Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of belt conveyor equipment accessories, and specifically relates to a trough-shaped automatic centering idler for a belt conveyor. Background Technique

[0002] The trough-shaped automatic centering idler, also known as the trough-shaped centering idler, is mainly used for the load-side support of a belt conveyor, and can automatically adjust the deviation of the conveyor belt, preventing it from snaking, so as to ensure the stable operation of the conveyor belt. The trough-shaped design of this idler can better adapt to the shape of the conveyor belt, providing a larger support area and stability;

[0003] For example, the utility model patent with the publication number of CN2373414Y discloses an automatic centering screw idler, which is composed of a trough-shaped idler, a parallel idler, a trough-shaped bracket 4 for supporting the trough-shaped idler, and a lower idler hanger 5 for fixing the parallel idler. The trough-shaped idler is fixed on the trough-shaped bracket 4 to form a groove shape. The lower idler hanger 5 is installed at the lower part of the trough-shaped bracket 4 to fix the parallel idler. The surfaces of the two side idlers of the trough-shaped idler and the parallel idler are respectively made into positive and reverse rotation threads along their center lines to automatically balance the centripetal thrust and achieve the automatic deviation adjustment function, which is applicable to the automatic deviation adjustment of a belt conveyor. However, there is a problem that the conveyor belt will have irregular friction with the trough-shaped idler for a long time during the conveying process, which will reduce the service life of the conveyor belt and further reduce the conveying efficiency of the conveyor belt. For this reason, we propose a trough-shaped automatic centering idler for a belt conveyor. Content of the Utility Model
