[0031] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A steerable belt conveyor, comprising: a conveyor body 1, a curved belt 2 and a tapered roller 3, wherein the tapered rollers 3 are tiltedly arranged at both ends of the conveyor body 1 to ensure that the upper surface of the curved belt 2 respectively sleeved on the tapered rollers 3 at both ends is horizontal, a plurality of slider assemblies 201 are respectively arranged around both sides of the curved belt 2, and a slide rail assembly 101 matched with the slider assembly 201 is respectively arranged on the conveyor body 1, and the curved belt 2 can be assembled on the conveyor body 1 by means of a plurality of slider assemblies 201 and can be movably assembled along the arc direction of the slide rail assembly 101.

[0033] The specific implementation of the steerable belt conveyor of the present application is to reasonably arrange the tapered roller 3, the slider assembly 201 and the slide rail assembly 101 so that the upper surface of the curved belt 2 is horizontal, and can stably move along the arc direction and prevent it from deviating during operation.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 The slide rail assembly 101 includes: a first slide rail 10101 horizontally arranged on both sides above the curved belt 2 along the arc direction thereof, and a second slide rail 10102 obliquely arranged on both sides below the curved belt 2 along the arc direction thereof, and the second slide rail 10102 is in contact with the lower side of the curved belt 2.

[0035] The first slide rail 10101 and the second slide rail 10102 provided in the present application are adapted to the upper and lower sides of the curved belt 2, so that the curved belt 2 can run more stably. The design of the first slide rail 10101 and the second slide rail 10102 can effectively support and guide the curved belt 2 to prevent it from shaking or running off during operation, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire conveyor.

[0036] Reference Figure 4The slider assembly 201 includes: a first guide column 20101 which is perpendicular to the surface of the curved belt 2 and is arranged on both sides thereof and is respectively adapted to the first slide rail 10101 and the second slide rail 10102; and a rotating wheel 20102 which is rotatably arranged at one end of the first guide column 20101 away from the curved belt 2 and is respectively adapted to the first slide rail 10101 and the second slide rail 10102.

[0037] The present application uses the design of the rotating wheel 20102 to replace the sliding friction with the rotating friction to reduce the friction force, so that the curved belt 2 is more stable during operation, reduces energy loss and prolongs the service life of the conveyor. This design helps to improve the efficiency and stability of the conveyor.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 : The two ends of the conveyor body 1 are respectively provided with movable grooves 102 adapted to the two ends of the tapered roller 3, and the first tensioning mechanism for adjusting the tension of the curved belt 2 is respectively provided at the two ends of the tapered roller 3.

[0039] Through this design, the two ends of the tapered roller 3 can move in the movable groove 102 through the first tensioning mechanism, thereby adjusting the tension of the curved belt 2. This design allows the tension of the belt to be adjusted as needed to meet the operating requirements under different working conditions. It should be noted that the first tensioning mechanism mentioned in the claims is a common mechanism for conveyor belt tensioning adjustment, and the specific structure and principle are not described in detail here.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 : A load-bearing plate 103 is also provided on the conveyor body 1. The load-bearing plate 103 is located inside the curved belt 2 and can contact the curved belt 2 when the curved belt 2 is bent.

[0041] Through this design, the bearing plate 103 of the present application can assist the curved belt 2 in bearing weight, thereby enhancing the bearing capacity of the curved belt 2, making it run more stably, helping to reduce the deformation and vibration of the curved belt 2 during operation, improving the stability and reliability of the conveyor, and effectively improving the operation of the curved belt 2, reducing wear on the equipment, and extending the service life of the equipment. This design has significant advantages in improving conveyor performance and reducing maintenance costs.

[0042] Reference Figure 5-Figure 7: The conveyor body 1 is located below the curved belt 2 and is provided with a second tensioning mechanism 4; wherein the second tensioning mechanism 4 comprises: a first mounting frame 401, a movable seat 402, a second guide column 403, an elastic member 404 and an abutment assembly 405, the first mounting frame 401 is respectively arranged around the curved belt 2 in the arc direction, the conveyor body 1 is located below the curved belt 2, and a plurality of guide grooves 40101 are recessed inwardly on its upper surface, the second guide column 403 penetrates the inner bottom wall of each guide groove 40101 along the axial direction of the guide groove 40101, the The movable seat 402 is coaxially fixed on the second guide column 403, and the elastic member 404 is sleeved on the second guide column 403, and one end thereof is abutted or fixed to the bottom wall of the guide groove 40101, and the other end is abutted or fixed to the lower surface of the movable seat 402, and a through hole 4010101 with an inner diameter smaller than the width of the movable seat 402 is provided at the upper opening of the guide groove 40101, the diameter of the second guide column 403 is matched with the inner diameter of the through hole 4010101, and the upper end thereof extending out of the through hole 4010101 is provided with an abutment component 405 capable of abutting against the curved belt 2.

[0043] When the curved belt 2 is running, the elastic member 404 is expanded upward to drive the movable seat 402 to move upward, thereby driving the abutment assembly 405 to tension the lower surface of the curved belt 2, so that the curved belt 2 can run more stably. At the same time, the setting of the through hole 4010101 can prevent the movable seat 402 from being ejected from the guide groove 40101 by the elastic member 404. Thus, the curved belt 2 is tensioned, ensuring the normal and stable operation of the conveyor.

[0044] Reference Figure 5-Figure 7 : The height of each location of the first mounting frame 401 is adapted to the lower surface of the curved belt 2, the depth of the plurality of guide grooves 40101 on the upper surface of the first mounting frame 401 is adapted to the height of each location, and the length of the second guide column 403 is adapted to the depth of the guide groove 40101.

[0045] In this application, since the lower surface of the curved belt 2 is inclined, the second tensioning mechanism 4 is required to tension various parts of its lower surface, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the curved belt 2. This design takes into account the unevenness of the lower surface of the curved belt 2, and tensions it through the second tensioning mechanism 4, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the conveyor.

[0046] Reference Figure 6 The abutment assembly 405 includes: a second mounting frame 40501 arranged at the upper end of the second guide column 403, and a roller 40502 rotatably connected to the second mounting frame 40501, and the rolling direction of the roller 40502 is consistent with the transmission direction of the curved belt 2.

[0047] The present application replaces the sliding friction with the rotation friction of the roller 40502 to make the curved belt 2 run more stably. This design can effectively improve the running stability and efficiency of the conveyor, while reducing the wear on the curved belt 2, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

[0048] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 : A spline 40302 is arranged around the circumference of the second guide column 403, and a spline 40302 hole 4010102 matched with the spline 40302 is arranged in the guide groove 40101.

[0049] The present application prevents the second guide column 403 from driving the abutment assembly 405 to rotate by the cooperation between the spline 40302 and the spline 40302 hole 4010102, thereby ensuring that the rolling direction of the roller 40502 is consistent with the transmission direction of the curved belt 2, thereby making the curved belt 2 run more stably. This design can effectively ensure the stability of the abutment assembly 405, so that the conveyor can maintain the normal transmission direction of the curved belt 2 during operation, thereby improving the operating efficiency and stability of the conveyor.

[0050] When the device provided by the utility model is in use, the specific implementation method of the steerable belt conveyor of the present application is to reasonably arrange the tapered roller 3, the slider assembly 201 and the slide rail assembly 101 so that the upper surface of the curved belt 2 is horizontal, and can stably move along the arc direction and prevent it from deviating during operation.
