Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of conveyor belt technology, specifically to a quick loading and unloading clamping device for the baffle plate of a conveyor belt guide trough. Background Technology

[0002] The application of guide chute baffles in conveyor belt systems is quite mature. However, traditional guide chute baffles typically rely on fasteners such as screws and bolts for installation and disassembly, resulting in cumbersome and time-consuming installation procedures. Especially in industrial applications where the position of the baffles needs frequent replacement or adjustment, this traditional installation method often fails to meet the requirements for speed and convenience.

[0003] An existing patent (publication number: CN202642660U) discloses a material conveyor belt baffle device, relating to the field of fertilizer production equipment. It includes a conveyor frame with a conveyor belt mounted on it. The key feature is that baffles are inclinedly arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt, fixed to the conveyor frame, with their lower ends abutting the conveying surface of the conveyor belt. The baffles are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt. This utility model has a simple and reasonable structural design. The inclined baffles can concentrate materials distributed near the sides of the conveyor belt to the middle of the conveyor belt, preventing materials from falling during transport and facilitating the collection of materials from the conveyor belt in the next process.

[0004] The baffles mentioned above are usually fixed by fasteners such as screws and bolts, which results in cumbersome installation steps and long installation time. Especially in some scenarios where the position of the baffle needs to be frequently changed or adjusted, this traditional fixed installation method often cannot meet the needs of quick installation and removal of the baffle. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a quick-loading and clamping device for baffle plates in conveyor belt guide troughs, which can significantly improve the installation and disassembly efficiency of baffle plates, reduce manual operation time and costs, and improve the overall operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a quick loading and unloading clamping device for a conveyor belt guide trough baffle plate, comprising a U-shaped base and a baffle plate, wherein a clamping mechanism is provided between the U-shaped base and the baffle plate, and the clamping mechanism includes convex blocks fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the baffle plate, wherein each convex block has a first limiting hole and a second limiting hole on its bottom surface.

[0007] The inner wall of the U-shaped base is provided with concave grooves on both sides. The inner wall of each concave groove is slidably fitted with a first limiting post and a second limiting post. The bottom surface of each first limiting post and the second limiting post is fixedly connected with a compression spring of corresponding size.

[0008] The above solution enables convenient assembly and disassembly of the baffle plate without the need for additional tools, thus facilitating the replacement of the baffle plate. At the same time, the two first limiting posts and two second limiting posts limit the two convex blocks respectively, which can effectively improve the stability of the baffle plate being engaged inside the U-shaped base.

[0009] Furthermore, the dimensions of the convex block correspond to the dimensions of the concave groove, and the dimensions of the second limiting hole are smaller than the dimensions of the first limiting hole.

[0010] The above solution allows the convex block to slide smoothly in the concave groove, and by setting the first limiting hole and the second limiting hole to different sizes, the baffle plate can be easily and stably snapped into the inside of the U-shaped base.

[0011] Furthermore, the diameter of the first limiting post is greater than the diameter of the second limiting post, and the bottom end of each compression spring is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall on both sides of the U-shaped base.

[0012] The above solution allows the convex block to slide smoothly into the end of the concave groove, preventing the first limiting post from getting stuck in the second limiting hole, thus improving the stability of the connection between the U-shaped base and the baffle plate.

[0013] Furthermore, two reserved slots are opened on both sides of the outer surface of the U-shaped base, and a sliding handle is installed on the inner wall of each reserved slot. The four handles are respectively fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the two first limiting posts and the two second limiting posts.

[0014] The above solution allows for easy movement of the first or second limiting post, facilitating the subsequent removal of the baffle plate from the U-shaped base.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of each convex block near the second limiting hole is passivated.

[0016] With the above solution, as the convex block slides along the inner wall of the concave groove, it can smoothly press down on the first and second limiting posts, thereby making it easier to snap the baffle plate into the inside of the U-shaped base.

[0017] Furthermore, one end of the U-shaped base is hinged to an iron plate via a pin, and two symmetrical magnets are installed on the end of the U-shaped base near the iron plate, both of which are magnetically connected to the iron plate.

[0018] The above solution allows for sealing one end of the U-shaped base opening after the baffle plate is engaged in the U-shaped base, thus ensuring a more stable engagement of the baffle plate within the U-shaped base.

[0019] Furthermore, rubber side pads are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped base, and a rubber bottom pad is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the U-shaped base.

[0020] The above solution can reduce the noise and wear caused by vibration of the baffle plate during the operation of the conveyor belt.

[0021] Furthermore, each of the four corners of the U-shaped base is equipped with a mounting seat, and the inner wall of each mounting seat is threaded with a mounting bolt.

[0022] The above solution allows for easy installation of the U-shaped base above the conveyor belt, making it convenient to use.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] This conveyor belt guide chute baffle quick-release clamping device can conveniently clamp the baffle into the U-shaped base through a clamping mechanism, eliminating the need for additional tools to quickly replace the baffle. It also reduces the chance of surface damage to the baffle caused by frequent screw removal and installation, thus reducing equipment maintenance costs. Furthermore, this sliding clamping method reduces the difficulty of manual operation and optimizes the baffle installation and removal process. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 This embodiment of a quick-release clamping device for a conveyor belt guide trough baffle includes a U-shaped base 1 and a baffle 2. A clamping mechanism 3 is provided between the U-shaped base 1 and the baffle 2. The clamping mechanism 3 enables convenient assembly and disassembly of the U-shaped base 1 and the baffle 2, improving assembly and disassembly efficiency and reducing damage to the baffle 2 during assembly and disassembly. The clamping mechanism 3 includes convex blocks 301 fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the baffle 2. Each convex block 301 has a first limiting hole 302 and a second limiting hole 303 on its bottom surface. Concave grooves 304 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped base 1. The concave groove 304 allows the convex block 301 to slide inside the baffle plate 2, thus facilitating the smooth sliding of the U-shaped base 1 within the baffle plate 2 during installation. This also facilitates the installation and disassembly of the baffle plate 2. The dimensions of the convex block 301 correspond to the dimensions of the concave groove 304, and the dimensions of the second limiting hole 303 are smaller than those of the first limiting hole 302. By limiting the above dimensional relationship, the convex block 301 can slide smoothly within the concave groove 304. Furthermore, by setting the dimensions of the first limiting hole 302 and the second limiting hole 303 to be different sizes, the baffle plate 2 can be stably and securely engaged inside the U-shaped base 1.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6Each concave groove 304 has a first limiting post 305 and a second limiting post 306 slidably fitted on its inner wall. The bottom surface of each first limiting post 305 and second limiting post 306 is fixedly connected to a compression spring 307 of corresponding size. By setting the compression spring 307, the positions of the first limiting post 305 and the second limiting post 306 can be easily limited, and the elasticity of the compression spring 307 can be used to allow the first limiting post 305 and the second limiting post 306 to respectively engage with the first limiting hole 30. 2. The first limiting post 305 has a larger diameter than the second limiting post 306. The bottom end of each compression spring 307 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall on both sides of the U-shaped base 1, which allows the convex block 301 to slide smoothly into the end of the concave groove 304, and prevents the first limiting post 305 from getting stuck in the second limiting hole 303, thus improving the stability of the connection between the U-shaped base 1 and the baffle plate 2.

[0036] It should be noted that a compression spring 307 is installed on the bottom surface of each first limiting post 305 and second limiting post 306. Since the diameters of the first limiting post 305 and the second limiting post 306 are different, the dimensions of the compression spring 307 installed on the bottom surface of the first limiting post 305 and the second limiting post 306 are also different.

[0037] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Two pre-reserved slots 308 are provided on both sides of the outer surface of the U-shaped base 1. A sliding handle 309 is installed on the inner wall of each pre-reserved slot 308. The four handles 309 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the two first limiting posts 305 and the two second limiting posts 306 respectively. By setting the pre-reserved slots 308 and handles 309, the position of the first limiting post 305 or the second limiting post 306 can be moved conveniently, so as to facilitate the subsequent removal of the baffle plate 2 from the U-shaped base 1. The bottom of each convex block 301 near the second limiting hole 303 is blunted. When the convex block 301 slides in the inner wall of the concave groove 304, the blunting of one end of the convex block 301 can smoothly press down the first limiting post 305 and the second limiting post 306, so as to more conveniently snap the baffle plate 2 into the inside of the U-shaped base 1.

[0038] It should be noted that when the baffle plate 2 slides into the end of the concave groove 304 through the convex block 301, the position of the second limiting hole 303 corresponds to the position of the second limiting post 306, and the position of the first limiting hole 302 corresponds to the position of the first limiting post 305.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 One end of the U-shaped base 1 is hinged to an iron plate 4 via a pin. Two symmetrical magnet blocks 5 are installed on the end of the U-shaped base 1 near the iron plate 4. Both magnet blocks 5 are magnetically connected to the iron plate 4. By setting the iron plate 4 and magnet blocks 5, the opening end of the U-shaped base 1 can be sealed after the baffle plate 2 is engaged in the U-shaped base 1, so that the baffle plate 2 can be more stably engaged in the U-shaped base 1. Rubber side pads 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped base 1, and rubber bottom pads 7 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the U-shaped base 1. By setting the rubber bottom pads 7, the noise and wear caused by the vibration of the baffle plate 2 can be reduced during the operation of the conveyor belt. Mounting seats 8 are installed at the four corners of the U-shaped base 1. Each mounting seat 8 has a mounting bolt 9 threadedly connected to its inner wall. By setting the mounting seats 8 and mounting bolts 9, the U-shaped base 1 can be easily installed above the conveyor belt for convenient use.

[0040] In this embodiment, a quick-release clamping device for the baffle plate of the conveyor belt guide trough can conveniently clamp the baffle plate 2 into the U-shaped base 1 through the clamping mechanism 3, so that the baffle plate 2 can be quickly replaced without the need for other additional tools. At the same time, it can also reduce the probability of surface damage to the baffle plate 2 caused by frequent screw removal and installation, reduce equipment maintenance costs, and the sliding clamping method can also reduce the difficulty of manual operation and optimize the process of disassembling and assembling the baffle plate 2.

[0041] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: The U-shaped base 1 is installed on the conveyor belt, and then the baffle plate 2 can be snapped into the inside of the U-shaped base 1. When snapping the baffle plate 2, the convex block 301 with the passivated end can be inserted into the concave groove 304. During the insertion of the convex block 301, the bottom surface of the convex block 301 will sequentially contact the first limiting post 305 and the second limiting post 306. In this process, the convex block 301 will first press down on the first limiting post 305, and then press down on the second limiting post 306, thereby compressing the corresponding compression spring 307. When the convex block 301 is inserted to the end of the concave groove 304, the first limiting post 305 and the second limiting post 306 will be reset by the elastic force generated by the compression of the corresponding compression spring 307, thereby causing the first limiting post 305 and the second limiting post 306 to spring into the first limiting hole respectively. In holes 302 and 303, the baffle plate 2 is snapped into the U-shaped base 1. Then, the iron plate 4 is rotated upwards, causing the magnet 5 to magnetically attract the iron plate 4, thus sealing the U-shaped base 1. When removing the baffle plate 2, the iron plate 4 is rotated downwards, causing the magnet 5 to stop magnetically attracting the iron plate 4, thus leaving one end of the U-shaped base 1 open. Then, the four handles 309 are pressed downwards, causing the two first limiting posts 305 and the two second limiting posts 306 to move out of the corresponding first limiting holes 302 and second limiting holes 303, releasing the limiting effect on the convex blocks 301 on both sides of the baffle plate 2. Finally, the baffle plate 2 can be pulled out from the U-shaped base 1. Therefore, when disassembling and assembling the baffle plate 2, no additional tools are needed, optimizing the disassembly and assembly process of the baffle plate 2 and improving the practicality of the device.
