TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of conveying equipment, in particular to an automatic ash removal device of a belt type drying conveyor. BACKGROUND
[0002] The chain plate in the existing drying machine chain plate conveyor has defects that can be further optimized due to the fixed structure design (no active opening and closing function): 1) Internal impurities cannot be actively discharged: the chain plate is a closed rigid structure, and the internal accumulated dust and clumped materials (such as hardened particles after sludge drying) can only be manually discharged or brushed after disassembling the plate. Disassembling the plate requires stopping and disassembling the entire chain transmission system, which takes a long time for single cleaning and seriously affects the continuity of production.
[0003] 2) Accumulation of impurities causes chain failure: long-term accumulation of internal impurities can cause uneven weight of the chain plate, resulting in vibration and noise during operation, accelerating the wear of the chain shaft and chain pin (30-50% reduction in service life); if the impurities are corrosive materials (such as chemical waste), they can also cause hidden corrosion to the internal metal structure of the chain plate, increasing the risk of sudden breakage.
[0004] 3) Secondary pollution during ash removal: during manual disassembly and cleaning, the internal dust is easily dispersed into the drying machine cavity, polluting the already dried materials (such as powder materials in food processing), or adhering to the inner wall of the equipment to form a new source of dust accumulation, forming a vicious cycle of "cleaning - pollution - re-cleaning".
