[0002] Belt conveyors, also known as rubber belt conveyors, are mainly composed of a frame, conveyor belt, idlers, tensioning devices, and transmission devices. There are many factors that can cause belt conveyor deviation. Conventional deviations are mostly corrected during the equipment commissioning phase. Deviations during operation often occur unexpectedly. Affected by materials and external factors, the belt itself has a bending deflection value, and the deviation amount is usually within a certain length range. The wider the belt, the greater the deviation amount and the longer the deviation area. There are many idler groups in this long area, and the operation can only be adjusted one by one after the machine is stopped. This operation is very cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, seriously affecting the efficiency of the conveying work. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0018] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a conveyor with a self-aligning assembly, including a support frame 1, a self-aligning idler roller disposed on the support frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 disposed on the self-aligning idler roller, rotating rollers 3 disposed at both ends of the support frame 1, a drive motor 4 disposed on one side of the support frame 1 and pulsatorically connected to the rotating rollers 3, and also including a self-aligning bracket 5 disposed on the support frame 1, a self-aligning telescopic cylinder 6 disposed on the support frame 1, and a self-aligning connecting rod 7 pulsatorically connected to the self-aligning telescopic cylinder 6; the self-aligning bracket 5 is rotatably disposed, the self-aligning telescopic cylinder 6 is fixed on one side of the support frame 1 with its telescopic end facing the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2, one end of the self-aligning connecting rod 7 is connected to the telescopic end of the self-aligning telescopic cylinder 6, and the other end is hinged to one side of the self-aligning bracket 5, and the self-aligning telescopic cylinder 6 drives the self-aligning bracket 5 to rotate through the self-aligning connecting rod 7.

[0019] The drive motor 4 drives the roller 3 at one end of the support frame 1 to rotate. The conveyor belt 2 rests on the self-aligning idler, and the material is conveyed by the conveyor belt 2 on the self-aligning idler. The self-aligning idler is mounted on the self-aligning bracket 5. Multiple sets of self-aligning idlers and self-aligning brackets 5 are spaced apart on the upper end of the support frame 1 along the conveying method. The self-aligning brackets 5 are rotatably mounted on the support frame 1. The rotatable connection method can be a rotating shaft with a bearing. The self-aligning connecting rod 7 is located on one side of the support frame 1, with one end connected to the drive end of the self-aligning telescopic cylinder 6 and the other end extending along one side of the support frame 1. Multiple spaced self-aligning brackets 5 are connected together. One end of each self-aligning bracket 5 is hinged to the self-aligning connecting rod 7. The self-aligning connecting rod 7 is not connected to the support frame 1. The self-aligning telescopic cylinder 6 can be controlled to extend or retract, thereby causing the self-aligning connecting rod 7 to extend or retract. Multiple spaced self-aligning brackets 5 swing under the action of the self-aligning connecting rod 7. Since the swinging of the self-aligning bracket 5 will cause the self-aligning connecting rod 7 to move in a different direction when the self-aligning telescopic cylinder 6 drives the self-aligning connecting rod 7 to extend or retract, the self-aligning telescopic cylinder 6 is also hinged on the support 1, and the telescopic end is swingable to avoid affecting the swinging of the self-aligning bracket 5 and to increase the adjustable range. During the material conveying process, the multiple self-aligning brackets 5 can be adjusted in a timely manner by controlling the extension and retraction of the self-aligning telescopic cylinder 6. The operation is simple and convenient, and it does not hinder the material conveying.

[0020] like Figure 2 and 5 As shown, the self-aligning bracket 5 includes a middle plate 8 rotatably mounted on a support frame 1, a left plate 9 and a right plate 10 fixed at both ends of the middle plate 8 with their outer ends inclined upwards, a left fixed plate 11 and a right fixed plate 12 respectively disposed on the upper outer sides of the left plate 9 and the right plate 10, a left adjusting plate 13 and a right adjusting plate 14 respectively disposed on the left fixed plate 11 and the right fixed plate 12, a left adjusting elongated hole 15 respectively disposed on the outer ends of the left fixed plate 11 and the left adjusting plate 13, an adjusting bolt disposed in the left adjusting elongated hole 15, and a left adjusting plate 14 respectively disposed on the outer ends of the right adjusting plate 14. The corresponding right adjustment elongated hole 16 and the right adjustment bolt set in the right adjustment elongated hole 16; the inner end of the left fixed plate 11 and the inner end of the left adjustment plate 13 are hinged; the inner end of the right adjustment plate 14 and the inner end of the right adjustment plate 14 are hinged; the self-aligning roller includes a middle roller 17 rotatably set on the upper end of the middle plate 8, a left roller 18 and a right roller 19 rotatably set on the left plate 9 and the right plate 10, and a left adjustment roller 20 and a right adjustment roller 21 rotatably set on the left adjustment plate 13 and the right adjustment plate 14, respectively; the left adjustment roller 20 and the right adjustment roller 21 are located outside the left roller 18 and the right roller 19, respectively.

[0021] The middle plate 8, left plate 9, and right plate 10 form a C-shaped self-aligning bracket 5. A middle roller 17, left roller 18, and right roller 19 are rotatably mounted on this self-aligning bracket 5 to form a conventional self-aligning idler assembly. An adjustable idler assembly is added to the upper outer side of the left plate 9 and right plate 10. The left idler assembly consists of a left fixed plate 11, a left adjusting plate 13, a left adjusting elongated hole 15, and a left adjusting roller 20. The right idler assembly consists of a right fixed plate 12, a right adjusting plate 14, a right adjusting elongated hole 16, and a right adjusting roller 20. The roller 21 is composed of a left adjustment elongated hole 15 with an elongated hole pile at the outer end of the left fixed plate 11 and the left adjustment plate 13. Before the conveyor runs, the outer end of the left adjustment plate 13 can be manually swung up or down. After reaching the appropriate position, it can be locked with bolts. The same applies to the right side. When the conveyor belt 2 deviates, the contact area and angle between the left adjustment roller 20 and the right adjustment roller 21 and the conveyor belt 2 can be adjusted after the machine stops to achieve the effect of correction and further improve the stability of the conveyor belt 2.

[0022] like Figure 2 and 5 As shown, the self-aligning bracket 5 also includes a horizontal plate 22 fixed to one end of the middle plate 8, and the self-aligning connecting rod 7 is connected to the horizontal plate 22.

[0023] The self-aligning bracket 5 has an upward-opening C-shaped structure. To facilitate the connection between the self-aligning connecting rod 7 and the self-aligning bracket 5 and to ensure stable adjustment, a horizontal plate 22 that is at the same level as the middle plate 8 is added for easy installation.

[0024] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, the system also includes a tensioning frame 23 disposed at the lower end of the support frame 1, a first guide roller 24 and a second guide roller 25 rotatably disposed at the upper end of the tensioning frame 23 and horizontally spaced apart, a sliding frame 26 slidably disposed on the tensioning frame 23, a third guide roller 27 rotatably disposed on the sliding frame 26, and a counterweight block 28 fixed at the lower end of the sliding frame 26; the third guide roller 27 is located below the first guide roller 24 and the second guide roller 25, and the conveyor belt 2 is laid on the self-aligning idler, the rotating roller 3 at one end of the support frame 1, the first guide roller 24, the third guide roller 27, the second guide roller 25, and the rotating roller 3 at the other end of the support frame 1.

[0025] The conveyor belt 2 is sequentially wrapped around the self-aligning idler, the rotating roller 3 at one end of the support frame 1, the first guide roller 24, the third guide roller 27, the second guide roller 25, and the rotating roller 3 at the other end of the support frame 1. The counterweight 28 can adaptively tension the conveyor belt 2 during operation. The tension can be adjusted according to the needs of the counterweight 28, making it more convenient to use and more stable in operation.

[0026] like Figure 1 , 3As shown in Figure 4, the tensioning frame 23 includes an upper frame 29 located below the support frame 1, a left upright 30 and a right upright 31 respectively fixed to the lower end of the upper frame 29, and a left slide rail 32 and a right slide rail 33 respectively disposed on the left upright 30 and the right upright 31; the first guide roller 24 and the second guide roller 25 are rotated and horizontally spaced on the upper frame 29, the left slide rail 32 and the right slide rail 33 are vertically arranged, and the sliding frame 26 is slidably disposed on the left slide rail 32 and the right slide rail 33 on both sides respectively.

[0027] The first guide roller 24 and the second guide roller 25 are installed at intervals and rotate on the inner side of the upper frame 29. The sliding frame 26 is equipped with sliders at both ends. The sliders are provided with grooves that are adapted to the left slide rail 32 and the right slide rail 33. The grooves can be narrow grooves. The counterweight 28 is suspended below the sliding frame 26 and moves up and down with the sliding frame 26. When the conveyor belt 2 is running, the counterweight 28 will move up and down according to the force on the conveyor belt 2. It will not cause excessive tension on the conveyor belt 2, which will affect the stable operation of the conveyor belt 2 and extend the service life of the conveyor belt 2. No additional shutdown adjustment is required by the staff, making it more convenient to use.
