Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of belt conveyor maintenance and adjustment technology, specifically to a belt conveyor tail tension adjustment device. Background Technology

[0002] Belt conveyors play a vital role in the national economy and social development as a conveying equipment for powdery materials. They are the main form of conveying powdery and granular materials and are widely used in petrochemical, energy, metallurgy, coal and agriculture fields. Because belt conveyors use conveyor belts (usually made of rubber), the belts have a large elongation due to the material, which means that the belts need to be constantly tensioned during use to meet the frictional forces required during the conveying process. Therefore, tensioning devices are installed at the tail end of belt conveyors.

[0003] Traditional belt conveyor tail tensioning devices typically employ an adjusting screw and a tensioning base, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the tail redirecting roller is connected to the tensioning mechanism base via bolts. The tensioning base is connected to the tail support via a tensioning screw. When the adjusting screw is activated, the tail redirecting roller can move back and forth, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the conveyor belt tension. However, the removal of the roller is complex and requires the assistance of lifting equipment, making it impossible to quickly replace or repair bearings, conveyor belts, etc. Furthermore, during replacement operations, the tail redirecting roller must be completely removed. It is impossible to fine-tune the roller position and carry out corresponding maintenance operations without removing the roller. The lifting workload is large, and the maintenance takes a long time, which cannot meet the current demand for quick and convenient equipment maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a tension adjustment device for the tail of a belt conveyor, which solves the problem that existing belt conveyors cannot be repaired or replaced without removing the rollers when replacing bearings or the annular conveyor belt.

[0033] Preferably, the support frame 3 is provided with an adjustment hole 17, and one end of the tensioning screw 601 passes through the adjustment hole 17 and is connected to the sliding support 501.

[0034] Further, see Figure 2 , 3 The sliding support 501 is provided with a tensioning groove 18, and a tensioning hole is provided on the side wall of the tensioning groove 18. The tensioning hole passes through the tensioning groove 18, and the end of the tensioning screw 601 that passes through the adjustment hole 17 enters the tensioning groove 18 through the tensioning hole; the first locking sleeve 701 is located in the tensioning groove 18.

[0035] Preferably, the tensioning groove 18 is a groove formed on the sliding support 501.

[0036] In the above setup, one end of the tensioning screw 601 is passed through the adjusting hole 17, and the second locking sleeve 702 and the second adjusting sleeve 802 are installed on the tensioning screw 601. The end of the tensioning screw 601 is then inserted into the tensioning hole located in the tensioning groove 18. The first locking sleeve 701 is threadedly connected to the tensioning screw 601. The second locking sleeve 702 is rotated to move towards the tensioning groove 18, so that the second locking sleeve 702 and the first locking sleeve 701 are clamped on the sliding support 501, connecting the tensioning screw 601 to the sliding support 501. The first adjusting sleeve... 801 is installed on the tensioning screw 601. The first adjusting sleeve 801 is rotated to abut against the support frame 3. As the first adjusting sleeve 801 moves on the tensioning screw 601, it can drive the tensioning screw 601 to move out of the adjusting hole 17, thereby driving the sliding support 501 to move along the upper slide rail 401 and the lower slide rail 402 toward the adjusting hole 17, which can tension the conveyor belt. After tensioning, the second adjusting sleeve 802 is rotated and abuts against the support frame 3, thereby clamping the tensioning screw 601 on the support frame 3 through the first adjusting sleeve 801 and the second adjusting sleeve 802, fixing the position of the tensioning screw 601.

[0037] In this embodiment, the support frame 3 is installed on both sides of the belt conveyor 1. The redirecting roller 2 is connected to the bearings 16 on the two sets of sliding supports 501. The sliding supports 501 provide support for the redirecting roller 2, replacing the bearing 16 seats of the conventional redirecting roller 2. Through the support provided by the sliding supports 501, during the tensioning of the conveyor belt 9, by loosening the second adjusting screw sleeve 802, the first adjusting screw sleeve 801 is rotated to drive the tensioning screw 601 to move. The sliding supports 501 move along the lower slide rail 402 and the upper slide rail 401 toward the adjusting hole 17, driving the redirecting roller to move, thereby achieving the tensioning of the conveyor belt 9. The second adjusting screw sleeve 802 is rotated to abut against the support frame 3 to fix the position of the tensioning screw 601, thereby fixing the position of the sliding supports 501 and the redirecting roller 2. When replacing bearing 16 or conveyor belt 9, loosen the first adjusting screw sleeve 801, push the sliding support 501 to slide onto the side slide rail 403, separate the upper slide rail 401 and lower slide rail 402 from the support frame 3, thereby expanding the space of the mounting cavity 10. Then, adjust the redirecting roller 2 to the position where the upper slide rail 401 and lower slide rail 402 have been removed by the tension screw 601. With a gap between the upper and lower parts, the sliding support 501 can move along its own axis (that is, in the direction perpendicular to the support frame 3), which can conveniently and quickly realize the rapid replacement or maintenance of the bearing 16 seat of the redirecting roller 2 or the ring conveyor belt.

[0038] 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.
