Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a pipeline type double air cushion belt conveyor, belonging to the technical field of air cushion conveyors. Background Art
[0002] During the transportation of bulk materials, conventional belt conveyors are prone to dust spillage, causing environmental pollution. More and more bulk materials are transported using air cushion conveyors with an outer cover (i.e., pipeline air cushion conveyors). During the transportation of bulk materials, they are in the pipeline, isolated from the outside world, and no dust spillage occurs. However, due to the dispersion characteristics of bulk materials, bulk materials will randomly scatter on the conveyor belt, which can easily cause the material to accumulate on one side of the conveyor belt, and then cause the conveyor belt to deflect. The lower surface of the deflected side of the conveyor belt will rub against the upper surface of the air cushion groove plate, causing damage to the conveyor belt, and increasing the running resistance of the conveyor belt and energy consumption.

The return high-pressure air chamber 115 is connected to the return air pipe I 113 through the air inlet pipe II 117. Part of the high-pressure air returned by the return air pipe I 113 enters the return high-pressure air chamber 115, thereby supporting the return section of the conveyor belt 104. The return chamber 114 is connected to the high-pressure air source fan I 2 through the return air pipe II 118. The air inlet of the left air chamber 106 and the right air chamber 107 are connected to the air outlet of the high-pressure air source fan Ⅱ3 through the air inlet pipe Ⅲ119. The air inlet pipe Ⅲ119 is divided into two pipes. The air volume control valve 120 is installed on the air inlet pipe Ⅲ119. The air volume control valve 120 is a normally closed valve. The air volume control in this embodiment is a normally closed three-position three-way solenoid valve. A one-way valve is provided on the air inlet pipe Ⅲ119 to prevent the high-pressure air in the left air chamber 106 and the right air chamber 107 from flowing into the air inlet pipe Ⅲ119.
[0022] Specifically, the one-way valve I 125 includes a hollow shell 127 whose upper portion extends into the left air chamber 106, an air inlet hole 128 is provided at the bottom of the shell 127, a rubber sealing pad 129 is movably overlapped at the top of the air inlet hole 128, and is sealed by the lower surface of the rubber sealing pad 129, the upper surface of the rubber sealing pad 129 is fixedly connected to a limit plate 130, the upper surface of the limit plate 130 is fixedly connected to a return spring 131, the return spring 131 is a compression spring, and the return spring 131 is a compression spring.

[0023] Specifically, air filters are provided at the air inlets of the high-pressure air source blower Ⅰ2 and the high-pressure air source blower Ⅱ3. The air filters in this embodiment are bag-type dust filters.
[0024] The working principle of the utility model is that when conveying materials, the high-pressure air source fan Ⅰ2 conveys high-pressure air to the main air chamber 105 through the air inlet pipe Ⅰ110, and a part of the high-pressure air in the main air chamber 105 enters the material conveying chamber 102 through the ventilation holes on the travel air cushion slot plate 103, and the other part of the high-pressure air enters the left air chamber 106 and the right air chamber 107 through the one-way valve Ⅰ125 and the one-way valve Ⅱ126, and then enters the material conveying chamber 102 through the ventilation holes on the travel air cushion slot plate 103. The high-pressure air forms a layer of air film with a certain pressure between the upper surface of the travel air cushion slot plate 103 and the lower surface of the conveying belt 104 to support the conveying belt 104 and the materials it carries. After supporting the conveyor belt 104, the high-pressure air enters the left return air chamber 108 and the right return air chamber 109 through the return air holes 111 at the two ends of the top of the travel air cushion slot plate 103, and flows back to the high-pressure air source fan Ⅰ2 through the return air pipe Ⅰ113. Part of the high-pressure air returning from the return air pipe Ⅰ113 enters the return high-pressure air chamber 115 through the air inlet pipe Ⅱ117, and then supports the return section of the conveyor belt 104, and then flows back to the high-pressure air source fan Ⅰ2 through the return air pipe Ⅱ118, so as to realize the recycling of high-pressure air and save energy. When the conveyor belt 104 deflects to one side, the lower surface of the deflected side of the conveyor belt 104 will contact the upper surface of the travel air cushion slot plate 103, thereby shielding the conveyor belt 104. The return air hole 111 on the side causes the air pressure in the return air chamber on this side to decrease, and the air pressure sensor 112 sends a signal, and the high-pressure air source fan II3 starts working. The air volume control valve 120 on the air inlet pipe III 119 controls the high-pressure air source fan II3 to be connected with the return air chamber on the deflected side of the conveyor belt 104, but not to the other return air chamber, and to deliver pressurized air to the return air chamber on the deflected side, thereby increasing the support strength on the deflected side, and then correcting the conveyor belt 104 to keep the conveyor belt 104 balanced. The ducted double air cushion belt conveyor of the utility model is convenient for realizing the recycling of high-pressure air and saving energy by arranging return air holes, return air chambers and return air ducts, while supporting the high-pressure air circulation of the conveyor belt. The high-pressure air flows downward through the return air hole under the conveyor belt to the return air chamber. During the whole process, the high-pressure air will not enter the upper space of the conveyed material, will not contact the material, and will not stir up the dust on the material, thereby preventing the dust on the material from contaminating the high-pressure air and maintaining the cleanliness of the circulating high-pressure air. By setting an air pressure sensor, it is convenient to detect the air pressure in the return air chamber, and then detect whether the conveyor belt is deflected. By setting the main air chamber and the left and right air chambers, it is convenient to support the left, middle and right sides of the lower surface of the conveyor belt respectively, so as to facilitate correction when the conveyor belt is deflected. By setting an air filter at the air inlet of the high-pressure air source fan, it is convenient to filter out impurities in the air entering the high-pressure air source fan from the outside.
