[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] like Figure 1As shown in Figure 4: A protective cover for a mining scraper conveyor includes a cover 2 and a quick-fixing assembly 3. The cover 2 includes two side plates 21, and a top plate 22 and a top plate 23 are welded to the top sides of the two side plates 21 respectively. A snap-fit ​​strip 24 and a snap-fit ​​groove 25 are respectively formed on the top plate 22 and the top plate 23. The snap-fit ​​strip 24 is slidably inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 25. The quick-fixing assembly 3 includes a housing 31, one end of which is connected to an end plate 32. A slide rod 33 is slidably installed on the inner side of the housing 31. A through hole for movably installing a steel ball 34 is opened on the curved side of the housing 31. The slide rod 33 is connected to the housing 31. The outer shell 31, filled with spring 35, is slidably inserted into the scraper conveyor frame 1 and side plate 21. Steel balls 34 and end plates 32 are respectively attached to the sides of the scraper conveyor frame 1 and side plate 21. The scraper conveyor frame 1 and cover 2 can be quickly connected by directly inserting the quick-fixing assembly 3. The quick-fixing assembly 3 relies on springs and steel balls to lock the scraper conveyor frame 1 and cover 2, resulting in a simple structure and stable connection. The width of the cover 2 can be easily adjusted by sliding the adjusting strip 24 in the adjusting groove 25. The adjusting groove 25 has a dovetail groove structure with rounded corners. The dovetail groove 25 can be used with the adjusting strip 24. A stable fit is ensured, preventing the locking strip 24 from disengaging from the locking groove 25 while maintaining a sliding fit. The rounded corner design effectively reduces stress concentration. Multiple locking strips 24 and locking grooves 25 are provided, equidistantly spaced on top plate 1 22 and top plate 23. These multiple locking strips 24 and locking grooves 25 serve two purposes: connecting the two side plates 21 and acting as reinforcing ribs to improve the structural strength of top plate 1 22 and top plate 23. A fixing plate 36 is connected to the end face of the end plate 32 facing away from the steel ball 34. The fixing plate 36 has a stepped tubular structure, allowing the operator to hook the fixing plate 36 with two fingers and press inward with their thumb to slide the plate. The rod 33 allows the outer shell 31 to be easily inserted into the scraper conveyor frame 1 and the protective cover 2. The rod 33 is sequentially formed with a sliding section 332, a tapered section 331, and a support section 333. The difference between the diameter of the sliding section 332 and the inner diameter of the outer shell 31 is not less than the radius of the steel ball 34. The support section 333 can support the steel ball 34, so that the steel ball 34 is stably clamped on both sides of the scraper conveyor frame 1 and the protective cover 2 in conjunction with the end plate 32. The diameter of the slots at both ends of the through slot for installing the steel ball 34 on the outer shell 31 is not greater than the diameter of the steel ball 34. The steel ball 34 can move inside the outer shell 31 without falling to the inner or outer sides of the outer shell 31.

[0031] The working principle of this technical solution is as follows: When installing the protective cover 2 on the scraper conveyor frame 1, the side of the side plate 21 is placed against one side of the scraper conveyor frame 1, and the through hole on the side plate 21 is aligned with the mounting hole on the scraper conveyor frame 1. Then, two fingers hook the fixing plate 36, and the thumb presses inward on the sliding rod 33, so that the sliding section 332 moves to the inside of the steel ball 34. Then, the outer shell 31 is slidably inserted into the hole on the side plate 21 and the scraper conveyor frame 1, so that the end plate 32 is against the side plate 21. Release the slide bar 33. At this time, under the elastic support of the spring 35, the slide bar 33 moves away from the outer shell 31. The steel ball 34 contacts the conical section 331 and the support section 333 in sequence. Supported by the support section 333, it is stably pressed against the inner side of the scraper frame 1. Together with the end plate 32, the protective cover 2 is stably connected to the scraper frame 1. When installing the other side plate 21, the overall width of the protective cover 2 can be adjusted by sliding the adjustment strip 24 in the locking groove 25.
