After the adjustment is completed, the connecting bolt 222, the locking bolt 133, and the fastening bolt 143 are tightened.

Example 3

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, since the side surface of the belt faces the input end, the belt is prone to deviation when goods are continuously input to the belt, so that in this embodiment, on the basis of the above embodiment, wear-resistant shafts 3 are respectively arranged on two sides of the belt 21, the wear-resistant shafts 3 are rotatably arranged on the bracket 1 and keep a distance from and close to the corresponding side of the belt 21, and the wear-resistant shafts 3 are driven to rotate and limit the belt 21 to continue deviation when contacting with the side surface of the belt 21.

When the belt 21 deviates under the action of external force, the structure can be blocked by the wear-resistant shaft 3 so as not to continuously deviate, thus effectively limiting the deviation distance of the belt 21 and avoiding damage caused by unlimited deviation of the belt 21.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, in order to prevent the wear-resistant shaft 3 from protruding above the upper horizontal segment 211 of the belt 21, the wear-resistant shaft 3 is located at two sides of the lower horizontal segment or the lower inclined segment 212, and the axis of the wear-resistant shaft 3 is perpendicular to the lower horizontal segment or the lower inclined segment 212. Preferably, each side of the belt 21 is provided with two wear-resistant shafts 3, and the two wear-resistant shafts 3 correspond to the two lower-layer inclined sections 212 of the belt 21 respectively.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the wear-resistant shaft 3 is fixed on the inner side of the bracket 1 through two bearings with seats 4. Because the wear-resistant shaft 3 is in contact with the belt 21 and rubs against each other, the wear-resistant shaft 3 needs to have better wear resistance to prolong the service life, and the wear-resistant shaft 3 is preferably made of high-carbon chromium bearing steel (SUJ 2), which is wear-resistant and has high hardness, and can effectively meet the long-term use under the condition of smaller contact area between the belt 21 and the wear-resistant shaft 3. Meanwhile, the pedestal bearing 4 adopts a high-speed bearing so that the wear-resistant shaft 3 can follow the height of the belt 21 without affecting the running of the belt 21.

As shown in fig. 7, after the belt 21 deviates, the material is continuously abraded with the wear-resistant shaft 3, which is obviously unfavorable for prolonging the service life, correspondingly, the two conveying rollers 22 of the conveying mechanism 2 are tapered rollers, the directions of the small-diameter ends of the two conveying rollers 22 are opposite, when the belt 21 deviates, the tapered rollers can apply a bias force to the belt 21, the belt is slowly deviated, and meanwhile, the two tapered rollers with opposite directions can also effectively limit the deviation of the belt 21. Further, the taper of the conveying roller 22 is 1 ° ± 0.2 °.

As shown in fig. 8, in order to avoid the wear-resistant shaft 3, a certain space needs to be reserved between the roller body of the conveying roller 22 and the two side plates 11 of the bracket 1, a certain gap exists between the corresponding belt 21 and the two side plates 11, wherein a part of the gap is blocked by the support pallet 12, the gap on the two sides of the support pallet 12 is not blocked, and the seal plates 5 located on the two sides of the support pallet 12 and having the height equivalent to the top surface of the belt 21 are arranged between the side plates 11 of the bracket 1 and the belt 21, so that the entry of goods into the gap can be effectively avoided, and the seal plates 5 can be connected with the support pallet 12 and/or the side plates.

Example 4

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, since the first conveyor 120 is nearly perpendicular to the conveying direction of the goods on the separating belt conveyor 130, and for some flexible goods, a situation that the material is jammed between the conveyor and the separating belt conveyor 130 may occur, in this embodiment, a transition roller 150 is further disposed between the separating belt conveyor 130 and the first conveyor 120, the transition roller is rotatably disposed on a roller frame 151, and the roller frame 151 is fixed on both sides of the supporting plate 122 of the first conveyor 120. So that the transition roller 150 can effectively isolate the first conveyor 120 from the separating belt conveyor 130.

Example 5

The included angle between the two triangular faces 162 and the isosceles trapezoidal face 161 is an obtuse angle not less than 135 °. Such design makes to have the difference in height between the feed end of feeding slope 160 and the discharge end, can make the goods have certain slope landing process to a certain extent when the goods passes through, can make the goods landing of its top when the goods inclines to the goods that make and pile up can separate. Meanwhile, the design of the feeding slope 160 can reduce the power of the goods conveyed to the separation belt conveyor 130 to a certain extent, thereby reducing the impact on the belt and preventing the belt 21 from deviating to a certain extent.

The lower end of the triangular face 162 engages a rectangular face 165, the rectangular face 165 being adapted to engage the equipment at the front end to avoid gaps.
