Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of belt running distance measuring devices, and in particular to a real-time monitoring belt running distance measuring device. Background Technology
[0002] The main function of belt conveyor distance measurement is to monitor and control the operating status of the belt conveyor, ensuring efficient and safe operation. Specifically, belt conveyor distance measurement uses laser distance sensors to achieve multiple functions, including monitoring belt misalignment, material height, speed, and wear, thereby improving efficiency, safety, and maintenance levels.
[0003] For example, a device for real-time monitoring of belt running distance, as disclosed in patent publication number CN210504474U, has the following key technical features: it includes a base plate and a conveyor belt. Baffles are connected to both sides of the base plate, and rollers are connected between the two baffles. The conveyor belt is connected to the outer wall of the rollers. A support plate is also connected between the two baffles. A feeding hand is connected to the outer wall of the baffles, and a suction cup that mates with a first workpiece is connected to the outer wall of the feeding hand. An encoder is connected to the outer wall of the base, and a coupling is connected to the outer wall of the encoder. A friction wheel is connected to the end of the coupling furthest from the encoder, and the friction wheel abuts against the outer wall of the conveyor belt. This invention can monitor the actual running distance of the conveyor belt and then feed it back to the servo motor for compensation, ensuring that the actual running distance of the conveyor belt is the same each time, thus achieving real-time monitoring.
[0004] In the aforementioned prior art, the base is installed on the frame by means of a screw connection. However, the bolts are prone to corrosion after long-term operation. When the encoder is damaged after long-term operation, the corrosion of the bolts makes it difficult for the staff to disassemble and replace it, which in turn affects the distance measurement effect of the equipment on the belt and greatly reduces the practicality of the equipment.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-4This utility model provides a real-time monitoring belt running distance measuring device, including a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 on the inner wall of the frame 1, a workpiece 3 on the top of the conveyor belt 2, a snap-fit groove 4 on one side of the top of the frame 1, a fixing plate 5 snapped into the inner wall of the snap-fit groove 4, a connecting plate 6 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the fixing plate 5, a connecting plate 7 fixedly connected to the other side of the top of the fixing plate 5, an encoder 8 fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 6, a coupling 9 connected to the encoder 8 on the other side of the connecting plate 6, a connecting shaft on the connecting plate 7 and a friction wheel 10 through the connecting shaft, triangular reinforcing rods 12 symmetrically installed at the bottom of the fixing plate 5, an elastic locking mechanism on the side of the triangular reinforcing rods 12 away from the frame 1, snap-fit rods 11 symmetrically installed at the bottom of the fixing plate 5 near the snap-fit groove 4, and snap-fit holes for snap-fit rods 11 to snap into at the bottom of the inner wall of the snap-fit groove 4.
[0027] When the stand 1 is working, the workpiece 3 is placed on the conveyor belt 2 by the feeding and receiving mechanism. As the conveyor belt 2 moves, it drives the friction wheel 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting shaft and coupling 9 to rotate. The encoder 8 then transmits the number of rotations of the connecting plate 6 to the control center. The number of rotations of the connecting plate 6 is then monitored and calculated to achieve real-time monitoring and calculation of the running distance of the conveyor belt 2. When the parts on the fixed plate 5 are damaged and need to be replaced, the elastic locking mechanism on the lower triangular reinforcing rod 12 limits the fixed plate 5, and then the fixed plate 5 is moved upward, so that the snap-fit rod 11 on the fixed plate 5 moves out of the snap-fit hole in the snap-fit groove 4. Then the fixed plate 5 can be replaced. This completes the replacement and maintenance of the fixed plate 5, increasing the efficiency of the workers in replacing and maintaining the parts on the fixed plate 5.
[0028] The elastic locking mechanism includes a sleeve 13 fixedly connected to the triangular reinforcing rod 12 on the side away from the upright 1. A movable block 14 is provided at the end of the sleeve 13. A hexagonal plug rod 15 with a limit and sliding connection is provided on the movable block 14 and is slidably connected inside the sleeve 13. A movable plate 16 is fixedly connected to the outer contour of the hexagonal plug rod 15. A return spring 17 that is sleeved with the hexagonal plug rod 15 is provided on the movable plate 16. An inner hexagonal baffle 18 for the hexagonal plug rod 15 to be slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 13 near the movable block 14 is provided. A hexagonal groove for the hexagonal plug rod 15 to be engaged is provided on the upright 1.
[0029] When the fixed plate 5 is damaged, the movable block 14 is pulled to move the hexagonal plug rod 15 outward, causing the hexagonal plug rod 15 to move out of the hexagonal slot through the upright 1 and the triangular reinforcing rod 12. As the hexagonal plug rod 15 moves, the movable plate 16 also moves, allowing the fixed plate 5 to move upward and the locking rod 11 to move upward, thus removing the locking rod 11 from the locking hole at the bottom of the inner wall of the locking groove 4. Then, a new fixed plate 5 is replaced. First, the movable block 14 is pulled outward to move the hexagonal plug rod 15 outward, causing the hexagonal plug rod 15 to move out of the hexagonal slot through the upright 1 and the triangular reinforcing rod 12. Furthermore, when the hexagonal plug rod 15 moves, it also drives the movable plate 16 to move, and the movable plate 16 squeezes the return spring 17. Then, by inserting the snap-fit rod 11 on the fixed plate 5 into the snap-fit hole opened at the bottom of the snap-fit groove 4, the initial positioning of the fixed plate 5 is completed. At this time, the sleeve 13 can be loosened, and the elasticity generated by the squeezed return spring 17 drives the hexagonal plug rod 15 to return to its original position. The hexagonal plug rod 15 is inserted into the upright 1 and the triangular reinforcing rod 12 through the hexagonal groove, completing the snap-fit positioning of the fixed plate 5. This makes it easier for workers to replace the fixed plate 5 and increases the efficiency of workers in disassembling, assembling and repairing the fixed plate 5.
[0030] The outer contour of the internal hexagonal baffle 18 is provided with external threads, and the inner wall of the sleeve 13 is provided with an internal thread 19 that matches the external threads on the side close to the internal hexagonal baffle 18. An anti-slip sleeve 20 is fitted on the outer contour of the movable block 14, and the outer surface of the anti-slip sleeve 20 is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0031] When the return spring 17 is damaged, the hexagonal connector 15 can be completely moved into the sleeve 13 by pulling the sleeve 13. Then the sleeve 13 will drive the internal hexagonal baffle 18 to rotate, so that the external thread on the internal hexagonal baffle 18 is separated from the internal thread 19. Then the return spring 17 can be removed and replaced.
[0032] Working principle: When the upright 1 is working, the workpiece 3 is placed on the conveyor belt 2 by the feeding and receiving mechanism. As the conveyor belt 2 moves, it drives the friction wheel 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting shaft and coupling 9 to rotate. Subsequently, the encoder 8 transmits the number of rotations of the connecting plate 6 to the control center. The number of rotations of the connecting plate 6 is then monitored and calculated to achieve real-time monitoring and calculation of the running distance of the conveyor belt 2. When the fixed plate 5 is damaged, the movable block 14 is pulled to move the hexagonal insertion rod 15 outward, causing the hexagonal insertion rod 15 to move out of the hexagonal slot opened through the upright 1 and the triangular reinforcing rod 12. When the hexagonal insertion rod 15 moves, it also drives the movable plate 16 to move. At this time, the fixed plate 5 can be moved upward, causing the locking rod 11 to move upward, and then the locking rod 11 is opened from the bottom of the inner wall of the locking groove 4. The fixed plate 5 is then removed from the snap-fit hole and replaced with a new one. First, the movable block 14 is pulled outward to move the hexagonal plug rod 15 outward, so that the hexagonal plug rod 15 moves out of the hexagonal slot through the upright 1 and the triangular reinforcing rod 12. When the hexagonal plug rod 15 moves, it also moves the movable plate 16, and the movable plate 16 presses the return spring 17. Then, by inserting the snap-fit rod 11 on the fixed plate 5 into the snap-fit hole at the bottom of the inner wall of the snap-fit groove 4, the initial positioning of the fixed plate 5 is completed. At this time, the sleeve 13 can be loosened, and the elasticity generated by the pressed return spring 17 drives the hexagonal plug rod 15 to return to its original position. The hexagonal plug rod 15 is then inserted into the hexagonal groove through the upright 1 and the triangular reinforcing rod 12 to complete the snap-fit positioning of the fixed plate 5. At this time, the replacement of the damaged fixed plate 5 is completed.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
