Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of belt conveyor sidewall technology, and in particular to a sidewall for belt conveyors. Background Technology

[0002] In the material handling processes of industries such as mining, metallurgy, and grain processing, belt conveyors are the core equipment for achieving continuous transportation. As a key component of the conveyor, the performance of the sidewalls directly affects the stability and efficiency of material handling. The main function of the sidewalls is to prevent bulk materials (such as ores, grains, and coal) from falling off during the conveying process due to belt tilting, vibration, or turning, thereby reducing material loss (the material drop rate of traditional sidewallless conveyors can reach 5% to 10%). At the same time, it also prevents fallen materials from polluting the working environment (the labor cost of cleaning up fallen materials accounts for more than 15% of the conveyor's operation and maintenance costs). The existing sidewalls used in belt conveyors have several drawbacks. Firstly, because they are mostly fixed, rigid structures, they cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the type, size, and conveying angle of the materials. Secondly, when conveying small, irregularly shaped, or easily rolling materials, the materials tend to slip off the sides of the conveyor belt, causing waste, potentially affecting the normal operation of the conveyor, and even posing a potential threat to the safety of nearby operators. Therefore, these technical problems need to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0013] 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.

[0014] Example: See Figure 1-5 This utility model discloses a sidewall for a belt conveyor, comprising a fixed plate 12 fixedly connected at equal intervals and multiple support columns 1 fixedly connected at equal intervals to the lower end of the fixed plate 12. A placement plate is horizontally fixed between the support columns 1 at one end, and a driving mechanism is installed on the upper end of the placement plate. Connecting plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the fixed plate 12, and a conveying mechanism is rotatably installed between the connecting plates. Blocking mechanisms are mounted on both sides of the conveying mechanism, and a tilting adjustment mechanism is mounted on the blocking mechanism. The basic frame is constructed by the fixed plate 12 and the support columns 1, and with the cooperation of the driving mechanism, conveying mechanism, blocking mechanism, and tilting adjustment mechanism, it is easy to realize... The belt conveyor provides material conveying and blocking guidance. The conveying mechanism includes rotating rollers rotatably mounted between connecting plates at both ends. A conveyor belt 2 is fitted onto the rotating rollers at both ends, and a pulley is fixedly connected to one end of each rotating roller. The continuous conveying of materials is facilitated through the rotating rollers, conveyor belt 2, and pulley between the connecting plates. The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 5 bolted to the upper end of a mounting plate. A drive pulley is coaxially fixed to the output end of the drive motor 5. A transmission belt is fitted between the drive pulley and the pulley. The drive motor 5, drive pulley, and transmission belt on the mounting plate provide power to the conveying mechanism.

[0015] In this utility model, the blocking mechanism includes a rotating rod 11 rotatably mounted between fixed plates 12. A positioning plate 3 is vertically mounted on the rotating rod 11. Gear rings 8 are equidistantly mounted on the positioning plate 3 around the rotating rod 11. A rubber plate 4 is mounted on the upper end of the positioning plate 3 by fixing bolts 6. The rotating rod 11, positioning plate 3, gear rings 8, and rubber plate 4 between the fixed plates 12 facilitate blocking of materials on the conveyor belt. A support plate 7 is horizontally fixed between the fixed plates 12. The support plate 7 is located below the conveyor belt 2. The support plate 7 between the fixed plates 12 facilitates support of the conveyor belt 2 and installation of the tilting adjustment mechanism. The tilting adjustment mechanism includes an electric telescopic rod 10 equidistantly fixed to the lower end of the support plate 7. A stabilizing plate is threaded to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 10. A rack 9 is vertically fixed to one side of the stabilizing plate. The rack 9 meshes with the gear rings 8. The blocking angle of the blocking mechanism is easily adjusted by the electric telescopic rod 10, stabilizing plate, and rack 9 at the lower end of the support plate 7.

[0016] Working Principle: In use, the drive motor 5 is first started, which drives the active pulley to rotate via the output end. Then, the transmission belt drives the pulley at one end of the rotating roller to rotate. The rotating roller rotates synchronously, causing the sleeved conveyor belt 2 to circulate, thus forming a continuous conveying channel. The material to be conveyed is then placed on the conveyor belt 2, allowing the material to move forward with the conveyor belt 2. The support plate 7 provides support for the conveyor belt 2, preventing it from sagging due to excessive weight. In the initial state, the positioning plate 3 maintains a certain tilt angle under the action of the flipping adjustment mechanism, and the rubber plate 4 at the upper end of the positioning plate 3 is located on both sides of the conveyor belt 2, forming side guards to prevent the material from slipping off the conveyor belt 2 during the conveying process. The edge is not broken, and the rubber plate 4 is elastic, which can reduce hard collisions with materials and avoid material breakage or edge wear. When conveying materials of different sizes or shapes, by activating the electric telescopic rod 10, the output end pushes the stabilizing plate to move up and down, driving the rack 9 to rise and fall synchronously. Since the rack 9 and the gear ring 8 on the positioning plate 3 mesh with each other, the rise and fall of the rack 9 will drive the gear ring 8 and the rotating rod 11 to rotate, thereby causing the positioning plate 3 to flip around the rotating rod 11, changing the tilt angle and height of the rubber plate 4. Thus, when conveying larger materials, the angle of the positioning plate 3 is increased and the height of the rubber plate 4 is increased to enhance the blocking effect. When conveying smaller materials, the angle of the positioning plate 3 is decreased and the height of the rubber plate 4 is reduced to reduce unnecessary resistance.

[0017] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
