[0026] To further understand the utility model content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a belt conveyor with a cleaning function, including a body 1, and further including: a cleaning roller 2 rotatably installed on the lower part of the body 1, the upper part of the cleaning roller 2 being tightly fitted with the transmission part of the body 1, the cleaning roller 2 including a roller body 202, the roller body 202 being flexibly arranged and deformably fitted with the transmission part of the body 1; and a transmission component 3 fixed on one side of the body 1, which drives the cleaning roller 2 to rotate at a different speed when the body 1 is running, thereby performing a rotational cleaning action on the transmission part of the body 1.

[0029] The aforementioned belt conveyor with cleaning function solves the problems of material accumulation, reduced conveying efficiency, and belt wear in traditional belt conveyors by installing a cleaning roller 2 at the lower part of the machine body 1.

[0030] The cleaning roller 2's roller body 202 is made of flexible material, which can deform and fit the shape of the conveyor section of the machine body 1. This flexible structure allows the cleaning roller 2 to closely fit the belt surface during belt operation, effectively cleaning the material on the belt and preventing material accumulation.

[0031] The rotation of the cleaning roller 2 is driven by the transmission component 3 installed on one side of the machine body 1. The transmission component 3 can be started along with the operation of the machine body 1, automatically driving the cleaning roller 2 to rotate, and different cleaning forces and speeds can be achieved through speed control, so as to better adapt to the cleaning needs of different materials. During the operation of the belt conveyor, the cleaning roller 2 can effectively remove the attachments on the surface of the belt through continuous cleaning action, avoid material spillage or blockage, and ensure the transport efficiency of the belt.

[0032] The use of cleaning roller 2 also greatly reduces the need for manual cleaning, lowers operating and maintenance costs, and extends the service life of the belt by reducing belt wear. This structure not only improves the working efficiency and stability of the belt conveyor, but also enhances its adaptability in complex working environments.

[0033] In this embodiment, the machine body 1 includes a support frame 101, the transmission part includes a transmission belt 104, and support seats 102 are fixedly installed on both sides of the support frame 101 by bolts. An electric roller 103 is fixedly installed inside one of the support seats 102, and a driven roller 105 is rotatably installed inside the other support seat 102. The electric roller 103 is connected to the driven roller 105 through the transmission belt 104. The transmission component 3 includes a large rotating wheel 301 rotatably installed on the support frame 101. One side of the large rotating wheel 301 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the driven roller 105, and the large rotating wheel 301 is connected to a small rotating wheel 302 fixed to one end of the shaft of the cleaning roller 2.

[0034] The machine body 1 includes a support frame 101 and a transmission section, wherein the transmission section is a transmission belt 104. Support seats 102 are fixedly installed on both sides of the support frame 101 by bolts. In order to adapt to different working environments and transportation needs, the support frame 101 can be selected in different lengths as needed. At the same time, by selecting a transmission belt 104 of appropriate length and specifications, the operating characteristics of the belt conveyor can be adjusted according to different material conveying requirements to match the installation of the support seats 102, thereby forming a machine body 1 with different stroke configurations.

[0035] An electric roller 103 is fixedly installed inside one support 102, and a driven roller 105 is rotatably installed inside the other support 102. The electric roller 103 is connected to the driven roller 105 through a transmission belt 104 to form a complete conveying system. When the electric roller 103 is started, it drives the transmission belt 104 to rotate through electric drive, and the driven roller 105 rotates accordingly to complete the material conveying. In order to realize the cleaning function, the transmission component 3 is equipped with a large rotating wheel 301 on the support frame 101. One side of the large rotating wheel 301 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the driven roller 105 to ensure that the large rotating wheel 301 rotates with the driven roller 105. When the large rotating wheel 301 is running, it is connected to the shaft of the cleaning roller 2 through the connected small rotating wheel 302, thereby driving the cleaning roller 2 to rotate.

[0036] The rotation of the cleaning roller 2 cleans the surface of the conveyor belt 104 through the flexible roller body 202, removing the attached material and ensuring that the belt surface is always clean and effectively preventing material accumulation. Through this transmission method, the cleaning roller 2 can clean synchronously with the operation of the conveyor belt 104, which not only ensures the efficient operation of the belt conveyor, but also greatly reduces the need for manual maintenance and extends the service life of the belt.

[0037] In this embodiment, a rotating shaft 201 rotatably mounted on a support frame 101 is externally fixedly connected to a roller body 202. An air intake gap 205 is provided inside the roller body 202. The rotating shaft 201 is hollow and communicates with the air intake gap 205. A recess 204 is provided on the outside of the roller body 202. The roller body 202 is arranged in a wavy shape. An air intake gap 205 is provided at the recess 204 and the protrusion of the roller body 202 respectively. Several wiping textures 203 for cleaning the machine body 1 are also provided on the outside of the roller body 202.

[0038] First, the electric roller 103 starts and drives the conveyor belt 104 to transport materials. During the movement of the conveyor belt 104, the protruding part of the roller body 202 contacts the belt surface and removes the material attached to the belt through friction. Then, the air suction gap 205 inside the roller body 202 is connected to the hollow structure of the rotating shaft 201 to form an airflow channel. When the roller body 202 rotates, an external air source sucks away the dust and impurities in the contact area of ​​the roller body 202.

[0039] The recessed 204 and raised portion of the roller body 202 are respectively provided with air suction gaps 205, which enhances the adsorption efficiency and ensures the cleaning effect. At the same time, the wiping texture 203 on the outside of the roller body 202 further performs physical cleaning with the belt surface, helping to remove residual materials. With the support of the air source, the adsorbed dust and impurities are removed in real time to prevent them from re-adhering to the belt. Throughout the process, the cleaning roller 2 works synchronously with the belt to ensure that material conveying and cleaning are carried out simultaneously, thereby improving conveying efficiency, reducing the need for manual cleaning, and effectively extending the service life of the belt.

[0040] In this embodiment, the belt conveyor also includes a negative pressure component 4. The negative pressure component 4 includes a turntable 401 fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 201. A connecting rod 402 is rotatably mounted on one side of the turntable 401. The drive part of the air cylinder 404 fixed to one side of the support frame 101 is fixedly connected to a base 403. The base 403 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 402. When the machine body 1 is running, the air cylinder 404 is controlled to perform air intake and exhaust actions. An air transmission pipe 405 is fixedly connected to the input end of the air cylinder 404. The end of the air pipe 405 away from the air cylinder 404 is connected and communicates with an air seat 406 fixed to one side of the support frame 101. The air seat 406 is rotatably connected and communicates with the rotating shaft 201.

[0041] First, when the machine body 1 starts to run, the electric roller 103 drives the transmission belt 104 to transport materials, and the cleaning roller 2 contacts the surface of the belt to remove the material attached to the belt through friction.

[0042] During this process, the negative pressure component 4 is activated. The negative pressure component 4 includes a turntable 401 fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 201. One side of the turntable 401 is connected to the drive unit of the air cylinder 404 via a rotatably mounted connecting rod 402. The air cylinder 404 is fixed to one side of the support frame 101 and is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 402 via a base 403. When the machine body 1 is running, the air cylinder 404 extends and retracts according to the control of the drive unit by the turntable 401, thereby starting to perform suction and exhaust actions. The input end of the air cylinder 404 is connected to the air seat 406 via an air transmission pipe 405. The air seat 406 is fixed to one side of the support frame 101 and is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 201, forming a through channel. When the air cylinder 404 is activated, the suction action generates negative pressure, causing the surrounding air, dust, and impurities to be sucked into the cleaning roller 2 area and then sucked away by the negative pressure component 4.

[0043] The inhaled dust is guided through the air pipe 405 to the output end of the air cylinder 404 for directional discharge. During the exhaust process, the air cylinder 404 will discharge the inhaled dust and impurities. Optionally, a dust collection bag can be installed at the output end of the air cylinder 404 to collect the adsorbed dust and impurities, thereby avoiding secondary dust pollution and maintaining a clean working environment. Throughout the process, the air intake and exhaust actions of the air cylinder 404 are coordinated with the cleaning roller 2 of the belt conveyor to ensure that no material accumulation or environmental pollution occurs during material conveying, further improving work efficiency and extending the service life of the belt and the cleaning roller 2.

[0044] The working principle of this utility model:

[0045] The cleaning roller 2 is driven by a transmission component 3 installed on one side of the machine body 1. The transmission component 3 can be activated by the operation of the machine body 1, automatically driving the cleaning roller 2 to rotate. Different cleaning forces and speeds are achieved through speed control, so as to better adapt to the cleaning needs of different materials. During the operation of the belt conveyor, the cleaning roller 2 can effectively remove the attachments on the surface of the belt through continuous cleaning action, avoiding material spillage or blockage, and ensuring the transport efficiency of the belt.
