Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sidewall conveyor belt technology, specifically relating to a sidewall conveyor belt with self-cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] Sidewall conveyor belts, also known as steep-angle corrugated sidewall conveyor belts or skirted partition conveyor belts, are mainly used for carrying and transporting materials. They are made of rubber and fiber / metal composites, or plastic and fabric composites. They mainly consist of three parts: the base belt, sidewalls, and cross partitions. The sidewalls prevent materials from slipping and spilling.

[0003] However, existing sidewall conveyor belts are prone to having debris or dirt adhering to their surface during product transportation, which affects the performance of the conveyor belt itself and can also easily cause pollution and damage to the transported products. A sidewall conveyor belt with self-cleaning function is provided to alleviate the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention utilizes a combination of a scraper, a cleaning roller, absorbent cotton, a fan, and a heating resistance wire to clean the lower surface of the conveyor belt and then dry it, thereby achieving the purpose of self-cleaning the baffle conveyor belt.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

Several nozzles are connected at equal intervals on the top of the distribution box, and one end of the heating resistance wire is connected to an external power supply through a connecting wire.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the gain effect of this utility model is as follows:

[0012] 1. By coordinating the structure of the collection box, scraper, water trough, and cleaning roller, the scraper is elastically pressed against the lower surface of the conveyor belt body by the first spring, scraping off the impurities adhering to the conveyor belt body and allowing them to slide down the inclined plate into the collection box for collection. When the conveyor belt body passes through the water trough, detergent is added to the water trough and wets the bottom of the cleaning roller. After the output end of the motor drives the cleaning roller to rotate, the cleaning roller further scrubs the outer surface of the conveyor belt body. The cleaning effect is good, effectively preventing conveyor belt failure.

[0013] 2. By coordinating structures such as a fixed box, absorbent cotton, drying box, fan, heating wire, and nozzles, the absorbent cotton dries the surface of the conveyor belt. Then, the fan and heating wire in the drying box are activated. After the outside air is heated by the heating wire, it is transported to the distribution box through the conveying pipe. Finally, the nozzles further dry the lower surface of the conveyor belt, improving the drying effect on the surface of the conveyor belt and avoiding affecting the transportation of subsequent items.

[0014] 3. By setting up structures such as a scraper, a blade holder, and a third spring, the scraper inside the blade holder is tightly pressed against the side wall of the pressure roller under the action of the third spring. The scraper can scrape off the water from the side wall of the absorbent cotton, and the scraped water flows into the fixed box for collection. This ensures that the absorbent cotton always has the ability to absorb water, enabling continuous use of the absorbent cotton and saving costs. Attached Figure Description
