[0019] by Figure 3 Define the up, down, left, right, front, and back directions in this embodiment.

[0020] As shown in the figure, this embodiment includes connectors disposed at both ends of the conveyor belt 11, connecting the two ends of the conveyor belt 11. The connectors include a first connector 1 and a second connector 2. The first connector 1 is disposed at the first end of the conveyor belt 11. A mounting groove 3 extending along the width direction of the conveyor belt 11 is provided on the connecting end face of its right end. The mounting groove 3 has an opening on one side near the connecting end face of the first connector 1, and its front end is open while its rear end is closed along the width direction of the conveyor belt 11. When it cooperates with the second connector 2, the closed structure at the rear end of the mounting groove 3 can block and limit the structure on the second connector 2 that cooperates with the mounting groove 3. The height of the bottom portion of the mounting groove 3 along the width direction of the conveyor belt 11 is greater than its opening height on the connecting end face. In this embodiment, the mounting groove 3 is designed as a T-shaped groove. During use, the higher design of the bottom portion of the mounting groove 3 can improve its ability to withstand forces along the length direction of the conveyor belt 11. The left end of the first connector 1 is provided with a first mounting groove 4 for the conveyor belt 11. The first mounting groove 4 includes a first input section, which is straight and located on the left side of the first mounting groove 4. The size of the input section matches the size of the conveyor belt 11 and is used to place the conveyor belt 11. The right side of the first mounting groove 4 is provided with a first connecting section, which communicates with the first input section and is shaped to bend upwards. After the conveyor belt 11 enters the first connecting section through the first input section, the end that enters will bend upwards along the first connecting section. The first connecting section is located on the left side of the mounting groove 3. At the bottom of the mounting groove 3, a set of threaded holes 5 are provided along the width direction of the conveyor belt. In this embodiment, four threaded holes 5 are provided. Each threaded hole 5 is a countersunk hole structure and communicates with the first connecting section. A bolt 6 is screwed into each threaded hole 5. After the bolt 6 is installed, the inner end of each bolt 6 presses tightly against the upwardly bent conveyor belt 11 inside the first connecting section, pressing and fixing the conveyor belt 11. In this embodiment, the threaded end of the bolt 6 is defined as the inner end of the bolt 6.

[0021] The second connector 2 is disposed on the second end of the conveyor belt 11. A connecting strip 8, which mates with the mounting groove 3 and connects the first connector 1 and the second connector 2, is provided on the connecting end face of its left end. In this embodiment, the connecting strip 8 matches the shape of the mounting groove 3 and is configured as a T-shaped block structure. During installation, it slides backward along the opening at the front end of the mounting groove 3 into the mounting groove 3. The size of the connecting strip 8 is smaller than the mounting groove 3. After being inserted into the mounting groove 3, a gap remains between the connecting strip 8 and the mounting groove 3. During the operation of the conveyor belt 11, when the first and second connectors pass over the roller structure driving the conveyor belt 11, sufficient space for movement is maintained through the gap between the connecting strip 8 and the mounting groove 3, preventing damage to the connection point of the first and second connectors due to the squeezing of the rollers. The right end of the second connector 2 is provided with a second mounting groove 7 for the conveyor belt.

[0022] The second mounting groove 7 includes a second input section, which is straight and located on the right side of the second mounting groove 7. Its dimensions match those of the conveyor belt 11, and it is used to hold the conveyor belt 11. A second connecting section is located on the left side of the second mounting groove 7, communicating with the second input section. The connecting section is upwardly bent; after the conveyor belt 11 enters the second connecting section through the second input section, its inlet end bends upward along the connecting section. The second connecting section is located on the right side of the connecting bar 8. A set of stepped holes 9 is provided at the left end of the connecting bar 8 along its width direction. In this embodiment, four stepped holes 9 are provided, each communicating with the second connecting section. The section adjacent to the second connecting section of the stepped hole 9 is a threaded hole. Bolts 6 are screwed into the stepped holes 9. After the bolts 6 are installed, the inner end of each bolt 6 presses tightly against the upwardly bent conveyor belt 11 within the second connecting section, securing the conveyor belt 11. The bolt head is located in the stepped hole 9, avoiding interference with the fit between the mounting groove 3 and the connecting platform 8.

[0023] In this embodiment, magnets 10 are provided on the connecting end faces of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2. The magnet 10 on the first connector 1 is embedded in the bottom of the mounting groove 3, and the magnet 10 on the second connector 2 is embedded in the left end face of the connecting strip 8. The two magnets are positioned correspondingly and attract each other. After the connecting strip 8 is installed into the mounting groove 3, the magnets 10 attract each other, which helps to fix the connectors and prevents them from slipping. Each magnet 10 is located between the threaded holes on the two connectors to avoid obstructing the installation of the bolts 6.

[0024] The upper surfaces of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are inclined near the conveyor belt 11. The inclined surface gradually thins from the side near the connecting end face to the side near the conveyor belt 11, so that the upper surfaces of the first and second connectors smoothly transition to the conveyor belt 11, and avoids the first and second connectors from obstructing the conveyor belt 11 from conveying materials during use.

[0025] As shown in the figure, the conveyor belt 11 is the upper conveyor belt, and the lower ends of the first and second connecting parts are close to the roller structure of the drive conveyor belt 11.

[0026] In this embodiment, during use, firstly, both ends of the conveyor belt 11 are inserted into the first mounting groove 4 and the second mounting groove 7, respectively. The mounting bolts 6 are used to secure the conveyor belt 11. After installation, the conveyor belt 11 is placed on the conveyor belt drive device. The connecting strip 8 is slidably inserted into the mounting groove 3. After insertion, the two magnets 10 attract each other, assisting in securing the two connecting parts. When the conveyor belt 11 needs to be replaced, the connecting strip 8 is slid off, the bolt 6 is unscrewed, and a new conveyor belt 11 is installed. Repeating the above steps to install a new conveyor belt 11 completes the replacement of the conveyor belt 11.

[0027] This embodiment can also be used to connect multiple conveyor belts 11. Example 2

[0028] This embodiment is basically the same as the structure of embodiment 1. The difference is that the mounting groove 3 adopts a wedge-shaped groove structure and the connecting strip 8 is set as a wedge-shaped protrusion to match it. In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the upper and lower inclined surfaces of the connecting strip 8 is smaller than the inclination angle of the upper and lower inclined surfaces of the mounting groove 3, which increases the range of vertical bending at the connection of the first and second connecting parts. This embodiment is suitable for the roller structure of the drive conveyor belt 11 with a smaller size.
