Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chain plate cleaning devices, specifically to a cleaning device and conveying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A chain conveyor is a transmission device that uses standard chain plates as the bearing surface and is powered by a motor and reducer. A chain conveyor consists of a power unit, drive shaft, rollers, tensioning device, sprockets, chain, bearings, lubricant, and chain plates.

[0003] In tire manufacturing, the chain plates of a chain conveyor used to transport rubber materials are constantly immersed in a water tank. The chain conveyor requires cleaning of both the chain plates and the water tank every six months to remove the rubber residue adhering to the chain plate surface. The cleaning process necessitates the complete disassembly of the chain plates and their individual washing with a high-pressure water gun, while the water tank is manually scrubbed. This operation typically requires six people working together, takes a full day, and is labor-intensive and inefficient. Due to the long cleaning cycle and tedious process, it is difficult to consistently maintain the cleanliness of the water tank and chain plates, which can easily lead to a decline in water quality, thereby affecting the stability of the production process and product quality.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies need further development. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a cleaning device is provided; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 2 The system includes: a conveyor belt 1 to be cleaned, which is drivenly connected to a drive shaft 10 to move the conveyor belt 1; a cleaning component 2, which is movably arranged along the width direction of the conveyor belt 1 and is used to clean the conveyor belt 1; and a power transmission unit, which includes a power transmission assembly poweredly connected to the drive shaft 10 and a power conversion assembly connected to the power transmission assembly. The power conversion assembly converts the driving force of the drive shaft 10 into linear motion of the cleaning component 2 to drive the cleaning component 2 to move along the width direction of the conveyor belt.

[0022] Specifically, the conveyor belt 1 to be cleaned is used for material conveying during normal operation, and it maintains its drive connection with the drive shaft 10 during cleaning operations without needing to be disassembled, thus enabling online cleaning operations.

[0023] Specifically, the cleaning component 2 is movably configured to perform cleaning operations on the surface of the conveyor belt. Driven by the power transmission unit, the cleaning component 2 can move laterally relative to the conveyor belt and remove adhering substances through mechanical brushing or rinsing, avoiding the cumbersome process of traditional manual disassembly and cleaning, and realizing online and continuous cleaning of the conveyor equipment.

[0024] Specifically, the power transmission unit includes a power transmission assembly connected to the drive shaft 10 and a power conversion assembly connected thereto. The power transmission unit transmits and converts the rotational power output from the drive shaft 10. The power transmission assembly first receives the rotational motion from the drive shaft 10 and transmits it to the power conversion assembly. The power conversion assembly then converts the received rotational motion into the linear reciprocating motion required by the cleaning component 2, specifically a lateral movement along the width of the conveyor belt. Therefore, the cleaning device in this application does not require an additional independent power source, resulting in highly efficient energy utilization.

[0025] In the cleaning device of this embodiment, by setting up a cleaning component 2 and a power transmission unit, the rotational power of the drive shaft 10 is transmitted and converted through the power transmission component and the power conversion component to drive the cleaning component 2 to move along the width direction of the conveyor belt, thereby realizing online and automatic cleaning of the conveyor belt. This effectively solves the technical problem in related technologies that chain plate conveyors need to be stopped regularly, the chain plates need to be disassembled, and manual high-pressure washing is required. Through online continuous cleaning, not only is the cleaning time greatly shortened and the labor cost reduced, but the cleaning program can also be started at any time, effectively ensuring the cleanliness of the conveyor belt and the water tank and the water quality. This achieves automation and high efficiency of the cleaning operation, and solves the technical problem of poor chain plate cleaning efficiency in related technologies.

[0026] In the cleaning device of this embodiment, see Figure 1 The power conversion assembly includes a linear motion converter 31, the input shaft 311 of which is connected to the power transmission assembly, and the output shaft 312 of which is connected to the cleaning component 2. The input shaft 311 rotates around a first preset direction, and the output shaft 312 rotates around a second preset direction, wherein the first preset direction is perpendicular to the second preset direction.

[0027] By setting up a linear motion converter 31, the direction of power transmission is changed. The input shaft 311 receives rotational power from the power transmission component, and its rotation axis extends along a first preset direction, while the rotation axis of the output shaft 312 extends along a second preset direction perpendicular to it. While realizing power transmission, the direction of power transmission is changed, so that the power transmission path can adapt to the compact spatial layout inside the equipment, thereby improving the overall structural compactness of the device. In some embodiments, the first preset direction is parallel to the extension direction of the drive shaft 10, and the linear motion converter 31 converts the rotational motion around the drive shaft 10 into rotational motion around an axis perpendicular to the drive shaft.

[0028] Specifically, the linear motion converter 31 adopts a conventional structure in the prior art. For example, the power transmission direction can be changed internally through gear transmission or worm gear transmission. Its specific structure is well known in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] In the cleaning device of this embodiment, see Figure 1 The power conversion assembly includes a cam 32, one end of which is sleeved on the output shaft 312, and the other end of which is connected to the cleaning component 2.

[0030] By setting cam 32, the conversion from rotary motion to reciprocating linear motion is realized. When the output shaft 312 rotates around its axis under the action of power transmission, it drives cam 32 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation, the outer contour curve of cam 32 periodically pushes the cleaning component 2 connected to its other end, causing it to generate reciprocating linear motion along the width direction of the conveyor belt 1 to be cleaned, thereby effectively removing attachments such as sludge. The contour curve of cam 32 can be designed according to the motion law required by the cleaning component 2.

[0031] In the cleaning device of this embodiment, see Figure 1 The cleaning device includes a connecting rod 33, one end of which is rotatably connected to a cam 32, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to a cleaning component 2.

[0032] By setting the connecting rod 33 as a transmission medium, the oscillating or pushing / pulling motion of the cam 32 is transmitted to the cleaning component 2. The cam 32 and the connecting rod 33 together constitute a crank-slider mechanism. When the cam 32 rotates with the output shaft 312, its profile change pushes one end of the connecting rod 33 to produce a periodic oscillation. This oscillation is transmitted through the connecting rod 33 and converted into a reciprocating linear motion of the cleaning component 2 along the width direction of the conveyor belt 1 to be cleaned.

[0033] The two ends of the connecting rod 33 are connected by a rotating method, such as a hinge or a pin connection, which allows the connection point to rotate freely within a certain angle range.

[0034] In the cleaning device of this embodiment, see Figure 1 The power transmission assembly includes: a first transmission wheel 41, which is mounted on the transmission shaft 10; and a second transmission wheel 42, which is mounted on the input shaft 311 and is meshed with the first transmission wheel 41.

[0035] By mounting the first drive wheel 41 on the drive shaft 10 of the conveyor belt 1 to be cleaned, the rotational power of the conveyor belt during operation is directly obtained, eliminating the need for an additional independent motor or power source, thus achieving self-driven operation of the cleaning device. The second drive wheel 42 is mounted on the input shaft 311 of the linear motion converter 31 and meshes with the first drive wheel 41, transmitting the power of the drive shaft 10 to the subsequent power conversion components, ensuring that the cleaning component 2 can perform cleaning operations simultaneously with the operation of the conveyor belt.

[0036] In some embodiments, the meshing connection between the first transmission wheel 41 and the second transmission wheel 42 may be a gear meshing or a synchronous belt pulley meshing.

[0037] Preferably, the first transmission wheel 41 and the second transmission wheel 42 are transmission gears, and gear meshing is used between the first transmission wheel 41 and the second transmission wheel 42.

[0038] In the cleaning device of this embodiment, see Figure 1 An extension shaft 101 is mounted on one end of the drive shaft 10 near the linear motion converter 31, and a first transmission wheel 41 passes through the extension shaft 101. By setting the extension shaft 101 at the end of the drive shaft 10 near the power conversion assembly, the power output point is extended outward along the axial direction. After the extension shaft 101 is connected to the drive shaft 10, rotational power can be transmitted synchronously, solving the installation interference problem between the drive shaft 10 and the linear motion converter 31 caused by space limitations or structural layout. This optimizes the overall layout of the power transmission assembly and improves the compactness of the equipment structure.

[0039] In the cleaning device of this embodiment, see Figure 1 The cleaning component 2 includes: a roller brush 21 with bristles; and a roller brush shaft 22 extending along the width of the conveyor belt 1 to be cleaned. The roller brush 21 is mounted on the roller brush shaft 22, and one end of the roller brush shaft 22 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 33. By mounting the roller brush 21 on the roller brush shaft 22 extending along the width of the conveyor belt, the bristles can cover the entire transverse width of the conveyor belt 1 to be cleaned, ensuring that no area is missed during cleaning. One end of the roller brush shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 33. Driven by the connecting rod 33, the roller brush shaft 22 drives the roller brush 21 to reciprocate linearly along the width direction. The bristles contact the surface of the conveyor belt and generate relative friction, effectively removing adhering sludge and other contaminants.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The cleaning component 2 includes a rolling bearing 23, which is sleeved on the roller brush shaft 22. The outer surface of the bearing is connected to the inner wall of the roller brush 21. When the roller brush shaft 22 reciprocates linearly along the width direction under the drive of the connecting rod 33, the rolling bearing 23 allows the roller brush 21 to rotate freely in its own axial direction. This allows the brush bristles to rotate due to friction when they come into contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 1 to be cleaned, causing relative rotation between the roller brush and the conveyor belt 1 to be cleaned.

[0041] In the cleaning device of this embodiment, when the cleaning device is connected to the drive shaft 10, the cleaning device can be installed entirely on one side of the conveyor belt 1 to be cleaned, or above or below the conveyor belt 1 to be cleaned, for example... Figure 1 In the process, the cleaning device is set on one side of the conveyor belt 1 to be cleaned.

[0042] The cleaning device in this embodiment operates as follows: When the conveyor belt 1 to be cleaned is running normally under the drive of the drive shaft 10, the cleaning device starts working synchronously. The rotational power of the drive shaft 10 is transmitted to the first drive wheel 41 passing through it. The first drive wheel 41 is meshed with the second drive wheel 42, which is mounted on the input shaft 311 of the linear motion converter 31. Thus, the rotational motion of the drive shaft 10 is transmitted to the linear motion converter 31 via the power transmission assembly composed of the first drive wheel 41 and the second drive wheel 42.

[0043] The linear motion converter 31 converts the rotational motion received by the input shaft 311, and the rotation direction of its output shaft 312 is perpendicular to that of the input shaft 311. The output shaft 312 drives the cam 32 sleeved at its end to rotate. During the rotation, the cam 32 periodically pushes the connecting rod 33, causing the connecting rod 33 to reciprocate. The other end of the connecting rod 33 is rotatably connected to the roller brush shaft 22, converting the oscillating motion into the reciprocating linear motion of the roller brush shaft 22 along the width of the conveyor belt to be cleaned. As the roller brush 21 moves laterally with the roller brush shaft 22, its bristles rub against the surface of the running conveyor belt, generating its own rotation, thus realizing the brushing action.

[0044] In the cleaning device of this embodiment, the cleaning device includes a support frame, in which a linear bearing is installed, and the linear bearing is sleeved on the roller brush shaft 22. Specifically, the support frame is used to support the roller brush shaft 22, and the linear bearing is used to realize the flexibility of the linear movement of the roller brush shaft 22, so that the roller brush shaft 22 can realize reciprocating linear movement.

[0045] In the conveying device of this embodiment, the conveying device includes the cleaning device described above.

[0046] In the conveying equipment of this embodiment, a cleaning device including a cleaning component 2 and a power transmission unit is provided. The rotational power of the drive shaft 10 is transmitted and converted through the power transmission component and the power conversion component to drive the cleaning component 2 to move along the width direction of the conveyor belt. This achieves online and automatic cleaning of the conveyor belt in the conveying equipment, effectively solving the technical problem in related technologies that chain plate conveyors need to be stopped regularly, the chain plates need to be disassembled, and manual high-pressure washing is required. Through online continuous cleaning, not only is the cleaning time greatly shortened and the labor cost reduced, but the cleaning program can also be started at any time, effectively ensuring the cleanliness of the conveyor belt and the water tank and the water quality. This achieves automation and high efficiency of the cleaning operation, solving the technical problem of poor chain plate cleaning efficiency in related technologies.

[0047] When the conveying equipment of this embodiment is applied to the process of conveying rubber materials, the soaking water in the tank immersing the conveyor belt continuously circulates, carrying away contaminants such as sludge that have detached from the conveyor belt. The soaking water containing contaminants then enters a reverse osmosis purification device for treatment, removing impurities to obtain clean water, which is then pumped back to the tank for reuse. This closed-loop water circulation system effectively maintains the cleanliness of the soaking water in the tank, ensuring that the conveyor belt is always in a clean soaking environment during operation, thereby ensuring that the conveyed rubber material is not contaminated and improving product quality and the cleanliness of the production process.
