[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the following description is provided in conjunction with the appendix. Figures 1-8 The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0021] The portable belt conveyor reducer heating device used in this embodiment has the following structure:
[0022] In this embodiment, a frame is installed outside the reducer 8. The frame is a rectangular frame with one open side, consisting of a front face frame 2, a rear face frame 4, and a second adjusting beam 9, a first adjusting beam 10, and a third adjusting beam 11 connecting the two. Both the front and rear face frames are U-shaped planar frames, which are bolted to the three adjusting beams via positioning holes 12. The U-shaped planar frames are composed of an upper end beam 7, a left frame beam 1, a lower end beam 3, and a right frame beam 5. The reducer 8 is installed inside the rectangular frame, and its base is mounted on the first adjusting beam 10. Bolts are inserted into the adjusting holes on the first connecting beam 10 and the pre-drilled bolt holes on the reducer base, and the first adjusting beam 10 is then tightened to secure it. Install the tail connecting beam of the reducer on the lower end beam 3 of the H-shaped flat frame, and install the upper connecting beam of the reducer on the upper end beam 7 of the H-shaped flat frame. Tighten the bolts through the positioning holes of the H-shaped flat frame and the adjustment holes of the first adjustment beam 10 to fix it.
[0023] In this embodiment, an aluminum foil composite silicate insulation board 6 is installed between the cuboid frame and the reducer housing. The second adjustment beam 9 and the first adjustment beam 10 are adjusted according to the reducer's shape and the reserved space for the insulation material. The dimensions of the front and rear ends are adjusted using clamps and tightening bolts. After adjustment, positioning pins are inserted into the adjustment holes, and all connecting bolts are tightened. Insulation material installation method: The aluminum foil composite silicate insulation board 6 is cut to fit the left, right, top, and rear sides of the reducer. Irregular areas of the reducer are filled with the aluminum foil composite silicate insulation board 6, forming the four sides of the insulation structure. No insulation structure is installed on the input shaft fan side and bottom. The insulation structure is installed on the front and rear metal frames using flexible pressure strips. The bottom of the heating and insulation device connected to the reducer and the input shaft fan area are sealed with self-adhesive insulation material.
[0024] Heating facilities are installed. In this embodiment, three heat tracing cables 13 are used. The first heat tracing cable is installed 100mm below the center of the gear surface of the reducer 8. The other two heat tracing cables are tied to the reducer housing from top to bottom at 150mm intervals. The three heat tracing cables are respectively connected to the heat tracing cable power circuit in the power control switch box.
[0025] In this embodiment, the power circuit for the heat tracing cable is powered by a 220V source from the low-voltage distribution cabinet 14 of a nearby prefabricated substation. Lines KL and KN are connected to the power circuit. The main power supply for the heat tracing cable power circuit is an air switch 2UQ (32A), and branch circuit power supplies are supplied by air switches 2UQ.1 (6A). The L and N lines of the branch circuits are connected to the normally open contacts of contactor KM41, which is connected in series with the heat tracing cable BR of the electrical equipment. When 2UQ and 2UQ.1 are closed, the start and stop of the heat tracing cable are controlled by controlling the energization of the KM41 coil.
[0026] Control circuit: It can be controlled manually or automatically, with the manual / automatic switch being S1. Opening S1 is controlled manually, and closing S1 is controlled automatically.
[0027] When manual control is used, S2 and S3 control the start and stop respectively. For manual start, manually closing S2 energizes relay K3, causing its normally open contact to engage. This power is input via PLC channel 3DI4.1, and the PLC controls relays 1K61 and 1K62 via DO9.4 and DO9.5. Relay 1K61 is energized, and the KM41 coil is energized, causing it to engage. The heating cable of the equipment is powered and runs, and relay 1K62 is energized, causing the H2 running indicator light to operate. For manual stop, manually closing S3 de-energizes relay K4, causing its normally open contact to engage. This power is input via PLC channel 3DI4.2, and the PLC controls relays 1K61 and 1K62 to de-energize via DO9.4 and DO9.5. Relay 1K61 is de-energized, and the KM41 coil is de-energized, causing it to disengage. The heating cable of the equipment is de-energized and stops operating, and relay 1K62 and the H2 running indicator light are de-energized and stop operating.
[0028] When automatic control is used, S1 closes, relay K2 is energized, and the normally open contact of K2 is energized. This energization is input via the 3DI4.0 channel of the input module, and the PLC automatically commands the operation. The PLC transmits a 24V 4~20mA electrical signal to the RELIANCE temperature module (1A1 02, 1A1 COM) to determine whether 1K61 and 1K62 are energized, thereby controlling whether the KM41 coil is energized, and whether the heating cable of the electrical equipment and the running indicator light H2 are energized.
[0029] The manufacturing process of the portable belt conveyor reducer heating device used in this embodiment is as follows:
[0030] The specific steps for installing and commissioning the heating system are as follows:
[0031] Step 1.1: Install the BR01 heat tracing cable 13 100mm below the center of the gear tooth surface of the reducer housing and fix it in place;
[0032] Step 1.2: Install the BR02 heat tracing cable 13 on the reducer housing, 150mm below BR01, and secure it.
[0033] Step 1.3: Install the BR03 heat tracing cable 13 on the reducer housing, 150mm below BR02, and secure it.
[0034] Step 1.4: Connect the power supply line of the heat tracing cable to the power circuit of the heat tracing cable where the contactor KM41 of the AP04 power control switch box is located;

[0036] Step 1.6: Use the analog input of the temperature sensor PT100 built into the reducer as the on / off condition. If the PT100 input signal determines that the temperature is less than -15℃, relay 1K61 will be energized, KM41 will be powered on, and the heating cable will start heating. If the PT100 input signal determines that the temperature is greater than 10℃, relay 1K61 will be de-energized, and KM41 will be de-energized and disconnected. The installation and commissioning of the heating device are now complete.
[0037] Step 2, Insulation system installation, the specific steps are as follows:
[0038] Step 2.1: Cut aluminum foil composite silicate insulation board 6 according to the four sides of the reducer (top, back, left, and right), and fill in the gaps according to the outer dimensions of the reducer;
[0039] Step 2.2: Install the insulation structure obtained in Step 2.1 onto the rigid structure using flexible pressure strips;
[0040] Step 2.3: Seal the bottom of the connection between the heating and insulation device and the reducer, and the input shaft fan with self-adhesive insulation material;
[0041] Step 3, rigid structure installation, the specific steps are as follows:
[0042] Step 3.1: Install the lower beam connecting beams 9 and 10 on the reducer base, insert bolts into the adjustment holes of the lower beam connecting beams and the reserved bolt holes of the reducer base, tighten the bolts, and fix the lower beam connecting beams.

[0044] Step 3.3: Adjust connecting beams 9 and 10 according to the shape of the reducer and the reserved space for the insulation material;
[0045] After adjusting in step 3.4, insert the locating pin into the adjusting hole and tighten all connecting bolts.
