[0003] In the production process of metallurgical furnaces, concentrates and auxiliary materials are mostly transported from the concentrate storage to the smelting plant using belt conveyors. During the transportation process, the materials are often accompanied by debris such as woven bags, rubber, and cotton yarn and textile thread generated during maintenance. Once these debris enter the smelting system, they can cause blockage of the silo pumps of the smelting system's auxiliary equipment and large fluctuations in the metering equipment. In severe cases, this can cause process personnel to make incorrect adjustments to the furnace conditions, and even lead to production suspension and maintenance. Existing slag removal equipment does not handle debris thoroughly, and manual assistance is required to clean the debris, which is labor-intensive. In addition, the belt corridor is very dusty, and frequent and long-term work in this area can have a significant impact on the physical condition of personnel. In view of the current problems of difficult and incomplete cleaning of debris from belt conveyors, high manual labor intensity, and the significant impact of long-term dust inhalation on personnel's health, there is an urgent need to design an automatic debris cleaning device for belt conveyors to solve the above problems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0018] An automatic debris removal device for a belt conveyor includes a frame 1, a belt conveyor 2, a debris removal device drive motor 3, a cylinder 4, a debris removal device 5, and a debris removal plate 6. The debris removal device 5 is fixed to the frame 1 via a fixed bracket (e.g., a channel steel) and is located above the belt conveyor 2. The debris removal device 5 includes a rotating shaft 9, a debris removal device body 10, and multiple hooks 11. When the belt conveyor 2 conveys material, the debris removal device 5 rotates, allowing the hooks 11 to remove debris from the belt conveyor 2. The debris removal device drive motor 3 is fixed to the fixed bracket and connected to the rotating shaft 9 of the debris removal device 5 via a coupling. The rotating shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the debris removal device body 10, and the ends of the rotating shaft 9 are assembled with bearings mounted on the fixed bracket to support the debris removal device 5. The debris removal device body 10 can be cylindrical in shape. In one embodiment, the debris removal device body 10 can also be shaped as a symmetrical frustum with smaller ends and a larger center, or other suitable shapes, depending on the material feeding shape of the belt conveyor 2. The hooks 11 are arranged on the circumference of the main body 10 of the debris remover. The hooks 11 are spaced apart on the main body 10 at regular intervals, and the spacing can be adjusted based on the desired debris removal effect. The hooks 11 can also be arranged in rows spaced apart based on the amount of debris. In one embodiment, the hooks 11 can be arranged in five rows on the circumference of the main body 10. The number of hooks 11 can also be reduced or increased, or the arrangement of the hooks 11 can be modified, based on the shape and quantity of debris in the feed.
[0019] The cleaning plate 6 is fixed to the frame 1 and is located above the belt conveyor 2. The cleaning plate 6 has an inclined surface adjacent to the cleaner 5. A plurality of parallel cleaning blades 6-1 are provided at one end of the inclined surface close to the cleaner 5. A plurality of cleaning grooves 6-2 are formed between the plurality of parallel cleaning blades 6-1. The plurality of cleaning grooves 6-2 allow the hooks 11 to pass through the cleaning plate 6. The cleaning blades 6-1 can separate debris such as long woven bags hung on the two hooks 11, ensuring that the debris can smoothly fall onto the cleaning plate 6 and that the hooks 11 can smoothly pass through the cleaning plate 6.
[0020] In one embodiment, the debris cleaning plate 6 further includes a plane adjacent to the inclined surface, one end of the plane is provided with a debris discharge port 6 - 3 , a chute 7 is connected below the debris discharge port 6 - 3 , and a debris bucket 8 is arranged below the chute 7 .
[0021] In one embodiment, a cylinder 4 is provided at the other end of the plane of the cleaning plate 6, and a push plate 12 is fixed to the front end of the push rod of the cylinder 4. When the scraped debris passes through the inclined surface of the cleaning plate 6 and reaches the plane of the cleaning plate 6, the cylinder 4 can push the debris into the dumping port 6-3, enter the chute 7, and then connect to the debris bucket 8 for regular cleaning.
[0022] Working process:
[0023] When the belt conveyor 2 begins conveying material, the dust collector drive motor 3 rotates the dust collector 5. The hook 11 on the dust collector 5 enters the material and removes debris from the material. As the dust collector 5 rotates, the debris on the hook 11 is carried to the contact surface of the dust collector plate 6 and the dust collector 5. The debris slides onto the dust collector plate 6, and the cylinder 4 activates the push plate 12, pushing the debris into the dust removal port 6-3. The debris then flows through the chute 7 into the dust bin 8. If the debris is too long or hangs between the two hooks 11, the debris is cut off by the slag blade 6-1 on the dust collector plate 6, and the debris is removed. This device can thoroughly clean debris such as woven bags on the belt conveyor and automatically push the debris from the material into the dust removal chute, greatly reducing manual intervention and labor costs. It also avoids long-term work in high dust concentrations, greatly improving the workers' working environment.
