Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of chain tightness adjustment, and in particular to a tensioning mechanism for a scraper conveyor chain. Background Art

[0002] Scraper conveyor is a device that uses scraper chain to transport bulk materials in the trough. In the current coal mining face, the role of the scraper conveyor is not only to transport coal and materials, but also to serve as the running track of the coal mining machine. Therefore, it has become an indispensable main equipment in the modern coal mining process. If the scraper conveyor can maintain continuous operation, production can proceed normally. Otherwise, the entire coal mining face will be shut down, causing the entire production to be interrupted.

When the chain is too loose, it will cause the chain to jump and slip, and the transportation capacity of the scraper conveyor will decrease. The traditional method of adjusting the tightness of the scraper conveyor chain is to open the cover of the chain adjustment device to expose the chain and the adjusting bolt, and then use a wrench or pliers to rotate the adjusting bolt to adjust the chain assembly to the appropriate tightness. After the adjustment is completed, tighten the adjusting bolt to ensure that the chain will not automatically loosen or be too tight.

[0004] However, the traditional adjustment method takes a long time to adjust, affects the coal mine transportation efficiency, and is cumbersome to operate and quite labor-intensive. Summary of the invention
