[0027] Specifically, the belt taking device includes a belt taking clamping device and a clamping connecting rod 33, the clamping connecting rod 33 is installed on an adjusting groove 21 on the fixed plate 2, the adjusting groove 21 is a waist-shaped groove, and the belt taking clamping device is installed on the clamping connecting rod 33. The clamping connecting rod 33 and the adjusting groove 21 are used to adjust the position of the belt taking clamping device. The belt taking clamping device is provided with four, and the belt taking clamping device matches the shape of the taut belt 7 and is used to clamp the taut belt 7. The belt taking clamping device includes a pneumatic finger 31 and a clamping jaw 32, the pneumatic finger 31 is installed on the clamping connecting rod 33, and the clamping jaw 32 is symmetrically installed on the pneumatic finger 31 and is used to clamp the belt 7. The pneumatic finger 31 is used to drive the clamping jaw 32 to clamp the belt 7, and the structure is simple and convenient to control.

[0028] The pushing device includes a pushing plate 41, a telescopic rod 42 and a pushing cylinder 44, the pushing cylinder 44 is installed on the fixed plate 2, respectively, and the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 44 is connected with the pushing plate 41. The telescopic rod 42 is fixed on four corners of the pushing plate 41 and movably inserted into a linear bearing 43, and the linear bearing 43 is installed on the fixed plate 2. The pushing plate 41 is provided with a position-avoiding hole 411 matched with the belt sander 9. The pushing plate 41 is further provided with a clamping groove and a pushing groove 413, the clamping groove is a waist-shaped groove, and the clamping jaw 32 is movably inserted into the clamping groove.

[0029] The belt mounting device includes a spreading device and a tensioning device, both mounted on the fixed plate 2. Two spreading devices are symmetrically arranged, and one tensioning device is located below the spreading devices, with the spreading devices symmetrically positioned on either side above the tensioning devices. The tensioning device is used to tension the abrasive belt 7 onto the spreading device, ensuring that the tensioned abrasive belt 7 matches the shape of the taut abrasive belt 7 of the belt sander 9. The spreading device includes spreading rods 51 and a spreading base plate 52. The spreading base plate 52 is fixed to the fixed plate 2, and eight spreading rods 51 are fixed to the spreading base plate 52, forming an arc shape that matches the grinding wheel 92 on the belt sander 9. The tensioning device includes a tensioning wheel 61 and a tensioning spring. The tensioning wheel 61 is slidably mounted on the fixed plate 2 via a linear guide pair and moves vertically. One end of the tensioning spring is fixed to the fixed plate 2, and the other end is connected to the tensioning wheel 61, providing tension force. When loading the sanding belt 7 onto the belt loading device, first place the sanding belt 7 onto the two support rods 51, then pull the tension wheel 61 upwards, place the sanding belt 7 onto the tension wheel 61 again, and then release the tension wheel 61. The tension wheel 61 then tightens the sanding belt 7 under the action of the tension spring. The tension wheel 61 is also movably inserted into the push groove 413.

[0030] Multiple belt-loading devices can be used to install sanding belts for various purposes.

[0031] During work:

[0032] First, install the appropriate size sanding belt 7 onto the corresponding belt loading device.

At the end of the rod 51, the three grinding wheels 92 correspond one-to-one with the two belt mounting devices and the tensioning wheel 61. The diameter of the grinding wheels 92 of the belt sander 9 is the same as the diameter of the arc formed by the spreading rod 51. Then, the push cylinder 44 extends, and the piston rod of the push cylinder 44 drives the push plate 41 to move towards the belt sander 9. The push plate 41 pushes the sanding belt 7 to the grinding wheel 92 on the belt sander 9. Then, the tensioning device 91 of the belt sander 9 tensions the sanding belt 7, completing the replacement of the sanding belt 7.

[0034] When the belt sander 9 is working, the operator will put the new sanding belt 7 onto the belt loading device.

[0035] When the belt-removing device removes the sanding belt 7, the pneumatic finger 31 first releases the sanding belt 7, and then the piston rod of the push cylinder 44 drives the push plate 41 to move outward. The push plate 41 pushes the sanding belt 7 off the gripper 32, and the sanding belt 7 falls into the recycling tank 11 below the frame 1.
