Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an overheating sprinkler device for belt conveyors, belonging to the technical field of safety protection equipment for belt conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] Belt conveyors are widely used in industries such as mining, ports, railway stations, and freight yards. During operation, belt conveyors inevitably generate heat due to belt friction. In particular, abnormal situations such as slippage of the head pulley, malfunction of idlers, powder accumulation, and scraping by foreign objects often lead to frictional heat accumulation. As the belt temperature rises, it can easily cause a fire hazard. The State Administration of Mine Safety and the Emergency Management Department have explicitly stipulated that underground belt conveyors must be equipped with automatic temperature and overheat protection devices.

[0003] Existing automatic overheating sprinkler systems for belt conveyors mainly include the following: The overheating sprinkler system researched by Shaanxi Huadian Yuheng Coal and Power Co., Ltd. is mainly installed on top of the belt and uses a motor to control a rotating plate for water spraying; the overheating sprinkler system at the head of the belt conveyor researched by Inner Mongolia Mengtai Bulian Gou Coal Industry Co., Ltd. detects the belt temperature at the skip area and sprays water from a water pipe installed below the head; and the real-time monitoring and automatic fire extinguishing system for belt conveyors developed by Xuzhou Zhongkuang Haisende Safety Technology Co., Ltd., etc., is installed near the head and controls the sprinkler heads to spray water by detecting the temperature of the head pulley bearing seat and smoke. These protective devices are generally installed on top of the belt. Because the belt carries materials, it is impossible to measure belt temperature changes accurately and in a timely manner, and the location of the sprinkler cannot directly cool the belt, making improvement necessary. Summary of the Invention

When overheating is detected, an audible and visual alarm is triggered, and simultaneously, a normally closed solenoid valve is activated to control water spraying for cooling, eliminating fire hazards. Furthermore, the device features a slotted design suitable for different types of belt conveyors, and the infrared temperature sensor and spray pipe support are adjustable to suit different parts of the conveyor, achieving comprehensive monitoring and protection. It has a simple structure, low cost, timely alarm, and improved applicability, thus solving the aforementioned problems in the prior art.

[0016] The fixed base 1 is fixed to the belt conveyor frame by bolts and reinforcing ribs 2, and is installed on the conveyor head wheel, tail wheel and middle parts that are prone to friction, heat accumulation and fire.

[0017] It also includes a sensor bracket 14, and the infrared temperature sensor 15 is installed inside the sensor bracket 14.
