Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of material transmission, and in particular to a transfer device and a spiral tower. Background Art

[0002] In order to achieve the purpose of transporting materials, conveyor belts are often used. Conveyor belts can be used in applications with minimal demand, moderate demand, or in applications with great demand and requiring heavy conveyor belts. Conveyor belts can also be very large in size and length. For example, conveyor belts used in mining applications can be very wide (e.g., 10 feet wide) and very long (e.g., on the order of miles). They can also be up to about three inches thick or even thicker. Conveyor belts are widely used in scenarios where ore, coal, and a variety of materials are moved from one location to another.

[0003] In order to achieve continuous movement of the conveyor belt during use, the conveyor belt is connected end to end to form a cyclically rotatable structure. This structure forms an arc structure at the material input end and the material output end of the conveyor belt. In order to avoid affecting the rotation of the conveyor belt, it is necessary to prevent the equipment that feeds materials into the conveyor belt or receives materials output by the conveyor belt from contacting the arc structure, that is, to be set outside the arc structure of the conveyor belt, so that a gap is formed between the device and the conveyor belt, which hinders material transmission and even causes smaller materials to fall, affecting material transmission and production.
