Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of belt scale, and relates to a self-cleaning belt scale. BACKGROUND

[0002] The belt scale is a kind of continuous dynamic weighing equipment widely used in mining, metallurgy, chemical industry and other industries, and is used for on-line metering of bulk materials. Its working principle is to measure the mass of materials passing through a specific area per unit time through the weighing sensor installed on the conveyor frame, and to calculate the cumulative weight in combination with the running speed of the belt. The belt scale has the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation and strong adaptability, and can realize real-time monitoring and management of the material conveying process, improve production efficiency and ensure measurement accuracy.

[0003] In order to further increase the load capacity of the conveying belt and avoid the sliding or spilling of materials during transportation, some belt scales adopt innovative design schemes. One method is to improve the traditional flat conveying belt into a V-shaped structure. This design forms a concave V-shaped cross section in the middle of the conveying belt, and uses the higher edges on both sides to limit the lateral displacement of materials, thereby effectively improving the stability and carrying capacity of materials during transportation. In addition, another common design scheme is to install wave-shaped skirts on both sides of the conveying belt. These skirts not only enhance the containment of materials and prevent materials from spilling from the belt edge, but also improve the overall conveying efficiency.

[0004] Although these two design schemes improve the stability and efficiency of material conveying to some extent, they also introduce some new problems. First of all, whether it is a V-shaped structure or the installation of wave-shaped skirts, it will cause the bending stress of the belt at the drum to increase significantly, especially in the transition section area, which is easy to cause local fatigue damage, thereby accelerating the aging and wear of the belt and shortening its service life. Secondly, these structural forms also increase the possibility of material adhering to the surface of the belt, especially at the connection part of the skirt and the belt body or the V-shaped bending part, and the residual materials are difficult to fall off naturally, which not only affects the accuracy of subsequent measurement, but also increases the cleaning and maintenance burden of the equipment and increases the operating cost.
