Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic belt locking devices, and in particular to an automatic locking device for inclined shaft belt conveyors. Background Technology
[0002] In the mining of mineral resources such as coal, inclined shaft belt conveyor systems are widely used as an efficient material transportation method for transporting materials such as coal and gangue underground. However, the operational safety of inclined shaft belt conveyor systems has always been a key issue in mining production. Especially during the start-up and operation of inclined shaft belt conveyor systems, due to the high-speed rotation of the belt and the rolling of materials, if personnel accidentally enter the transport roadway, safety accidents can easily occur, causing casualties.
[0003] In practical use, the locking of transport roadways has traditionally relied on manual operation. That is, before starting the belt conveyor system, the operator manually closes the gate at the entrance of the roadway. However, this manual operation method has many inconveniences and safety hazards. On the one hand, manual operation may result in the gate not being closed in time due to operational errors or negligence, thus leaving safety hazards. On the other hand, if personnel enter the roadway without authorization during the operation of the belt conveyor system, it is impossible to stop them in a timely and effective manner. Improvement is urgently needed, which makes it difficult to achieve automatic locking of the inclined shaft belt conveyor system.
[0004] Therefore, to address the aforementioned problem of the inconvenience in implementing automatic interlocking of inclined shaft belt conveyor systems, an automatic interlocking device for inclined shaft belt conveyors can be designed. During the operation of the inclined shaft belt conveyor system, to ensure safety, personnel are strictly prohibited from entering the transport roadway to prevent injury from falling gangue or coal. When the inclined shaft conveyor starts working, the drive motor starts accordingly, driving the drive gear to rotate via the drive shaft. The drive gear meshes with the driven half-tooth ring on the side wall of the connecting piece, thereby causing the connecting piece and one side of the connected gate to rotate and close. Simultaneously, the mounting block on the other side of the gate drives the arc-shaped abutment rod to rotate, and the arc-shaped abutment... One end of the contact rod abuts against the inclined surface of the trapezoidal contact block and generates pressure, forcing the trapezoidal contact block to slide along the adjusting assembly. During this process, the reset assembly deforms, providing the necessary restoring force to the trapezoidal contact block. As the trapezoidal contact block moves, the adjusting assembly above it drives the adjusting tooth plate to move. The adjusting tooth plate meshes with the adjusting gear, thereby driving the adjusting shaft to rotate. The rotation of the adjusting shaft enables the locking assembly to achieve an automatic locking function. In addition, the warning assembly uses text notices and lights to remind personnel that entry is strictly prohibited, further enhancing safety. In summary, this device can automatically realize the locking and warning functions of the inclined shaft belt conveyor system. Utility Model Content

When the inclined shaft conveyor starts working, the drive motor 7 starts accordingly, driving the drive gear 9 to rotate through the drive shaft 8. The drive gear 9 meshes with the driven half-tooth ring 10 on the side wall of the connecting piece 5, thereby driving the connecting piece 5 and the fence gate 4 connected to it to rotate and close. At the same time, the mounting block 11 on the other side of the fence gate 4 drives the arc-shaped abutment rod 12 to rotate. One end of the arc-shaped abutment rod 12 engages with the inclined surface 18 of the trapezoidal abutment block 17. The trapezoidal contact block 17 slides along the adjusting assembly due to the contact and compression generated. During this process, the reset assembly deforms, providing the necessary restoring force for the trapezoidal contact block 17. As the trapezoidal contact block 17 moves, the adjusting assembly above it drives the adjusting tooth plate 16 to move. The adjusting tooth plate 16 meshes with the adjusting gear 15, thereby driving the adjusting shaft 14 to rotate. The rotation of the adjusting shaft 14 enables the locking assembly to achieve automatic locking. In addition, the warning assembly uses text notices and lights to remind personnel that entry is strictly prohibited, further enhancing safety.
