Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bulk material handling technology and relates to a novel steel conveyor belt. Background Technology

[0002] In the steel industry, scrap steel plays a crucial role as a recyclable resource. It is not only an important raw material for steel production but also a key factor in achieving the "dual carbon" target (carbon reduction and emission reduction). Utilizing scrap steel in steelmaking eliminates a series of complex and energy-intensive processes such as mining, ore dressing, coking, and ironmaking, thus significantly saving natural resources and energy consumption. Simultaneously, this process can drastically reduce the emission of wastewater, waste gas, and waste residue, which is of positive significance for environmental protection.

[0003] With the rapid development of the steel industry, high scrap steel ratio smelting technology has become an important part of enterprises' safe production and green, low-carbon development. However, the characteristics of scrap steel also bring considerable challenges to its transportation. Scrap steel usually has sharp edges and corners, complex block size variations, and strong abrasiveness. These characteristics make traditional belt conveyors inadequate for transporting scrap steel.

[0004] Conventional belt conveyors are primarily designed for transporting general bulk materials such as coal and ore. These materials are typically of relatively uniform size, with soft edges and relatively low abrasiveness. However, when dealing with special materials like scrap steel, the tear resistance and abrasion resistance of conventional belt conveyors become inadequate. During transport, the sharp edges of scrap steel can easily puncture or tear the conveyor belt, while the intense abrasion will rapidly consume the surface material of the belt, significantly shortening its service life.

[0005] Because conventional belt conveyors cannot meet the demands of scrap steel transportation, most steel companies still rely on truck transportation to solve their logistics problems. However, this method is not only inefficient and costly, but also poses significant safety hazards. Frequent loading and unloading of scrap steel by truck increases labor costs and can easily lead to scrap steel scattering and damage during the process, further increasing the company's operating costs.

[0006] Therefore, developing a new type of conveyor belt suitable for conveying materials with sharp edges and high abrasiveness, such as scrap steel, has become an urgent problem to be solved in the steel industry. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of steel conveyor belt to solve the above-mentioned steel transportation problem.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel steel conveyor belt, comprising a base belt and a replaceable short belt; the base belt has protruding portions on both sides, and multiple mounting holes are provided on the protruding portions; the replaceable short belt is composed of a short belt and a connecting assembly, and the short belt is sequentially and tightly installed on the mounting holes of the base belt through the connecting assembly, covering the entire base belt and directly contacting the conveyed material.

[0009] Optionally, the connecting assembly includes a horizontal member, a vertical member, and an end connector.

[0010] Optionally, the transverse component has mounting holes corresponding to the short strap mounting holes, and multiple sets of general connectors and pads pass through the transverse component mounting holes and the short strap mounting holes to achieve a fixed connection; the short strap mounting holes are provided with small cover plates to form a flat surface.

[0011] Optionally, the transverse member is fused into the short strip to form an integral structure with the short strip.

[0012] Optionally, the short strip is directly fixed to the mounting holes of the base strip by multiple sets of general connectors and pads, and the mounting holes of the short strip are provided with small cover plates to form a flat surface.

[0013] Optionally, one end of the transverse member is bent and a limiting hole is formed at the other end; the bent end is fixed through the mounting hole on one side of the baseband, and the end with the limiting hole is fixed to the mounting hole on the other side of the baseband through the vertical member and the end connector.

[0014] Optionally, limiting holes are provided at both ends of the horizontal member, and it is fixed to the mounting holes on both sides of the baseband by the vertical member and the end connector.

[0015] Optionally, the replaceable short strap can be partially replaced by loosening the end connector and / or general connector.

[0016] Optionally, the short strip is a strip of uniform length or of varying length, and multiple rows of mounting holes are provided on the short strip.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1) Improved conveyor belt replaceability: The new steel conveyor belt features replaceable short belts installed on the base belt. When the short belt becomes severely worn due to prolonged operation or is locally punctured by impact from individual materials, the connectors and end connectors can be quickly loosened, enabling rapid replacement of the short belt. This design significantly improves the replaceability of the conveyor belt and reduces maintenance and time costs.

[0019] 2) Enhanced tear resistance and abrasion resistance of conveyor belts: Traditional conveyor belts are prone to tearing and abrasion when faced with sharp-edged and highly abrasive materials. The new steel conveyor belt, however, employs a replaceable short belt design, allowing the short belt to directly contact the material, avoiding direct friction and impact between the base belt and the material, thus significantly improving the conveyor belt's tear resistance and abrasion resistance.

[0020] 3) Extended base belt life: Because the replaceable short belt bears the direct contact and wear with the material, the base belt is effectively protected, thus extending its lifespan. This reduces the frequency of needing to replace the entire conveyor belt due to base belt wear, further reducing maintenance costs.

[0021] 4) Adapting to the conveying needs of complex materials: The new type of steel conveyor belt is particularly suitable for conveying materials with complex block size, sharp edges, high abrasiveness, and certain impact characteristics, such as scrap steel. This conveyor belt design meets the conveying needs of these special materials, improving logistics efficiency and production safety.

[0022] 5) Simple structure, easy installation and maintenance: The new steel conveyor belt has a relatively simple design, making installation and maintenance convenient. Through a well-designed connecting component, the short belt can be easily installed on the base belt and quickly replaced when needed. This design not only improves work efficiency but also reduces the technical requirements for operators.

[0023] 6) Improved logistics efficiency and reduced logistics costs: Compared to traditional road transport, the new steel conveyor belts significantly improve logistics efficiency and reduce loading and unloading time and labor costs. At the same time, the improved replaceability and wear resistance of the conveyor belts reduce maintenance costs, further lowering overall logistics costs.

[0024] 7) Environmental protection and energy saving: Using new steel conveyor belts can reduce resource waste and environmental pollution caused by material spillage and damage. At the same time, due to the improved wear resistance and service life of the conveyor belt, it also reduces waste and energy consumption caused by frequent conveyor belt replacement, which is in line with the development trend of environmental protection and energy saving.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model proposes a novel steel conveyor belt, which consists of a base belt 1 and replaceable short belts 2. The base belt 1 has protruding portions on both sides, similar to a typical corrugated sidewall conveyor belt. Multiple mounting holes are provided on the protruding portions of the base belt 1 for mounting the replaceable short belts 2. The replaceable short belts 2 consist of a connecting assembly 3 and short belts 4. The connecting assembly 3 is further composed of a transverse member 301, a vertical member 302, and an end connector 303.

[0041] Short belt 4 is a conveyor belt of uniform length. The conveyor belt can be made of fabric core, steel mesh, steel cord, or aramid fiber, etc. The specific choice is determined based on the actual working conditions and cost requirements. Short belt 4 has multiple rows of mounting holes in the transverse direction of the base belt, and transverse component 301 has multiple mounting holes corresponding to the positions of the single row of mounting holes in short belt 4.

[0042] Multiple sets of general connectors 5 and pads 6 pass through the mounting holes of the transverse component 301 and the short belt 4, fixing the transverse component 301 and the short belt 4 together to form a fixed connection between the connecting assembly 3 and the short belt 4. At the same time, a small cover plate 7 is used to cover the mounting holes of the short belt 4 to make the surface of the short belt 4 flat and prevent the transported steel material from being directly embedded in the mounting holes of the short belt 4.

[0043] One end of the transverse member 301 is bent, and the other end has a limiting hole. The bent end of the transverse member 301 passes through the mounting hole of the base belt 1 and is fixed to the outside of the protruding part of the base belt 1. The other end with the limiting hole passes through the mounting hole of the base belt 1, and then the vertical member 302 passes through the limiting hole of the transverse member 301. The vertical member 302 is fixed to the outside of the protruding part of the base belt 1 by using the end connector 303 and the mounting hole of the base belt 1, thereby realizing the installation of the replaceable short belt 2 on the base belt 1.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] See Figure 7 , Figure 8 Based on Embodiment 1, the transverse component 301 of the connecting assembly 3 is directly welded to the short belt 4 using a welding method, forming an integral structure with the short belt 4. This method eliminates the need for the connecting component 5, the pad 6, and the small cover plate 7, making the overall structure of the replaceable short belt 2 simpler and eliminating the risk of steel material embedding into the mounting holes of the short belt 4. However, this method requires a higher level of manufacturing process expertise.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] See Figure 9 Based on Embodiment 1, the short belt 4 is directly connected to the base belt 1 through the mounting holes of the short belt 4 via multiple sets of general connectors 5 and pads 6, eliminating the need for the connecting assembly 3. This method simplifies the structure, but may reduce the flexibility and maintainability of the replaceable short belt 2 to some extent.

[0048] Example 4

[0049] Unlike Embodiment 1, both ends of the transverse member 301 have limiting holes. Both ends of the transverse member 301 pass through the mounting holes on both sides of the base belt 1, and then the vertical member 302 passes through the limiting holes on both sides of the transverse member 301. The vertical member 302 is fixed to the outside of the protruding part of the base belt 1 by using the end connector 303 and the mounting holes of the base belt 1, realizing another way of installing the replaceable short belt 2 on the base belt 1.

[0050] Example 5

[0051] See Figures 10-11 Based on Embodiment 1, when the transverse member 301 of the connecting assembly 3 is a quasi-circular tube, the end connector 303 adopts a quasi-circular tube sealing member. The transverse member 301 and the short belt 4 are fixedly connected together by multiple sets of general connectors 5 and pads 6. The transverse member 301 passes through the mounting holes on both sides of the base belt 1, and the end connector 303 is installed on the outside of the protruding portion of the base belt 1 using general connectors, thus achieving the connection between the transverse member 301 and the base belt 1.

[0052] In practical applications, when the short belt 4 of the replaceable short belt 2 becomes severely worn due to prolonged operation or is locally punctured by impact from individual materials, the general connector 5 and the end connector 303 can be loosened to achieve quick replacement of the short belt 4. This design greatly improves the replaceability of the conveyor belt and reduces maintenance and time costs.

[0053] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the novel steel conveyor belt of this utility model has multiple installation and replacement methods, which can be selected according to actual working conditions and cost requirements to meet the usage needs in different scenarios.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this technical solution, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
