Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of chain scraper conveyors, in particular to a chain scraper conveyor curved conveying box with an automatic adjustment tensioning device. Background Art

[0002] Chain scraper is a conventional conveying equipment, which is widely used in the conveying of various bulk materials. For example, in the field of grain storage, chain scraper is usually used for conveying bulk grain materials.

[0003] The basic structure of a chain scraper is a frame with a front sprocket and a rear sprocket mounted on it. The front sprocket is a motor-driven active sprocket, and a chain is wound around the front and rear sprockets. A scraper is attached to the chain. The chain portion above the front and rear sprockets is usually called the upper chain, while the chain portion below the front and rear sprockets is called the lower chain. During normal operation, the chain rotates in a circular motion driven by the front sprocket, and the upper chain and scraper transport the grain from back to front within the trough.

[0004] The problem with the existing chain scraper is that in order to reduce energy consumption, the current scraper mostly uses lightweight chains. Therefore, when the scraper conveys grain in the curved section, due to the insufficient weight of the chain, the chain will not sag in the curved section of the scraper but will easily flip up and collide with the internal structure of the scraper, reducing the conveying efficiency of the chain scraper and increasing the maintenance cost of the chain scraper.

The bottom of the intermediate wear plate is used to contact and cooperate with the upper end of the lower chain, and a spring is provided between the left wear-resistant upper lining plate, the right wear-resistant upper lining plate and the intermediate wear plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the box is an arc-shaped inner cavity consistent with the arc of the chain conveyor.

[0009] Furthermore, the top plate and the bottom plate are arranged horizontally, the top plate and the bottom plate are arc-shaped plates, and the side plates are arc-shaped plates with axes extending in the up-down direction.

The chain portion on the upper side of the front sprocket and the rear sprocket is usually called an upper chain 11, and the chain portion on the lower side of the front sprocket and the rear sprocket is called a lower chain 12, and the scraper connected to the upper chain is called a scraper 13 on the upper chain.

[0026] The curved conveying box of the chain scraper includes a box body, which includes a top plate 1, a bottom plate 4 and side plates arranged between the left and right ends of the top plate and the left and right ends of the bottom plate, that is, the side plates include a left side plate 2 arranged between the left end of the top plate and the left end of the bottom plate and a right side plate 3 arranged between the right end of the top plate and the right end of the bottom plate. The top plate, the bottom plate and the side plates form an inner cavity of the box for the upper chain and the lower chain to pass through in the front-to-back direction. In this embodiment, the box body is suitable for the curved conveying section of the chain scraper, so the box body is an arc-shaped structure as a whole, and the inner circle of the box is an arc-shaped inner cavity consistent with the arc of the chain conveying. The top plate and the bottom plate are arranged horizontally, the top plate and the bottom plate are arc-shaped plates, and the side plates are arc-shaped plates with axes extending in the up-down direction.

[0027] A side panel lining 5 is fixed to the right side of the left side panel and the left side of the right side panel. A plurality of support rods 8 arranged at intervals along the front-to-back direction are fixed between the left side panel and the right side panel. The support rods 8 are located on the upper side of the side panel lining.

[0028] A left guide plate 7-1 and a right guide plate 7-2 are fixed on the support rod at intervals on the left and right.
