Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sugarcane production and processing technology, and specifically relates to an automatic cleaning chain plate device for sugarcane conveyor belts. Background Technology

[0002] The sugarcane chain plate chain faces the problem of sugarcane residue adhesion and blockage during operation. The residue mainly comes from the sugarcane pretreatment and pressing process: the sugarcane is first cut into 20-30 cm sections by a sugarcane cutter, and then further torn and crushed by a shredder to destroy the fiber structure. After entering the pressing unit, the huge squeezing force of three or more pressing rollers will further break the sugarcane fibers, and some extremely fine residue will splash out from the gaps in the pressing machine.

[0003] The high-sugar sugarcane juice flowing from the press is highly viscous, acting like "natural glue" to adhere flying debris to the surface of the chain, the chain itself, the gaps between the chain plates, and the rollers. Sugarcane fibers are highly absorbent and easily entangled; once stuck to the viscous juice, they accumulate and form a thick layer. The chain, constructed from hinged metal chain plates, has numerous gaps, hinge points, and dead angles. This adhesion and blockage can lead to a series of serious consequences for production. The heavy deposits increase the chain's running resistance, causing motor overload and increased energy consumption. In severe cases, the chain can jam on the track, leading to chain breakage or motor overload shutdown. However, stopping the machine for cleaning not only affects production progress but also poses safety hazards when cleaning the hard, adhered sugarcane bagasse.

[0004] Therefore, an automatic cleaning device for sugarcane conveyor belts is needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic cleaning device for sugarcane conveyor belts. This device uses arranged steel wire ropes that contact the chain plates and chains to scrape off sugarcane debris, preventing excessive accumulation of debris that could affect the chain's operation. The specific technical solution is as follows: An automatic cleaning chain plate device for a sugarcane conveyor belt is installed on the frame of the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt includes a chain and chain plates. An array of chain plates is installed on the chain. The device includes a support frame, a support tube, clamps, a first clamping bolt, and steel wire ropes. The support frame is installed on both sides of the frame. Both ends of the support tube are connected to the support frame. The clamps are installed on the support tubes by the first clamping bolts, which are used to adjust the distance between the clamps and the support tubes. The steel wire ropes are arranged along the array of support tubes between the clamps and the support tubes. The steel wire ropes are fixed by the squeezing and friction between the clamps and the support tubes. One end of each steel wire rope is in contact with the bottom of the chain plate and the chain.

[0006] Preferably, the system further includes an adjustment unit, which comprises a limiting rod, a first adjusting bolt, a second clamping bolt, and a stop rod. Two limiting rods are symmetrically installed on each side of the support frame. The limiting rods are perpendicular to the support frame and one end is connected to the support frame. The gap between the two limiting rods forms a guide groove. The other end of the limiting rods is jointly installed with a stop rod. Both ends of the support tube are slidably installed in the guide groove. The first adjusting bolt is installed on the support frame and one end is perpendicularly abutting against the bottom of the support tube. The second clamping bolt is installed on the limiting rod and one end is perpendicularly abutting against the side wall of the support tube.

[0007] Preferably, the device also includes a collection tray and a discharge pipe. The collection tray is mounted on the frame and located below the wire rope. One end of the discharge pipe is connected to the collection tray, and the collection tray is inclined toward the discharge pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the wire rope is perpendicular to the bottom of the chain plate.

[0009] Preferably, the length of the support tube and the clamping plate is greater than the width of the chain plate.

[0010] Preferably, the ends of adjacent wire ropes that contact the chain plate abut against each other.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping plate is composed of multiple fixing plates, which are mounted on the support pipe by a first clamping bolt array. The wire rope is located between the fixing plates and the support pipe and is fixed by the squeezing friction between the fixing plates and the support pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the sidewall of the support tube is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves in an array, a second adjusting bolt is installed at the bottom of the support tube, and one end of the second adjusting bolt is rotatably connected to the inner sidewall of the support tube. A sliding plate is threaded onto the second adjusting bolt. The sliding plate is located inside the support tube and slides with the sliding groove and extends outside the sliding groove. A pressure plate is installed on the part of the sliding plate outside the support tube. The first clamping bolt is sleeved with the fixing plate and passes through the fixing plate. One end of the first clamping bolt is fixedly connected to the pressure plate. The wire rope is located between the fixing plate and the pressure plate.

[0013] Preferably, the sidewalls of the fixing plate and the pressure plate that are close to each other are provided with multiple arc grooves, and the axis of the arc grooves is perpendicular to the chain plate. The arc grooves are used to position the wire rope.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model uses a support pipe and clamping plate to fix the wire rope to the frame. The wire rope contacts the back of the chain plate and the chain, thereby scraping off the sugarcane residue adhering to the chain plate and chain, preventing the sugarcane residue from accumulating on the chain plate and chain, and preventing the sugarcane residue from obstructing the conveyor belt operation. The wire rope also has high hardness and good elasticity, allowing for efficient cleaning of the chain plate and chain while continuous use for several months.

[0015] 2. This utility model adjusts the height of the wire rope through an adjustment unit. After the wire rope has been used for a period of time, it will wear out. In order to prevent the wire rope from failing to contact the chain plate and chain, the first adjusting bolt can be adjusted to raise the support rod and ensure that the wire rope has full contact with the chain plate and chain.

[0016] 3. This utility model, by dividing the clamping plate into multiple fixed plates, allows for the individual replacement of the wire ropes on each fixed plate, thereby improving maintenance efficiency. Simultaneously, the wire ropes on each fixed plate can be individually adjusted, ensuring sufficient contact and appropriate pressure between each wire rope and the chain plate and chain, even when different levels of wear occur, thus guaranteeing a stable cleaning effect.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Next reference Figures 1 to 5 The working principle of this embodiment will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can better understand this utility model: Example 1 In the sugarcane juicing process, the conveyor belt 1 is generally used to transport the cut sugarcane segments to the pressing device. The conveyor belt 1 includes a chain 3 and chain plates 4. Multiple chain plates 4 are mounted on the chain 3 by an array of bolts. The automatic cleaning device for the chain plates 4 of the sugarcane conveyor belt 1 is bolted to the frame 2 of the conveyor belt 1. Support frames 5 are bolted to both sides of the frame 2, and the two ends of the support pipe 6 are connected to the support frames 5. The clamping plate 7 is mounted on the support pipe 6 by the first clamping bolt 8. The first clamping bolt 8 is fitted with a nut, which is used to adjust the distance between the clamping plate 7 and the support pipe 6. The support pipe 6 has a square cross-section, so its sidewalls are flat, which can provide a large contact area for the steel wire rope 9, thereby providing support and friction. Multiple steel wire ropes 9 are arranged in an array along the support pipe 6 between the clamping plate 7 and the support pipe 6. The steel wire ropes 9 are fixed by the squeezing friction between the clamping plate 7 and the support pipe 6. One end of the steel wire rope 9 contacts the bottom of the chain plate 4 and the chain 3, thereby scraping off the sugarcane residue attached to the chain plate 4 and the chain 3, preventing the sugarcane residue from accumulating on the chain plate 4 and the chain 3, and preventing the sugarcane residue from obstructing the operation of the conveyor belt 1. The steel wire ropes 9 also have high hardness and good elasticity, which allows them to efficiently clean the chain plate 4 and the chain 3 while being used continuously for several months.

[0026] The adjustment unit includes a limiting rod 10, a first adjusting bolt 11, a second clamping bolt 12, and a stop rod 13. Two limiting rods 10 are symmetrically installed on each side of the support frame 5. The limiting rods 10 are perpendicular to the support frame 5, and one end is bolted to the support frame 5. The gap between the two limiting rods 10 forms a guide groove 14. The other end of the limiting rods 10 is bolted to a stop rod 13, which prevents the support tube 6 from disengaging from the guide groove 14. Both ends of the support tube 6 are slidably installed in the guide groove 14. The first adjusting bolt 11 is installed on the support frame 5, and one end is perpendicularly abutting against the bottom of the support tube 6. The first adjusting bolt 11 is threadedly connected to the support frame 5. When the first adjusting bolt 11 is rotated, it moves along its own axis. The second clamping bolt 12 is installed on the limiting rod 10, with one end perpendicularly abutting against the side wall of the support tube 6. The second clamping bolt 12 and the limiting rod 10 are threaded together. When the second clamping bolt 12 is rotated, it moves along its own axis. After the wire rope 9 has been used for a period of time, it will wear out. To prevent the wire rope 9 from failing to contact the chain plate 4 and the chain 3, the first adjusting bolts 11 at both ends of the support tube 6 can be adjusted. By rotating the first adjusting bolts 11, the support rod is raised, ensuring full contact between the wire rope 9 and the chain plate 4 and the chain 3. The second clamping bolt 12 is used to fix the support rod laterally, restricting its lateral movement by squeezing the support tube 6, thereby ensuring the stability of the support tube 6 and thus ensuring the cleaning effect of the wire rope 9.

[0027] The collection tray 15 is bolted to the frame 2 and is located below the wire rope 9. It is used to collect the sugarcane scraps scraped off by the wire rope 9. One end of the discharge pipe is connected to the collection tray 15, and the other end is connected to the collection box. The collection tray 15 is tilted towards the discharge pipe. The sugarcane scraps falling on the collection tray 15 will move towards the discharge pipe under the guidance of gravity and the tilt of the collection tray 15, and then enter the discharge pipe. Finally, they enter the collection box for centralized collection and subsequent processing.

[0028] The wire rope 9 is perpendicular to the bottom of the chain plate 4. When the wire rope 9 contacts the chain plate 4 and the chain 3, it does not generate a component force along the forward direction of the chain plate 4, ensuring the pressure of the wire rope 9 on the chain plate 4 and the chain 3, thus guaranteeing the cleaning effect. The length of the support pipe 6 and the clamping plate 7 is greater than the width of the chain plate 4, and the wire rope 9 is evenly distributed on the support pipe 6. Therefore, the length of the wire rope 9 on the support pipe 6 is also greater than the width of the chain plate 4. Thus, the wire rope 9 can thoroughly clean the bottom of the chain plate 4 and the chain 3, ensuring the cleaning effect. The ends of adjacent wire ropes 9 that contact the chain plate 4 abut against each other without gaps, achieving comprehensive cleaning of the chain plate 4 and the chain 3 and reducing the residue of sugarcane debris.

[0029] Example 2 The clamping plate 7 consists of multiple fixing plates 71, which are not connected to each other. The fixing plates 71 are mounted on the support pipe 6 via an array of first clamping bolts 8. Nuts are installed on the first clamping bolts 8, and the distance between the fixing plates 71 and the support pipe 6 is adjusted by engaging the nuts. A steel wire rope 9 is located between the fixing plates 71 and the support pipe 6, and is fixed by the friction between the fixing plates 71 and the support pipe 6. Because the fixing plates 71 are not connected to each other, the steel wire rope 9 on each fixing plate 71 can be replaced individually without disassembling the entire clamping plate 7, thus improving the maintenance efficiency of this invention.

[0030] Multiple sliding grooves 16 are arrayed on the side wall of the support pipe 6. A second adjusting bolt 17 is installed at the bottom of the support pipe 6, and one end of the tail of the second adjusting bolt 17 is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the support pipe 6. The axis of the second adjusting bolt 17 is parallel to the direction of movement of the support pipe 6 in the guide groove 14. A sliding plate 18 is threaded onto the second adjusting bolt 17. The sliding plate 18 is located inside the support pipe 6 and fits against the inner side wall of the support pipe 6, so it cannot rotate. The sliding plate 18 slides with the sliding groove 16 and extends outside the sliding groove 16. When the second adjusting bolt 17 is rotated, the sliding plate 18 will move along the axis of the second adjusting bolt 17. A pressure plate 19 is welded to the part of the sliding plate 18 outside the support pipe 6. A first clamping bolt 8 is sleeved with a fixing plate 71 and passes through the fixing plate 71. A nut is installed on the first clamping bolt 8. The nut restricts the movement of the fixing plate 71 on the first clamping bolt 8, and the nut applies pressure to clamp the wire rope 9 between the fixing plate 71 and the pressure plate 19. One end of the first clamping bolt 8 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 19, and the wire rope 9 is located between the fixed plate 71 and the pressure plate 19. Through the cooperation of the second adjusting bolt 17 and the sliding plate 18, the wire rope 9 on each fixed plate 71 can be adjusted individually. When the wire rope 9 shows different wear patterns, the second adjusting bolt 17 on a single fixed plate can be finely adjusted. This ensures that each wire rope 9 is in full contact with the chain plate 4 and the chain 3, and maintains appropriate pressure, guaranteeing a stable cleaning effect. This avoids the need to adjust the height of the overall support pipe 6, and prevents excessive compression between some wire ropes 9 and the chain 3 and chain plate 4, which could affect the operation of the conveyor belt 1.

[0031] Multiple arc-shaped grooves 20 are provided on the side walls of the fixed plate 71 and the pressure plate 19 that are close to each other, and the axis of the arc-shaped grooves 20 is perpendicular to the chain plate 4. Since the wire rope 9 is cylindrical, the arc-shaped grooves 20 can better fit with the surface of the wire rope 9 to increase the contact area and friction. At the same time, the arc surface of the arc-shaped grooves 20 can also limit the movement of the wire rope 9 to both sides of the gap between the fixed plate 71 and the pressure plate 19 to ensure the stability of the wire rope 9.

[0032] The following is an exemplary usage of this utility model: Before the conveyor belt is started, the steel wire rope 9 is arranged between the support pipe 6 and the clamping plate 7. Then, the clamping plate 7 and the support pipe 6 are pressed together by the first clamping bolt 8 and the nut to fix the steel wire rope 9. The installed support pipe 6 is passed through the middle gap of the conveyor belt, and both ends of the support pipe 6 are placed into the guide groove 14. The first adjusting bolt 11 is rotated to observe whether the steel wire rope 9 is in full contact with the chain plate 4 and the chain 3. The second clamping bolt 12 is adjusted to limit the lateral movement of the support pipe 6. Finally, the conveyor belt can be started. Through the relative friction between the conveyor belt and the steel wire rope 9, the steel wire rope 9 will scrape off the sugarcane residue on the chain plate 4 and the chain 3. The scraped sugarcane residue will fall into the collection tray 15 and finally be guided into the collection box by the discharge pipe. When the steel wire rope 9 is worn, the height of the support pipe 6 can be adjusted by adjusting the first adjusting bolt 11 to ensure that the steel wire rope 9 is in full contact with the chain plate 4 and the chain 3.
