[0021] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0022] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification. Example 1

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the utility model provides an anti-reversal device for a bucket elevator, comprising an elevator body 1 and a driving device 2 installed on the elevator body 1, a conveyor chain for lifting and conveying materials is installed in the elevator body 1, an anti-reversal component 3 for preventing the conveyor chain from reversing is provided on the side of the elevator body 1 away from the driving device 2, sprocket shafts are installed on the inner wall of the elevator body 1 near the feed port and the discharge port, the conveyor chain is sleeved on the two sprocket shafts, the output end of the driving device 2 is connected to one of the sprocket shafts through a coupling, and the side of the sprocket shaft away from the driving device 2 is fixed to the anti-reversal component 3, a support plate 11 is installed on the side wall of the elevator body 1, and the driving device 2 is installed on the support plate 11;

[0024] Specifically, when in use, the driving device 2 is started, and the conveying chain in the elevator body 1 is driven to rotate by the driving device 2. When the conveying chain is running, the material enters through the feed port and is lifted upward by the action of the conveying chain and discharged through the discharge port;

[0025] When the driving device 2 fails or stops, the anti-reversal component 3 can prevent the conveyor chain from reversing, avoiding further damage to the equipment;

[0026] In this embodiment, the anti-reversal assembly 3 includes a ratchet 31, a synchronous shaft is fixedly connected to the ratchet 31, the synchronous shaft is rotatably connected to the hoist body 1, and the end of the synchronous shaft away from the ratchet 31 passes through the hoist body 1 and extends to the inside of the hoist body 1, the extended end of the synchronous shaft is fixed to the adjacent sprocket shaft in the hoist body 1, the anti-reversal assembly 3 also includes a round shaft 32 and a tooth block 33, the round shaft 32 is installed on the side of the hoist body 1 close to the ratchet 31, and the round shaft 32 is installed on the ratchet 31. Above the gear block 33, the gear block 33 is rotatably connected to the circular shaft 32, and the gear block 33 is engaged with the adjacent helical teeth on the ratchet 31. A fixing rod 35 is also installed on one side of the circular shaft 32, and a return spring 36 is installed on the fixing rod 35. The other end of the return spring 36 is fixed to the gear block 33. A needle pin 37 for preventing the gear block 33 from falling off is also provided on the circular shaft 32. A gasket 34 is provided between the gear block 33 and the needle pin 37. The direction of the helical teeth on the ratchet 31 is the same as the running direction of the conveyor chain in the elevator body 1;

[0027] Specifically, when the driving device 2 operates normally, the driving device 2 drives one of the sprocket shafts to rotate, and drives the other sprocket shaft to rotate through the conveyor chain, so that the conveyor chain runs on the two sprocket shafts to transport the material;

[0028] When the sprocket shaft rotates, the synchronous shaft fixed to the sprocket shaft rotates synchronously under the action of the sprocket shaft, and drives the ratchet 31 to rotate. Since the direction of the helical teeth on the ratchet 31 is the same as the running direction of the conveyor chain, when the ratchet 31 rotates, the helical teeth of the ratchet 31 continuously push the tooth block 33, and the tooth block 33 passes the ratchet 31, so that the ratchet 31 can rotate, so that the conveyor chain can operate normally;

[0029] When the conveyor chain runs in the reverse direction, the sprocket shaft rotates in the reverse direction under the action of the conveyor chain, and at the same time drives the ratchet 31 to rotate in the reverse direction. The tooth block 33 is stuck on the helical teeth on the ratchet 31, so that the ratchet 31 cannot rotate, thereby limiting the rotation of the conveyor chain and preventing the conveyor chain from reversing.

[0030] By means of the provided fixing rod 35 and reset spring 36, when the ratchet 31 pushes the tooth block 33, the tooth block 33 rotates outward along the circular shaft 32 and slides across the surface of the ratchet 31, and at the same time the reset spring 36 is stretched. When the ratchet 31 continues to rotate, the upper and lower helical teeth of the ratchet 31 rotate to the bottom of the tooth block 33. At this time, under the action of the rebound force of the reset spring 36, the tooth block 33 rotates and resets along the circular shaft 32, and continues to contact with the helical teeth. The fixing rod 35 and reset spring 36 ensure that the tooth block 33 and the ratchet 31 always maintain contact.

[0031] The use method and working principle of this device are as follows: When in use, the driving device 2 is started, and the conveying chain in the elevator body 1 is driven by the driving device 2 to rotate. When the conveying chain is running, the material enters through the feed port and is lifted upward by the action of the conveying chain and discharged through the discharge port;

[0032] When the sprocket shaft rotates, the synchronous shaft drives the ratchet 31 to rotate under the action of the sprocket shaft. When the ratchet 31 rotates, the helical teeth of the ratchet 31 continuously push the tooth block 33. The tooth block 33 passes over the ratchet 31, allowing the ratchet 31 to rotate, so that the conveyor chain can operate normally.

[0033] When the conveyor chain runs in the reverse direction, the sprocket shaft rotates in the reverse direction under the action of the conveyor chain, and at the same time drives the ratchet 31 to rotate in the reverse direction. The tooth block 33 is stuck on the helical teeth on the ratchet 31, making the ratchet 31 unable to rotate, thereby limiting the rotation of the conveyor chain and preventing the conveyor chain from reversing.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any other form. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes for application in other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiment made according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
