DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] As Figures 1-13The application discloses a vertical tensioning structure of a long-distance belt conveyor, which comprises a belt sagging section 11, a first self-rotating turning roller 1001 and a second self-rotating turning roller 1002 arranged at the upper end of the belt sagging section 11, the first self-rotating turning roller 1001 and the second self-rotating turning roller 1002 being spaced apart, a heavy sagging device 1 arranged at the lower end of the belt sagging section 11, a first self-rotating guide roller 1101 and a second self-rotating guide roller 1102 arranged at the heavy sagging device 1, the first self-rotating guide roller 1101 and the second self-rotating guide roller 1102 being spaced apart, a transmission line belt 10 winding around the first self-rotating turning roller 1001 and the second self-rotating turning roller 1002 from above and winding around the first self-rotating guide roller 1101 and the second self-rotating guide roller 1102 from below, and a vertical stand 6, wherein the heavy sagging device 1 is vertically slidable along the vertical stand 6.

[0032] The long-distance belt conveyor is provided with fixed rotatable rollers, i.e. the first self-rotating turning roller 1001 and the second self-rotating turning roller 1002, arranged at the middle part or close to the end part of the long-distance belt conveyor, the first self-rotating turning roller 1001 and the second self-rotating turning roller 1002 being connected with the first self-rotating guide roller 1101 and the second self-rotating guide roller 1102 through the belt sagging section 11, the heavy sagging device 1 being pulled, the dead weight of the heavy sagging device 1 forming a fixed pulling force on the transmission line belt 10, so as to tension the transmission line belt 10 and keep the constant tension, when the belt expands or shrinks with the change of temperature, the belt sagging section 11 and the heavy sagging device 1 descending or ascending together, so as to keep the tension of the transmission line belt 10 self-adapting.

[0033] The heavy sagging device 1 is slidably connected with the vertical stand 6 through a guide rail sliding block device 601, so that the heavy sagging device 1 can only move up and down, which can meet the requirement of the expansion and shrink of the transmission line belt 10 and will not make the heavy sagging device 1 swing freely.

[0034] Since the height of the belt from the ground is limited, and the heavy sagging is not easy to be suspended too high, with the aging of the belt, the length is gradually elongated, in order to keep the tension, the heavy sagging gradually descends and gradually approaches the ground, and the remaining distance from the heavy sagging to the ground is not enough to meet the length change of the belt caused by the expansion and shrink.

[0035] One of the solutions is to dig a pit 9 on the ground, but the premise is that there is no other installation component on the ground and no other underground line pipe and buried objects, so the solution is only suitable for a few cases.

[0036] In the preferred solution, a movable connecting shaft 5 is further arranged, the connecting shaft 5 is provided with a first hinged rod 3 and a second hinged rod 4 hinged at both ends, one end of the first hinged rod 3 is hinged with the first self-rotating guide roller 1101, one end of the second hinged rod 4 is hinged with the second self-rotating guide roller 1102, the heavy sagging device 1 is provided with a transverse guide rail 2, and the first self-rotating guide roller 1101 and the second self-rotating guide roller 1102 can independently move along the transverse guide rail 2.

[0037] At the beginning, the first guide roller 1101 and the second guide roller 1102 are in the closed state. When the belt is elongated due to long-term use, the connecting shaft 5 is lowered relative to the vertical device 1, the first guide roller 1101 and the second guide roller 1102 are moved away from the two ends along the transverse guide rail 2, and the lower end of the belt sagging section 11 is stretched to restore the tension state.

[0038] The first guide roller 1101 and the second guide roller 1102 are used to drive the belt to be tensioned, which does not occupy vertical space, and the vertical device 1 does not need to be suspended too high, so it can adapt to more installation scenarios.

[0039] In the preferred embodiment, the vertical device 1 includes a base 101, the base 101 is provided with a movable pulling frame 104, and the upper end of the pulling frame 104 is connected to the connecting shaft 5.

[0040] In the preferred embodiment, the base 101 is provided with a notch portion 102, the inner sides of the two ends of the notch portion 102 are each provided with a cross frame 105, the transverse guide rail 2 is arranged on the cross frame 105, the first guide roller 1101 and the second guide roller 1102 are each provided with a middle shaft 1103, the two ends of the middle shaft 1103 are rotatably sleeved with the first hinge rod 3 and the second hinge rod 4, and the two ends of the middle shaft 1103 are each provided with a clamping sliding block 1104 which is slidably connected with the transverse guide rail 2.

[0041] The main function of the notch portion 102 is to form a space for avoiding interference with the first hinge rod 3, the second hinge rod 4, the first guide roller 1101 and the second guide roller 1102 which are stretched.

[0042] In the preferred embodiment, the base 101 is provided with an inner groove portion 103, the inner wall of the inner groove portion 103 is provided with a rotatable lead screw assembly 106, the lower end of the pulling frame 104 is provided with a nut which is threadedly sleeved with the lead screw assembly 106, and the lead screw assembly 106 is rotated to move the pulling frame 104 up and down.

[0043] When the pulling frame 104 is lowered, since the first guide roller 1101 and the second guide roller 1102 are clamped on the transverse guide rail 2 through the clamping sliding block 1104, and the transverse guide rail 2 is fixed on the base 101, the pulling frame 104 can only pull the connecting shaft 5 at the upper end to be lowered, the first hinge rod 3 and the second hinge rod 4 are gradually swung from being close to the vertical direction to being close to the transverse direction, and the middle shaft 1103 of the first guide roller 1101 and the second guide roller 1102 is stretched to tighten the transmission line belt 10.

[0044] In the preferred embodiment, the pulling frame 104 is provided with a lead screw assembly 106 at each end, the inner groove portion 103 is further provided with a transmission shaft 107, the transmission shaft 107 is in transmission with each lead screw assembly 106 through a bevel gear transmission set 108 at both ends, one end of the transmission shaft 107 is sleeved with a large gear 109, the inner groove portion 103 is further provided with a driving motor 110, the shaft end of the driving motor 110 is provided with a small gear 111 which is engaged with the large gear 109.

[0045] The two ends of the lead screw assembly 106 are connected to the inner wall of the inner groove 103 via end seats.

[0046] A drive motor 110 synchronously controls the rotation of the lead screw assemblies 106 at both ends, so that the two ends of the pulling frame 104 move synchronously, avoiding misalignment and jamming caused by asynchronous movement.

[0050] The adjacent T-slots 702 are spaced equally. A partition plate 703 is welded at the center line of the counterweight mounting plate 701. Only an equal number of counterweight blocks 8 can be installed in the T-slots 702 on both sides of the partition plate 703 to ensure that the counterweight blocks 8 hanging below the counterweight mounting plate 701 are evenly distributed and to avoid weight concentration that could lead to unbalanced load.

[0051] In the preferred embodiment, each T-slot 702 has two L-shaped blocks 704 at both ends. The counterweight mounting plate 701 has a lower stop block 705 below the L-shaped blocks 704.

The lower end of the sliding plate 706 stops on the lower stop block 705.

[0052] The sliding plate 706 blocks both ends of the T-slot 702 to prevent the counterweight 8 from gradually slipping off from both ends as the counterweight mounting plate 701 moves.

[0053] The sliding plate 706 is inserted into the slot structure by its own weight. When it is necessary to add or remove the counterweight 8, the sliding plate 706 can be manually slid up to expose the port of the T-slot 702.

The scope of protection of the present invention should be limited to the technical solutions described in the claims, including equivalent substitutions of the technical features described in the claims.
