Conveyor Belt Joint Knife Layout for Faster Steel Cord Separation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The separation of steel cord cores from the glue layer at conveyor belt joints is labor-intensive and time-consuming, especially when dealing with conveyor belts of long lengths.
Innovation Solution
A separation device equipped with a mount, a cutting mechanism with knives arranged along the width of the conveyor belt, and a conveying mechanism that moves the conveyor belt joint site along the knives, allowing for efficient separation of the steel cord cores from the glue layer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the glue layer is cut off in sequence along each steel cord core, then the separation can be completed, but the labor intensity is high and time consumption is long
Solution Approach 1:
The knife is divided into multiple cutting edges (first cutting edge, second cutting edge, third cutting edge) arranged along the width direction of the conveyor belt, allowing simultaneous cutting of multiple steel cord cores in parallel, thereby dramatically improving separation speed and reducing labor intensity
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple cutting functions are merged into a single knife structure that can cut off the glue layer along all steel cord cores simultaneously in one operation, converting sequential cutting into parallel processing to resolve the contradiction between productivity and labor intensity
2Productivity
If the conveyor belt is long, then the transport capacity is high, but the separation time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The knife is segmented into multiple cutting edges arranged along the width direction, enabling simultaneous cutting of multiple steel cord cores across the entire conveyor belt width, thereby reducing separation time proportionally to the number of cutting edges while maintaining high transport capacity
Solution Approach 2:
The conveying mechanism continuously moves the conveyor belt through the cutting mechanism, allowing uninterrupted separation operation along the entire length of the conveyor belt, maximizing productivity while minimizing idle time
