Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of belt connectors, in particular to a belt connector. Background Art

[0002] Belt connectors are an integral part of the conveying system. Connectors are mainly used to connect the two ends of the conveyor belt to form a continuous closed loop for stable and efficient material transportation in various industrial, commercial or agricultural environments. The selection and installation of belt connectors are crucial to the stability and efficiency of the entire conveying system.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, the conventional belt connector 10 is L-shaped and is used in pairs. It is arranged on the outside of both ends of the conveyor belt 20 and is locked and fixed by a through bolt 30 to form a continuous closed loop.

[0004] During operation, the closed-loop conveyor belt 20 needs to go around a roller shaft or a roller wheel. At this time, the belt connector 10 is subjected to complex forces, which can easily cause the belt connector 10 to deform and fail. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a belt connector to solve the problem that a traditional L-shaped belt connector is easily deformed and fails under complex stress conditions.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a belt connector, comprising a connector body with a rectangular cross section, and a connecting hole is opened through the center of the long side of the connector body;

[0007] At least one corner of the connector body is processed into an arc-shaped round edge, which contacts the bend of the conveyor belt;

[0008] The belt connectors are used in pairs, symmetrically arranged on the outside of both ends of the conveyor belt 20, and are locked and fixed by bolts passing through the connection holes of the two sets of belt connectors;

[0009] A recessed groove is machined around the connection hole of the connector body. When the bolts lock and fix the two sets of belt connectors, the flexible conveyor belt is embedded in the recessed groove, thereby enhancing the friction between the conveyor belt and the connector body and improving the stability of the connection.

[0010] Preferably, two arc-shaped round edges are processed and are respectively located at diagonally opposite corners of the connector body, so that the belt connector can be used both forward and reverse.

[0011] Preferably, there are two recessed grooves, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the long side of the connector body, so that the belt connector can be used both forward and reverse.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0013] Compared with the traditional L-shaped belt connector, the belt connector of the present utility model has better support and fitting at the position where the conveyor belt is bent by 90 degrees, and the structure is more stable, and it is not easy to deform during long-term operation.
