[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0024] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a material conveying device for brewing baijiu (Chinese liquor) includes a belt conveyor 1.

[0025] A U-shaped frame 2 is installed on the frame at the bottom end of the belt conveyor 1. A connecting plate 7 is provided on the surface of the U-shaped frame 2. A scraper 8 is installed on the surface of the connecting plate 7. One side of the scraper 8 abuts against the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 1. The side of the scraper 8 that contacts the belt conveyor 1 is arranged in a C-shape. An inclined guide plate 12 is fixed on one side of the U-shaped frame 2. The bottom of the inclined guide plate 12 is inclined towards the end of the belt conveyor 1.

[0026] The scraper 8 is installed on the connecting plate 7 and comes into close contact with the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 1. The contact side is C-shaped, which perfectly conforms to the surface contour of the conveyor belt and effectively scrapes away any large, wavy material remaining on the conveyor belt, ensuring the cleanliness of the conveyor belt, maintaining its stable and efficient conveying capacity, preventing material residue from affecting subsequent conveying processes, and improving overall production efficiency. The inclined guide plate 12, fixed on one side of the U-shaped frame 2, is inclined at the bottom towards the end of the belt conveyor 1. The material scraped off by the scraper 8 can slide down along the inclined guide plate 12 and automatically collect in the designated collection area.

[0027] Furthermore, an adjustment plate 3 is provided inside the U-shaped frame 2, and a fixed seat 9 is installed on the surface of the adjustment plate 3. A spring 10 is installed inside the fixed seat 9. The spring 10 abuts against one end of a slide rod 11 that is slidably connected inside the fixed seat 9, and the other end of the slide rod 11 is installed on the bottom surface of the connecting plate 7.

[0028] Spring 10 can adaptively adjust the pressure of scraper 8 on the conveyor belt, which can ensure that scraper 8 can continuously and effectively clean materials, prevent damage to the conveyor belt due to excessive pressure, extend the service life of the conveyor belt, and is suitable for different conveying conditions.

[0029] Furthermore, the bottom of the U-shaped frame 2 is threaded with an adjusting screw 4, which passes through one end of the U-shaped frame 2 and is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the adjusting plate 3.

[0030] By rotating the adjusting screw 4, the height of the adjusting plate 3 can be changed in a very precise manner. Since the adjusting plate 3 is connected to the connecting plate 7 and the scraper 8 through the fixed seat 9, spring 10 and slide rod 11, the change in the height of the adjusting plate 3 can directly and precisely adjust the distance and pressure between the scraper 8 and the conveyor belt, ensuring that the scraper 8 can efficiently clean large-brush materials with various characteristics without damaging the conveyor belt.

[0031] Example 2 is an improvement on Example 1:

[0032] The surface of the adjusting plate 3 is integrally formed with a slider 6, and the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 2 is provided with a groove 5 that matches the slider 6. The adjusting plate 3 is slidably connected to the U-shaped frame 2 through the groove 5 of the slider 6.

[0033] The slider 6 is adapted to the slide groove 5, which can provide precise guidance for the movement of the adjusting plate 3. When the height of the adjusting plate 3 is adjusted by adjusting the screw 4, the slider 6 slides smoothly in the slide groove 5, which can ensure that the adjusting plate 3 moves accurately in the vertical direction, avoid deviation or shaking, and ensure that the scraper 8 always remains parallel to the conveyor belt during the adjustment process, maintains efficient cleaning effect, and prevents uneven force on the scraper 8 due to the position deviation of the adjusting plate 3, which may damage the conveyor belt or affect the cleaning quality.

[0034] A protective cover 13 is provided on the outside of the belt conveyor 1. A handle 14 is fixed on the surface of the protective cover 13. A guide strip 20 is fixed on the surface of the frame of the belt conveyor 1. A guide strip groove 21 adapted to the guide strip 20 is opened on the surface of the protective cover 13. The protective cover 13 is slidably connected to the surface of the frame of the belt conveyor 1 through the guide strip 20 and the guide strip groove 21. The protective cover 13 is made of transparent flexible material.

[0035] The transparent and flexible material protective cover 13 can not only block foreign objects from contacting the Daqu material and avoid contamination, but also does not hinder the operator from observing the material conveying status in real time. By sliding the handle 14 along the guide bar 20 and guide bar groove 21, the position of the protective cover 13 can be flexibly adjusted. When the material height changes or the equipment is being maintained, it can be easily partially or fully opened to meet the needs of different working conditions and ensure smooth production.

[0036] An L-shaped fixing plate 16 is fixed to the surface of the frame of the belt conveyor 1. A T-shaped limiting rod 17 is slidably inserted into the surface of the L-shaped fixing plate 16. A plurality of limiting holes 15 are opened at corresponding positions on the surface of the protective cover 13. A spring 18 is sleeved on the outer surface of the T-shaped limiting rod 17. One end of the spring 18 abuts against the L-shaped fixing plate 16, and the other end of the spring 18 abuts against the annular protrusion 19 fixed on the outer surface of the T-shaped limiting rod 17.

[0037] When the position of the protective cover 13 needs to be adjusted, the operator only needs to overcome the elasticity of the second spring 18, pull the T-shaped limiting rod 17 out of the current limiting socket 15, slide the protective cover 13 to the appropriate position, and the T-shaped limiting rod 17 will automatically insert into the corresponding limiting socket 15 under the action of the second spring 18, realizing the rapid positioning and fixing of the protective cover 13. The operation is simple and convenient, without the need for additional tools or complicated operations, improving the efficiency of equipment adjustment. The second spring 18 continuously applies pressure to the T-shaped limiting rod 17 towards the limiting socket 15 to ensure that the T-shaped limiting rod 17 is tightly inserted into the limiting socket 15 and is not easy to fall out, so that the protective cover 13 always stays in the set position and stably performs its protective function.

[0038] Working principle: Place the Daqu material at the starting end of belt conveyor 1, start belt conveyor 1, and the material will begin to be transported smoothly along the conveyor belt;

[0039] If the cleaning effect of scraper 8 is not good during the conveying process, the adjusting screw 4 can be adjusted again to change the pressure between scraper 8 and conveyor belt. By rotating the adjusting screw 4, the height of adjusting plate 3 can be adjusted in a fine and stable manner. Since adjusting plate 3 and scraper 8 are connected by slide rod 11 and spring 10, the pressure of scraper 8 on conveyor belt can be precisely changed. The side of scraper 8 that contacts belt conveyor 1 is C-shaped to better fit the surface of conveyor belt and clean residual materials.

[0040] An inclined guide plate 12 is fixed on one side of the U-shaped frame 2. The bottom of the inclined guide plate 12 is inclined towards the end of the belt conveyor 1 so as to smoothly guide the material scraped off by the scraper 8 to the collection area.

[0041] The protective cover 13 is made of transparent flexible material, which can prevent the material from being damaged by external collisions during the conveying process, and also allows the operator to easily observe the material conveying situation. The protective cover 13 can be flexibly adjusted according to the height of the material through the adjustable height setting.
