Detailed Implementation

[0025] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Specific Implementation

[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model is a novel anti-pinch device for conveyor belts, including a conveyor belt 1 and two side supports 2. A first anti-pinch detection component 3 and a second anti-pinch detection component 4 are installed vertically between the two side supports 2. The first anti-pinch detection component 3 and the second anti-pinch detection component 4 are respectively used to prevent the operator's hand or other object from entering the gap between the conveyor belt 1 and other components from above and being pinched, and to prevent the operator's hand or other object from entering the gap between the conveyor belt 1 and other components from below and being pinched.

[0028] Specifically, the first anti-pinch detection component 3 includes a rotating shaft 5 that passes through both side supports 2. The rotating shaft 5 is rotatably engaged with the side supports 2. A baffle 6 is fixedly installed on the circumference of the rotating shaft 5. A diamond-shaped block 7 is fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 5. A first limit switch 8 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the side supports 2. The operating head of the first limit switch 8 (the operating head consists of a roller and a push rod) is slidably engaged with the diamond-shaped block 7. When the operator's hand approaches the conveyor belt and touches the baffle 6 of the first anti-pinch detection component 3, the baffle 6 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, and the diamond-shaped blocks 7 at both ends of the rotating shaft 5 rotate accordingly. When the diamond-shaped blocks 7 rotate, they apply pressure to the roller. An oblique thrust is applied, which is transmitted to the push rod via the roller, causing the push rod to retract into the first limit switch 8. Since the normally closed contact of the limit switch is connected in series in the main circuit that controls the operation of the track motor, or its normally open contact is connected to the signal input terminal of the control circuit, the retraction of the push rod will drive the contact to move, causing the normally closed contact to open or the normally open contact to close. This change in the contact state will change the circuit state, and the signal will be transmitted to the control system. After receiving the signal, the control system will issue a command to stop the track, thereby preventing the operator's limbs from being pinched and realizing the anti-pinch function.

[0029] A lifting ring column 9 located on one side of a rhombus block 7 is fixedly installed on the outer side of one side bracket 2. A tension spring 10 is installed between the lifting ring column 9 and the rhombus block 7. When the first anti-pinch detection component 3 is triggered, the rotating shaft 5 drives the rhombus block 7 to rotate, which increases the distance between the two connection points of the tension spring 10, and the tension spring 10 stretches accordingly. When the operator moves his hand away from the conveyor belt 1, the tension spring 10 elastically recovers, causing the rhombus block 7 to rotate in the opposite direction. The reset mechanism in the first limit switch 8 drives the operating head to return to its original position, ensuring that the conveyor device resumes normal operation.

[0030] A positioning pin 11 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the other bracket 2. A slot 12 is opened on one side of the other rhombus block 7. The slot 12 is engaged with the positioning pin 11. When the first anti-pinch detection component 3 is triggered, the rotating shaft 5 drives the other rhombus block 7 to rotate, so that the slot 12 on the other rhombus block 7 gradually approaches the positioning pin 11. When the positioning pin 11 is fully engaged in the slot 12, the rhombus block 7 can no longer rotate in the same direction. The rotating shaft 5 and the baffle 6 also cannot rotate, thereby preventing the rhombus block 7 from rotating excessively and causing the operating head of the first limit switch 8 to disengage from the contour surface of the rhombus block 7, so that the first limit switch 8 issues a recovery command.

[0031] Furthermore, the second anti-pinch detection component 4 includes two fixed seats 18 installed on the inner side of the side bracket 2. The two fixed seats 18 are symmetrically arranged, and a guide rod 13 is fixedly installed between the two fixed seats 18. A connecting block 14 is slidably fitted through the side of the guide rod 13. A reset spring 15 located below the connecting block 14 is sleeved on the side of the guide rod 13. A pressure plate 16 is fixedly installed on one side of both connecting blocks 14. A second limit switch 17 located below the pressure plate 16 is installed on the inner side of both side brackets 2. When the operator's hand is about to get stuck in the conveyor belt 1... When the bottom frame is lowered, it will pass through the gap between the conveyor belt 1 and the pressure plate 16. Since the gap is smaller than the thickness of a palm, the pressure plate 16 moves down, causing the connecting block 14 to slide down along the guide rod 13, compressing the reset spring 15. At the same time, the pressure plate 16 presses down on the operating head of the second limit switch 17, causing the second limit switch 17 to transmit a signal to the control system of the conveyor belt 1, causing the conveyor belt 1 to stop running. After the operator removes his hand, the reset spring 15 pushes the connecting block 14 and the pressure plate 16 to reset, and the conveyor device can resume normal operation.

[0032] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When the conveyor belt is running normally, if the operator touches the baffle 6 and causes it to rotate, the baffle 6 will drive the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, and the diamond blocks 7 at both ends of the rotating shaft 5 will rotate accordingly. When the diamond blocks 7 rotate, they will push the operating head of the first limit switch 8 to change the contact state of the first limit switch 8 (normally closed contact opens or normally open contact closes). The signal is transmitted to the control system, and the control system issues a command to stop the conveyor belt to avoid injury to the limbs. When the operator moves his hand away from the conveyor belt, the tension spring 10 returns to its elasticity, causing the diamond blocks 7 to rotate in the opposite direction. The operating head of the first limit switch 8 returns to its original position, and the conveyor belt resumes normal operation.

[0033] If an operator's hand is about to get caught in the base frame below the conveyor belt 1, and the hand passes through the gap between the conveyor belt 1 and the pressure plate 16, because the gap is smaller than the thickness of the palm, the pressure plate 16 will move downward, causing the connecting block 14 to slide down along the guide rod 13, compressing the reset spring 15. At the same time, the pressure plate 16 presses the operating head of the second limit switch 17, and the second limit switch 17 transmits a signal to the control system, causing the conveyor belt to stop running. After the operator removes their hand, the reset spring 15 pushes the connecting block 14 and the pressure plate 16 to reset, and the conveyor belt resumes normal operation.
