Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of conveyor technology, specifically relating to a wear-resistant ball production conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] The conveyor is a type of plate conveyor, widely used in industries such as mining, metallurgy, and cement. It is an indispensable piece of equipment in raw material handling or continuous production processes, and is particularly suitable for conveying large and sharp materials.

[0003] During the production of wear-resistant balls, after the cast wear-resistant balls are produced, they enter the conveyor. The surface of the cast wear-resistant balls will carry impurities left over from the production process. During the conveying process, some impurities will fall onto the conveyor plate, while some impurities will continue to adhere to the surface of the cast wear-resistant balls. Finally, the impurities and the cast wear-resistant balls enter the conveying terminal for packaging along with the conveyor plate. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wear-resistant ball production conveyor to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a chain conveyor, a chain belt inside the chain conveyor, a traction chain for driving the chain belt inside the chain conveyor, a number of baffles fixedly installed on the chain belt, the chain belt being composed of a number of chain plates, and a cleaning component provided on the chain plates;

[0006] The cleaning assembly includes a connecting rod disposed within a chain plate and several cleaning rollers disposed within the chain plate. The chain plate has several through holes, through which the connecting rod passes in sequence. Each through hole contains a cleaning roller, which is fixedly connected to the connecting rod. Both ends of the connecting rod protrude from the chain plate, and both ends of the connecting rod are fixedly connected to gears. The gears pass into the chain plate conveyor and mesh with the traction chain.

[0007] It should be noted in the solution that the chain plate is also equipped with a scraper assembly;

[0008] The scraper assembly includes a support frame arranged in an inverted U-shape on the chain plate. Several scrapers are provided on the inner wall of the bottom end of the support frame, and each scraper corresponds to a cleaning roller.

[0009] It should be noted in the solution that the chain conveyor is equipped with a receiving plate.

[0010] It should be noted in the solution that the chain conveyor is equipped with a discharge module, which is connected to the receiving plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the wear-resistant ball production conveyor provided by this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0012] (1) Cleaning can be achieved by setting up the cleaning component. The rotation of the connecting rod directly drives all the cleaning rollers on it to rotate together. The rotating cleaning rollers generate a scraping and pushing force on the wear-resistant balls attached to the surface of the chain plate, cleaning the residual wear-resistant balls and making them move forward with the main material flow or fall into the designated collection point. The cleaning component is integrated into a single chain plate, without the need for a complex external drive system. It has a simple structure, reliable operation, and is easy to maintain and replace.

[0013] (2) By setting up the scraper assembly, the scraper assembly will promptly scrape off the wear-resistant balls and dust that the cleaning roller is contaminated or embedded in when scraping the material on the chain plate surface, so that the cleaning roller always keeps clean and has the best cleaning ability, and prevents the cleaning roller from failing due to contamination. This constitutes a self-maintaining closed-loop cleaning system. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4The system includes a chain conveyor 1, a chain belt 2 inside the chain conveyor 1, and a traction chain for driving the chain belt 2 inside the chain conveyor 1. Several baffles 5 are fixedly installed on the chain belt 2, and the chain belt 2 is composed of several chain plates 6. A cleaning component is provided on the chain plate 6. The cleaning component includes a connecting rod 7 disposed in the chain plate 6 and several cleaning rollers 8 disposed in the chain plate 6. Several through holes are provided on the chain plate 6. The connecting rod 7 passes through the through holes in sequence. Each through hole is provided with a cleaning roller 8. The cleaning roller 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 7. Both ends of the connecting rod 7 protrude out of the chain plate 6. Gears 11 are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting rod 7. The gears 11 pass into the chain conveyor 1 and mesh with the traction chain.

[0021] Through the setting of cleaning components, overall structure and working principle, the conveyor for producing wear-resistant balls in this embodiment is the prior art. The conveyor is equipped with a traction chain driven by a drive device (not shown in the figure, such as a motor or reducer). The traction chain drives the chain plate belt to circulate, thereby realizing the conveying of materials.

[0022] The conveyor belt is assembled from several hinged chain plates. The key innovation of this embodiment is that a cleaning component is integrated into each or every chain plate. This cleaning component utilizes the conveyor's own power and requires no additional drive source to clean the surface of the chain plates in real time during the conveying process, effectively solving the problem of easy residue and difficulty in cleaning of grinding ball materials.

[0023] Core Components: The specific structure of the chain plate and cleaning component. Chain Plate 6: The chain plate is made of conventional metal sheet by stamping or casting, but its structure is specially designed. Several through holes are opened on the plate body. The distribution of these through holes can be designed according to the characteristics of the material (such as size, degree of residue), and is usually evenly distributed. Cleaning Component: The cleaning component is the core of this utility model to achieve the self-cleaning function. It is integrated inside a single chain plate and mainly includes the following components: Connecting Rod 7: A rigid rod that penetrates the internal space of the chain plate, with both ends protruding from the side wall of the chain plate. Cleaning Roller 8: Rollers made of wear-resistant and easy-to-clean materials (such as food-grade silicone, polyurethane, or special engineering plastics). The surface of the cleaning roller 8 is provided with several bristles. The number of cleaning rollers is consistent with the number of through holes on the chain plate and is fixedly mounted on the connecting rod. Its installation position ensures that each cleaning roller can protrude slightly from the corresponding through hole on the chain plate or be flush with the surface of the chain plate. Gear 11: Two gears are respectively fixedly connected to the ends of the connecting rods that protrude from both sides of the chain plate.

[0024] In the power transmission and cleaning process, the traction chain is usually a roller chain, and the gap between the rollers on its links naturally forms a meshing. Meshing transmission: After the conveyor is assembled, the gears 11 on both sides of the chain plate will directly penetrate into the frame of the chain plate conveyor and mesh with the traction chain below that supports or drives it.

[0025] Power acquisition: When the traction chain moves under the drive of the drive device, the power is transmitted to the gear 11 through the meshing of the gear 11 and the chain, thereby driving the connecting rod 7 to rotate;

[0026] Cleaning is achieved by rotating the connecting rod 7, which directly drives all the cleaning rollers 8 on it to rotate together. The rotating cleaning rollers 8 exert a scraping and pushing force on the wear-resistant balls attached to the surface of the chain plate 6, cleaning up the residual wear-resistant balls and allowing them to move forward with the main material flow or fall into the designated collection point.

[0027] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1-4 As shown, it is worth noting that the conveyor 1 is equipped with a receiving plate, and the chain conveyor 1 is equipped with a discharge module 3, which is connected to the receiving plate.

[0028] With the setting of the receiving plate, in actual use, the implementation of the receiving and discharging system is as follows: The receiving plate is set inside the frame of the chain conveyor, below the chain belt (usually the lower layer of the horizontal conveying section or the lower layer of the inclined section). The receiving plate is used to receive small particles, dust or debris that are scraped off from the surface of the chain by the cleaning rollers or fall naturally through the gaps in the chain, preventing them from accumulating at the bottom of the machine and keeping the inside of the machine clean.

[0029] Discharge Module 3 and Connection: At the tail end of the chain conveyor or a designated discharge point, a discharge module (e.g., a discharge hopper, chute, or interface connecting to the next piece of equipment) is installed. This discharge module is connected to the outlet of the receiving plate located inside the chassis via a pipe or channel. In this way, the material collected on the receiving plate can be centrally guided to the discharge module for unified discharge, facilitating recycling or centralized processing, and realizing the integration of cleaning and recycling.

[0030] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1-4 As shown, it is worth noting that the chain plate 6 is also provided with a scraper assembly. The scraper assembly includes a support frame 9 arranged in an inverted U-shape on the chain plate 6. Several scrapers 10 are provided on the inner wall of the bottom end of the support frame 9. The scrapers 10 correspond one-to-one with the cleaning rollers 8.

[0031] The scraper assembly is a key component for achieving secondary cleaning and maintaining the cleanliness of the cleaning rollers themselves. The support frame 9, made of metal plate or profile, is in an inverted U-shape, resembling a "door" frame. This support frame is fixedly installed on the chain plate 6 via welding, riveting, or bolting, and is located above the chain plate. Several scrapers 10 are installed on the crossbeam at the bottom inner side of the inverted U-shaped support frame (i.e., the side closest to the chain plate surface). These scrapers 10 are made of elastic and wear-resistant materials (such as polyurethane, rubber, etc.). The scraper assembly is made of materials and its quantity and position correspond one-to-one with the cleaning rollers below. The working process of the scraper assembly is as follows: When the conveyor is running, the connecting rod drives the cleaning rollers 8 to rotate. The blade or edge of each scraper will continuously and slightly scrape the brush on the circumferential surface of its corresponding cleaning roller 8. Its function is to promptly remove the wear-resistant balls and dust that the cleaning rollers 8 are contaminated or embedded in when scraping the material on the chain plate surface, so that the cleaning rollers are always clean and have the best cleaning ability, and to prevent the cleaning rollers from failing due to contamination. This constitutes a self-sustaining closed-loop cleaning system.

[0032] Summary and Benefits

[0033] The conveyor for producing wear-resistant balls provided in this specific embodiment perfectly combines cleaning and conveying functions through ingenious mechanical structure design:

[0034] Automated cleaning: The cleaning rollers are driven by the conveyor's own power to achieve full-process, real-time, and automatic cleaning, which greatly reduces the workload of manual cleaning and maintenance.

[0035] Contamination prevention and purification: Effectively avoids cross-contamination caused by equipment residues from different batches or types of wear-resistant balls, ensuring the purity and quality of the product.

[0036] Material recycling: Through the design of the receiving plate and the discharge module, the cleaned materials are collected and recycled in a centralized manner, reducing material waste and lowering production costs.

[0037] Compact and reliable structure: The cleaning components are integrated into a single chain plate, eliminating the need for a complex external drive system. The structure is simple, the operation is reliable, and it is easy to maintain and replace.
