Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of belt conveyor return material recycling technology, and in particular to a belt conveyor return material recycling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of material handling, belt conveyors are widely used as core conveying equipment in various industrial production scenarios. However, during actual operation, material adheres to the surface of the conveyor belt's cover layer. Then, when the upper cover layer moves to the lower cover layer, due to material adhesion, equipment vibration, or impact, the material falls onto the frame platform and the material accumulation area above the branch funnel due to gravity. Simultaneously, material around the funnel feeding system falls onto the dock, causing pollution to the equipment and dock, and increasing the workload of cleanup. To reduce the workload of cleaning up spilled material and to take effective measures to recover the spilled material, a feasibility study was conducted on a material recovery device around the belt conveyor and large funnel.

[0003] To address the aforementioned material spillage problem, existing technology has improved the process by laying a cloth under the conveyor belt to catch the material spilled during transport. While this arrangement can collect spilled material, it makes cleaning the space under the conveyor belt difficult, and it is also difficult to shovel the cleaned material back onto the conveyor belt, which is not conducive to material recycling. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to recover materials spilled from belt conveyors, this application provides a belt conveyor return material recovery device.

[0005] The belt conveyor return material recycling device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A conveyor belt return material recycling device includes a conveyor located below the conveyor belt along its length.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the material adhering to the lower cover layer of the belt conveyor during the belt conveyor transportation process will fall onto the conveyor due to mechanical vibration and gravity. The conveyor will transport the fallen material to the cleaning mechanism, and the material cleaned by the cleaning mechanism will finally fall to the receiving mechanism, forming a recycling system. This design can effectively collect the material spilled during the operation of the belt conveyor, avoid the material from scattering on the ground, frame platform and the top of the branch funnel, causing pollution and waste, reduce material spillage and prevent material from spilling onto the platform frame, not affect material conveying, reduce the amount of cleaning work and facilitate material recycling.

[0007] Optionally, the conveyor includes a mounting frame, a conveyor belt, and a fixing frame. The mounting frame is fixedly connected to the belt conveyor, and the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the belt conveyor. The mounting frame is provided with a first rotating roller, and the fixing frame is provided with a second rotating roller.

Compared with gear transmission, chain transmission reduces the space occupied.

[0013] Optionally, the conveyor belt material includes PVC / rubber / fiber cloth.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solutions, and selecting the appropriate conveyor belt material according to the material characteristics, the conveying effect and service life can be ensured.

[0015] Optionally, the cleaning mechanism includes a brush roller and a second motor, the second motor being mounted on the fixed frame and connected to the brush roller, the brush roller being in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the brush roller can effectively remove the material adhering to the conveyor belt, keep the conveyor belt clean, and prevent the material adhering to the conveyor belt from falling directly onto the frame platform when it moves to the lower cover layer. The original cleaning mechanism is a scraper. Compared with the scraper, the brush roller has a better cleaning effect, is less likely to wear the conveyor belt, and the brush roller can be set to be the same width as the conveyor belt, while the original scraper can only be shorter than the width of the conveyor belt.

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.

[0035] This application discloses a conveyor belt return material recycling device.

[0036] like Figure 1 The conveyor return and recovery device is located below the main conveyor belt 2 of the gantry crane. The conveyor return and recovery device includes the conveyor 2, which is arranged along the length of the conveyor 1. The conveyor 1 is closer to the bifurcation hopper 7 than the conveyor 2. The conveyor 2 is closer to the edge of the frame 8 at the end away from the bifurcation hopper 7 than the conveyor 1. In this embodiment, the conveyor 2 runs in the opposite direction to the conveyor 1. A cleaning mechanism 3 is arranged below the end of the conveyor 2 away from the bifurcation hopper 7. A receiving mechanism 4 is installed on the frame 8. The receiving mechanism 4 is located below the cleaning mechanism 3. The cleaning mechanism 3 is used to scrape off the material on the conveyor 2, and the receiving mechanism 4 is used to receive the material scraped off by the cleaning mechanism 3 and the material spilled from the grab bucket.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3The conveyor 2 includes a mounting frame 21, a conveyor belt 23, and a fixed frame 22. The mounting frame 21 and the fixed frame 22 are both supported on the frame 8 with a bucket gate. The mounting frame 21 and the fixed frame 22 are both fixed to the belt conveyor 1. Two first movable seats 26 are slidably connected to the mounting frame 21. The two first movable seats 26 are rotatably connected to a first rotating roller 24. A first screw 25 is slidably connected to the first movable seat 26. The first screw 25 is threadedly connected to the mounting frame 21. The first screw 25 is set along the length direction of the conveyor 2. like Figure 2 and Figure 4 A second rotating roller 27 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 22. A conveyor belt 23 is wound around the first rotating roller 24 and the second rotating roller 27. Two sets of staggered idler rollers 6 are fixed on the belt conveyor 1. One set of idler rollers 6 is located above the other set of idler rollers 6. The two sets of idler rollers 6 are respectively supported at the bottom of the upper and lower cover layers of the conveyor belt 23 to maintain the operation of the conveyor belt 23. In this embodiment, the conveyor belt 23 is made of PVC material. In other embodiments, the conveyor belt 23 can also be made of rubber or fiber cloth.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mounting frame 21 is equipped with a drive assembly 5, which is used to drive the first rotating roller 24 to rotate. The drive assembly 5 includes a first motor 51. A motor base 54 is welded on the mounting frame 21. The first motor 51 is mounted on the motor base 54. A baffle plate 52 is provided above the first motor 51 to prevent material from spilling into the first motor 51 and affecting its operation. The first motor 51 controls the first rotating roller 24 through a chain 53.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 Tensioning frames 34 are bolted to both sides of the fixed frame 22. A cleaning mechanism 3 is connected to the tensioning frame 34. The cleaning mechanism 3 is located at the bottom of the second rotating roller 27. The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a brush roller 31. The tensioning frames 34 on both sides are slidably connected to second moving seats 35. The two second moving seats 35 are rotatably connected to the brush roller 31. A second screw 33 is threaded to the tensioning frame 34. The second screw 33 is rotatably connected to the second moving seat 35. Adjusting the second screw 33 makes the brush roller 31 fit tightly against the conveyor belt 23. An extension plate is welded to one side of the fixed frame 22. A second motor 32 is set on the extension plate. The second motor 32 is connected to the brush roller 31. In this embodiment, the second motor 32 is a variable frequency motor with high, medium and low speed adjustment. It can adjust the rotation speed of the brush roller 31 in accordance with the running speed of the conveyor belt 23 and the amount of material flow.

[0040] like Figure 6The receiving mechanism 4 includes a receiving canvas 41 and a control component 45. A mounting support 42 is provided on the frame 8 of the bucket conveyor. The mounting support 42 is connected to the receiving canvas 41. A support rod 44 is connected to the side of the receiving canvas 41 away from the mounting support 42. The support rod 44 is connected to the control component 45. The control component 45 is fixed on the frame 8 and located below the conveyor belt 23. The control component 45 is used to control the lifting and lowering of the support rod 44 to stabilize the receiving canvas 41. The width of the receiving canvas 41 is greater than the width of the conveyor belt 23, so that it can catch the material spilled by the belt conveyor 1. In other embodiments, the support rod 44 can also be replaced by a buckle or a support seat.

[0041] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 The control component 45 includes a winch 451, which is fixed on the frame 8. The winch 451 is connected to two steel wires 454. A roller 452 is provided below the winch 451 and is fixed on the frame 8. Guide wheels 453 are symmetrically arranged on the roller 452 about the belt conveyor 1 and are fixed on the frame 8. One of the steel wires 454 passes through the winch 451, the roller 452 and the guide wheel 453 in sequence and is connected to one end of the support rod 44. The other steel wire 454 is directly connected to the other end of the support rod 44. When winding, the two steel wires 454 simultaneously pull the receiving canvas 41 upward.

[0042] like Figure 6 A receiving plate 43 is connected to the mounting bracket 42. The receiving plate 43 is located below the grab bucket machine. The receiving plate 43 is connected to the receiving canvas 41 through the mounting bracket 42. The receiving plate 43 is set at an angle. The receiving plate 43 catches the material spilled when the grab bucket machine grabs the material. In other embodiments, the receiving plate 43 can be replaced by the receiving canvas 41. The side of the receiving canvas 41 away from the mounting bracket 42 is connected to a steel wire rope and fixed to the frame 8, so that the receiving canvas 41 is set at an angle.

[0043] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: Before the equipment is started, the position of the first rotating roller 24 is adjusted by the first screw 25 and the first movable seat 26 to ensure the tension of the conveyor belt 23. The speed of the belt conveyor 1 is greater than the speed of the conveyor 2. The second screw 33 and the second movable seat 35 are adjusted so that the brush roller 31 is in close contact with the conveyor belt 23. When the equipment starts up, the grab bucket grabs the material. At this time, the receiving plate 43 receives the material spilled by the grab bucket grabbing the material and guides it into the receiving canvas 41. The grabbed material is then transferred on the belt conveyor 1 to the bifurcated funnel 7. The remaining material will fall onto the conveyor belt 23. When the material adhering to the conveyor belt 23 moves to the edge of the frame 8 near the second rotating roller 27, the brush roller 31 scrapes off the material adhering to the conveyor belt 23. The scraped material falls onto the receiving canvas 41. After each material conveying is completed, the winch 451 controls the steel wire 454 to lower the receiving canvas 41. The material collected by the receiving canvas 41 is placed at the dock for unified cleaning and recycling.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
