Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ore conveying equipment, specifically a belt conveyor that is easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] Ore mining and transportation mainly includes open-pit or underground mining, crushing, loading and transportation. Open-pit mining obtains ore through drilling and blasting or mechanical stripping, while underground mining requires tunneling and the use of rock drilling equipment. After being coarsely crushed by jaw crushers, the ore is transported to the concentrator by belt conveyors or mine cars. Some mining areas use driverless trucks or pipelines to improve efficiency.

[0003] Most existing belt conveyors can conveniently transport materials, but the maintenance of their conveyor belts is extremely troublesome. Existing conveyor belts are usually disassembled by force when they are under tension, which can easily lead to damage to the conveyor belt and affect the transport performance. Moreover, the installation is extremely inconvenient and requires the use of brute force to install the conveyor belt again. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a belt conveyor that is easy to maintain. It has the advantage that the disassembly process does not affect the conveyor belt, and solves the problem that while most existing belt conveyors can easily transport materials, the maintenance of their surface conveyor belts is extremely troublesome. Existing conveyor belt maintenance usually involves using force to disassemble the tensioned conveyor belt, which can easily lead to damage to the conveyor belt, affecting transportation performance. Moreover, installation is extremely inconvenient and requires the use of brute force to reinstall the conveyor belt.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A belt conveyor that is easy to maintain includes a conveyor frame and a conveyor belt disposed outside the conveyor frame. The conveyor frame is provided with a functional hole inside. A maintenance member is disposed inside the functional hole, extending from either side of the front or rear of the functional hole to below it. A push slider that presses against the maintenance member is slidably disposed inside the functional hole. A spring is provided at the end of the push slider that can apply elastic force to the push slider and drive it to push the maintenance member. The other end of the spring is connected to a guide frame extending to the outside of the end of the conveyor frame. A rotatable support roller is disposed outside the guide frame that supports the conveyor belt. A limiting piece is inserted into the outside of the conveyor frame that extends to the outside of the guide frame and restricts its horizontal position.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0009] Furthermore, the maintenance component includes a C-shaped maintenance frame, with a drying assembly fixedly disposed on the inner side of the maintenance frame facing the conveyor belt, and a scraping frame that contacts the conveyor belt fixedly connected to the outer side of the maintenance frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the width of the scraping frame is greater than the width of the conveyor belt, and the scraping frame is bent and is made of a flexible metal sheet.

[0011] Furthermore, the drying assembly consists of a drying rack, a small fan, and a heating wire, with the airflow of the small fan directed towards the heating wire and the conveyor belt located in the extension direction of their connection.

[0012] Furthermore, an inclined force-applying block is provided on the inner side of the maintenance frame, and the end of the push slider is adapted to the inclined force-applying block and affects the direction of the elastic force through the inclined force-applying block.

[0013] Furthermore, the guide frame is provided with a limiting step on the outside, and the limiting plate is C-shaped and limits the horizontal displacement of the guide frame through the limiting step.

[0014] Furthermore, the conveyor frame is provided with a limiting groove inside, and the push slider is provided with a limiting member that extends into the limiting groove and forms a sliding connection therethrough.

[0015] This utility model provides a belt conveyor that is easy to maintain. By setting functional holes, under normal conditions, the spring provides elastic force, which can apply elastic force to the push sliders and guide frames on both sides. Under the action of the limiting plate and the elastic force, the guide frame can always keep against the limiting plate, thereby effectively providing the tension required for normal installation of the conveyor belt. The push slider on the other side is squeezed against the maintenance component under the action of the elastic force, so that the maintenance component can be against the surface of the conveyor belt to form effective maintenance of the conveyor belt.

[0016] When the conveyor belt needs to be disassembled and maintained, the push slider can be pushed first to further compress the spring, making it easier to remove the maintenance components. This allows the spring to have more room to relax. At this time, the guide frame can be slid inside the functional hole to change the position of the support roller shaft, thereby reducing the tension at the conveyor belt and facilitating its removal. For installation, the above operation steps are reversed. During the overall operation, when the spring is further compressed, the tension at the conveyor belt is not affected because the limiting plate can hold the support roller shaft in place. This prevents damage to the conveyor belt caused by violent disassembly and has the advantage of not affecting the conveyor belt during disassembly. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a belt conveyor that is easy to maintain, including a conveyor frame 1 and a conveyor belt 2 disposed outside the conveyor frame 1. The conveyor frame 1 has a functional hole 3 inside, and a maintenance member 4 is disposed inside the functional hole 3, extending from either side of the functional hole 4 to its lower side. A push slider 5 is slidably disposed inside the functional hole 3, which presses against the maintenance member 4. A spring 6 is disposed at the end of the push slider 5, which can apply elastic force to the push slider 5 and drive it to push the maintenance member 4. The other end of the spring 6 is connected to a guide frame 7 extending to the outer side of the end of the conveyor frame 1. A rotatable support roller 8 is disposed outside the guide frame 7, which supports the conveyor belt 2. A limiting piece 9 is inserted into the outside of the conveyor frame 1, extending to the outside of the guide frame 7 and limiting its horizontal position.

[0023] The maintenance component 4 includes a C-shaped maintenance frame 41, with a drying component 42 fixedly installed on the inner side of the maintenance frame 41 facing the conveyor belt 2, and a scraping frame 43 that contacts the conveyor belt 2 fixedly connected to the outer side of the maintenance frame 41.

[0024] The maintenance component 4 of this type of setup can cooperate with the scraper 43 and the drying component 42 to complete the temporary maintenance work on the surface of the conveyor belt. During the operation, the drying component 42 is used for initial heating first, and then the scraper 43 is used to effectively scrape the target position to prevent dirt from adhering to the surface of the conveyor belt 2.

[0025] Furthermore, even if the initial scraping cannot completely remove the soil, the residual soil will dry out during transportation and heating, making the secondary scraping process easier.

[0026] The scraper 43 is wider than the conveyor belt 2, and the scraper 43 is bent and is made of a flexible metal sheet.

[0027] The scraper 43 with this configuration can effectively scrape the entire surface of the conveyor belt 2, preventing any situation where it is not completely scraped off.

[0028] The drying assembly 42 consists of a drying rack, a small fan, and a heating wire. The airflow of the small fan is directed toward the heating wire, and the conveyor belt 2 is located in the extension direction of the line connecting them.

[0029] This design effectively raises the temperature of the soil on the conveyor belt surface, increasing molecular activity. This allows some of the soil to fall off directly or partially dry during heating, preventing large-scale adsorption.

[0030] In particular, the conveyor belt 2 should be made of high-temperature resistant material, with a temperature tolerance exceeding the highest temperature that the heating wire can reach.

[0031] The inner side of the maintenance frame 41 is provided with an inclined force-applying block, which pushes the end of the slider 5 to be adapted to the inclined force-applying block and affects the direction of the elastic force applied through the inclined force-applying block.

[0032] The inclined force-applying block is set in conjunction with the push slider 5. During use, when the elastic force of the spring 6 acts on it, the maintenance frame 41 has an upward tendency, which allows the scraping frame 43 to effectively fit with the conveyor belt 2 and increase the scraping effect.

[0033] The guide frame 7 is provided with a limiting step on the outside, and the limiting piece 9 is C-shaped and limits the horizontal displacement of the guide frame 7 through the limiting step.

[0034] The setting of the limiting step can effectively restrict the position of the guide frame 7, thereby preventing it from moving further and causing an increase in tension.

[0035] The conveyor frame 1 is provided with a limiting groove inside, and the push slider 5 is provided with a limiting member that extends into the limiting groove and forms a sliding connection therethrough.

[0036] By setting the limiting groove and limiting component, the movement direction of the push slider 5 can be effectively restricted, so that it can only move horizontally in the lateral direction.
