Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of belt conveyors, and more specifically, it relates to an adjustable cleaner structure for belt conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] Belt conveyors are mechanical devices that transport bulk materials or packaged goods in a continuous and efficient manner. They are widely used in industries such as mining, ports, power, chemicals, grain processing, and logistics warehousing. Using a ring conveyor belt as the traction and load-bearing component, and in conjunction with drive devices, idlers, rollers, and other components, they can achieve horizontal or inclined material transport. Belt conveyors are an indispensable material transport equipment in modern industry, and their high efficiency, reliability, and flexibility have led to their widespread application in many industries.

[0003] In the prior art, patent announcement number CN221893984U discloses a belt conveyor cleaner including a frame, a conveyor belt, a cleaning assembly, and a discharge pipe. Material is placed on the upper body of the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt is driven to start working. The material is conveyed through the conveyor belt to the discharge pipe. The inclined scraper is positioned to abut against the lower side of the conveyor belt, causing the material attached to the lower belt to be scraped off. The scraped material falls into the discharge pipe. This structure effectively cleans the material adsorbed on the lower body of the conveyor belt, significantly saving labor costs. When the thickness of the material adsorbed on the lower body of the conveyor belt is inconsistent, the inclined scraper can adjust itself through the compression spring. When the material adsorbed on the lower body of the conveyor belt is thicker, the compression spring is further stretched, thus increasing the pressure of the inclined scraper on the adsorbed material through the compression spring.

[0004] In the aforementioned technical solutions, existing belt conveyors leave a significant amount of dust particles, such as coal dust and ore powder, on the surface of the conveyor belt after material transport. If these fine particles are not cleaned, they will become embedded between the conveyor belt cover rubber and the canvas layer, accelerating belt delamination and aging. Furthermore, the residual material is dispersed during cleaning, leading to excessive environmental dust concentrations. Therefore, this paper proposes an adjustable cleaner structure for belt conveyors to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an adjustable cleaner structure for belt conveyors, which solves the problem mentioned in the background art that a large amount of dust particles, such as coal powder and ore powder, remain on the surface of the conveyor belt. If these fine particles are not cleaned, they will become embedded between the conveyor belt cover rubber and the canvas layer, accelerating belt delamination and aging. At the same time, the residual material will fly around during the cleaning process, leading to excessive dust concentration in the environment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An adjustable cleaner structure for a belt conveyor includes a conveyor belt, with support side frames on both sides of the conveyor belt. A conveyor base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support side frames, and a side guard plate is provided on the top of the conveyor base. A cleaning outer box is provided on one side of the conveyor belt, and a side support frame is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning outer box. A motor body is fixedly connected to one side of the side support frame, and a main drive rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor body. A transmission frame is fixedly connected to one side of the main drive rod, and a cleaning brush is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission frame.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, an inner connecting frame is fixedly connected to the inner side of the cleaning outer box, and a cleaning brush is fixedly connected to the inner side of the inner connecting frame.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, one end of the main drive rod is fixedly connected to an extension rod, and one end of the extension rod is fixedly connected to a transmission fan.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, an inner connecting pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning outer box, and an inner sliding groove is provided on the inner side of the inner connecting pipe. The inner side of the inner sliding groove is slidably connected to the surface of the extension rod.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, an outer fixing sleeve is fixedly connected to one side of the inner connecting tube, an outer movable sleeve is provided on one side of the outer fixing sleeve, and a barrier net is fixedly connected to one side of the outer movable sleeve.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, an internal threaded ring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer fixed sleeve, an external threaded ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the outer movable sleeve, and a gripping ring is fixedly connected to one side of the outer movable sleeve.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) The present invention fixes the motor body to one side of the conveyor belt by the side support frame. After the motor body is started, the main drive rod is driven to rotate. The rotating main drive rod will drive the transmission frame to move. The rotating transmission frame will drive the cleaning brush to move. The rotating cleaning brush will contact the surface of the conveyor belt and clean the dust particles that are covered and stuck to the surface of the conveyor belt. During the continuous movement of the cleaning brush driven by the transmission frame, the cleaning brush will contact the sweeping brush. When the moving cleaning brush and the sweeping brush come into contact, they will collide. The sweeping brush will clean the particles and other debris stuck to the surface of the cleaning brush, which improves the cleanliness of the brush during the continuous cleaning of the conveyor belt and improves the cleaning effect of the cleaning brush on the conveyor belt.

[0015] (2) During the operation of this utility model, the rotating transmission fan will generate wind along the inner side of the outer fixed sleeve, blowing the air around the cleaning brush to the outer side of the outer fixed sleeve. The rotation of the transmission fan reduces the particulate dust raised by the cleaning brush. The raised particulate dust will be blown into the outer fixed sleeve with the rotation of the transmission fan and blocked by the barrier net on one side of the outer fixed sleeve. When too much dust accumulates in the barrier net, the operator can rotate the grip ring and drive the outer movable sleeve to rotate along the inner side of the outer fixed sleeve. Through the threaded connection between the inner thread ring and the outer thread ring, the outer movable sleeve can be disassembled along one side of the outer fixed sleeve, which improves the portability of disassembling and cleaning the barrier net. At the same time, the cleaning outer box can move freely along the surface of the conveying base, which improves the adjustability of the cleaning mechanism. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides an adjustable cleaner structure for a belt conveyor, specifically including a conveyor belt 1, side support frames 2 on both sides of the conveyor belt 1, a conveyor base 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the side support frames 2, a side guard plate 4 on the top of the conveyor base 3, a cleaning outer box 501 on one side of the conveyor belt 1, a side support frame 502 fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning outer box 501, a motor body 503 fixedly connected to one side of the side support frame 502, a main drive rod 504 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor body 503, a transmission frame 505 fixedly connected to one side of the main drive rod 504, and a cleaning brush 506 fixedly connected to one side of the transmission frame 505. In this embodiment, the rotating main drive rod 504 drives the transmission frame 505 to move, the rotating transmission frame 505 drives the cleaning brush 506 to move, and the rotating cleaning brush 506 contacts the surface of the conveyor belt 1 to clean the dust particles covering the surface of the conveyor belt 1.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an inner connecting frame 507 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer cleaning box 501, and a cleaning brush 508 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the inner connecting frame 507. During the continuous movement of the cleaning brush 506 driven by the transmission frame 505, the cleaning brush 506 will come into contact with the cleaning brush 508. When the moving cleaning brush 506 comes into contact with the cleaning brush 508, a collision will occur, and the cleaning brush 508 will be used to clean the particles and other debris adhering to the surface of the cleaning brush 506.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4As shown, one end of the main drive rod 504 is fixedly connected to an extension rod 601, and one end of the extension rod 601 is fixedly connected to a transmission fan 604. The rotation of the transmission fan 604 reduces the particulate dust raised by the cleaning brush 506 during cleaning. The raised particulate dust is blown into the outer fixed sleeve 605 by the rotation of the transmission fan 604 and blocked by the barrier net 609 on one side of the outer fixed sleeve 605. An inner connecting pipe 602 is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning outer box 501. An inner sliding groove 603 is opened on the inner side of the inner connecting pipe 602. The inner side of the inner sliding groove 603 is slidably connected to the surface of the extension rod 601. During the continuous rotation of the main drive rod 504, it will synchronously drive the extension rod 601 to rotate. The rotating extension rod 601 will rotate along the inner side of the inner sliding groove 603 and use the inner sliding groove 603 for movable support. An outer fixed sleeve 605 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner connecting tube 602. An outer movable sleeve 607 is provided on one side of the outer fixed sleeve 605. A barrier net 609 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer movable sleeve 607. The rotation of the drive fan 604 reduces the particulate dust raised by the cleaning brush 506 during cleaning. The raised particulate dust will be blown into the outer fixed sleeve 605 with the rotation of the drive fan 604 and blocked by the barrier net 609 on one side of the outer fixed sleeve 605.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an internally threaded ring 606 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer fixed sleeve 605, an externally threaded ring 608 is fixedly connected to the surface of the outer movable sleeve 607, and a grip ring 6010 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer movable sleeve 607. In this embodiment, the operator can rotate the grip ring 6010, thereby causing the outer movable sleeve 607 to rotate along the inner side of the outer fixed sleeve 605. Through the threaded connection between the internally threaded ring 606 and the externally threaded ring 608, the outer movable sleeve 607 can be disassembled along one side of the outer fixed sleeve 605, improving the portability of disassembling and cleaning the barrier net 609.

[0027] The specific usage and function of this embodiment: During daily operation, the conveyor belt 1 is supported on the top of the conveyor base 3 by the support side frame 2, and the conveyor belt 1 moves along the inner side of the side guard plate 4 to convey the material to be conveyed along the surface of the conveyor belt 1.

[0028] During the conveying process, a significant amount of particulate matter and debris accumulates on the surface of conveyor belt 1. When the surface of conveyor belt 1 moves to the inside of the cleaning outer casing 501, the motor body 503 is first started. The side support frame 502 then fixes the motor body 503 to one side of the conveyor belt 1. After the motor body 503 starts, it drives the main drive rod 504 to rotate. The rotating main drive rod 504 drives the transmission frame 505 to move. The rotating transmission frame 505 drives the cleaning brush 506 to move. The rotating cleaning brush 506 then comes into contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 1. The surface contact method cleans the dust particles adhering to the surface of the conveyor belt 1. During the continuous movement of the cleaning brush 506 driven by the transmission frame 505, the cleaning brush 506 will come into contact with the sweeping brush 508. When the moving cleaning brush 506 and the sweeping brush 508 come into contact, they will collide. The sweeping brush 508 will sweep away the particles and other debris adhering to the surface of the cleaning brush 506, thereby improving the cleanliness of the brush during the continuous cleaning of the conveyor belt 1 by the cleaning brush 506 and improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning brush 506 on the conveyor belt 1.

[0029] As the main drive rod 504 rotates continuously, it synchronously drives the extension rod 601 to rotate as well. The rotating extension rod 601 rotates along the inner side of the inner sliding groove 603 and is supported by the inner sliding groove 603. The extension rod 601 passes through both the inner and outer sides of the inner connecting tube 602, driving the drive fan 604 on one side of the inner connecting tube 602 to rotate. The rotating drive fan 604 generates airflow along the inner side of the outer fixed sleeve 605, blowing the air around the cleaning brush 506 to the outer side of the outer fixed sleeve 605. The rotation of the drive fan 604 reduces the particulate matter and dust raised by the cleaning brush 506 during cleaning. The raised particulate matter and dust will then be dispersed by the airflow. The rotation of the drive fan 604 blows into the outer fixed sleeve 605, and is blocked by the barrier net 609 on one side of the outer fixed sleeve 605. When too much dust accumulates in the barrier net 609, the operator can rotate the grip ring 6010 and drive the outer movable sleeve 607 to rotate along the inner side of the outer fixed sleeve 605. Through the threaded connection between the inner threaded ring 606 and the outer threaded ring 608, the outer movable sleeve 607 can be disassembled along one side of the outer fixed sleeve 605, which improves the portability of disassembling and cleaning the barrier net 609. At the same time, the cleaning outer box 501 can move freely along the surface of the conveying base 3, which improves the adjustability of the cleaning mechanism.

[0030] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art and are not key to this utility model, therefore they will not be elaborated upon.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
