Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship loader technology, specifically to ship loader conveyor belts, and more specifically to an improved conveyor belt mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Ship loaders, as highly efficient bulk material handling equipment, play a vital role in logistics nodes such as ports and docks. They typically consist of a series of basic components including cranes, spreaders, work platforms, and control systems. By directly transporting materials from land-based storage facilities to the cargo holds of ships, they significantly improve cargo handling efficiency. Currently, for economical and convenient operation, ship loaders often utilize conveyor belts as the transport vehicle; for example, the utility model patent with announcement number CN222204164U uses a belt conveyor. However, during transport and unloading, especially under the influence of drop and inertia, materials on the conveyor belt can easily spill onto the outside of the belt. This not only wastes materials and increases cleaning costs but also potentially pollutes water sources between the port and the ship's hold. Therefore, it is necessary to design an improved receiving structure to collect materials spilled onto the outside of the conveyor belt. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the waste and pollution problems caused by material spillage when using conveyor belts in existing ship loading machines.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An improved material receiving mechanism for a ship loader conveyor belt includes a conveyor belt, a frame fixedly mounted on the outer side of the conveyor belt, and a hopper connected to the end of the conveyor belt. A receiving plate is positioned below the conveyor belt at a certain angle to the conveyor belt's transport direction. The receiving plate is wider than the conveyor belt, and side baffles are also provided along its edges. The receiving plate and side baffles partially surround the conveyor belt.

[0006] Furthermore, the frame is hinged with a hydraulic rod, the other end of which is hinged to a receiving plate. The hydraulic rod is connected to a hydraulic pump and an oil tank, and the hydraulic pump is also electrically connected to an industrial control board.

[0007] Furthermore, the hopper includes a first hopper and a second hopper. The discharge port of the first hopper is connected to the inlet of the second hopper and there is a certain distance between them to form a gap fit. The receiving plate is hinged to a receiving plate, which is extended from the inlet of the second hopper.

[0008] Furthermore, the first hopper and the second hopper are provided with a shell on their outer side, and the shell has an opening on its side for connection with the receiving plate. The first hopper and the second hopper are connected as one unit through the shell. The first hopper collects the material from the conveyor belt, and the second hopper collects the material from the receiving plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the receiving plate and the receiving plate are hinged together by a rotating shaft. A rubber plate is provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft, and the rubber plate is respectively embedded in the side of the receiving plate and the receiving plate that contacts the material. The edge of the rubber plate is provided with protrusions, and the receiving plate and the receiving plate have inclined grooves with recesses inside the inclined grooves. The protrusions of the rubber plate fit tightly with the recesses. The rubber plate is used to protect the rotating shaft from direct impact from the material and to prevent material from getting stuck in the gaps of the rotating shaft, which could cause equipment malfunction. The inclined grooves cause the rubber plate to bend to a certain extent, and the bent rubber plate also forms a speed bump-like structure, which slightly slows down the material flow rate from the receiving plate to the receiving plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the inclined groove is a through groove, the protrusion is tightly fitted with the inclined groove, and bolts are threaded to both ends of the through groove. After unlocking all the bolts, the rubber plate is pushed out from one end of the through groove to complete the replacement.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of the first hopper is also provided with a spray system, which includes a nozzle and a pressure pump. The nozzle is directly opposite the material receiving plate and / or the receiving plate. The pressure pump is connected to a water storage tank and is electrically connected to the industrial control board.

[0012] Furthermore, a damper is provided between the hydraulic rod and the receiving plate, and a vibration motor is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the receiving plate, which is electrically connected to the industrial control board.

[0013] Furthermore, a dust cover extends from the outer edge of the first hopper toward the conveyor belt, and the dust cover surrounds the end of the conveyor belt.

[0014] Furthermore, the dust cover and the conveyor belt are slidably connected via a groove.

[0015] The advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. A receiving plate positioned at an angle to the transport direction below the conveyor belt can more effectively guide materials into the hopper. The side baffles partially surround the conveyor belt, further preventing material spillage during transport and improving the cleanliness of the working environment. The combined use of hydraulic rods and a control board allows operators to adjust the position of the receiving plate according to actual needs, accommodating different types and quantities of materials, enhancing the equipment's adaptability and flexibility.

[0017] 2. The receiving plate and the receiving plate are hinged together by a pivot and feature a detachable rubber plate design, making replacement or maintenance more convenient and quick. This not only reduces direct contact between materials and metal surfaces, thus reducing wear, but also provides a certain degree of cushioning for the materials through its elastic properties.

[0018] 3. The dust cover extending from the outer edge of the first hopper to the conveyor belt can effectively prevent dust from splashing up inside the ship's hold.

[0019] 4. The integrated spray system and vibrating motor are used to clean the material adhering to the surface of the receiving plate. The addition of a damper helps to reduce the problem of parts falling off due to vibration during equipment operation. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] Example

[0027] Please see Figures 1-2 An improved material receiving mechanism for a ship loader conveyor belt includes the following parts:

[0028] The conveying system consists of a conveyor belt 10, with a frame 11 on the outside of the conveyor belt 10 for support. The end of the conveyor belt 10 is connected to a hopper for receiving materials.

[0029] Material receiving device: A material receiving plate 20 is installed below the conveyor belt at a certain angle to the conveying direction. The material receiving plate 20 extends to both sides of the conveyor belt 10 and achieves a semi-enclosed structure of the conveyor belt 10 through the side baffles 21, thereby collecting materials more effectively.

[0030] Hydraulic adjustment mechanism: A hydraulic rod 12 is hinged to the frame 11, and the other end of the hydraulic rod 12 is hinged to the receiving plate 20. The angle between the receiving plate 20 and the conveyor belt 10 is adjusted by controlling the operation of the hydraulic pump (supplying oil from the oil tank) via the industrial control board to achieve the best material receiving effect. A vibration motor 22 is installed at the bottom of the receiving plate 20. To prevent the operation of the vibration motor 22 from damaging the hydraulic rod 12, a damper 13 is also provided on the hydraulic rod 12 to provide cushioning and prevent problems such as hydraulic rod failure caused by vibration.

[0031] Two-stage hoppers: Two cooperating first and second hoppers are used, with the discharge port of the first hopper 30 directly aligned with the inlet of the second hopper 31, and a certain distance between them to ensure a smooth transition. Simultaneously, a receiving plate 23 extends from the inlet of the second hopper 31, connected to the receiving plate 20 via a rubber plate 24. The first hopper 30 directly receives material from the conveyor belt 10, while the second hopper 31 receives material transferred from the receiving plate 20. The first hopper 30 is also equipped with a dust cover 14 that semi-encloses the end of the conveyor belt 10. The dust cover 14 has a sliding groove 33, through which the conveyor belt 10 is slidably connected to the dust cover. The outer sides of the first and second hoppers 30 and 31 are connected as one unit by a housing 32.

[0032] To facilitate the replacement of worn parts such as the rubber plate 24, a pivot 25 is used to connect the receiving plate 23 and the receiving plate 20. The rubber plate 24 is respectively embedded in the side of the receiving plate 23 and the receiving plate 20 that is in contact with the material. The edge of the rubber plate 24 is provided with a protrusion 26. The receiving plate 23 and the receiving plate 20 are provided with inclined grooves 27, and the inside of the inclined grooves 27 is provided with recesses 28. The protrusions 25 and the recesses 27 are tightly fitted. When replacement is required, the inclined grooves 27 are through grooves with threaded bolts at both ends. By loosening the fixing bolts 29 and inserting the pins, the rubber plate can be removed.

[0033] To maintain a clean working environment and ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment, a spray system 40 was added to the outside of the first hopper. This system consists of spray nozzles, a pressure pump, and a water tank, and can perform cleaning operations on the receiving plate 20 and the receiving plate 23 according to actual needs.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] Material is conveyed into the hopper via conveyor belt 10. When material spills from conveyor belt 10, it falls onto receiving plate 20, while side baffles 21 prevent material from spilling again from receiving plate 20. The industrial control board controls the hydraulic pump to adjust the angle between receiving plate 20 and conveyor belt 10. Vibration motor 22 periodically vibrates the receiving plate, causing the material adhering to its surface to move and slide into the hopper. The spraying system, regulated by the industrial control board, uses a pressure pump to periodically clean the receiving plate and receiving plate. Through these technical solutions, the material can be effectively cleaned.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
