[0023] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0024] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the slag conveyor belt cleaning device of this utility model embodiment includes a cleaning component 1 and a drying component 2. The cleaning component 1 includes a water pipe 11 and a first regulating valve 12. One end of the water pipe 11 is adapted to be connected to a water supply port 131, and the other end of the water pipe 11 is located below the conveyor belt 3. The water in the water pipe 11 can rinse the conveyor belt 3. The first regulating valve 12 is provided at one end of the water pipe 11 to regulate the flow rate of the water flowing into the water pipe 11 through the water supply port 131.
[0025] The drying assembly 2 includes an air duct 21 and a second regulating valve 22. One end of the air duct 21 is adapted to be connected to the air supply port 231. The other end of the air duct 21 is located below the conveyor belt 3 and spaced apart from the other end of the water pipe 11. The other end of the air duct 21 is located behind the other end of the water pipe 11. The air in the air duct 21 can dry the water on the conveyor belt 3. The second regulating valve 22 is located at one end of the air duct 21 to regulate the air volume flowing into the air duct 21 through the air supply port 231.
[0026] Specifically, the flow rate into the water pipe 11 through the water supply port 131 is adjusted by the first regulating valve 12 to wash away the slag adhering to the conveyor belt 3, ensuring that the slag on the conveyor belt 3 is washed clean and saving water resources. When the conveyor belt 3, which has been washed by water, passes through the air duct 21, the air in the air duct 21 can blow away the mud and water on the conveyor belt 3 and dry the conveyor belt 3, keeping the conveyor belt 3 clean. The cleaning method is simple and ensures work efficiency and the hygiene of the surrounding environment.
[0027] Therefore, the water-air combination cleaning device for the slag conveyor belt of this utility model can exert a dual cleaning advantage. The water flushing can quickly remove large pieces of slag attached to the surface of the conveyor belt 3, while the air jet can blow away stubborn stains in the gaps and folds of the conveyor belt 3. The two work together to achieve a high degree of cleaning in one go, greatly shorten the cleaning time, and improve the overall cleaning efficiency of the belt conveyor. Moreover, the air assistance can achieve the ideal cleaning effect with a small amount of water, reducing the subsequent sewage discharge and treatment costs, which meets the production needs of environmental protection and energy conservation.
[0028] In some embodiments, the slag conveyor belt cleaning device further includes a control component (not shown), which is connected to the first regulating valve 12 and the second regulating valve 22. The control component can control the opening degree and opening duration of the first regulating valve 12 and the second regulating valve 22 according to the amount of slag adhering to the conveyor belt 3.
[0029] Specifically, the control component flexibly adjusts the opening of the first regulating valve 12 according to the dirt level of the conveyor belt 3, thereby controlling the amount of water sprayed from the water pipe 11 and the rinsing duration to ensure that the conveyor belt 3 is clean and avoid excessive waste of water resources. The control component also flexibly adjusts the opening of the second regulating valve 22 according to the mud and water on the conveyor belt 3, thereby controlling the amount and duration of air sprayed from the air pipe 21 to ensure that the mud and water on the conveyor belt 3 are dried. Furthermore, it can also blow away the dirt adhering to the conveyor belt 3, ensuring the cleanliness of the conveyor belt 3 and improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning device.
[0030] In some embodiments, there are at least two water pipes 11, which are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the conveyor belt 3, and there are at least two first regulating valves 12, which correspond one-to-one with the at least two water pipes 11.
[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are four water pipes 11, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the conveyor belt 3. The distance between one end of the four water pipes 11 is smaller than the distance between the other ends of the four water pipes 11. There are four first regulating valves 12, which correspond one-to-one with the four water pipes 11 to adjust the flow rate into each water pipe 11 through the water supply port 131, so as to save water resources as much as possible while ensuring that the conveyor belt 3 can be cleaned. Specifically, the water pipes 11 are high-pressure hoses.
[0032] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 1 further includes a water supply pipe 13, a first valve 14, and a second valve 15. One end of the water supply pipe 13 is connected to a water source. The first valve 14 is located at one end of the water supply pipe 13 to control the connection and closure of the water source and one end of the water supply pipe 13. The second valve 15 is located on the water supply pipe 13 and adjacent to the first valve 14 to adjust the flow rate of water passing through the second valve 15 according to the amount of slag adhering to the conveyor belt 3 on site. Specifically, the first valve 14 is a manual ball valve, and the second valve 15 is an electric ball valve. A water pump (not shown) is provided between the water supply pipe 13 and the water source. By applying pressure through the water pump, water can be sprayed out of the water pipe 11 in a strong column to wash away large pieces of material adhering to the conveyor belt.
[0033] Water inlets 131 are located on water supply pipes 13 and adjacent to the other end of water supply pipes 13. There are at least two water inlets 131, which are arranged at intervals on water supply pipes 13, and each of the at least two water inlets 131 corresponds to one of the at least two water pipes 11. Specifically, there are four water inlets 131, and each of the four water inlets 131 corresponds to one end of one of the four water pipes 11.
[0034] Specifically, when the slag conveyor belt cleaning device is in use, the project department provides a stable water source to the water supply pipe 13, opens the first valve 14, and adjusts the second valve 15 and the first regulating valve 12 to adjust the flow rate of the high-pressure water sprayed through the other end of the water pipe 11 according to the actual site conditions, so as to effectively remove the slag on the conveyor belt 3.
[0035] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 1 further includes a first pipe clamp 16 and a first nozzle 17. The first pipe clamp 16 is disposed at the other end of the water pipe 11 and is used to fix the other end of the water pipe 11 under the conveyor belt 3 to ensure that the water pipe 11 remains stable when spraying water. The first nozzle 17 is disposed at the other end of the water pipe 11.
[0036] Specifically, the nozzles can be arranged at multiple angles to ensure that the water jets sprayed from the nozzles can fully cover the conveyor belt. The nozzles can spray a strong and fine water jet, which can instantly impact the slag adhering to the conveyor belt 3, ensuring a cleaning effect.
[0037] In some embodiments, there are at least two air ducts 21, which are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the conveyor belt 3, and there are at least two second regulating valves 22, which correspond one-to-one with at least two air ducts 21.
[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are four air ducts 21, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the conveyor belt 3. The distance between one end of the four air ducts 21 is smaller than the distance between the other ends. There are four second regulating valves 22, which correspond one-to-one with the four air ducts 21 to adjust the flow rate of air flowing into each air duct 21 through the air supply port 231, ensuring that the mud and water on the conveyor belt 3 are dried. Specifically, the water pipe 11 is a high-pressure air pipe.
[0039] In some embodiments, the drying assembly 2 further includes an air supply pipe 23, a third valve 24, and a fourth valve 25. One end of the air supply pipe 23 is connected to an air source, which provides a continuous and stable supply of air to the air supply pipe 23. The third valve 24 is located at one end of the air supply pipe 23 to control the connection and disconnection between the air source and the air supply pipe 23. The fourth valve 25 is located on the air supply pipe 23 and adjacent to the third valve 24 to adjust the airflow according to the amount of mud and water carried on the conveyor belt 3. Specifically, the third valve 24 is a manual ball valve, and the fourth valve 25 is an electric ball valve. An air pump (not shown) is provided between the air supply pipe 23 and the air source. By applying pressure through the air pump, air can be ejected at high speed from the air pipe 21 to dry the mud, water, and residual slag on the conveyor belt 3, avoiding mold and corrosion problems caused by a humid environment and extending the service life of the conveyor belt 3.
[0040] In some embodiments, the slag conveyor belt cleaning device of this utility model further includes a monitoring component (not shown). The monitoring component is connected to the control component, the second valve 15 and the fourth valve 25. The monitoring component monitors the degree of dirt on the conveyor belt 3 in real time and automatically starts and adjusts the water and air cleaning program as needed. It does not require constant human supervision, reduces labor costs, and ensures the timeliness and stability of cleaning.
[0041] Air supply outlets 231 are located on air supply ducts 23 and adjacent to the other end of air supply ducts 23. There are at least two air supply outlets 231, which are arranged at intervals on air supply ducts 23, and each of the at least two air supply outlets 231 corresponds to one end of at least two air ducts 21. Specifically, there are four air supply outlets 231, and each of the four air supply outlets 231 corresponds to one end of one of the four air ducts 21.
[0042] Specifically, after the conveyor belt 3 is cleaned by the cleaning component 1, the air pump is started, the third valve 24 and the fourth valve 25 are opened, and the second regulating valve 22 is adjusted so that the air in the air supply pipe 23 can be sprayed out at high speed through the other end of the air pipe 21, powerfully drying the conveyor belt 3 and preventing any residue or embedment of slag from the belt. This provides all-round protection for the conveyor belt 3, rollers, and idlers, reducing wear. In addition, it also reduces the problem of material accumulation in the vertical-to-horizontal section of the conveyor belt 3, reduces the energy consumption of the conveyor belt 3, and maintains the efficient and stable operation of the conveyor belt.
[0043] In some embodiments, the drying assembly 2 further includes a second clamp 26, which is disposed at the other end of the air duct 21 and is used to fix the other end of the air duct 21 under the conveyor belt 3 to ensure that it remains stable when blowing air through the air duct 21 onto the conveyor belt 3.
[0044] In some embodiments, the drying assembly 2 further includes a second nozzle 27, which is located at the other end of the air duct 21. Specifically, the second nozzle 27 is a high-pressure air nozzle. By providing the second nozzle 27, the pressure of the air ejected through the other end of the air duct 21 is increased, ensuring the working efficiency of the drying assembly 2.
[0045] In some embodiments, the central axis of the second nozzle 27 forms an angle with the extension direction of the conveyor belt 3, and the outlet direction of the second nozzle 27 is opposite to the transport direction of the conveyor belt 3, so that the mud and water on the conveyor belt 3 can be blown away more easily, ensuring work efficiency.
