Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cleaning device for belt scales, belonging to the field of belt scale cleaning technology. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic belt scales, also known as through belt scales, quantitative feeders, DGP hanging belt scales, and other similar names, are a general term for all belt scales. Generally, a belt scale refers to a standalone weighing device installed on a long conveyor belt frame. It consists only of a weighing frame, sensors, and instruments, without a drive motor or other power unit. It only weighs and accumulates the material passing through the conveyor belt and does not control the material flow rate. Its advantages are low cost, simple installation, and minimal modification to existing equipment. Electronic belt scales are mainly used for conveying bulk solid materials and measuring the material during the conveying process. Commonly weighed materials include raw coal, limestone, clay, iron powder, and clinker. Therefore, electronic belt scales play an irreplaceable role in the weighing field.

[0003] During the use of belt scales, powder can adhere to the conveyor belt when weighing powdery materials, causing contamination when weighing the next type of powdery material and affecting weighing accuracy. Chinese utility model patent CN218035295U discloses a belt scale surface cleaning device. This device uses two C-shaped clamps with fastening screws to fix the device to the top or base of the belt scale. Controlling an electric telescopic rod pushes a connecting column downwards, which in turn moves a cleaning mechanism downwards, allowing long and short brush bristles to contact the conveyor belt. By controlling the belt scale's operation, the conveyor belt surface can be cleaned, reducing manual labor.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned patent has some inconveniences in practical application. On the one hand, some sticky powders will adhere to the surface of the belt and form a relatively hard solid, which is difficult to completely remove with just a brush and requires manual processing. On the other hand, the brush is fixed and it is difficult to push the material on the surface of the belt to the end of the belt scale and then sweep it off.

[0005] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a cleaning device for a belt scale, including a weighing belt scale, and a cleaning mechanism is provided at the upper end of the weighing belt scale. The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning active roller 7 and a cleaning passive roller 8, and the cleaning active roller 7 is driven by a second drive motor 9.

[0026] Cleaning belts are wound around the cleaning active roller 7 and the cleaning passive roller 8. Brush strips 10 are fixed at equal intervals on the outer surface of the cleaning belt. The cleaning active roller 7 and the cleaning passive roller 8 are installed at both ends of the cleaning frame 6. The cleaning frame 6 is connected to the lifting drive device. A connecting rod 14 is vertically provided on the lower side of the cleaning frame 6. A hard scraper 15 is fixedly installed on the connecting rod 14.
