Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material flow monitoring, and in particular to a real-time material flow monitoring device for belt conveyors. Background Technology
[0002] A belt conveyor is a device that uses a continuous conveyor belt to transport materials. It moves items from one location to another via a belt and is commonly used in industrial and warehousing applications, and is particularly suitable for handling bulk materials, packaged goods, or heavy products.
[0003] Existing belt conveyors use load cells to measure the weight of materials on the conveyor belt in real time, and then combine this with the belt speed to calculate the material flow rate per unit time. However, when workers place materials on the belt conveyor, some materials may end up on the side plates, making it impossible for the belt scale to accurately measure the overall material flow rate. This affects the measurement results of the monitoring device, leading to deviations in the flow rate data. Consequently, this impacts inventory management, and consequently, replenishment and material management. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a real-time monitoring device for material flow of a belt conveyor, which can effectively solve the technical problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A real-time material flow monitoring device for a belt conveyor includes a support frame on which the belt conveyor is mounted. A detection machine is mounted on one side of the support frame. Two sets of fixed plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the support frame, and the two sets of fixed plates are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the support frame. A screw is rotatably connected to the fixed plate, and a movable plate is threaded onto the screw. Two sets of push plates are mounted on the top of the belt conveyor, and the two sets of push plates are symmetrically distributed. Connecting plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the push plates, and connecting parts are mounted on the connecting plates and connected to the movable plates. A transmission assembly is mounted on the fixed plate to drive the screw to rotate.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the connector includes a connecting groove formed on one side of the connecting plate, one end of the movable plate extending into the connecting groove, a slot formed on the connecting plate, a plug fixedly connected to one end of the movable plate, and one end of the plug penetrating through the slot.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the connector further includes a slot formed on the insert block, a card plate is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate, one side of the card plate extends into the slot, and a bolt is provided on one side of the insert block, with one end of the bolt threadedly connected to the card plate.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the transmission assembly includes a motor that is snapped onto one side of the fixed plate, one set of the two sets of screws being fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and one end of the two sets of screws penetrating through the other set of fixed plates.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the transmission assembly also includes sprockets mounted on two sets of screws, with chains meshing on the two sets of sprockets.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a protective shell is snapped onto one side of the bracket, and the protective shell covers the outside of the sprocket and the chain.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a protective plate is snapped onto one side of the fixing plate, and a rubber pad is snapped onto one side of the push plate.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] The connecting plate and the moving plate are connected by a connector. Push plates are placed on both sides of the belt conveyor to restrict the material's position, preventing material from partially resting on the side plates. Simultaneously, the transmission assembly drives the screw, which, in turn, moves the moving plate via a thread. Both moving plates simultaneously drive the push plates in a reciprocating motion, pushing the material away and preventing it from piling up on the push plates, thus avoiding material placement on the belt conveyor's side plates. This solves the problem of material partially resting on the side plates when workers place materials, preventing belt scales from inaccurately measuring the overall material flow rate, improving the accuracy of the monitoring device's measurements, and avoiding flow rate data deviations. This also avoids impacting replenishment and material management.
[0015] The screw is protected by a guard plate to prevent it from posing a risk to workers. Rubber pads are also installed on the side of the push plate to protect the materials from damage, thus increasing the protection of the materials. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a real-time material flow monitoring device for a belt conveyor includes a support 1, on which a belt conveyor 2 is mounted. A detection machine 3 is mounted on one side of the support 1. Two sets of fixing plates 4 are fixedly connected to both ends of the support 1. The two sets of fixing plates 4 are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the support 1. A screw 6 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 4, and a movable plate 5 is threadedly connected to the screw 6. Two sets of push plates 9 are symmetrically distributed on the top of the belt conveyor 2.
[0024] In this embodiment, connecting plates 8 are fixedly connected to both ends of the push plate 9. Connecting plates 8 are provided with connecting parts, which are connected to the moving plate 5. A transmission assembly is provided on the fixed plate 4, which is used to drive the screw 6 to rotate.
[0025] First, the connecting plate 8 and the moving plate 5 are connected together via connectors. Push plates 9 are placed on both sides of the belt conveyor 2 to restrict the material's position, preventing material from partially resting on the side plates. Simultaneously, the transmission assembly drives the screw 6 to move, which in turn drives the moving plate 5. Both sets of moving plates 5 simultaneously drive the push plates 9 in a reciprocating motion, pushing the material forward and preventing it from piling up on them, thus avoiding material resting on the side plates of the belt conveyor 2. This solves the problem of material partially resting on the side plates when workers place materials, preventing the belt scale from inaccurately measuring the overall material flow rate, thereby improving the accuracy of the monitoring device's measurement results and avoiding flow rate data deviations. This also avoids impacting replenishment and material management.
[0026] In this embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a motor 7 that is snapped onto one side of the fixed plate 4, two sets of screws 6 that are fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 7, and one end of each set of screws 6 that passes through the other set of fixed plates 4. The transmission assembly also includes sprockets 16 that are mounted on the two sets of screws 6, and chains 17 that are meshed on the two sets of sprockets 16.
[0027] First, the motor 7 drives a set of screws 6 to rotate. The screws 6, together with the sprocket 16 and the chain 17, drive another set of screws 6 to rotate. The two sets of screws 6 rotate synchronously, which makes it convenient for the screws 6 to drive the moving plate 5 to move, thereby increasing the ease of operation of the equipment.
[0028] One side of the bracket 1 is fitted with a protective shell 18, which covers the sprocket 16 and the chain 17. The protective shell 18 protects the sprocket 16 and the chain 17 from external damage and increases the service life of the equipment.
[0029] In this embodiment, the connector includes a connecting groove 10 on one side of the connecting plate 8, one end of the movable plate 5 extending into the connecting groove 10, a slot 11 on the connecting plate 8, a plug 12 fixedly connected to one end of the movable plate 5, and one end of the plug 12 passing through the slot 11. The connector also includes a slot 14 on the plug 12, a card plate 13 fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 8, one side of the card plate 13 extending into the slot 14, and a bolt 15 on one side of the plug 12, one end of the bolt 15 being threadedly connected to the card plate 13.
[0030] By inserting one end of the movable plate 5 into the connecting groove 10, and then inserting the insert block 12 into the slot 11, while the clamping plate 13 is engaged into the clamping groove 14, the position of the connecting plate 8 is positioned, thereby connecting the connecting plate 8 and the movable plate 5. Then, by threading one end of the bolt 15 to the clamping plate 13, the clamping plate 13 is fixed in the clamping groove 14, and the connecting plate 8 and the movable plate 5 are securely connected together, increasing the stability of the equipment during use.
[0031] A protective plate 19 is attached to one side of the fixed plate 4, and a rubber pad 20 is attached to one side of the push plate 9. The protective plate 19 protects one side of the screw 6 to prevent the screw 6 from causing harm to the workers. The rubber pad 20 on the side of the push plate 9 protects the materials from damage and increases the protection of the materials.
[0032] It should be noted that this utility model is a real-time material flow monitoring device for a belt conveyor. First, one end of the moving plate 5 is inserted into the connecting groove 10, then the insert block 12 is inserted into the slot 11, and the clamping plate 13 is engaged into the clamping groove 14 to position the connecting plate 8 and connect the connecting plate 8 to the moving plate 5. Then, one end of the bolt 15 is threadedly connected to the clamping plate 13 to fix the clamping plate 13 in the clamping groove 14, and the connecting plate 8 and the moving plate 5 are securely connected together. The push plate 9 is placed on both sides of the belt conveyor 2 to restrict the position of the material and prevent the material from being placed on the side plate. At the same time, the motor 7 drives a set of screws 6 to rotate. The screws 6, together with the sprocket 16 and the chain 17, drive another set of screws 6 to rotate. The two sets of screws 6 rotate synchronously. The screws 6, together with the threads, drive the moving plate 5 to move. The two sets of moving plates 5 simultaneously drive the push plate 9 to reciprocate. The push plate 9 simultaneously pushes the material to move, preventing the material from piling up on the push plate 9, thereby preventing the material from being placed on the side plate of the belt conveyor 2.
