Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an automatic adjustment device for conveying scraper chains and belongs to the technical field of scraper machines. Background Art

[0002] Conveyor scrapers are widely used in the grain and food industries. When the conveyor belt conveys materials, the scraper moves along the direction of the conveyor belt. During the movement, the scraper is close to the conveyor belt and applies a certain amount of pressure to ensure that the materials adhering to the conveyor belt are scraped off, and then collected or discharged through the cleaning device. When in use, the tightness of the conveyor scraper chain is adjusted and fixed according to the process requirements. When conveying materials, the chain will be tight and loose depending on the amount of material, causing the chain machine scraper gear and chain to wear and reduce the service life. At the same time, the loose chain may cause the chain to disengage from the drive wheel, so that the scraper cannot operate normally, resulting in a decrease in production capacity. Even loose chains may cause the chain to fall off, posing a safety hazard and a risk of injury to equipment operators, as well as damage to the sprocket, transmission device and other key components of the scraper, increasing the maintenance cost of the equipment, affecting the normal operation of the hopper, and causing the material to be unable to be discharged on time, thereby affecting the production process.
