[0021] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0022] according to Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a protective assembly for a parallel lower idler roller, including: a protective plate 1, a protective plate 2, a support plate 3, a bottom plate 4, an insert plate 5, an inclined plate 6, and an insert rod 7.

[0023] Two support plates 3 are positioned opposite each other at both ends of the base plate 4. Protective plates 1 and 2 are respectively positioned on both sides of the support plates 3. A plug plate 5 is connected to the protective plate 1 on one side and has a plug block 51 on the other side. A ramp plate 6 is connected to the protective plate 2 on one side and has a slot 61 on the other side. The plug block 51 extends into the slot 61. The plug block 51 has a socket 511. The ramp plate 6 has a fixing opening 62 that matches the socket 511. The support plate 3 has a positioning opening 31. A plug rod 7 passes through the positioning opening 31 and the socket 511. The plug rod 7 extends into the fixing opening 62.

[0024] When setting up the parallel lower idler, it is positioned between two support plates 3, with a portion of the parallel lower idler above the support plates 3 to support the conveyor belt. The parallel lower idler can rotate relative to the support plates 3. There is a certain distance between the bottom plate 4 and the parallel lower idler for placing the insert plate 5 and the inclined plate 6. After the parallel lower idler is set up, its sides are shielded by the protective plate 1, the protective plate 2, and the two support plates 3, and its lower part is shielded by the bottom plate 4. The upper part is used to support the conveyor belt. This design prevents external substances from contacting the parallel lower idler in certain conveying environments, reducing wear and impact and extending the service life of the parallel lower idler. Furthermore, the protective plate 1 and the protective plate 2 of this utility model are connected together by the insert plate 5 and the inclined plate 6. When fixing, the insert block 51 of the insert plate 5 is inserted into the slot 61 of the inclined plate 6, so that the insert 511 is aligned with the fixing port 62 and also with the positioning port 31 of the support plate 3. Then, the insert rod 7 passes through the positioning port 31 and the insert 511 and extends into the fixing port 62, so that this utility model is fixed. When disassembly is required, the insert rod 7 is pulled out and the insert plate 5 and the inclined plate 6 are separated, which makes it more convenient to install and disassemble this utility model.

[0025] The protective plate 2 includes: a support rod 21 and bristles 22. The support rod 21 is located on the side of the protective plate 2 away from the base plate 4. The support rod 21 is located on the side of the protective plate 2 closer to the protective plate 1. The bristles 22 are located on the side of the support rod 21 closer to the protective plate 1. An inclined plate 6 is located on the side of the bristles 22 closer to the base plate 4. The inclined plate 6 slopes downwards from the side closer to the protective plate 1 to the other side. The protective plate 2 also includes: a discharge port 23 and a baffle 24. The discharge port 23 is located on the side of the protective plate 2 closer to the inclined plate 6. The baffle 24 is located on the side of the discharge port 23 away from the inclined plate 6. The baffle 24 is movable relative to the discharge port 23. The protective plate 2 also includes: a support block 25. The support block 25 is located below the discharge port 23. The support block 25 has a support groove for supporting the baffle 24 on the side closer to the discharge port 23. The support block 25 is larger than the discharge port 23 so as to completely cover the discharge port 23. The protective plate 2 also includes: an abutment block 26. An abutment block 26 is positioned above the support block 25. The abutment block 26 has a sliding groove 261. A baffle 24 passes through the sliding groove 261. The baffle 24 is movable relative to the sliding groove 261. The abutment block 26 also includes an abutment spring 262 and an abutment plate 263. The abutment spring 262 is disposed within the abutment block 26. The abutment plate 263 is connected to the abutment spring 262 on the side near the protective plate 1. The abutment plate 263 is movable relative to the sliding groove 261.

[0026] When the parallel lower idler supports the conveyor belt, it rubs against the belt. Some substances may adhere to the conveyor belt during transport and subsequently adhere to the parallel lower idler. This invention provides a support rod 21 on one side of the protective plate 2, with bristles 22 on the support rod 21. The bristles 22 contact the parallel lower idler, so that when the parallel lower idler rotates, the bristles 22 rub against it, allowing impurities on the parallel lower idler to be brushed off, ensuring its normal operation. When setting the bristles 22, they should be positioned on the side where the parallel lower idler rotates upwards, so that impurities are removed as close to the bristles 22 as possible. This avoids the situation where the bristles 22 exert an upward force on the impurities, causing them to be bounced away, if the bristles 22 are positioned on the other side. When impurities are brushed off by the bristles 22, they fall onto the inclined plate 6, move towards the impurity discharge port 23, and are blocked by the baffle 24 to prevent the impurities from falling directly to the ground and being difficult to remove. When it is necessary to discharge impurities, the baffle 24 can be slid to move away from the support block 25, so that the impurities can be discharged. The contact block 26 has a groove 261 to limit the position of the baffle 24 and prevent the position of the baffle 24 from shifting when it slides, which would cause trouble in resetting. The groove 261 is also provided with a contact spring 262 and a contact plate 263, so that when the baffle 24 blocks the impurity discharge port 23, it is abutted by the contact plate 263, so that the baffle 24 and the impurity discharge port 23 are more tightly attached, preventing impurities from leaking out of the impurity discharge port 23.

[0027] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0028] After the parallel lower idler roller is set up, its sides are shielded by protective plate 1, protective plate 2, and two support plates 3, its lower part is shielded by bottom plate 4, and its upper part supports the conveyor belt. This design prevents external substances from contacting the parallel lower idler roller in certain conveying environments, reducing wear and impact and extending its service life. When the parallel lower idler roller rotates, the bristles 22 rub against it, brushing off impurities. These impurities fall onto the inclined plate 6, move towards the discharge port 23, and are blocked by the baffle 24. When impurities need to be discharged, the baffle 24 can be slid away from the support block 25, allowing the impurities to be discharged.

[0029] In summary, this utility model, by setting shielding structures in multiple directions on the parallel lower idler roller, makes the parallel lower idler roller less susceptible to the influence of external substances, thus extending its service life.

[0030] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
