[0001] This utility model relates to the field of belt conveyor cleaning technology, specifically an automatic cleaning device for belt conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] Belt conveyors are important transportation equipment for conveying bulk solid materials. When conveying various bulk materials, belt conveyors require one or more cleaning devices to continuously clean the residual material on the belt surface during operation in order to reduce material loss and ensure normal belt operation.

[0003] Existing belt sweepers generally suffer from the following problems:

[0004] (1) Incomplete cleaning: Single-stage scrapers are unable to remove highly adhesive materials, and residual materials cause secondary pollution and cause the conveyor belt to run off-track;

[0005] (2) High maintenance costs: Traditional scrapers need to be replaced as a whole after they wear out, which is costly, time-consuming to disassemble and assemble, and affects the continuity of production;

[0006] (3) Poor adaptability: The fixed-angle scraper cannot adapt to the uneven surface of the belt or the running condition, resulting in local missed cleaning or excessive wear;

[0007] (4) Cannot recycle materials independently: Spilled materials need to be cleaned up and recycled manually, resulting in a waste of manpower. Utility Model Content

[0008] To address the problem of incomplete belt cleaning during belt conveyor operation, resulting in secondary pollution from spilled residual materials and the need for manual cleaning and recycling, this utility model provides an automatic belt conveyor cleaning device.

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] As an embodiment of this utility model, the adjustable spring tensioner 500 further includes a screw 5001 and a connecting block 5004. The screw 5001 is fixedly connected to the top side of the recycling conveyor 200. A rotating cylinder 5002 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw 5001.

The spring 5003 is located between the rotating cylinder 5002 and the connecting block 5004. By rotating the rotating cylinder 5002, its position on the screw 5001 can be changed, thereby adjusting the compression degree of the spring 5003 and realizing flexible adjustment of the height and pressure of the clamping plate 600. The presence of the spring 5003 can provide a continuous and stable tension force, ensuring that the clamping plate 600 always firmly fixes the first cleaner 700 and the second cleaner 800.

[0037] As an embodiment of this utility model, the clamping plate 600 further includes a plate 6001, and a slot 6002 is provided on one side of the plate 6001 to facilitate the quick insertion and fixing of the first cleaner 700 and the second cleaner 800.
