Description

A novel mobile tensioning tower for belt conveyors Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of belt conveyors, and in particular to a novel mobile tensioning tower for belt conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] The tensioning device is an indispensable part of the belt conveyor, and the tensioning tower, as an important component of the tensioning device, mainly consists of the tensioning device, skid, pin, and tensioning tower. The tensioning force is generated by the gravity of the tensioning device, and the skid is pulled by the wire rope and pin, thereby keeping the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor at the appropriate tension.

[0003] Existing tension towers are typically fixed to the ground by pre-embedded bolts in poured concrete. This method of fixing inherently limits their mobility; once a project is completed, the tension tower remains idle and cannot be reused. Therefore, each project requires a separate tension tower, resulting in significant resource waste and increased overall project investment. In projects with soft soil, such as mines or power plants, where pre-embedded bolts are not feasible, traditional tension tower foundation fixing methods become difficult to implement, posing a major obstacle to the installation and operation of belt conveyors. Forcing the traditional method into operation may lead to unstable tension tower foundations, affecting the safe operation of the entire belt conveyor and increasing the risk of equipment failure and accidents.

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned related technologies, in order to solve the problems that existing tensioning towers cannot be flexibly transferred between different projects and cannot be reused, this application proposes a new type of movable tensioning tower. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to enable the new mobile tensioning tower to be flexibly transferred between different projects and reused, this application provides a new mobile tensioning tower for belt conveyors.

[0006] This application provides a novel mobile tensioning tower for belt conveyors, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A novel mobile tensioning tower for belt conveyors includes a tensioning tower, a skid, pins, and a tensioning device. The skid is placed on the ground, and the tensioning tower is fixedly installed on the top of the skid. Multiple pins are provided, and the tensioning device is detachably installed on the skid via multiple pins, with each tensioning device corresponding to one of the pins.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, convenient installation and movement can be achieved through the tensioning tower, skid, pin shaft and detachable tensioning device, and the new mobile tensioning tower can be flexibly transferred and reused in different projects.

[0009] Preferably, the skid has a symmetrical structure, and a plurality of the pins are evenly installed on the periphery of the skid.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the symmetrical structure of the skid allows the tensioning device to provide a balanced tensioning force to the tensioning tower through the pin shaft, which can prevent the tensioning tower from tilting or displacing due to uneven force.

[0011] Preferably, the tension tower includes multiple vertical plates, multiple inclined plates, and multiple horizontal plates installed perpendicular to the vertical plates. One end of each inclined plate is fixedly connected to the vertical plate, and the other end is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate. The multiple vertical plates, the multiple inclined plates, and the multiple horizontal plates are staggered to form a truss structure.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the truss structure formed by the interlaced connection of multiple vertical plates, multiple inclined plates and multiple horizontal plates enhances the strength and stability of the tension tower.

[0013] Preferably, the tensioning device includes a hinge seat, an adjusting assembly, an adjusting plate, a wire rope, a hinge plate, and a caisson body. One end of the hinge seat is fixedly connected to the end of the pin shaft away from the skid. The other end of the hinge seat is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting assembly. The other end of the adjusting assembly is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting plate. One end of the wire rope is fixedly installed on the other end of the adjusting plate. The other end of the wire rope is fixedly installed on one end of the hinge plate. The other end of the hinge plate is fixedly connected to the caisson body.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the tension force can be flexibly adjusted through the connection of the hinge seat, adjustment component, adjustment plate, wire rope, hinge plate and caisson body, thus improving the stability of the new mobile tensioning tower.

[0015] Preferably, the adjusting assembly includes a first hinge bolt, a second hinge bolt, and a spiral buckle. The end of the hinge seat away from the pin is fixedly connected to one end of the first hinge bolt, the other end of the first hinge bolt is fixedly connected to one end of the spiral buckle, the other end of the spiral buckle is fixedly connected to one end of the second hinge bolt, and the other end of the second hinge bolt is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the relative positions of the first and second hinge bolts with the spiral buckle can be adjusted by rotating the first and second hinge bolts respectively, thereby adjusting the position of the adjusting plate and further adjusting the tension of the wire rope.

[0017] Preferably, the adjustment plate has multiple holes, and one end of the wire rope is fixedly installed in any hole of the adjustment plate near the wire rope.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the tension of the wire rope can be flexibly adjusted to meet the stress requirements of the new mobile tensioning tower under different working conditions.

[0019] Preferably, the tensioning tower is welded to the skid.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the welding connection method ensures a stable connection between the tension tower and the skid.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] 1. The new mobile tensioning tower can be easily installed and moved through the tensioning tower, skid, pin, and detachable tensioning device, and can be flexibly transferred and reused between different projects;

[0023] 2. By rotating the first and second hinge bolts respectively, the relative positions of the first and second hinge bolts and the spiral buckle can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the adjusting plate and further adjusting the tension of the wire rope;

[0024] 3. The tension of the wire rope can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to the stress requirements of the new mobile tensioning tower under different working conditions. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to Figures 1-3.

[0030] This application discloses a novel mobile tensioning tower for belt conveyors.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a novel mobile tensioning tower for a belt conveyor includes a tensioning tower 1, a skid 2, pins 3, and a tensioning device 4. The skid 2 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure with a square side near the ground, and is placed horizontally on the ground. The tensioning tower 1 is placed vertically and welded to the top of the skid 2, and the skid 2 is used to support the vertical placement of the tensioning tower 1. Multiple pins 3 are provided, and the multiple pins 3 are fixed to the periphery of the skid 2 with bolts. In this embodiment, four pins 3 are provided, and the four pins 3 are symmetrically installed on the skid 2. The tensioning device 4 is detachably installed on the pins 3, and four tensioning devices 4 are provided corresponding to the pins 3. The tensioning device 4 is used to provide a stable tensioning force for the tensioning tower 1.

[0032] The new type of mobile tensioning tower is easy to install. It works in conjunction with the tensioning tower 1, skid 2, pin 3 and tensioning device 4, making it easy to install and disassemble. It can be flexibly transferred and reused between different projects.

[0033] The tension tower 1 includes multiple vertical plates 11, multiple inclined plates 12, and multiple horizontal plates 13 installed perpendicular to the vertical plates 11. The vertical plates 11 are placed vertically, and one end of the inclined plate 12 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate, and the other end is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 13. The multiple vertical plates 11, multiple inclined plates 12, and multiple horizontal plates 13 are connected in an alternating manner to form a truss structure. The inclined plates 12 evenly distribute the force acting on the tension tower 1 to the entire tension tower 1, thereby enhancing the stability of the tension tower 1.

[0034] Referring to Figure 3, the tensioning device 4 includes a hinge seat 41, an adjusting component 42, an adjusting plate 43, a wire rope 44, a hinge plate 45, and a caisson body 46. The end of the hinge seat 41 near the pin 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the pin 3 away from the skid 2. One end of the hinge seat 41 is fixedly connected to the end of the pin 3 away from the skid 2. The other end of the hinge seat 41 is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting component 42. The other end of the adjusting component 42 is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting plate 43. One end of the wire rope 44 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the adjusting plate 43. The other end of the wire rope 44 is rotatably mounted on one end of the hinge plate 45. The other end of the hinge plate 45 is fixedly connected to the caisson body 46.

[0035] The adjusting assembly 42 includes a first hinge bolt 421, a second hinge bolt 422, and a spiral buckle 423. The end of the hinge seat 41 furthest from the pin 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the first hinge bolt 421. The other end of the first hinge bolt 421 is fixedly connected to one end of the spiral buckle 423. The other end of the spiral buckle 423 is fixedly connected to one end of the second hinge bolt 422. The other end of the second hinge bolt 422 is fixedly connected to the end of the adjusting plate 43 closest to the second hinge bolt 422. By rotating the first hinge bolt 421 and the second hinge bolt 422, the relative positions of the first hinge bolt 421 and the second hinge bolt 422 with the spiral buckle 423 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the adjusting plate 43 and further adjusting the tension of the wire rope 44.

[0036] The adjusting plate 43 has a plurality of holes 431 evenly spaced. One end of the wire rope 44 is fixedly installed in any hole 431 of the adjusting plate 43. When it is necessary to change the tension of the wire rope 44, the wire rope 44 is fixed to a suitable hole 431 on the adjusting plate 43 to adapt to different tension requirements. The other end of the wire rope 44 is fixedly installed in one end of the hinge plate 45, and the other end of the hinge plate 45 is fixedly connected to the caisson body 46.

[0037] Referring to Figures 1 and 3, during installation, firstly, the skid 2 is welded to the tensioning tower 1. The welded tensioning tower 1 and skid 2 are then transported to the pre-planned installation location. The placement of the tensioning device 4 is determined around the skid 2, and the tensioning device 4 is connected using pins 3. Next, a hole is excavated at the designated location according to the design requirements. Then, the tensioning device 4 is placed into the excavated hole. The ground soil is then compacted through multiple tamping operations to ensure a stable and reliable tension force for the entire new mobile tensioning tower, ensuring that the new mobile tensioning tower will not shift or sway due to ground loosening during the operation of the belt conveyor.

[0038] During use, when one side of the tensioning tower 1 is subjected to tension, the tension received on that side is transmitted to the tensioning device 4 on the opposite side through the tensioning tower 1, the skid 2, and the pin 3. The tension is then transmitted sequentially to the hinge seat 41, the first hinge bolt 421, the spiral buckle 423, the second hinge bolt 422, the adjusting plate 43, the wire rope 44, and the hinge plate 45, and then to the caisson body 46. The caisson body 46 provides tension to the skid 2 to prevent the tensioning tower 1 from tilting or displacing excessively.

[0039] After the project was completed, the tensioning device 4 buried underground was excavated, and the connection between the tensioning device 4 and the tensioning tower 1, skid 2, and pin 3 was disassembled. Subsequently, using suitable hoisting equipment and transportation tools, the entire set of equipment, including the tensioning tower 1, skid 2, pin 3, and tensioning device 4, was moved to the installation site of another project, thus realizing the reuse of the equipment.

[0040] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: through the coordinated operation of the tensioning tower 1, skid 2, pin 3 and tensioning device 4, it is easy to install and disassemble, and the equipment can be flexibly transferred and reused between different projects.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
