Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of roller screen technology, and in particular relates to an adjustable sprocket structure for roller screens. Background Technology

[0002] A roller screen is a device used for material screening, primarily separating materials by particle size through a rotating screen cylinder. Its working principle is that after the material enters the screen body, the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the screen shaft propels the material forward, and the intersecting screen gaps between the two screen plates separate materials of different particle sizes. It is particularly suitable for processing large particles, wet or sticky materials, and is widely used in mining, coal, and building materials industries. Roller screens have a simple structure, high efficiency, and can effectively reduce overall machine power consumption and minimize clogging problems.

[0003] Because the roller screen in the relevant technology has a one-to-many chain drive structure, there are problems such as the sprockets not being adjustable and the difficulty in adjusting the screen gap. If the parallelism of the chain drive chains between the screen gap adjustment shafts cannot be guaranteed, chain jamming and chain breakage will occur during later operation, which will seriously affect the life of the chain and affect the normal use of the entire equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the related technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] An adjustable sprocket structure for a roller screen includes an adjustable tensioning mechanism, a sprocket adjustment mechanism, a chain, a fixed sprocket, an adjustable sprocket, and two optical shafts;

[0007] Two optical axes are arranged side by side. The optical axes are used to install screen plates. One end of the optical axis is used to install the fixed sprocket. The other end of the optical axis is connected to the adjustable sprocket through the sprocket adjustment mechanism. The fixed sprocket and the adjustable sprocket are connected by the chain.

[0008] The sprocket adjustment mechanism includes a conical sleeve structure and a locking mechanism. The outer wall of the conical sleeve structure is conical. The conical sleeve structure is connected and fixed to the sprocket structure through the locking mechanism. The conical sleeve structure is connected to the optical axis.

[0009] Furthermore, the tapered sleeve structure is provided with a slot, and the locking mechanism includes multiple threaded holes and multiple expansion bolts. The multiple threaded holes are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the tapered sleeve, and each threaded hole is provided with a corresponding expansion bolt.

[0010] Furthermore, the sprocket adjustment mechanism also includes an adjustment sleeve, the conical sleeve structure is connected to the optical axis through the adjustment sleeve, the inner wall of the conical sleeve structure is keyed to the adjustment sleeve, and the adjustment sleeve is threadedly engaged with the optical axis.

[0011] Furthermore, the angle between the outer wall of the conical sleeve structure and the horizontal line is α, where α is 3-6°.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a lubrication mechanism, which includes a brush and an oil reservoir. The oil outlet of the oil reservoir is connected to an oil delivery pipe via a solenoid valve. The oil delivery pipe is connected to the brush, which can evenly apply lubricating oil to the surface of the chain.

[0013] Furthermore, the adjustable tensioning mechanism includes a support frame, a push rod, a push plate, a support frame, a tensioning block, a compression spring, and two lifting mechanisms;

[0014] The support frame is located on the front end face of the support frame. The middle part of the support frame is hollow. The top of the push rod is connected to the tensioning block, which is used to tension the chain.

[0015] The push plate and the compression spring are both disposed within the support frame. The push plate is disposed on the push rod. One end of the compression spring abuts against the push plate, and the other end of the compression spring abuts against the bottom of the support frame.

[0016] Two lifting mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the support frame, and the lifting mechanisms are used to adjust the height of the support frame.

[0017] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes an adjusting bolt and a locking nut. The adjusting bolt is connected and fixed to the drive beam of the screen shaft housing through the locking nut. The support frame has a protrusion on its side, and the top of the adjusting bolt is directly opposite the protrusion.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the adjustable sprocket structure for roller screens described in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. Traditional roller screens typically employ a one-to-many chain drive structure with non-adjustable sprockets, making screen gap adjustment difficult and hindering precise control of screening efficiency. The sprocket adjustment mechanism, by introducing a conical sleeve structure and locking mechanism, enables sprocket position adjustment, thereby precisely adjusting chain tension and screen gap size to ensure the screen gap is always in optimal working condition and improve screening accuracy. In traditional chain drives, the inability to adjust the sprockets easily leads to chain misalignment, causing chain jamming and breakage during operation, severely impacting equipment operation. The sprocket adjustment mechanism, through conical sleeve adjustment and the threaded engagement of the adjusting sleeve with the optical shaft, precisely adjusts the sprocket position, ensuring the chain remains parallel during operation, reducing chain jamming and breakage, and enhancing equipment stability and reliability.

[0020] 2. The lubrication mechanism continuously lubricates key components such as chains, preventing jamming or excessive wear caused by insufficient lubrication. This ensures long-term efficient equipment operation, reduces downtime due to equipment failure or maintenance, and improves production efficiency. The automatic lubrication function of the lubrication mechanism reduces the frequency and labor costs of manual lubrication. Through the cooperation of the oil tank, solenoid valve, and brushes, it ensures that lubricating oil is evenly applied to the surface of components such as chains, reducing the complexity of manual operation and the possibility of errors, thus lowering maintenance and labor costs.

[0021] 3. The sprocket adjustment mechanism employs adjusting bolts, locking nuts, and a lifting mechanism, making adjustments during operation simpler and faster. Adjustments to chain tension and sprocket position are particularly convenient, reducing the complex operations required in traditional equipment and lowering the difficulty of manual intervention. Simultaneously, the lubrication system design reduces the need for manual lubrication, enhancing the equipment's automation level. Attached Figure Description

The sprocket adjustment mechanism, through conical sleeve adjustment and the threaded engagement of the adjusting sleeve with the optical shaft 520, precisely adjusts the sprocket position, ensuring the chain 300 remains parallel during operation, reducing chain jamming and breakage, and enhancing equipment stability and reliability.

This lubrication mechanism continuously provides lubrication to key components such as the chain 300, preventing parts from jamming or excessive wear due to lack of lubrication. It ensures long-term efficient operation of the equipment, reduces downtime due to equipment failure or maintenance, and improves production efficiency. The automatic lubrication function of the lubrication mechanism reduces the frequency and labor costs of manual lubrication. Through the cooperation of the oil reservoir 240, solenoid valve 230, and brush 210, lubricating oil is evenly applied to the surface of components such as the chain 300, reducing the complexity of manual operation and the possibility of errors, thus lowering maintenance and labor costs.
