Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a belt speed adjustment system and method for a belt conveyor based on material flow data. It involves a system and method that adjusts the belt speed of the conveyor belt by collecting and monitoring the material flow data of the conveyor to ensure stable material flow. It belongs to the field of conveyor technology and specifically relates to a material weighing device that can support and guide the conveyor belt when transporting bulk materials, so that it passes smoothly and prevents it from sagging, deforming, and accumulating materials, which would affect the accuracy of material flow monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] Belt conveyors are indispensable and economical logistics conveying equipment for forming rhythmic assembly lines. To monitor the material flow rate on the conveyor belt, belt scales are generally used to continuously weigh the bulk materials on the conveyor belt. The weighing bridge of the belt scale is installed on the conveyor frame. When material passes by, the weighing roller detects the weight of the material on the belt and acts on the weighing sensor through a lever, generating a voltage signal proportional to the belt load. A weighing sensor is mounted on the weighing bridge of the belt scale. During operation, the detected weight of the material on the belt is sent to the weighing instrument. Simultaneously, the speed signal of the belt conveyor from the speed sensor is also sent to the weighing instrument. The instrument integrates the speed signal and the weighing signal to obtain the instantaneous material flow rate. However, belt scales generally only measure and monitor the material flow rate; subsequent data analysis based on the material flow rate is not supported. The change in material flow rate affects the conveyor belt speed. When the material flow rate on the conveyor belt increases, if the original low material flow rate is maintained, the material accumulated at higher points on the conveyor belt is likely to fall off, especially when the conveyor belt turns. This causes unstable transport and results in a larger amount of material being transported to the next process, which may lead to delays in processing. Conversely, when the material flow rate on the conveyor belt decreases and the operating speed is low, subsequent processes may not be able to obtain processed materials in time. At the same time, due to the relatively large gap between the metering idlers—generally 0.8-1.5 meters—the conveyor belt is prone to sagging and deformation under the influence of material gravity, especially when the conveyor belt tension is insufficient. This causes material to accumulate between the metering idlers, hindering the normal operation of the conveyor belt and affecting the accuracy of material flow rate monitoring.

[0003] Publication number CN217687434U discloses an electronic belt scale with an adjustable frame, including a base, a frame mounted on the top of the base, a weighing sensor mounted on the top of the frame, and mounting plates fixed on both sides of the frame. This belt scale can only measure and monitor the material flow rate, but does not adjust the conveyor belt speed according to changes in the material flow rate to ensure stable material transportation. At the same time, due to the large gap between the metering idlers, the conveyor belt is prone to sagging and deformation under the weight of the material, causing material to accumulate at this point and hindering the normal operation of the conveyor belt, thus affecting the accuracy of material flow rate monitoring.

[0004] Publication number CN217637595U discloses a high-precision belt scale, belonging to the technical field of high-precision belt scales. It includes a high-precision belt scale body and a mounting frame for installing the high-precision belt scale body. A cleaning collection box and a cleaning collection cover are provided below the high-precision belt scale body. This belt scale does not adjust the conveyor belt speed according to changes in material flow to ensure stable material transportation. At the same time, due to the large gap between the metering idlers, the conveyor belt is prone to sagging and deformation under the action of material gravity, causing material to accumulate at this point and hindering the normal operation of the conveyor belt, thereby affecting the accuracy of material flow monitoring. Summary of the Invention

[0032] This invention also relates to a method for adjusting the belt speed of a belt conveyor based on material flow data, comprising the following steps:

[0033] 1) The belt speed is adjusted using a belt speed adjustment system based on material flow data.

[0036] 4) When the instantaneous material flow rate is less than the set threshold, the data processor sends an adjustment signal to the controller. After receiving the adjustment signal, the controller controls the drive motor to increase its speed, thereby speeding up the conveyor belt and ensuring that the conveyor belt transports enough material to the next process.

[0037] 5) When the instantaneous material flow rate exceeds the set threshold, the data processor sends an adjustment signal to the controller. After receiving the adjustment signal, the controller controls the drive motor to reduce its speed, thereby slowing down the conveyor belt's conveying speed to ensure that the conveyor belt delivers the appropriate amount of material to the next process, making the material conveying more stable.

[0072] This invention also relates to a method for adjusting the belt speed of a belt conveyor based on material flow data, comprising the following steps:

[0073] 1) The belt speed is adjusted by using the belt speed adjustment system based on material flow data. When the belt conveyor carries the material through the material weighing device, the conveyor belt passes smoothly under the guidance of the main idler (2) and the auxiliary idler (3). At the same time, the material gravity applies pressure to the idler bracket (1) and the weighing plate (6). The pressure is then collected by the weight collection platform (12) and the weight collection block (11), so that the weighing sensor (10) continuously collects the material gravity signal on the conveyor belt and sends the collected gravity signal to the data processor.

[0074] 2) At the same time, the speed sensor on the drive roller continuously collects the conveying speed signal of the conveyor belt and sends the collected speed signal to the data processor;

[0075] Preferably, the speed sensor directly converts the rotational speed signal into a linear speed signal.

[0077] Preferably, the set threshold is set according to the target material conveying flow rate.

[0078] 4) When the instantaneous material flow rate is less than the set threshold, the data processor sends an adjustment signal to the controller. After receiving the adjustment signal, the controller controls the drive motor to increase its speed, thereby speeding up the conveyor belt and ensuring that the conveyor belt transports enough material to the next process.

[0079] 5) When the instantaneous material flow rate exceeds the set threshold, the data processor sends an adjustment signal to the controller. After receiving the adjustment signal, the controller controls the drive motor to reduce its speed, thereby slowing down the conveyor belt's conveying speed to ensure that the conveyor belt delivers the appropriate amount of material to the next process, making the material conveying more stable.

[0080] Preferably, the conveyor belt speed is adjusted in real time according to changes in material flow rate;

[0081] There are two telescopic supports (7), which are designed to be close to both ends of the weighing plate (6). This design can provide stable support for the weighing plate (6) and can also expand and contract according to changes in the load on the weighing plate, thus avoiding compression, deformation and damage.

[0082] The weighing plate (6) has clearance slots on both sides. The clearance slots are located in the middle of the weighing plate (6). The clearance slots are designed as isosceles trapezoids, which can reduce the weight of the weighing plate (6), reduce the weighing base, and increase the accuracy of material weighing.

[0083] The weighing platform (12) is located below the weighing plate (6). The weighing platform (12) has a hollow structure. The cross-section of the weighing platform (12) gradually decreases from one side connected to the weighing plate (6) to the other side. This design can reduce the weight while better collecting the weight of the material and improving the weighing accuracy.

[0084] The weight collection block (11) is located below the weight collection platform (12). The width of the longitudinal section of the weight collection block (11) gradually decreases from one end to seven-eighths of the way down and remains constant from seven-eighths of the way down to the other end. This design allows the weight of the material to be collected, which is convenient for the weighing sensor (10) to collect data.

[0085] The design of the rubber pad (8) and the fixing groove (9) can hold the weight block (11) in the groove to squeeze the weighing sensor (10) for pressure data collection, and prevent the weight block (11) from being placed directly on the weighing sensor (10) and being squeezed hard.

[0086] The buffer spring (5) is located above the weighing plate (6). The two sets of buffer springs (5) are close to both ends of the weighing plate (6). The five buffer springs (5) in the same set are arranged in an X-shape on the weighing plate (6), which can support the roller bracket (1) more stably and buffer the material when it passes through, so that the monitoring value of the weighing sensor (10) is more stable.

[0087] The side plate of the idler bracket (1) is designed with an arc structure, which enables multiple main idlers (2) to cooperate with auxiliary idlers (3) to form a gentle curve to support and guide the conveyor belt, so that it passes smoothly and prevents it from falling and deforming. Material accumulation hinders the normal operation of the conveyor belt and affects the accuracy of material flow monitoring.

[0088] The three main idler rollers (2) in the same group are distributed at equal intervals along the edge of the side plate of the idler roller bracket (1). The main idler rollers (2) are cylindrical structures. The design of the main idler rollers (2) gradually increasing in diameter from the middle to both ends can avoid the conveyor belt, so that the conveyor belt can hold the material for conveying and prevent the material from falling off the conveyor belt.

[0089] The main idler (2) and the auxiliary idler (3) can support and guide the conveyor belt, so that it passes smoothly and prevents it from falling, deforming, and accumulating materials, which would affect the accuracy of material flow monitoring.

[0090] The material weighing device can continuously measure the material flow rate and control the speed of the drive motor to adjust the belt speed according to the material flow rate change, so as to ensure the stable material conveying. At the same time, the main idler (2) and the auxiliary idler (3) in the material weighing device can support and guide the conveyor belt, so that it passes smoothly and prevents it from falling, deforming, and accumulating materials, which would affect the accuracy of material flow rate monitoring.
