Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of triangular adhesive bonding machine technology, and more specifically, to a conveyor belt detection mechanism and a conveyor belt cooling device. Background Technology
[0002] In the tire manufacturing industry, the cooling length required for conventional rubber products is generally 60-110 meters. Traditional cooling methods mainly include natural cooling, air cooling, water cooling, and drum cooling. In the prior art, patent announcement number CN101716821B discloses a spiral cooling device, including a conveyor chain forming a closed loop. Cooling chambers are arranged along the path of the conveyor chain, and multiple horizontally arranged drive drums are placed within each chamber. The conveyor chain enters from the cooling chamber inlet, winds around the drive drums sequentially, and exits from the cooling chamber outlet. The winding method of the conveyor chain on the drive drums is spiral winding, with the winding direction of the conveyor chain on adjacent drive drums being opposite. The conveyor chain outside the cooling chamber is supported by a set of idlers, one of which is designated as the drive roller.
[0003] During use, the conveyor belt may shift and cause overlap. If the fault is not dealt with in time, it will affect the service life of the conveyor belt or even cause more serious problems such as belt breakage. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a conveyor belt detection mechanism and a conveyor belt cooling device to solve the problem of difficulty in timely detection of conveyor belt overlap in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a conveyor belt detection mechanism is provided, comprising a fixed frame disposed at the feed end of a conveyor belt cooling device; a detection component movably connected to the fixed frame, the detection component having a detection part located at the gap between two parallel conveyor belt segments, and when the two conveyor belt segments are stacked, the conveyor belt pushes the detection part to move and exit the gap; and a detection switch disposed on the fixed frame, which is triggered after the detection component moves.
[0006] Furthermore, the detection assembly includes a connecting frame, on which the detection unit is mounted; and a guide rod, which is mounted on the connecting frame and is movably connected to the fixing frame.
[0007] Furthermore, the detection assembly also includes a reset component, which is mounted on the guide rod and drives the connecting frame to move closer to the conveyor belt.
[0008] Furthermore, the detection unit includes a detection wheel, which is rotatably connected to the connecting frame.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer edge of the detection wheel has a circumferentially oriented protrusion located at the gap between two adjacent conveyor belts.
[0010] Furthermore, at least part of the guide rod extends out of the connecting frame and forms a trigger part, which cooperates with the detection switch.
[0011] Furthermore, the guide rod also includes a connecting part, which is connected to the connecting frame, and a trigger part is located at the end of the connecting part away from the connecting frame. The diameter of the trigger part is larger than the diameter of the connecting part; and / or there are multiple guide rods, which are parallel to each other and form multiple trigger parts.
[0012] Furthermore, the conveyor belt conveying detection device also includes a crossbeam, which is installed on the conveyor belt cooling device and perpendicular to the direction of the gap extension; a mounting plate, which is movably connected to the crossbeam along the length of the crossbeam, and a fixing frame is installed on the mounting plate.
[0013] Furthermore, the crossbeam has a first sliding structure, and the mounting plate has a second sliding structure that cooperates with the first sliding structure.
[0014] According to another aspect of the present invention, a conveyor belt cooling device is provided, including the aforementioned conveyor belt detection mechanism.
[0015] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, the following technical effects are achieved:
[0016] In the cooling system, the conveyor belt travels in a spiral. Each turn of the conveyor belt around the cooling device constitutes a segment. During normal operation, a gap exists between two segments of the conveyor belt, and the detection device is located within this gap. When the conveyor belts shift and overlap, the gap between the two segments decreases until it disappears. This causes the detection component to detach from the gap and come into contact with the surface of the conveyor belt. This process causes a change in the position of the detection component. The detection switch detects this change and issues an alarm signal to alert the operator. This method can quickly detect conveyor belt overlap problems, preventing more serious conveyor belt failures, reducing equipment failure rates, and improving equipment stability. By reducing equipment failures, conveyor belt wear can be reduced, extending conveyor belt service life, increasing conveyor belt lifespan, and lowering operating costs. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To address the problem of difficulty in timely detection of conveyor belt overlap in existing technologies, this application provides a conveyor belt detection mechanism and a conveyor belt cooling device.
[0027] See Figures 1 to 3 The conveyor belt detection mechanism includes a fixed frame 10, a detection component 20, and a detection switch 30. The fixed frame 10 is located at the feed end of the conveyor belt cooling device. The detection component 20 is movably connected to the fixed frame 10. The detection component 20 has a detection part 24, which is located in the gap between two parallel conveyor belt segments. When the two conveyor belt segments are stacked, the conveyor belt pushes the detection part 24 to move and exit the gap. The detection switch 30 is located on the fixed frame 10. The detection switch 30 is triggered after the detection component 20 moves.
[0028] In the cooling system, the conveyor belt travels in a spiral. Each turn of the conveyor belt around the cooling system constitutes a segment. During normal operation, a gap exists between two segments of the conveyor belt, and the detection device is located within this gap. When the conveyor belts shift and overlap, the gap between the two segments decreases until it disappears. This causes the detection component 20 to detach from the gap and come into contact with the surface of the conveyor belt. This process causes a change in the position of the detection component 20. At this point, the detection switch 30 detects this change and issues an alarm signal to alert the operator. This allows for the rapid detection of conveyor belt overlap problems, preventing more serious conveyor belt failures, reducing equipment failure rates, and improving equipment stability. By reducing equipment failures, conveyor belt wear can be reduced, extending conveyor belt service life, increasing conveyor belt lifespan, and lowering operating costs.
[0029] In this application, the detection component 20 includes a connecting frame 21 and a guide rod 22, and the detection part 24 is disposed on the connecting frame 21; the guide rod 22 is disposed on the connecting frame 21 and is movably connected to the fixing frame 10.
[0030] The movable connection between the guide rod 22 and the fixed frame 10 facilitates changes in the positions of the connecting frame 21 and the detection unit 24. This allows the detection unit 24 to easily trigger the detection switch 30.
[0031] In this application, the detection component 20 also includes a reset member 23, which is disposed on the guide rod 22 and drives the connecting frame 21 to move closer to the conveyor belt.
[0032] To increase the accuracy of detection by the detection component 20, a reset component 23 is added to the detection component 20. The reset component 23 drives the connecting frame 21 to move closer to the conveyor belt, providing a force to the connecting frame 21 in the direction of the conveyor belt. This prevents the connecting frame 21 from bouncing due to vibration or other reasons, thus avoiding false triggering of the detection switch 30 and preventing meaningless alarms.
[0033] In this application, the detection unit 24 includes a detection wheel, which is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 21.
[0034] In this application, the outer edge of the detection wheel has a circumferentially oriented protrusion located at the gap between two adjacent conveyor belts.
[0035] Because the detection unit 24 is always in contact with the surface of the cooling device or the surface of the conveyor belt when the conveyor belt is stacked, in order to reduce the wear of the detection unit 24, the detection unit 24 adopts a detection wheel. By rotating the detection wheel, friction and wear are reduced, the service life of the detection unit 24 is increased, and the wear on the surface of the conveyor belt when the detection unit 24 is in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt is reduced.
[0036] By setting up the protrusion, it is easier for the inspection wheel to enter the gap between the two sections of the conveyor belt.
[0037] In this application, at least a portion of the guide rod 22 extends out of the connecting frame 21 and forms a trigger portion, which cooperates with the detection switch 30. The guide rod 22 also includes a connecting portion, which is connected to the connecting frame 21. The trigger portion is located at the end of the connecting portion away from the connecting frame 21, and the diameter of the trigger portion is larger than the diameter of the connecting portion.
[0038] By setting a trigger part and making its diameter larger than that of the connecting part, when the conveyor belt overlaps, the larger diameter trigger part is more easily detected by the detection switch 30, reducing the occurrence of situations where the detection switch 30 fails to detect the trigger part, thereby improving the accuracy and precision of the detection.
[0039] There are multiple guide rods 22, which are parallel to each other and form multiple trigger parts. By setting multiple trigger parts, the detection trigger parts are more easily detected by the detection switch 30, reducing the occurrence of situations where the detection switch 30 fails to detect the trigger parts, thereby improving the accuracy and precision of the detection.
[0040] In this application, the conveyor belt conveying detection device also includes a crossbeam 40 and a mounting plate 50. The crossbeam 40 is mounted on the conveyor belt cooling device and is perpendicular to the direction of the gap extension. Along the length of the crossbeam 40, the mounting plate 50 is movably connected to the crossbeam 40, and the fixing frame 10 is mounted on the mounting plate 50.
[0041] Depending on the actual usage requirements, the width of the conveyor belt may be changed, or the entire conveyor belt may be adjusted, which will cause the position of the gap between the conveyor belts to change. To accommodate this change, a fixing plate is set on a mounting plate 50 that can slide on the crossbeam 40. By changing the position of the mounting plate 50 on the crossbeam 40, the detection component 20 can be matched with the gap after the position is changed, increasing the flexibility of the detection component 20 in use.
[0042] In this application, the crossbeam 40 has a first sliding structure, and the mounting plate 50 has a second sliding structure that cooperates with the first sliding structure.
[0043] The interaction between the first and second sliding structures facilitates the sliding between the mounting plate 50 and the crossbeam 40. Preferably, the first sliding structure on the crossbeam 40 is a slide rail, and the second sliding structure on the mounting plate 50 is a slider. The cooperation between the slide rail and the slider facilitates the sliding of the crossbeam 40 on the slide rail. Furthermore, the crossbeam 40 or the mounting plate 50 is also provided with a locking element, such as a pin, to fix the sliding mounting plate 50.
[0044] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:
[0045] 1. In the cooling system, the conveyor belt travels in a spiral. Each turn of the conveyor belt around the cooling system constitutes a segment. During normal operation, a gap exists between two segments of the conveyor belt, and the detection device is located within this gap. When the conveyor belts shift and overlap, the gap between the two segments decreases until it disappears. This causes the detection component 20 to detach from the gap and come into contact with the surface of the conveyor belt. This process causes a change in the position of the detection component 20. At this time, the detection switch 30 detects this change and issues an alarm signal to alert the operator. This allows for the rapid detection of conveyor belt overlap problems, preventing more serious conveyor belt failures, reducing equipment failure rates, and improving equipment stability. By reducing equipment failures, conveyor belt wear can be reduced, extending conveyor belt service life, increasing conveyor belt lifespan, and lowering operating costs.
[0046] 2. A reset component 23 is added to the detection component 20. The reset component 23 drives the connecting frame 21 to move closer to the conveyor belt, providing a force to the connecting frame 21 in the direction of the conveyor belt. This prevents the connecting frame 21 from bouncing due to vibration or other reasons, thus avoiding false triggering of the detection switch 30 and preventing meaningless alarms.
