Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of belt conveyors, and more specifically, to a belt conveyor structure with a circular groove section and a belt conveyor. Background Art
[0002] Belt conveyor is one of the most important material conveying equipment at present, which can realize continuous conveying of materials.
[0003] Traditional belt conveyors generally support the conveyor belt through three rollers, making the conveyor belt present a trapezoidal cross-section trough, through which materials are carried and transported. If the conveying line has a horizontal curve, the roller group needs to be raised on the inside of the curve to balance the centripetal force of the conveyor belt and reduce the tendency of the conveyor belt to move inward. At the same time, the inner guard roller is used to limit the slippage of the conveyor belt. The smaller the curve radius, the greater the tendency of the conveyor belt to slide inward, the greater the lifting angle of the roller, and the greater the load on the inner guard roller. Due to the restriction of the trapezoidal cross-section, the lifting angle is generally controlled below 7°. Too large a lifting angle will cause material to be scattered, affecting the normal operation of the conveyor. Utility Model Content

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0032] The utility model is described in detail below.
[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown; a belt conveyor structure with a circular groove section, comprising a load-bearing section and a return section connected in sequence; the load-bearing section has the same structure as the return section;
[0034] The bearing section includes a conveyor belt 4 having an arc-shaped cross section and an opening, and a plurality of roller groups arranged outside the conveyor belt 4 and drivingly matched with the conveyor belt 4; the plurality of roller groups are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the conveyor belt 4;
[0035] Each group of the rollers comprises a bottom roller 1 located at the bottom of the outer side of the conveyor belt 4 and tangent to the conveyor belt 4, and a side roller group symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom roller 1 and tangent to the outer side of the conveyor belt 4 respectively;
[0036] Each set of side rollers includes two sets of side rollers that are tangent to the outer side of the conveyor belt 4;
[0037] The two groups of side rollers cooperate with each other on the side away from the bottom roller 1 to form an entrance that is arranged corresponding to and connected to the opening; the bottom roller 1 and the four groups of side rollers cooperate with each other to form a groove, and the conveyor belt 4 is located in the groove.
[0038] In the utility model, two groups of rollers are used to support the conveyor belt 4, each group of rollers includes four groups of side rollers and one group of bottom rollers 1; the arc-shaped section of the conveyor belt 4 is located on a circle, and the parent and child lines of each roller are tangent to the circle. The conveyor belt 4 forms a circular groove-shaped section with an upper opening under the constraint of the roller group; the opening formed by the conveyor belt 4 allows the transported material 6 to be filled in the lower part of the groove to achieve continuous transportation.
[0039] In some possible embodiments, when the load-bearing section and the return section are connected to form a horizontal curve, a stop roller 5 is respectively arranged at the top of each group of side roller groups close to the center of the horizontal curve, and the bottom of the stop roller 5 is abutted against the side close to the conveyor belt 4; the side roller group includes a middle roller 2 tangent to the outer side surface of the conveyor belt 4, and a top roller 3 located on the side of the middle roller 2 away from the bottom roller 1; the stop roller 5 is arranged at one end of the top roller 3 away from the middle roller 2.
[0040] By arranging the stop rollers, when the conveyor belt 4 slips under the action of the centripetal force of the horizontal curve, the edge of the conveyor belt 4 will contact the stop rollers when the conveyor belt 4 slips, and the stop rollers will limit the conveyor belt 4 from continuing to slip; since the upper rollers shrink inward, the sliding direction of the edge of the conveyor belt 4 is changed, so that the sliding direction deviates from the centripetal force; the sliding tendency of the conveyor belt 4 becomes smaller, and the contact force with the stop rollers is also reduced.
[0041] In some possible implementations, in order to facilitate the filling of the material 6, the center angle of the arc formed by the cross section of the conveyor belt 4 is θ, 270°≥θ≥230°.
[0042] In some possible implementations, when the load-bearing section and the return section are connected to form a horizontal straight section, the axis of the bottom roller 1 in the load-bearing section and the return section in the long direction is horizontally arranged, and the opening faces upward.
[0043] In some possible implementations, when the load-bearing section and the return section are connected to form a horizontal curve, the roller group rotates around its axial direction away from the center of the horizontal curve section;
[0044] Wherein, in the bearing section, the angle A1 formed between the bottom roller 1 and the horizontal plane after rotation;
[0045] In the return section, the bottom roller 1 forms an angle A2 with the horizontal plane after rotation, and A2>A1.
[0046] In some possible implementations, in the horizontal curve and as a load-bearing section, 15°≥A1≥7°.
[0047] In some possible implementations, in the horizontal curve and as a return segment, 25°≥A2>15°.
[0048] When the load-bearing section and the return section are connected to form a horizontal curve and the horizontal curve will be used as a turning section, the roller group rotates a certain angle toward the side away from the center of the horizontal curve with the center of the inscribed circle of the five groups of rollers (the arc formed by the conveyor belt 4) as the reference point, so that the rollers on the inner side of the curve are raised, thereby increasing the contact force ratio between the conveyor belt 4 and the side rollers on the side close to the center of the curve, and reducing the slip tendency of the edge of the conveyor belt 4 toward the stop roller; under the condition of a smaller turning radius, the conveyor belt 4 is more likely to reach a balanced state under the constraint of the roller group, thereby achieving smooth operation of the conveyor.
[0049] A belt conveyor comprises the above-mentioned belt conveyor structure with a circular groove section, a frame for installing a roller group, and a driving device connected to the roller group in a transmission manner.
[0050] Embodiment 1:
[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a belt conveyor structure with a circular groove cross section, Figure 1 The diagram shows the cross-sectional structure of the load-bearing section when it is a horizontal straight section; Figure 2 The diagram shows the cross-sectional structure of the return section when the section is horizontal and straight. Under this condition, the structure and layout of the load-bearing section and the return section are exactly the same.
[0052] The load-bearing section or return section includes a group of bottom rollers 1 located at the bottom of the conveyor belt 4 and tangent to the bottom of the outer side of the conveyor belt 4, two groups of middle rollers 2 located at the outer side of the conveyor belt 4 and tangent to the outer side of the conveyor belt 4, and two groups of top rollers 3 located above the middle rollers 2 and tangent to the outer side of the conveyor belt 4. The five groups of rollers support and constrain the conveyor belt 4 at the load-bearing section to form an arc structure with an opening facing upward to carry the conveyed material 6; the center angle of the arc structure is θ, 270°≥θ≥230°; of course, the center angle θ may also be 270°-280° if necessary.
[0053] When the belt conveyor structure is used as a horizontal straight section, the axis of the bottom roller 1 is arranged in the horizontal direction.
[0054] The various frames and driving devices required for the belt conveyor are prior art and do not belong to the improvement points of the present utility model, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0055] Embodiment 2:
[0056] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a belt conveyor with a circular trough section is applied to a horizontal curved section; Figure 3 The diagram shows the cross-sectional structure of the load-bearing segment when it is in a horizontal curved segment; Figure 4 The diagram shows the cross-sectional structure of the return section in a horizontal curve section. Under this condition, the structure of the load-bearing section is the same as that of the return section, but the layout is different.
[0057] The load-bearing section includes a load-bearing section or a return section including a group of bottom rollers located at the bottom of the conveyor belt 4 and tangent to the bottom of the outer side of the conveyor belt 4, two groups of middle rollers 2 located at the outer side of the conveyor belt 4 and tangent to the outer side of the conveyor belt 4, two groups of top rollers 3 located above the middle rollers 2 and tangent to the outer side of the conveyor belt 4, and a stop roller 5 of the top roller 3 arranged on the side close to the center of the horizontal curve; the five groups of rollers support and constrain the conveyor belt 4 at the load-bearing section to form an arc structure with an opening facing upward to carry the conveyed material 6; the stop roller 5 prevents the conveyor belt 4 from slipping.
[0058] Wherein, in the bearing section, the angle A1 formed between the bottom roller 1 and the horizontal plane after rotation;
[0059] In the return section, the angle A2 formed by the bottom roller 1 and the horizontal plane after rotation is A2>A1; when in the horizontal curve and as a load-bearing section, 15°≥A1≥7°; when in the horizontal curve and as a return section, 25°≥A2>15°.
[0060] The utility model can effectively overcome the slip tendency of the conveyor belt 4 caused by the centripetal force. On the horizontal curve section, the opening of the conveyor belt 4 will be rotated away from the outside in the load-bearing section and the return section relative to the load-bearing section or the return section in the horizontal straight section around the axis of the conveyor belt 4, so that the opening is away from the center of the formed horizontal curve. After the rotation, the side roller group close to the side of the center line of the horizontal curve will be raised, which will increase the proportion of the contact force between the conveyor belt 4 and the side roller group in turn, increase the friction force of the conveyor belt 4, and reduce the slip tendency of the edge of the conveyor belt 4 toward the stop roller. Under the condition of a smaller turning radius, the conveyor belt 4 can more easily reach a balanced state under the constraint of the rollers, so as to achieve smooth operation of the conveyor.
[0061] A stop roller 5 is arranged at the top end of the top roller 3 near the center of the horizontal curve in the horizontal turning section. When the sliding edge of the conveyor belt 4 contacts the stop roller 5, the stop roller 5 restricts the conveyor belt 4 from continuing to slide. Since the top roller 3 contracts inwardly, the sliding direction of the edge of the conveyor belt 4 is changed, so that the sliding direction deviates from the centripetal force, and the contact force with the stop roller 5 becomes smaller. Therefore, compared with the ordinary trough section, the utility model makes the conveyor more adaptable to stable operation under the condition of smaller turning radius.
[0062] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation modes, but extends to any new features or any new combination disclosed in this specification, as well as any new method or process steps or any new combination disclosed.
