Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material transportation, and in particular to a low rolling resistance idler for a corridor belt conveyor. Background Technology
[0002] When transporting materials inside a conveyor belt, idlers are a common component used to support the bottom of the conveyor belt. The material is transferred by the movement of the conveyor belt. Idler rollers are generally arranged in a V-shape. However, in actual use, solid impurities easily adhere to the surface of the idler rollers on both sides. Although they can still slide, the presence of solid foreign objects will affect the conveyor belt. Existing equipment does not have a removal mechanism, so the idler rollers need to be disassembled and cleaned, which greatly delays work efficiency. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a low rolling resistance idler roller for a conveyor belt conveyor is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, the main purpose of this utility model is to provide a low rolling resistance idler for a corridor belt conveyor. When the inclined idler rotates, the moving rejection component can automatically remove impurities from the surface of the inclined idler, achieving cleaning without stopping the machine, without disassembly, and ensuring work efficiency.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a low rolling resistance idler for a corridor belt conveyor, comprising a transverse bar and an inclined bar;
[0005] The horizontal bar has vertically connected connecting plates fixed to the outer sides at both ends. The connecting plates have horizontally set horizontal rollers and inclined rollers set inside. The other end of the inclined rollers is equipped with a support rod.
[0006] The two ends of the transverse rod are also fixedly connected to inclined rods. The inclined rods have grooves inside, and the grooves have inclined guide grooves inside. The guide grooves have removal parts for removing impurities from the surface of the inclined roller.
[0007] Furthermore, the guide groove is set at an angle.
[0008] Furthermore, the rejection component includes a sliding rod, a sliding shaft, and a rejection head. The sliding rod is fixedly connected to two sides with symmetrically arranged sliding shafts. The outer side of the sliding shaft is slidably connected to the inclined rod through a guide groove. The rejection head is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding rod facing the inclined roller.
[0009] Furthermore, the other end of the rejection head is curved, and one side of the rejection head is pointed.
[0010] Furthermore, the inclined idler roller is arranged in a frustum shape.
[0011] When transporting materials inside a conveyor belt, idlers are a common component used to support the bottom of the conveyor belt. The material is transferred by the movement of the conveyor belt. Idler rollers are generally arranged in a V-shape. In actual use, solid impurities easily adhere to the surface of the idler rollers on both sides. Although they can slide, the presence of solid foreign objects will affect the conveyor belt. Existing equipment does not have a rejection mechanism, so the idler rollers need to be disassembled for cleaning, which greatly delays work efficiency. Inside the tilting rod, there is a sliding rejection component. By manually moving the sliding rod, the sliding shaft on the outside of the sliding rod moves under the guidance of the guide groove. At this time, the rejection head on one side of the sliding rod can contact the surface of the tilting idler roller. When the tilting idler roller rotates, it can automatically remove impurities from the surface of the tilting idler roller, achieving cleaning without stopping the machine, without disassembly, and ensuring work efficiency.
[0012] Furthermore, the removal head can remove impurities from the surface of the inclined roller little by little, reducing the contact area and resistance, thus ensuring the quality of removal.
[0013] Furthermore, the horizontal idler includes an idler body, with multiple grooved rings on the outer side of the idler body, threaded holes on the inner side of the grooved rings, and multiple arc-shaped friction blocks installed inside the grooved rings. Each friction block has a countersunk hole inside, and screws are spirally connected to the threaded holes through the countersunk holes.
[0014] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is installed inside the countersunk hole.
[0015] Multiple friction blocks are installed on the surface of the idler body. The friction blocks are fixed inside the idler body with screws, and a sealing gasket is installed inside the countersunk hole. The friction blocks are designed to increase friction when in contact with the conveyor belt, ensuring stable rotation of the idler body. The separate friction blocks are also easy to replace.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] Inside the tilting rod is a sliding rejection component. By manually moving the sliding rod, the sliding shaft on the outside of the sliding rod moves under the guidance of the guide groove. At this time, the rejection head on one side of the sliding rod can contact the surface of the tilting roller. When the tilting roller rotates, it can automatically remove impurities from the surface of the tilting roller, achieving cleaning without stopping the machine, without disassembly, and ensuring work efficiency.
[0018] Furthermore, the removal head can remove impurities from the surface of the inclined roller little by little, reducing the contact area and resistance, thus ensuring the quality of removal.
[0019] Multiple friction blocks are installed on the surface of the idler body. The friction blocks are fixed inside the idler body with screws, and a sealing gasket is installed inside the countersunk hole. The friction blocks are designed to increase friction when in contact with the conveyor belt, ensuring stable rotation of the idler body. The separate friction blocks are also easy to replace.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.
[0026] Example
[0027] A low rolling resistance idler for a corridor belt conveyor, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a horizontal bar 1 and an inclined bar 2;
[0028] A vertically arranged connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the outer sides of both ends of the horizontal rod 1. A horizontally arranged horizontal roller 7 and an inclined roller 5 are arranged inside the connecting plate 6. A support rod 4 is installed at the other end of the inclined roller 5.
[0029] The two ends of the transverse rod 1 are also fixedly connected to inclined rods 2. The inclined rod 2 has a sliding groove 8 inside, and the sliding groove 8 has an inclined guide groove 9 inside. The guide groove 9 has a removal part 3 for removing impurities from the surface of the inclined roller 5.
[0030] The guide groove 9 is set at an angle.
[0031] The rejection component 3 includes a sliding rod 301, a sliding shaft 302, and a rejection head 303. The sliding rod 301 is fixedly connected to the two sides of the sliding shaft 302, which are symmetrically arranged. The outer side of the sliding shaft 302 is slidably connected to the inclined rod 2 through the guide groove 9. The rejection head 303 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding rod 301 facing the inclined roller 5.
[0032] The other end of the removal head 303 is curved, and one side of the removal head 303 is pointed.
[0033] The inclined roller 5 is arranged in a frustum shape.
[0034] When transporting materials inside a corridor, idlers are a common component used to support the bottom of the conveyor belt. The material is transferred by the movement of the conveyor belt. Idler rollers are generally arranged in a V-shape. In actual use, solid impurities easily adhere to the surface of the idler rollers on both sides. Although they can slide, the presence of solid foreign objects will affect the conveyor belt. Existing equipment does not have a rejection mechanism, so the idler rollers need to be disassembled for cleaning, which greatly delays work efficiency. Inside the inclined rod 2, there is a sliding rejection part 3. By manually moving the sliding rod 301, the sliding shaft 302 on the outside of the sliding rod 301 moves under the guidance of the guide groove 9. At this time, the rejection head 303 on one side of the sliding rod 301 can contact the surface of the inclined idler roller 5. When the inclined idler roller 5 rotates, the impurities on the surface of the inclined idler roller 5 can be automatically removed, achieving cleaning without stopping the machine, without disassembly, and ensuring work efficiency.
[0035] Furthermore, the removal head 303 is designed to remove impurities from the surface of the inclined roller 5 bit by bit. By reducing the contact area and resistance, the removal quality is ensured. The removal head 303 is set with an arc surface facing the side of the inclined roller 5, which ensures contact with the frustum-shaped inclined roller 5 for impurity removal. The sliding shaft 302 cooperates with the inclined guide groove 9, which allows the removal head 303 to contact one side of the inclined roller 5 when moving, ensuring stable removal of impurities.
[0036] The horizontal idler roller 7 includes an idler roller body 701. Multiple grooved rings 702 are provided on the outer side of the idler roller body 701. Threaded holes 704 are provided on the inner side of the grooved rings 702. Multiple arc-shaped friction blocks 703 are also installed inside the grooved rings 702. Each friction block 703 has a countersunk hole 705 inside. Screws are spirally connected to the threaded holes 704 through the countersunk holes 705.
[0037] A sealing gasket 706 is also installed inside the countersunk hole 705.
[0038] Multiple friction blocks 703 are installed on the surface of the idler body 701. The friction blocks 703 are fixed inside the idler body 701 by screws, and a sealing gasket 706 is installed inside the countersunk hole 705. The setting of the friction blocks 703 ensures increased friction when in contact with the conveyor belt, ensuring stable rotation of the idler body 701. The separate friction blocks 703 are easy to replace.
[0039] Four friction blocks 703 form a ring and are set inside the grooved ring 702. The screw is set inside the countersunk hole 705 to prevent the screw from protruding and causing wear to the conveyor belt. The sealing gasket 706 is set to prevent dust and impurities from entering the countersunk hole 705.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
