AI Technical Summary
The existing scraper conveyor's sprocket drive mechanism is prone to half-drum loosening under long-term heavy load, resulting in loss of transmission capacity. In addition, it is complicated to process and install and has poor stability.
A pair of sprockets of the same size are fixedly connected by flanges, and reinforcing ribs are added at the welded joints to enhance the connection strength. A spline connection is used with the shaft, and the motor drives the output shaft of the reducer to achieve stable transmission.
The sprocket drive mechanism achieves good stability and overall robustness, avoids "rolling key" failure, is easy to install and disassemble, and improves the machine's working efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of coal mine machinery and equipment technology, specifically relating to a sprocket transmission mechanism for a scraper conveyor. Background Technology
[0002] The SGB420 / 40T scraper conveyor is widely used in coal mine roadways for transporting coal. Power is transmitted from an electric motor to a hydraulic coupling, which in turn drives the sprocket shaft assembly to rotate, thus rotating the scraper conveyor and transporting coal. The scraper chain is a double-chain type, installed in the upper and lower troughs of the scraper channel (middle trough, transition trough). It wraps around the sprocket shaft assembly or tail roller at the head and tail of the conveyor, forming a closed, endless chain. The rotation of the sprocket shaft assembly drives the scraper chain to move in the middle trough, completing the coal transport. Since both sprockets rotate simultaneously, a carrier is needed to connect them. This carrier is usually two half-rollers, bolted together to form a single drum. The drum is connected by a key in the middle, thus completing the sprocket drive. However, under prolonged heavy loads, even slight loosening of the half-roller bolts or machining errors can cause the half-rollers to not fully engage, resulting in "key rolling" during operation and loss of transmission capacity, leading to conveyor malfunction. Furthermore, the semi-roller manufacturing process is complex, the installation is complicated, and the stability is poor. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a practical, reliable, easy-to-process, and stable sprocket drive mechanism for a scraper conveyor.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a sprocket drive mechanism for a scraper conveyor, comprising a pair of sprockets of the same size, characterized in that: a sleeve is fixed to one end of each pair of sprockets, and flanges are fixed to the ends of the two sleeves respectively; the two sleeves are fixedly connected by the flanges, so that the pair of sprockets are fixed as a whole; one sprocket of the pair of sprockets is connected to the output shaft of a reducer, and the other sprocket is connected to a blind shaft; a motor drives the output shaft of the reducer, thereby driving the whole composed of the pair of sprockets to achieve stable transmission.
[0005] The two sleeves are connected at their ends with male and female interfaces for connection.
[0006] The pair of sprockets and their corresponding sleeves are fixed by welding, and multiple reinforcing ribs are fixed at the weld seam to further strengthen the connection between the sprockets and the sleeves.
[0007] The reinforcing ribs are welded at intervals around the connection between the sprocket and the sleeve.
[0008] The flanges are machined with round holes for connection. Bolts pass through the round holes of the two flanges and are fastened with nuts, flat washers, and spring washers.
[0009] Both sprockets and the shafts they are connected to are splined.
[0010] The advantages of this utility model are: simple structure, easy to process, good stability, solid overall structure and no "rolling key" failure, realizing the transmission between the output shaft of the reducer and the sprocket and blind shaft, convenient installation and disassembly, and improving the working efficiency of the machine.

[0013] like Figure 1 As shown, a sprocket drive mechanism for a scraper conveyor includes a pair of sprockets 1 of the same size. The mechanism is characterized in that: one end of each pair of sprockets 1 is fixed with a sleeve 2, and the ends of the two sleeves 2 are respectively fixed with flanges 3. The two sleeves 2 are fixedly connected via the flanges 3, thus fixing the pair of sprockets 1 into a single unit. One sprocket 1 is connected to the output shaft of a reducer, and the other sprocket 1 is connected to a blind shaft. A motor drives the output shaft of the reducer, thereby driving the entire assembly of the pair of sprockets 1 to achieve stable transmission.
[0014] The two sleeves 2 are connected by machining male and female interfaces for connection.
[0015] The pair of sprockets 1 and the corresponding sleeves 2 are fixed by welding, and multiple reinforcing ribs 5 are fixed at the weld to further strengthen the connection strength between the sprockets 1 and the sleeves 2.
[0016] The reinforcing ribs 5 are welded at intervals around the connection between the sprocket 1 and the sleeve 2.
[0017] The flange 3 is machined with round holes for connection. Bolts 8 pass through the round holes of the two flanges 3 and are fastened with nuts 4, flat washers 6, and spring washers 7.
[0018] The pair of sprockets 1 and the shafts they are connected to are both splined.
[0019] Manufacturing process: A pair of sprockets 1 are welded to sleeves 2 as one piece. Reinforcing ribs 5 are welded at intervals around the welded sprockets 1 and sleeves 3. Flanges 3 are welded to the outside of the two sleeves 2 respectively. The flanges 3 are machined with round holes for connection. During assembly, bolts 8 are passed through the round holes of the two flanges 3 and fastened with nuts 4, flat washers 6, and spring washers 7. One sprocket 1 is splined to connect to the output shaft of the reducer, and the other sprocket 1 is splined to connect to the blind shaft, forming a stable integrated transmission mechanism.
[0020] During operation, the motor drives the reducer, and the reducer output shaft drives the sprocket transmission mechanism to rotate stably. The sprocket transmission mechanism drives the transmission chain installed on the sprocket, thereby driving the scraper conveyor to operate stably.
