Abstract

The invention relates to a mechanical hopper for transporting large amounts of mineral ore and sterile materials, to be used in heavy-duty trucks, characterised in that the plurality of girders that form the structure thereof, the sectional floor sheets, the front wall, side walls, side extensions, canopy, stone ejector holder and load deflectors are mainly attached by bolts. In addition, the side extensions can be attached optionally to the side walls in order to increase the capacity of the hopper. The manufacturing materials are high-strength structural steels of 300 to 750 MPa and anti-abrasive steels of 300 to 500 HB. The hopper has a chain-type stone ejector installed, which protects the wheels of the truck. Since the elements of the hopper are mainly attached by bolts, repairs can be performed on the truck, reducing the time required for said tasks and not requiring the removal of welds, only the removal of bolts from the compromised area. In addition, since the hopper is sectional, it is possible to move same by sections and to assemble same in the field, avoiding transport problems due to the large size thereof, for example in mines which are accessed via tunnels.

Description

"MECANO HOPPER TO THE TRANSPORT MINERAL OR STERILE FOR USE IN HIGH TONNAGE TRUCKS ALLOWING EASY ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY OF ITS SECTIONS" The present application of the invention is directed to a hopper mechano mining, which applies to all types of loading conditions , adapting to a variety of specific conditions of each mine site , which mainly allows easy assembly and disassembly of the sections that make up the floor , side walls , front wall and the visor. PRIOR ART Large volumes of ore mined in mining, dump trucks require large capacity, which must perform repeated cycles to transport ore from the place of extraction to where it will be processed. What's important to have the bins in mining, their designs are in constant improvements. Thus achieving better performance in transporting material. An important factor in iterative and these improvements have been the materials of which the hoppers are constructed. In this way we can find them made of different types of steels according to the solicitation which each part of the hopper . Therefore the materials used vary from structural steel, through the anti-abrasive and reaching polymeric materials. The geometry of the bins has also been altered over time, from straight to curved -story homes, using folded beams, type t, type I or drawer. To redress these hoppers must be removed, which is incurred in the use of lifting equipment and lower beds . This because current designs do not allow a major repair on the truck, involving a process average of 30 days to do it. In addition to the time required for repair, also incur high risks both financial and security. One drawback is that the hoppers have the means by which it is transported from its place of manufacture to the place of slaughter. Due to its large size the hoppers have , should carry out a feasibility study route , which depends directly on the road authority places to travel. When transportation is international, the problem is maximized because the costs increase because of the size and weight of the hopper. Translating actions described above cost, these are great. Hence the importance of constant improvement in the designs of hoppers, which attempt to solve these problems. The present application for patent, attacks the various problems outlined above, in an efficient and effective at the same time. Offering an innovative solution, high inventive and capable of industrial application that reduces the risk and cost level.

The mechano hopper presented in this application allows easy assembly and disassembly of the sections that make up the floor, side walls, the front wall and visor, greatly reducing the time required for these tasks. Because your joints are made primarily by bolts, have the status of being a mechano hopper, so you should not incur the weld removal processes, focusing only on extracting bolts sections of the hopper. Thanks to a hard engineering study the possibility of dispensing almost entirely of welded joints, identifying areas where the greatest intentions product loading and unloading of the hopper to ultimately pinpoint occur where they should go was achieved the both bolted joints of steel plates and their sectioned beams that make up its structure. A remarkable feature of the hopper mechano mining is its striped design, which allows the change of the (side, hood, front and floor) only components that are impaired in the repair. This factor is also extremely important when the transport of the hopper to the task, because it is done in sections and then assembled on site. Which in cases of miners are at high altitudes above the sea, where the access road to them is through tunnels, greatly favors. For the assembly process on site, being Meccano welding required is minimal because the majority of the bonds are bolted, reducing the chances of failure by welding and inputs it requires.

FULL DESCRIPTION The mechano hopper has several key aspects Floor hopper is sectioned into 3 parts ( Figure 7 ) , which are curved section of variant radius at the ends and in the main section of the anvil , center, is straight (Figure 8) . The floor is constructed of structural steel and high-strength anti-abrasive . The joints between the three sections of the ceiling and floor are bolted to flanges of varying cross section and radius, being reinforced gousset welded to the floor (Fig. 9) . Among each joint there is a rubber insulator so as to avoid friction. The beams that make up each section of the floor are variant inertia , beam type " C" with caps consisting of 3 sections (Figure 10). The bonding of the beams to the legs of the frame is 4 to 6 mechano by bolts (Figure 11) .

The upper lids are slotted beams C , so were fixed to the floor with intermittent welding. (Figure 12). The chassis legs are mechanoreceptors and are divided into 3 sections which hold together the floor and the front ( Figure 13). The tilt angle is equivalent to the truck frame (6 0 to 12 0) , but the floor has an angle of 9 0 to 12 0, allowing thus to avoid spillage of material transported. (Figure 14 ), each section of the chassis legs are joined through butt joints with flanges and bolts, with rubber insulation between each joint to avoid friction (Figure 15). The boot is carrying stone and stone mechano boot is of type string ( Figure 16). The joint between the floor and the front section is of varying radius curve (Figure 17). The sides are mechano, which are attached to the floor and the front (Figure 18) . The type of bolt used between the front and the floor is ASTM A325 . To protect bolts abrasion aggregates anti abrasive protection plates are installed in the steel inside the hopper (Figure 19) . In the case of binding with the front side , this is carried out through a plate cylinder of radius variation (Figure 20). The steel used in the manufacture of high strength is between 300 MPa and 750 MPa or anti abrasive of 300 HB to 500 HB. The side allows to increase the volumetric capacity of the hopper , through the addition of an erector over lateral (Figure 21 ) , which the side is attached by a plurality of bolts, which are protected by a sheet of anti-abrasive steel (Figure 22) . The meccano front wall is attached to the top wall ( visor ) , side walls and floor ( Figure 23 ) . With the latter is attached by bolts, which are protected by a steel plate anti abrasive (Figure 24) . While the side joins together through agents consisting of steel section anti abrasive curves radius variation (Figure 25 ) . With the top wall ( visor) is attached through a joint constituted agents curves anti abrasive section steel radius variant (Figure 26) . The front wall is comprised of three beams I sectioned into three parts that are joined together by means of flanges and bolts with rubber antifriction between the flanges (Fig. 27 , 28.29 ) , slotted in its upper wing, which are fixed to the top wall ( visor ) and floor by spot welding (Figure 30). Two beams I mechano grooved joining the side walls and the front by spot welding (Figure 31.32). The top wall ( visor ) mechano type, is attached to the front wall through a cylindrical radius variation section (Figure 33 ) . While the top wall is joined to the side walls by two mecanos guns (Fig. 34,35).

The peak consists of anti-abrasive and high strength structural steel, the end section to the cylindrical section is attached by welding with intermittent slots (Figure 36 ) . It also has a plurality of slotted beams I and subject to the upper base thereof (Figure 37) wing board. At the edges of the visor two baffles of mechano anti- impact load (Figure 38.39 ) are used to avoid the falling rocks to the operator or mirrors. The edges of the visor are protected by a sheet of high strength structural steel, stiffened by gousset subject and to avoid spills on the operator's cab (Figure 40).
