[0003] Existing belt conveyors require no-load startup, especially in emergency shutdown situations, where the material on the belt needs to be cleared before starting.

[0004] Therefore, a flexible starting and speed regulation device for belt conveyors is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a belt conveyor with flexible starting speed regulation device under load, which can realize the starting of the conveyor under load.

[0006] This utility model provides a flexible starting and speed regulation device for belt conveyors, including a power motor, with the end of the power motor and the gearbox fixedly connected. An output shaft is provided at the end of the gearbox away from the power motor, an oil tank is provided on the upper side of the gearbox, and a regulating valve is provided at the lower end of the gearbox.

[0007] Furthermore, the transmission includes a first housing, a partition, and a second housing that are bolted together in sequence.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model provides a flexible starting speed regulation device for a belt conveyor, including a power motor 1, with the end of the power motor 1 and a gearbox 2 fixedly connected. An output shaft 24 is provided at the end of the gearbox 2 away from the power motor 1. The output shaft 24 is connected to the drum of the conveyor and is used to drive the drum to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt to rotate. An oil tank 4 is provided on the upper side of the gearbox 2, and a regulating valve 3 is provided at the lower end of the gearbox 2.

[0030] The oil tank 4 is used to store oil, which serves as the power transmission medium to realize the power transmission between the power motor 1 and the output shaft 24. The regulating valve 3 is used to regulate the flow rate of the oil to realize the speed change of the output shaft 24.

[0031] See Figure 2 and Figure 5 The transmission 2 includes a first housing 21, a partition 22, and a second housing 23 that are bolted together in sequence. The partition 22 and the first housing 21 form a first sealed cavity, and the partition 22 and the second housing 23 form a second sealed cavity. Two meshing first gears 213 and second gears 214 are rotatably disposed inside the first housing 21. The second gears 214 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the power motor 1.

[0032] The second housing 23 contains two meshing third gears 233 and fourth gears 234, with the third gear 233 coaxially and fixedly connected to the output shaft 24.

[0033] The rotation of the power motor 1 drives the first gear 213 and the second gear 214 to rotate, which in turn drives the oil to flow into the second housing 23. The oil drives the third gear 233 and the fourth gear 234 inside the second housing 23 to rotate. The third gear 233 outputs power through the output shaft 24.

[0034] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first housing 21 has a first oil inlet 211 on its upper side and a first oil outlet 212 on its lower side; the partition 22 has a second oil outlet 221 and a second oil inlet 222 that are interconnected on its upper and lower sides; the second housing 23 has a third oil outlet 231 and a third oil inlet 232 on its upper and lower sides.

[0035] The first oil inlet 211, the second oil outlet 221, and the third oil outlet 231 are all connected to the oil tank 4.

[0036] During operation, the first gear 213 and the second gear 214 inside the first housing 21 drive the oil from the oil tank 4 through the first oil inlet 211 into the first housing 21, and out through the first oil outlet 212. After being regulated by the regulating valve 3, when the oil enters the oil tank 4 through the second oil inlet 222 and the second oil outlet 221 of the partition 22, it does not pass through the second housing 23 and does not drive the third gear 233 and the fourth gear 234 inside the second housing 23 to rotate, so the output shaft 24 has no power output.

[0037] When the oil enters the second housing 23 through the third inlet 232 and flows into the oil tank 4 through the third outlet 231, it drives the third gear 233 and the fourth gear 234 inside the second housing 23 to rotate. The third gear 233 drives the output shaft 24 to rotate, thereby realizing power output.

[0038] See Figures 6-8 The regulating valve 3 includes a valve housing 31, and a fourth oil inlet 311, a fourth oil outlet 312 and a fifth oil outlet 313 that are interconnected. The fourth oil inlet 311 is connected to the first oil outlet 212, the fourth oil outlet 312 is connected to the second oil inlet 222, and the fifth oil outlet 313 is connected to the third oil inlet 232.

[0039] A valve core 33 is installed inside the fourth oil outlet 312. The valve core 33 controls the opening and closing of the fourth oil outlet 312, thereby controlling whether the oil flows out from the fourth oil outlet 312 or the fifth oil outlet 313 after entering from the fourth oil inlet 311. When the fourth oil outlet 312 is in the connected state, the oil flows from the fourth oil outlet 312 into the baffle 22 and then flows back into the oil tank 4, realizing oil circulation.

[0040] When the fourth oil outlet 312 is disconnected, the oil flows into the second housing 23 through the fifth oil outlet 313 and into the oil tank 4 through the third oil outlet 231. During this process, the third gear 233 and the fourth gear 234 in the second housing 23 will rotate, thereby achieving power output.

[0041] See Figure 7 A servo motor 32 is mounted on the side of the valve housing 31. A worm gear 321 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the servo motor 32. The worm gear 321 meshes with a worm wheel 322, which is coaxially fixedly connected to a lead screw 323. The lead screw 323 is threadedly connected to the valve core 33, which is slidably connected inside the valve housing 31. The valve core 33 and the fourth oil outlet 312 are arranged perpendicularly to each other. The rotation of the lead screw 323 drives the valve core 33 to move within the valve housing 31, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the fourth oil outlet 312.

[0042] The valve core 33 includes a blocking part 331 and a flow part 332. Both the blocking part 331 and the flow part 332 are cylindrical, and the diameter of the flow part 332 is smaller than the diameter of the blocking part 331.

[0043] During operation, when the power motor 1 rotates, the valve core 33 controls the fourth oil outlet 312 to be in a connected state, and the oil flows into the oil tank 4 through the partition 22. At this time, the third gear 233 and the output shaft 24 in the second housing 23 are in a connected load state, and the output shaft 24 does not rotate.

[0044] After the power motor 1 starts, the servo motor 32 controls the worm 321, worm wheel 322 and lead screw 323 to rotate. The lead screw 323 drives the valve core 33 to move. The valve core 33 gradually disconnects the fourth oil outlet 312. The oil gradually flows into the oil tank 4 through the second housing 23. The oil gradually drives the third gear 233 and the fourth gear 234 to rotate, driving the output shaft 24 to output power.

[0045] Since oil is used as the power transmission medium, its transmission is not a rigid connection, realizing the slow output of power. At the same time, the power is steplessly regulated through the valve core 33, enabling the power motor 1 to start under load.

[0046] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
