After the sweeper seat 2 passes through the reserved hole on the connecting seat 3, its position is fixed by two sets of screws facing each other, which is convenient for adjusting the installation position of the mechanical part of the hydraulic sweeper on the conveyor.

[0019] The electric control part includes a hydraulic cylinder 8, an accumulator 9, a solenoid valve 10, a PLC local control box 11, and a hydraulic station 12. The hydraulic cylinder 8 is installed at a specified position by bolts and abuts against the adjusting rod of the connecting seat 3, and then is connected to the accumulator 9 to ensure accurate and constant control of the positive pressure of the scraper 1 contacting the belt. Then, in sequence, there are the solenoid valve 10, the PLC local control box 11, and the hydraulic station 12. The solenoid valve 10 is responsible for starting and stopping, the PLC local control box 11 controls the solenoid valve 10, and the hydraulic station 12 is responsible for converting mechanical energy into hydraulic energy, providing hydraulic power for the hydraulic sweeper, and playing a safety protection role.

[0020] The adjusting rod can drive the sweeper seat 2 to rotate a certain angle, thereby adjusting the contact area and pressure between the scraper 1 and the belt.

[0021] The sensing part includes a pressure sensor 4, a torque sensor 5, a temperature sensor 6, and an inductive proximity sensor 7 installed on the connecting seat 3. The above sensors are all electrically connected to the PLC local control box 11.

The open-type oil tank is provided with an air filter, and a filter is provided in the system circuit, and the filter is equipped with a pollution indicator.

[0023] Such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the pressure sensor 4, the torque sensor 5, the temperature sensor 6, and the inductive proximity sensor 7 are respectively connected to the PLC local control box 11 through signal lines.
