Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and relates to conveyor belts, and more particularly to an improved structure of the tail pulley of a paint line conveyor belt. Background Technology
[0002] The tail pulley structures of all conveyor equipment on a multi-layer solid wood flooring painting production line are basically the same, consisting of rollers, bushings, bearings, retaining rings, and shafts. The bushings and roller bodies are welded together to form a single unit, and then machined to achieve the required shape and concentricity. In actual use, the high tension of the conveyor belt exerts significant pressure on the tail pulley bearings. This can easily cause loosening of the fit between the bearing outer ring and the bushing inner hole. Loosening leads to frictional noise and accelerated wear, ultimately causing the tail pulley to malfunction.
[0003] Conveyor belt equipment constitutes a significant portion of floor paint production lines, and repairing a failed tail pulley typically requires replacing the entire tail pulley assembly. Because the tail pulley comprises rollers, bushings, bearings, shafts, and other components, its complex structure makes complete replacement problematic. This presents several significant drawbacks: 1) Long repair time: The entire tail pulley needs to be disassembled, and waiting for external suppliers to process or provide a new one is required. 2) High repair costs: Replacing the entire tail pulley is significantly more expensive than replacing only critical wear parts (such as bushings or shafts). 3) High spare parts inventory pressure: A certain number of complete tail pulleys need to be stockpiled as spare parts, tying up capital and storage space. 4) Cumulative error risk: Repeated disassembly and reassembly of the entire tail pulley can lead to wear on the equipment's mounting reference surface or a decrease in positioning accuracy, resulting in cumulative errors. These issues severely impact the output, quality, and operating costs of floor paint production lines. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the problems of complex tail pulley structure and high maintenance cost in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to disclose an improved structure of the tail pulley of the paint line conveyor belt.
[0005] Technical solution
[0006] An improved structure for the tail pulley of a paint production line conveyor includes a roller, a bushing, a bearing, a shaft, and a retaining ring. The roller has base rings fixedly mounted on its inner walls at both ends. The bushing is detachably fixed to the base rings using fasteners. The outer wall of the bushing is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the roller. At least one disassembly threaded hole is provided on the end face of the bushing, allowing a bolt to be screwed in during disassembly. The bolt pushes against the end face of the base ring, ejecting the bushing from the roller. The retaining ring is mounted on the shaft, located on one side of the inner ring of the bearing.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the roller is a seamless steel pipe.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the base ring is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the roller.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fastener is a bolt, and more specifically, the bolt is an internal hex bolt.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the base ring is provided with a plurality of fixed threaded holes, and the bushing is provided with a corresponding through hole. The fastener passes through the through hole on the bushing and is screwed into the fixed threaded hole of the base ring to fix the two together.
[0011] Bolts resist circumferential rotational forces or minute axial displacements that may occur during the operation of the bushing.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the number of the fixed threaded holes on the base ring and the number of through holes on the bushing are four, which are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the number of disassembly threaded holes is two, symmetrically arranged on the end face of the bushing.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the interference fit is 0.02mm-0.05mm to ensure assembly concentricity and provide initial positioning.
[0015] The key to improving the structure is to fix base rings on the inner walls of both ends of the roller, and to detachably fix the bushings to the base rings with bolts, and to provide disassembly threaded holes on the end face of the bushings.
[0016] In use, the rough-machined blank of the base ring is first placed in the designated position on the seamless steel pipe roller and welded to form a whole. Then, it is precision-machined to meet the specified technical requirements. The bushing is then pressed into the roller using hexagonal socket head cap screws. There is a slight interference fit between the bushing and the roller, which effectively ensures the concentricity of the inner hole of the bushing and the two ends of the roller after press-fitting. When wear and loosening occur at the bearing and bushing mating position, the bushing can be pushed out with bolts using the pre-set disassembly threaded hole on the end face of the bushing for replacement. There is no need to replace the entire tail pulley, nor is it necessary to keep a certain number of tail pulleys on hand, thus saving inventory.
[0017] Beneficial effects
[0018] The improved structure of the tail pulley for the paint line conveyor belt disclosed in this utility model has good overall integrity, simple structure, no safety risks, is easy to process and form, adapts to the requirements of high-speed operation of conveyor belt equipment, and the structure meets the mechanical performance requirements such as load-bearing capacity and rigidity, thus overcoming the defects of the original tail pulley structure.
