[0023] As Figures 1-5 shown, the application provides a roller group with braking and driving functions. The application can realize the multiplication of driving force or braking force, reduce the pressure of main braking or driving device, avoid excessive tension of the conveyor belt during driving or braking, reduce production accidents and improve equipment life by using the application's roller group in multiple points along the line.

[0024] As Figure 4 shown, the roller group comprises a control system and a roller group body, wherein the roller group body comprises a roller frame 31 and an auxiliary roller group 32 arranged on the roller frame 31, and the auxiliary roller group 32 is arranged on the roller frame 31 by a connecting device 33.

[0025] As Figure 5The connecting device 33 of the application comprises a first connecting rod 331, a second connecting rod 332, a third connecting rod 333, a fourth connecting rod 334 and a fifth connecting rod 335. One end of the first connecting rod 331 is connected to the roller support 31, and the other end is hinged to the second connecting rod 332. One end of the second connecting rod 332 is hinged to the first connecting rod 331, and the other end is hinged to the third connecting rod 333. One end of the third connecting rod 333 is hinged to the second connecting rod 332, and the other end is hinged to the fourth connecting rod 334. One end of the fourth connecting rod 334 is connected to the roller support 31, and the other end is hinged to the third connecting rod 333. One end of the fifth connecting rod 335 is connected to the roller support 31 through an adjusting nut 336, and the other end is hinged to the second connecting rod 332 and the third connecting rod 333. The fifth connecting rod 335 is a screw rod, and the adjusting nut 336 is used to adjust the forward and backward movement of the fifth connecting rod 335. The clamping force between the upper auxiliary roller 321 and the lower auxiliary roller 322 is further adjusted.

[0026] In this embodiment, the auxiliary roller group 32 has two groups, which are arranged on both sides of the roller support 31 through the connecting device 33. Each group of auxiliary rollers 32 comprises an upper auxiliary roller 321 and a lower auxiliary roller 322. One end of the upper auxiliary roller 321 is connected to the end of the first connecting rod 331, and one end of the lower auxiliary roller 322 is connected to one end of the fourth connecting rod 334. The upper auxiliary roller 321 and the lower auxiliary roller 322 clamp the conveyor belt 4 during operation. The auxiliary roller group is electrically connected to the control system. According to the driving or braking requirements of the control system, the linear speed of the upper and lower auxiliary rollers is controlled to rotate in the same direction as the running direction of the conveyor belt or in the opposite direction. When the auxiliary braking function is realized, the upper and lower auxiliary rollers can also passively rotate with the conveyor belt. In this embodiment, the upper auxiliary roller 321 and the lower auxiliary roller 322 in the third roller 3 are electrically encapsulated rollers. When in use, the electrically encapsulated rollers and the conveyor belt 4 are in contact and generate friction, which can play the role of auxiliary driving or braking. By adjusting the relative movement of the adjusting nut 336 and the screw rod, the clamping force of the upper auxiliary roller 321 and the lower auxiliary roller 322 on the conveyor belt 4 can be controlled through the force transmission of the connecting rods in the connecting device 33. When the adjusting nut 336 is rotated clockwise, the clamping force increases, and when the adjusting nut 336 is rotated counterclockwise, the clamping force decreases. The connecting device 33 with the tightening function arranged on both sides of the third roller 3 not only can adjust the clamping force, but also can ensure the force balance of the conveyor belt 4.

[0027] In the present embodiment, the upper auxiliary idler 321 and the lower auxiliary idler 322 can be controlled to rotate forward or reverse by the control system. The clamping force of the upper auxiliary idler 321 and the lower auxiliary idler 322 on the conveyor belt 4 can be converted into friction force. When the linear speed direction of the upper and lower auxiliary idlers is opposite to the running direction of the conveyor belt, the friction force direction between the upper and lower auxiliary idlers and the conveyor belt is the same as the running direction of the conveyor belt, at this time the idler group has a driving function; when the linear speed direction of the upper and lower auxiliary idlers is consistent with the running direction of the conveyor belt, the friction force direction between the upper and lower auxiliary idlers and the conveyor belt is opposite to the running direction of the conveyor belt, at this time the idler group has a braking function. That is, by changing the rotation direction of the upper auxiliary idler 321 and the lower auxiliary idler 322 through the control system, the friction force direction of the upper auxiliary idler 321 and the lower auxiliary idler 322 on the conveyor belt 4 is changed, thereby achieving the function of auxiliary driving or braking. By continuously arranging multiple groups of third idler groups 3, the driving force or braking force can be multiplied.

[0028] In actual use, the conveyor can be arranged with multiple groups of third idler groups 3 at multiple points along the line, or can be arranged with multiple groups of third idler groups 3 at multiple points continuously, or can be arranged with first idler groups 1 or second idler groups 2 at intervals, or can be arranged with first idler groups 1 and second idler groups 2 continuously to form multiple groups of third idler groups 3 distributed at multiple points. The multi-point distributed auxiliary driving or braking function of the belt conveyor can be realized.

[0029] In the present embodiment, the belt conveyor can adopt a combination of idler groups, including first idler groups 1, second idler groups 2 and third idler groups 3, wherein the third idler groups 3 are the aforementioned idler groups, wherein the first idler groups 1 are provided with a groove angle α, the second idler groups 2 are provided with a groove angle β, and the third idler groups 3 are provided with a groove angle γ, wherein γ < β < α. The first idler groups 1 are used to bear the weight of the conveyor belt and the material. Figure 3The second roller group 2 is also provided with a baffle roller on both sides, so the second roller group 2 not only has the function of bearing the weight of the conveyor belt and the material, but also has the function of preventing the conveyor belt from deviating. In actual use, the first roller group 1, the second roller group 2 and the third roller group 3 are sequentially installed on the middle frame of the conveyor. The first roller group 1, the second roller group 2 and the third roller group 3 are one or more groups. That is, the first roller group 1, the second roller group 2 and the third roller group 3 are sequentially combined, and the groove angles of the first roller group 1, the second roller group 2 and the third roller group 3 gradually decrease, which can reduce the damage of the conveyor belt 4 and prolong the service life of the conveyor belt 4. In actual use, the above-mentioned roller group combination is arranged at multiple points along the belt conveyor, and the steering of the upper auxiliary roller 321 and the lower auxiliary roller 322 in the third roller group 3 is controlled according to the need of braking or driving, so as to achieve the purpose of auxiliary braking or auxiliary driving.

The first roller group 1 is provided with a groove angle α, the second roller group 2 is provided with a groove angle β, and the third roller group 3 is provided with a groove angle γ, wherein γ < β < α. The first roller group 1 is used to bear the weight of the conveyor belt and the material. Figure 3 The second roller group 2 is also provided with a baffle roller on both sides, so the second roller group 2 not only has the function of bearing the weight of the conveyor belt and the material, but also has the function of preventing the conveyor belt from deviating. In actual use, the first roller group 1, the second roller group 2 and the third roller group 3 are sequentially installed on the middle frame of the conveyor. The first roller group 1, the second roller group 2 and the third roller group 3 are one or more groups. That is, the first roller group 1, the second roller group 2 and the third roller group 3 are sequentially combined, and the groove angles of the first roller group 1, the second roller group 2 and the third roller group 3 gradually decrease, which can reduce the damage of the conveyor belt 4 and prolong the service life of the conveyor belt 4. In actual use, the above-mentioned roller group combination is arranged at multiple points along the belt conveyor, and the steering of the upper auxiliary roller 321 and the lower auxiliary roller 322 in the third roller group 3 is controlled according to the need of braking or driving, so as to achieve the purpose of auxiliary braking or auxiliary driving.
