[0017] Figure 1 、 2The automatic paint spraying tank is shown in Fig. 3, which comprises a tank body 61, an electromagnetic valve DC and a nozzle 62. A paint inlet pipe 63 is vertically installed in the middle of the tank body 62. The lower end of the paint inlet pipe 63 is spaced apart from the lower end of the tank body by a distance of 2 mm, and the upper end of the paint inlet pipe 63 is sealed outside the upper part of the tank body 61. The liquid inlet end of the electromagnetic valve DC is sealed and threadedly connected with the upper end of the paint inlet pipe 63. The pipe at the lower end of the nozzle 62 is threadedly connected with the liquid outlet end of the electromagnetic valve DC. The spray hole of the nozzle 62 is located at the upper part of the nozzle 62. Paint and high pressure compressed air are added into the tank body 61. The lower end of the tank body 61 of the automatic paint spraying tank is bolted to the support base 4. The force measuring sub-mechanism comprises a closed guide pipe 71 at the upper and lower ends, a spring 72, a guide rod 73 and a pressure resistor RT. The lower end of the rectangular guide pipe 71 is welded to the movable column of the electric push rod Ml. A guide hole is formed in the middle of the upper end of the guide pipe 71. The lower end of the pressure resistor RT is insulated and installed in the lower end of the guide pipe 71, and the force receiving surface thereof faces upward. The lower end of the guide rod 73 is welded to a rectangular limiting plate 74, which has an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the guide pipe. The lower end and the upper end of the guide rod 73 are movably sleeved in the lower end and the upper end of the guide pipe 71, respectively. The upper end of the guide rod 73 is located in the guide hole. The wire connected with the pressure resistor RT is led out through the hole at the lower right end of the guide pipe 71, and the hole is sealed with sealing glue. The outer diameter of the guide rod 73 is smaller than the inner diameter of the guide hole. The outer diameter of the limiting plate 74 is 0.2 mm smaller than the inner diameter of the guide pipe. The lower end of the spring 72 and the force receiving surface of the pressure resistor RT are in contact. The lower end of the limiting plate 74 and the upper end of the spring 72 are in contact. A small pulley 75 is rotatably installed at the upper end of the guide rod 73. The nozzle 62 is spaced apart from the lower end of the conveying belt 104 by a distance. When the movable column of the electric push rod Ml moves to the stop point, the upper end of the pulley 75 is in rolling contact with the outer side of the lower end of the conveying belt 104. When the movable column of the electric push rod Ml moves to the stop point, the upper end of the pulley 75 is spaced apart from the outer side of the lower end of the conveying belt 104 by a distance.
[0018] Figure 1 、 2As shown in FIG. 3, the power input terminals 1 and 2 of the power supply module A1 are connected to two poles of an AC 220V power supply through wires, and the power output terminals 3 and 4 of the power supply module A1 are connected to the power input terminals 1 and 2 of the time control switch A2 of the time control circuit through wires. The other end of the adjustable resistor RP of the power input terminal of the detection circuit, the emitter of the NPN triode Q1, and the power output terminals 3 and 4 of the time control switch A2 are connected through wires. The power output terminals of the time control switches A3 and A4 are connected to the positive and negative power input terminals of the electric linear slide M through wires, and the power output terminals of the time control switches A5 and A6 are connected to the positive and negative power input terminals of the electric push rod M1 through wires. The normally open contact terminals of the relay K1, the emitter of the NPN triode Q1, and the power input terminals of the electromagnetic valve DC of the automatic paint spraying tank are connected through wires, and the one end of the adjustable resistor RP of the signal input terminal of the detection circuit, the emitter of the NPN triode Q1, and the two connection terminals of the pressure resistor RT are connected through wires.
[0019] Figure 1 、 2, 3, the other use process and working principle of the belt type electric conveying line body 1 and the existing belt type electric conveying line are completely consistent, the material is conveyed from the previous station to the next station through the continuously moving conveying belt 104. After the 220V power supply enters the power input end of the power supply module A1, the power output end will output 12V DC power supply for the time control circuit. After the time control circuit of the application is powered on, the time control switch A2 will output 10 minutes (the time can be adjusted according to the needs, and the time can also be indefinite, such as 3 minutes for the first time, 2 minutes for the second time, 4 minutes for the third time, and so on) power to the detection circuit and the power input end of the time control switches A3, A4, A5 and A6 every 5 hours. Therefore, the detection circuit and the time control switches A3, A4, A5 and A6 will be powered on for 10 minutes every few hours (the time can be adjusted according to the needs), and this time period is used for detecting the quality of the conveying belt. After the time control switches A3 and A4 are powered on, they will output 7 seconds of power to the positive and negative poles of the electric linear slide M every 2 seconds. After the positive and negative poles of the electric linear slide M are powered on, the sliding block drives the force measuring mechanism and moves from left to right to the stop point. After the negative and positive poles of the electric linear slide M are powered on, the sliding block drives the force measuring mechanism and moves from right to left to the stop point. In this way, the force measuring mechanism will continuously move back and forth in the 10-minute time period to detect whether the conveying belt 104 has quality problems. After the time control switch A5 is powered on, it will output 3 seconds of power to the positive and negative poles of the electric push rod M1. The movable column of the electric push rod M1 drives the force measuring mechanism to move from bottom to top to the stop point, and the upper end of the pulley 75 just contacts the lower end of the conveying belt 104, which is ready for quality detection. After the time control switch A6 is powered on, it will output 3 seconds of power to the negative and positive poles of the electric push rod M1 every 9 minutes and 57 seconds. The movable column of the electric push rod M1 drives the force measuring mechanism to move from top to bottom to the stop point, and returns to the initial state for the next detection (the upper end of the pulley 75 and the lower end of the conveying belt 104 are separated).
[0020] Figure 1 、 2As shown in Figure 3, when the pulley 75 (with a diameter of only 3.5 mm) is driven to move left or right by the sliding block of the electric linear slide M, its upper end will rotate along the lower end of the conveyor belt. When there are no cracks, holes, or surface tears in the area of the lower end of the conveyor belt 104 that the upper end of the pulley 75 passes laterally (after the upper side rotates to the lower part, it is located on the lower side of the lower end), the distance between the lower end of the conveyor belt 104 and the upper outer side of the guide tube 71 is relatively small. In this way, the guide rod 73 travels a relatively large distance down the guide tube through the limiting plate 74, compressing the spring 72 relatively tightly. The force acting on the pressure resistor RT is relatively large, resulting in a relatively small resistance value for RT and a small voltage drop between it and the adjustable resistor RP. The power output from power supply module A1 is divided by the pressure resistor RT and the adjustable resistor RP. Resistor R1 limits the current and reduces the voltage to the base of NPN transistor Q1, which is lower than its starting voltage. NPN transistor Q1 does not conduct, and relay K1 cannot be energized. Its control power input terminal and normally open contact terminal are open, so the solenoid valve DC and the buzzer B will not be energized, indicating that there is no quality problem at the conveyor belt detection point. When cracks, holes, or surface tears occur in the area of the lower end of the conveyor belt 104 that the upper end of the pulley 75 crosses laterally, the distance between the upper end of the pulley contacting the lower side of the lower end of the conveyor belt 104 and the upper outer side of the guide tube 71 is relatively large. Therefore, under the upward force of the spring 72, the guide rod 73 moves upward along the guide tube through the limiting plate 74, and the spring 72 is compressed relatively loosely, resulting in a relatively small force acting on the pressure resistor RT. Consequently, the resistance value of the pressure resistor RT is relatively large, and the voltage drop between it and the adjustable resistor RP is large, causing the power supply module A1 to output... The power supply is divided by the pressure resistor RT and the adjustable resistor RP. Resistor R1 limits the current and reduces the voltage, which is higher than the base voltage of NPN transistor Q1. NPN transistor Q1 conducts, and its collector outputs a low level, which enters the negative power input terminal of relay K1. Relay K1 is energized and its control power input terminal and normally open contact terminal close. Solenoid valve DC and alarm B are energized. Alarm B's audible sound indicates a quality problem at the conveyor belt inspection point. Upon hearing the sound, staff can promptly shut off the main power supply to the belt-driven electric conveyor for maintenance. When solenoid valve DC is energized, its valve core opens, allowing liquid paint in tank 61 to enter through the lower end of the paint inlet pipe under pressure. The paint is then sprayed from the nozzle 62 near the quality problem area on the conveyor belt, providing an indication for subsequent maintenance personnel to quickly locate the problem and speeding up repairs. After the quality problem point and the upper end of the pulley are separated, the resistance value of the pressure resistor RT becomes relatively small again, so the relay K1 will lose power again, and the entire mechanism and circuit will return to the initial state, ready for the next use (the solenoid valve DC will also lose power and close). Figure 3In the embodiment, resistance R1 is 8K; buzzer B is FM-12V buzzer; adjustable resistance RP is 200K (in this embodiment, RP is adjusted to 1.23K, when the resistance of adjustable resistance RP is adjusted to be large, the voltage signal output by pressure resistance RT is relatively large, and then the NPN triode Q1 is turned on, and the mass problem detection threshold of the upper end of the pulley to detect the lower end of the conveying belt is small; when the resistance of adjustable resistance RP is adjusted to be small, the voltage signal output by pressure resistance RT is relatively small, and then the NPN triode Q1 is turned on, and the mass problem detection threshold of the upper end of the pulley to detect the lower end of the conveying belt is large); the type of NPN triode Q1 is 8050; relay K1 is a DC12V relay; power supply module A1 is an AC220V to DC12V power supply module product; pressure resistance RT is a BX120-3AA resistance strain gauge; time control switches A2, A3, A4, A5 and A6 are cycle timer switch products produced by D&C / Shangde, a switch manufacturing company, Delexi Switch Co., Ltd.
