Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment, specifically a brick conveying device. Background Technology
[0002] In automated brick production lines, brick conveying equipment is used to continuously and stably transport brick blanks to subsequent processing stations. During the pressing and handling process, dust and debris often adhere to the bottom of the brick blanks. These impurities fall off and accumulate on the surface of the conveyor belt during transport. The accumulated impurities may not only contaminate subsequent brick blanks and affect product quality, but may also cause the conveyor belt to slip, deviate, or even damage the conveying equipment, affecting the stability and continuity of the production line.
[0003] Currently, the common cleaning methods involve manual cleaning after the equipment is shut down, or the installation of simple cleaning devices such as fixed scrapers and brushes. Manual cleaning is inefficient and affects the production schedule. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a brick conveying device, the structure of which includes a frame, a conveyor belt mounted on the frame for conveying bricks, and a cleaning device mounted at the input end of the frame for cleaning the conveyor belt;
[0005] The cleaning device includes a cleaning roller that contacts the surface of the conveyor belt. Both ends of the cleaning roller are mounted on the frame via bearings, and one end of the cleaning roller passes through the bearing and is connected to the shaft of the motor via a coupling.
[0006] The cleaning roller includes a roller body, with both ends of the roller body connected to the bearing respectively. A cylinder with a diameter larger than the roller body is coaxially arranged in the middle of the roller body. Multiple radially extending partitions are evenly arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder, and a space for accommodating cleaning blocks is formed between two adjacent partitions.
[0007] The cleaning block includes a brush holder, which is disposed between two adjacent partitions. The outer surface of the brush holder is embedded with bristles, and a slider is connected to the middle of the inner side of the brush holder.
[0008] The outer circumferential surface of the cylinder is provided with a sliding groove that slides with the slider. The sliding groove is located between two adjacent partitions and extends along the axial direction of the cylinder. A spring is provided in the sliding groove, and the spring is used to push the slider toward the motor side.
[0009] The brush holder has a first magnet embedded on each side of the end near the motor, with the N pole of the first magnet facing outward; a second magnet is provided at the opposite position of the first magnet, with the N pole of the second magnet facing the first magnet, and the second magnet is embedded in a ring connected to the inner side of the bearing; the repulsive force between the second magnet and the first magnet cooperates with the pushing force of the spring to make the brush holder move axially while rolling and cleaning the conveyor belt.
[0010] Furthermore, the chute extends toward the motor side and beyond the cylinder, forming an opening at the end of the cylinder near the motor, and a stop bar is inserted at the open end of the chute to close the opening.
[0011] Furthermore, the cylinder body has a threaded hole inwardly opened on the side wall of the slide groove, and a screw is threadedly connected in the threaded hole. The end of the screw extends to the opening end of the slide groove and abuts against the stop bar.
[0012] Furthermore, the number of partitions is eight.
[0013] Furthermore, the groove is a T-shaped groove, and the slider is a T-shaped slider that mates with the T-shaped groove.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] The cleaning roller driven by the motor enables automatic and continuous cleaning of the conveyor belt while conveying brick blanks, without the need for manual operation to stop the machine, which greatly improves production efficiency.
[0016] Under the combined action of magnetic repulsion and spring force, the brush holder will move back and forth at high frequency along the axis of the cleaning roller. Combined with the rotation of the cleaning roller, a composite cleaning mode is formed, which can more thoroughly remove stubborn impurities attached to the gaps of the conveyor belt. The cleaning effect is far superior to that of a single fixed brush or rotating brush.
[0017] The removable baffle design allows the entire sweeping block to be easily removed from the opening end of the chute for cleaning or replacement, making maintenance convenient and quick. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0027] Examples, such as Figures 1-7 As shown: This utility model provides a brick feeding and conveying device, which is mainly used at the starting end of a brick production line. Its structure includes a frame 1, which is welded from steel sections and serves as a support; a conveyor belt 2, which is installed on the frame 1 for conveying bricks; and a cleaning device 3, which is installed at the input end of the frame 1 for cleaning the conveyor belt 2.
[0028] Specifically, the cleaning device 3 includes a cleaning roller 4 that contacts the surface of the conveyor belt 2 to clean the conveyor belt 2. Both ends of the cleaning roller 4 are mounted on the frame 1 through bearings 5, and one end of the cleaning roller 4 passes through the bearing 5 and is connected to the shaft of the motor 6 through a coupling, so that the cleaning roller 4 can clean the conveyor belt 2 in a fixed position through the motor 6.
[0029] The cleaning roller 4 includes a roller body 41, with both ends of the roller body 41 connected to bearings 5 for support. A cylinder 42 with a diameter larger than the roller body 41 is coaxially arranged in the middle of the roller body 41. Multiple radially extending partitions 43 are evenly arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder 42. A space for accommodating cleaning blocks 44 is formed between two adjacent partitions 43, which facilitates the separation of each cleaning block 44 and guides the movement of the cleaning blocks 44.
[0030] Specifically, the cleaning block 44 includes a brush seat 441, which is disposed between two adjacent partitions 43 for sliding. The outer surface of the brush seat 441 is embedded with bristles 442 to clean the conveyor belt 2. A slider 443 is connected to the middle of the inner side of the brush seat 441.
[0031] To prevent the brush holder 441 from detaching from the cylinder 42, a groove 45 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder 42 to slide and engage with the slider 443. The groove 45 is located between two adjacent partitions 43 and extends along the axial direction of the cylinder 42. A spring 46 is provided in the groove 45, which is used to push the slider 443 toward the motor 6.
[0032] A constant push force is applied to the slider 443 in the direction of the motor 6. In order for the slider 443 to move in the opposite direction, a first magnet 47 is embedded on both sides of the brush holder 441 near the motor 6. The N pole of the first magnet 47 faces outward. A second magnet 48 is provided at the opposite position of the first magnet 47. The N pole of the second magnet 48 faces the first magnet 47. The second magnet 48 is embedded in the ring 49 connected to the inner side of the bearing 5 to fix the second magnet 48. The repulsive force between the second magnet 48 and the first magnet 47 cooperates with the pushing force of the spring 46 to make the brush holder 441 move axially while rolling and cleaning the conveyor belt 2.
[0033] Over time, the brush bristles tend to fall off. To facilitate the replacement of the cleaning block 44, the slide 45 extends towards the motor 6 and beyond the cylinder 42, forming an opening at the end of the cylinder 42 near the motor 6. A stop bar 410 is inserted into the opening of the slide 45 to close the opening. The cylinder 42 has a threaded hole 411 on the side wall of the slide 45, and a screw 412 is threaded into the threaded hole 411. The end of the screw 412 extends to the opening of the slide 45 and abuts against the stop bar 410. The stop bar 410 is fixed by the screw 412. The cleaning block 44 can be replaced by removing the stop bar 410.
[0034] To reduce the weight of the cleaning block 44 and make its movement easier, there are 8 partitions 43 and 8 cleaning blocks 44.
[0035] It should be noted that the slide groove 45 is a T-shaped groove, and the slider 443 is a T-shaped slider that cooperates with the T-shaped groove to prevent the slider 443 from disengaging from the slide groove 45.
[0036] In practice, motor 6 drives the cleaning roller 4 to rotate at high speed, and the brush bristles 442 rotate accordingly, brushing the surface of the conveyor belt 2 and removing impurities. Simultaneously, because the stationary second magnet 48 and the rotating magnet 47 have opposite poles, a continuous repulsive force is generated. This repulsive force attempts to push the brush holder 441 away from the motor 6. Meanwhile, the elastic force of the spring 46 attempts to push the brush holder 441 towards the motor 6. These two forces work together to cause the brush holder 441 to undergo high-frequency axial reciprocating motion within its groove 45 while revolving with the cylinder 42. This combined motion greatly enhances the cleaning effect.
[0037] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
