Wherein the output end is extendable and retractable relative to the fixed end. The telescopic movement of the output end drives the moving cart 22 to move. Alternatively, the driving mechanism 23 includes an electric motor, a rotary gear, and a rack gear. The rotating gear is sleeved on a motor rotating shaft of the motor and is in interference fit with the motor rotating shaft, and the rotating gear is meshed with the rack. The rotating gear is driven to rotate forwards and backwards through the forward rotation and the backward rotation of the rotating shaft of the motor, so that the rack can move towards two opposite directions. The rack is the output end of the driving mechanism 23, and the motor is the fixed end of the driving mechanism 23. Of course, the driving mechanism 23 may have another structure as long as it can drive the moving vehicle 22 to move.

The moving vehicle 22 is located between the first steering wheel 211 and the driving mechanism 23, and the first steering wheel 211 is located between the frame 12 and the moving vehicle 22.

The conveyor belt 11 is a circular belt or an adhesive tape, and at least a part of the conveyor belt 11 is turned by the first turning wheel 211 and is sleeved on the second turning wheel 221. The first diverting pulley 211 is located outside the conveying belt 11, and the second diverting pulley 221 is located inside the conveying belt 11.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the frame 12 extends obliquely upward, the tension adjusting mechanism 2 is located below the frame 12, and the first steering wheel 211 is mounted on the support bracket 21. The frame 12 has a first end and a second end, the second end being positioned above the first end. The driving roller 14 is arranged at the first end part, the driven roller 15 is arranged at the second end part, and the conveying belt 11 is sleeved on the driving roller 14 and the driven roller 15.

The tension adjusting mechanism 2 is used for adjusting the tension degree of the conveying belt 11 so that the conveying belt 11 works normally. The specific adjustment process of the tension adjustment mechanism 2 is as follows.

As shown in fig. 1, the conveyor 1 is disposed at a distance from the tension adjusting mechanism 2, and the conveyor 1 is located on the left side of the tension adjusting mechanism 2. At least a part of the conveyor belt 11 is fitted over the second diverting pulley 221, and the conveyor belt 11 is typically a rubber belt having a certain elasticity. When the worker checks that the conveyor belt 11 is too tight, the friction between the conveyor belt 11 and the idler 13 or the driving roller 14 is too large. The output end of the driving mechanism 23 is operated by the worker to extend leftward, so that the output end pushes the traveling vehicle 22 to move leftward. The moving vehicle 22 moves to the left and drives the second turning wheel 221 to move to the left, so that the conveying belt 11 is loosened, and the friction between the conveying belt 11 and the carrier roller 13 or the driving roller 14 is reduced. When the worker checks that the conveyor belt 11 is too loose, the friction between the conveyor belt 11 and the idler 13 or the drive roller 14 is too small. The output end of the driving mechanism 23 is operated by the worker to retract to the right, so that the output end pulls the vehicle 22 to the right. The second turning wheel 221 is driven by the moving vehicle 22 moving rightwards, so that the conveying belt 11 is tensioned, and the friction force between the conveying belt 11 and the carrier roller 13 or the roller is increased.

The embodiment of the utility model discloses belt conveyor equipment 10, including conveyer 1 that has conveyer belt 11 and the tensioning adjustment mechanism 2 that is used for adjusting conveyer belt 11. The tension adjusting mechanism 2 comprises a moving vehicle 22, a first steering wheel 211 for steering the conveyor belt 11, a second steering wheel 221 mounted on the moving vehicle 22, and a driving mechanism 23 for driving the moving vehicle 22 to move. The moving vehicle 22 is located between the first steering wheel 211 and the driving mechanism 23, and the output end of the driving mechanism 23 is connected to the moving vehicle 22. At least a portion of the conveyor belt 11 diverted by the first diverting pulley 211 is fitted over the second diverting pulley 221. The operator operates the driving mechanism 23 to control the moving vehicle 22 to drive the second steering wheel 221 to move, and the tension of the conveyor belt 11 is adjusted by moving the second steering wheel 221. So more convenient control for the tensioning degree of conveyer belt 11 adjusts more accurately.

The chain block device 32 is generally used for transporting objects, and has the characteristics of safety, reliability, simple and convenient maintenance, high mechanical efficiency, small tension of a hand chain, light self weight, portability, attractive appearance, small size and durability.

The fixed seat 31 is fixedly installed between the moving cart 22 and the driving mechanism 23, and the chain block device 32 is connected to the fixed seat 31. After the tension degree of the conveyor belt 11 is adjusted, the worker fixes the anti-slip chain 321 of the chain block device 32 to the moving cart 22, and adjusts the length of the anti-slip chain 321, so that the chain block device 32 tensions the moving cart 22. Thus, when the driving mechanism 23 is suddenly disengaged from the vehicle 22, the chain block device 32 can still pull the vehicle 22 and keep the vehicle 22 still. When the driving mechanism 23 is normally connected with the moving cart 22, the chain block device 32 also bears partial tension of the moving cart 22 on the driving mechanism 23, so that damage to the driving mechanism 23 caused by excessive tension of the moving cart 22 is avoided.

The rail 4 extends from the drive mechanism 23 in the direction of the carriage 22, and the wheels 222 are in clearance fit with the rail 4, so that the wheels 222 are positioned on the rail 4 and can roll on the rail 4. Optionally, two rails 4 are spaced below the moving cart 22, and two sets of wheels are disposed below the frame, each set having two wheels 222. The wheel set is disposed between the two rails 4, and the two wheels 222 in the same wheel set are respectively in contact with the two rails 4. The arrangement of the rails 4 defines the moving track of the moving vehicle 22, so that the moving vehicle 22 moves smoothly.
