Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quantitative feeder technology, specifically a special tool for calibrating belt scales. Background Technology

[0002] A quantitative feeder is a mechanical device used for continuous weighing, metering, and quantitative conveying of bulk materials. It is widely used in industries such as building materials, metallurgy, power, chemicals, coal, and grain. Using weights on the quantitative feeder is a calibration method. Its core principle is to simulate the force exerted by the material on the weighing bridge by applying standard weights to the weighing frame, thereby verifying and calibrating the equipment's metering accuracy. During routine calibration of quantitative feeders for ores and lime, the chain weights provided by the manufacturer are used.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN206114099U, authorized on April 19, 2017, discloses an electronic belt scale and its bar weight calibration device. The bar weight calibration device has a pair of first slots and a pair of second slots on its circumferential side. A first support is provided on the frame beam of the belt conveyor. A second support is provided on the weighing bridge of the electronic belt scale. When not calibrating, the bar weight calibration device is placed on the first support. When the electronic belt scale needs to be calibrated, the bar weight calibration device is lifted onto the second support by external force. In this way, no special storage space is needed for the bar weight calibration device, and it is easier for workers to move it, saving manpower. Thus, the electronic belt scale can be calibrated conveniently, quickly, and efficiently.

[0004] The existing feeder chain codes are quite heavy. During normal daily calibration, workers need to lift and lower the chain codes, which can easily cause crushing or crushing injuries to personnel, posing a significant safety hazard. The chain codes are not securely fixed, which will cause fluctuations in measurement errors and fail to meet the usage requirements. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a special tool for calibrating belt scales, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the heavy weight of the existing feeder chain code, which requires workers to lift the chain code up and down during normal daily calibration, which can easily cause personnel to be squeezed or crushed during handling, posing a significant safety hazard; and the chain code not being firmly fixed will cause fluctuations in measurement error, failing to meet the usage requirements.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a special tool for calibrating a belt scale, comprising a rod valve and columns. Each end of the rod valve is provided with a hexagonal connector, which is welded to the rod valve. Each end of the rod valve has a handle above it, which is welded to the rod valve. The handle is semi-circular and located inside the hexagonal connector. Two columns are provided, each located on one side of the hexagonal connector. Each column has a telescopic cavity inside. An L-shaped support frame is provided above the column, with its lower end extending into the telescopic cavity and slidably connected to the column. The L-shaped support frame is connected to the handle. An electric actuator is provided inside the telescopic cavity and connected to the column by screws. The electric actuator is located below the L-shaped support frame, and its telescopic end is connected to the L-shaped support frame.

[0007] Preferably, a connecting hole is provided at the center of the hexagonal connector, a counterweight is provided on one side of the hexagonal connector, a connector is provided on one side of the counterweight, and the connector and the counterweight are integrated. The connector is provided in correspondence with the connecting hole, and the connector is threadedly connected to the hexagonal connector.

[0008] Preferably, a first rubber pad is provided above the L-shaped support frame, and the first rubber pad is in close contact with the L-shaped support frame.

[0009] Preferably, a second rubber pad is provided on the inner side of the handle, and the second rubber pad is in close contact with the handle.

[0010] Preferably, an opening groove is provided on the outer wall of both ends of the rod valve, and the opening groove is U-shaped.

[0011] Preferably, the outer surface of the rod valve is provided with a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating, and the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating is integrally coated with the rod valve.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This utility model device, through the arrangement of a rod valve, a column, an L-shaped support frame, an electric actuator, and a handle, allows for convenient handling of the weight by welding the handle to both ends of the rod valve. The L-shaped support frame is slidably connected to the column to form a support structure that supports the weight. The electric actuator drives the L-shaped support frame to rise and fall. As the L-shaped support frame descends, the weight falls onto the belt scale. The L-shaped support frame is completely separated from the handle, and the weight is placed in the designated position on the quantitative feeder. After entering the calibration mode and starting the quantitative feeder on-site, it is observed whether the hourly feed rate meets the standard. The chain weight is then changed to the weight for calibration, reducing the labor intensity of employees and improving inherent safety.

[0014] 2. This utility model device, through the setting of hexagonal connector, counterweight, connecting hole and connector head, the connector head is inserted into the connecting hole and connected to the hexagonal connector, the counterweight is installed on the hanging weight, and the weight of the hanging weight is adjusted by changing the weight of the counterweight, which can accurately control the weight of the hanging weight and improve the accuracy of the hanging weight calibration data.

[0015] 3. This utility model device improves the wear and corrosion resistance of the hanging code by setting a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating, thereby increasing the service life of the hanging code. Attached Figure Description
