Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of idler roller technology, specifically an adjustable width idler roller. Background Technology
[0002] When conveying materials, belt conveyors require idlers to support the conveyor belt. However, current idlers are all fixed structures and cannot adaptively adjust to changes in the conveyor belt (especially its width), limiting their application to a single scenario and narrow scope. Currently, no effective solution has been provided. Therefore, based on years of experience and practice in related industries, the inventor proposes a width-adjustable idler (see patent number: 202223303250.1) to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. The idler includes a mounting frame and at least two first idlers, each slidably mounted on the mounting frame. A drive device is mounted on the mounting frame, with its actuating end connected to each of the two first idlers. The drive device drives at least one first idler to slide on the mounting frame, adjusting the distance between the two first idlers. This invention solves the problem of the inability to adjust the width of the idler.
[0003] However, most of the idlers currently available on the market are fixed at a fixed point and cannot be adjusted in terms of width and angle. This requires the conveyor belt to be customized separately, which is inconvenient and limits their use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable width idler to address the problem that most existing idlers on the market are fixed at a fixed point and cannot be adjusted in terms of width and angle. This requires custom-made conveyor belts, which is inconvenient and limits their use.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a width-adjustable idler roller, comprising:
[0006] Support components are used to support the width-adjustable idler rollers and other components;
[0007] The adjustment component is located on top of the support component;
[0008] The adjusting assembly includes a threaded telescopic rod, with support rods on both sides of the threaded telescopic rod. Each set of support rods has a support frame at its top, and each set of support frames has a connecting rod at its bottom near the threaded telescopic rod. Each set of connecting rods has a moving block at its bottom. The threaded telescopic rod has a transmission gear on its exterior, with a drive gear at one end of the transmission gear and an asynchronous motor on one side of the drive gear.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the support assembly includes a base, with universal wheels at all four corners of the base, electric push rods on both sides of the top of the base, and rollers at the middle of the top of the base and inside the two sets of support frames.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, both sets of support rods are telescopically connected to the base via electric push rods and threaded telescopic rods.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the two sets of moving blocks are threadedly connected to the threaded telescopic rod.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the driving gear is meshed with the transmission gear.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In use, first adjust the width of the idler roller, start the electric push rod, the electric push rod extends, causing the support rod to move outward, so that the idler roller inside the support frame moves outward to widen it. At the same time, when it is necessary to adjust the clamping angle, start the asynchronous motor. The output end of the asynchronous motor drives the drive gear to rotate, which drives the transmission gear to rotate through the meshing connection, which drives the threaded telescopic rod to rotate. Through the threaded connection, the moving block moves, and the connecting rod supports one side of the support frame to adjust the usage angle. This device is convenient to use and simple to operate. The set adjustment components can automatically adjust the usage angle to meet the different practical angles of different idler rollers, making it highly practical. Attached Figure Description
