Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic roller cleaning equipment, and in particular to an automatic roller cleaning device for belt conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] In existing belt conveyor idler cleaning technologies, the height and extension length of many cleaning devices are often fixed and cannot be adjusted according to actual needs. This means that in practical applications, the cleaning devices may not be adaptable to belt conveyors of different heights or idlers of different diameters, thus affecting cleaning effectiveness and efficiency. Furthermore, due to the difficulty of adjustment, users often need to manually disassemble and reinstall the cleaning device when replacing idlers of different specifications or adjusting the conveyor height. This not only increases workload but may also damage the equipment.

[0003] Furthermore, in traditional belt conveyor idler cleaning devices, the guiding and limiting functions are often neglected, leading to problems such as equipment damage, poor cleaning effect, or displacement of the curved plate during the cleaning process. For example, some cleaning devices do not have guiding components, causing the curved plate to easily get stuck or wear during sliding; other cleaning devices, although equipped with limiting mechanisms, have unsatisfactory limiting effects, making them prone to loosening or falling off under vibration or external force. To address these issues, we provide an automatic belt conveyor idler cleaning device. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes an automatic cleaning device for belt conveyor idlers, which more accurately solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] The utility model proposes an automatic cleaning device for belt conveyor idlers, including a first arc-shaped plate. Opening slots are provided at both ends of the first arc-shaped plate. A second arc-shaped plate is inserted into the inner wall of each opening slot. Cleaning bristles are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both the first and second arc-shaped plates for the idlers to rotate and automatically clean. A guide slide assembly connects the opening slots and the second arc-shaped plate. A limit mechanism connects the first and second arc-shaped plates for adjusting the extension length of the second arc-shaped plate. A height adjustment component is connected to the outer wall of the first arc-shaped plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting insertion hole formed on the outer wall of the first arc-shaped plate and an n-shaped frame fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second arc-shaped plate. Both sides of the n-shaped frame are provided with strip-shaped through grooves. A vertical rod is fixedly connected between the two end walls of the strip-shaped through groove. A spring is sleeved around the vertical rod. A movable sleeve block is slidably sleeved around the vertical rod. The movable sleeve block is slidably connected at the inner wall of the strip-shaped through groove. A limiting insertion rod is fixedly connected to the movable sleeve block relative to the surface of the first arc-shaped plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the height adjustment component includes a threaded rod fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first arc-shaped plate, with an internally threaded tube threaded onto the outer periphery of the threaded rod, and a support pad rotatably connected to the lower end of the internally threaded tube via a bearing.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide slide assembly includes guide slide strips fixedly connected to both sides of the second arc-shaped plate and guide slide grooves formed in the inner wall of the opening groove, wherein the guide slide strips are slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide slide groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism also includes an overlap plate fixedly connected between the two movable sleeve blocks, and a pulling rod is inserted at the top of the n-shaped frame, with one end of the pulling rod fixedly connected to the surface of the overlap plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the end of the limiting rod is inserted into the inner wall of the limiting hole, and the inner diameter of the limiting hole is compatible with the outer diameter of the limiting rod.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention, through the design of a height adjustment component, allows users to easily adjust the height of the entire cleaning device to adapt to belt conveyors of different heights or different working environments. At the same time, the limiting mechanism allows users to adjust the extension length of the second arc plate, thereby enabling customized settings according to the diameter of the idler roller or cleaning requirements. This flexibility and adjustability improves the applicability and practicality of the cleaning device, enabling it to work efficiently in various scenarios.

[0014] This invention, through the design of the guide slide assembly, ensures the smooth sliding of the second arc-shaped plate within the opening groove, avoiding equipment damage or poor cleaning effect caused by friction or jamming. Simultaneously, the limiting mechanism, through the cooperation of a spring and a limiting rod, reliably fixes the second arc-shaped plate, preventing displacement or detachment during cleaning due to vibration or external forces. This stable guide slide and limiting function not only improves the safety and stability of the cleaning device but also extends its service life and reduces maintenance and replacement costs.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are merely exemplary and can only be used to explain and illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting the technical solution of this utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the automatic cleaning device for belt conveyor idlers proposed in one embodiment of this utility model mainly consists of a first arc-shaped plate 1. Firstly, openings 2 are formed on the outer periphery of both ends of the first arc-shaped plate 1. These openings 2 are designed for inserting a second arc-shaped plate 3. Cleaning bristles 4 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both the first arc-shaped plate 1 and the second arc-shaped plate 3. These cleaning bristles 4 contact the idler roller when it rotates, thereby achieving automatic cleaning. Furthermore, a guide slide assembly is provided between the openings 2 and the second arc-shaped plate 3 to ensure that the second arc-shaped plate 3 can move smoothly within the openings 2. To adjust the extension length of the second arc-shaped plate 3, a limit mechanism is connected between the first arc-shaped plate 1 and the second arc-shaped plate 3. Finally, a height adjustment component is connected to the outer wall of the first arc-shaped plate 1 to adjust the height of the entire cleaning device. Through the above design, automatic cleaning of the idler roller is achieved, and both the height of the cleaning device and the extension length of the second arc-shaped plate 3 are adjustable, improving cleaning efficiency and flexibility.

[0023] In this application, the limiting mechanism consists of a limiting insertion hole 7 formed on the outer wall of the first arc-shaped plate 1 and an n-shaped frame 8 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second arc-shaped plate 3. Both sides of the n-shaped frame 8 have strip-shaped through grooves 9, and a retaining rod 10 is fixedly connected between the two end walls of the strip-shaped through grooves 9. A spring 11 is sleeved around the retaining rod 10, and a movable sleeve block 12 is slidably sleeved on it. The movable sleeve block 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the strip-shaped through groove 9, and a limiting insertion rod 13 is fixedly connected relative to the surface of the first arc-shaped plate 1.

[0024] When it is necessary to adjust the extension length of the second arc plate 3, the limiting rod 13 can be pulled out of the limiting hole 7 by compressing the spring 11, then the second arc plate 3 can be moved to the desired position, the spring 11 can be released, and the limiting rod 13 can be inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 7 to achieve fixation.

[0025] In this application, the height adjustment component consists of a threaded rod 16 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first arc-shaped plate 1. The outer thread of the threaded rod 16 is threadedly sleeved with an inner threaded tube 17, and the lower end of the inner threaded tube 17 is rotatably connected to a support pad 18 via a bearing.

[0026] The height of the entire cleaning device can be adjusted by rotating the internally threaded tube 17, which changes its relative position to the threaded rod 16. The support block 18 ensures the device is stably placed on the belt conveyor.

[0027] In this application, the guide slide assembly consists of guide slide strips 5 fixedly connected to both sides of the second arc-shaped plate 3 and guide slide grooves 6 formed in the inner wall of the opening groove 2. The guide slide strips 5 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide slide grooves 6.

[0028] The cooperation between the guide strip 5 and the guide groove 6 ensures the smooth sliding of the second arc plate 3 within the opening groove 2, thereby improving the stability and service life of the device.

[0029] In this application, an overlap plate 14 is fixedly connected between two movable sleeve blocks 12, and a pulling rod 15 is inserted at the top of the n-shaped frame 8, with one end of the pulling rod 15 fixedly connected to the surface of the overlap plate 14.

[0030] By pulling the lever 15, the two movable sleeve blocks 12 can be moved simultaneously, thereby compressing or releasing the spring 11, so that the limiting plug 13 can be inserted into or pulled out of the limiting plug hole 7.

[0031] In this application, the end of the limiting rod 13 is inserted into the inner wall of the limiting hole 7, and the inner diameter of the limiting hole 7 is compatible with the outer diameter of the limiting rod 13.

[0032] This design ensures that the limiting rod 13 can be firmly inserted into the limiting socket 7, achieving reliable fixation of the second arc-shaped plate 3. Simultaneously, due to the diameter compatibility, the insertion process is smooth and less likely to damage parts.
