[0022] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0023] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this utility model discloses a recirculating hydraulic combined cleaner for belt conveyors, including a redirecting idler 2, a cleaning water tank 6, a cleaning agent spraying mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, and a drying mechanism, all disposed on the return path of the belt conveyor. The redirecting idler is positioned at a height lower than a preset height on the return path of the belt conveyor. The cleaning agent spraying mechanism sprays cleaning agent onto the redirected conveyor belt. The cleaning water tank stores a preset height of cleaning agent, allowing the redirected conveyor belt to contact the cleaning agent in the cleaning water tank. The cleaning mechanism and the drying mechanism are respectively disposed between the redirecting idler and the return roller, and are used to perform surface cleaning and drying of the conveyor belt soaked in cleaning agent, respectively.

[0028] This utility model provides a recyclable hydraulic combined cleaner for belt conveyors. The method adopted effectively solves the above-mentioned problems. By cleaning the belt with this combined cleaning device, the sticky materials adhering to the surface of the belt can be effectively removed, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the conveying equipment, reducing noise, and extending the service life of the belt conveyor.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cleaning agent spraying mechanism is a fan-shaped nozzle 1, the sweeping mechanism includes a sweeping roller brush 3 and a sweeping scraper 4, and the drying mechanism includes a drying device 5.

[0030] Furthermore, the cleaning agent spraying mechanism, the sweeping mechanism, and the drying mechanism are all mounted on the sweeping water tank, and there are two redirecting rollers arranged in parallel, so that the redirected section of the conveyor belt can be evenly immersed in the cleaning agent.

[0031] Furthermore, a drain outlet 7 is provided below the cleaning water tank, and a gate valve 8 is provided on the drain pipe connected to the drain outlet.

[0032] Furthermore, an overflow port is provided on the side of the cleaning water tank, and the overflow port is connected to the sedimentation and sewage circulation water tank 10 through an overflow pipe. A pump 13 is provided at the output end of the sedimentation and sewage circulation water tank, and the output end of the pump is connected to the cleaning agent spraying mechanism through a cleaning agent pipe. In this embodiment, a solenoid valve 14 and a manual valve 15 are provided on the cleaning agent pipe.

[0033] Furthermore, the sedimentation and sewage circulation water tank is equipped with a partition inside, and a liquid level ball valve 12 is installed on the side near the outlet. A water inlet 11 is installed at the top of the sedimentation and sewage circulation water tank. The liquid level ball valve controls whether water needs to be added.

[0034] Furthermore, the cleaning water tank is bolted to the steel structure of the belt conveyor's auxiliary corridor.

[0035] Furthermore, the sedimentation and sewage circulation water tank is placed diagonally below the cleaning water tank and is connected to the steel structure of the belt conveyor's auxiliary corridor by bolting or by making an independent support and connecting it to the ground foundation.

[0036] Furthermore, the bottom of the sedimentation and sewage circulation water tank is provided with a slope structure of a preset arc, and a sewage outlet 17 of the sedimentation and sewage circulation water tank is provided at the bottom of the slope. A gate valve 16 is provided on the sewage pipe connected to the sewage outlet.

[0037] The working principle of this invention is as follows: First, the conveyor belt is cleaned using a fan-shaped nozzle 1. Then, the conveyor belt is pressed into the cleaning agent using a redirecting roller 2. The bending of the conveyor belt causes lumpy adhesive materials to fall into the cleaning agent. Next, the conveyor belt is cleaned using a cleaning roller brush 3 and a cleaning scraper 4. Finally, the conveyor belt is dried using a drying device 5. By combining the properties of the cleaning agent with the performance of mechanical cleaning, the conveyor belt surface is thoroughly cleaned through processes such as soaking, peeling, removal, scraping, and drying.

[0038] The recyclable process of the cleaning agent involves the following steps: Material swept from the cleaning agent in the cleaning tank 6 settles and falls back to the bottom of the cleaning tank 6, where it can be discharged through the drain port 7 and controlled by the gate valve 8. The continuous cleaning of the belt by the fan-shaped nozzles 1 causes the cleaning agent level in the cleaning tank 6 to rise continuously. Therefore, an overflow port 9 is installed at an appropriate location in the cleaning tank 6. Excess cleaning agent flows from the overflow port 9 into the sedimentation and wastewater circulation tank 10. The cleaning agent falling into the sedimentation and wastewater circulation tank 10 from the overflow port 9 is relatively clean, but it still contains some impurities or suspended solids. These impurities or suspended solids can be settled in the sedimentation and wastewater circulation tank 10. The settled sediment can be discharged through the drain port 7 and the gate valve 8 located at the bottom of the sedimentation and wastewater circulation tank 10. The clean cleaning agent is then pumped by the self-priming pump 13 through pipes connected to the solenoid valve 14 and the manual valve 15, finally connecting to the fan-shaped nozzles 1 to clean the conveyor belt and return it to the cleaning tank 6, thus completing the cycle. Additionally, a water inlet 11 and a level ball valve 12 are installed in the sedimentation and sewage circulation water tank 10. This is because when the sediment is discharged from the sewage outlet 7, cleaning agent is also discharged, reducing the total amount of cleaning agent. Therefore, a cleaning agent replenishment point needs to be set up and controlled by the level ball valve 12. When the overall cleaning agent level is too low, the level ball valve 12 will open, and the cleaning agent will be injected into the sedimentation and sewage circulation water tank 10 from the water inlet 11. When the level ball valve 12 rises to a certain position with the liquid level, the level ball valve 12 will close, and the cleaning agent replenishment will stop.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the 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.
