Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of material conveying equipment, and in particular to a belt cleaning device for a bucket elevator and the bucket elevator. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of glass kilns, broken glass materials need to be transported through bucket elevators. During the transportation process, broken glass slag and glass dust will adhere to the belt of the bucket elevator, which will affect the service life of the belt. Therefore, a belt cleaning device is needed to clean the belt.

[0003] For example, the prior art proposes a belt conveyor cleaning device (CN 206485930 U) comprising a drive drum and a belt wrapped around the outside of the drive drum. The drive drum is rotatably mounted inside a collection hopper, and a slag hopper is fixed below the collection hopper. A belt conveyor cleaner is mounted inside the slag hopper. The belt conveyor cleaner includes a scraper mounted on the end of a bearing seat via a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is fixedly connected to one end of a connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to a tensioning device that can move up and down. Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: the adjustment mechanism is moved from below the drum to the outside of the collection hopper. When the polyurethane scraper needs to be adjusted, it can be operated from outside the collection hopper, which facilitates the operator's operation, improves work efficiency, and ensures operational safety.

[0004] During the operation of the bucket elevator, broken glass and glass dust will also adhere to the inner wall of the bucket elevator belt. Therefore, the scraper of the cleaning device needs to abut against the inner wall of the belt to scrape the belt to remove the broken glass and glass dust. However, if the scraper is always in contact with the belt during operation, the long-term friction between the scraper and the inner wall of the belt will also affect the life of the belt. Based on this, when the belt needs to be cleaned, the scraper can be abutted against the inner wall of the belt, and when the belt inner wall does not need to be cleaned, the scraper can be removed from the inner wall of the belt. That is, the scraper can be both in contact with the inner wall of the belt and removed from the inner wall of the belt. This is an issue that technicians in this field need to consider.

[0034] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0035] As mentioned in the background art above, broken glass and glass dust can adhere to the inner wall of a bucket elevator belt. Therefore, a cleaning device requires a scraper to abut against the inner wall of the belt to remove the broken glass and glass dust. However, if the scraper is constantly in contact with the belt during operation, the long-term friction between the scraper and the inner wall of the belt can also affect the life of the belt. Therefore, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to consider the need to abut the inner wall of the belt when cleaning is required and to remove the scraper from the inner wall when cleaning is not required. Therefore, the inventors of this application provide a bucket elevator belt cleaning device and a bucket elevator in one or more embodiments. The belt cleaning device includes a scraper movably disposed on a base, enabling the scraper to abut and separate from the inner wall of the belt. This allows the scraper to clean the inner wall of the belt while avoiding the problem of ineffective friction between the scraper and the inner wall that affects the belt life. This solves one or more problems in the prior art.

[0036] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems, the utility model provides a belt cleaning device for a bucket elevator, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes: a base 1, which includes two bases 1, and the two bases 1 are respectively mounted on two opposite inner walls of the bucket elevator shell 2; a cleaning mechanism, which includes two scrapers 3, and the length direction X of the scrapers 3 is parallel to the axial direction of the roller 4 of the bucket elevator. The two ends of each scraper 3 are slidably connected to the two bases 1 along the perpendicular direction Y of the length direction X, so that the two scrapers 3 can respectively abut on the two opposite inner walls of the bucket elevator belt 14 to remove the glass debris on the inner walls of the two belts 14.

[0037] Specifically, when broken glass and glass dust adhere to the inner wall of the bucket elevator belt 14, the two scrapers 3 move in opposite directions on the base 1 so that the two scrapers 3 respectively abut the two opposite inner walls of the belt 14. During operation, driven by the bucket elevator rollers 4, the belt 14 rotates around the two rollers 4, causing the scrapers 3 abutting the inner wall of the belt 14 to slide against the inner wall of the belt 14, thereby scraping off the broken glass and glass dust on the inner wall of the belt 14. When cleaning is completed, the two scrapers 3 move relative to each other on the base 1, thereby removing the scrapers 3 from the inner wall of the belt 14, avoiding the problem of ineffective friction between the scrapers 3 and the inner wall of the belt 14 and shortening the life of the belt 14. Furthermore, the control system can be used to periodically abut the scrapers 3 against the inner wall of the belt 14 for a fixed period of time, thereby achieving automatic cleaning and improving work efficiency.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the bucket elevator belt cleaning device and bucket elevator of the present application are movably arranged on the base 1 through the scraper 3, so that the scraper 3 and the inner wall of the belt 14 can both abut and separate, which plays a role in cleaning the inner wall of the belt 14 while avoiding the problem of ineffective friction between the scraper 3 and the inner wall of the belt 14 affecting the belt life.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a groove 5 is formed on the base 1 along the vertical direction Y, and a protrusion 6 is provided on the end of the scraper 3. The protrusion 6 is slidably disposed in the groove 5. The cooperation between the groove 5 and the protrusion 6 allows the scraper 3 to slide stably on the base 1. Furthermore, a stop bar can be provided at the end of the groove 5 to prevent the scraper 3 from sliding off the end of the groove 5. Specifically, the groove 5 can be a T-slot, and the protrusion 6 can be a T-block. The T-block cooperates with the T-slot to ensure that the protrusion 6 slides in the groove 5 while preventing the protrusion 6 from falling off the groove 5.

[0040] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the belt cleaning device further includes a drive mechanism 7, which is disposed on the base 1 and is used to drive the scraper 3 to move in the vertical direction Y. The drive mechanism 7 drives the scraper 3 to move on the base 1. Specifically, the drive mechanism 7 is connected to a control system, which manually or automatically instructs the drive mechanism 7 to operate.

[0041] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the drive mechanism 7 includes a cylinder 8, the driving end of which is connected to the end of the scraper 3. The cylinder 8 realizes the driving function of the drive mechanism 7. At the same time, the cylinder 8 also has a locking function. When the scraper 3 moves into position on the base 1, the cylinder 8 can lock the scraper 3 in the working position or the non-working position.

[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the scraper 3 includes a trough body 9 and a scraping strip 10. The scraping strip 10 is installed in the trough body 9. The protrusion 6 is connected to the end of the trough body 9. The scraping strip 10 can abut the inner wall of the belt 14. The movement of the scraper 3 on the base 1 is achieved by the trough body 9, the protrusion 6 and the groove 5, and the cleaning of the inner wall of the belt 14 is achieved by the scraping strip 10. Specifically, the connection method between the protrusion 6 and the end of the trough body 9 is not limited. It can be integrally formed or bolted. Furthermore, the scraping strip 10 can be made of a hard elastomer, which can not only achieve the scraping of the inner wall of the belt 14, but also avoid damaging the belt 14 during the scraping process. For example, the scraping strip 10 can be made of hard rubber.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the scraper strip 10 includes a mounting portion 11 and a wedge portion 12. The mounting portion 11 is disposed within the trough 9. The wedge portion 12 is connected to the mounting portion 11 and can abut the inner wall of the belt 14. The mounting portion 11 connects the scraper strip 10 to the trough 9. Specifically, the trough 9 has a T-shaped cross-section, and the mounting portion 11 is snapped into the T-shaped trough 9. The large-diameter end of the wedge portion 12 is connected to the mounting portion 11, and its sharp end extends into the trough 9 to abut the inner wall of the belt 14. Furthermore, the wedge portion 12 increases the friction between the scraper strip 10 and the belt 14, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 4-6 As shown, a removable plug 13 is provided at the end of the trough body 9, and the protrusion 6 is mounted on the plug 13. Providing a removable plug 13 at the end of the trough body 9 facilitates the installation of the scraper strip 10 on the trough body 9. Specifically, the mounting portion 11 at one end of the scraper strip 10 is inserted into the trough through the opening at one end of the trough body 9. After the mounting portion 11 is fully inserted into the trough body 9, the plug 13 is then installed on the end of the trough body 9.

[0045] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 11 is detachably disposed in the tank body 9. The mounting portion 11 is detachably connected to the tank body 9, which facilitates replacement of the scraper strip 10.

[0046] The utility model also provides a bucket elevator, comprising the belt cleaning device of the bucket elevator.

[0047] In some embodiments, the belt cleaning device includes multiple belt cleaning devices, and the multiple belt cleaning devices are distributed along the vertical direction Z. The multiple belt cleaning devices further improve the cleaning effect of the inner wall of the belt 14.

[0048] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present disclosure provides a belt cleaning device for a bucket elevator and a bucket elevator, wherein the belt cleaning device is movably arranged on the base 1 by the scraper 3, so that the scraper 3 and the inner wall of the belt 14 can both abut and separate, thereby playing the role of cleaning the inner wall of the belt 14 while avoiding the problem of ineffective friction between the scraper 3 and the inner wall of the belt 14 affecting the belt life; the scraper 3 can be used to slide stably on the base 1 through the cooperation of the groove 5 and the ridge 6; the movement of the scraper 3 on the base 1 is achieved by the driving mechanism 7; the movement of the scraper 3 on the base 1 is achieved by the groove body 9, the ridge 6 and the groove 5, and the cleaning of the inner wall of the belt 14 is achieved by the scraper 10; the friction between the scraper 10 and the belt 14 is increased by the sharp wedge, thereby improving the cleaning effect; and the disassembly and assembly of the scraper 10 on the groove body 9 is facilitated by the plug 13.
