[0036] Furthermore, the cross section of any wing portion 14 is kidney-shaped, and the end thereof faces the rib cross section 13 .
[0037] The utility model also provides a method for manufacturing the above-mentioned belt buckle, comprising a step of extruding steel into a long strip and cutting it according to a set length to obtain an original buckle body, the cross-sectional shape of the long strip is the cross-sectional shape of the nail plate portion, after the step of obtaining the original buckle body is completed, the original buckle body is trimmed and punched, in the trimming and punching steps, the front and rear wings of the middle part of the original buckle body are symmetrically cut off to form a buckle ring portion 6, the original buckle bodies connected at both ends of the buckle ring portion respectively form nail plate portions, the nail plate portions are symmetrical on the left and right, two nail holes 3 are punched out at symmetrical positions in the front and rear wings of any nail plate portion, the two nail holes 3 are arranged parallel to the length direction of the original buckle body, the nail holes 3 in the two nail plate portions are symmetrical on the left and right, after the trimming and punching steps are completed, a slope 10 is processed at the left end of the left nail plate portion and the right end of the right nail plate portion, and finally the buckle ring portion 6 is bent into a U shape.
[0038] Specifically, the extrusion, trimming, punching, punching, beveling and bending methods all adopt mechanical processing methods in the prior art.
[0039] The working principle of this embodiment:
[0040] like Figure 1 , Fig.12 As shown, when the belt buckle is in the unfolded state and in the state connected to the conveyor belt, the buckle body is completely symmetrical front to back and left to right. When the belt buckle and the conveyor belt are subjected to tensile loads, the force positions of the two U-shaped nails 4 (four nail feet 5, eight nail holes 3) on the buckle body are completely symmetrical with the upper and lower left and right forces of the buckle part 6 (at the flexible shaft 11), and the forces are evenly distributed in opposite directions, which can increase the service life of the conveyor belt and the belt buckle.
[0041] In addition, before the buckle ring 6 is trimmed, bent, and punched at both ends, the cross-sectional shape of the entire buckle body is equal. The middle and sides of the buckle body are trimmed to form trimming grooves 7, and after bending, the buckle ring 6 is naturally formed. In this way, after trimming, there is no need to perform curling or folding at the buckle ring, which has the advantage of ensuring consistency in mechanical properties.
[0042] The unique shape design of the buckle part 6 is a comprehensive consideration of the rationality of the buckle assembly, the rationality of the buckle part 6 and the butt joint of the two conveyor belts, etc., as described in detail below.
[0043] like Fig.12 As shown, when the left and right belt buckles are docked, the width of the rib 2 is smaller than the width of the base plate 1, and a rounded corner 8 and an inner concave arc 9 are provided to play a guiding role, so that the left and right buckle bodies can be docked and inserted more smoothly, reducing the assembly connection time and reducing the on-site labor intensity.
[0044] like Fig.12As shown, after the belt buckle is connected to the conveyor belt, the wider part below the rib 2 (i.e., the base plate 1) contacts the flexible shaft 11, and the rib 2 is located on the other side of the buckle body and does not contact the flexible shaft 11. The width of the base plate 1 is greater than the width of the rib 2, which can increase the contact area of the flexible shaft 11, reduce the contact pressure between the buckle body and the flexible shaft 11, and extend the service life of the product.
[0045] At the same time, the design of being narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, that is, the width of the base plate 1 is greater than the width of the rib 2, the base plate 1 can reduce the gap between the two belt buckles after they are connected and inserted, thus effectively reducing the leakage of coal dust at this point.
[0046] The design of narrow top and wide bottom can easily adapt to the deformation requirements of the conveyor belt during operation. Because after the conveyor belt is loaded with coal or other minerals, when it runs on the bracket roller, the cross section of the conveyor belt is similar to the inverted trapezoidal shape of the riverbed, or a concave arc shape. Then, the belt buckles installed on the conveyor belt are equivalent to being arranged along the inverted trapezoid (or arc). This structural design of narrow top and wide bottom effectively avoids or reduces the damage caused by mutual extrusion between the buckle bodies.
[0047] The convex rib 2 on the belt buckle makes the entire buckle body less likely to be worn during the operation of the conveyor belt, effectively extending the service life of the product.
[0048] The surface of the buckle body transitions to the belt surface through the inclined surface 10, so that when the belt passes through the roller and the drum during operation, various impacts are reduced, and possible pulling, scratching and pulling are reduced. At the same time, the belt buckle also reduces the scratching damage to the belt cleaner and reduces the operating noise.
