Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the field of material conveying, the belt conveyor is widely used as a kind of equipment, and its running stability is crucial to production efficiency and equipment life. However, the existing belt conveyor often faces the problem of belt deviation during operation, which not only causes material to fall off and equipment to wear out, but also may cause safety accidents, seriously affecting production efficiency and normal operation of equipment.

[0003] Currently, there are many shortcomings in the measurement of belt deviation. On the one hand, some devices use limit switches for measurement, which can only trigger signals when the belt deviation reaches the limit position, and cannot provide real-time feedback on the specific position of the belt deviation, resulting in delayed correction control and difficulty in achieving accurate correction. On the other hand, although laser measurement has high accuracy, the laser signal is easily disturbed due to severe dust in the belt conveying site, making it difficult to work stably and unable to meet the actual working condition requirements.

[0004] In addition, the function of ordinary belt deviation rectifier is relatively single, and it can only correct the deviation of the belt. However, in actual operation, the change of belt tension also has an important impact on the service life and running stability of the belt. The ordinary deviation rectifier cannot adjust the deviation force according to the belt tension, and cannot fully guarantee the running state of the belt, limiting its application effect in complex working conditions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical scheme, the utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with examples, and the description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not have any limiting effect on the protection scope of the utility model.

[0026] As Figures 1-5 The specific scheme of the embodiment is: an automatic deviation rectifying machine for feeding belt, which comprises a rack 1 arranged on one side of a belt conveyor 23, a deviation rectifying detection device and a deviation rectifying device;The rack 1 supports a driven roller 22, a deviation rectifying device and a deviation rectifying detection device, and the deviation rectifying device and the deviation rectifying detection device are arranged on both sides of the belt conveyor 23;The deviation rectifying detection device comprises a detection roller 4, the upper end of the detection roller 4 is provided with a rotating shaft 5, the rotating shaft 5 is inserted into a bearing seat 2;The side end of the rotating shaft 5 is provided with a coupling 7 and a rotary encoder 8, and the side end of the rotary encoder 8 is provided with a limit switch 9. The deviation rectifying device is divided into a left deviation rectifying device 20 and a right deviation rectifying device 21, and the deviation rectifying detection device is divided into a left detection device 18 and a right detection device 19.

[0027] As a preferred mode of the above embodiment, a spring 3 is arranged between the detection roller 4 and the bearing seat 2.

[0028] As a preferred mode of the above embodiment, the upper end of the detection roller 4 is provided with an adjusting screw 6.

[0029] As a preferred mode of the above embodiment, the deviation rectifying device comprises a servo motor 10, the output end of the servo motor 10 is connected with a right angle speed reducer 11, the right angle speed reducer 11 is connected with an electric cylinder 12, the output end of the electric cylinder 12 is connected with a bearing slide 16, and the bearing slide 16 is slidingly arranged on a rack slide 15;The front end of the electric cylinder 12 is provided with a tension sensor 13;The side end of the bearing slide 16 is provided with a hinge 14.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the above, the upper end of the bearing slide 16 is provided with an origin pointer 17.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the above, a dust cover is provided at the correction device.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the above, the bearing slide 16 is configured as a Y-type hinge to pull the spherical bearing slide.

[0033] Detection Principle: The detection devices are installed on both sides of the upper end of the feed belt. When the feed belt deviates to one side, it hits the detection roller 4, causing the detection roller 4 to shift to one side. This shift drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, which is transmitted to the rotary encoder 8 via the coupling 7. The rotation angle of the rotary encoder 8 is calculated by the PLC using trigonometric functions to determine the specific value of the feed belt deviation. The encoder height remains constant at 100°, and the belt oscillation causes the encoder to output angle data. This data is then multiplied by the adjacent side value using a tangent command to obtain the opposite side value (deviation value).

[0034] The tension of spring 3 and the action of adjusting screw 6 ensure that detection roller 4 is always pressed against the feed belt, guaranteeing the accuracy of the calculated values. Rotary encoder 8 has a limit deviation angle set; if this angle fails, limit switch 9 provides a second layer of protection.

[0035] Correction principle: The tension of the feed belt is detected by the tension sensor 13. When the detected belt tension is greater than or less than the set tension, the PLC controls the servo motor to adjust it appropriately to ensure that the belt tension is within the set range. When the belt deviates, the detection device will detect the specific deviation value. At this time, the PLC controls the servo motors 10 on both sides to drive the right-angle reducer 11, the electric cylinder 12, and the Y-shaped hinge to pull the spherical bearing slide 16 back and forth on the frame slide bar 15. When the belt deviates to the left, the servo motor 10 tightens on the left and loosens on the right; when the belt deviates to the right, the servo motor 10 tightens on the right and loosens on the left, which can quickly correct the deviation.

[0036] This invention also has the following functions:

[0037] 1. Methods to overcome heavily dusty environments:

[0038] 1.1. In terms of mechanics, electric cylinders are used (the movement mechanism of the electric cylinder is sealed inside the electric cylinder) so that the mechanical moving parts will not be jammed due to dust.

[0039] 1.2. Electrically, a rotary encoder 8 is used to detect belt misalignment. A detection roller 4 is placed next to the belt; the belt's oscillation causes the rotary encoder 8 to output angular information, which is then used to calculate the corresponding misalignment position using trigonometric functions. The PLC program then adjusts the corrective mechanism based on the amount of misalignment.

[0040] 2. Extend the service life of equipment:

[0041] 2.1. Tension sensor 13 is used to detect belt tension, and this signal is used to control the belt alignment machine's action on the belt. This prevents the belt from being overloaded, ensuring normal operation of both the belt and the alignment machine, thereby extending their service life. The low failure rate of the equipment also reduces maintenance and improves efficiency.

[0042] 2.2. The machine parts have a strength value three times that of the design theory and are treated with multiple layers of protection.

[0043] 2.3. The bearings of the straightening machine are made of spherical rollers to prevent the tangential force generated on the bearing housing by the deflection of the rollers during straightening.

[0044] 2.4. Absolute value servo motors are used to ensure that the machine can remember its current position after power failure, and over-adjustment is limited in the software.
