[0002] The scraper conveyor is the conveying equipment that production plant is widely used, it mainly transports bulk material, and its working principle is to set a distribution groove, the distribution groove one side top is provided with the feed inlet, the distribution groove bottom is equipped with a plurality of batching ports and the corresponding downstream production system intercommunication, and the batching port all is equipped with the valve gate that can open and close, to control material transmission into the corresponding production system, however, the batching port far from the feed inlet will not be provided with the valve gate, the reason is that every batching port will have some materials flow to the rear section, if the valve gate is set, then the material will be accumulated in the distribution groove end, causes the scraper conveyor to be blocked, therefore, the batching port in the end will not be provided with the valve gate.

[0003] However, the material of such scraper conveyor can only be towards one direction, if the end batching port connects the production system failure, then will cause the scraper machine to have material flow to the end production system all the time, at this moment, only the scraper conveyor is closed, after waiting for the end production system maintenance to be completed can start work, this has great influence on production. CONTENT

[0004] The utility model discloses a head tail switching device for scraper machine, which can ensure the normal operation of other production systems when the end batching port connected production system fails, thereby reducing the influence on the remaining production systems.

[0005] The utility model discloses a head tail switching device for scraper machine, which can ensure the normal operation of other production systems when the end batching port connected production system fails, thereby reducing the influence on the remaining production systems.

[0006] A head tail switching device for scraper machine, the scraper conveyor and the switching device, the scraper conveyor includes a distribution groove, a scraper chain assembly installed in the distribution groove, a support shaft supporting the scraper chain assembly to rotate in the distribution groove, the switching device is installed at the rear side of the end discharge port of the scraper conveyor, the switching device includes a track, a counterweight box, a back plate, a guide plate and a closing plate, two tracks are installed in parallel along the movement direction of the scraper conveyor outside the end discharge port of the scraper conveyor, the counterweight box is installed with walking wheels matched with the tracks on both sides and a driving mechanism driving the walking wheels to travel on the tracks, the back plate is installed on the side wall close to the scraper conveyor of the counterweight box, the closing plate is connected to the bottom of the back plate close to the scraper conveyor on one side, and the closing plate is matched with the end batching port, the back plate above the closing plate is installed with a guide plate matched with the scraper chain assembly, the guide plate is arc-shaped, and a supporting plate matched with the scraper chain assembly is installed in the distribution groove between the two support shafts.

[0007] The drive mechanism is selected from either a drive motor or a hydraulic rod.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the head and tail switching device for scraper conveyors provided by this utility model are: by setting the switching device, the material can circulate in the scraper conveyor, effectively avoiding the problem of material accumulating at the end of the feeding port and affecting the normal production of other production systems. Attached Figure Description

[0009] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, the drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of this utility model and should not be regarded as a limitation on the scope. For those skilled in the art, other related drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0012] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, a head-to-tail switching device for a scraper conveyor and a switching device are provided. The scraper conveyor includes a distribution trough 1, a scraper chain assembly 2 installed in the distribution trough 1, and a support shaft 3 supporting the scraper chain assembly 2 to rotate within the distribution trough 1. The switching device is installed on the rear side of the end discharge port of the scraper conveyor. The switching device is only connected to the scraper conveyor when the production system connected to the end discharge port malfunctions. The switching device includes rails 5, a counterweight box 6, a back plate 7, a guide plate 8, and a sealing plate 9. Two rails 5 are installed parallel to each other along the movement direction of the scraper conveyor on the outer side of the end discharge port of the scraper conveyor. The counterweight box 6 is equipped with rails on both sides. The 5-coordinated traveling wheels 10 and the drive mechanism 11 that drives the traveling wheels 10 to move on the track 5. The drive mechanism 11 selects a drive motor or a hydraulic rod according to the space margin at the end of the scraper conveyor. If the margin is large, a drive motor is selected; if the margin is small, a hydraulic rod is selected. The back plate 7 is installed on the side wall of the counterweight box 6 near the scraper conveyor. The sealing plate 9 is connected to the bottom of the back plate 7 near the scraper conveyor, and the sealing plate 9 is adapted to the contour of the end feeding port. A guide plate 8 adapted to the scraper chain assembly 2 is installed on the back plate 7 above the sealing plate 9. The guide plate 8 is arc-shaped.
