[0029] This application provides a coal mine underground car positioning device, including:

[0030] The support frame 1 is provided with a rotating hole 11 for connecting the axle of the mine car;

[0031] The connecting frame 2 is provided with a connecting plate 21 that is hinged to the support frame 1, and a first magnet 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame 2 near the side wall of the support frame 1, and a second magnet 22 that is magnetically repelled by the first magnet 12 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1.

[0032] The cleaning strip 3 is hinged to the connecting frame 2. The two hinge axes of the connecting frame 2 are arranged in parallel, and an RFID reader 31 is fixedly connected to the side of the cleaning strip 3 near the track.

[0033] For example, the RFID reader 31 can be implemented with a high-sensitivity radio frequency signal receiving module and signal processing circuit, and is electrically connected to the power supply of the mine car. It can accurately read the signals of RFID passive tags fixed on the side wall of the track during the movement of the mine car and perform preliminary processing, which facilitates the storage of mine car location data and its uploading to the ground monitoring center.

[0034] In the coal mine underground car positioning device provided in this application embodiment, a support frame 1 is rotatably connected to the mine car axle. The repulsive force of the first magnet 12 and the second magnet 22 is used to make one end of the connecting frame 2 with the cleaning strip 3 fit against the side wall of the mine car track. The cleaning strip 3 is used to clean the slag on the side wall of the track. At the same time, the RFID reader 31 on the cleaning strip 3 reads the RFID passive tags that are spaced apart on the side wall of the track. By obtaining the unique identification code stored inside the RFID passive tag, the position of the mine car is located. This solves the defect of poor positioning accuracy of the mine car in the prior art and achieves the purpose of improving the accuracy of identifying the position of the mine car in the coal mine.

[0035] In some embodiments, in order to reduce frictional loss at the connection between the support frame 1 and the mine car axle, a rotating bearing 5 is detachably connected to the rotating hole 11. The rotating bearing 5 can be implemented as a thrust ball bearing. The inner ring of the rotating bearing 5 is interference-fitted with the mine car axle, and the outer ring of the rotating bearing 5 is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the rotating hole 11.

[0036] Optionally, in order to facilitate reliable lubrication of the rotating bearing 5, an end cover 6 is detachably connected to the support frame 1 near the rotating bearing 5, and one end of the end cover 6 is in contact with the side wall of the inner ring of the rotating bearing 5.

[0037] For example, the end cap 6 can be fixedly connected to the support frame 1 by bolts. One end of the end cap 6 is in contact with the side wall of the inner ring of the rotating bearing 5, thereby preventing the rotating bearing 5 from sliding along the length of the mine car axle and improving the convenience of connecting the rotating bearing 5 to the support frame 1 and the mine car axle.

[0038] Optionally, in order to facilitate the cleaning of slag adhering to the side wall of the mine car track, one end of the cleaning strip 3 is provided with an inclined angle along the front end of the traveling direction, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the top wall of the cleaning strip 3 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the bottom wall of the cleaning strip 3.

[0039] By using the tilt angle of the cleaning strip 3 to clean the slag attached to the side wall of the track and remove it from the track, the probability of the slag obstructing the RFID reader 31 from recognizing the RFID passive tag fixed on the track is reduced. This can not only improve the accuracy of the RFID reader 31 in recognizing the position of the mine car, but also reduce the probability of the RFID reader 31 being damaged due to contact with the slag.

[0040] Optionally, in order to reduce the probability of wear and tear on the cleaning strip 3, a protective cover is also connected to the side of the cleaning strip 3 near the tilt angle.

[0041] By fixing a protective cover to the outside of the cleaning strip 3, the protective cover can be implemented as a triangle. The protective cover and the cleaning strip 3 are fixedly connected by bolts, thereby protecting the tilt angle of the cleaning strip 3 and reducing the probability of wear on the cleaning strip 3.

[0042] Optionally, the support frame 1 is also threadedly connected to an adjusting column 4.

[0043] Operators can adjust the horizontal direction of the support frame 1 by adding or removing fixing bolts on the adjusting column 4, so as to ensure that the cleaning strip 3 fits tightly with the side wall of the track and facilitate the cleaning of slag from the side wall of the track.

[0044] Optionally, the support frame 1 has a first trapezoidal groove 13, the cross-sectional shape of the first trapezoidal groove 13 is the same as that of the first magnet 12, and the first magnet 12 is detachably connected to the support frame 1 through the first trapezoidal groove 13.

[0045] For example, the inner wall of the first trapezoidal groove 13 is also fixedly connected to a first flexible strip, and the side of the first flexible strip away from the first trapezoidal groove 13 is in contact with the first magnet 12.

[0046] By opening a first trapezoidal groove 13 on the support frame 1, the gap of the first trapezoidal groove 13 near the connecting frame 2 is smaller than the gap of the first trapezoidal groove 13 away from the connecting frame 2, and the first magnet 12 protrudes from the first trapezoidal groove 13, thereby achieving magnetic repulsion between the first magnet 13 and the second magnet 22 to press the cleaning strip 3 against the track side wall.

[0047] Optionally, the connecting frame 2 has a second trapezoidal groove 23, the cross-sectional shape of the second trapezoidal groove 23 is the same as that of the second magnet 22, and the second magnet 22 is detachably connected to the connecting frame 2 through the second trapezoidal groove 23.

[0048] Optionally, a second flexible strip is also fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second trapezoidal groove 23, and the side of the second flexible strip away from the second trapezoidal groove 23 is in contact with the second magnet 22.

[0049] By opening a second trapezoidal groove 23 on the connecting frame 2, the gap of the second trapezoidal groove 23 near the support frame 1 is smaller than the gap of the first trapezoidal groove 13 away from the support frame 1. The second magnet 22 protrudes from the second trapezoidal groove 23, thereby pressing the cleaning strip 3 against the track side wall by magnetic repulsion with the first magnet 12.

[0050] In the coal mine underground car positioning device provided in this application embodiment, a support frame 1 is rotatably connected to the mine car axle. The repulsive force of the first magnet 12 and the second magnet 22 is used to make one end of the connecting frame 2 with the cleaning strip 3 fit against the side wall of the mine car track. The cleaning strip 3 is used to clean the slag on the side wall of the track. At the same time, the RFID reader 31 on the cleaning strip 3 reads the RFID passive tags that are spaced apart on the side wall of the track. By obtaining the unique identification code stored inside the RFID passive tag, the position of the mine car is located. This solves the defect of poor positioning accuracy of the mine car in the prior art and achieves the purpose of improving the accuracy of identifying the position of the mine car in the coal mine.

[0052] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit this application. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
