Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a conveyor belt conveyor, specifically to a passive automatic cleaning and collection device for conveyor belts. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most factories and mines use belt conveyors for bulk material transportation, conveying materials that are sometimes in lumps, sometimes in powder, and sometimes a mixture of dry and wet materials. After unloading, some residual material remains on the belt surface when it returns to its starting position. Users typically use rubber sheets or alloy scrapers to remove this residue. While these products offer some cleaning effect, they are unlikely to completely remove all residual material. As the belt continues to run, and during the return journey, the belt may slightly bounce, causing residual material to fall along the conveyor corridor, resulting in dust accumulation throughout the corridor. Workers must clean this area regularly each day. This cleaning process requires stopping the machine, significantly impacting production efficiency. Cleaning without stopping poses a safety hazard to workers. With increasing environmental awareness and the need for unmanned operation of belt conveyors, there is an urgent need for efficient conveyor belt cleaning and collection equipment. Based on the above, we propose a passive automatic cleaning and collection device for mining conveyor belts. Utility Model Content

[0022] This utility model discloses a passive automatic cleaning and collection device for conveyor belts, comprising: a conveyor frame, a conveyor belt, a roller, a first sprocket, a first transmission chain, a second transmission chain, a third transmission chain, a fourth transmission chain, a cleaning roller brush, a second sprocket, a bearing seat, a scraper, a third sprocket, a fourth sprocket, a fifth sprocket, a sixth sprocket, a seventh sprocket, an eighth sprocket, and a frame trough. The frame trough is fixed to the ground. The roller is installed below the conveyor frame and supported below the conveyor belt. The first sprocket is installed on the outer side of one end of the roller and can rotate integrally with the roller. The second sprocket is installed on the outer side of one end of the cleaning roller brush and can rotate integrally with the cleaning roller brush. The first sprocket and the second sprocket are connected by a transmission chain. The conveyor belt is connected by a drive chain; when the conveyor belt moves, it drives the roller to rotate, which in turn drives sprocket one to rotate, which in turn drives sprocket two, which in turn drives the cleaning roller brush to rotate, thus cleaning the residual material on the conveyor belt; sprocket three is installed on the outer side of the other end of the cleaning roller brush and rotates as an integral part of the cleaning roller brush; sprocket four shares a shaft with sprocket five and sprocket seven, and sprocket four is installed on the outer side of the side plate of the frame trough using a bearing seat; sprocket three and sprocket four are connected and driven by drive chain two; the cleaning roller brush is installed on the upper side of both sides of the frame trough using a bearing seat; the frame trough is a rectangular trough shape welded from shaped steel and steel plates, and one end of the side plate of the frame trough is trapezoidal for easy material discharge;
[0023] Sprockets five and six are installed at both ends of a common shaft, which is mounted on the side upright of the machine frame using bearing seats, located behind the side upright of the machine frame; sprockets seven and eight are installed at both ends of a common shaft, which is mounted on the side upright of the machine frame using bearing seats, located in front of the side upright of the machine frame; sprockets five and six are connected and driven by transmission chain three; sprockets seven and eight are connected and driven by transmission chain four; a scraper is installed between transmission chains three and four, with one end of the scraper installed inside transmission chain three and the other end installed inside transmission chain four; the scraper is made of welded steel plate and is T-shaped, and there are several scrapers;

[0027] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When the conveyor belt is running, the conveyor roller rotates, and the integrated sprocket one rotates accordingly. Through the transmission chain one, it drives sprocket two, which in turn drives the cleaning roller brush to rotate, sweeping the attached materials on the conveyor belt surface and causing them to fall into the machine frame trough. At the same time, sprocket three drives sprocket four through transmission chain two, which in turn drives sprocket five to rotate. Sprocket five drives sprocket six through transmission chain three, forming a series connection. This causes the scraper to rotate counterclockwise continuously, scraping the material that has fallen to the bottom of the machine frame trough out of the trough and into the hopper.
