[0002] Belt conveyors are widely used in metallurgy, mining, power and other industries to transport various materials. However, belt conveyors are prone to dust and material spillage during material transport, causing environmental pollution. With increasingly stringent national environmental protection requirements, steel mills are seeking ways to control fugitive emissions from belt conveyors. Currently, a closed system is used to address this issue, with the upper enclosure structure using 0.8mm thick curved color steel plates to completely enclose the upper idlers of the belt conveyor, with gates opening every 10m. However, the curved plates are prone to bending, and the operation of the idlers cannot be observed, making maintenance and upkeep difficult. This system does not adequately meet production needs and necessitates improvement. Utility Model Content
