[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] A diverting device for a feed belt conveyor, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the device includes a hopper 1, a guide cover 2 connected to the hopper 1 at the top, and a diversion assembly at the bottom. The guide cover 2 has an inlet connected to the hopper 1 on the side facing the feeding belt. The diversion assembly includes a diversion pipe 3 and a discharge cover 5. The diversion pipe 3 is connected to the hopper 1 at the top and has two discharge pipes 4 at the bottom. The two discharge pipes 4 are arranged in an inverted V-shape. A diversion protrusion is provided in the diversion pipe 3 at the position between the two discharge pipes 4. Two discharge covers 5 are provided corresponding to the discharge pipes 4. Each discharge cover 5 is connected to the diversion pipe 3 through the discharge pipe 4. A strip-shaped discharge port is provided at the bottom of the discharge cover 5.
[0027] For example, the hopper 1 can be installed and fixed on the frame of the feeding belt conveyor by conventional means such as bolts. The guide cover 2 and the diversion pipe 3 can both be installed and fixed on the hopper 1 by conventional means such as bolts. The discharge pipe 4 and the diversion pipe 3, and the discharge cover 5 and the discharge pipe 4 can also be connected by conventional means such as bolts.
[0028] In practical applications, by setting two inverted V-shaped discharge pipes 4 on the diversion pipe 3 and installing material-dividing protrusions inside the diversion pipe 3, two diversion ports can be formed at the front end of the feeding belt conveyor. Under the inertia of the belt conveyor, the material falls parabolically into the hopper 1 and the diversion pipe 3. Larger materials move towards the distant discharge pipe 4, while smaller materials move towards the closer discharge pipe 4. After being guided by the material-dividing protrusions, the materials of different sizes are discharged through the two discharge pipes 4 respectively, achieving automatic sorting by size and improving the speed of material sorting. At the same time, by installing a discharge hood 5 on the discharge pipe 4 and setting a strip-shaped discharge port on the discharge hood 5, it is beneficial to quickly discharge the material from the discharge pipe 4 and prevent material spillage, ensuring that the material can be continuously discharged along the discharge port under the guidance of the discharge hood 5, thus improving the stability of material feeding.
[0029] Preferably, the diversion pipe 3 is a rectangular tube, and a horizontal torsion part for installing the diversion pipe 3 is provided below the hopper 1. By using a rectangular diversion pipe 3 and torturing it at a certain angle, such as 10°, 15° or 20°, when the inner wall of the diversion pipe 3 contacts the material, the falling direction of the material is at a certain angle to the inner wall of the diversion pipe 3. This helps to reduce the probability that large materials will bounce to another discharge pipe 4 after colliding with the inner wall of the diversion pipe 3, thereby improving the automatic sorting effect of this diversion device on materials of different sizes, increasing the material conveying speed, and reducing the reliance on manual secondary sorting.
[0030] Preferably, a deflector 11 is provided inside the diversion pipe 3 at a position corresponding to the material distribution protrusion. The deflector 11 is rotatably mounted on the diversion pipe 3, and a drive assembly (not shown in the figure) is provided on the diversion pipe 3 for driving the deflector 11 to rotate. For example, the deflector 11 can be mounted on the material distribution protrusion by conventional means such as a rotating shaft. The drive assembly can be an existing driver to drive the deflector 11 to rotate, thereby clearing the diversion pipe 3 when it is blocked. Further details are omitted here.
[0031] In practical applications, the actuating element 11 can further extend the material distribution protrusion, which not only helps improve the separation effect of the protrusion on materials of different sizes, but also allows the operator to use the drive assembly to rotate the actuating element 11 in both directions when the distribution pipe 3 becomes blocked, thereby clearing the blockage. Furthermore, the actuating element 11 can also be used to block a single discharge pipe 4, meeting the sorting needs of this distribution device for different materials. Those skilled in the art can adjust this according to actual needs, which will not be elaborated here.
[0032] Preferably, the discharge pipe 4 is connected to the discharge cover 5 via a connecting frame 6. The connecting frame 6 is sleeved on the discharge pipe 4, and four connecting beams 7 are provided on the discharge cover 5 corresponding to the perimeter of the discharge pipe 4. Each connecting beam 7 is connected to the connecting frame 6 via a connecting piece 10. Exemplarily, the connecting frame 6 and the discharge pipe 4, the connecting beams 7 and the connecting pieces 10, and the connecting pieces 10 and the connecting frame 6 can all be connected by conventional methods such as bolts, and the connecting beams 7 can be fixed to the discharge cover 5.
[0033] In practical applications, the connecting frame 6 can also be connected to the frame of the feed belt conveyor, which helps to improve the overall stability of the diversion device. By installing the fixed connecting frame 6 on the outside of the discharge pipe 4, a lightweight design can be achieved, while strengthening the overall structural strength of the diversion device. This ensures the structural stability of the connection between the discharge pipe 4 and the diversion pipe 3, and the connection between the discharge pipe 4 and the discharge hood 5, which helps to improve the safety and reliability of the diversion device during use.
[0034] Preferably, the discharge hood 5 and the discharge pipe 4 are arranged in an L-shape, with the discharge hoods 5 on the two discharge pipes 4 arranged in parallel. By adopting this design, the guide length of the discharge hood 5 for the discharge from the discharge pipe 4 can be effectively extended, which is beneficial to improving the material feeding effect.
[0035] Preferably, rubber buffer plates 8 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the discharge hood 5 corresponding to the discharge port. For example, the rubber buffer plates 8 can be installed and fixed on the discharge hood 5 by means of screws, which can play a good role in buffering and decelerating the material. In conjunction with the strip holes on the discharge hood 5, the material can be effectively prevented from scattering.
[0036] Preferably, structural reinforcement components are provided on both the left and right sides of the discharge hood 5. The structural reinforcement components include a plurality of reinforcing members 9 spaced apart along the length direction of the discharge hood 5. Angle steel strips 12 for connecting each reinforcing member 9 are provided on the discharge hood 5. The length direction of the angle steel strips 12 is the same as the length direction of the discharge port, and the open side of the angle steel strips 12 is fixed on the discharge hood 5.
[0037] For example, the reinforcing member 9 and the discharge hood 5, the angle steel strip 12 and the reinforcing member 9, and the angle steel strip 12 and the discharge hood 5 can all be connected by conventional methods such as welding. By setting multiple reinforcing members 9 at intervals and connecting them with angle steel, the structural strength of the edge of the discharge hood 5 can be effectively improved, ensuring that the material can move stably along the discharge hood 5.
[0038] Preferably, the reinforcing member 9 is an inverted L-shaped structural member, with its horizontal end fixed to the discharge hood 5 and its vertical end connected to the angle steel strip 12. By using the inverted L-shaped reinforcing member 9 and the angle steel strip 12 to form the structural reinforcing assembly, the structural strength of the discharge hood 5 can be effectively improved while ensuring lightweight design, thereby improving the safety and reliability of this diversion device during use.
[0039] The feeder belt conveyor diversion device described in this utility model has the advantages of stable and reliable structure and high safety. By setting two discharge pipes on the diversion pipe and setting discharge hoods on the discharge pipes, the material can be automatically sorted by size under the inertia of the belt conveyor through the diversion pipe, thereby improving the material sorting speed and significantly improving the efficiency of unloading cargo by the ship unloader.
