The turning of conveyor belts is usually achieved through the following methods:
- Bend turning method: When manufacturing bends, calculate the radius and turning angle of the bend based on the design requirements of the conveyor belt. It may be necessary to add support plates and support the bends to ensure that the conveyor belt turns smoothly on the bends. one
- Turning drum method: Install a turning drum in the conveyor belt and change the direction of the conveyor belt through the action of the drum. The selection of the turning drum needs to consider factors such as the width, speed, and torque of the conveyor belt.
- Lateral compression method: Install oil cylinders at both ends of the conveyor belt, and control the compression and extension of the oil cylinders to achieve the turning of the conveyor belt. This method consumes a lot of energy and is not very common.
- Mechanical turning: The conveyor belt is bent through a mechanical device, with a large number of wheels and a large space required, resulting in a relatively narrow application range. two
- Pressing plate type turning: The conveyor belt is bent by pressing plates to reduce equipment costs, but it is prone to wear and friction, which affects the service life of the conveyor belt.
- Lightweight segmented turning: The conveyor belt is divided into multiple parts and turned through connectors, widely used in the manufacturing and logistics industries.
- Directional drum turning method: After bending the conveyor belt to a certain angle, the material is turned through the directional drum. three
The turning of the conveyor belt can be achieved manually or automatically. Manual steering is usually achieved through manual operation, while automatic steering is achieved through an automatic control system composed of motors, reducers, and steering devices. The steering device usually consists of a transmission shaft, side plate, torque support device, torque traction device, and transmission mechanism.
