Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of belt conveyor conveying equipment, specifically to a belt conveyor mid-drive and tensioning forward and reverse rotation device. Background Technology

[0002] Belt conveyors are general-purpose products widely used in industries such as coal, power, metallurgy, chemical, machinery, grain, light industry, ports, and building materials. They consist of single units or multiple units combined into a conveying system, transporting various powdery, granular, and lumpy materials with a bulk density generally less than 2500 kg / m³. They are particularly suitable for conveying pre-mixed materials prepared in a specific ratio, and can also transport soft-packaged goods. With rapid technological advancements, the application of belt conveyors is becoming increasingly widespread. Traditional belt conveyors typically have their drive and tensioning devices located at both ends. While this ensures operational requirements, it can lead to instability, belt loosening, and slippage during production and installation. Existing central drive or tensioning devices are often separate designs, resulting in low transmission efficiency and large space requirements. Furthermore, belts are prone to loosening during forward and reverse operation, affecting conveying efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this invention aims to provide a compact, stable, and reversible belt conveyor device that supports both forward and reverse rotation and end-to-end feeding. This device integrates a drive unit and a tensioning unit in the middle of the belt conveyor, and combines the transmission frame and the screw tensioning frame into a single unit. A hollow shaft geared motor enables forward and reverse belt rotation. This invention solves problems such as unstable belt operation, belt loosening, and slippage in belt conveyors, and allows for end-to-end feeding, improving work efficiency and reducing production and investment costs.

[0004] To achieve the above technical objectives, the following technical solutions were adopted:

[0005] A belt conveyor mid-drive and tensioning forward and reverse reversing device includes a transmission frame and a spiral tensioning frame integrally connected to the right side of the transmission frame. Both the transmission frame and the spiral tensioning frame are located below the middle of the entire belt. A transmission drum, a redirecting drum located to the upper right of the transmission drum, and an additional redirecting drum located to the lower right of the transmission drum are rotatably mounted on the transmission frame. A power device for rotating the transmission drum is directly connected to the side of the transmission drum. A spiral tensioning device is provided on the right side of the redirecting drum, and the spiral tensioning device is mounted on the spiral tensioning frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the redirecting roller is rotatably mounted on a roller seat located below it, the roller seat being slidably mounted on the transmission frame and capable of longitudinal movement on the helical tensioning device.

[0007] Furthermore, the spiral tensioning device has a built-in screw adjustment mechanism that can dynamically adjust the belt tension.

[0008] Furthermore, the screw adjustment mechanism is controlled by a handwheel or electric drive to achieve precise adjustment of belt tension.

[0009] Furthermore, the screw adjustment mechanism is equipped with a self-locking nut to prevent tension relaxation caused by vibration or load changes.

[0010] Furthermore, the power unit is mounted on a power unit base, and the power unit base is provided with a buffer pad to absorb the vibration and impact of the power unit during operation.

[0011] Furthermore, the power unit is a hollow shaft geared motor, and the belt runs bidirectionally by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the hollow shaft geared motor.

[0012] Furthermore, the installation position of the reversing roller is adjustable. By adjusting the distance between it and the drive roller, the belt wrap angle can be increased to 220°~240° to further prevent belt slippage.

[0013] Furthermore, the surface of the drive roller is cast with a rubber layer, and herringbone or diamond grooves are engraved on the surface to enhance friction.

[0014] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0015] This invention provides a mid-section drive and tensioning forward / reverse device for a belt conveyor. Compared with existing technologies, placing the drive unit in the middle of the conveyor allows for effective transmission of driving force across the entire belt length, ensuring uniform conveyor operation. Placing the tensioning device in the middle better balances belt tension, maintaining a relatively consistent tension along the entire length, ensuring belt stability and accuracy. Furthermore, the integrated design of the drive frame and tensioning frame optimizes the overall conveyor layout, simplifies installation, and improves installation accuracy and load-bearing capacity. Adding a reversing roller increases the drive wrap angle, further preventing belt slippage. Therefore, this invention offers advantages such as simple structure, convenient installation, good load-bearing capacity, excellent belt tension, and stable conveying. Attached Figure Description
