[0040] In one possible implementation, the support member 33 and the flipping limit member 34 are respectively provided, and through holes are opened at their corresponding positions.

The mounting heads 45 pass through the circular groove at the upper end of the mounting groove 44 and are slidably locked in the square groove at the lower end of the mounting groove 44.

[0042] In one possible implementation, the flip-up lock assembly 5 includes a flip-up lock mounting rod 51 passing through the central rod 14. The flip-up lock mounting rod 51 is provided with a plurality of flip-up lock mounting parts 52. A flip-up rotating shaft 53 is rotatably provided on the plurality of flip-up lock mounting parts 52. A flip-up handle 56 is provided at one end of the flip-up rotating shaft 53. A plurality of flip-up rods 54 are provided on the flip-up rotating shaft 53.

[0043] In one possible implementation, the free scraper assembly 6 includes a scraper mounting member 61, with a hook 62 above the scraper mounting member 61. The hook 62 is hung on a hanging rod on the outside of the drive roller assembly 2. A scraper 63 is provided at the front end of the scraper mounting member 61, and a counterweight 64 is provided at the rear end of the scraper mounting member 61.

[0044] In one possible implementation, the conveyor comprises a conveyor frame, conveyor belt, drive unit, support unit, tilting device, lifting device, and scraper device. The conveyor frame adopts a frameless design with round tubing; the main frame, support leg assemblies, diagonal brace assemblies, auxiliary support assemblies, and belt support assemblies are all integrated without connections or grooves, and the joints are smoothly treated. The belt connection features an open design. The conveyor belt is made of PU material that meets food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade hygiene standards, with a smooth surface that is easy to clean. The conveyor belt is installed using a quick-flip and quick-release method; the circular conveyor belt is pulled out directly from both sides. The frame has an unobstructed design with no parts that interfere with disassembly, allowing for rapid belt disassembly and installation within 3 seconds.

[0045] In one possible implementation, the drive unit directly adopts an integrated electric roller, with the electric roller directly fitted with the drive gear, reducing the complex connection between the traditional motor and the roller, and facilitating cleaning and maintenance.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the belt support device uses a high-polymer wear-resistant sleeve, which is directly pressed into the drag groove without the need for screws, thus reducing connection gaps.

[0047] In one possible implementation, the conveyor frame adopts an open cylindrical structure with no external frame, no legs or side obstructions, smooth welded grooves, no sharp edges or gaps, and polished surface to prevent dirt accumulation.

[0048] In one possible implementation, the conveyor's tail end is designed to be flipped. Pulling the handle lock allows the tail end to quickly tilt upwards. After manual flipping, the tail end can be rotated 130 degrees and locked in the positioning groove. After reversing, the belt is in a slack state and can be quickly removed. The main frame of the conveyor is equipped with a set of quick belt lifting devices every 1000mm. The connection point consists of a specially designed stainless steel lifting ring and a slotted handle. The slotted handle is a stainless steel rod design. Releasing the slot and pulling the handle causes the lifting ring to lift, which in turn lifts the belt, expanding the belt's range of motion and facilitating drainage and removal of residual liquid during cleaning. The combination of these two components facilitates belt disassembly, expands the internal space of the belt, and allows for convenient and quick cleaning of the conveyor's internal structure even without disassembling the belt.

[0049] In one possible implementation, a slotted wheel structure is used at the lower part of the conveyor frame belt. The connection has only a slot and no bolt connection, and there is a locking device. When changing the belt, the wheel assembly can be removed at the fastest speed, abandoning the traditional bolt-fixed wheel structure that is time-consuming and laborious to disassemble. In addition, the connecting slot is wide and smooth, making it easy to clean.

[0050] In one possible implementation, a quick-release hanging plate device is designed below and in front of the drive end of the belt. This device consists of a soft rubber scraper, a connecting frame, and a counterweight. The scraper connecting frame uses a hook design, allowing for quick removal by directly hanging it on the side plate of the drive end, eliminating the need for bolted connections. The scraper is made of soft PU material, and under the pressure of the counterweight, the soft rubber hanging plate adheres tightly to the conveyor belt, scraping off adhesive debris from the conveyed products and cleaning the belt. This ensures effective hanging plate removal while allowing for quick disassembly.

[0051] By employing the above-mentioned technical means:

[0052] The overall design of the conveyor eliminates unsanitary corners. Its smooth surface, seamless structure, and drainage design all contribute to maintaining cleanliness, meeting the high hygiene requirements of industries such as food and pharmaceuticals, and effectively preventing product quality problems caused by contamination.

[0053] The design features such as quick-connect structure, hook-type conveyor belt installation, removable sealing cover, hand-tightened nut connecting legs, and slotted slider water receiving tray, which enable the conveyor to be quickly disassembled during maintenance, cleaning, or replacement of parts, greatly reducing downtime and maintenance costs and improving production efficiency.

[0054] Working principle, refer to Figure 1-5First, install the outriggers in their respective positions on the conveyor frame using hand-tightened nuts. Adjust the outrigger height and feet according to ground conditions to ensure the conveyor is level and stable. Next, install the drive unit at one end of the conveyor frame, connecting the motor and drive roller via a coupling, and install the sealing cover at the drive roller bearing. Then, hang the conveyor belt on the hanging rings on the conveyor frame using hooks, ensuring the conveyor belt is installed flat and properly tensioned. Finally, install the water collection tray on the conveyor frame below the conveyor belt using slots and sliders.

[0055] When cleaning or maintenance of the conveyor is required, first empty the material from the conveyor belt. Then remove the conveyor belt from the hooks on the hangers and place it in the cleaning area. For the water collection tray, pull it out of the slot in the conveyor frame for cleaning. To disassemble the outriggers, simply unscrew the nuts by hand to separate the outriggers from the conveyor frame. For the conveyor frame, press the elastic locking tabs of the quick-connect structure between the frame units to separate the individual frame units. The drive unit's sealing cover can be directly removed for maintenance and inspection of the motor and drive rollers.

[0056] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
