Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rain cover technology, specifically a rain cover for belt conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] Belt conveyors, widely used in mines, ports, factories, and other fields for material handling, offer advantages such as large conveying capacity, long conveying distance, and simple structure. However, in actual use, belt conveyors are often exposed to outdoor environments and are susceptible to various natural factors, with rainwater causing particularly severe damage. When belt conveyors are wet, the belt surface becomes slippery, causing materials to easily slip during transport and affecting conveying efficiency. Simultaneously, rainwater can seep into critical components such as the drive unit and rollers, causing short circuits, rust, and other problems, shortening the equipment's lifespan and increasing maintenance costs. Furthermore, in flammable and explosive locations, belt conveyors may generate static electricity or sparks during operation. If exposed to open flames or high temperatures, this can easily lead to fires, posing a significant threat to production safety and the lives and property of employees.

[0003] To address these issues, rain covers are typically installed on belt conveyors. Traditional rain covers mostly employ simple structures, which, while offering some protection against rain, present numerous inconveniences during use. For instance, the assembly process is complex, requiring significant time and manpower for installation and disassembly, especially when frequent repositioning or adjustments to the belt conveyor are necessary. Furthermore, traditional rain covers are functionally limited, offering only rain protection and failing to address emergencies such as fires, lacking essential safety measures.

[0004] Furthermore, existing rain covers are inadequate in terms of water storage. While some rain covers take rainwater collection into account for emergencies, the rainwater collection devices are poorly designed, resulting in low collection efficiency and inability to connect to external water supply systems. This leads to the inability to replenish water in a timely manner when rainfall is insufficient, affecting the normal use of the rain cover. To solve the above problems, we propose a rain cover for belt conveyors. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a rain cover for a belt conveyor, including a cover body 1, a locking device 2, a plug connector 3, a fireproof device 4, and a water storage device 5.

[0021] The cover 1 is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant material. In this invention, engineering plastics are used to ensure long-term use in harsh outdoor environments. The shape of the cover 1 is designed according to the actual size and shape of the belt conveyor, generally a cuboid or arc-shaped structure, capable of completely covering the conveying part of the belt conveyor. It should be noted that the shape of the cover 1 is not specified in this invention. The end face of the cover 1 is provided with a sealing strip made of rubber, which has good sealing performance. When adjacent covers 1 are spliced ​​together, the sealing strip can fit tightly, effectively preventing rainwater from seeping into the interior of the cover from the joint, protecting the belt conveyor from rain damage.

[0022] The locking device 2 is installed on the side wall of the cover 1 near one end face. The locking device 2 mainly includes a fixing buckle 21, a magnetic insert 22, an elastic element 23, and a pull plate 24. The fixing buckle 21 is firmly fixed to the side wall of the cover 1 by welding or bolting, providing stable support for the entire locking device 2. The magnetic insert 22 is connected to the inner side wall of the fixing buckle 21 through the elastic element 23. The elastic element 23 is generally a spring, which pushes the magnetic insert 22 outward in its natural state. The side wall of the fixing buckle 21 has a sliding hole, and one end of the pull plate 24 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the magnetic insert 22. The other end of the pull plate 24 passes through the sliding hole of the fixing buckle 21 and extends to the outside. The pull plate 24 is designed in a T-shape, which is convenient for the operator to hold and pull. In this utility model, the locking device 2 includes two magnetic inserts 22, two elastic elements 23, and two pull plates 24.

[0023] When it is necessary to join the two covers 1 together, the operator only needs to insert the connector 3 into the fixing buckle 21. The magnetic insert 22 retracts inward and is attracted into the slot of the connector 3, realizing the quick connection of the two covers 1. When disassembling, the pull plate 24 is pulled to separate the magnetic insert 22 from the connector 3. Moreover, due to the restoring force of the elastic element 23, the operator only needs to gently push the pull plate 24 at both ends, and the two magnetic inserts 22 will return to their original positions at both ends, thus separating the two covers 1.

[0024] The connector 3 is located on the side wall of the cover 1 near the other end face. The shape and size of the connector 3 match the magnetic plug 22 in the locking device 2. The connector 3 is made of iron rod to ensure that the magnetic plug 22 can be attracted into the slot of the connector 3. When two covers 1 are spliced ​​together, the connector 3 of one cover can be smoothly inserted into the locking device 2 of the other cover and tightly engaged with the magnetic plug 22, ensuring the firmness and stability of the splice.

[0025] The fire-prevention device 4 is installed on the top surface of the cover 1 and mainly consists of a mounting plate 41 and a nozzle 42. The mounting plate 41 is fixed to the top surface of the cover 1 by bolts or other means, providing a mounting base for the nozzle 42. The nozzle 42 includes a nozzle head and a water inlet. The nozzle head passes through the top surface of the cover 1 and can spray water directly into the interior of the cover 1. The nozzle 42 is reliably connected to the top surface of the cover 1 through the mounting plate 41, ensuring that it will not loosen or fall off during water spraying. When a fire occurs around the belt conveyor, the water in the water storage device 5 is transported through a pipeline to the water inlet of the nozzle 42, and then sprayed out from the nozzle head of the nozzle 42 to form a water mist or water stream to extinguish the fire, effectively preventing the fire from spreading and ensuring the safe operation of the belt conveyor.

[0026] The water storage device 5 includes a water tank 51, a water inlet 52, and a water pump 53. The water tank 51 is connected to the top surface of the cover 1. The water tank 51 is generally rectangular or cylindrical in shape, and its capacity is designed according to actual needs. The top surface of the water tank 51 has an opening for collecting rainwater. During rainy weather, rainwater can naturally fall into the water tank, realizing the effective utilization of water resources. The water inlet 52 is located on the side wall of the water tank 51 near the top surface. The water inlet 52 can be connected to an external water supply device. When the rainwater in the water tank is insufficient, water can be added to the water tank through the water inlet 52 to ensure that the water storage device always has enough water for the fire protection device 4. The side wall of the water tank 51 near the bottom is connected to the inlet of the water pump 53. The outlet of the water pump 53 is connected to the inlet of the nozzle 42 of the fire protection device 4 through a pipe. When water spraying is needed to extinguish a fire, the water pump 53 is started. The water pump 53 draws water from the water tank 51 and pressurizes it, then delivers it to the nozzle 42 through the pipeline to achieve the function of water spraying to extinguish a fire.
