Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of belt conveyor equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic control system for belt blowing. Background Technology
[0002] In steel plants, a large number of belt conveyors undertake transportation tasks. In the raw material transportation link, they transport various raw materials such as coal powder, limestone, and iron ore from warehouses or ships to the production line. In the intermediate production transportation link, they transport molten iron to the continuous casting machine, etc. In the waste transportation link, they transport ironmaking slag from the steel plant to the designated site.
[0003] Steel mills have a large number of conveyor belts, long transport distances, and complex types of transported materials with varying degrees of adhesion. These belts can randomly detach during the return trip, causing severe dust accumulation in the surrounding area. This results in a dirty and dusty work environment, frequent replacement cycles for sweepers, and a large amount of manual cleaning. Some conveyor belts have low return heights, making manual cleaning unsafe and sometimes forcing the machine to be stopped for cleaning, which reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned shortcomings and defects of the existing technology by providing an automatic belt cleaning control system. This system automatically controls the cleaning system through a detection instrument, achieving interlocking between the belt and the cleaning system. It is highly reliable and easy to operate, thus solving the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model can be achieved by the following technical solution:
[0006] An automatic belt cleaning control system includes:
[0007] A purging device installed below the return section of the conveyor belt.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the air supply source includes a three-dimensional centrifugal fan, and the air supply source is connected to the purging device via a hose.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the three-dimensional flow centrifugal fan includes a head assembly, an impeller, a volute, and a drive assembly. The impeller is driven to rotate by the drive assembly. The impeller adopts a three-dimensional flow design and is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, chromium-nickel alloy steel, or titanium alloy.

[0030] See Figures 1 to 4 The automatic belt cleaning control system shown includes a cleaning device 3, a belt speed detection device 8, an air supply source 1, and a control device 9.
[0031] The purging device 3 is located below the return section of the conveyor belt 5. In this embodiment, the purging device 3 includes a purging air knife. The purging device 3 is located on the side near the head chute 6. The material purged by the purging device 3 falls into the head chute 6. The conveyor belt 5 is driven by the head roller 4 to pour the material into the head chute 6. The purging air knife includes an air inlet 301, a buffer chamber 302, and an exhaust port 303. The air inlet 301 adopts a large-diameter design to reduce pipeline losses. The buffer chamber 302 is used to buffer air, making the exhaust from the exhaust port 303 more uniform. The gap width of the exhaust port 303 can be adjusted according to the site requirements, with an adjustment range of 0.5 to 5 mm. The purging air knife is placed on the bracket 401 and secured with U-bolts 402 and nuts 403. The other side of the bracket 401 is connected to the support leg 404. The purging device 3 is connected to the air supply source 1 through a hose 2. The hose 2 is a high-temperature resistant hose and is connected to the purging air knife through a clamp 405.
[0032] In this embodiment, the air supply source 1 is a three-dimensional flow centrifugal fan.
