Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of belt conveyors, specifically relating to a belt conveyor that is easy to maintain. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial production, belt conveyors are one of the main equipment for material handling and are widely used in many industries such as mining, metallurgy, coal, chemical, and building materials.
[0003] Furthermore, due to the diversified production needs of enterprises, the types of materials transported by belt conveyors are not fixed. For example, they may be used to transport ore at some times and coal at other times. Under such operating conditions, in order to ensure the purity and quality of each batch of transported materials, the belt conveyor needs to clean up any residual material on the belt conveyor before changing the supplied materials, especially at the tail end, which is the main area for material accumulation, where cleaning is particularly important.
[0004] However, existing belt conveyors still have certain drawbacks when cleaning the tail section. Specifically, the housing at the tail of existing belt conveyors, which connects to the receiving hopper, is mostly a welded-in-one structure or a bolted-in assembly. During cleaning, workers must first loosen the bolts on the upper side of the tail housing, and then remove the bolts on both sides. Therefore, the entire process involves working at heights and requires the use of power tools for bolt removal, consuming significant manpower and time. According to actual operational statistics, a typical cleaning operation usually requires four people spending an entire morning to complete. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing belt conveyors require a lot of manpower and time for shutdown and cleaning, and to propose and design a belt conveyor that is easy to maintain, so as to overcome the above problems, significantly improve the efficiency of belt conveyor tail dismantling work, and reduce manpower and time costs.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a belt conveyor that is easy to maintain, comprising a conveyor body, with a closed box and a receiving funnel arranged sequentially from bottom to top at the tail of the conveyor body. The upper part of the closed box is connected to the receiving funnel, and a maintenance window is provided on the side of the closed box. A lifting plate is vertically slidably installed at the maintenance window, and the lifting plate is equipped with a lifting drive mechanism. When cleaning and maintenance of the conveyor body is required, the lifting drive mechanism can be directly controlled to raise the lifting plate to open the entire closed box, facilitating workers to enter the closed box for material removal and cleaning. This significantly improves the efficiency of dismantling work at the tail of the belt conveyor and reduces labor and time costs.
[0007] Furthermore, the maintenance window is located on the side of the enclosed enclosure away from the head of the conveyor body.
[0008] Furthermore, a seal is installed at the lower end of the lifting plate. The seal can contact the conveyor belt of the conveyor body and serve to seal the box.
[0009] Furthermore, the sealing element is a rubber strip, which can not only provide a good sealing effect, but also effectively reduce the wear of the conveyor belt in the conveyor body by the lifting plate.
[0010] Furthermore, U-shaped tracks are provided on both the left and right sides of the maintenance window. The left and right sides of the lifting plate are vertically slidably connected to the corresponding U-shaped tracks to guide the lifting plate's lifting path, thereby ensuring that the lifting plate can slide smoothly up and down.
[0011] Furthermore, the lifting drive mechanism is an electric push rod or a power cylinder, and it is preferred to use an electric push rod.
[0012] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages: When the conveyor body of this utility model needs to be cleaned and maintained, the lifting drive mechanism can be directly controlled to raise the lifting plate to open the entire enclosed box without the need for other tools, thus facilitating workers to enter the tail of the belt conveyor for material cleaning; conversely, after cleaning and maintenance are completed, the lifting drive mechanism can be directly controlled to lower the lifting plate to close the entire enclosed box and prevent dust and other contaminants from entering the box; therefore, this utility model can significantly improve the efficiency of the dismantling work at the tail of the belt conveyor and reduce labor and time costs.

[0013] To more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the drawings used in the description will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0016] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this patent.
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a belt conveyor that is easy to maintain. It includes a conveyor body 1, with a closed housing 2 at the tail end of the conveyor body 1. The closed housing 2 covers the tail end of the conveyor body 1 and communicates with and connects to a receiving funnel above the tail end of the conveyor body 1 to restrain material falling from the receiving funnel and prevent it from splashing everywhere. Furthermore, a discharge window is provided on the side of the closed housing 2 facing the head of the conveyor body 1, and a maintenance window 6 is provided on the side of the closed housing 2 away from the head of the conveyor body 1. A lifting plate 3 is vertically slidably installed at the maintenance window 6.
[0018] Furthermore, to ensure smooth up-and-down sliding of the lifting plate 3, this invention provides U-shaped tracks on both the left and right sides of the maintenance window 6. The left and right sides of the lifting plate 3 are vertically slidably connected to the corresponding U-shaped tracks, guiding the lifting path of the lifting plate 3 and thus achieving smooth sliding. To facilitate quick opening of the lifting plate 3 by staff, the lifting plate 3 is equipped with a lifting drive mechanism 4, which preferably adopts common linear drive mechanisms such as electric push rods or power cylinders. To prevent the lifting plate 3 from causing wear to the conveyor belt 7 of the conveyor body 1, this invention installs a sealing element 5 at the lower end of the lifting plate 3. The sealing element 5 is preferably a rubber strip, and the shape of the lower end of the lifting plate 3 and the direction of the sealing element 5 are the same as the cross-sectional shape of the conveyor belt 7 of the conveyor body 1, adopting an inverted trapezoidal shape that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.
[0019] In this way, during the normal use of the conveyor body 1, the sealing element 5 at the lower end of the lifting plate 3 can be controlled to contact the conveyor belt 7 of the conveyor body 1, thereby sealing the entire enclosed box 2 and achieving a dustproof effect; when the conveyor body 1 needs to be stopped for cleaning, the lifting plate 3 can be controlled to rise quickly to open the maintenance window 6, making it convenient for staff to enter the enclosed box 2 to clean materials, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of the dismantling work at the tail of the belt conveyor and reducing manpower and time costs.
[0020] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
