Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a belt conveyor for material transport, belonging to the field of conveyor technology. Background Technology

[0002] Belt conveyors, as a widely used material handling device, are widely recognized for their advantages such as simple structure, convenient operation, and high efficiency. However, traditional belt conveyors cannot achieve mid-transportation discharge, which limits their application in situations requiring diversion or mid-transportation material supply. To address this issue, this invention proposes a belt conveyor with a notch and an intermediary device. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a belt conveyor for material transport, which can solve the problem that belt conveyors cannot discharge materials midway.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a belt conveyor for material transfer, wherein the conveyor has multiple notches in the middle for material discharge, and a discharge end and a feed end are respectively provided on both sides of the notches on the conveyor. An intermediary device is installed at the bottom of the discharge end, and the intermediary device can extend into the notch.

[0005] When the intermediary device extends into the notch, the intermediary device is arranged at an angle, with one end of the intermediary device located at the bottom of the discharge end and the other end extending above the inlet end. The intermediary device is equipped with a pushing device for pushing and conveying materials.

[0006] The intermediary device includes a slide plate slidably mounted on the bottom of the conveyor, a rotatable support frame mounted on the slide plate, a pushing device installed inside the support frame, and a linkage mechanism installed between the slide plate and the support frame. When the slide plate is sliding, one end of the support frame rotates on the slide plate.

[0007] Preferably, a rack is fixed to the bottom of the conveyor, one end of the support frame is rotatably mounted on the slide plate via a rotating shaft, a gear ring is fixed on the support frame, and a gear is rotatably mounted inside the slide plate, with the two sides of the gear meshing with the rack and the gear ring respectively.

[0008] Preferably, the support frame includes a base plate and two side plates, the number of toothed rings is two and the two toothed rings are respectively arranged inside the side plates, and the two ends of the gear extend to the two side plates and mesh with the two toothed rings.

[0009] Preferably, the conveyor includes a fixed frame, the rack is fixed to the fixed frame by a fixed plate, and the bottom of the slide plate and the bottom plate are both provided with clearance grooves, the rack extending into the interior of the clearance grooves.

[0010] Preferably, the pushing device includes two second drive shafts rotatably mounted inside the support frame, an inner support is provided between the two second drive shafts, the two sides of the inner support are fixed to the two side plates, a second conveyor belt is sleeved on the two second drive shafts, and a motor for driving any one of the second drive shafts to rotate is fixed on the support frame.

[0011] Preferably, the conveyor has a multi-section structure, each section including a first drive wheel at both ends, a first conveyor belt connecting the two first drive wheels, and a motor for driving the first drive wheels to rotate is installed on the conveyor.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the fixing frame is provided with a slide rail, the slide plate is slidably mounted on the slide rail, and a linear push rod is installed at the bottom of the fixing frame, the output end of the linear push rod being fixedly connected to the slide plate.

[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention involves creating a notch in the conveyor for material discharge. During the conveying process, the material can be discharged through the notch. An intermediary device is used to connect the inlet and outlet ends on both sides of the notch.

[0015] When no gap discharge is required and the material needs to continue to be conveyed on the conveyor, the intermediate device serves as a medium connecting the feed end and the discharge end. One end of the intermediate device is located at the bottom of the discharge end, and the other end extends above the opposite feed end. This ensures that when the material falls from the discharge end, it lands precisely on the intermediate device. The intermediate device then discharges the fallen material above the discharge end, thus completing the feeding function.

[0016] The intermediary device features a linkage mechanism between its internal support frame and sliding plate. As the sliding plate moves forward, the support frame tilts upward, enabling the front end of the pushing device to move obliquely upward, ultimately resulting in an upturned end. This design cleverly saves space occupied by the pushing device during movement, thus avoiding excessively wide gaps. This design improves space utilization. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention is illustrated below with specific embodiments, but these are not intended to limit the invention.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figures 1-8 As shown in this embodiment, a belt conveyor for material transport is provided, including a notch 12 in the middle of the conveyor for material discharge. The notch 12 on the conveyor is a discharge port, which can discharge material during the material transport process. The conveyor is provided with a discharge end 1 and a feed end 3 on both sides of the notch 12. An intermediate device 2 is installed at the bottom of the discharge end 1. The intermediate device 2 can extend into the notch 12. When the intermediate device 2 is provided with a discharge port, the conveyor has a two-section structure. The intermediate device 2 can transport material from one section of the conveyor to the adjacent section of the conveyor. Both sections of the conveyor include first drive wheels 10 at both ends. A first conveyor belt 9 is connected between the two first drive wheels 10. A motor that drives the first drive wheels 10 to rotate is installed on the conveyor.

[0029] When the intermediate device 2 extends into the notch 12, the intermediate device 2 is arranged at an angle, with one end of the intermediate device 2 located at the bottom of the discharge end 1 and the other end extending above the inlet end 3. A pushing device for pushing and conveying materials is installed on the intermediate device 2. The pushing device drives the material to move, and the material at the discharge end 1 will fall onto one end of the pushing device. The pushing device pushes the material to move obliquely upward along the length direction of the intermediate device 2 and discharges it from the discharge end 1 of the intermediate device 2, falling onto the inlet end 3 of the other section of the conveyor, thereby completing the material transfer between two adjacent sections of the conveyor. The pushing device includes two second drive shafts 205 rotatably installed inside the support frame 201. An inner support 203 is provided between the two second drive shafts 205. The two sides of the inner support 203 are fixed to the side plates on both sides. A second conveyor belt 202 is sleeved on the two second drive shafts 205. A motor for driving the rotation of any one of the second drive shafts 205 is fixed on the support frame 201. The motor drives the second drive shaft 205 to rotate, and the second conveyor belt 202 on the second drive shaft 205 will drive the material to be conveyed on the pushing device.

[0030] The intermediate device 2 includes a slide plate 6 slidably mounted on the bottom of the conveyor. A rotatable support frame 201 is mounted on the slide plate 6. The conveyor includes a fixed frame 11. The rack 5 is fixed to the fixed frame 11 by a fixed plate 7. A slide rail is provided at the bottom of the fixed frame 11. The slide plate 6 is slidably mounted on the slide rail. A linear push rod 4 is mounted at the bottom of the fixed frame 11. The output end of the linear push rod 4 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 6. The linear push rod 4 is mounted at the bottom of the fixed frame 11. As a driving component of the slide plate 6, the linear push rod 4 can push the slide plate 6 to slide at the bottom of the fixed frame 11. There are many types of linear push rods 4, which are existing technologies and are not the innovation of this invention. Therefore, this invention will not provide a specific explanation. It is sufficient that it can push the slide plate to move linearly, such as a hydraulic cylinder or other device.

[0031] The pushing device is installed inside the support frame 201. A linkage mechanism is installed between the slide plate 6 and the support frame 201. When the slide plate 6 slides, one end of the support frame 201 rotates on the slide plate 6. The slide plate 6 is always positioned at the bottom of the conveyor. Therefore, during the horizontal movement of the slide plate 6, one end of the support frame 201 is always lower than the discharge position of the conveyor. As long as one end of the support frame 201 does not slide into the corresponding notch 12, the material falling from the notch 12 will fall onto the pushing device inside the support frame 201. A rack 5 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed frame 11. The rack 5 is horizontally arranged at the bottom of the conveyor. One end of the support frame 201 is rotatably mounted on the slide plate 6 via a rotating shaft. A toothed ring 204 is fixed on the support frame 201. The internal rotating part is equipped with a gear 8, which meshes with a rack 5 and a gear ring 204 on both sides. The gear 8 links the sliding of the slide plate 6 and the rotation of the support frame 201. When the slide plate 6 slides, it drives the gear 8 to rotate. During the rotation of the gear 8, the support frame 201 is driven to rotate through the gear ring 204. The bottom of both the slide plate 6 and the bottom plate are provided with relief grooves. The rack 5 extends into the relief grooves. The support frame 201 includes a bottom plate and two side plates. There are two gear rings 204, and the two gear rings 204 are arranged on the inner side of the side plates. The two ends of the gear 8 extend to the two side plates and mesh with the two gear rings 204. The support frame 201 is provided with gear rings 204 on both sides. The gear rings 204 on both sides can support the support frame 201 and make the rotation of the support frame 201 more stable.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a method for creating multiple notches 12 on a conveyor to achieve the function of multiple discharge ports. The conveyor has a multi-section structure, each section including two first drive wheels 10 at both ends, and a first conveyor belt 9 connecting the two first drive wheels 10. A motor is installed on the conveyor to drive the first drive wheels 10 to rotate. The motor drives the first drive wheels 10 to rotate, and the first drive wheels 10 drive the first conveyor belt 9 to convey materials in the corresponding section of the conveyor. When the material is conveyed from the first conveyor belt 9 to the notch 12, it can fall down from the notch 12 to complete the discharge. Alternatively, the material can be conveyed to the first conveyor belt 9 of the next section by the intermediary device 2, thereby completing the material transfer between the two sections. This discharge method can be applied in multiple fields. For example, in the animal husbandry field, the notches 12 of this conveyor are set above the feeding troughs, and multiple notches 12 can feed multiple feeding troughs separately. This feeding method has the effect of improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0034] Working principle: When conveying materials, the materials are conveyed on the conveyor. When they move to the gap 12, if it is necessary to discharge the materials through the gap 12, the intermediary device 2 will not extend into the gap 12, and the materials will fall from the gap 12. If it is not necessary to discharge the materials through the gap 12, the intermediary device 2 will extend into the gap 12. The movement of the intermediary device 2 is from the bottom of the discharge end 1 to the top of the inlet end 3. At the same time, the pushing device inside the intermediary device 2 is activated. The pushing device receives the materials falling from the discharge end 1 and conveys the materials obliquely upward, discharging the materials above the inlet end 3. At this time, the materials will not be discharged from the corresponding gap 12, but will continue to be conveyed along the conveyor channel of the conveyor.

[0035] In this invention, the number of notches 12 can be set to multiple, multiple discharge ports are set during the material conveying process, and the movement trajectory of the intermediate device 2 is inclined upward at the front end. During operation, no manual operation is required, realizing automation, saving more labor costs, and improving work efficiency.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate and not limit the technical solutions of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Any modifications or partial substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
