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.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a conveyor belt tension adjustment mechanism, including two symmetrically arranged mounting seats 1. The upper ends of the two mounting seats 1 are symmetrically fixedly connected to two mounting plates 2. A conveyor belt 5 is arranged between the two mounting plates 2. Considering that the conveyor belt will become loose due to loss of elasticity or other reasons after running for a period of time, a first tension adjustment component is arranged between the two mounting plates 2, and a second tension adjustment component is arranged at the lower end of the conveyor belt 5. The tension of the conveyor belt 5 is adjusted from above by the first tension adjustment component, and the tension of the conveyor belt 5 is adjusted from below by the second tension adjustment component.

The two corresponding connecting rods 907 are jointly fixedly connected to an upper top roller 908.

[0026] In summary, the improvement of this embodiment lies in:

[0027] By activating two cylinders 802, the telescopic ends of the two cylinders 802 drive the lower pressure roller 804 to move downward through the fixed seat 803. The lower pressure roller 804 presses on the conveyor belt 5, and the tension of the conveyor belt 5 is adjusted from the upper end of the conveyor belt 5. By activating two geared motors 901, the output ends of the geared motors 901 drive the second rotating rod 905 to rotate through the transmission structure. The second rotating rod 905 drives the upper top roller 908 to rotate through the mounting rod 906 and the connecting rod 907. The two upper top rollers 908 rotate upward relative to each other and press against the conveyor belt 5. The tension of the conveyor belt 5 is adjusted from the lower end of the conveyor belt 5 to ensure that the conveyor belt 5 can transport goods normally.

[0028] Based on the above, other structures also need to be disclosed in detail, such as:

[0029] Please see Figure 3 Considering that the first rotating rod 902 drives the second rotating rod 905 to rotate, each transmission structure includes a first gear 903 and a second gear 904. Each first gear 903 is fixedly sleeved on the first rotating rod 902, and each second gear 904 is fixedly sleeved on the second rotating rod 905. The first gear 903 and the second gear 904 are meshed together, and the first rotating rod 902 drives the second rotating rod 905 to rotate through the first gear 903 and the second gear 904.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The two mounting plates 2 are rotatably connected at both ends to a drive roller 3 and a driven roller 4. The conveyor belt 5 is fitted on the drive roller 3 and the driven roller 4. A conveyor motor 10 is fixedly installed on one of the mounting plates 2. The output end of the conveyor motor 10 is fixedly connected to the drive roller 3. The output end of the conveyor motor 10 drives the drive roller 3 to rotate. The drive roller 3, in conjunction with the driven roller 4, can drive the transmission belt to move.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 In order to install the cylinder 802, a first fixing plate 801 is fixedly connected to both mounting plates 2, and the two cylinders 802 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the first fixing plate 801.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 In order to install the geared motor 901, the first rotating rod 902 and the second rotating rod 905, a rectangular plate 6 is fixedly connected to both mounting bases 1. Two square plates 8 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the rectangular plate 6. The two geared motors 901 are symmetrically fixedly installed on one of the square plates 8. The two first rotating rods 902 and the second rotating rod 905 are symmetrically rotatably connected to the two square plates 8.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 The ratio of the number of teeth between the first gear 903 and the second gear 904 is 1:5. The ratio of the rotational speeds of the first gear 903 and the second gear 904 is adjusted so that the ratio of their rotational speeds is 5:1.

[0034] In summary, the working principle of this solution is as follows:

[0035] When adjusting the tension of the conveyor belt 5, two cylinders 802 are activated. The telescopic ends of the two cylinders 802 drive the lower pressure roller 804 downward through the fixed seat 803. The lower pressure roller 804 presses on the conveyor belt 5, and the tension of the conveyor belt 5 is adjusted from the upper end of the conveyor belt 5. Two reduction motors 901 are activated. The left reduction motor 901 rotates clockwise, and the right reduction motor 901 rotates counterclockwise. The output end of the reduction motor 901 drives the first rotating rod 902 to rotate. The first rotating rod 902 drives the second rotating rod 905 to rotate through the first gear 903 and the second gear 904. The second rotating rod 905 drives the upper top roller 908 to rotate through the mounting rod 906 and the connecting rod 907. The two upper top rollers 908 rotate upward relative to each other and press against the conveyor belt 5. The tension of the conveyor belt 5 is adjusted from the lower end of the conveyor belt 5 to ensure that the conveyor belt 5 can transport goods normally.

[0036] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a controller. Since the controller is a common device and belongs to existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.
