## Background
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)
This application is a National Phase Patent Application and claims the priority of International Application Number PCT/CN2007/003684, filed on Dec. 19, 2007, which claims priority of Chinese Patent Application Number 200710019307.6, filed on Jan. 15, 2007.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to extra-large vibrating screen with duplex statically indeterminate mesh beam excitation body and plate type combined bearing beam, which is especially applicable to size-grading, dehydration, desliming, and medium draining for coal and other materials.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Vibrating screen is a main equipment in coal preparation plants. The vibrating screens have a large scale of quantities, variety of specifications and frequent incidents. Especially, large-scale vibrating screen is the key equipment in technical renovation in new and old large-scale coal preparation plants in China. The efficacy and reliability of the screening, dehydration, and medium draining processes of the vibrating screen have direct influence on the economic benefit of the coal preparation plants. However, due to technical defects, homemade large-scale vibrating screen cannot meet the actual demands in production in coal mines and coal preparation plants yet. In design, conventional vibrating screens usually employ I-beams or rectangular steel beams as the support for the vibration exciters. The I-beam or rectangular steel beams are only of bearing function. Therefore, the vibration exciters are large in size and heavy in weight, and thus the vibration mass of the screen frame is heavy. Once the width of cross section of the screen frame is over 3 m, the structural dimensions and weight of the main beam will be increased severely, causing difficulties in machining and assembling of the main beam and tube beams. For any vibrating screen with cross section wider than 3 m, a simple grease-lubricated vibration exciter cannot deliver the exciting force required by the vibrating components for the heavy vibration mass; consequently, a low-speed thin oil lubricated vibration exciter with big bearings has to be used. Especially, a linear screen has to be implemented with a synchronizer and synchronizing gears. Due to the limitation of the material and technical level of machining, fracture of the tube beams and cracking of the side plates often occur during the operation of vibrating screen, which not only degrade the production efficiency but also shorten the service life of the screening machine. That trouble is a key factor that has hindered the designers to increase the width of cross section of the screen frame and improve the structural parameters for years. In Patent Application No. ZL02112809.x, a large-scale vibrating screen of statically indeterminate mesh beam excitation was disclosed, which solved the problem in the structural steel of the screen body and exciting force matching for the large-scale vibrating screen with cross section wider than 3 m. However, in that technical scheme, if the width of the cross section of the screen frame is over 3.6 m, the problems in overall structural rigidity of the screen frame, structure of bearing beam, and reliability of the vibrating screen become severe, and directly influence the reliability, service life, and operating efficacy of the vibrating screen. Such problems have limited the development of extra-large vibrating screens. Since the vibrating screen size cannot be increased, more vibrating screens have to be used to meet the demand of production; consequently, the construction cost and production management cost are increased. At present, most large-scale and extra-large vibrating screens in China are imported products. Over these years, it has been an urgent demand to develop large-scale vibrating screens and implement technical localization in the development of technical level of coal preparation and mass production.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the problems in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide an extra-large vibrating screen with duplex statically indeterminate mesh beam excitation body and plate type combined bearing beam.
In order to attain the object, the present invention provides an extra-large vibrating screen, which comprises a screen box, an elastic bearing body that supports the screen box, a statically indeterminate mesh beam unit, motors, and tire-type flexible couplings, wherein, a plate type statically indeterminate combined bearing beam is arranged in the screen box, and rectangular close beams connected to the combined bearing beam are arranged at the discharge side and the feeding side; a plurality of Y-shaped statically indeterminate combined reinforcing beams are arranged on the side plates of the screen box at certain spacing; the mesh beams of the statically indeterminate mesh beam unit serve as a duplex statically indeterminate mesh beam excitation body, which links a plurality of mesh beams linked via duplex statically indeterminate supporting plates to the statically indeterminate connecting plate and the side plate so as to form a container made of a beam system; the vibration exciters in the statically indeterminate mesh beam unit comprise eight sets of vibration exciters, which are aligned in pair horizontally and linked together through universal couplings, and connected to the duplex statically indeterminate mesh beam body to form a highly rigid integral vibrating assembly.
The plate type rigid statically indeterminate combined bearing beam comprises a statically indeterminate supporting plate, a plurality of beams fixed to the statically indeterminate supporting plate, and statically indeterminate connecting plates fixed to the outer side of the beams; the two ends of the statically indeterminate supporting plate for the statically indeterminate combined bearing beam are right-angle plates, and the two end faces of the front and rear right-angle plates are fixed to the rectangular close beams; there is an opening between the rectangular close beam at the discharge side and the combined bearing beam, but between the rectangular close beam at the feeding side and the combined bearing beam is closed; the Y-shaped statically indeterminate combined reinforcing beam comprises supporting tubes, a side plate, and a statically indeterminate plate, wherein, the supporting tubes are aligned in Y-shape between the side plate and the statically indeterminate plate; the motors and the tire-type flexible couplings are in two sets, and are arranged beside the side plates of the screen box in symmetry.
The extra-large vibrating screen provided in the present invention is applicable to size-grading, dehydration, desliming, and medium draining for coal. According to the requirement for exciting force and vibration direction angle, the load on the main beam is distributed on the statically indeterminate supporting plates proportionally, and the mesh beam body participates in the vibration directly; therefore, the I-beam or rectangular steel beam that serves as the main frame to support the vibration exciters in the prior art is omitted, and thereby the mass of vibration is decreased. The plate type statically indeterminate combined bearing beam structure constitutes an integral planar rigid body, and therefore the overall bending and torsion resistance of the screen frame is improved. The vibration exciters in mesh beam excitation body structure are small in size, the mass of vibration of the vibrating screen is light in weight, the individual vibrating components have reduced exciting force and higher movement accuracy; therefore, the width of cross section of the screen frame can be increased effectively, and the unit yield rate and efficiency can be improved. The vibrating screen is characterized by simple, compact, and reliable structure, high rigidity, high strength against vibration, good structure, and smooth and reliable vibration performance, and the entire unit can be transported and installed as components. Due to the reliable structure, the overall mechanical performance of the vibrating screen is improved, and therefore the vibrating screen can meet the demand in production in large-scale coal mines and coal preparation plants, and can be widely applied in coal, metallurgical, chemical, and environmental protection industries.
