TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a belt conveyor technical field especially relates to a short distance belt conveyor swing tension device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The normal operation of the belt conveyor must be ensured that the conveyor belt has a certain tension, and the device that provides tension is the tension device. The tension device is to adjust the tension of the conveyor belt, and the device that generates the required friction driving tension. So-called "tension", has two meanings of absorbing the elongation of the conveyor belt and providing tension for the conveyor belt.

[0003] The function of the belt conveyor tension device is as follows: (1) the conveyor belt has enough tension to ensure that the driving force between the conveyor belt and the transmission drum is sufficient to prevent slipping; (2) to ensure that the tension of each point of the conveyor belt is not lower than a given value to prevent the conveyor belt from being too loose between the rollers to cause material scattering and increase the running resistance; (3) to compensate for the elastic and plastic deformation of the conveyor belt; (4) to provide the necessary travel for the conveyor belt rejoint.

[0004] Under normal circumstances, the belt conveyor belt tension device is divided into three types according to the arrangement: vertical tension device, vehicle tension device and spiral tension device. Among the three tension devices, the spiral tension device is a fixed tension, the manual adjustment range and the tension are limited, and it is suitable for short distance belt conveyor with a length of 30m or less and belt conveyor set on mobile equipment. For the belt conveyor that conveys light materials and has a very small conveying capacity, the machine length can be appropriately increased.

[0005] At present, the tension device of the short distance belt conveyor mostly adopts the spiral tension device, but the existing short distance belt conveyor spiral tension device has the following problems:

[0006] 1) Whether the spiral tension device is arranged at the tail or the head of the conveyor, the tail wheel or the head wheel position will change with the change of the tension travel. Especially for reversible belt conveyor, the head and tail need to be unloaded, and the displacement of the head wheel or tail wheel will change the material falling point of the downstream belt conveyor, resulting in the deviation of the material on the downstream belt conveyor, and ultimately leading to the deviation of the downstream belt conveyor.

[0007] 2) The spiral tensioning has the characteristics of simple structure and compact arrangement. However, the tension and travel range of the spiral tensioning manual adjustment are small, and the adjustment of the tensioning force size is only operated by experience and observation of the conveyor belt state, which cannot automatically maintain the constant pre-tension and needs to be adjusted manually.
