[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Bulk material conveyors are devices used to transport unpackaged bulk materials (such as powders, granules, and lumps). They are widely used in industries such as chemical, metallurgy, mining, construction, food, and grain. However, existing bulk material conveyors have the following drawbacks: 1. Their circular design results in low roundness accuracy; 2. Manual drilling on-site leads to large dimensional errors; 3. Excessive welding results in long production cycles, high labor costs, and environmental pollution; 4. Too much manual intervention, with each part corresponding only to a single piece of equipment, hindering versatility and interchangeability, and preventing modular and standardized production, increasing the difficulty of replacing parts and wear components later; 5. Because the equipment is welded as a whole, the weight and weight of the equipment make it inconvenient for workers to move or reposition it, potentially creating safety hazards.

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a bulk material conveyor that is easy to install, including a head 1, a tail 2 installed on one side of the head 1, the head 1 and the tail 2 are spliced ​​together by screws to form the main frame of the conveyor, the head 1 and the tail 2 are provided with a material conveying mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, a belt tensioning device 15 and a cleaning tensioning device 16, the material conveying mechanism includes a belt 3, a belt motor 4, a belt drive roller 7, a belt driven roller 14 and a first reducer, the cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning motor 5, an outer cleaner 6, an inner cleaner 13, a first fixed bracket, a second fixed bracket, a cleaning drive wheel 20, a cleaning driven wheel 18, a cleaning chain 19 and a second reducer.

[0028] It should be noted that the head 1 and tail 2 are assembled into the main frame of the conveyor by screws.

Small parts are first assembled into components, and then the components are assembled into the whole machine. The components are cut and drilled using laser cutting and one-piece molding process. Each component is produced in a standardized manner and has universality. The modular assembly process reduces the amount of welding in the equipment manufacturing process. The large number of screws in the assembly process reduces power consumption and air pollution. At the same time, it reduces the turning operation in the equipment assembly process, reduces the labor intensity of workers and the accident rate of safety production. It can realize assembly line construction, speed up the production cycle, and at the same time ensure the stability of equipment quality.

A first bearing seat is provided at one end of the belt drive roller 7. The first bearing seat is detachably fixed to the corresponding position on the machine head 1 with screws. A second bearing seat is provided at both ends of the belt driven roller 14. The belt tensioning device 15 provided at the tail 2 is connected to the second bearing seat. The belt 3 is sleeved on the belt drive roller 7 and the belt driven roller 14. A detachable second reducer mounting bracket is provided on the outer side of the machine head 1. The second reducer is fixedly mounted on the second reducer mounting bracket with screws. The second reducer mounting bracket is fixed to the machine head 1 with screws. The sweeping motor 5 is fixedly mounted to the motor mounting end of the second reducer with screws. The output shaft of the sweeping motor 5 is connected to the input shaft of the second reducer. After the output shaft of the second reducer passes through the pre-set shaft hole on the machine head 1, it is connected to the shaft end of the sweeping drive wheel 20 through a coupling. A third bearing seat is provided at one end of the sweeping drive wheel 20. The third bearing seat is detachably fixed to the corresponding position on the machine head 1 with screws. A fourth bearing seat is provided at each end of the driven sweeping wheel 18. The cleaning tensioning device 16 at the tail 2 is connected to the fourth bearing seat. The cleaning chain 19 is sleeved on the driving sweeping wheel 20 and the driven sweeping wheel 18. The outer sweeper 6 is detachably connected to the head 1 via a first fixed bracket, and the inner sweeper 13 is detachably connected to the tail 2 via a second fixed bracket. The first and second fixed brackets are respectively connected to the head 1 and the tail 2 with screws. The outer sweeper 6 is set on the outer surface of the belt 3, and the inner sweeper 13 is set on the inner surface of the belt 3. The material swept by the outer sweeper 6 and the inner sweeper 13 falls onto the cleaning chain 19. A suspension bracket is detachably installed at the top of the head 1, and a magnetic separator 8 is installed at the bottom of the suspension bracket. The suspension bracket is fixed to the head 1 with screws. A base is detachably installed on the side of the tail section 2, and the base is connected to the tail section 2 by screws. Side guards 9 are installed on the base, vertically positioned on both sides of the belt 3 to prevent belt 3 from deviating. A roller bracket is detachably installed on the side of the tail section 2, and the roller bracket is fixed to the tail section 2 by screws. Multiple flat rollers 10 are installed inside the roller bracket to support the belt 3 and the material. A feed inlet 12 is opened at the top of the tail section 2, a rear discharge outlet 17 is opened at the bottom of the tail section 2, and a front discharge outlet 21 is opened at the bottom of the head section 1. A material blocking device 11 is detachably connected to the side of the tail section 2, and the material blocking device 11 is connected to the tail section 2 by screws to prevent material overflow.Both sides of the tail section 2 are equipped with observation windows, which are fixed to the tail section 2 with screws. A support frame 22 is installed on the inner wall of the tail section 2. A buffer pad 23 is fixed to the top of the support frame 22, and a support plate 24 is fixed to the top of the buffer pad 23. The support frame 22, the buffer pad 23 and the support plate 24 are arranged at an angle and located between the feed inlet 12 and the belt 3.

[0030] It should be noted that after the equipment is powered on, the belt motor 4 and the sweeping motor 5 rotate forward. The belt motor 4 drives the belt drive roller 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the belt 3 to rotate, and the belt 3 drives the belt driven roller 14 to rotate. The sweeping motor 5 drives the sweeping drive wheel 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the sweeping chain 19 to rotate, and the sweeping chain 19 drives the sweeping driven wheel 18 to rotate. The material enters through the feed inlet 12 and reaches the belt 3. The belt 3 carries the material forward. The material passes through the baffle device 11 and reaches the iron separator 8. After passing under the iron separator 8, the material reaches the front discharge port 21. The outer sweeper 6 is used to clean the material residue on the outer surface of the belt 3, and the inner sweeper 13 is used to clean the material spilled on the inner surface of the belt 3. The material cleaned by the outer sweeper 6 and the inner sweeper 13 is swept by the sweeping chain 19 to the front discharge port 21, thus completing the material transportation process. The flat idler roller 10 is used to support the belt 3 to drive the material forward. The side guard roller 9 is used to block the belt 3 to prevent the belt 3 from running off-track. The belt tensioning device 15 is used to tension the belt 3. The cleaning tensioning device 16 is used to tension the cleaning chain 19. When the incoming material does not meet the requirements, the belt motor 4 and the cleaning motor 5 reverse, driving the non-compliant material to the rear discharge port 17 for discharge. The internal condition of the conveyor can be observed through the observation window. In addition, when the material is fed through the feed port 12, it falls on the pallet 24 and is buffered by the buffer pad 23. Then the material falls on the belt 3 to avoid the material directly impacting the belt 3 and causing damage to the belt 3. The buffer pad 23 is a high-elasticity rubber pad that can reduce the impact on the belt 3. In this solution, the control method of the electrical components is controlled by its matching peripheral controller. The control circuit can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. It is common knowledge in the art. It is only used and not improved. Furthermore, this invention is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0031] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended embodiments and their equivalents.
