Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of mine belt conveyor, especially to a kind of automatic tensioner of mine belt conveyor. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the daily operation of coal mine driving face, with the forward driving of roadway and the periodic maintenance of equipment, the tail end of belt conveyor needs to be frequently extended, and the belt is loosened and tensioned in the process;This link is crucial to ensure the normal operation of belt conveyor;However, in the current operation practice, there are several significant problems in the process of tensioning the belt, which need to be solved urgently;

[0003] On the one hand, the common operation method is to start the belt conveyor while tensioning the belt, and then stop tensioning after the belt conveyor runs normally;The disadvantage of this method is that it usually needs two workers to cooperate, one responsible for operating the tensioner, and the other responsible for starting and monitoring the belt conveyor;This not only increases labor cost, but also may trigger the speed protection mechanism of belt conveyor due to the rapid change of belt tension in the tensioning and starting process, resulting in unexpected shutdown and affecting production efficiency;

[0004] On the other hand, in order to avoid the problems caused by simultaneous operation, some operation sites adopt the strategy of first tensioning the belt and then starting the belt conveyor after tensioning is completed;However, this method also has obvious defects;Firstly, due to the inability to accurately control the tensioning degree of the belt, the belt may not be able to drive normally if it is too loose, while the belt may be damaged due to overwork if it is too tight, which shortens its service life;Secondly, this method requires the operator to go back and forth between the tensioner and the belt conveyor switch many times, which not only wastes time but also increases the operation complexity;More importantly, the friction between the belt and the main drum changes under the conditions of empty load and heavy load, and the existing technology cannot monitor this change in real time, resulting in difficulty in accurately controlling the tensioning degree of the belt, and often causing problems of over-tensioning or over-loosening.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new automatic tensioner of mine belt conveyor to solve the above technical problems. SUMMARY

[0028] Please refer to Figures 3-4 Cleaning assembly further includes connecting shaft 10, connecting shaft 10 is rotatably connected in the inside of belt conveyor body 1, connecting disc 11 is fixedly connected at one end of connecting shaft 10 equidistantly, knocking ball 12 is rotatably connected at the top of connecting disc 11, first pulley 13 is fixedly connected at one end of connecting shaft 10 and extends out of belt conveyor body 1, driving end in the inside of belt conveyor body 1 is fixedly connected with driving pulley 14, and driving pulley 14 is connected with first pulley 13 through belt transmission between first pulley 13;

[0029] It should be noted that: the rotation of driving pulley 14 drives the rotation of first pulley 13 and second pulley 16, and further drives the rotation of connecting shaft 10 and driving shaft 15;The rotation of connecting shaft 10 makes connecting disc 11 and knocking ball 12 rotate constantly, and knocking ball 12 knocks the belt of belt conveyor body 1 under the action of centrifugal force, and the impurities such as ore scraps on the belt are shaken down.

[0032] The working principle of the automatic tensioning device of the mine belt conveyor provided by the utility model is as follows:

[0033] Automatic tensioning mechanism:

[0034] When the belt inside the belt conveyor body 1 is loosened due to running or load change, the gravity sensor 4 can monitor the loosened state of the steel wire rope 8;

[0035] The gravity sensor 4 transmits the signal to the controller 21, and after receiving the signal, the controller 21 sends a tensioning signal to the winch 3;

[0036] After receiving the signal, the winch 3 starts to work, and through the cooperation of the steel wire rope 8 and the fixed pulley 5, the support 7 and the tensioning roller 6 are pulled to slide along the length direction of the belt conveyor body 1, so as to tighten the belt;

[0037] Conversely, when the gravity sensor 4 monitors that the steel wire rope 8 is excessively tightened, the controller 21 sends a loosening signal to the winch 3, and the winch 3 works in reverse to loosen the belt to an appropriate degree;

[0038] When the gravity sensor 4 monitors that the tightening degree of the steel wire rope 8 is within the set range, the controller 21 does not send a signal, and the winch 3 remains stationary, and the belt remains in the current tensioning state;

[0039] Belt cleaning mechanism:

[0040] With the running of the belt conveyor body 1, the belt moves continuously;

[0041] The driving end inside the belt conveyor body 1 is fixedly connected with the driving pulley 14, which is connected with the first pulley 13 and the second pulley 16 through belt transmission;

[0042] The rotation of the driving pulley 14 drives the first pulley 13 and the second pulley 16 to rotate, and further drives the connecting shaft 10 and the driving shaft 15 to rotate;

[0043] The rotation of the connecting shaft 10 drives the connecting disc 11 and the knocking ball 12 to rotate continuously, and the knocking ball 12 knocks the belt of the belt conveyor body 1 under the action of centrifugal force, and shakes the impurities on the belt;

[0044] Meanwhile, the connecting shaft 10 also drives the reciprocating screw rod 20 to rotate, and the cooperation of the reciprocating screw rod 20 and the driving rod 19 drives the cleaning roller 18 to move axially along the square rod 17;

[0045] The rotation of the second pulley 16 drives the cleaning roller 18 to rotate through belt transmission, so that the cleaning roller 18 rotates while reciprocating, thereby cleaning the impurities on the belt more effectively;

[0046] The cleaned impurities do not contact the tensioning roller 6, and thus do not affect the rotation and position adjustment of the tensioning roller 6.

[0047] The above is only an embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent range of the present application, and any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation according to the content of the present application specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection range of the present application.
