Be for essence of the present invention, aforesaid, mainly be the effect of electric control device 9 and when closing a floodgate with respect to electricity asynchronous motor 3 startings and corresponding to face conveyor or shearing device when also chain-driven unit starts gently as the effect of the plate clutch 6 of sliding clutch formation.This control gear makes electric control or electricity with a plate clutch 6 and regulates the clossing pressure regulator for this purpose, it is such: when the switch of chain-driven unit starting period by electric control and solenoid valve 7, continuously or small step improve hydraulic loaded pressure with cutting down, and therefore the contact pressure plate that improves plate clutch 6 thus also regulates its slip, finish up to starting period, two asynchronous motors are sent to their all driving torques on the sprocket wheel 2.In the moment of motor starting, promptly when asynchronous motor 3 electricity closed a floodgate, these plate clutches 6 began there is not pressure, so asynchronous motor 3 can start the running speed to it non-loadedly.After realizing motor starting, reach lentamente continuously by control gear 9 and by the solenoid valve 7 of its control and plate clutch 6 to be loaded, so that set up continuously and corresponding thus the raising lentamente by sprocket wheel 2 conduction starts for the chain force of chain 1 until chain-driven unit corresponding the reaching lentamente of this pressure of starting period with hydraulic medium.
Above-mentioned process as described, is to be realized by the adjusting of control gear 9 or control, and is as mentioned above to this, also can such control gear 9 all be set to each gear unit I and II.This control gear 9 has an electronic computer by pilot 8 control electromagnetic valve 7.To make asynchronous motor 3 meritorious electric power and active current at that time offer control gear 9 by the electrical signal lead shown in Fig. 1 27 to this as measured value.Simultaneously, this control gear 9 is connected on the plate clutch 6 by electrical signal lead 28.It makes the measured value transmitter that plate clutch 6 is provided with send such measured value to control gear 9: these measured values are equivalent to plate clutch hydraulic loaded pressure and this clutch dull and stereotyped contact pressure at that time at that time.In addition, this control gear 9 also is connected with electrical signal lead 29, carries measured value by the measured value transmitter, these transmitters to measure the slip of driving mechanism at that time or clutch by their.This measured value transmitter of monitoring that is used to slide is known equally.The electronic computer of control gear 9 is handled these and is passed through signal conductor 27 as measured value, 28,29 survey data that transmit, the relation of this computer by these survey data calculated the required hydraulic loaded pressure of per moment and the dull and stereotyped contact pressure of plate clutch 6 according to the accommodometer algorithm in the computer program that its is provided with, the dull and stereotyped contact pressure of utilizing the mode of measured value and setting value comparison to regulate corresponding hydraulic loaded pressure and plate clutch 6 by solenoid valve 7 then.This adjustment process is as stating, the endurance that is achieved in that the starting period by chain-driven unit improves the hydraulic loaded pressure of plate clutch 6 lentamente and improves closing force and slip torque thus, asynchronous motor 3 torque that it is all to the last is delivered on the sprocket wheel via driving mechanism 4, and has realized the mild starting of chain-driven unit.
Aforesaid, the pressure of plate clutch 6 hydraulic pressure unloads when motor starting, also is clutch separation, so that asynchronous motor 3 starts the working speed to it non-loadedly behind combined floodgate.When motor starting finishes, begun described starting period with the control of the hydraulic pressure clossing pressure of the described plate clutch 6 that works of mild starting to face conveyor or shearing device.Motor starting finishes and can send control gear to as signal by another electrical signal lead 30, is used to guide starting period.The clossing pressure of starting period plate clutch 6 regulate aspect control gear 9 to solenoid valve 7 continuously or pulsed regulate and realize, just through pilot 8 repeatedly control electromagnetic valve 7 switch and realize by the pressure that continuously corresponding or small step improve plate clutch 6 cylinder chamber corresponding to face conveyor or the required mild start request of shearing device with cutting down.
In Fig. 1, do not express the electrical signal lead that is used to transmit overload identification measured value that is connected with control gear 9, this measured value for example is the measured value to the torque sensor of gear unit setting, so that under overload situations, for example under the situation that chain-driven unit stops up, control gear 9 is by the pilot 8 control plate clutches of solenoid valve 7, transmission between asynchronous motor 3 and the sprocket wheel 2 linked open.Asynchronous motor 3 is turn-offed.
On described transmission device, electric control device 9 control plate clutches 6, make it play effect on the one hand as overload clutch, play the effect that is used for each alien frequencies motor load balance on the other hand, play the effect that is used for motor starting and face conveyor or the mild starting of shearing machinery when devoting oneself to work at last.This not only is suitable for and ought the situation of a common control gear 9 be set to two gear unit I and II, and is suitable for being provided with for each gear unit the situation of a control gear 9 separately.
According to the present invention, described transmission device is by means of the tension of the carrier bar of tension that also can be used for controlling plane chain by pressure controlled plate clutch or face conveyor.For the work of improving of face conveyor and shearing device, well-known, the chain belt pretension power that need accurately adjust for the driving torque of transmission device.The pretension power of chain belt is normally utilized the do calibration of modification chain belt in the place to use of face conveyor or shearing machinery or is adjusted.Known to this is to make the chain belt tension on main or auxilliary transmission device by drive motor.For this purpose, this chain belt at first must be lived by locking by means of a chain belt fixed equipment near this transmission device, the sprocket wheel 2 that is driven by the asynchronous motor 3 that uses as the tension motor will be by this motoring then, and is can be free-moving at the sprocket wheel 2 at another gear unit place for detouring of chain belt.The chain belt that suspends can be got rid of from the chain belt path of closure and this chain belt is strained by means of this asynchronous motor that uses as the tension motor, then the chain belt in the chain belt fixed equipment zone is opened, chain belt is shortened and closed again at last chain belt, so that fixedly just obtained desirable chain belt pretension power behind the locking engagement removing chain belt.Such chain belt tension is generally known in mining is used.According to the present invention, the method for this adjusting chain belt pretension power will realize by means of one or two control gear 9 and plate clutch 6.If the motor 3 in the gear unit I of main transmission is used for the chain belt tension, then after the chain belt in the main transmission zone 1 is fixed, utilize the switching manipulation at control gear 9 places that the asynchronous motor 3 of gear unit I is closed a floodgate, and the plate clutch 6 on the gear unit II that assists transmission device is opened.After the no-load starting of the motor 3 of gear unit I, its plate clutch 6 by control gear 9 to the control of its solenoid valve 7 lentamente (constantly or be classified to) make hydraulic loaded so that the contact pressure of the hydraulic flat of this plate clutch improves lentamente.The driven transmission torque of the sprocket wheel 2 of gear unit I and the dull and stereotyped contact pressure of rising are just becoming the raising of ratio, and the also corresponding raising of the tightening force in the chain belt 1.If when having reached the numerical value of required chain belt tightening force predetermined in computer program, then can with conventional method chain belt be shortened in locking sprocket wheel 2 backs mechanically.As described, the chain belt tightening force is proportional to the motor active power of the asynchronous motor 3 that uses as the tension motor.During the tension process, the active power of this motor 3 is handled constantly by the electronic computer of control gear 9.By regulating solenoid valve 7 the hydraulic flat contact pressure of the plate clutch 6 of gear unit I is improved according to accommodometer algorithm predetermined in computer right, till reaching the preliminary election chain belt pretension power that adapts with motor active power by computer-controlled pressure.Whole tension process therefore be by control gear 9 by means of this control gear to utilize the releasable regulating loop of switching manipulation to regulate solenoid valve by the pressure of plate clutch automatically computer-controlled.
