[0022] In this embodiment 1,

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model provides a gravity belt tensioning mechanism of a bucket elevator, comprising an elevator body 1 and a belt tensioning device 2 arranged on the elevator body 1, the belt tensioning device 2 comprising a tensioning box assembly 3, a counterweight box 4 and a connecting beam assembly 5 arranged on both sides of the elevator body 1; the counterweight box 4 is provided with the upper end of the connecting beam assembly 5; the connecting beam assembly 5 is provided at the upper end of the elevator body 1 and connected to both sides of the tensioning box assembly 3; guide frames 6 are provided on both sides of the tensioning box assembly 3 along the upper edge of the elevator body 1; guide rails 7 are provided on the wire frame; the tensioning box assembly 3 moves up and down in cooperation with the guide rails 7 through the counterweight box 4 and the support beam assembly.

[0024] By arranging the tensioning box assembly 3, the counterweight box 4, and the connecting beam assembly 5 on both sides of the hoist body 1, and providing the guide frame 6 and the guide rail 7 on the hoist body 1, the tensioning box assembly 3 can move up and down in coordination with the guide rail 7 through the counterweight box 4 and the supporting beam assembly. This achieves automatic adjustment of the belt tension, ensuring that the belt tension is always in an appropriate state under different working conditions of the hoist, and improving the stability and reliability of the hoist operation.

[0025] The tensioning box assembly 3 includes a box body 8 and an axle seat 9 arranged in the box body 8; the box body 8 includes an upper support plate 81, a lower support plate 82, a back plate 83 and side plates 84 on both sides; a fixed support plate 10 is provided in the box body 8; the axle seat 9 is set on the back plate 83 through the fixed support plate 10; the box body 8 cooperates with the guide rail 7 to move up and down through the side plates 84 arranged on both sides of the box body 8.

[0026] The tension box assembly 3 includes a box body 8 comprising an upper support plate 81, a lower support plate 82, a back plate 83, and side plates 84. A shaft seat 9 and a fixed support plate 10 are provided within the box body 8, allowing the box body 8 to move up and down in coordination with the guide rails 7 via the side plates 84. This design makes the tension box assembly 3 more stable, operates more smoothly, and can accurately respond to changes in tension, thereby improving accuracy and reliability.

[0027] The connecting beam assembly 5 includes a fixed support 11 and a connecting beam; the counterweight box 4 is arranged on the fixed support 11; the fixed beam 12 is arranged at the lower end of the fixed support 11 and connects the side plates 84 on both sides of the box body 8.

[0028] The fixed support 11 is provided to provide a fixed platform for the counterweight box 4. The installation of the counterweight box 4 is more stable, and the fixed beam 12 can effectively transmit force and movement, ensuring the stable up and down movement of the tensioning box assembly 3, thereby enhancing stability and reliability.

[0029] The elevator body 1 is provided with a rotating shaft 14 and a roller 13 arranged on the rotating shaft 14; the elevator body 1 is provided with a guide opening 15 for cooperating with the up and down movement of the rotating shaft 14; the two ends of the rotating shaft 14 pass through the box body 8 through the guide opening 15 and are connected to the shaft seat 9.

[0030] A roller 13 and a rotating shaft 14 mounted on the roller 13 are disposed within the elevator body 1. A guide opening 15 is provided on the elevator body 1 to coordinate with the up and down movement of the rotating shaft 14. The two ends of the rotating shaft 14 pass through the guide opening 15 and pass through the box body 8 to connect to the shaft seat 9. This arrangement effectively connects and coordinates the internal components of the elevator with the tensioning box assembly 3, allowing the belt tension adjustment to closely coordinate with the operating state of the elevator, thereby improving overall operating efficiency and stability.

[0031] A limiting unit 16 is provided on the hoist body 1 ; the limiting unit 16 includes a first limiting support plate 17 and a second limiting support plate 18 ; the first limiting support plate 17 is provided at the upper end of the box body 8 , and the second limiting support plate 18 is provided at the lower end of the box body 8 .

[0032] A limiting unit 16 comprising a first limiting support plate 17 and a second limiting support plate 18 is provided on the hoist body 1, respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends of the box body 8. This effectively limits the range of movement of the tensioning box assembly 3, preventing malfunction or damage caused by excessive movement, ensuring that tensioning adjustment is performed within a safe and reliable range, and improving the safety and stability of the equipment.

[0033] The upper support plate 81 is provided with a screw 19 ; the screw 19 is provided with a limiting nut 20 and a tensioning support plate 21 arranged between the fixed beams 12 ; the box body 8 is adjusted up and down by the screw 19 in conjunction with the limiting nut 20 and the tensioning support plate 21 .

[0034] By inserting a screw rod 19 through the upper support plate 81, and providing a limit nut 20 and a tension support plate 21 on the screw rod 19, the box body 8 can be moved up and down by manually adjusting the screw rod 19. At the same time, the tension support plate 21 and the limit nut 20 limit the position of the screw rod 19. This adjustable design increases the flexibility and precision of the tension adjustment, allowing for more precise adjustment of the tension force according to actual needs to adapt to different working requirements and conditions.

[0035] The hoist body 1 is further provided with a pressing block 22 corresponding to the fixed support 11 .

[0036] A pressure block 22 corresponding to the fixed support 11 is provided on the hoist body 1. This effectively prevents the fixed support 11 from compressing and deforming the hoist body 1 when it descends, further improving the reliability and stability of the entire tensioning mechanism.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the working principle of the present invention is as follows: when the belt is in a loose state, the counterweight box 4 is pressed downward by gravity, driving the fixed support 11 and the connecting beam connected to the fixed support 11 to move downward, and the box body 8 moves downward through the connecting beam, and then the side plates 84 on both sides of the box body 8 cooperate with the guide rails 7 on both sides of the guide frame 6 to move downward. At the same time, the two ends of the rotating shaft 14 are respectively connected to the shaft seats 9 in the box body 8 on both sides of the elevator body 1, so that the rotating shaft 14 moves downward along the guide opening 15. The belt is set on the rotating shaft 14 and is pressed downward by gravity, thereby realizing self-adjustment of the belt tension, ensuring that the belt tension of the elevator is always in an appropriate state under different working conditions, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the elevator operation.

[0038] In this embodiment 2, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, when the belt is in a loose state, the box body 8 can be moved downward along the guide rail 7 by adjusting the screws 19 on both sides, and then the belt in the elevator body 1 can be manually tensioned by tightening the limit nut 20 and the tensioning support plate 21.
