Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of concrete conveying equipment, and specifically relates to a connection node of adjacent material supply and conveying lines. Background Technology

[0002] The dam construction involves a large volume of concrete pouring, and traditional concrete pump trucks are insufficient to meet the pouring efficiency requirements. Currently, a construction solution using a tower crane for concrete transportation exists. A tower crane typically consists of a concrete conveyor line and a tower crane. The concrete conveyor line transports concrete over a long distance from the concrete supply point to the tower crane. The tower crane is equipped with a placing conveyor belt, which then transfers the concrete from the conveyor line to the placing conveyor belt for precise delivery to the pouring point.

[0003] The concrete conveying line consists of multiple conveyor belts, which are overlapped to transport concrete over long distances. Since the conveyor belts need to be raised gradually as the dam is poured, the installation elevation and inclination angle of each conveyor belt are different. Furthermore, the elevation of each conveyor belt is constantly changing throughout the construction process. Therefore, it is particularly important that the overlap between two adjacent conveyor belts can stably transport and receive concrete. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a connection node for adjacent material supply and conveying lines to solve the problem of concrete conveying between adjacent conveyor belts.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A connection node for adjacent sections of a material supply and conveying line includes a first conveyor belt, a second conveyor belt, and a support column, wherein the discharge end of the first conveyor belt and the inlet end of the second conveyor belt are both attached to the support column.

[0007] A casting cylinder is provided above the supporting column, the output end of the first conveyor belt is located above the casting cylinder, and the feed end of the second conveyor belt is located below the casting cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, a support frame and a sliding support are fixed to the top of the support column. The sliding support is installed near the bottom of the support frame, and the sleeve is installed near the top of the support frame.

[0009] Furthermore, an installation platform is provided on the top of the support column, and the installation platform is geometrically symmetrical about the center of the support column;

[0010] Two sets of first and second conveyor belts are symmetrically overlapped on the installation platform.

[0011] Furthermore, a guardrail is installed on the side of the installation platform, and the guardrail is located in the area between the two sets of the first conveyor belts.

[0012] Furthermore, the support frame includes a base plate and side columns disposed on both sides of the base plate. The base plate is fixed to the mounting platform, the sliding support is installed above the base plate and located between the two side columns, and the sleeve is fixed between the two side columns.

[0013] Furthermore, the side column is bent relative to the side away from the base plate, and the sleeve is simultaneously fixed to the end faces of the two side columns.

[0014] Furthermore, the casting cylinder includes a cylinder body and a fixing plate fixed on the cylinder body, and a hinge plate for connecting the first conveyor belt is provided above the fixing plate.

[0015] Furthermore, two hinge plates are provided, and the two hinge plates are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the cylinder.

[0029] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be thorough and complete.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, tower conveyor belt feeding lines typically need to traverse long distances, using multiple conveyor belts to transport concrete in stages. Since multiple tower cranes are usually deployed on-site, multiple concrete conveying lines are required to meet transportation demands. This application discloses a connection node for adjacent sections of the feeding conveyor belt, comprising a first conveyor belt 1 and a second conveyor belt 2, wherein the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 are any two interconnected conveyor belts on the concrete conveying line.

[0031] A support column 3 is provided at the junction of the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2. The discharge end of the first conveyor belt 1 and the inlet end of the second conveyor belt 2 are both connected to the support column 3. Thus, the support column 3 provides partial support for the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2. In addition, it can also allow the concrete output from the first conveyor belt 1 to fall onto the second conveyor belt 2.

[0032] A mounting platform 7 is installed on the top of the support column 3. A support frame 5 is fixed on the mounting platform 7. A sliding support 6 is installed near the bottom of the support frame 5, and a casting cylinder 4 is installed near the top of the support frame 5. The feed end of the second conveyor belt 2 overlaps with the sliding support 6 and is located below the casting cylinder 4. The second conveyor belt 2 overlaps with the sliding support 6 to achieve a sliding connection between the second conveyor belt 2 and the sliding support 6. The sliding support 6 includes a roller seat and a base. The base is fixedly installed, and the roller seat is hinged to the base to achieve a rotatable connection of the roller seat, so that the second conveyor belt 2 can slide and rotate relative to the support frame 5. The discharge end of the first conveyor belt 1 is hinged above the casting cylinder 4, so that the concrete transported by the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 1 can fall onto the second conveyor belt 2 through the casting cylinder 4, realizing continuous concrete transportation.

[0033] Specifically, the support frame 5 includes a base plate 51 and side columns 52 disposed on both sides of the base plate 51. The base plate 51 is mounted on the mounting platform 7, and the two side columns 52 are fixed to the end faces of the base plate 51 respectively. The side columns 52 away from the base plate 51 are bent relative to each other, thereby reducing the distance between the two side columns 52. The sliding support 6 is installed above the base plate 51 and located between the two side columns 52. The sleeve cylinder 4 is fixed between the two side columns 52, and the end faces of the two side columns 52 away from the base plate 51 are fixed to the side wall of the sleeve cylinder 4.

[0034] The casting cylinder 4 includes a cylinder body 41 and a fixing plate 42 fixed to the cylinder body 41. The fixing plate 42 is located above the side column 52, and a hinge plate 43 for connecting the first conveyor belt 1 is provided on the top surface of the fixing plate 42. Two hinge plates 43 are provided, and the two hinge plates 43 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the cylinder body 41, thereby achieving a stable hinge connection between the first conveyor belt 1 and the casting cylinder 4. In addition, a reinforcing rib plate 44 is also provided around the fixing plate 42 and the side wall of the cylinder body 41. The reinforcing rib plate 44 is triangular in shape to improve the support strength of the fixing plate 42 for the first conveyor belt 1.

[0035] Therefore, a connection node is formed at the junction of the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2, which enables smooth transportation of concrete. Specifically, after the concrete is output from the output end of the first conveyor belt 1, it falls downwards into the casting cylinder 4. The casting cylinder 4 constrains the movement path of the concrete, allowing it to fall precisely to the inlet end of the second conveyor belt 2. The second conveyor belt 2 is positioned below the casting cylinder 4, accurately receiving the concrete output from the first conveyor belt 1. It should be noted that the bottom of the first conveyor belt 1 is spaced from the top of the cylinder 41, and the top of the second conveyor belt 2 is spaced from the bottom of the cylinder 41. The spacing is designed to avoid interfering with the rotation of the first and second conveyor belts.

[0036] Since each conveyor belt segment is hinged at the output end and slidably connected at the feed end, each conveyor belt segment of this application can achieve stable connection while also being able to rotate and lift flexibly, so as to meet the concrete transportation supply throughout the entire life cycle of dam pouring.

[0037] Furthermore, the installation platform 7 is geometrically symmetrical about the center of the supporting column 3, and two support frames 5 are symmetrically arranged on the installation platform 7 along the central axis of the supporting column 3 to support the two concrete conveying lines. Since there are multiple tower cranes on the construction site and multiple concrete conveying lines are required, in order to improve the utilization efficiency of the column, two concrete conveying lines are usually supported on one column.

[0038] Additionally, a guardrail 8 is installed on the side of the installation platform 7, positioned between the two concrete conveyor lines. This allows construction workers to move from one concrete conveyor line to another via the installation platform 7. The guardrail 8 enhances construction safety, preventing workers from easily falling.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
