Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of belt conveyor equipment technology, and more specifically, to a belt conveyor assembly for carrying cables. Background Technology

[0002] In mining operations such as coal mines and other mining operations, belt conveyors are key equipment for the continuous transportation of materials. As the mining face advances, the belt conveyor needs to be moved forward periodically as a whole. However, traditional belt conveyor systems suffer from difficulties in cable and equipment placement: belt conveyor operation requires supporting power cables, control cables, etc., and in existing technologies, there is a lack of dedicated, easily movable storage locations for these cables. A common practice is to temporarily weld brackets to one side of the belt conveyor and coil or stack the cables on the brackets. This method is cumbersome, the cables are prone to tangling and wear, and the brackets themselves are heavy. When the belt conveyor moves forward with the working face, the cables are inconvenient to move.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to improve existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, a belt conveyor assembly for carrying cables is provided, which facilitates the placement of cables.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

Detailed Implementation

[0030] 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.

[0031] Example:

[0032] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a belt conveyor assembly for carrying cables includes multiple mounting brackets 1 arranged in sequence. Adjacent mounting brackets 1 are detachably connected. Specifically, one end of the mounting bracket 1 is fixedly connected to a plug plate 15, and the other end is provided with a plug hole 16 that matches the plug plate 15. Adjacent mounting brackets 1 are connected into a whole by inserting the plug plate 15 into the plug hole 16 and fixing them with bolts.

[0033] Each mounting bracket 1 has a storage slot 2 at its upper end. Adjacent storage slots 2 are interconnected and used to place cables or other supporting equipment.

[0034] Preferably, the storage tank 2 includes a base plate 21 and side plates I 22 and II 23 disposed on both sides of the base plate 21, forming a U-shaped tank structure. The base plate 21 is fixedly disposed on the top of the mounting frame 1, and the side plates I 22 are fixedly connected to the base plate 21. A vertical guide groove is provided on one side of the base plate 21, and a vertical guide rail 25 that cooperates with the vertical guide groove is provided on the inner side of the side plate II 22. An upper limit plate 26 and a lower limit plate 27 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the side plate II 22; the upper limit plate 26 and the lower limit plate 27 limit the upper and lower positions of the side plate II 22. When it is necessary to load or unload cables, the side plate II 23 can be slid downward to facilitate loading and unloading of goods. A locking mechanism 4 is provided between the side plate II 22 and the base plate 21 to prevent the side plate II 22 from falling accidentally.

[0035] For easy locking, the locking mechanism 4 includes a limiting shaft 41 rotatably mounted on the lower end of the base plate 21. A spiral blade 42 is fixedly connected to the limiting shaft 41. The spiral blade has 1 / 4 to 3 / 4 turns. A torsion spring is provided between the limiting shaft 41 and the base plate 21. A limiting groove 24 that mates with the spiral blade 29 is provided on the lower limiting plate 27. In the normal state (when the torsion spring releases its elastic force), the lower end of the spiral blade 42 is aligned with the limiting groove 24. When the side plate II 22 moves upward, the limiting groove 24 passes through the spiral blade 29 and drives the spiral blade 29 to rotate until the lower limiting plate 27 reaches the upper end of the spiral blade 29. At this time, the torsion spring releases its elastic force, causing the upper end of the spiral blade 42 to be misaligned with the limiting groove 24, thereby locking the side plate II 22.

[0036] To facilitate loading and unloading heavy objects, an auxiliary manipulator 5 is provided on the side of the base plate 21 near the side plate II 22. Preferably, the auxiliary manipulator 5 includes a sliding base 51, a column 52, a crossbar 53, a slide bar 54, and an end effector 55. A slide rail 56 is provided on the upper side of the base plate 21, and the sliding base 51 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 56, allowing the auxiliary manipulator 5 to move to different positions. The lower end of the column 52 is rotatably mounted on the sliding base 51 via a support bearing and a flange. One end of the crossbar 53 is fixedly connected to the column 52, and the slide bar 54 is slidably mounted on the other end of the crossbar 53 in the vertical direction. The end effector 55 is located at the lower end of the slide bar 54, and the end effector 55 adopts an existing self-powered gripper.

[0037] A lifting drive mechanism 6 is provided between the slide bar 54 and the crossbar 53. The lifting drive mechanism 6 includes a drive motor 61, a rack 62 and a gear 63. The rack 62 is fixedly mounted on the slide bar 54, the drive motor 61 is fixedly mounted on the crossbar 53, and the gear 63 is mounted on the motor shaft of the drive motor 61 and meshes with the rack 62.

[0038] When the auxiliary robot arm 5 is working, the sliding base 51 and the column 52 are manually moved and rotated to the appropriate positions. The drive motor 61 drives the slide bar 54 and the end effector 55 to descend and clamp the heavy object through the gear and rack mechanism. Then, the drive motor 61 reverses to lift the heavy object and rotates the column 52 to place the heavy object in the appropriate position.

[0039] The mounting frame 1 has multiple reinforcing ribs 13 at its lower end. The mounting frame 1 is equipped with upper rollers 11 and lower rollers 12 for cooperating with the belt. Support rods 14 are provided in the middle of the front and rear sides of the mounting frame 1, and the upper rollers 11 are mounted on the support rods 14.

[0040] The lower end of each mounting bracket 1 is equipped with a slipper 3 to reduce friction. When it is necessary to move this component, a traction device can be connected to move the entire assembly.

[0041] The above description only describes the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model, and all such changes should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
