Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of industrial production equipment technology, specifically to a conveyor and conveying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The crushing section of a physical mineral processing plant is the core of ore processing. After crushing, the ore is transported by conveyors, which typically consist of multiple conveyor belts. Adjacent conveyor belts are designated as upper and lower levels, respectively, allowing material to be transferred from the upper to the lower level. During production, if the lower conveyor belt malfunctions while the upper conveyor belt continues to operate, material will accumulate on the upper belt. This not only increases the workload of cleaning up the accumulated material but also prolongs the cleaning time, impacting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

Unless otherwise specified, the terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0019] This embodiment provides a conveyor and a conveying device. The conveying device is used to transport ore after crushing in the crushing section of a physical mineral processing workshop. The conveyor is the conveying line of the device. Of course, in other embodiments, the conveying device can also be used to transport other items, which is not limited here. Example 1

[0020] See Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor 100 provided in this embodiment includes an upper-level conveying component 10, a first lower-level conveying component 20, a branch conveying component 30, a spare conveying component 40, and an interlocking component 50.

[0021] The upper conveying assembly 10 is used to convey materials, which are crushed ore. Therefore, the upper conveying assembly can convey materials by directly connecting to the crushing section.

[0022] The first lower-level conveying component 20 is located downstream of the upper-level conveying component 10, and the first lower-level conveying component 20 is used to receive the materials conveyed by the upper-level conveying component 10.

[0023] Both the branch conveying component 30 and the standby conveying component 40 are located downstream of the first lower-level conveying component 20, so that the branch conveying component 30 and the standby conveying component 40 form a parallel connection. The branch conveying component 30 is used to receive the material conveyed by the first lower-level conveying component 20, and the standby conveying component 40 is used to receive the material conveyed by the first lower-level conveying component 20. Thus, the material conveyed by the first lower-level conveying component 20 can be conveyed through the branch conveying component 30 and the standby conveying component 40 respectively.

[0024] The branch conveying component 30 and the standby conveying component 40 can work simultaneously to share the material conveyed by the first lower-level conveying component 20, or they can work separately to convey the material conveyed by the first lower-level conveying component 20 in the event of a failure of one of them, thus avoiding material accumulation.

[0025] In this embodiment, the interlocking component 50 is electrically connected to the upper-level conveying component 10, the first lower-level conveying component 20, the branch conveying component 30, and the standby conveying component 40. The interlocking component 50 is used to control the upper-level conveying component 10, the first lower-level conveying component 20, the branch conveying component 30, or the standby conveying component 40 to open sequentially in the upstream to downstream direction. Alternatively, the interlocking component 50 is used to control the branch conveying component 30 or the standby conveying component 40, the first lower-level conveying component 20, and the upper-level conveying component 10 to close sequentially in the downstream to upstream direction.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, the upstream to downstream direction is the material conveying direction, which can also be considered as the conveying direction of two adjacent conveying components. Conversely, the downstream to upstream direction is the opposite direction. Material is conveyed by the upper-level conveying component 10 and then to the first lower-level conveying component 20. The first lower-level conveying component 20 then conveys the material to the branch conveying component 30 or the standby conveying component 40. The interlocking component 50 can control the opening of the upper-level conveying component 10 along this conveying direction, and then control the opening of the first lower-level conveying component 20. After the first lower-level conveying component 20 is opened, it controls the opening of the branch conveying component 30 or the standby conveying component 40, thus forming an upstream and downstream opening mode. Conversely, the interlocking component can control the closing of the first lower-level conveying component 20 along the opposite direction of material conveying, and after the first lower-level conveying component 20 is closed, it controls the closing of the upper-level conveying component 10. With this configuration, when a downstream conveying component (e.g., the first lower-level conveying component 20) malfunctions and causes a shutdown, the upstream conveying component (e.g., the upper-level conveying component 10) can be shut down via the interlocking component 50. This prevents the upstream conveying component from continuously conveying materials, thus avoiding material accumulation and further reducing the time and labor costs of cleaning, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0027] In this application, the branch conveyor assembly 30 and the standby conveyor assembly 40 can transport the material conveyed by the first lower-level conveyor assembly 20 to the final location for collection or further processing. Alternatively, the material conveyed by the branch conveyor assembly 30 and the standby conveyor assembly 40 can be transported together in a recirculation manner. See also Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor 100 provided in this embodiment also includes a converging conveyor assembly 60, which is located downstream of the branch conveyor assembly 30 and the standby conveyor assembly 40. The converging conveyor assembly 60 is used to receive materials conveyed by the branch conveyor assembly 30 and the standby conveyor assembly 40. The interlocking assembly 50 is also electrically connected to the converging conveyor assembly 60. The interlocking assembly 50 is used to control the opening of the converging conveyor assembly 60 after controlling the opening of the branch conveyor assembly 30 or the standby conveyor assembly 40 in the upstream-to-downstream direction, and to control the closing of the converging conveyor assembly 60 after controlling the closing of the branch conveyor assembly 30 or the standby conveyor assembly 40 in the downstream-to-upstream direction. This prevents material accumulation caused by the branch conveyor assembly 30 or the standby conveyor assembly 40 continuing to convey materials to the converging conveyor assembly 60 when the converging conveyor assembly 60 malfunctions and stops.

[0028] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the branch conveying component 30 and the standby conveying component 40 can simultaneously convey materials to the return conveying component 60. Thus, after the interlocking component 50 controls the closing of the confluence conveying component 60, it controls the branch conveying component 30 and the standby conveying component 40 to close simultaneously.

[0029] The first lower-level conveying component 20 receives the material conveyed by the upper-level conveying component 10. When there is a large amount of material, another conveying component is needed to share the load. Therefore, the conveyor 100 provided in this embodiment also includes a second lower-level conveying component 70. The second lower-level conveying component 70 is located downstream of the upper-level conveying component 10 and is used to receive the material conveyed by the upper-level conveying component 10. The interlocking component 50 is also electrically connected to the second lower-level conveying component 70. The interlocking component 50 is also used to control the opening of the upper-level conveying component 10, simultaneously controlling the opening of the first lower-level conveying component 20 and the second lower-level conveying component 70. When the second lower-level conveying component 70 and the branch conveying component 30 are opened simultaneously, the interlocking component 50 controls the opening of the converging conveying component 60. Alternatively, the interlocking component 50 controls the closing of the standby conveying component 60 while simultaneously closing the second lower-level conveying component 70 and the branch conveying component 30. When the first lower-level conveying component 20 and the second lower-level conveying component 70 are closed simultaneously, the interlocking component 50 controls the closing of the upper-level conveying component 10.

[0030] In the case where the second lower-level conveying component 70 and the branch conveying component 30 are not in operation, the interlocking component 50 can activate the return conveying component 60 by activating the backup conveying component 40.

[0031] In this embodiment, multiple second-level conveying components 70 are provided, and the multiple second-level conveying components 70 are arranged sequentially from upstream to downstream. The interlocking component 50 is used to control the multiple second-level conveying components 70 to open sequentially from upstream to downstream, or to close sequentially from downstream to upstream, so as to form a situation where opening the upstream second-level conveying component 70 allows the downstream second-level conveying component 70 to be opened, and closing the downstream second-level conveying component 70 closes the upstream second-level conveying component 70.

[0032] Among them, the second lower-level conveying component 70 in the simultaneous activation of branch conveying component 30 and second lower-level conveying component 70 is the most downstream second lower-level conveying component 70 among multiple second lower-level conveying components 70, that is... Figure 1 The second lower-level conveyor assembly 70 is located on the far right.

[0033] In this embodiment, after the material is conveyed by the confluence conveyor assembly 60, it can be processed for the next step. See [link to previous section]. Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor 100 provided in this embodiment also includes an execution component 80, which is located downstream of the confluence conveying component 60. The execution component 80 is used to receive and process the materials conveyed by the confluence conveying component 60.

[0034] Among them, the execution component 80 can be a vibrating material machine, which vibrates and screens the crushed ore material being conveyed.

[0035] In actual production, there can be one or multiple ore crushing stations. Multiple crushing stations can significantly improve production efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to transport the ore from each crushing stage to the upstream conveying assembly 10. (See [reference]). Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor 100 provided in this embodiment further includes at least two upper-level branch conveying assemblies 90, which are located upstream of the upper-level conveying assembly 10 and are used to convey materials to the upper-level conveying assembly 10. The interlocking assembly 50 is also electrically connected to the at least two upper-level branch conveying assemblies 90. The interlocking assembly 50 is also used to control the upper-level conveying assembly 10 to open after controlling at least one of the at least two upper-level branch conveying assemblies 90 to open in the upstream-to-downstream direction, and to control the at least two upper-level branch conveying assemblies 90 to close synchronously in the downstream-to-upstream direction, thereby preventing material accumulation in the upper-level branch conveying assemblies 90.

[0036] See Figure 2As shown, the interlocking assembly 50 includes an interlocking circuit 51 and multiple control switches 52. The multiple control switches 52 are electrically connected to the upper-level branch conveying assembly 90, the upper-level conveying assembly 10, the first lower-level conveying assembly 30, the second lower-level conveying assembly 70, the branch conveying assembly 30, the standby conveying assembly 40, and the convergence conveying assembly 60, respectively. The interlocking circuit 51 is electrically connected to the multiple control switches 52 and is used to provide control signals for opening or closing to the control switches 52.

[0037] In this circuit, control switch 52 can be a relay. Interlocking circuit 51 controls control switch 52 (connected to the upper-level branch conveyor component 90) to open the upper-level branch conveyor component 90, and then controls control switch 52 (connected to the upper-level conveyor component 10) to open the upper-level conveyor component 10, thus achieving a control method where the upstream conveyor component opens and the downstream conveyor component opens. Conversely, interlocking circuit 51 controls control switch 52 (connected to the upper-level conveyor component 10) to close the upper-level conveyor component 10, and then controls control switch 52 (connected to the upper-level branch conveyor component 90) to close the upper-level branch conveyor component 90, thus achieving a control method where the downstream conveyor component closes and the upstream conveyor component closes. The control methods between other conveyor components are the same as the opening and closing control methods between the upper-level branch conveyor component 90 and the upper-level conveyor component 10, and will not be described further here.

[0038] If the conveyed material has a certain viscosity, it is easy for the material to stick to the conveying component when the upstream conveying component is shut down at the same time as the downstream conveying component fails. To address this, the interlocking component 50 also includes multiple delay units 53. The multiple delay units 53 are electrically connected between two adjacent control switches 52. The multiple delay units 53 are used to delay the closing of the upstream control switch 52 after the downstream control switch 52 is closed, so that the conveying component corresponding to the upstream control switch 52 can continue to convey material for a period of time.

[0039] For example, when the upper-level conveying component 10 fails, the upper-level branch conveying component 90 is controlled to shut down after a delay by a timer 53 connected between the control switch 52 connected to the upper-level conveying component 10 and the control switch 52 connected to the upper-level branch conveying component 90. Of course, the time of the delay can avoid the time of material conveying to the upper-level conveying component 10, or only a small amount of material is conveyed.

[0040] To determine the operating status of the control switch 52, the interlocking assembly 50 also includes multiple status indicator lights 54. These status indicator lights 54 are electrically connected to the control switches 52 respectively, and are used to indicate the operating status of the control switches 52. For example, when the control switch 52 controls the upper-level conveyor assembly 10 to open, the status indicator light 54 electrically connected to the control switch 52 displays green; when the control switch 52 controls the upper-level conveyor assembly 10 to close, the status indicator light 54 electrically connected to the control switch 52 displays red. This provides an indication for the user, facilitating observation of the operating status of the control switches 52.

[0041] In the above embodiments, the upper branch conveying component 90, the upper conveying component 10, the first lower conveying component 30, the second lower conveying component 70, the branch conveying component 30, the spare conveying component 40, and the confluence conveying component 60 are preferably conveyor belts in the form of belts. Example 2

[0042] This embodiment provides a conveying device, including the conveyor 100 of the above embodiment, and also includes a power supply for providing electrical energy to the conveyor 100 to ensure the operation of the device.

[0043] In summary, the conveyor and conveyor provided by this utility model can shut down the upstream conveyor component when the downstream conveying component fails, by controlling the upstream conveyor component to avoid material accumulation caused by the upstream conveyor component continuously conveying materials, thereby further reducing the time and labor costs of cleaning and improving production efficiency.

[0044] The above-described specific examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the concept of this invention.
