Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a suitable tail cleaner for a belt conveyor that allows easy replacement of the tail cleaner rubber. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, raw materials such as ore, cement, coal, and coke are transported in powder or granular form by belt conveyors, but adhesion of the transported raw materials to the belt surface is an unavoidable phenomenon. This phenomenon can also be seen on the return belt surface of the belt conveyor shown in Figure 1, where materials spilling from the material inlet adhere to the return belt and get caught in the rotating tail pulley, which can lead to damage or breakage of the tail pulley.
[0003] For this reason, it is common practice to provide a tail cleaner to remove material adhering to the return side belt surface of the belt conveyor shown in Figure 1.
[0004] One type of tail cleaner of this type is the scraper type shown in Figure 1, which is fixed to the return side of the belt conveyor and presses a scraper against the belt to scrape off any material adhering to it.
[0005] 2 and 3 are diagrams showing a conventional scraper type belt cleaner.
[0006] The conventional tail cleaner shown in Figure 2 mainly uses tail cleaner rubber 002 in the scraper, and the tail cleaner rubber (002) adheres closely to the conveyor belt to provide sufficient scraping effect. Because it rubs against the conveyor belt and wears out, it needs to be replaced before the tail cleaner rubber 002 runs out.
[0007] However, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the tail cleaner rubber 002 has a plurality of holes drilled therein and is fixed with mounting bolts 004. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0008] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2001-114417 (paragraphs 0001 to 0011, representative drawings) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0009] As shown in Figure 2, conventional tail cleaners for belt conveyors serve the purpose of scraping off adhering materials. However, the process of installing the tail cleaner rubber 002 requires cutting the tail cleaner rubber 002 to the required size, drilling holes in 8 to 10 places, and fastening with bolts. Therefore, because replacement is time-consuming, replacement of the tail cleaner rubber 002 is neglected, which results in problems such as the tail cleaner rubber 002 being worn out and the main frame 001 coming into contact with the conveyor belt, damaging the conveyor belt, or the main frame 001 being worn out and broken by contact with the belt conveyor, getting caught in the tail pulley and damaging the tail pulley.
[0010] The gist of the present invention is as follows.
[0011] In a tail cleaner for a belt conveyor having a main body frame and a clamping member, a tail cleaner rubber is sandwiched between the main body frame and the clamping member.
[0012] The clamping member is constructed by using a round steel bar as part of the clamping member described above.
[0013] In a V-shaped tail cleaner for a belt conveyor consisting of two sides, one clamping member is configured on the frame of one side.
[0014] In a V-shaped tail cleaner for a belt conveyor consisting of two sides, two clamping members are configured on the frame of one side.
[0015] In the present invention, the main body frame (FIG. 5) and the clamping member (FIG. 6) have a mechanism that allows the tail cleaner rubber 02 (FIG. 4) to be clamped, eliminating the need for drilling holes in the tail cleaner rubber 02 (FIG. 4).
[0016] Furthermore, by clamping the tail cleaner rubber 02 (FIG. 4) with the round steel bars of the clamping member (FIG. 6), the number of fixing points can be reduced. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0018] 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 show an embodiment of a tail cleaner according to the present invention.
[0019] As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the main body frame and the clamping member constitute a portion where the tail cleaner rubber is clamped between the main body frame and the clamping member.
[0020] As shown in FIG. 7, the tail cleaner is configured by arranging the main body frame (FIG. 5) in a V-shape and using the clamping member (FIG. 6).
[0021] As shown in FIG. 8, the tail cleaner is configured by arranging the main body frame (FIG. 5) in a straight line and using the clamping member (FIG. 6).
[0022] As shown in FIG. 9, the tail cleaner is configured by arranging the main body frame (FIG. 5) in an arch shape and using the clamping member (FIG. 6).
[0023] The method of clamping the tail cleaner rubber 02 in Fig. 4 using the clamping members of
[0019] to
[0022] is as follows: when the mounting bolt 06 in Fig. 4 is shifted in direction A with a tightening tool, the clamping member in Fig. 6 is attracted and the tail cleaner rubber 02 in Fig. 4 is clamped between the main body frame in Fig. 5; when it is shifted in direction B, the clamping member in Fig. 6 is released from the main body frame in Fig. 5, allowing removal of the tail cleaner rubber 02. In addition, the positioning member 07 in Fig. 4 acts as a stopper in determining the mounting height of the tail cleaner rubber 02 in Fig. 4.
