Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bucket wheel reclaimer technology, and more particularly to a bucket wheel reclaimer. Background Technology

[0002] The bucket wheel reclaimer is a material-collecting device that uses a drive mechanism to drive a multi-bucket, continuously rotating bucket wheel to achieve continuous digging, collection, and transportation of materials. Driven by the drive unit, the bucket wheel rotates in a predetermined direction. The entire bucket wheel mechanism, through its slewing, pitching, and traveling mechanisms, cuts the rotating bucket wheel into a designated position on the material pile. The drive unit is located on one side of the bucket wheel's rotation axis, driving the bucket wheel to rotate and collect materials.

[0003] However, materials are prone to spilling from the non-receiving side and falling onto the axial side of the rotating shaft of the bucket wheel device. This can cause contamination of the bucket wheel reclaimer. In particular, the drive unit is easily damaged after being contaminated by spilled materials, which can delay production and result in the loss of spare parts. Furthermore, spilled materials can accumulate on the axial side of the rotating shaft of the bucket wheel device, requiring frequent cleaning and resulting in a waste of manpower and resources. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To better understand the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this specification, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this specification will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of this specification and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this specification, rather than limitations on the technical solutions of this specification. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of this specification and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0020] In this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element. The term "two or more" includes two or more cases.

[0021] In related technologies, the bucket wheel reclaimer 100 uses a drive mechanism to drive a multi-bucket, continuously rotating bucket wheel device 20 to achieve continuous digging, collection, and transportation of materials. Driven by a drive device 30, the bucket wheel device 20 rotates in a set direction. The entire bucket wheel mechanism, through the equipment's rotation, pitch, and travel mechanisms, cuts the rotating bucket wheel into a designated position in the material pile. The drive device 30 is located on one side of the rotation axis of the bucket wheel device 20, and drives the bucket wheel device 20 to rotate and collect materials.

[0022] However, materials are prone to spilling from the non-collection side and falling onto the axial side of the rotating shaft of the bucket wheel device 20. This can cause contamination of the bucket wheel reclaimer 100. In particular, the drive unit 30 is easily damaged after being contaminated by spilled materials, which can delay production and result in the loss of spare parts. Furthermore, the spilled materials will accumulate on the axial side of the rotating shaft of the bucket wheel device 20, which requires frequent cleaning and results in a waste of manpower and resources.

[0023] In response, this application proposes a bucket wheel reclaimer 100, which can reduce the contamination of the drive device 30 by spilled materials, improve the service life of the drive device 30, and facilitate the cleaning of materials when they accumulate excessively, reducing the frequency of manual cleaning.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the bucket wheel reclaimer 100 according to an embodiment of this application includes: a base 10, a bucket wheel device 20, a drive device 30, and a cleaning device 40.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the bucket wheel device 20 is rotatably mounted on the base 10, and the output end of the drive device 30 is poweredly connected to the bucket wheel device 20.

[0026] Understandably, the bucket wheel device 20 may include a bucket wheel and multiple hoppers. Multiple hoppers are evenly installed on the circumference of the bucket wheel. When a hopper rotates with the bucket wheel to the bottom of the material pile, it first penetrates and cuts the material. As the bucket wheel continues to rotate, the hoppers delve deeper into the pile, and the material is excavated, scraped, and filled into the hoppers under the constraints of gravity, extrusion pressure, and the hopper walls. The hoppers filled with material are lifted from the bottom of the pile as the bucket wheel rotates, and then rotate upwards and backwards (relative to the material extraction direction). After the hoppers have rotated past the highest point of the wheel, their openings gradually face downwards, and the material falls naturally under its own gravity, eventually reaching the belt conveyor within the base 10 for external material transport.

[0027] In some implementations, the drive unit 30 may be located on the rotation axis of the bucket wheel device 20 (e.g., Figure 1On one side of the rotation axis (X) of the bucket wheel device 20, for example, the drive device 30 can be poweredly connected to the bucket wheel device 20 through the output shaft. When the bucket wheel device 20 rotates to convey materials, the materials are easily spilled from the non-receiving side and fall onto the side of the rotation axis of the bucket wheel device 20. This will cause contamination of the bucket wheel reclaimer 100. In particular, the drive device 30 is easily damaged after being contaminated by spilled materials, which will delay production and cause spare parts loss. Moreover, the spilled materials will accumulate on the side of the rotation axis of the bucket wheel device 20, which requires frequent cleaning and wastes manpower and resources.

[0028] Therefore, in this application, a cleaning device 40 is provided on the base 10. The cleaning device 40 is connected to the base 10 and is located on at least one side of the axial direction of the rotation axis of the bucket wheel device 20. That is to say, the cleaning device 40 can be provided on one side of the axial direction of the rotation axis of the bucket wheel device 20, or the cleaning device 40 can be provided on both sides of the axial direction of the rotation axis of the bucket wheel device 20. No limitation is made here.

[0029] The cleaning device 40 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning device 40 is parallel to the base 10 to carry materials. In this way, the cleaning device 40 in the first state can carry the materials spilled on one side of the axial direction of the rotation axis of the bucket wheel device 20, reduce the risk of materials entering the drive device 30, reduce the contamination of the drive device 30 by the spilled materials, and improve the service life of the drive device 30.

[0030] In the second state, such as Figure 3 As shown, at least a portion of the cleaning device 40 is tilted relative to the base 10 to pour out the material. In this way, the tilt of at least a portion of the cleaning device 40 relative to the base 10 can be controlled to put the cleaning device 40 into a second state, thereby pouring out the material carried on the cleaning device 40. This makes it easy to clean up the material when there is too much material accumulation, reducing the frequency of manual cleaning.

[0031] According to the embodiment of this application, the bucket wheel reclaimer 100 can carry materials spilled from one side of the axial direction of the rotating axis of the bucket wheel device 20 through the cleaning device 40 in the first state, thereby reducing the risk of materials entering the drive device 30, reducing the pollution of the drive device 30 by spilled materials, and improving the service life of the drive device 30. Moreover, at least part of the cleaning device 40 can be controlled to tilt relative to the base 10 to put the cleaning device 40 in the second state, thereby dumping the materials carried on the cleaning device 40. In this way, it is easy to clean up the materials when too much material accumulates, reducing the frequency of manual cleaning.

[0032] In some embodiments, in the distribution direction of the cleaning device 40 and the base 10, at least a portion of the drive device 30 is located between the cleaning device 40 and the base 10, and at least a portion of the projection of the cleaning device 40 falls within the drive device 30.

[0033] This allows at least a portion of the cleaning device 40 to be located on the side of the drive device 30 away from the base 10 (e.g., Figure 2 (above the center), so that regardless of whether the cleaning device 40 is in the first state or the second state, the cleaning device 40 can bear the material spilled on one side of the axial direction of the rotating axis of the bucket wheel device 20, reducing the risk of material entering the drive device 30, reducing the pollution of the drive device 30 by the spilled material, and improving the service life of the drive device 30.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, the cleaning device 40 includes a baffle plate 41, which is rotatably mounted on the base 10 to switch between a first state and a second state.

[0035] It is understandable that the baffle plate 41 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the baffle plate 41 is parallel to the base 10 to support materials. In this way, the baffle plate 41 in the first state can support materials spilled from one side of the rotation axis of the bucket wheel device 20, reducing the risk of materials entering the drive device 30, minimizing contamination of the drive device 30 by spilled materials, and improving the service life of the drive device 30. In the second state, as... Figure 3 As shown, at least a portion of the baffle plate 41 is tilted relative to the base 10 to pour out the material.

[0036] In this way, the material on the non-collecting side (one side of the axial direction of the rotating axis of the bucket wheel device 20) can be collected and dumped through the baffle plate 41. Moreover, the structure of the baffle plate 41 is relatively simple, which helps to reduce the difficulty of installation and cost.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the baffle plate 41 has a first end 411 and a second end 412 disposed opposite to each other. The first end 411 is rotatably mounted on the base 10, and the second end 412 is rotatably mounted on the base 10. The first end 411 or the second end 412 is slidably mounted on the base 10 in the distribution direction of the baffle plate 41 and the base 10.

[0038] It is understood that one of the first end 411 and the second end 412 is slidably mounted on the base 10 in the distribution direction of the baffle plate 41 and the base 10. In this way, the baffle plate 41 can be switched between the first state and the second state by sliding one of the first end 411 and the second end 412 in the distribution direction of the baffle plate 41 and the base 10, and by rotating the other of the first end 411 and the second end 412 relative to the base 10. This makes it easier to reduce the difficulty of switching the baffle plate 41 between the first state and the second state.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bucket wheel reclaimer 100 also includes a lifting rod 42, which is slidably engaged with the base 10 in the distribution direction of the baffle plate 41 and the base 10, and the second end 412 is rotatably connected to the lifting rod 42.

[0040] Therefore, by setting the lifting rod 42, the second end 412 can slide relative to the base 10, and the lifting rod 42 can slide and cooperate with the base 10 in the distribution direction of the baffle plate 41 and the base 10, which can improve the sliding stability of the second end 412 relative to the base 10.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the base 10 is fixedly provided with a first support rod 11 and a second support rod 12. A clearance space is formed between the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12 for avoiding the drive device 30. The first support rod 11 is rotatably connected to the first end 411. The lifting rod 42 and the second support rod 12 slide in the distribution direction of the baffle plate 41 and the base 10.

[0042] In this way, by setting the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12, while satisfying the installation of the baffle plate 41, the drive device 30 (e.g., the output shaft of the drive device 30) is avoided through the clearance space formed between the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12, thereby avoiding interference between the baffle plate 41 and the drive device 30, and thus reducing the difficulty of setting the baffle plate 41.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second support rod 12 is sleeved on the lifting rod 42.

[0044] This arrangement makes the second support rod 12 and the lifting rod 42 compact, and the sliding of the lifting rod 42 relative to the base 10 can be changed to the sliding of the lifting rod 42 relative to the second support rod 12. Since the second support rod 12 is fixedly set on the base 10, and the second support rod 12 is sleeved on the lifting rod 42, it can guide the sliding of the lifting rod 42, thereby improving the sliding stability of the lifting rod 42.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bucket wheel reclaimer 100 also includes a reset member 50, which is disposed between the base 10 and the lifting rod 42 and is used to apply a reset force to the baffle plate 41 to rotate from the second state to the first state.

[0046] In this way, the resetting member 50 can apply a resetting force to the baffle plate 41 to rotate from the second state to the first state, so that the baffle plate 41 can be automatically reset. This eliminates the need for manual resetting, thereby reducing the difficulty of resetting the baffle plate 41 to the first state.

[0047] In some embodiments, the reset member 50 includes an elastic member.

[0048] In this way, the resetting member 50 can apply an elastic resetting force to the baffle plate 41 to rotate from the second state to the first state, so that the baffle plate 41 can be elastically reset. In this way, there is no need to manually reset, thereby reducing the difficulty of resetting the baffle plate 41 to the first state.

[0049] Meanwhile, in actual use, since the reset member 50 is an elastic member, the elastic member can apply an elastic force to the baffle plate 41 to maintain it in the first state when the baffle plate 41 is not subjected to external force.

[0050] Therefore, when there is little material accumulation, the elastic element of the baffle plate 41 maintains its original length, and the lifting rod 42 remains in its original position. When too much material accumulates, the material's own weight will compress the elastic element, and the second end 412 of the baffle plate 41 will move downward through the lifting rod 42, so that the first end 411 and the second end 412 are not at the same height, that is, the baffle plate 41 is in the second state (e.g. Figure 3 The second state (i.e., the baffle plate 41 forms a slope, thereby automatically shaking off and spilling the material; after the material falls, the elastic element returns to its original length, and the rebound causes the baffle plate 41 to return to the first state (e.g.) Figure 2 (The second state in the middle).

[0051] This allows for the automatic cleaning of materials accumulated on the baffle plate 41, reducing the frequency of manual cleaning.

[0052] For example, the elastic element can be a spring or a leaf spring. When the elastic element is a spring, the spring can be fixedly connected to the lifting rod 42 through the connecting plate 60 to ensure the stability of the connection between the two.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second support rod 12 is sleeved on the reset member 50.

[0054] In this way, the arrangement of the second support rod 12 and the reset member 50 can be compact, and the second support rod 12 can protect the reset member 50. At the same time, the second support rod 12 is sleeved on the reset member 50. When the reset member 50 is a spring, it can ensure the direction of the spring's compression or extension, thereby ensuring the direction of the spring's reset force and thus ensuring its reset effect.
