Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment, specifically a fully automatic self-aligning and correcting idler group. Background Technology

[0002] Self-aligning idlers are key components in belt conveyors used for automatic detection and correction of belt misalignment, primarily installed on the return belt (lower belt) section. They improve the stability of the conveyor system and extend the life of the belt and idlers. Currently, existing self-aligning idler assemblies are limited by fixed installation positions, requiring passive adjustment by operators to define the position between the idler and the conveyor belt edge, lacking any adaptive correction effect and hindering the improvement of correction accuracy. Therefore, to address the above problems, a fully automatic self-aligning idler assembly is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automatic self-aligning and correcting idler roller assembly to solve the above-mentioned problems.

The center of the elliptical block is rotatably connected to the interior of a U-shaped plate via a rotating shaft, and one end of the rotating shaft is connected to the motor shaft located on the U-shaped plate. Multiple conveyor belt edge contact wheels are rotatably installed in the mounting grooves located on the side walls surrounding the elliptical block. The same slide block is slidably installed on two guide rails at the bottom of the U-shaped plate, and a conveyor belt offset detection module and a controller are respectively installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the slide block. The conveyor belt offset detection module is located on one side below the conveyor belt.

[0005] In a further technical solution, the conveyor belt offset detection module is a group of two, and the two conveyor belt offset detection modules are symmetrically distributed between the two idlers, with the two conveyor belt offset detection modules acting on both sides of the same conveyor belt respectively.

[0006] In a further technical solution, the surface of the idler roller is in contact with the back of the conveyor belt.

[0007] In a further technical solution, the slide block is fixedly connected to the guide rail by positioning bolts.

[0008] In a further technical solution, the controller is electrically connected to the motor and the conveyor belt offset detection module via wires.

[0009] In a further technical solution, the conveyor belt offset detection module identifies the position of the belt edge and idler rollers using Canny edge detection or contour extraction algorithms.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: by using the elliptical block and the multiple conveyor belt edge contact wheels distributed around it, different spacing changes can be formed to push the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt edge contact wheels are in a follow-up state with the conveyor belt. At the same time, the motor used to drive the elliptical block to rotate is operated by the controller, and the conveyor belt offset detection module obtains the conveyor belt offset data signal and sends it to the controller, so as to realize the structure function of automatically adjusting and correcting the conveyor belt.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, a fully automatic self-aligning and correcting idler assembly includes an elliptical block 1, conveyor belt 6 edge contact wheels 2, a motor 4, idler rollers 5, a conveyor belt offset detection module 7, a slide block 8, a guide rail 9, and a controller 10. The center of the elliptical block 1 is rotatably connected to the interior of a U-shaped plate 3 via a rotating shaft, and one end of the rotating shaft is connected to the shaft end of the motor 4 located on the U-shaped plate 3. Multiple conveyor belt 6 edge contact wheels 2 are rotatably installed inside the side grooves 110 located around the elliptical block 1. The same slide block 8 is slidably installed on two guide rails 9 located at the bottom of the U-shaped plate 3, and the conveyor belt offset detection module 7 and the controller 10 are respectively installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the slide block 8. The conveyor belt offset detection module 7 is located on one side below the conveyor belt 6. The conveyor belt offset detection module 7 identifies the position of the belt edge and the idler roller 5 through Canny edge detection or contour extraction algorithms.

[0018] The conveyor belt offset detection module 7 is in pairs, and the two conveyor belt offset detection modules 7 are symmetrically distributed between the two idlers 5. The two conveyor belt offset detection modules 7 act on both sides of the same conveyor belt 6.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the surface of the idler roller 5 is in contact with the back of the conveyor belt 6.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, the slide block 8 is fixedly connected to the guide rail 9 by positioning bolts 11.

[0021] The controller 10 is electrically connected to the motor 4 and the conveyor belt offset detection module 7 via wires.

[0022] Working principle: Based on the conveyor belt offset detection module 7, the Canny edge detection or contour extraction algorithm is used to identify the position of the belt edge and the idler roller 5. If the conveyor belt offset detection module 7 detects that the conveyor belt 6 is offset outward on one side, the motor 4 controlled by the controller 10 on one side will drive the connected elliptical block 1 to rotate, so that the conveyor belt edge contact wheel 2 installed on the elliptical block 1 pushes the edge of the conveyor belt 6 inward until the conveyor belt 6 is no longer offset. At the same time, the conveyor belt edge contact wheel 2 remains stationary. Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: by using the elliptical block 1 and the multiple conveyor belt edge contact wheels 2 installed around it, different spacing changes can be formed to push the conveyor belt 6, and the conveyor belt edge contact wheels 2 are in a follow-up state in contact with the conveyor belt 6. At the same time, the motor 4 used to drive the elliptical block 1 to rotate is operated by the controller 10, and combined with the conveyor belt offset detection module 7 to obtain the conveyor belt 6 offset data signal and send it to the controller 10, so as to realize the structure function of automatically adjusting the conveyor belt 6 for self-alignment and correction.
