[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a chain - off prevention detection device for a tube - chain conveyor includes a chain 1, a sprocket 2, and a box body 3. A plurality of chain plates 4 are installed on the chain 1 at intervals. In the normal state (non - chain - off state), the chain plates 4 are in contact with the chain scraper 5. One end of the chain scraper 5 is rotatably installed on the box body 3 through a rotating shaft 10, and a torsion spring 9 is installed on the rotating shaft 10. When the chain scraper 5 is separated from the chain plate 4, the chain scraper 5 can be reset by the torsion spring 9. The other end of the chain scraper 5 abuts against the induction guide rod 6. A guide sleeve 8 is installed on the top of the box body 3. A spring is installed on the induction guide rod 6 and passes through the round hole on the top of the box body 3 and the guide sleeve 8. A sensor 7 is installed above the induction guide rod 6.

[0027] In one embodiment, the side of the chain scraper 5 that fits against the chain plate 4 has an arc surface that is tangent to the chain plate 4, thus facilitating the fit with the chain plate 4.

[0028] In one embodiment, the sensor 7 can be a contact sensor or a non-contact sensor according to the specific usage situation. The signal of the sensor 7 can be fed back to the central control room and interlocked with the motor signal.

[0029] In one embodiment, in order to reduce friction, a roller 11 is installed at one end of the induction guide rod 6 that abuts against the chain scraper 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the chain 1 is in the correct position, the chain scraper 5 fits against the chain plate 4, and the sensor 7 can sense the signal of the induction guide rod 6 (if the sensor 7 is a contact sensor, at this time the induction guide rod 6 is in contact with the sensor 7; if the sensor 7 is a non-contact sensor, at this time the induction guide rod 6 is within the sensing distance of the sensor 7). At this time, the spring on the induction guide rod 6 is in a compressed state; when the chain scraper 5 is in an incorrect position (i.e., when the chain is off the track), the chain scraper 5 is separated from the chain plate 4, and the chain scraper 5 is reset under the action of the torsion spring 9, that is, one end of the chain scraper 5 that abuts against the induction guide rod 6 moves downward. At this time, the induction guide rod 6 also moves downward under the action of the spring, and the sensor 7 cannot detect the displacement signal of the induction guide rod 6. At this time, the sensor 7 feeds back the signal to the central control room and the motor, and the motor stops under the start-stop interlock signal. After receiving the feedback signal, the central control room arranges for maintenance. Therefore, the function can timely detect and handle the fault of the chain off the track, reduce the further damage degree of the equipment when the equipment fails and stops, and reduce the economic loss.

[0031] Embodiment 2

[0032] As Figure 4 and 5 shown, a chain conveyor anti-derailment detection device includes a chain 1, a sprocket 2, and a box body 3. A number of chain plates 4 are installed at intervals on the chain 1. In the normal state (when the chain is not derailed), the chain plate 4 is in contact with the chain scraper 5; one end of the chain scraper 5 is rotatably installed on the box body 3 through a rotating shaft 10, and a torsion spring 9 is installed on the rotating shaft 10 and can be reset through the torsion spring 9. A connecting plate is installed at the top of the other end of the chain scraper 5, and a waist-shaped hole is opened on the connecting plate. The induction guide rod 6 is installed in the waist-shaped hole through a pin shaft so as to slide in the waist-shaped hole. A guide sleeve 8 is installed on the top of the box body 3, and the induction guide rod 6 passes through the guide sleeve 8 and the top of the box body 3. A sensor 7 is installed above the induction guide rod 6.

[0033] In one embodiment, the side of the chain scraper 5 that fits against the chain plate 4 has an arc surface that is tangent to the chain plate 4, thus facilitating the fit with the chain plate 4.

[0034] In one embodiment, the sensor 7 can be a contact sensor or a non-contact sensor according to the specific usage. The signal of the sensor 7 can be fed back to the central control room and interlocked with the motor signal.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the chain 1 is in the correct position, the chain scraper 5 fits against the chain plate 4, and the sensor 7 can sense the signal of the induction rod 6 (if the sensor 7 is a contact sensor, the induction rod 6 is in contact with the sensor 7 at this time; if the sensor 7 is a non-contact sensor, the induction rod 6 is within the sensing distance of the sensor 7). When the chain scraper 5 is in an incorrect position (i.e., derailed), the chain scraper 5 is separated from the chain plate 4, and the chain scraper 5 is reset under the action of the torsion spring 9, that is, the chain scraper 5 presses against one end of the induction rod 6 and moves downward, thereby driving the induction rod 6 to move downward. The sensor 7 cannot detect the displacement signal of the induction rod 6. At this time, the signal is fed back to the central control room and the motor through the sensor 7, and the motor stops under the start-stop interlock signal. After receiving the feedback signal, the central control room arranges maintenance. Therefore, the function can timely detect and handle the fault of chain derailment, reduce the further damage degree of the equipment when the equipment fails and stops, and reduce the economic loss.

[0036] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains can also make changes and modifications to the above embodiment. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and any obvious improvements, substitutions or variations made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
