Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food processing technology, and specifically relates to a belt conveyor for food processing. Background Technology
[0002] Food processing refers to the process of transforming raw materials into finished or semi-finished products that can be directly consumed through a series of physical, chemical, or biological treatments. Belt conveyors for food processing are specially designed equipment for handling and transporting raw materials or finished products during food production. In food processing, belt conveyors are commonly used to transport materials from one level of processing equipment to the next.
[0003] Existing belt conveyors for food processing utilize a motor-driven conveyor belt that rotates between rotating rollers to transport materials falling onto it. Materials fall from the previous processing equipment onto the belt, and the rotating belt moves the materials to the next processing stage. However, in practice, food processing requires various types of equipment with different functions, models, and specifications, resulting in varying processing heights. Therefore, different types of belt conveyors are needed to reliably transport materials from one stage to the next. This necessitates significant investment of time and resources in selecting and installing belt conveyors, making the process quite cumbersome. Utility Model Content

Symmetrically distributed rotating plates are fixedly fitted onto the outer arc surface of each linkage rod. Each rotating plate has a driving groove. The driving box is equipped with symmetrically distributed guide rails. A movable seat is slidably arranged between the guide rails. Multiple driving blocks are arranged on the outer side of the movable seat, and each driving block is slidably connected to an adjacent driving groove. An adjusting screw is rotatably arranged in the middle of the driving box. The adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the movable seat. A third motor is mounted on the driving box, and the output shaft of the third motor is fixed to the adjusting screw via a coupling.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a U-shaped seat is provided on the lower side of the conveyor seat away from the bracket. A rotating shaft is rotatably provided in the middle of the U-shaped seat, and a rotating frame is provided between the two ends of the rotating shaft. A sliding frame is slidably provided on the lower side of the rotating frame. Multiple positioning holes are opened on the front side of the sliding frame, and positioning bolts are inserted into the front side of the rotating frame.

A motor is arranged on the outside of the conveyor seat two, and the output shaft of the motor two is fixed to the adjacent rotating roller two by a coupling.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0010] Firstly, the motor drives the adjusting screw connected to it to rotate, so that the two rotating rods on the upper side can drive the conveyor seat two to rotate upward or downward with the upper rotating shaft as the center, thereby quickly and stably adjusting the conveying direction of the conveyor seat two, and thus stably adapting to the adjustment of the material conveying direction by the next level of processing equipment.

The driving mechanism is used to drive the rotation of the rotating rods 108.
[0023] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the drive mechanism includes a drive box 201 mounted on a fixed frame 107. Symmetrically distributed linkage rods 202 are rotatably mounted inside the drive box 201. Each linkage rod 202 is fixed to an adjacent rotating shaft via a coupling. Symmetrically distributed rotating plates 203 are fixedly mounted on the outer arc surface of each linkage rod 202. Each rotating plate 203 has a drive groove 204. Symmetrically distributed guide rails 205 are mounted on the drive box 201. Movable seats 206 are slidably mounted between the guide rails 205. Multiple drive blocks 207 are mounted on the outer side of the movable seats 206, and each drive block 207 is slidably connected to an adjacent drive groove 204. An adjusting screw 208 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the drive box 201 and threadedly connected to the movable seat 206. A motor 209 is mounted on the drive box 201, and the output shaft of the motor 209 is fixed to the adjusting screw 208 via a coupling.
[0024] like Figure 2 , 4As shown, a U-shaped seat 301 is provided on the side of the conveyor seat 2 110 away from the bracket 101. A rotating shaft 302 is rotatably provided in the middle of the U-shaped seat 301. A rotating frame 303 is provided between the two ends of the rotating shaft 302. A sliding frame 304 is slidably provided on the lower side of the rotating frame 303. Multiple positioning holes 305 are opened on the front side of the sliding frame 304. Positioning bolts are inserted into the front side of the rotating frame 303. The positioning bolts are threaded to the adjacent positioning holes 305. Symmetrically distributed limiting discs 307 are fixedly sleeved on the outer arc surface of the rotating shaft 302. Uniformly distributed limiting holes 306 are opened on both sides of the U-shaped seat 301. Limiting bolts are inserted into the limiting discs 307. The limiting bolts are threaded to the adjacent limiting holes 306.
[0025] like Figure 2 , 5 As shown, multiple rotating rollers 103 are rotatably arranged inside the conveyor seat 102, and a conveyor belt 104 is driven between the rotating rollers 103. A motor 105 is arranged on the outside of the conveyor seat 102, and the output shaft of the motor 105 is fixed to the adjacent rotating roller 103 by a coupling. Multiple rotating rollers 111 are rotatably arranged inside the conveyor seat 110, and a conveyor belt 112 is driven between the rotating rollers 111. A motor 115 is arranged on the outside of the conveyor seat 110, and the output shaft of the motor 115 is fixed to the adjacent rotating roller 111 by a coupling.
[0026] like Figure 1 , 5 As shown, a chute plate 113 is detachably installed on the side of the first conveyor seat 102 near the second conveyor seat 110, and a chute plate 114 is detachably installed on the side of the second conveyor seat 110 away from the second conveyor seat 110.
[0027] In use, the motor 209 drives the adjusting screw 208 connected to it to rotate. By adjusting the thread relationship between the adjusting screw 208 and the movable seat 206, the movable seat 206 slides between the guide rails 205, thereby causing the movable seat 206 to move up or down. During the movement of the movable seat 206, the movable seat 206 drives the driving block 207 to slide inside the driving groove 204. The cooperation between the driving block 207 and the driving groove 204 causes the linkage rod 202 where the rotating plate 203 is located to rotate, thereby causing the linkage rod 202 to drive the mounting frame 109 to rotate through the rotating shaft. Since the rotating rod 108 and the mounting frame 109 can form a parallelogram, the two rotating rods 108 on the upper side can drive the conveyor seat 110 to rotate up or down with the rotating shaft on the upper side as the center, thereby quickly and stably adjusting the conveying direction of the conveyor seat 110.
[0028] The installer rotates the rotating frame 303 until it is perpendicular to the ground. During the rotation, the rotating frame 303 drives the limiting plate 307 on the outer arc surface of the rotating shaft 302 to rotate. Then, the installer uses an external tool to tighten the limiting bolt, causing it to screw into the adjacent limiting hole 306, thus adjusting the angle of the rotating frame 303. Next, the installer slides the sliding frame 304 downwards until it contacts the ground. Then, the installer uses an external tool to tighten the positioning bolt, causing it to screw into the adjacent positioning hole 305, thus fixing the extension length of the sliding frame 304. Finally, the installer uses an external tool to tighten the fixing bolt, fixing both the bracket 101 and the sliding frame 304 to the ground. The cooperation between the sliding frame 304 and the rotating frame 303 provides auxiliary support for the conveyor seat 110, allowing the conveyor seat 110 to stably convey materials after adjusting the conveying angle.
[0029] Then, personnel use external tools to install a suitable chute plate 113 on the conveyor seat 102, so that the chute plate 113 adapts to the adjusted conveyor seat 110 to transport materials. A suitable chute plate 114 is then installed on the conveyor seat 110, so that the chute plate 114 adapts to the adjusted conveyor seat 110 to transport materials to the next level of processing equipment.
