Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of belt conveyors, and more particularly to a tensioning device for enclosed belt conveyors. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, enclosed belt conveyors are widely used in coal mill feeding systems, but their high internal negative pressure easily leads to material leakage from both sides of the belt. Even with cleaning chains, some coal dust is still carried into the tail roller and accumulates, ultimately causing belt misalignment. Traditional tensioning devices are located inside the belt conveyor, requiring shutdown, material emptying, and opening of the maintenance door for adjustment, which is complex and time-consuming. Since the kiln system needs continuous operation, coal mill shutdowns directly affect fuel supply, causing production interruptions. Existing technology cannot achieve online adjustment, resulting in frequent coal mill downtime due to malfunctions, severely restricting system stability and production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tensioning device for enclosed belt conveyors to solve the problem that existing technologies cannot achieve online adjustment.
[0004] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a tensioning device for a closed belt conveyor, characterized in that it includes a tensioning screw, a tensioning sleeve, and a locking block. One end of the tensioning screw is inserted into the tensioning component inside the belt conveyor and the belt tension is adjusted by rotation. The other end is threadedly connected to the tensioning sleeve. The tensioning sleeve passes through the belt conveyor frame, with an adjusting head at one end and a limiting boss at the other end that limits the engagement with the frame. The locking block is hinged to the inner end of the tensioning screw in the frame via a pin and locked to the belt conveyor bearing seat.
[0005] Furthermore, the tensioning sleeve has a coaxial first cavity and a second cavity inside. The first cavity is a smooth circular hole for guiding the tensioning screw, and the second cavity is a threaded hole that forms a threaded engagement with the tensioning screw.
[0006] Furthermore, the adjusting head has a hexagonal prism structure, with its outer end extending to the outside of the conveyor frame for wrench tool operation.
[0007] Furthermore, the inner end of the tensioning screw frame is provided with a mounting pin hole one, and the corresponding position of the locking block is provided with a mounting pin hole two, with the pin shaft passing through the two holes to form a hinge structure.
[0008] Furthermore, the limiting boss is an annular flange structure with a diameter larger than the mounting hole of the belt conveyor frame, dividing the tensioning sleeve into inner and outer sides of the frame.
[0009] Furthermore, the locking block and the bearing seat are locked together by a convex-concave snap-fit structure, and the working surface of the locking block and the contact surface of the bearing seat are provided with anti-slip teeth.
[0010] Furthermore, the adjusting head can also be square or other shapes that can be used with a wrench tool.
[0011] The tensioning device for a closed belt conveyor described in this utility model has the following advantages:
[0012] The tensioning device is easy to adjust and highly stable, greatly facilitating the adjustment of the belt by on-site personnel, reducing the labor intensity of workers, and reducing the frequency of accidents caused by the inability of the coal feeder to adjust its deviation in time.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a tensioning device for a closed belt conveyor includes a tensioning screw 1, a tensioning sleeve 2, and a locking block 3. One end of the tensioning screw 1 is inserted into the tensioning components inside the belt conveyor, and the tension of the belt conveyor is adjusted by rotating the tensioning screw 1. The tensioning screw 1 is inserted into the tensioning sleeve 2 and connected to the belt conveyor frame through the tensioning sleeve 2. One end of the tensioning screw 1 and the tensioning sleeve 2 extends out of the belt conveyor frame, thereby achieving online adjustment. The locking block 3 is located at the end of the tensioning screw 1 that extends into the belt conveyor frame and is connected to the tensioning screw 1 through a pin. The belt conveyor has bearing seats and supports inside, and the entire tensioning device is locked together by the locking block 3 and the bearing seats.
[0022] The tensioning sleeve 2 includes a first cavity 22 and a second cavity 23. An adjusting head 21 is provided at one end of the tensioning sleeve 2. The adjusting head 21 has a hexagonal prism structure, and a limiting boss 24 is also provided on the outer side of the tensioning sleeve 2. The first cavity 22 is a circular hole, and the second cavity 23 is a threaded hole. The thread in the second cavity 23 engages with the tensioning screw 1. The limiting boss 24 engages with the conveyor frame, separating the inner and outer sides of the tensioning sleeve 2 on the conveyor frame. One side of the adjusting head 21 extends outside the conveyor frame, and online adjustment is achieved by rotating the adjusting head 21 with a wrench.
[0023] The tensioning screw 1 has a mounting pin hole 11 at one end and a mounting pin hole 31 on the locking block 3. The locking block 3 is fixed by inserting the pin into the mounting pin hole 11 and the mounting pin hole 31.
