Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fan-shaped water surface garbage cleaning conveyor belt, specifically a fan-shaped water surface conveyor belt made of TPE material and with hooks for salvaging floating garbage on the water surface, belonging to the field of environmental sanitation supplies. Background Art

[0002] On the water surfaces of urban lakes, moats, etc., there are often floating garbage such as plastic bags, paper scraps, empty drinking bottles, etc., which cause water pollution and seriously affect the aesthetics. Sometimes they also emit odors in hot summers, affecting people's normal life. Currently, the cleaning of these water surface garbage mainly relies on manual salvage, with low efficiency and poor safety. Currently, some cities also use automated cleaning boats, usually with a garbage conveyor belt installed at the bow. However, this conveyor belt is affected by the width of the bow and is the same width from front to back, making it difficult to clean a larger area. There is an urgent need to develop a conveyor belt that is wider at the front and narrower at the back, with the narrow end being easy to connect to the hull and the wide end facing a wider water surface for easier collection of more garbage. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Aiming at the deficiency that the conveyor belt applied on garbage collection ships is of the same width from front to back, the present invention provides a fan-shaped water surface garbage cleaning conveyor belt that is wider at the front and narrower at the back.

[0004] The present invention is realized through the following technical solutions: A fan-shaped water surface garbage cleaning conveyor belt is composed of a support frame, a conveyor belt assembly, and a transmission system. The support frame is composed of a front shaft, longitudinal support rods, bearing bushes, a front mounting rod, a rear mounting rod, a rear shaft, and rotating wheels. The longitudinal support rods fixedly install the bearing bushes on the front shaft and the rear shaft using screws. The front mounting rod and the rear mounting rod are both installed on the longitudinal support rods using screws. The rotating wheels are evenly distributed on the front shaft and the rear shaft and are fixed using snap fasteners. The conveyor belt assembly is composed of a belt and hooks. The hooks are arranged in rows and evenly bonded to the belt. The transmission system is composed of a motor, a reducer, a coupling, a flexible shaft, a sprocket, and a chain. The motor is fixedly installed on the rear shaft. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the reducer. After decelerating and increasing torque through the reducer, the output shaft of the reducer is connected to one end of the flexible shaft through a coupling. The other end of the flexible shaft is fixedly installed in the shaft hole of the sprocket using a setscrew. The sprocket is installed at both ends of the rear shaft through bearings. The belt is fixedly connected to the chain using screws.

[0005] The belt is made of TPE material and can stretch and adapt when the sprockets on both sides connected by the belt form a fan shape at a certain angle.

[0006] The rotating wheel is composed of a rubber wheel, a self-aligning bearing, a shaft sleeve, and a snap fastener. The inner ring of the self-aligning bearing is connected to the shaft sleeve in an interference fit manner. The outer ring of the self-aligning bearing is connected to the inner ring of the rubber wheel in a clearance fit manner. Snap fasteners are installed on both sides of the self-aligning bearing to fix its position.

[0007] The outer surface of the described rubber wheel has evenly distributed small protrusions to increase the friction between the rubber wheel and the belt.

[0008] The described front axle and rear axle are both hollow and curved, and when installed, the bending centers of the front axle and the rear axle are the same point.

[0009] The two ends of the described front axle and rear axle are provided with grooves for installing bearings.

[0010] The described chain is a straight plate conveyor chain.

[0011] The advantages of this invention are as follows: This conveyor belt realizes the material transfer from a wide opening to a narrow opening. The belt is made of TPE - type material, which combines the advantages of rubber and plastic, and is easier to be stretched into a fan - shaped shape with a wider front and a narrower rear. This type of material has stable performance, good elasticity and elastic recovery shrinkage, and is non - toxic and odorless. The fan - shaped belt with a wider front and a narrower rear can collect more floating garbage on the water surface at the front end, improving the garbage collection efficiency. The narrow rear end of the belt is convenient for installation on the ship. The hooks on the belt are bonded to the belt. Due to the elasticity of the belt, it has an overload protection function when fishing for objects that are too large or heavy in volume, is not easily damaged, and can prevent the garbage from slipping on the conveyor belt. Since the belt is fan - shaped, ordinary rigid axles cannot support the fan - shaped belt. The flexible axle has very little rigidity, has elasticity, can be freely bent, can be applied to transmission components for non - linear transmission or transmission between non - coplanar planes, and is better suitable for the bending of the front axle and the rear axle. At the same time, the flexible axle is connected to the reducer through a coupling, which can simplify the transmission machinery and has high transmission accuracy. The self - aligning bearing mainly bears radial loads and can also bear axial loads, and can better handle error conditions when the belt deforms, and can operate smoothly even under severe jitter.
