Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coal conveying technology, specifically to a cleaner for belt conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, coal is typically transported using coal mine belt conveyors (hereinafter referred to as conveyors). Specifically, the conveyor belt of the conveyor conveys coal. After the conveyor belt has been transporting coal for a long time, residues such as coal slag will adhere to its surface.

[0003] In the prior art, invention patent application CN119330029A discloses "A belt conveyor tail cleaner," which mainly includes the following structures: a feeding mechanism, a secondary cleaning mechanism, and a tertiary cleaning mechanism. The tertiary cleaning mechanism includes an air collecting box, an impeller disposed inside the air collecting box, an air outlet pipe disposed at the top of the air collecting box, a diverter pipe disposed at the top of the air outlet pipe, and a nozzle disposed on the outer surface of the diverter pipe. The feeding mechanism is used to transport materials, the secondary cleaning mechanism is used to clean the bottom surface of the conveyor belt, and the tertiary cleaning mechanism is used to blow away material particles that are difficult to remove by the secondary cleaning mechanism.

[0004] However, during the process of blowing away material particles, the three-stage cleaning mechanism will cause material dust to fill the surrounding air, which means that while cleaning the material particles on the surface of the conveyor belt, it will also bring new environmental pollution problems.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a belt conveyor cleaner that can not only clean the residue such as coal slag particles on the surface of the conveyor belt, but also avoid the environmental pollution caused by coal slag dust during the cleaning process. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cleaner for belt conveyors. Firstly, the cleaning mechanism can clean coal slag and other residues adhering to the upper and lower surfaces of the conveyor belt. Secondly, the cleaning mechanism can spray water mist into the surrounding air while the cleaning mechanism is removing coal slag, thereby reducing dust generated by the coal slag particles during cleaning and preventing environmental pollution caused by coal slag dust during the cleaning process.

[0007] This utility model provides a cleaner for belt conveyors, characterized in that it includes:

[0008] A cleaning mechanism for cleaning coal slag particles on the surface of the conveyor belt is provided; a spraying mechanism for reducing coal slag dust in the air is provided on one side of the cleaning mechanism; and a support mechanism for fixing the cleaning mechanism and the spraying mechanism are provided. The cleaning mechanism and the spraying mechanism are both fixedly connected to the support mechanism, and the support mechanism is fixedly connected to the vibrating beam.

[0009] The support mechanism includes a support column.

[0010] The cleaning mechanism includes a first brush head vibration fixedly connected to the support column vibration and disposed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt vibration, and a second brush head vibration fixedly connected to the support column vibration and disposed on the lower surface of the conveyor belt vibration.

[0011] The spraying mechanism includes a first spraying assembly fixedly connected to the support column on one side of the first brush head vibration, and a second spraying assembly fixedly connected to the support column on one side of the second brush head vibration.

[0012] The first spray assembly includes a first water pipe vibrator, a plurality of first nozzle vibrators spaced apart on the first water pipe vibrator, the first nozzle vibrators being 360° automatically rotating nozzles, and a first valve disposed at one end of the first water pipe vibrator for controlling the flow of water.

[0013] The second spray assembly includes a second water pipe vibrator, a plurality of second nozzle vibrators spaced apart on the second water pipe vibrator, the second nozzle vibrators being 360° automatically rotating nozzles, and a second valve disposed at one end of the second water pipe vibrator for controlling the flow of water.

[0014] The aforementioned cleaner for a belt conveyor is characterized in that it further includes a spring for shock absorption disposed in the support column.

[0015] The aforementioned belt conveyor cleaner is characterized in that it further includes a water storage tank for collecting water flow, located below the spray mechanism.

[0016] The beneficial effects are analyzed and reasoned as follows:

[0017] In existing technologies, the three-stage cleaning mechanism causes dust to fill the surrounding air during the process of blowing away material particles. This means that while cleaning the material particles on the conveyor belt surface, it also brings new environmental pollution problems.

[0018] In the technical solution of this utility model, firstly, the first and second brush heads of the cleaning mechanism can clean the coal slag particles on the upper and lower surfaces of the conveyor belt. Secondly, the first nozzle of the spraying mechanism can settle the coal slag dust in the air around the first brush head, and the second nozzle can settle the coal slag dust in the air around the second brush head.

[0019] It is precisely because a first spray component is installed on one side of the first brush head and a second spray component is installed on one side of the second brush head that the coal dust generated during the brush head cleaning of coal slag particles is settled, thus avoiding environmental pollution problems caused by coal dust.

[0020] This avoids the environmental pollution that occurs when the three-stage cleaning mechanism blows away material particles (e.g., coal slag particles), causing dust (e.g., coal slag dust) to fill the surrounding air.

[0021] Therefore, by adopting the technical solution of this utility model, not only can the residues such as coal slag particles on the surface of the conveyor belt be cleaned, but the environmental pollution caused by coal slag dust during the cleaning process can also be avoided, which greatly improves the efficiency of coal slag removal from the conveyor belt.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0027] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this utility model can be combined with each other. The present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0028] In existing technologies, the three-stage cleaning mechanism causes particulate dust to fill the surrounding air during the process of blowing away material particles. This means that while cleaning the material particles on the conveyor belt surface, it also brings new environmental pollution problems.

[0029] Based on this, the present invention provides a cleaner for belt conveyors. Firstly, the cleaning mechanism can clean up coal slag and other residues adhering to the upper and lower surfaces of the conveyor belt. Secondly, the cleaning mechanism can spray water mist into the surrounding air while the cleaning mechanism removes coal slag, thereby reducing dust generated by the coal slag particles during cleaning and preventing environmental pollution caused by coal slag dust during the cleaning process.

[0030] Figure 1 A front view of a belt conveyor cleaner provided by this utility model.

[0031] See Figure 1The present invention provides a belt conveyor cleaner, comprising: a cleaning mechanism disposed on the surface of the conveyor belt 9 for cleaning coal slag particles on the surface of the conveyor belt 9; a spraying mechanism disposed on one side of the cleaning mechanism for reducing coal slag dust in the air; and a support mechanism for fixing the cleaning mechanism and the spraying mechanism. The cleaning mechanism and the spraying mechanism are both fixedly connected to the support mechanism, and the support mechanism is fixedly connected to the balance beam 10.

[0032] The support structure includes support column 1;

[0033] The cleaning mechanism includes a first brush head 2 fixedly connected to the support column 1 on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 9, and a second brush head 3 fixedly connected to the support column 1 on the lower surface of the conveyor belt 9.

[0034] The spraying mechanism includes a first spraying assembly fixedly connected to the support column 1 on one side of the first brush head 2, and a second spraying assembly fixedly connected to the support column 1 on one side of the second brush head 3;

[0035] The first spray assembly includes a first water pipe 4, a plurality of first nozzles 5 spaced apart on the first water pipe 4, and a first valve disposed at one end of the first water pipe 4 for controlling the flow of water.

[0036] The second spray assembly includes a second water pipe 6, a plurality of second nozzles 7 spaced apart on the second water pipe 6, and a second valve located at one end of the second water pipe 6 for controlling the flow of water.

[0037] The conveyor belt 9 can roll and transport coal blocks. During long-term transport, some coal slag will adhere to the upper and lower surfaces of the conveyor belt 9, affecting subsequent coal transport operations.

[0038] Therefore, a cleaner can be used to clean the conveyor belt 9.

[0039] It should be noted that the installation of the cleaner requires the assistance of the crossbeam 10 in the coal mine belt conveyor, making full use of the limited space in the underground coal mine and avoiding the need to install additional auxiliary components for the cleaner installation.

[0040] The first brush head 2 can remove coal slag particles from the upper surface of the conveyor belt 9 during the horizontal rolling process, and the second brush head 3 can remove coal slag particles from the lower surface of the conveyor belt 9 during the horizontal rolling process.

[0041] The first nozzle 5 can spray water mist into the surrounding air under the control of the first valve to allow coal dust in the air around the first brush head 2 to settle.

[0042] The second nozzle 7 can spray water mist into the surrounding air under the control of the second valve to dissipate coal dust in the air around the second brush head 3.

[0043] In practice, firstly, both the first brush head 2 and the second brush head 3 can be fixedly connected to the support column 1. Secondly, a first spray assembly can be installed on one side of the first brush head 2, and a second spray assembly can be installed on the same side of the second brush head 3. Thirdly, while the belt conveyor controls the conveyor belt 9 to roll horizontally, the cleaning mechanism controls the first brush head 2 and the second brush head 3 to clean the coal slag particles in a direction perpendicular to the rolling of the conveyor belt 9, so that the coal slag particles attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the conveyor belt 9 are cleaned. The spraying mechanism can control multiple first nozzles 5 and multiple second nozzles 7 to spray water mist into the surrounding environment to achieve the purpose of dust suppression.

[0044] The beneficial effects are analyzed and reasoned as follows:

[0045] In existing technologies, the three-stage cleaning mechanism causes particulate dust to fill the surrounding air during the process of blowing away material particles. This means that while cleaning the material particles on the conveyor belt surface, it also brings new environmental pollution problems.

[0046] In the technical solution of this utility model, firstly, the first brush head 2 and the second brush head 3 of the cleaning mechanism can clean the coal slag particles on the upper and lower surfaces of the conveyor belt 9. Secondly, the first nozzle 5 of the spraying mechanism can settle the coal slag dust in the air around the first brush head 2, and the second nozzle 7 can settle the coal slag dust in the air around the second brush head 3.

[0047] It is precisely because a first spray component is installed on one side of the first brush head 2 and a second spray component is installed on one side of the second brush head 3 that the coal dust generated during the brush head cleaning of coal slag particles is settled, thus avoiding environmental pollution problems caused by coal dust.

[0048] This avoids the environmental pollution that occurs when the three-stage cleaning mechanism blows away material particles (e.g., coal slag particles), causing dust (e.g., coal slag dust) to fill the surrounding air.

[0049] Therefore, by adopting the technical solution of this utility model, not only can the residues such as coal slag particles on the surface of the conveyor belt be cleaned, but the environmental pollution caused by coal slag dust during the cleaning process can also be avoided, which greatly improves the efficiency of coal slag removal from the conveyor belt.

[0050] The embodiments described above introduce a cleaner for a belt conveyor. In another embodiment of this invention, a component is introduced to reduce vibration interference to the support column 1 caused by the operation of the cleaning mechanism and the spraying mechanism.

[0051] For example, it also includes a spring 8 for shock absorption installed in the support column.

[0052] In practice, when the sweeping mechanism and the spraying mechanism are working, they will transmit vibrations to the support column 1. Since the support column 1 is equipped with a shock-absorbing spring, the vibration transmitted to the beam 10 which is fixedly connected to the support column 1 is greatly reduced, thus ensuring the stability of the beam 10.

[0053] Understandably, the balance beam 10 can stabilize and support the conveyor belt 9, preventing it from deviating from its intended direction of movement.

[0054] In the embodiments described above, components were introduced to reduce vibration interference to the support column 1 caused by the operation of the sweeping and spraying mechanisms. In another embodiment of this invention, components for collecting water mist sprayed by the spraying mechanism were introduced.

[0055] For example, it also includes a water storage tank located below the spray mechanism for collecting water flow.

[0056] In practice, the reservoir can receive water that has undergone dust suppression treatment, thus avoiding environmental pollution caused by the uncontrolled flow of water after dust suppression treatment.

[0057] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the present utility model. Any simple modifications, alterations, or equivalent structural changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
