Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coal conveying technology, specifically to a protective device for preventing tearing and overlapping of belt conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] A coal mine belt conveyor is a device specifically designed for transporting materials such as coal in mining environments. This type of conveyor typically uses a belt as the transport medium, moving materials like coal from one location to another for efficient material transport. However, during material transport, the conveyor belt may tear due to factors such as excessive material weight, material properties, and ambient temperature, leading to wear and breakage. Longitudinal tearing is particularly common. Currently, most existing longitudinal tear protection systems rely on alarms triggered by falling material after a tear. However, due to the strong tension of the belt's counterweight, the tear may overlap at the point of breakage. Therefore, detecting overlap at the tear point is necessary for comprehensive identification of longitudinal tears.

[0003] Existing patent CN200820234085.X discloses an overlapping belt tear detection device, which includes at least one pair of detection switches. The detection switches are respectively located on the edges of the back side of a U-shaped belt via fixed brackets. When the belt tears at a certain position, both detection switches will simultaneously fail to detect the steel wires in the belt. At this time, the detection switches will send a signal to stop the belt from running.

[0004] The technical problem with this patent is that when there is overlap in the longitudinal tearing of the belt and the belt runs off to one side, there is still a situation where one detection switch can detect the steel wires in the belt, but the other detection switch cannot detect the steel wires in the belt. At this time, the detection switch cannot send a signal to stop the belt from running, and the longitudinal tearing of the belt cannot be detected in time. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a protective device for belt conveyors to prevent tearing and overlapping.

[0006] This utility model is implemented by the following technical solution: a protective device for preventing tearing and overlapping of belt conveyors, which includes a suspension beam, a slip ring, a first steel wire rope, a second steel wire rope, and a telescopic device;

[0025] 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.

[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the anti-tear and anti-overlap protection device for the belt conveyor includes a suspension beam 1, a slip ring 2, a first wire rope 3, a second wire rope 11, and a telescopic device 5.

[0027] A sliding ring 2 is provided on the outer wall of the suspension beam 1. A first steel wire rope 3 is fixed to the bottom end of the sliding ring 2. A fixing plate 4 is fixed to the bottom end of the first steel wire rope 3.

[0028] Vertically arranged support plates 6 are fixed at both ends of the telescopic device 5, and a tension spring 7 is fixedly connected between the two support plates 6. A bracket 8 is fixed at the bottom of the support plate 6, and a roller 9 is rotatably connected to the bracket 8. The two rollers 9 are located on both sides of the belt 10 of the conveyor belt and are in movable contact with the outer edge of the belt 10. The top of the support plate 6 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 4 through the second steel wire rope 11. Under the action of the second steel wire rope 11, an inverted Y-shaped connection structure is formed, which provides stability to the telescopic device 5.

[0029] Under the action of suspension beam 1, slip ring 2, and first wire rope 3, when belt 10 deviates, telescopic device 5 can move left and right with belt 10, reducing false alarms.

[0030] The telescopic device 5 is equipped with an alarm triggering device 12. When the belt 10 tears during operation, the alarm triggering device 12 will sound an alarm in cooperation with the tension spring 7 and the telescopic device 5.

[0031] The telescopic device 5 is a telescopic rod 5.1, which includes a rod part 5.1.1 and a sleeve part 5.1.2. The rod part 5.1.1 is slidably provided inside the sleeve part 5.1.2, and the end of the rod part 5.1.1 extends to the outside of the sleeve part 5.1.2.

[0032] The alarm triggering device 12 includes a proximity switch 12.1 and a sensing element 12.2. The proximity switch 12.1 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve portion 5.1.2 and is perpendicular to the sleeve portion 5.1.2. The trigger end of the proximity switch 12.1 extends through the sleeve portion 5.1.2 and into the interior of the sleeve portion 5.1.2. The sensing element 12.2 is fixedly connected to the end of the rod portion 5.1.1 located inside the sleeve portion 5.1.2. The sensing element 12.2 is in movable contact with the trigger end of the proximity switch 12.1. When the belt 10 is torn, the rod portion 5.1.1 moves toward the sleeve portion 5.1.2, causing the sensing element 12.2 to contact the proximity switch 12.1 and triggering the proximity switch 12.1.

[0033] A third steel wire rope 13 is connected between the bottom end of the support 8 and the frame of the belt conveyor. The function of the third steel wire rope 13 is to limit the movement of the protective device and prevent it from moving forward with the belt 10.

[0034] It also includes a belt conveyor control circuit 14, which includes a belt conveyor running branch 14.1, an alarm sensing branch 14.2, an indicator branch 14.3, and a trigger branch 14.4. When the proximity switch 12.1 is triggered, the belt conveyor stops for maintenance under the action of the belt conveyor control circuit 14.

[0035] The belt conveyor running branch 14.1 includes a stop switch SB1, a start switch SB2, a normally closed contact of the second intermediate relay KA2, and a coil of the belt conveyor contactor KM, which are connected in series. The start switch SB2 is connected in parallel with a normally open contact of the belt conveyor contactor KM.

[0036] The alarm sensing branch 14.2 of the belt conveyor includes a proximity switch 12.1SQ and the coil of the first intermediate relay KA1 connected in series. The coil of the first intermediate relay KA1 is connected in parallel with the coil of the time relay KT.

[0037] The indicator branch 14.3 includes a normally open contact of the first intermediate relay KA1 connected in series and an alarm light HL; the trigger branch 14.4 includes a time delay closing contact of the time relay KT connected in series and a coil of the second intermediate relay KA2. The time relay KT can be set with an alarm time. After the proximity switch 12.1SQ is triggered, the power supply of the belt conveyor will be turned off only after the set time of the time relay KT, reducing the triggering of the proximity switch 12.1SQ caused by errors.

[0038] The specific operation process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0039] The suspension beam 1 is specifically a trestle support frame, which allows the telescopic device 5 to be in a flexible swinging state. The belt 10 and deviation will not affect the protection device. The function of setting rollers 9 on both sides of the belt 10 is to prevent the belt 10 from being damaged by friction.

[0040] The function of the third wire rope 13 is to limit the movement of the protection device. A proximity switch 12.1 is installed on the telescopic device 5. When the belt 10 is torn and overlaps, the belt 10 will become narrower. In this way, the protection device shortens the length of the telescopic device 5 by the tension of the tension spring 7. The rod part 5.1.1 of the telescopic device 5 moves towards the sleeve part 5.1.2, so that the sensing plate 12.2 touches the proximity switch 12.1. Under the action of the belt conveyor control circuit 14, the alarm light HL is used to sound an alarm. When the preset time of the time relay k is reached, the power supply of the belt conveyor is disconnected and the machine is stopped for maintenance.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
