Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of concrete horizontal conveyor belt cleaning equipment, and relates to a water suction mechanism for a belt cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In the prefabrication of highway bridges, the main method for concrete transportation and pouring is the concrete mixer truck + hopper method. This method suffers from long pouring times, significant concrete slump loss, and overlapping operations involving concrete pouring, rebar hoisting, and formwork installation. In recent years, to address these issues, China has introduced a concrete conveying technology using torpedo-shaped concrete mixers and placing booms, which is being widely promoted in smart beam yards. The torpedo-shaped concrete mixer uses a circular track, positioned above the mixing plant and the concrete pouring area. The circular track has a turning radius of 6 meters. Four torpedo-shaped concrete mixers are installed on the track, transporting concrete from the mixing plant to the placing boom along the circular track. Each mixer has a volume of 3 cubic meters. The mixers are operated remotely with multi-function buttons, allowing for multi-point dispensing to accommodate various production conditions. The travel speed is adjustable from 0-60 m / min. Dispensing is done by a 180° rotation, aided by a vibrating motor. The torpedo-shaped concrete mixer travels at 55 m / min on a straight line and 20 m / min on a curved path. The circular track has a straight section of 162m (long side) and a short section of 20m (short side), with a curve length of 18.84m. The time for one loop is 7.56 minutes. The unloading time is 6 minutes. Each trip transports 3 cubic meters of material, resulting in a final efficiency of 2.63 minutes / m². 3 The inventors discovered through on-site investigation that torpedo canisters suffered from a series of defects, including high failure rates, slow operating speeds, and difficulties in cleaning; the use of horizontal conveyor belts for concrete transport solved these problems.

[0003] However, when using a horizontal conveyor belt for concrete transport, concrete tends to adhere to the belt. After cleaning with a belt cleaning device, water easily adheres to the surface, requiring wiping to absorb the water and reduce the amount of concrete carried on the belt. Drying is also slow. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a water absorption mechanism for a belt cleaning device, which can clean the belt, absorb water, and speed up the drying process.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows: a water absorption mechanism for a belt cleaning device includes two U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brushes. The two U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brushes are arranged alternately on both sides of the cleaning tank and can be rotated to elastically clamp the cleaned belt. The outer end of the U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brush is hinged to the outer edge of the top of the cleaning tank. The outer shell of the U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brush is provided with an extension swing rod integrated therewith. The extension swing rod forms an acute angle with the length direction of the U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brush. A compression spring is provided between the end of the U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brush near the hinge and the inner side wall of the cleaning tank. A pull rope is fixedly connected to the end of the extension swing rod. A hanging ring is provided at the free end of the pull rope. The hanging ring can be hooked on the hook provided on the support pile and can keep the U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brush open at this time. The distance between the two U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brushes is greater than the maximum width of the auxiliary cleaning roller.

[0006] Furthermore, the aforementioned U-shaped absorbent sponge brush includes a U-shaped outer shell and a sponge layer fixedly connected to the inside of the U-shaped outer shell, with a flared mouth shape at the open end.

[0007] Furthermore, the width of the aforementioned U-shaped absorbent sponge brush is 100-200mm.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, this utility model is equipped with a U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brush, which can absorb water from the belt after the water tank is lifted and cleaned, reducing the moisture on the belt surface and improving the belt cleaning effect; the use of a swing rod for pulling operation can effectively avoid interference between the sponge brush and the belt during the lifting of the cleaning tank. After reaching the set position, the pull rope is released, and under the reset action of the spring force, the two sponge brushes swing and are elastically clamped on the belt, making the operation convenient and quick.

[0024] The utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Example 1: As Figure 6 and 9As shown in Figure -10, the system includes two U-shaped absorbent sponge brushes 913. Each U-shaped absorbent sponge brush 913 comprises a U-shaped outer shell 912 and a sponge layer fixedly connected to the inner side of the U-shaped outer shell 912. The open end is flared to facilitate the insertion of the U-shaped absorbent sponge brush 913 onto the belt. The two U-shaped absorbent sponge brushes 913 are staggered on both sides of the cleaning tank 901 and can rotate to elastically clamp the cleaned belt. The staggered arrangement can cover the entire width of the belt, thus achieving better water absorption. The outer end of the U-shaped absorbent sponge brush 913 is hinged to the outer edge of the top of the cleaning tank 901. An extension rod 914 is integrally mounted on the outer shell of the U-shaped absorbent sponge brush 913. The extension rod 914 forms an acute angle with the length direction of the U-shaped absorbent sponge brush 913. A compression spring 915 is provided between the extension rod 914 and the side wall of the cleaning tank 901. A pull rope 916 is fixedly connected to the end of the extension rod 914. A hanging ring 917 is provided at the free end of the pull rope 916, which can be hooked onto the support pile 904. The hooks on the upper part of the belt allow the U-shaped absorbent sponge brushes 913 to remain open. The distance between the two U-shaped absorbent sponge brushes 913 is greater than the maximum width of the auxiliary cleaning roller 902. The U-shaped absorbent sponge brushes allow the belt to absorb water after cleaning, reducing moisture on the belt surface and improving cleaning efficiency. The swing arm operation effectively prevents interference between the sponge brushes and the belt during the upward movement of the cleaning tank. Once the set position is reached, the pull rope is released, and the spring force causes the two sponge brushes to swing and elastically clamp onto the belt, making operation convenient and quick. The U-shaped absorbent sponge brushes 913 are 100-200mm wide, ensuring better absorption. Their sufficient width allows for rapid water absorption at the bottom, followed by gradual absorption into the less absorbent top section, effectively removing moisture from the belt surface. This ensures that most of the absorbed water is removed within one cycle, and natural air drying further improves drying efficiency.

[0026] Example 2: As Figure 6 and 9As shown in Figure -10, the belt cleaning device 9 includes a cleaning tank 901 and an auxiliary cleaning roller 902. The auxiliary cleaning roller 902 is rotatably connected to the lower end of a vertical cantilever 903. The upper end of the vertical cantilever 903 is fixedly connected to two support piles 904. The vertical cantilever 903 includes two inverted L-shaped side plates and a connecting beam fixedly connected between the two inverted L-shaped side plates. This structure provides stable and reliable support and can achieve space avoidance. The two support piles 904 are fixedly connected to the ground. The cleaning tank 901 has a water inlet pipe 905 connected near the top and a drain pipe 906 connected near the bottom. The upper end of the cleaning tank 901 is open and connected to the two support piles 904 through a lifting mechanism. A rotating brush 907 is arranged inside the cleaning tank 901. The rotating brush 907 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 901 through a rotating shaft and is arranged side by side with the auxiliary cleaning roller 902. The rotating brush 907 is connected to a drive mechanism. The auxiliary cleaning roller 902 and the tensioning roller 801 are connected to each other. Two transition rollers 908 are horizontally arranged above the space. One of the two transition rollers 908 on the left is connected to the mounting plate 920 via a bearing seat, and the other on the right is connected to the top of two support piles via a bearing seat. The mounting plate 920 is fixedly connected to two tripods 921, and the two tripods 921 are fixedly connected to the support piles 904. A cleaning tank is used to immerse part of the running belt in water for brushing, and water is circulated through inlet and outlet, which greatly improves the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect. A lifting mechanism is used to lift the belt as needed for cleaning. The lifting operation is convenient. The rotating shaft of the rotating brush 907 is connected to the cleaning drive motor 923 via a synchronous belt 922. The cleaning drive motor 923 is fixedly installed on the top of the cleaning tank 901 and is arranged off-center to avoid interference with the structure of the U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brush. The synchronous belt drive is stable and reliable. Plastic pulleys can be used for the synchronous belt to avoid damage caused by rust.

[0027] To facilitate the lifting of the cleaning tank, the lifting mechanism includes a winding rope 909, a fixed pulley 910, and a self-locking winding mechanism 911. One end of the winding rope 909 is fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 901, passes over the fixed pulley 910, and connects to the self-locking winding mechanism 911. The fixed pulley 910 is fixedly connected to a horizontal shaft fixed between two support posts 904. The self-locking winding mechanism 911 is fixedly connected to the ground. The cleaning tank 901 is connected to a guide rail frame 919 via two vertically arranged left-right sliding guide rail pairs 918. The guide rail frame 919 is fixedly connected to the two support posts 904. The cleaning tank is lifted using the winding rope and the self-locking mechanism. The system features a descent control mechanism, convenient and quick operation, reliable and stable connection, and an empty water tank during lifting, saving time and effort. Water is replenished to the set height after reaching the set position, and then added and drained simultaneously for more thorough cleaning. The self-locking winding mechanism 911 includes a self-locking worm gear transmission and a winding drum. Both ends of the winding drum are fixed to the ground via bearing seats, and the winding drum is connected to the output shaft of the worm gear transmission via a drive shaft. The worm gear transmission is fixed to the ground, and its input shaft is connected to a rotating handle, which enables winding. Its self-locking worm gear transmission allows for on-the-spot positioning, saving time and effort.

[0028] After cleaning, belts easily absorb water on their surface, requiring wiping to absorb the moisture and reduce the amount of water carried on the belt. Drying is slow, so a U-shaped absorbent sponge brush (913) is recommended. Figure 6 and 9-10, the belt cleaning device 9 also includes two U-shaped absorbent sponge brushes 913. Each U-shaped absorbent sponge brush 913 includes a U-shaped outer shell 912 and a sponge layer fixedly connected to the inside of the U-shaped outer shell 912. The open end is flared to facilitate the insertion of the U-shaped absorbent sponge brush 913 onto the belt. The two U-shaped absorbent sponge brushes 913 are staggered on both sides of the cleaning tank 901 and can rotate to elastically clamp the cleaned belt. Their cross-arrangement covers the entire width of the belt, thus achieving better water absorption. The outer ends of the U-shaped absorbent sponge brushes 913 are hinged to the outer edge of the top of the cleaning tank 901. The outer casing of unit 3 is equipped with an integrated extension swing rod 914. The extension swing rod 914 forms an acute angle with the U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brush 913 along its length. A compression spring 915 is provided between the extension swing rod 914 and the side wall of the cleaning tank 901. A pull rope 916 is fixedly connected to the end of the extension swing rod 914. A hanging ring 917 is provided at the free end of the pull rope 916. The hanging ring 917 can be hooked onto the hook provided on the support pile 904, and at this time, it can keep the U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brush 913 open. The distance between the two U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brushes 913 is greater than the maximum width of the auxiliary cleaning roller 902. The U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brushes are used to clean the water tank after it is lifted. After cleaning, the system can absorb water from the belt, reducing moisture on the belt surface and improving cleaning efficiency. The swing arm operation effectively prevents interference between the sponge brushes and the belt during the cleaning tank's ascent. Once the set position is reached, releasing the pull rope allows the spring force to return the two sponge brushes to their elastic position on the belt, making operation convenient and quick. The U-shaped absorbent sponge brush (913) has a width of 100-200mm, ensuring better absorption. Its sufficient width allows for rapid water absorption at the bottom, followed by gradual absorption into the less absorbent top section, effectively removing moisture from the belt surface. The belt cleaning system can remove most of the water absorbed by the belt within one cycle, and improve drying efficiency by allowing it to air dry naturally. The water inlet is set with a row of nozzles 923, which are connected in parallel to the main pipe 924. The main pipe 924 is connected to the water inlet pipe and is fixedly connected to the inside of the cleaning tank near the top by a clamp, ensuring that the nozzles are arranged downwards. The inclined water jet is sprayed onto the output belt section that is not immersed in water. For the belt after brushing, a secondary rinse is achieved for a more thorough cleaning. The clamp connection allows for easy angle adjustment to find the optimal rinsing angle. The water inlet pipe is connected to the water pump to ensure stable water pressure.

[0029] To enhance the functionality of belt cleaning, a belt tensioning mechanism is installed before the belt cleaning device.

[0030] The cleaning method of the belt cleaning device is as follows: When cleaning is required, stop the belt conveyor, raise the cleaning box to the set position and fix it through the lifting mechanism, then close the valve installed on the drain pipe, and add water through the inlet pipe. When the water level reaches the point of submerging the auxiliary cleaning drum, start the belt conveyor and rotating brush, and open the valve installed on the drain pipe. The valve opening should ensure that the water level always submerges the auxiliary cleaning drum. The belt will start to move. At this time, the nozzles at the inlet pipe will spray the belt to rinse the brushed belt section. After rinsing a section, control the U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brush to rotate and clamp the belt to absorb water. After two cycles, if the belt is found to be clean, stop the belt from moving, control the U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brush to rotate and open to make room, and control the lifting mechanism to lower the cleaning box to complete the cleaning.

[0031] Example 3: As Figures 1-15 As shown, a horizontal concrete conveyor system for T-beam production includes an upper short belt conveyor 1, a lower short belt conveyor 2, an upper long belt conveyor 3, and a lower long belt conveyor 4. The upper short belt conveyor 1 and upper long belt conveyor 3 are installed side-by-side on the upper part of the conveyor frame 5 with their starting ends flush. The lower short belt conveyor 2 and lower long belt conveyor 4 are installed on two sets of traveling tracks at the bottom of the conveyor frame 5 via an electric traveling mechanism. The lower short belt conveyor 2 and lower long belt conveyor 4 can respectively face the upper short belt conveyor 1 and upper long belt conveyor 3. The long belt conveyor 4 covers three placing booms 6 respectively. The mixing plant 7 is installed above the starting end of the upper short belt conveyor 1 and the upper long belt conveyor 3 and can be directly opposite the two discharge ports of the mixing plant 7. The two upper belts correspond to the two lower belts, which can cover 6 placing booms at the same time, and then pour 12 T beams, which greatly improves the pouring efficiency and the production efficiency of T beams, and meets the requirements of T beam erection with short construction period. The belt conveyor is directly and linearly transported, which also greatly improves the concrete conveying efficiency. The belt is an open-air structure, which is also convenient for cleaning and greatly reduces the failure rate. The belt conveyor frame 5 is connected to the ground through multiple mounting columns.

[0032] To improve the reliability of belt operation, the upper short belt conveyor 1 and the upper long belt conveyor 3 are equipped with belt tensioning mechanisms 8, such as... Figure 6-8As shown, the belt tensioning mechanism 8 includes a tensioning roller 801 and a counterweight 802. The tensioning roller 801 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the tensioning frame 804 via a tensioning shaft 803. The counterweight 802 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the tensioning frame 804. The two sides of the tensioning frame 804 are vertically slidably connected to two guide rods 806 via guide connecting ears 805. The two guide rods 806 are vertically suspended and connected to two support columns 807. The upper ends of the two support columns 807 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the belt frame 808 of the upper short belt conveyor 1 or the upper long belt conveyor 3, and the lower ends are fixedly connected to the ground. The cylinder 801 can pull the passing belt 809 downward. Two guide rollers 810 are provided on the belt frame 808. The two guide rollers 810 are located above the tensioning roller 801 on both sides. The belt tensioning mechanism consists of a tensioning roller and a counterweight. The belt is tensioned by the weight of the counterweight. The structure is simple. The counterweight can slide automatically along the guide rod to achieve adaptive tensioning, ensuring the reliability of tensioning. It avoids the problem of needing to readjust the belt after it loosens due to the existing bolts and other methods of fixing after tensioning. It greatly reduces the possibility of belt conveyor downtime and ensures higher production reliability.

[0033] For ease of arrangement, the two guide rollers 810 are flush with the idler rollers on the belt frame, keeping them flush with the idler rollers to reduce the space occupied at the belt tensioning point and facilitate arrangement.

[0034] To facilitate the manufacture of the counterweight, the counterweight 802 includes an iron box 811 and a concrete block 812 poured inside the iron box 811. The front end of the iron box 811 is provided with a pouring port 813, and the top surface is set as a slope. A V-shaped collecting groove 814 is set on the slope. The lowest end of the V-shaped collecting groove 814 is connected to a drainage pipe 815. The counterweight uses an iron box and iron filings to arrange concrete blocks inside, which is convenient to manufacture. Moreover, the internal filling amount can be adjusted to control the required tension. The top surface is set with a slope and a V-shaped collecting groove, which facilitates the drainage of cement dripping onto the slope to a lower place for treatment through the drainage pipe.

[0035] To facilitate the installation of the counterweight and ensure reliable support, the tensioning frame 804 has a U-shaped frame structure. Two bearing seats 816 are fixedly connected to the two top ends, and multiple longitudinal support beams are connected to the bottom crossbeam. The multiple longitudinal support beams and the crossbeam are all fixedly connected to the bottom of the counterweight 802. The U-shaped tensioning frame structure is simple and is fixed to the side and bottom of the iron box of the counterweight, which can play a better supporting role. The multiple longitudinal support beams are welded and fixed to the iron box to improve the support strength and rigidity.

[0036] To facilitate the installation of the counterweight, the upper and lower ends of the two guide rods 806 are fixedly connected to the two cantilever beams 817 respectively. The other end of each cantilever beam 817 is fixedly connected to a connecting flange plate 818. The connecting flange plate 818 is fixedly connected to the support column 807 by a clamp 819. The cantilever beams support the guide rods, which makes it easy to install the counterweight away from the support column, thereby avoiding the arrangement of the counterweight block and also making it easy to arrange the belt vertically on the tensioning roller.

[0037] After the belt has run, although the scraper can clean it to some extent, a large amount of debris will still remain on the belt, requiring cleaning to avoid affecting its next use. Therefore, a cleaning device is used for cleaning. Specifically, the concrete horizontal belt conveyor system used for T-beam production also includes a belt cleaning device 9. Figure 6 and 9 As shown in Figure -10, the belt cleaning device 9 includes a cleaning tank 901 and an auxiliary cleaning roller 902. The auxiliary cleaning roller 902 is rotatably connected to the lower end of a vertical cantilever 903. The upper end of the vertical cantilever 903 is fixedly connected to two support piles 904. The vertical cantilever 903 includes two inverted L-shaped side plates and a connecting beam fixedly connected between the two inverted L-shaped side plates. This structure provides stable and reliable support and can achieve space avoidance. The two support piles 904 are fixedly connected to the ground. The cleaning tank 901 has a water inlet pipe 905 connected near the top and a drain pipe 906 connected near the bottom. The upper end of the cleaning tank 901 is open and connected to the two support piles 904 through a lifting mechanism. A rotating brush 907 is arranged inside the cleaning tank 901. The rotating brush 907 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 901 through a rotating shaft and is arranged side by side with the auxiliary cleaning roller 902. The rotating brush 907 is connected to a drive mechanism. The auxiliary cleaning roller 902 and the tensioning roller 801 are connected to each other. Two transition rollers 908 are horizontally arranged above the space. One of the two transition rollers 908 on the left is connected to the mounting plate 920 via a bearing seat, and the other on the right is connected to the top of two support piles via a bearing seat. The mounting plate 920 is fixedly connected to two tripods 921, and the two tripods 921 are fixedly connected to the support piles 904. A cleaning tank is used to immerse part of the running belt in water for brushing, and water is circulated through inlet and outlet, which greatly improves the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect. A lifting mechanism is used to lift the belt as needed for cleaning. The lifting operation is convenient. The rotating shaft of the rotating brush 907 is connected to the cleaning drive motor 923 via a synchronous belt 922. The cleaning drive motor 923 is fixedly installed on the top of the cleaning tank 901 and is arranged off-center to avoid interference with the structure of the U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brush. The synchronous belt drive is stable and reliable. Plastic pulleys can be used for the synchronous belt to avoid damage caused by rust.

[0038] To facilitate the lifting of the cleaning tank, the lifting mechanism includes a winding rope 909, a fixed pulley 910, and a self-locking winding mechanism 911. One end of the winding rope 909 is fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 901, passes over the fixed pulley 910, and connects to the self-locking winding mechanism 911. The fixed pulley 910 is fixedly connected to a horizontal shaft fixed between two support posts 904. The self-locking winding mechanism 911 is fixedly connected to the ground. The cleaning tank 901 is connected to a guide rail frame 919 via two vertically arranged left-right sliding guide rail pairs 918. The guide rail frame 919 is fixedly connected to the two support posts 904. The cleaning tank is lifted using the winding rope and the self-locking mechanism. The system features a descent control mechanism, convenient and quick operation, reliable and stable connection, and an empty water tank during lifting, saving time and effort. Water is replenished to the set height after reaching the set position, and then added and drained simultaneously for more thorough cleaning. The self-locking winding mechanism 911 includes a self-locking worm gear transmission and a winding drum. Both ends of the winding drum are fixed to the ground via bearing seats, and the winding drum is connected to the output shaft of the worm gear transmission via a drive shaft. The worm gear transmission is fixed to the ground, and its input shaft is connected to a rotating handle, which enables winding. Its self-locking worm gear transmission allows for on-the-spot positioning, saving time and effort.

[0039] After cleaning, belts easily absorb water on their surface, requiring wiping to absorb the moisture and reduce the amount of water carried on the belt. Drying is slow, so a U-shaped absorbent sponge brush (913) is recommended. Figure 6 and 9-10, the belt cleaning device 9 also includes two U-shaped absorbent sponge brushes 913. Each U-shaped absorbent sponge brush 913 includes a U-shaped outer shell 912 and a sponge layer fixedly connected to the inside of the U-shaped outer shell 912. The open end is flared to facilitate the insertion of the U-shaped absorbent sponge brush 913 onto the belt. The two U-shaped absorbent sponge brushes 913 are staggered on both sides of the cleaning tank 901 and can rotate to elastically clamp the cleaned belt. Their cross-arrangement covers the entire width of the belt, thus achieving better water absorption. The outer ends of the U-shaped absorbent sponge brushes 913 are hinged to the outer edge of the top of the cleaning tank 901. The outer casing of unit 3 is equipped with an integrated extension swing rod 914. The extension swing rod 914 forms an acute angle with the U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brush 913 along its length. A compression spring 915 is provided between the extension swing rod 914 and the side wall of the cleaning tank 901. A pull rope 916 is fixedly connected to the end of the extension swing rod 914. A hanging ring 917 is provided at the free end of the pull rope 916. The hanging ring 917 can be hooked onto the hook provided on the support pile 904, and at this time, it can keep the U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brush 913 open. The distance between the two U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brushes 913 is greater than the maximum width of the auxiliary cleaning roller 902. The U-shaped water-absorbing sponge brushes are used to clean the water tank after it is lifted. After cleaning, the system can absorb water from the belt, reducing moisture on the belt surface and improving cleaning efficiency. The swing arm operation effectively prevents interference between the sponge brushes and the belt during the cleaning tank's ascent. Once the set position is reached, releasing the pull rope allows the spring force to return the two sponge brushes to their elastic position on the belt, making operation convenient and quick. The U-shaped absorbent sponge brush (913) has a width of 100-200mm, ensuring better absorption. Its sufficient width allows for rapid water absorption at the bottom, followed by gradual absorption into the less absorbent top section, effectively removing moisture from the belt surface. The belt cleaning system can remove most of the water absorbed by the belt within one cycle, and improve drying efficiency by allowing it to air dry naturally. The water inlet is set with a row of nozzles 923, which are connected in parallel to the main pipe 924. The main pipe 924 is connected to the water inlet pipe and is fixedly connected to the inside of the cleaning tank near the top by a clamp, ensuring that the nozzles are arranged downwards. The inclined water jet is sprayed onto the output belt section that is not immersed in water. For the belt after brushing, a secondary rinse is achieved for a more thorough cleaning. The clamp connection allows for easy angle adjustment to find the optimal rinsing angle. The water inlet pipe is connected to the water pump to ensure stable water pressure.

[0040] To achieve better scraping results on the concrete surface indicated by the belt, such as Figure 12-13As shown, the concrete horizontal belt conveyor system also includes an upper belt discharge scraper 10. The discharge scraper 10 includes a first scraper plate 1001 and a second scraper plate 1002. The first scraper plate 1001 and the second scraper plate 1002 are made of rigid plastic plates and are fixedly connected to both sides of an inverted T-shaped metal support plate 1003 with a gap. Flexible rubber scraper blades 1004 are arranged along the length of the top of the first scraper plate 1001 and the second scraper plate 1002. The metal support plate 1003 is fixedly connected to two swing rods 1005 near both ends. The two swing rods 1005 are hinged to the side wall of the discharge hopper 1006 near the middle and their ends extend beyond the rear end of the side wall of the discharge hopper 1006. A fixed drive shaft 1008 is connected, with its middle section hinged to the cylinder rod of a cylinder 1007. The cylinder seat of the cylinder 1007 is hinged to the side wall of the discharge hopper 1006, and this hinge point is located below the hinge point between the swing rod 1005 and the side wall. After the cylinder 1007 extends, it can simultaneously press the first layer scraper 1001 and the second layer scraper 1002 against the lower left of the discharge end of the upper belt conveyor. The use of double-layer scraper plates can achieve better scraping of mud. The hard plastic scraper plates provide better support rigidity, and when the flexible plastic scraper blades contact the belt, they can more stably scrape the concrete adhering to the belt, ensuring stable and reliable scraping. On the other hand, they can better reduce... To mitigate the impact of vibration and prevent excessive vibration from degrading the scraping effect, a T-shaped metal support plate is used. This provides spacing and facilitates installation. Corrosion-resistant bolts (110) pass through the two scraper blades and the T-shaped metal support plate, and are then secured with corrosion-resistant nuts. The two scraper blades and the T-shaped metal support plate are also positioned using locating pins (1011). The scraper blades have stepped holes for accommodating the bolt heads and nuts. Sealing the stepped holes with a cap prevents cement mortar from entering and corroding the bolts. A cylinder controls the extension and retraction of the scraper blades during use or cleaning. This design ensures that if water enters the scraper blades after contact, the scraper blade ends can be protected. The cylinder provides both wiping and rinsing functions for the scraper blades. Furthermore, the cylinder's extension and retraction maintain a certain elasticity, preventing poor stability in the scraper blade contact caused by the fixing method. A dust cover 1009 is installed above the cylinder to prevent cement mortar from falling and protect the cylinder. The top surface of the metal support plate 1003 has symmetrical slopes on both sides, facilitating the automatic collection and outflow of accumulated slurry. Vibration during belt movement also helps the slurry slide off. The flexible rubber scraper blade 1004 has a cylindrical structure with a T-shaped strip 1012 at the bottom. The T-shaped strip 1012 elastically presses into the T-groove at the top of the first scraper blade 1001 or the second scraper blade 1002, making installation convenient and quick.

[0041] like Figure 14-15As shown, to ensure stable unloading of material from the lower belt into the placing boom, the concrete horizontal belt conveyor system also includes a lower traveling belt positioning device. This device comprises a brake shoe positioning device 11 and a touch switch 12. Two brake shoe positioning devices 11 are installed on the conveyor frame 5 to lock the front and rear rows of traveling wheels 14. The touch switch 12 is installed on one side of the traveling track 13. When the touch switch is activated, the brake shoe positioning device 11 positions one row of traveling wheels in the traveling direction based on the touch signal. After positioning, another device positions the other row of traveling wheels. Positioning both rows of traveling wheels effectively limits the movement of the traveling belt, preventing displacement during material unloading. The device enables fixed-point conveying and unloading of materials into the fabric placing machine, improving unloading reliability. The brake shoe positioning device 11 includes a shoe block 1101 and a vertical lifting drive mechanism 1102. The shoe block 1101 is vertically slidably connected in a sliding groove 1103. After moving upwards, the arc-shaped surface of the shoe block can fit against the surface of the traveling wheel. The bottom is connected to the vertical lifting drive mechanism 1102, which, by driving the shoe block upwards, can limit the movement of the traveling wheel. After the shoe block moves downwards, it is lower than the top rail surface of the traveling guide rail. The shoe block 1101 is provided with a vertical strip hole 1104, and two guide pins 1105 are vertically spaced apart in the vertical strip hole 1104 and fixedly connected to the two guide pins 1105, which are fixedly connected to the fixed frame 1106. The upper fixed frame 1106 is fixedly connected to the notch of the traveling guide rail 13. It uses double guide pins to allow for qualitative movement of the iron filings, improving the accuracy of the qualitative movement and preventing detachment. The upper and lower lifting drive mechanism 1102 includes a pressure rod 1107, a first connecting rod 1108, a second connecting rod 1109, and a driving hydraulic cylinder 1110. One end of the pressure rod 1107 abuts against the bottom of the iron filings 1101 and is hinged to the bottom of the traveling guide rail 13 near the center via a hinge seat 1111. The other end of the pressure rod 1107 is hinged to the first connecting rod 1108, and the other end of the first connecting rod 1108 is hinged to the cylinder rod end of the driving hydraulic cylinder 1110. One end of the second connecting rod 1109 is hinged to the upper middle part of the first connecting rod 1108, and the other end... The end of the hydraulic cylinder 1110 is hinged to the top of the cylinder seat near the cylinder rod. The tail of the hydraulic cylinder 1110 is hinged to the vertical cantilever seat 1112. The upper end of the vertical cantilever seat 1112 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the travel guide rail 13. After the hydraulic cylinder extends, it can move the iron chip block down by the connecting rod. After it retracts, it can move the iron shoe block up. The power mechanism is arranged away from the iron chip block for easy installation. The connecting rod mechanism realizes power transmission, and the force transmission is stable and reliable. It can realize the slow application of force and reduce impact. The pressure rod 1107 is set in the shape of a spoon or is rotatably connected to a roller at the bottom end of the iron shoe block 1101. When it is spoon-shaped, the convex surface is close to the bottom surface of the iron shoe block 1101, which can reduce friction and improve the pressing stability.

[0042] By adopting a horizontal concrete belt conveyor, the concrete conveying time per cubic meter in the original torpedo tank was reduced from 2.63 min / m.3 Reduced to 0.653 min / m 3 This improved the efficiency of concrete transportation by 300% and also reduced slump loss during concrete transportation.

[0043] Torpedo canisters exert concentrated loads on the track, requiring high track strength and resulting in high track costs. Concrete horizontal belt conveyors, on the other hand, use surface stress, which has lower requirements for belt support stiffness and load-bearing capacity, thus offering cost savings.

[0044] Four torpedo containers are installed on the circular track. If one of the torpedo containers malfunctions, the entire concrete transport system becomes unusable, significantly impacting production.

[0045] Torpedo canisters are complex to clean, requiring individual cleaning after each use, which is time-consuming. Belt conveyors, by installing custom-designed scrapers, eliminate the need for cleaning, reducing water waste and wastewater treatment associated with cleaning transport equipment.

[0046] In terms of cost, the total cost of the torpedo tank and running track at the Guangmian Smart Beam Yard was 2.72 million yuan, and the total cost of the belt conveyor was 2.2 million yuan. Cost savings amounted to 520,000 yuan.

[0047] The method for conveying concrete in a horizontal belt conveyor system for T-beam production is as follows: After the concrete obtained from mixing at the batching plant is discharged, it is stored in a storage hopper below the discharge port. After the lower short belt conveyor, the lower long belt conveyor, and their corresponding covering placing booms are in place, the storage hopper of the batching plant begins to discharge from the discharge port. The concrete is conveyed from the upper long belt conveyor to the lower long belt conveyor, and from the upper short belt conveyor to the lower short belt conveyor. The lower long belt conveyor and the lower short belt conveyor respectively cover multiple placing booms at a distance and multiple placing booms nearby, and can be positioned in one of the placing booms for unloading.

[0048] The upper short belt conveyor (65m in length) and the lower short belt conveyor (23m in length) are responsible for the concrete transportation and pouring of the nearby No. 1-3 concrete placing booms.

[0049] The upper long belt conveyor (120m long) and the lower long belt conveyor (36m long) are responsible for transporting and pouring concrete for the No. 4-6 concrete placing booms at a distance.

[0050] The upper short belt conveyor and the upper long belt conveyor rotate in the forward direction to complete the concrete transport from the mixing plant to the lower belt.

[0051] The lower short belt conveyor completes the concrete transport from the upper belt to the No. 1, 2 and No. 3 placing booms by reversing the forward and reverse directions.

[0052] The lower long belt conveyor completes the concrete transport from the upper belt to the No. 4, 5 and 6 placing booms by reversing the forward and reverse directions.

[0053] Concrete belt conveyors can simultaneously receive and discharge concrete, and can transport 2.5m of concrete over time. 3 The concrete pouring time was 1.633 min, and the final efficiency was 0.653 min / m. 3 .

[0054] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
