Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyor cleaning technology, specifically a belt surface cleaning device for a mineral processing plant belt conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] The belt conveyor used in mineral processing plants is considered a core piece of equipment in the material conveying field. With its significant advantages such as long conveying distance, strong transport capacity, and ability to achieve uninterrupted conveying, it occupies a crucial position in the mineral processing production process. This equipment mainly consists of key components such as a conveyor belt, idlers and a frame, a transmission device, a tensioning device, a cleaning device, and a braking device. Its operating principle relies on the frictional force between the conveyor belt and the rollers to drive the conveyor belt to rotate continuously, thereby achieving the task of continuous material conveying.

[0003] In existing mineral processing plants, belt conveyors often accumulate ore powder, dirt, or other impurities on their belt surfaces during operation. These residues not only contaminate subsequently transported materials but can also corrode equipment components or accelerate wear. Therefore, regular cleaning of the belt conveyor's surface is essential. However, traditional cleaning methods rely on operators manually sweeping the belt surface with brushes, brooms, and other tools. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a belt surface cleaning device for a mineral processing plant belt conveyor, making it more convenient to clean the belt surface of the conveyor body.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a belt surface cleaning device for a mineral processing plant belt conveyor, comprising a scraper located below the end of the conveyor body, rotating grooves being provided at the ends of two side plates on the conveyor body, a rotating ring being rotatably connected inside the rotating grooves, a connecting plate being fixedly connected to the side of the rotating ring away from the conveyor body, the two ends of the scraper being fixedly connected to the two connecting plates respectively, and the end of the scraper abutting against the conveyor belt on the conveyor body.

[0006] Furthermore, a groove is provided in the middle of the connecting plate, and a brush plate is provided between the two connecting plates. The two ends of the brush plate are matched with the groove, and brush bristles are fixed to the side of the brush plate near the conveyor body. The brush bristles abut against the conveyor belt on the conveyor body.

[0007] Furthermore, both ends of the brush plate are provided with fixing bolts, which pass through the sliding groove and are threadedly connected to the brush plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the end of the conveyor body is provided with a positioning bolt, which passes through the conveyor body and is threadedly connected to the swivel.

[0009] Furthermore, a pressure plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the conveyor body, the pressure plate is matched with the scraper, and limit blocks are fixed to both ends of the pressure plate. Limiting grooves matching the limit blocks are opened on the side plate of the conveyor body.

[0010] Furthermore, both ends of the limiting block are slidably connected to limiting posts, and the two ends of the limiting posts are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the limiting groove, respectively. An elastic element is sleeved on the upper end of the limiting post, the upper end of the elastic element is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting groove, and the lower end of the elastic element is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting groove.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This type of belt conveyor surface cleaning device for ore dressing plants uses scrapers that abut against the belt surface at the bottom of the conveyor body during operation to scrape off impurities. This reduces the possibility of residual substances contaminating subsequent conveyed materials and prevents these impurities from corroding equipment components or aggravating their wear. Furthermore, since the entire cleaning process relies on the power of the conveyor body itself, it is simpler and more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4A belt cleaning device for a mineral processing plant includes a scraper 5 located below the end of the conveyor body 1. Rotating grooves 2 are provided at the ends of the two side plates on the conveyor body 1. A rotating ring 3 is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove 2. A connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating ring 3 away from the conveyor body 1. The two ends of the scraper 5 are fixedly connected to the two connecting plates 4 respectively. The end of the scraper 5 abuts against the conveyor belt on the conveyor body 1.

[0020] The belt surface cleaning device for a mineral processing plant belt conveyor in this utility model involves scraping the scraper 5 against the belt surface at the bottom of the conveyor body 1 during operation, thereby scraping off impurities attached to the belt surface. This reduces the possibility of residual substances contaminating the subsequently conveyed materials and prevents these impurities from corroding equipment components or aggravating their wear. Furthermore, since the entire cleaning process relies entirely on the power of the conveyor body 1 itself, it is simpler and more convenient. In addition, since the conveyor body 1 is an existing mature product, it will not be described in detail here.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a groove 6 is provided in the middle of the connecting plate 4, and a brush plate 7 is provided between the two connecting plates 4. The two ends of the brush plate 7 are matched with the groove 6. Brush bristles are fixed to the side of the brush plate 7 near the conveyor body 1, and the brush bristles abut against the conveyor belt on the conveyor body 1.

[0022] Specifically, before the conveyor body 1 comes into contact with the scraper 5, it will first come into contact with the bristles on the brush plate 7. The bristles will first sweep away the impurities with weak adhesion, reduce the wear rate of the scraper 5, and extend the service life of the scraper 5.

[0023] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, both ends of the brush plate 7 are provided with fixing bolts 8, which pass through the slide groove 6 and are threadedly connected to the brush plate 7.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the end of the conveyor body 1 is provided with a positioning bolt 9, which passes through the conveyor body 1 and is threadedly connected to the rotating ring 3.

[0025] Specifically, when the impurities adhering to the belt surface of the conveyor body 1 are minimal and do not affect the normal operation of the conveyor body 1, the fixing bolts 8 can be loosened first, then the brush plate 7 can be moved to allow the bristles on the brush plate 7 to detach from the belt surface of the conveyor body 1. Then, the fixing bolts 8 can be tightened again, followed by loosening the positioning bolts 9 and rotating the scraper plate 5 to allow the scraper plate 5 to detach from the belt surface of the conveyor body 1 (i.e.,...). Figure 3 (as shown in the diagram), this reduces the wear rate of the scraper 5 and the conveyor belt on the conveyor body 1, extending their service life.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, a pressure plate 13 is slidably connected to the inner side of the conveyor body 1. The pressure plate 13 is matched with the scraper 5. Limiting blocks 10 are fixed to both ends of the pressure plate 13. Limiting grooves matching the limiting blocks 10 are opened on the side plate of the conveyor body 1.

[0027] Specifically, when the scraper 5 is not working, the pressure plate 13 will not come into contact with the conveyor belt; when the scraper 5 comes into contact with the conveyor belt on the conveyor body 1, the upward force of the scraper 5 will cause the pressure plate 13 to press on the conveyor belt, making the conveyor belt and the scraper 5 fit more tightly, and preventing the conveyor belt from giving way on its own due to its elasticity, which would reduce the cleaning effect.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, both ends of the limiting block 10 are slidably connected to the limiting post 11. The two ends of the limiting post 11 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the limiting groove, respectively. An elastic element 12 is sleeved on the upper end of the limiting post 11. The upper end of the elastic element 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting groove, and the lower end of the elastic element 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting groove. The cleaning time will not be too long, and the pressure of the elastic element 12 will not be too high, therefore the pressure plate 13 will not cause excessive damage or other effects to the conveyor belt.

[0029] Specifically, the elastic element 12 restricts the pressure plate 13, which ensures that the pressure plate 13 exerts a certain squeezing and restricting effect on the conveyor belt, while preventing the conveyor belt from being stretched too tightly by the pressure plate 13, which could lead to damage to the conveyor belt. In this utility model, the elastic element 12 is preferably a spring.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
