Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of belt conveyors, in particular to a belt deviation correction and tensioning mechanism of a high-speed belt conveyor used for tobacco impurity removal. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the commonly used belt-type tobacco foreign body intelligent removal system primarily consists of a high-speed belt conveyor for spreading and feeding tobacco, a foreign body identification and detection device, and a foreign body removal device. To improve foreign body identification and removal rates while maintaining a certain production capacity, tobacco must be passed through the foreign body identification and detection device in a uniform, stable, thin, and high-speed manner. Therefore, the belt conveyor, as the tobacco feed carrier, is typically set at a relatively high speed (typically 5-7 m / s). Due to manufacturing and assembly errors, belt deviation is inevitable during operation. If the deviation exceeds a certain range, is not promptly corrected, and the belt speed is high, the belt will quickly rub against other side structures and wear. In severe cases, the belt may tear, causing equipment downtime and production suspension. Therefore, belt conveyors are generally equipped with belt deviation correction devices.

[0003] The belt deviation correction devices commonly used in the market currently mainly achieve belt deviation correction by manually adjusting the tensioning screws on both sides of the belt. The disadvantages are: the deviation correction adjustment needs to be performed when the machine is stopped; it can only be adjusted in manual mode; manual supervision is required; the deviation correction adjustment accuracy can only be controlled within about ±5mm, and it is easy to repeat; through uninterrupted manual observation and processing, the adjustment speed is obviously slow, not easy to achieve in time, and it is easy to cause fatigue.

[0032] The main unit 100 includes a left main frame 103 and a right main frame 104. A main driving roller 101 is provided between the left main frame 103 and the right main frame 104.

A left sliding bearing seat 109 and a right fixed bearing seat 110 are respectively provided on the left fixed plate 106 and the right fixed plate 107. The two ends of the main driving drum 101 are respectively assembled and connected with the left sliding bearing seat 109 and the right fixed bearing seat 110 through a self-aligning bearing assembly 111. Two rectangular guide grooves are provided on the left sliding bearing seat 109, each of which is provided with a sliding guide rail 113.

[0034] Among them, the two sets of self-aligning bearing assemblies 111 both include self-aligning bearings and locking cone sleeves. The inner ring of each self-aligning bearing is fixedly mounted on the outer ring of the locking cone sleeve. The two inner rings of the locking cone sleeves are respectively mounted on the two ends of the main drive roller 101. The outer ring of each self-aligning bearing is respectively fixedly mounted on the left sliding bearing seat 109 and the right fixed bearing seat 110.

[0039] Working principle: When replacing a new belt, first loosen the belt body 102, and adjust the two sets of belt tensioning adjustment screws 105 on the left and right sides respectively, so that the axial center line of the main drive roller 101 and the planes of the left main frame 103 and the right main frame 104 are perpendicular, and the extension stroke of the screw of the linear drive servo electric cylinder 201 is in the middle position;

[0040] Appropriately tension the belt body 102, measure the center distances from both ends of the main drive roller 101 to both ends of the passive roller (simplified figures in the specification are not shown), analyze and compare the difference between the two sets of data, and adjust the belt tensioning adjustment screws 105 on both sides again to make the two sets of data the same, that is, ensure that the axial center lines of the main and passive rollers are parallel and the belt body 102 is in a tensioned state;

[0041] When the machine is turned on, if the belt body 102 deviates to the left by 5mm during operation, the optical sensor 114 on the left side of the belt body 102 immediately senses this deviation and sends a signal to the PLC control system (not shown in the drawings of the specification) to adjust the deviation. After receiving this signal, the PLC will send an instruction to the linear drive servo electric cylinder 201 to retract its screw rod by a certain amount, pull the connecting rod 202, and make the left sliding bearing seat 109 slide forward along the length direction of the sliding guide rail 113 with the adjustment sliding end of the main drive roller 101, generating a front angular displacement, thereby realizing the belt left side correction adjustment; if the belt body 102 deviates to the right by 5mm during operation, the optical sensor 114 on the right side senses this deviation, and the linear drive servo electric cylinder 201 screw rod extends backward, pushing the connecting rod 202, generating a rear angular displacement, thereby realizing the belt right side correction adjustment. The content not described in detail in this description belongs to the existing technology known to professional and technical personnel in this field.

[0042] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all of these should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
