Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of turning rollers, in particular to a turning roller structure of a belt conveyor. Background Technique

[0002] A turning roller is a mechanical device used to change the movement direction of an object. It utilizes the effects of rolling friction and rolling inertia to cause the object to change its movement direction when passing through the turning roller. In the automated production equipment of a conveyor, the turning roller can effectively improve production efficiency and reduce labor intensity.

[0003] A common turning roller structure generally consists of a bearing, a ball, and a coil. The bearing can bear external forces and provide support for the rotation of the object at the same time. The ball can reduce the friction force of the turning roller, thereby reducing the rotation resistance of the object. The coil can control the turning angle of the turning roller, and the size of the turning angle is determined according to the rotation direction of the object.

[0004] When installing the turning roller, the bearing needs to be installed on the surface of the bracket of the belt conveyor to transmit the turning torque. However, due to different specifications of the turning roller, the bearing installation parts of different specifications of the turning roller will also vary. When installing the turning roller on the surface of the bracket of the belt conveyor, there will be a large deviation between the bearing and the bracket surface, and the turning roller rotates unevenly, resulting in premature wear of the turning roller, reducing the service life of the turning roller, and unable to accurately transmit the turning torque.

Finally, the turning angle of the turning roller can be controlled through the coil, and the size of the turning angle is determined according to the rotation direction of the object;

[0031] Please refer to Figure 3 , an adjusting block 3 is arranged at the outer end of the guide rod 2, and connecting shafts 4 are installed on the inner sides of the adjusting blocks 3, and the connecting shafts 4 are located in the inner cavity of the guide rod 2;

The connecting plates 7 are all provided with connecting cylinders 8 through the guide rods 2. Please refer to Figure 2 , and a ball bearing 9 is installed on the surface of the connecting cylinder 8.

[0034] Rotating the adjusting rod 5 can drive the connecting shaft 4 to rotate, thereby driving the mounting block 6 to move, further driving the connecting plate 7 to move, and the connecting cylinder 8 will also drive the ball bearing 9 to move accordingly. Thus, the position of the ball bearing 9 can be adjusted, and corresponding changes can be made to the ball bearing 9 according to the position of the bracket of the belt conveyor, so as to avoid large deviations in the installation position of the ball bearing 9 from the bracket, ensure the smooth rotation of the turning roller, reduce the wear of the turning roller, extend the service life, and accurately transmit the turning torque.

[0035] Positioning blocks 10 are arranged at the outer ends of the guide rods 2. Please refer to Figure 5 , positioning holes 11 are evenly opened on both sides of the positioning block 10 and the outer ends of the guide rods 2. Positioning rods 12 are rotatably connected to the inner cavities of the positioning holes 11. Removing the positioning rods 12 from the positioning holes 11 can disassemble the positioning blocks 10 from the surface of the guide rods 2, thereby enabling the manipulation of the adjusting block 3;

[0036] Limiting grooves 13 are opened at the corresponding positions of the surface of the guide rod 2 and the connecting plate 7.

Both the adjusting block 3 and the positioning groove 17 are octagonal in design, and the positions and sizes of the adjusting block 3 and the positioning groove 17 are adapted to each other. By installing the adjusting block 3 on the surface of the guide rod 2, the positioning groove 17 can cover the surface of the adjusting block 3, thereby positioning the adjusting block 3 and preventing the adjusting block 3 from rotating further.

[0040] First, the positioning rod 12 is taken out of the positioning hole 11, and the positioning block 10 can be disassembled from the surface of the guide rod 2, so that the adjusting block 3 can be manipulated.
