Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a device and method for cleaning adhesive material on belt conveyors, and more particularly to a device and method for efficiently cleaning adhesive material on the lower belt of a belt conveyor, belonging to the technical field of belt adhesive material cleaning equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Belt conveyors are machines that use the endless motion of belts to transport materials. They offer advantages such as long transport distances, large transport capacity, low operating resistance, easy installation, low power consumption, and minimal wear. They are widely used in industry. In steel plants, belt conveyors are needed to transport large quantities of raw materials to the production workshops, ensuring smooth production processes. However, the materials transported by belt conveyors vary in properties; some materials have high moisture content, resulting in high viscosity. When transporting highly viscous materials, some inevitably adheres to the belt. If this adhered material is not cleaned promptly, it will remain on the belt. The increasing thickness of the material not only increases the load on the belt conveyor and reduces its carrying capacity, but also affects the belt's service life. Currently, cleaning the material adhering to belt conveyors is done using scrapers. Workers fix the scraper under the belt conveyor and scrape off the lower layer of belt through hard contact. This method not only severely wears down the belt and affects its service life, but also causes the scraper to shorten after wear, making it unable to effectively contact the belt for scraping in the later stages, thus affecting the scraping operation. Therefore, there is a need for a material removal device and method suitable for belt conveyors, which should be able to efficiently remove the material adhering to the belt, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the belt conveyor.

The hopper is mounted on the ground via a support and is located directly below the first, second, and third horizontal plates. The chute is mounted on the ground via a support, with one end of the chute located directly below the hopper outlet and the other end of the chute connected to the next process.
[0014] A method for cleaning sticky materials on belt conveyors includes the following steps:
[0015] Under normal conditions, the long air pipe is constantly supplied with high-pressure air, and the duckbill nozzle continuously blows air onto the lower belt. During operation, the lower belt will have slight vertical fluctuations. These fluctuations will cause the two clamping rollers to move synchronously, and the direction and amplitude of the fluctuations will be detected by the third infrared rangefinder. The first hydraulic cylinder will then be activated based on the magnitude of the lower belt's fluctuations, which will cause the duckbill nozzle to float synchronously. The first infrared rangefinder can determine the magnitude of the duckbill nozzle's fluctuations, thus ensuring that the duckbill nozzle maintains a constant distance from the lower belt, ensuring that the high-pressure airflow can fully blow air onto the lower belt.
[0016] Step 1: Due to the pressure of the pressure roller, the distance between the second infrared rangefinder and the lower belt directly above it is constant. In other words, the distance parameter detected by the second infrared rangefinder is constant under normal circumstances. Once the distance changes abruptly, it indicates that there is sticky material passing through. This means that there is sticky material on the lower belt directly above the second infrared rangefinder.
[0017] Step 2: The second hydraulic cylinder corresponding to the location of the second infrared rangefinder that detects abnormal distance is activated, pushing out the lifting cylinder. The scraper touches the lower belt to scrape off the material that has passed through. The presence of the spring ensures that the scraper touches the lower belt with appropriate force to avoid tearing the belt. After a period of time, the second hydraulic cylinder resets.
[0018] Step 3: The sticky material cleaned off by the high-pressure airflow and scraper falls into the hopper, then falls through the hopper's outlet onto the chute, and finally slides into the next process.
[0019] This invention positions the lower belt through a calibration section, ensuring that the duckbill nozzles in the purging section maintain a suitable distance from the lower belt, and ensuring that the high-pressure airflow can fully scour the lower belt. The inspection section checks the belt after passing through the purging section to see if the adhering material has been cleaned. If local adhering material is found to be uncleaned, the scraping section is activated to clean the adhering section in a targeted manner, minimizing wear on the belt. Finally, the cleaned-off adhering residue is transferred to the next process through the discharge section. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The steps are as follows:
[0038] Under normal conditions, the long air pipe 2 is constantly supplied with high-pressure air, and the duckbill nozzle 3 continuously blows the lower belt. During operation, the lower belt will have a slight vertical fluctuation. This fluctuation will cause the two clamping rollers 22 to move synchronously, and the direction and amplitude of the fluctuation will be detected by the third infrared rangefinder 21. Then, based on the magnitude of the fluctuation of the lower belt, the first hydraulic cylinder is controlled to move, and the duckbill nozzle 3 is controlled to float synchronously. The first infrared rangefinder can know the magnitude of the fluctuation of the duckbill nozzle 3, thereby ensuring that the duckbill nozzle 3 can maintain a constant distance from the lower belt, and ensuring that the high-pressure airflow can fully blow the lower belt.
[0039] Step 1: Due to the pressure of the pressure roller 14, the distance between the second infrared rangefinder 7 and the lower belt directly above it is constant. That is to say, the distance parameter detected by the second infrared rangefinder is constant under normal circumstances. Once the distance changes abruptly, it indicates that there is sticky material passing through. There is sticky material on the lower belt directly above the second infrared rangefinder.
[0040] Step 2: The second hydraulic cylinder 16 corresponding to the position of the second infrared rangefinder 7 that detects abnormal distance is activated, pushing out the lifting square cylinder 17. The scraper 18 touches the lower belt to scrape off the material that has passed through. The presence of the spring allows the scraper 18 to touch the lower belt with appropriate force to avoid tearing the belt. After a period of time, the second hydraulic cylinder 16 resets.
[0041] Step 3: The sticky material cleaned off by the high-pressure airflow and scraper 18 falls into the hopper 23, and then falls through the outlet of the hopper 23 onto the chute 24, and finally slides into the next process.

9. A method for cleaning adhesive residue from a belt conveyor according to any one of claims 1-8, characterized in that: Includes the following steps: Under normal conditions, the long air pipe (2) is constantly filled with high-pressure air, and the duckbill nozzle (3) continuously blows the lower belt. During the operation of the lower belt, its vertical position will fluctuate slightly. Its fluctuation will drive the two clamping rollers (22) to move synchronously, and then the direction and amplitude of its fluctuation will be detected by the third infrared rangefinder (21). Then, based on the size of the fluctuation of the lower belt, the first hydraulic cylinder is controlled to move, and the duckbill nozzle (3) is controlled to float synchronously. The first infrared rangefinder can know the size of the fluctuation of the duckbill nozzle (3), thereby ensuring that the duckbill nozzle (3) can maintain a constant distance from the lower belt, and ensuring that the high-pressure airflow can fully blow the lower belt. Step 1: Due to the pressure of the pressure roller (14), the distance between the second infrared rangefinder (7) and the lower belt directly above it is constant. That is to say, the distance parameter detected by the second infrared rangefinder is constant under normal circumstances. Once the distance changes abruptly, it indicates that there is sticky material passing through. There is sticky material on the lower belt directly above the second infrared rangefinder. Step 2: The second hydraulic cylinder (16) corresponding to the position of the second infrared rangefinder (7) that detects abnormal distance is activated, pushing out the lifting square cylinder (17). The scraper (18) touches the lower belt to scrape off the past sticky material. The presence of the spring allows the scraper (18) to touch the lower belt with appropriate force to avoid scratching the belt. After a period of time, the second hydraulic cylinder (16) resets. Step 3: The sticky material cleaned off by the high-pressure airflow and scraper (18) falls into the hopper (23), and then falls into the chute (24) through the outlet of the hopper (23), and finally slides into the next process.
