Background Technology

[0002] In material conveying systems in coal mines, power plants, and other fields, belt conveyors are one of the core pieces of equipment. In existing technologies, when coal falls onto the belt through the chutes, if the point of contact deviates from the belt's centerline, it leads to uneven stress on both sides of the belt, causing belt misalignment. Belt misalignment not only exacerbates equipment wear and increases maintenance costs but can also cause material spillage and even safety accidents. Although existing technologies use self-aligning idlers or correction devices for adjustment, these methods are mostly passive adjustments and cannot fundamentally solve the problem of misalignment at the coal drop point. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can actively guide coal to the center of the belt. Utility Model Content

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit its scope.

[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figure 1-3As shown in Figure 7, a coal drop point center aligner includes: a coal drop baffle, two of which are disposed on opposite side walls of a coal drop square tube. The two coal drop baffles gradually narrow the channel in the coal drop square tube, guiding the falling coal to the center of the conveyor belt below the coal drop square tube. The coal drop baffle includes: a guide plate 1, two of which are symmetrically disposed on the tube wall of the coal drop square tube. The two guide plates 1 gradually decrease from the side closer to the tube wall to the side farther away from the tube wall, and the adjacent parts of the two guide plates 1 gradually decrease towards the distance from the adjacent parts.

[0038] The two guide plates 1 in the coal falling baffle are fixed together. The coal falling baffle is installed on the pipe wall of the coal falling square tube by a fixed bracket 2. The structure with the higher middle part of the two guide plates 1 can divide the falling coal into front and back and place it for accumulation. The two symmetrically arranged coal falling baffles are arranged around the circumference of the coal falling square tube outlet to form a gradually narrowing channel and guide the coal flow to converge towards the center.

[0039] The deflector plate 1 is a flat plate structure, such as a triangular or trapezoidal flat plate structure.

[0040] The guide plate 1 is also equipped with a wear-resistant liner, which is embedded in the surface of the guide plate 1 and is made of high-hardness alloy material to reduce the erosion and wear of the coal flow and extend its service life.

[0041] The fixed bracket 2 and the two guide plates 1 form a triangular prism structure to improve stability.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] like Figure 4-6 As shown in Figure 7, a coal drop point center aligner includes: a coal drop baffle, two of which are disposed on opposite side walls of a coal drop square tube. The two coal drop baffles gradually narrow the channel in the coal drop square tube, guiding the falling coal to the center of the conveyor belt below the coal drop square tube. The coal drop baffle includes: a guide plate 1, two of which are symmetrically disposed on the tube wall of the coal drop square tube. The two guide plates 1 gradually decrease from the side closer to the tube wall to the side farther away from the tube wall, and the adjacent parts of the two guide plates 1 gradually decrease towards the distance from the adjacent parts.

[0044] The two guide plates 1 in the coal drop baffle are movable structures, that is, the adjacent sides of the two guide plates 1 are hinged together. They can be hinged by hinges or pins to ensure that the two guide plates 1 can swing along adjacent positions.

[0045] The coal drop baffle is installed in the coal drop square tube by adjusting the bracket. The angle of the two guide plates 1 in the coal drop baffle is adjusted by adjusting the bracket to adjust the coal drop guide range and speed.

[0046] The adjusting support includes: a fixed support 2, a screw mechanism 3, and adjusting rods 4. The fixed support 2 is installed on the coal chute, and the screw mechanism 3 is installed on the fixed support 2. The screw structure includes a screw and a nut installed on the screw. Both ends of the screw are installed on the fixed support 2 through bearing seats, and one end of the screw extends out of the coal chute, allowing the screw to be rotated outside the coal chute. The two ends of the multiple adjusting rods 4 are respectively hinged to the adjusting nut of the screw mechanism 3 and the back of the guide plate 1. By rotating the adjusting screw, the inclination of the guide plate 1 is adjusted. The guide plate 1 is placed on the side wall of the coal chute, close to the side of the coal chute, and placed on the fixed support 2 below the connection position between the guide plate 1 and the adjusting rods 4 to ensure the stability of the guide plate 1 structure.

[0047] The deflector plate 1 is a flat plate or an arc-shaped structure; the flat plate structure is such as a triangular or trapezoidal flat plate structure, and the arc-shaped structure is such as a triangular or trapezoidal arc plate or a fan-shaped plate structure.

[0048] The guide plate 1 is also equipped with a wear-resistant liner, which is embedded in the surface of the guide plate 1 and is made of high-hardness alloy material to reduce the erosion and wear of the coal flow and extend its service life.

[0049] This adjustable bracket is used to dynamically adjust the tilt angle of the guide plate 1 to adapt to different coal flow rates and coal drop pipe sizes.

[0050] The two fixed supports 2 in the same coal drop point center aligner can be installed together to improve the overall stress of the coal drop point center aligner.

[0051] Fixed bracket 2 is a triangular prism structure bracket, which improves stability.

[0052] Example 3

[0053] like Figure 8-10 As shown in Figure 14, based on Example 1, the two fixed supports 2 in the same coal drop point center aligner can be installed together, improving the overall stress of the coal drop point center aligner.

[0054] Example 4

[0055] like Figure 11-14 As shown, based on Example 2, the two fixed supports 2 in the same coal drop point center aligner can be installed together to improve the overall stress of the coal drop point center aligner.

[0056] The fixed bracket 2 makes the axis of symmetry of the guide plate 1 perpendicular to the center line of the belt.

[0057] In Examples 2 and 4, the angle of the guide plate 1 is calibrated by adjusting the nut in the screw mechanism 3 to ensure the coal flow convergence effect. When the coal flow rate increases, the tilt angle of the guide plate 1 can be appropriately increased to enhance the guiding effect of the coal flow. The adjustment mechanism can finely adjust the angle of the guide plate 1 according to the actual working conditions to ensure the stable centering effect of the coal flow.

[0058] In examples 1-4 above, the coal was directly installed into the existing coal chute, which required long downtime and on-site construction each time. Therefore, an improvement was made by adding a flanged coal chute 5, such as... Figure 14-18 As shown, the two coal-falling baffles are set on the two opposite side walls of the flange-type coal-falling square tube 5 to form a whole. During construction, the flange-type coal-falling square tube 5 with the coal-falling baffles can be directly installed at the coal-falling square tube. This installation and replacement is more convenient.

[0059] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
