Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tobacco technology, specifically relating to a real-time detection and adjustment device for the tension of a conveyor belt in a tobacco processing workshop. Background Technology
[0002] In the cigarette manufacturing workshop, the conveyor belt is the core equipment of the material conveying system, used to transfer raw materials between different processes. To ensure smooth material transport, the tension of the conveyor belt must be maintained within an appropriate range. However, due to factors such as long-term operation and load changes, the conveyor belt is prone to becoming loose or too tight. These abnormalities can not only lead to unstable material transport and deviation, but may even cause equipment damage or production line shutdowns. Therefore, maintaining stable tension is crucial for normal equipment operation and production efficiency.
[0003] Existing methods for detecting conveyor belt tension mostly rely on manual inspection, with operators judging by visual observation or manual adjustment. This has the following drawbacks: First, manual inspection cannot monitor the tension of the conveyor belt in real time during operation. The low inspection frequency allows loose or overly tight belts to persist undetected, leading to equipment wear or material misalignment. Second, manual inspection requires operators to stop the machine for inspection. Especially in large production lines like silk-making workshops, inspecting long-distance conveyor belts is time-consuming, increasing downtime and maintenance costs. Therefore, manual inspection is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and cannot achieve real-time monitoring and automatic alarms.
[0004] To improve the automation level of the silk refining workshop, it is essential to develop a device that can detect the tension of the conveyor belt in real time and issue an alarm promptly. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this invention provides a conveyor belt tension detection device capable of real-time monitoring and alarm, enabling real-time management of the conveyor belt tension and preventing equipment malfunctions or downtime caused by abnormal conveyor belt conditions.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A real-time detection and adjustment device for conveyor belt tension, comprising: a detection device 2 and a control device 3; the detection device 2 is arranged at the lower part of the conveyor belt 10 of the belt conveyor 1 and contacts the lower surface of the conveyor belt 10.
[0008] Preferably, the belt conveyor 1 includes: a conveyor belt 10, three fixed pulleys and one movable pulley 14; wherein the diameter of the first fixed pulley 11 is 2-4 times that of the second fixed pulley 12, the diameters of the second fixed pulley 12 and the third fixed pulley 13 are similar, and the diameter of the movable pulley 14 is the smallest; the first fixed pulley 11 and the second fixed pulley 12 are fixedly arranged on the left and right sides, the third fixed pulley 13 is fixedly arranged between the first fixed pulley 11 and the second fixed pulley 12, and the lower end of the third fixed pulley 13 is on the same horizontal plane as the lower end of the first fixed pulley 11; the movable pulley 14 is arranged above the third fixed pulley 13; the inner surface of the conveyor belt 10 is in contact with the surfaces of the three fixed pulleys, and the outer surface of the conveyor belt 10 is in contact with the surface of the movable pulley 14; the conveyor belt tension detection device 2 is arranged in the lower part of the conveyor belt 10 between the movable pulley 14 and the second fixed pulley 12 and is in contact with the lower surface of the conveyor belt 10.

[0011] The real-time detection and adjustment device for conveyor belt tension of this utility model provides the following steps for real-time detection and adjustment of conveyor belt tension:
[0012] The conveyor belt tension detection device 2 is arranged at the lower part of the conveyor belt 10 between the movable wheel 14 and the second fixed wheel 12. The pressure sensor 21 is in contact with the lower surface of the conveyor belt 10. The pressure sensor 21 determines the tension of the conveyor belt 10 by detecting the pressure applied to it by the conveyor belt 10 in real time: when the conveyor belt 10 is loose, the pressure applied to the pressure sensor 21 decreases; when the conveyor belt 10 is too tight, the pressure applied to the pressure sensor 21 increases. The pressure sensor 21 can accurately capture these pressure changes and display them on the display 31. When the tension of the conveyor belt 10 exceeds the range, the audible and visual alarm 22 sounds an alarm and is displayed on the display 31 by the control device 3. At the same time, according to the preset program, the controller 30 instructs the movable wheel 14 to move slightly left and right to adjust the tension of the conveyor belt 10, and finally achieve the required tension of the conveyor belt 10.
