Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to belt conveyors, and more specifically to a belt cleaning device for edge-mounted belt conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] Sidewall belt conveyors are important material handling machines widely used in industries such as mining, metallurgy, power, building materials, chemicals, and machinery. However, during operation, fine material particles easily stick to the partitions and sidewalls of the return belt. Some of these stuck particles fall below the conveyor as the equipment runs, contaminating the factory and requiring significant manpower and resources to clean them up.

[0003] Traditional sidewall belt conveyors often address the issue of material buildup on the return belt by manually patting the belt periodically or by installing patting rollers in front of the head roller. Manual patting can only be done when the conveyor is stopped, disrupting normal production and increasing labor costs. While patting rollers avoid the need for downtime, they rely on belt friction, resulting in poor cleaning effectiveness, potential belt damage, and the need for manual cleanup of any accumulated material. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model patent provides a belt cleaning device for a sidewall belt conveyor. Its advantages are that the cleaning effect is good, it does not affect the normal operation of the equipment, the cleaned material does not require manual assistance, the equipment operation relies on the self-power of the sidewall belt conveyor, saving energy consumption, and the equipment has a simple structure and is easy to maintain.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A belt cleaning device for a sidewall conveyor includes a driven beating part, a scraper cleaning part, and a mechanical linkage mechanism.

[0007] The driven slapping part includes a slapping assembly mounted on a slapping shaft, fixed frames mounted at both ends of the slapping shaft, the fixed frames being connected to the intermediate frame of the matching sidewall conveyor belt, and a slapping rotating gear mounted on the slapping shaft. The slapping rotating gear drives the slapping shaft to rotate, and the slapping shaft drives the slapping assembly to rotate, thereby squeezing and slapping the return conveyor belt of the sidewall conveyor belt.

[0008] The patting assembly consists of a patting frame equipped with patting rollers. By rotating the patting frame, the patting rollers squeeze and pat the tape, and the patting rollers and the tape roll together.

[0009] The scraper cleaning section includes a driven shaft, a first shaft, and a second shaft mounted on the housing. A driven gear is mounted on the driven shaft, a follower gear and a first rotating gear are mounted on the first shaft, and a second rotating gear is mounted on the second shaft. The first rotating gear and the second rotating gear are connected by a chain scraper. The driven gear and the follower gear mesh with each other. When the driven gear is rotated, it drives the follower gear to rotate in the opposite direction. The follower gear drives the first rotating gear to rotate through the first shaft, and the first rotating gear drives the second rotating gear through the chain scraper. This enables the chain scraper to convey the dust and particles collected in the housing forward.

[0010] The mechanical linkage mechanism includes a drive shaft installed in the middle of the drive drum of the sidewall conveyor belt. The drive shaft drives a first drive gear and a second drive gear at both ends. The first drive gear drives the driven slapping part to operate via a first drive belt, and the second drive gear drives the scraper cleaning part to operate via a second drive belt.

[0011] This utility model provides a belt cleaning device for a sidewall conveyor. It relies on the power of the sidewall conveyor itself to drive the driven beating part and the scraper cleaning part through a mechanical linkage mechanism. The driven beating part can effectively clean the material particles adhering to the return belt surface of the sidewall conveyor, and the scraper cleaning part can concentrate and transport the cleaned material particles. The entire device does not require an additional power source, has a good cleaning effect, does not easily damage the belt, does not require manual assistance for cleaning, has a simple structure, and is easy to maintain.

[0012] Preferably, a drive shaft is installed on the drive roller of the sidewall conveyor, and a first drive gear and a second drive gear are installed at both ends of the drive shaft, which can convert the power of the sidewall conveyor into the driving force of the equipment.

[0013] Preferably, two beating components are provided on the beating shaft, and the two beating components are arranged in a cross manner to ensure that during operation, the two beating components can alternately squeeze and beat the conveyor belt of the sidewall conveyor, thereby obtaining the best cleaning effect.

[0014] Preferably, each patting frame is equipped with three patting rollers. When the patting assembly is in operation, the patting rollers on the patting frame squeeze and pat the conveyor belt of the sidewall conveyor, which can achieve excellent cleaning effect. The patting rollers and the conveyor belt roll together to avoid damaging the conveyor belt.

[0015] Preferably, the driven beater is mounted on the intermediate frame of the sidewall conveyor via a fixing bracket. The fixing method is simple and reliable, and no additional equipment foundation is required.

[0016] Preferably, the driven gear and the follower gear are connected by meshing, which ensures that the material conveying direction of the scraper cleaning section is consistent with the running direction of the sidewall belt conveyor, making it easy to send the cleaned material particles back to the material flow of the sidewall belt conveyor.

[0017] Preferably, a chain scraper is installed on the first rotating gear and the second rotating gear. The first rotating gear drives and supports the chain scraper, while the second rotating gear supports the chain scraper. The chain scraper has a hollow structure in the middle, so that the cleaned material particles can fall to the bottom of the shell of the scraper cleaning part.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] This utility model provides a belt cleaning device for a sidewall conveyor belt. The device can thoroughly remove material particles adhering to the conveyor belt. The cleaning process does not affect the normal operation of the sidewall conveyor belt. It can automatically collect and transport the cleaned material particles without the need for an additional power source.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a belt cleaning device for a sidewall conveyor includes a driven beating part 1 and a scraper cleaning part 2, both of which are driven by a mechanical linkage mechanism.

[0038] The mechanical linkage mechanism includes a drive shaft 5 installed on the drive roller of the sidewall conveyor belt. The two ends of the drive shaft 5 are connected to a first drive gear 3 and a second drive gear 4. The first drive gear 3 drives the driven slapping part 1 to operate through the first drive belt 6, and the second drive gear 4 drives the scraper cleaning part 2 to operate through the second drive belt 7.

[0039] The driven striking part 1 includes striking components 1-1, a striking shaft 1-2, a fixing frame 1-3, and a striking rotating gear 1-4. Two sets of striking components 1-1 are mounted on the striking shaft 1-2 in a cross arrangement. The striking rotating gear 1-4 is also mounted on the striking shaft 1-2. Fixing frames 1-3 are mounted at both ends of the striking shaft 1-2 and are installed on the intermediate frame of the sidewall conveyor. In this example, the striking rotating gear 1-4 drives the striking shaft 1-2 to rotate, which in turn drives the striking components 1-1 to rotate.

[0040] The slapping assembly 1-1 includes a slapping frame 1-1-1 and slapping rollers 1-1-2. One slapping roller 1-1-2 is installed at each of the three corners of the slapping frame 1-1-1. In this example, when the slapping frame 1-1-1 rotates around the center, it drives the three slapping rollers 1-1-2 at the corners to rotate in a circular motion.

[0041] The scraper cleaning section 2 has a driven shaft 2-7, a first shaft 2-8, and a second shaft 2-9 installed inside its housing 2-6. A driven gear 2-1 is mounted on the driven shaft 2-7. A follower gear 2-2 and a first rotating gear 2-3 are mounted on the first shaft 2-8. A second rotating gear 2-4 is mounted on the second shaft 2-9. A chain scraper 2-5 is mounted on the first rotating gear 2-3 and the second rotating gear 2-4. The chain scraper 2-5 has a hollow structure, in which the driven gear 2-1 and the follower gear 2-2 are meshed. In this example, the driven gear 2-1 drives the follower gear 2-2 to rotate in the opposite direction. The follower gear 2-2 drives the first rotating gear 2-3 to rotate via the first shaft 2-8. The chain scraper 2-5, mounted on the first rotating gear 2-3 and the second rotating gear 2-4, then rotates, concentrating and scraping the material particles forward.

[0042] In practical use, such as Figures 9-14 As shown, the drive roller of the sidewall conveyor drives the drive shaft 5 to rotate. At this time, the first drive gear 3 and the second drive gear 4 at both ends of the drive shaft 5 rotate synchronously. The first drive gear 3 transmits power to the driven slapping part 1 through the first drive belt 6, and the second drive gear 4 transmits power to the scraper cleaning part 2 through the second drive belt 7. The slapping component 1-1 in the driven slapping part 1 squeezes and slaps the conveyor belt of the sidewall conveyor, thus controlling the state of the conveyor belt. Figure 9 and Figure 10The left-side striking component 1-1 in the driven striking section 1 squeezes and strikes the conveyor belt of the side-blocking conveyor belt, i.e. Figure 11 and Figure 12 The state of the conveyor belt of the driven slapping section 1, i.e., the right-side slapping component 1-1, is squeezed and slapped, and the conveyor belt of the side guard belt is... Figure 13 and Figure 14 Through continuous operation of the equipment, the left and right slapping components 1-1 alternately squeeze and slap the conveyor belt of the side guard belt. Multiple slapping components 1-1 can be set according to actual needs (not limited to the two shown in the figure). The cleaned material particles fall into the lower scraper cleaning section 2. The chain scraper 2-5 in the scraper cleaning section 2 is driven by the first rotating gear 2-3, which can concentrate and directionally convey the material particles collected in the shell 2-6.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the drive shaft 5 is driven by a motor, which is fixed to the outside of the sidewall conveyor belt and provides power to the equipment independently. All other structural features are the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0045] In this embodiment, the drive shaft 5 is driven by a motor. The characteristics of the motor allow for remote control of the sidewall conveyor belt cleaning device, enabling independent start-stop without a power connection to the sidewall conveyor belt, facilitating the adjustment of equipment operating parameters. However, during the cleaning process, the conveyor belt on the sidewall conveyor belt is squeezed and slapped, causing equipment vibration, which can affect the motor and increase maintenance costs. Those skilled in the art can, in practical use, choose to link with the sidewall conveyor belt or provide a separate power source depending on the specific application scenario.
