Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of scrap steel material conveying technology, and relates to a scrap steel conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] As an indispensable raw material in the steelmaking process, scrap steel has gained increasing strategic importance in recent years thanks to the continuous advancements in short-process electric arc furnace technology and high scrap ratio converter processes. In the downstream processes of steelmaking, the application of scrap steel is quite mature, becoming a key factor in improving steel production efficiency, reducing costs, and optimizing resource utilization. However, in the upstream recycling, processing, and treatment stages of scrap steel, current technological levels remain relatively lagging, becoming a major bottleneck restricting the scrap steel industry from moving towards high-quality development.

[0003] The lack of mechanization and automation in the scrap steel recycling process is particularly prominent. Traditional scrap steel recycling methods often rely on a large amount of manual labor, which is not only inefficient but also labor-intensive and costly. At the same time, due to the lack of effective automation and intelligent means, errors often occur in the sorting, screening, and preliminary processing of scrap steel, leading to resource waste and increased subsequent processing costs.

[0004] Currently, truck transportation is the most common method for transporting scrap steel. While flexible, this method is inefficient and results in high logistics costs. Truck transportation requires a significant investment of vehicles and manpower, and is subject to various factors such as traffic conditions and weather, increasing the uncertainty of delivery time. Furthermore, truck transportation carries significant safety hazards, such as traffic accidents and cargo spillage, all of which threaten the safe production of the scrap steel industry.

[0005] More importantly, road transport also faces significant environmental pressures. With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, issues such as exhaust emissions and noise pollution generated during scrap steel transportation are drawing growing attention. Traditional road transport methods struggle to meet environmental requirements, increasing operating costs for businesses and negatively impacting the environment.

[0006] Besides transportation issues, scrap steel also faces problems such as material falling off and getting stuck during transport. Because scrap steel materials vary in shape and size, traditional conveying equipment is prone to material falling off the conveyor belt edges or getting stuck in the gaps between the conveyor belt and side baffles, leading to equipment downtime and production interruptions. These problems not only affect production efficiency but also increase equipment maintenance costs and downtime.

[0007] In summary, the current scrap steel industry faces significant bottlenecks hindering its high-quality development. These include insufficient mechanization and automation in recycling, processing, and handling; high overall processing costs; substantial safety risks and environmental pressures; and issues such as material spillage and jamming during transport. Therefore, developing a highly efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly scrap steel conveyor is crucial to addressing the problems of existing conveying methods and promoting the transformation, upgrading, and sustainable development of the scrap steel industry.

[0032] Specific Implementation Example 1,

[0033] Please see Figures 1-3This is a scrap steel conveyor, mainly comprising a side baffle 1, a baffle support 4, an upper toothed belt 2, a lower toothed belt 3, a conveyor belt 5, an upper idler roller group 6, an intermediate frame 7, a lower idler roller group 8, and support legs 9.

[0034] Side baffles and baffle brackets: Side baffles 1 are installed along the length of the conveyor and fixed to both sides of the conveyor by baffle brackets 4, providing stable lateral support for the conveyor. Figure 2 As shown, the baffle bracket 4 is connected to the side baffle 1 and the main structure of the conveyor by welding or bolting to ensure the stability of the side baffle 1.

[0035] Conveyor belt and upper idler assembly: Conveyor belt 5 is mounted on the surface of upper idler assembly 6 for conveying scrap steel materials. Upper idler assembly 6 consists of multiple parallel idler rollers that support the upper load-bearing section of conveyor belt 5, ensuring the smooth operation of scrap steel materials during conveying.

[0036] Upper toothed belt and lower toothed belt: such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper toothed belt 2 comprises continuously arranged upper teeth 201 and upper tooth pressure strips 202, which are fixed to the inner side of the side baffle 1 by welding, bolting, riveting, or snap-fitting. The lower toothed belt 3 comprises continuously arranged lower teeth 301 and lower tooth pressure strips 302, which are fixed to the edge of the tape 5 in the same way. The upper teeth 201 and lower teeth 301 form a toothed meshing structure, which effectively solves the problem of material falling off and jamming caused by the gap between the side baffle 1 and the tape 5.

[0037] The upper toothed belt 2 and the lower toothed belt 3 adopt a modular and detachable structure, and are arranged in sections along the length of the side baffle 1, which facilitates later maintenance and replacement.

[0038] The upper tooth 201 and the lower tooth 301 are designed with a trapezoidal or arc-shaped structure. This design not only enhances the meshing force between the teeth, but also improves the wear resistance and service life of the teeth.

[0039] Outriggers 9: Outriggers 9 are spaced along the length of the conveyor and fixed to the ground by welding or bolting to provide stable support for the conveyor. The number and arrangement of outriggers 9 are adjusted according to the length and load requirements of the conveyor to ensure smooth operation of the conveyor.

[0040] Lower idler group and intermediate frame: The lower idler group 8 consists of multiple parallel idlers, which support the lower return section of the conveyor belt 5 and ensure the continuity and stability of the conveyor belt 5 during the conveying process.

[0041] The intermediate frame 7 is the main steel structure of the entire conveyor equipment. It is arranged along the entire length of the conveyor and connects the upper and lower roller groups (upper roller group 6 and lower roller group 8) and the support legs 9, providing overall structural support for the conveyor.

[0042] Specific embodiment 2,

[0043] Working Principle: When the scrap steel conveyor is working, the scrap steel material is placed on the upper carrying section of belt 5. As belt 5 moves continuously, the scrap steel material is transported to its destination. Due to the toothed meshing design of the upper toothed belt 2 and the lower toothed belt 3, the scattering and jamming of scrap steel material during the conveying process are effectively prevented. At the same time, the automated and continuous operation of the conveyor reduces manual intervention, improves conveying efficiency, and reduces operating costs.

[0044] In summary, this utility model's scrap steel conveyor, through its unique design and structure, effectively solves the problems existing in current conveying methods, and promotes the transformation, upgrading, and sustainable development of the scrap steel industry.
