[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyors, specifically to a cyclone floating energy-saving belt conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] Belt conveyors, as a widely used material conveying equipment, play a key role in many industries such as coal, mining, building materials, and chemicals, providing a guarantee for long-distance, continuous, and efficient material conveying.

[0003] However, existing belt conveyor rollers have revealed numerous problems during actual operation, posing significant challenges to normal use and maintenance. Common issues include roller jamming, which prevents normal rotation. Once a roller is jammed, the conveyor belt experiences additional resistance and wear, affecting the continuity of material transport and potentially causing material accumulation and spillage, severely disrupting the production process. Furthermore, conveyor belt misalignment not only leads to material spillage and waste, but also accelerates wear between the conveyor belt edges and the frame, shortens the conveyor belt's lifespan, and may even create safety hazards.

[0004] For long-distance conveyors, the above problems are more likely to occur, thus requiring frequent manual maintenance, which not only increases equipment maintenance costs but also affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cyclone floating energy-saving belt conveyor. This conveyor uses a blower to drive air out of the air holes, thereby lifting the conveyor belt and materials, reducing the frictional resistance and wear rate of the conveyor belt, achieving energy-saving effect, reducing the frequency of manual maintenance, and achieving the goals of reducing equipment maintenance costs and improving production efficiency.

The support platform has a hollow structure, and several air holes are provided on the upper side of the support platform. The air holes are connected to the cavity of the support platform. The conveyor belt is fitted onto the upper side of the support platform and is sleeved on the drive rollers on the left and right sides of the support platform. The blower is located on one side of the support platform, and the air outlet of the blower is connected to the cavity of the support platform.

[0008] In the above technical solution, preferably, the cross-section of the support platform is a downwardly concave arc shape, and the conveyor belt is in contact with the upper side of the support platform.

[0021] Among them, there is a support platform 1, an air hole 11, a cavity 12, a vertical hole 13, an inclined hole 14, an air inlet 15, a conveyor belt 2, anti-slip texture 21, a blower 3, a support column 4, a traveling wheel 41, and a drive roller 5. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0023] See Figures 1-4 This embodiment of a cyclone floating energy-saving belt conveyor includes a support platform 1, a conveyor belt 2, and a blower 3. The support platform 1 has a hollow structure, and a plurality of air holes 11 are provided on the upper side of the support platform 1. The air holes 11 are connected to the cavity 12 of the support platform 1. The conveyor belt 2 is fitted onto the upper side of the support platform 1 and is sleeved on the drive rollers 5 on the left and right sides of the support platform 1. The blower 3 is located on one side of the support platform 1 and the air outlet of the blower 3 is connected to the cavity 12 of the support platform 1.

[0024] In this invention, the material is placed on the conveyor belt 2, and air is simultaneously introduced into the cavity 12 of the support platform 1 by the blower 3. The air is discharged from the air hole 11 and enters between the support platform 1 and the conveyor belt 2, thereby lifting the conveyor belt 2 and the material, reducing the friction between the conveyor belt 2 and the support platform 1. A drive device (such as a motor) is used to drive the drive roller 5 to rotate, thereby moving the conveyor belt 2 to realize the material conveying. Compared with the existing method of supporting the conveyor belt 2 with rollers, the support platform 1 of this invention can reduce the frictional resistance and wear rate of the conveyor belt 2 by outputting air, reduce the energy consumption of the drive device to achieve energy saving, ensure the continuity of material conveying, reduce the frequency of manual maintenance, and achieve the purpose of reducing equipment maintenance costs and improving production efficiency.

[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The lower side of the support platform 1 is provided with an adjustable support column 4. The adjustable length of the support column 4 can adjust the height of the support platform 1 to adapt to different working requirements.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The lower end of the support column 4 is provided with a traveling wheel 41, which can improve the convenience of handling this utility model.

[0027] See Figure 2 An air inlet 15 is provided on the left side of the support platform 1. The air inlet 15 is connected to the cavity 12 of the support platform 1. The air outlet of the blower 3 is fixedly connected to the air inlet 15 by bolts.

[0028] By continuously supplying air into the cavity 12 of the support platform 1 through the blower 3 and the air inlet 15, the continuous operation of this utility model is ensured. The connection between the air outlet of the blower 3 and the air inlet 15 by bolts can improve the airtightness of the connection and reduce the additional power consumption of the blower 3.

[0029] In this invention, when the long support platform 1 is working, the air output from the air holes 11 that are far from the blower 3 may be insufficient. At this time, multiple air inlets 15 can be opened on the front and rear sides of the support platform 1, and multiple blowers 3 can be used to simultaneously send air into the cavity 12, ensuring that the air holes 11 at each position of the support platform 1 can output sufficient power of air, thus ensuring the normal operation of this invention.

[0030] See Figure 2 The cross-section of the support platform 1 is a downwardly concave arc shape, and the conveyor belt 2 is in contact with the upper side of the support platform 1.

[0031] The upper side of the support platform 1 is concave downwards, and the conveyor belt 2 is in close contact with the upper side of the support platform 1. This reduces the probability of materials falling from both sides when placed on the conveyor belt 2, and increases the volume of materials that the conveyor belt 2 can carry per unit length. Furthermore, when the air discharged from the air hole 11 lifts the conveyor belt 2, the conveyor belt 2 and the material can automatically center themselves under their own gravity, reducing the probability of the conveyor belt 2 shifting, thereby reducing material spillage and the wear rate between the conveyor belt 2 and the support platform 1.

[0032] See Figure 3 The air hole 11 includes a vertical hole 13 and an oblique hole 14. The vertical hole 13 is located in the middle of the upper side of the support platform 1. The oblique holes 14 are symmetrically distributed on the front and rear sides of the vertical hole 13. The oblique holes 14 are inclined downward and face the middle bottom of the support platform 1.

[0033] When materials are placed on conveyor belt 2, they are usually concentrated in the middle of conveyor belt 2, resulting in a greater weight in the middle. By setting a vertical hole 13 in the middle of the upper side of the support platform 1, the airflow direction within the vertical hole 13 is opposite to the direction of gravity of conveyor belt 2, thereby maximizing the effect of air lifting conveyor belt 2 and reducing the power of blower 3. The airflow direction within the inclined hole 14 is towards the middle bottom of the support platform 1, causing the air output from the inclined hole 14 to first move towards the middle of conveyor belt 2. Under the action of the air output from the inclined holes 14 on the front and rear sides, the air decelerates and forms a cyclone in the middle of conveyor belt 2 before escaping to the front and rear sides of conveyor belt 2. This effectively prolongs the residence time of air between conveyor belt 2 and support platform 1, improves the efficiency of air lifting conveyor belt 2, thereby reducing the energy consumption of blower 3 and achieving energy saving.

[0034] See Figure 3The inclined hole 14 is deflected in the direction of movement of the conveyor belt 2 (deflection angle 15°-20°). The angle between the air flow direction inside the inclined hole 14 and the direction of movement of the conveyor belt 2 is an acute angle. This allows the air output from the inclined hole 14 to lift the conveyor belt 2 upward while providing a certain amount of power to drive the conveyor belt 2 to move. This reduces the energy consumption of the drive device for the drive roller 5 and achieves energy saving.

[0035] See Figure 4 The upper surface of the conveyor belt 2 is provided with anti-slip texture 21, which can reduce the risk of materials slipping off the conveyor belt 2 and ensure the normal conveying of materials.

[0036] The above description in this specification is merely illustrative of the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not depart from the content of this specification or exceed the scope defined in the claims, all of which shall fall within the protection scope of this invention.
