PATENT SPECIFICATION FOR THE INVENTION ENTITLED:

The invention is described in the following statement:-
A feeding device for coal mine shotcreting machine
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to a material feeding device, in particular to a material feeding
device of a shotcrete machine which is suitable for supporting a mine rock roadway.
BACKGROUND
Shotcrete support technology has not only become the main form of mine rock
roadway support, but also a widely used lining technology in the fields of transportation,
water conservancy and urban subway. However, due to the lack of suitable mechanical
equipment in this process, the jet machine is mainly fed manually at present, which has
high labor intensity and low work efficiency.On the other hand, because the tunneling
faces under the well are scattered and the roadway space is narrow, dry-mixed bone
materials are often prepared by mixing stations on the ground during infrastructure
construction, and then transported to each tunneling face by harvesters. Because the
tunneling faces are usually far away from the shaft, the aggregates configured on the
ground will solidify in advance during regular transportation, and it is necessary to mix
materials manually when using them, which is laborious and time-consuming, seriously
affecting the speed of support construction and the quality of shotcreting. For this reason,
researchers have developed several models, such as chain bucket feeder, negative
pressure suction machine and wet spray extrusion pump. However, due to complex structure, inconvenient use and difficulty in pigging or transportation, they have not achieved successful application.
SUMMARY
The purpose of the invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, and to
provide a shotcreting machine feeding device with compact structure, easy disassembly,
time-saving and labor-saving, and good effect.

mechanism to lift the spiral lifting mechanism; the other side is provided with a
transmission mechanism connected with the gear of the worm gear transmission
mechanism and a batching mechanism connected with the power mechanism; The lower
part of the batching mechanism is provided with a discharge telescopic cylinder.
The moving frame consists of two pairs of rollers symmetrically placed on two side
walls of the mine car and two connecting shafts connecting the two pairs of rollers; The
material throwing mechanism consists of a material barrel with an inner hole in the middle, material mixing blades arranged in a cross-shaped asymmetric row in the material barrel, and a material barrel cover arranged on the feeding barrel; The spiral lifting mechanism consists of a stirring shaft, spiral blades arranged on the stirring shaft and a spiral shell arranged outside the spiral blades; The conical spiral material taking mechanism consists of a conical shell tube, a material taking screw obliquely fixed on the conical shell tube and an outer shell blade arranged at the head of the conical shell tube;
The transmission mechanism consists of a wind motor and an air cylinder; The worm
gear transmission mechanism consists of a screw fixed below the material throwing
mechanism, a worm bearing seat arranged on the screw, a worm wheel arranged on the
worm bearing seat and a worm matched with the worm wheel; The batching mechanism
consists of a batching bin and a large spiral blade and a small spiral blade which are
sequentially arranged in the batching bin, and the large spiral blade and the small spiral
blade are arranged on the same shaft directly driven by the power mechanism.

frame 8 is composed of two pairs of rollers symmetrically placed on both sides of the
mine car 10 and two connecting shafts connecting the two pairs of rollers. The telescopic
frame 7 is symmetrically arranged on the two connecting shafts of the moving frame 8
through a moving sleeve and can move along the connecting shafts. A radial material
throwing mechanism 6 is arranged above the telescopic frame 7, and the material
throwing mechanism 6 is composed of a material barrel 6-3 with an inner hole in the
middle, material mixing blades 6-2 arranged in a cross-shaped asymmetric arrangement
in the material barrel 6-3, and a material barrel cover 6-1 arranged on the upper material
barrel 6-3.The radial material throwing mechanism 6 is installed at the upper end of the
main shaft of the spiral material lifting mechanism 4, which is composed of a stirring
shaft 4-1, a spiral blade 4-2 arranged on the stirring shaft 4-1 and a spiral shell 4-3
arranged outside the spiral blade 4-2. The stirring shaft 4-1 of the spiral lifting
-'7
mechanism 4 passes through the bucket 6-3 of the radial throwing mechanism 6 and is
connected with the transmission gear, and a bearing set is arranged between the
transmission gear and the bucket 6-3. The lower end of the spiral lifting mechanism 4 is
hinged with three conical spiral material taking mechanisms 5 which revolve around the
axis of the spiral lifting mechanism 4 and rotate at 120 degrees. The conical spiral
material taking mechanism 5 consists of a conical shell tube 5-2, a material taking screw
-1 obliquely fixed on the conical shell tube 5-2 and an outer shell blade 5-3 arranged at
the head of the conical shell tube 5-2. One side of the radial material throwing
mechanism 6 is provided with a worm gear transmission mechanism 9 for lifting the
vertical spiral material lifting mechanism 4. The worm gear transmission mechanism 9 is
composed of a screw 9-3 fixed below the material throwing mechanism 6, a worm
bearing seat 9-4 arranged on the screw 9-3, a worm gear 9-2 arranged on the worm
bearing seat 9-4 and a worm 9-1 matched with the worm gear 9-2. On the other side of
the radial throwing mechanism 6, a power mechanism 3 connected with a worm gear
transmission mechanism 9 and a batching mechanism 2 connected with the power
mechanism 3 are arranged, and a discharging telescopic cylinder 1 is arranged below the
batching mechanism 2. The batching system 2 consists of a batching bin and a large
spiral blade 2-1 and a small spiral blade 2-2 which are sequentially arranged in the
batching bin, and the large spiral blade 2-1 and the small spiral blade 2-2 are arranged on
the same shaft directly driven by the power mechanism 3. The power mechanism 3 is
composed of an air motor and an air cylinder to solve the explosion-proof problem used
underground. The wind motor of the power mechanism 3 drives the batching mechanism
2 and drives the bevel gear drive screw lifting mechanism 4 to rotate, and drives the worm gear drive mechanism 9 through the cylindrical gear fixedly connected with the bevel gear.
Working process: transporting shotcrete aggregate (yellow sand and gravel) to the
heading face by mine car 10, installing the feeding device on the mine car, then starting
the power mechanism 3 to drive the wind motor power to the main shaft of the screw
lifting mechanism 4 by bevel gear, and drive the conical screw material taking
mechanism 5 to pull the aggregate into the lower end of the screw lifting mechanism 4.
Then transporting the aggregate upward by the screw lifting mechanism 4 to the radial
material throwing mechanism 6, and the aggregate enters the distribution bin of the
batching mechanism 2 under the action of the material throwing mechanism 6. At the
same time, cement and accelerator are added from the hopper of the batching mechanism
2. The cement and accelerator which are proportional to aggregate are sent to the
batching bin by the small spiral blade 2-2 in the dosing machine mechanism 2 directly
driven by the wind motor, which are stirred and mixed evenly with aggregate by the large
spiral blade 2-1. Then they are fed to the shotrete machine by the discharge telescopic
cylinder 1. With the continuous feeding of the spiral feeding mechanism 4, the worm gear
transmission mechanism 9 connected with the spiral feeding mechanism 4 drives the
telescopic frame 7 to move downwards, and the moving frame 8 reciprocates along both
sides of the mine car 10 under the action of the air cylinder until the aggregate in the
mine car is emptied.
