[0002] In fully mechanized coal mining operations, the scraper chain of a scraper conveyor, connected by a nose and tail sprockets, forms a closed transmission system responsible for transporting coal. After the chain is connected, a certain preload must be applied to the scraper chain. This is achieved by telescoping the nose or tail sprockets to push the chain and apply tension.
[0003] In the prior art, the Chinese patent application number is 202110634310.9, entitled "A Single-Cylinder Built-in Telescopic Tail and Chute Scraper Transfer Machine," which discloses a structure utilizing a telescopic tail to tighten a chain: slideways are provided on the side panels of the tail frame, and the movable frame is installed into the tail frame from the rear through the slideways; connecting plates are provided on both sides of the slideways, and the connecting plates are provided with a plurality of equidistant positioning pin holes; sliders are provided on both sides of the movable frame, and the sliders slide on the slideways on both sides of the tail frame, and connecting plates are provided on the sliders, and the connecting plates and the sliders are welded together, and a plurality of equidistant positioning pin holes are arranged on the connecting plates. When the movable frame telescopically slides, the positioning pin holes on the connecting plates coincide with the positioning pin holes on the connecting plates, and the positioning pins are inserted to fix the tail frame and the movable frame. This telescopic method of locking with a cylinder inserting a positioning pin has a limit on the minimum adjustment length due to the limitation of the distance between adjacent pin holes, and cannot achieve stepless adjustment of the chain length.
[0004] However, for short-distance, high-power scraper conveyors, the chain is large in size, rigid, and has very limited retractable range. Therefore, it is necessary to achieve stepless adjustment of the chain length. The structure of the telescopic tail tightening chain mentioned above cannot meet the requirements.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0028] The embodiment of the present utility model discloses Figure 1 The telescopic tail of the scraper conveyor shown in the figure includes a movable frame 1 and a fixed frame 2. A tail sprocket assembly 5 is installed on the movable frame 1. A sliding groove 201 is provided on the fixed frame 2 and is arranged parallel to the scraper chain. Both ends of the movable frame 1 are slidably installed in the sliding groove 201. A self-locking telescopic cylinder 3 is installed between the movable frame 1 and the fixed frame 2. The self-locking telescopic cylinder 3 can push the movable frame 1 to move along the sliding groove 201. When the movable frame 1 drives the tail sprocket assembly 5 to move to a predetermined position, the self-locking telescopic cylinder 3 is self-locking.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the self-locking telescopic oil cylinder 3 includes a cylinder body 301, a piston rod 302 and a piston 303. The bottom end of the piston rod 302 is fixedly connected to the piston 303. The piston rod 302 and the piston 303 separate the inner cavity of the cylinder body 301 into a liquid inlet cavity 3031 and a liquid return cavity 3032. The cylinder body 301 is provided with a liquid inlet 3033 and a liquid return cavity 3034. The liquid inlet 3033 is connected to the liquid inlet cavity 3031, and the liquid return cavity 3034 is connected to the liquid return cavity 3032.
[0030] The upper portion of the piston rod 302 is provided as a threaded section, and the threaded section of the piston rod 302 is threadedly connected to a locking nut 4 , which is located above the cylinder body 301 .
[0031] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the fixed frame 2 includes a fixed side plate 200 , a sliding groove 201 is provided on the fixed side plate 200 , and the sliding groove 201 is arranged parallel to the scraper chain.
[0032] In some embodiments, the fixed frame 2 is fixed with a first connecting ear 202, the movable frame 1 is fixed with a second connecting ear 203, one end of the self-locking telescopic cylinder 3 is hinged to the first connecting ear 202, and the extended end of the piston rod 302 is hinged to the second connecting ear 203.
[0033] In some embodiments, a cylinder connecting ear 3011 is provided at the bottom end of the cylinder body 301, and a piston rod connecting ear 3021 is provided at the protruding end of the piston rod 302. Corresponding first pin holes are provided on the cylinder connecting ear 3011 and the first connecting ear 202, and corresponding second pin holes are provided on the hinge of the piston rod connecting ear 3021 and the second connecting ear 203. The first connecting pin passes through the first pin hole to connect the cylinder connecting ear 3011 and the first connecting ear 202 on the fixed frame 2, and the second connecting pin passes through the second pin hole to connect the piston rod connecting ear 3021 and the second connecting ear 203 on the movable frame 1.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, after the hydraulic pump station supplies liquid to the self-locking telescopic oil cylinder 3, the liquid enters the liquid inlet chamber 3031 from the liquid inlet port 3033. The liquid in the liquid inlet chamber 3031 pushes the piston rod 302 to extend, and the piston rod 302 pushes the movable frame 1 to move along the sliding groove 201 of the fixed frame 2. When the movable frame 1 drives the tail sprocket assembly 5 to move to the predetermined position, the locking nut 4 is rotated to the top of the cylinder body 301, and the piston rod 302 of the self-locking telescopic oil cylinder 3 is restrained in the predetermined position, thereby self-locking the self-locking telescopic oil cylinder 3. After the self-locking telescopic oil cylinder 3 is depressurized, the piston rod 302 of the self-locking telescopic oil cylinder 3 is restrained in the predetermined position due to the tightening effect of the locking nut 4, and the self-locking telescopic oil cylinder 3 is self-locking. And because the threaded section of the piston rod 302 is threadedly connected to the locking nut 4, the position of the locking nut 4 on the threaded section of the piston rod 302 can be adjusted, and the extension amount of the piston rod 302 can be adjusted arbitrarily, realizing stepless adjustment and a wide range of applications.
[0035] In some embodiments, a seal 6 is provided between the inner cavity of the cylinder body 301 and the piston rod 302 , and the seal 6 is located in the liquid return cavity 3032 .

[0037] A tongue plate 101 is fixed to the movable frame 1, and the tongue plate 101 is connected to the derailleur assembly. When the self-locking telescopic oil cylinder 3 pushes the movable frame 1 to move, the tail sprocket assembly 5, the tongue plate 101 and the derailleur and other components move with the movable frame 1 to complete the chain tightening task.
[0038] The working principle of the telescopic tail of the scraper conveyor of this utility model is as follows:
[0039] When the chain is loose, the hydraulic pump station supplies fluid to the self-locking telescopic oil cylinder 3, and the piston rod 302 pushes the movable frame 1 to move along the sliding groove 201 of the fixed frame 2. When the movable frame 1 drives the tail sprocket assembly 5 to move to the predetermined position, the chain is tightened, and the locking nut 4 is rotated to the top of the cylinder 301. The piston rod 302 of the self-locking telescopic oil cylinder 3 is restricted to the predetermined position, thereby self-locking the self-locking telescopic oil cylinder 3. After the pressure in the self-locking telescopic oil cylinder 3 is relieved, the piston rod 302 of the self-locking telescopic oil cylinder 3 is restricted to the predetermined position due to the tightening effect of the locking nut 4. The self-locking telescopic oil cylinder 3 is self-locking and prevents the chain from loosening.
[0040] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that various changes made thereto in form and details fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims of the present invention.
