Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building concrete production technology, specifically an automatic scraping and ash removal device for a mixing plant corridor. Background Technology

[0002] In concrete mixing plants, the conveyor belt corridors are typically truss-type fully enclosed corridors. The total length of the corridor in the material yard can reach 300m and is arranged at an incline. The bottom of the corridor is fixed with supports, with a support spacing of 20-30m. If there is a road or if it is impossible to set up supports, the span needs to be increased. Traditionally, fixed scrapers are used to scrape the conveyor belt in the fully enclosed corridor. Traditional fully enclosed corridors do not have a self-cleaning function. During the scraping process, particles and dust are generated. If these particles and dust are not cleaned, dust will accumulate inside the corridor, reducing the space. Over time, this accumulation will cause wear and even cause the conveyor belt to jam. Therefore, it is necessary to manually enter the corridor regularly for cleaning. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems, thereby providing an automatic scraping and ash removal device in the corridor of a mixing plant that does not require regular manual cleaning.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the aforementioned problem is as follows:

[0005] An automatic scraping and dust removal device for a mixing plant corridor includes a box body parallel to the bottom surface of the corridor cavity and the bottom belt of the conveyor belt. Semi-arc plates extend outward from both sides of the front and back of the box body. A support rod is provided between the semi-arc plates and the bottom surface of the corridor cavity. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected between two opposing semi-arc plates. A first gear is mounted on the rotating shaft, and a toothed belt is mounted on both first gears. A scraper is provided on the outer surface of the toothed belt. A dust collection mechanism and a drive structure connected to the first gear are provided inside the box body. A dust baffle is provided on the bottom surface of the corridor cavity, on the side of the toothed belt near the material loading end of the corridor. A dust discharge port is opened on the bottom surface of the corridor cavity, between the dust baffle and the toothed belt. A dust collection box is provided at the bottom of the corridor, below the dust discharge port, and is connected to the dust collection mechanism.

[0006] The present invention, which adopts the above technical solution, has the following prominent features compared with the prior art:

[0007] The drive mechanism rotates the toothed belt, causing the scraper on the toothed belt to scrape material off the bottom belt of the conveyor belt. Part of the scraped material is collected by the dust collection mechanism and placed in the dust collection box. The part that cannot be collected is blocked by the baffle plate and falls into the dust inlet and then into the dust collection box. This device can scrape material off the bottom belt of the conveyor belt and collect the scraped material, combining dust collection and scraping. This increases the usable space inside the fully enclosed corridor and avoids damage to the conveyor belt.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, a further technical solution of the present invention is:

[0009] A partition plate is provided in the box body on the side near the discharge end of the corridor. The partition plate divides the box body into a drive chamber and a dust collection chamber. A first motor is provided in the drive chamber. A first pulley is mounted on the output end of the first motor. A second pulley is mounted on the shaft on the side near the discharge end of the corridor. An opening is provided on the side of the box body near the second pulley. A belt is mounted on both the first pulley and the second pulley.

[0010] Fixed seats are provided on the front and back of the dust collection chamber. A first connecting shaft is movably passed through each fixed seat. One end of the first connecting shaft passes through the partition plate, extends into the drive chamber, and is connected to a second motor. A first bevel gear is fitted on the first connecting shaft on both sides of the fixed seat. A second connecting shaft parallel to the first connecting shaft passes through the fixed seat. A collar is provided at both ends of the second connecting shaft. A third connecting shaft is movably passed through the collar. A second bevel gear meshing with the first bevel gear is provided at one end of the third connecting shaft. A fan is provided at the other end of the third connecting shaft. An air baffle is provided between the two rows of fans on the front and back. One end of the air baffle abuts against the partition plate. Dust inlet holes are provided on the front and back of the box body, opposite to the fans. A blower and a dust removal pipe are respectively provided on the front and back of the drive chamber, near the material feeding end of the corridor. The dust removal pipe passes through the box body and the corridor and is connected to the side wall of the dust collection box.

[0011] The dust collection box is set parallel to the corridor. A dust outlet is opened on the bottom surface of the dust collection box and on the side near the material feeding end of the corridor. A dust discharge pipe is set at the bottom of the dust outlet. A bracket is set inside the dust collection box. A third motor is set on the bracket.
