Abstract

A scraper conveyor chain tensioning device having a sweeping function, comprising a transmission device ( 2 ), a steering chain wheel ( 3 ), scraper chains ( 4 ), and ledges ( 5 ), wherein a chain tensioning device ( 1 ) is arranged above the scraper chains ( 4 ) arranged at the side of the steering chain wheel ( 3 ), the chain tensioning device ( 1 ) is provided with a sweeping device ( 12 ), the chain tensioning device ( 1 ) comprises a slider-crank mechanism and two chutes ( 13 ) symmetrically fixed to the ledges ( 5 ) on two sides at an inclined angle, a tensioning shaft ( 19 ) is arranged between the two chutes ( 13 ), the tensioning shaft ( 19 ) is arranged on a bearing seat ( 18 ) via a bearing, and the middle part of the tensioning shaft ( 19 ) is provided with a tensioning chain wheel ( 11 ) matching with a transmission chain; and the sweeping device ( 12 ) comprises a tensioning shaft sleeve ( 12 - 3 ), a plurality of groups of sweeping heads ( 12 - 2 ) is arranged on the circumference of the tensioning shaft sleeve ( 12 - 3 ) at intervals, and the sweeping heads ( 12 - 2 ) are fixed to the tensioning shaft sleeve ( 12 - 3 ) via springs ( 12 - 1 ). Caking coal on a scraper can be swept via scraping teeth on sweeping heads ( 12 - 2 ), the problems of friction, chain jumping and jamming caused by the caking coal on the scraper are solved, the scraper conveyor chain tensioning device is applicable to a middle double-chain scraper conveyor, the change on an original scraper conveyor is small, and pure mechanical transmission is adopted, thereby being simple in mechanism, convenient to assemble and disassemble, and reliable in operation.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A scraper conveyer chain tensioning device having a sweeping function, comprising:
a transmission device disposed at a tail end of a scraper conveyer;
a steering sprocket configured to be driven by the transmission device;
scraper chains configured to be meshed with the steering sprocket at the tail end of the scraper conveyer and configured to be steered along with the rotation of the steering sprocket;
two ledges;
a chain tensioning device disposed above the scraper chains at a side of the steering sprocket; and
a sweeping device on the chain tensioning device,
wherein the chain tensioning device comprises:
a slider-crank mechanism,
two chutes connected to and each respectively protruding inward from the two ledges at an inclination angle, symmetrically,
one tensioning shaft disposed between the two chutes and mounted via a bearing on a bearing seat, and
a tensioning sprocket configured to be meshed with the scraper chains, and disposed on the middle part of the tensioning shaft;
wherein the slider-crank mechanism comprises:
two link rods,
a crank,
a welded rod, and
two sliders,
wherein one end of each respective link rod is hinged to a shaft shoulder at a side of the tensioning shaft and the other end of each respective link rod is hinged to the crank,
wherein the crank is rigidly fixed via one cross rod and extends out of the two ledges via arc grooves of the two ledges, and
wherein the crank is hinged to the welded rod via two longitudinal rods connected to the cross rod, the two ends of the welded rod are fixed to the two chutes respectively, wherein each slider of the two sliders is disposed in one chute of the two chutes respectively, and
wherein each slider of the two sliders is wedged to a bearing seat, respectively that the respective bearing seat and the slider are fixed in relation to each other;
wherein the sweeping device comprises:
a tensioning shaft sleeve arranged on two sides of the tensioning sprocket, the tensioning shaft sleeve connected to the tensioning shaft via a key joint,
a plurality sweeping heads respectively arranged at an interval on the circumference of and protruding outward from the tensioning shaft sleeve, and
wherein each sweeping head of the plurality of sweeping heads is respectively fixed via a spring to the tensioning shaft sleeve.

2. The scraper conveyer chain tensioning device having a sweeping function according to claim 1 , wherein plurality sweeping heads are arranged in 4-8 groups of sweeping heads, and wherein each respective group of sweeping heads consists of 2-4 sweeping heads.

3. The scraper conveyer chain tensioning device having a sweeping function according to claim 1 , wherein, scraping teeth are disposed on each respective sweeping head of the plurality of sweeping heads.
