Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of belt conveyor technology, and in particular to a transition bracket for belt conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] A belt conveyor is a mechanical device for continuously transporting materials, consisting of a drive unit, conveyor belt, idlers, drums, and tensioning device. Its working principle is that the drive drums rotate the circular conveyor belt, and the material is placed on the belt through the feed end and moved with the belt to the discharge end for unloading. Belt conveyors are characterized by large conveying capacity, long distance, simple structure, and convenient maintenance.

[0003] In practical applications, to effectively collect materials, a material collection basket is often installed at the discharge end of the belt conveyor. The basket itself has a certain height, and a certain distance needs to be maintained between the discharge end of the belt conveyor and the ground to ensure the basket opening is effectively aligned. This results in the material falling into the basket and impacting the bottom of the basket under gravity. Therefore, this process easily damages the material, especially heavy materials such as large metal castings, fertilizer bags, and cement bags. When falling into the basket, metal castings may develop scratches, and fertilizer bags and cement bags may crack. Utility Model Content

[0018] 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.

[0019] A transition support for a belt conveyor includes: a transition plate 1 and a buffer spring 2. The transition plate 1 is disposed at the discharge end of the belt conveyor. An assembly plate 11 is disposed on the transition plate 1. One end of the assembly plate 11 is rotatably connected to the outer casing of the belt conveyor. The other end of the assembly plate 11 is fixedly connected to the transition plate 1. One end of the buffer spring 2 is connected to the assembly plate 11. The other end of the buffer spring 2 is connected to a support leg of the belt conveyor.

[0020] In practical applications, one end of the transition plate 1 corresponds to the discharge end of the belt conveyor, and the other end corresponds to the material basket. When material is discharged from the belt conveyor, it falls onto the transition plate 1. At this time, the material, under the influence of gravity, presses down on the transition plate 1, causing it to swing relative to the belt conveyor around the assembly plate 11. During this swinging motion, the transition plate 1 compresses the buffer spring 2, causing it to accumulate elastic force. This accumulated elastic force acts in the opposite direction on the transition plate 1, providing some support for the material. Subsequently, the material slides along the transition plate 1 into the material basket under the influence of gravity. Thus, the transition plate 1 buffers the falling material, preventing it from directly impacting the material basket and mitigating or avoiding scratches or cracks caused by impacts.

[0021] Secondly, it also includes adjustment structures 3. There are two adjustment structures 3. The adjustment structures 3 are respectively located on both sides of the transition plate 1. Each adjustment structure 3 includes an adjusting plate 31 and positioning posts 32. The adjusting plate 31 is fixedly connected to the support legs of the belt conveyor. A sliding groove 311 is provided on the adjusting plate 31. The sliding groove 311 is arc-shaped. The positioning posts 32 are respectively located at both ends of the buffer spring 2. The positioning posts 32 extend into the buffer spring 2. One positioning post 32 is rotatably connected to the sliding groove 311. The other positioning post 32 is rotatably connected to the assembly plate 11.

[0022] Therefore, in practical applications, by sliding the corresponding positioning pin 32 within the slide groove 311, the position of the buffer spring 2 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the relative angle between the transition plate 1 and the belt conveyor. This allows for adjustment of the support effect of the transition plate 1 on the material during the aforementioned process, adapting to different types of materials. Specifically, when the transition plate 1 tends to be parallel to the belt conveyor, its support effect on the material becomes stronger. When the transition plate 1 tends to be perpendicular to the belt conveyor, its support effect on the material becomes weaker. Simultaneously, when adjusting the position of the buffer spring 2, the positioning pin 32 can rotate within a certain range. This effectively prevents the buffer spring 2 from bending during adjustment, thus avoiding any impact on the aforementioned buffering effect.

[0023] On the other hand, the adjustment structure 3 also includes a positioning structure 33. The positioning structure 33 extends into the slide groove 311. The positioning structure 33 is able to slide along the slide groove 311. The positioning structure 33 clamps the adjustment plate 31. One of the positioning posts 32 is rotatably sleeved on the positioning structure 33.

[0024] Specifically, the positioning structure 33 includes a sliding column 331, a clamping plate 332, an assembly column 333, a pressing column 334, a clamping spring 335, and a fastening nut 336. The sliding column 331 extends into the slide groove 311. The sliding column 331 is in contact with the inner wall of the slide groove 311. The clamping plates 332 are respectively disposed at both ends of the sliding column 331 to fit against both sides of the adjusting plate 31. The assembly column 333 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding column 331. The corresponding positioning column 32 is rotatably sleeved on the assembly column 333. The pressing column 334 slidably passes through the sliding column 331 and the assembly column 333. One end of the pressing column 334 is fixedly connected to one of the clamping plates 332. The other clamping plate 332 is fixedly connected to the assembly column 333. The clamping spring 335 is disposed inside the sliding column 331. The clamping spring 335 is connected to the clamping plate 332. The end of the pressing post 334 away from the clamping plate 332 protrudes from the assembly post 333. The end of the pressing post 334 away from the clamping plate 332 is provided with a thread corresponding to the fastening nut 336, so as to screw it into the fastening nut 336. When the fastening nut 336 is screwed into the pressing post 334, the fastening nut 336 abuts against the assembly post 333.

[0025] When the position of the buffer spring 2 needs to be adjusted, the fastening nut 336 is removed. After the fastening nut 336 is completely removed, the two clamping plates 332 remain close to each other under the force of the clamping spring 335, thus clamping the adjusting plate 31. Therefore, the buffer spring 2 can maintain its current position, effectively preventing the transition plate 1 from suddenly falling under gravity and causing injury to the operator the instant the fastening nut 336 is removed. At this time, press the pressing column 334, causing it to slide within the sliding column 331 and the assembly column 333. This pushes the corresponding clamping plate 332 away from the other clamping plate 332, causing the clamping plate 332 to no longer clamp the adjusting plate 31. This allows the assembly column 333 to be pushed, causing the sliding column 331 to slide within the slide groove 311, thereby adjusting the position of the buffer spring 2. After adjustment, the pressing column 334 can be released, allowing the clamping plate 332 to clamp the adjusting plate 31 again. In this way, the position of the buffer spring 2 is pre-positioned. At this point, the fastening nut 336 can be reassembled. Tighten the fastening nut 336 so that it abuts against the mounting post 333, thereby maximizing the reduction of the gap between the clamping plates 332 by pressing the post 334, thus ensuring that the clamping plates 332 fully fit against the adjusting plate 31 to clamp the adjusting plate 31. This prevents the sliding post 331 from undergoing uncontrollable displacement under the impact of materials.

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.
