Measures to prevent deviation of Conveyor Belts

With the rapid development of industrial production, conveyor belts are increasingly used in the production process. As a key equipment on the production line, the conveyor belt's stability and reliability are directly related to production efficiency and product quality. However, in the actual production process, conveyor belt deviation occurs from time to time, causing great trouble to production. This article will conduct a detailed analysis and discussion of the anti-deviation measures for conveyor belts.

Causes of conveyor belt deviation

Conveyor belt deviation refers to a certain deviation between the center line of the conveyor belt and the axis of the roller during operation. The main reasons for conveyor belt deviation are as follows:

1. Uneven material distribution: When the material distribution on the conveyor belt is uneven, the lateral force exerted by the material on the conveyor belt will cause the conveyor belt to deviate.

2. Improper installation of the idler: The idler is an important component that supports the operation of the conveyor belt. If the idler is not installed correctly, it will cause uneven stress on the conveyor belt, resulting in deviation.

3. Quality issues of the conveyor belt itself: The quality of the conveyor belt itself will also affect its operational stability. For example, poor elasticity, tensile strength and other properties of the conveyor belt can easily lead to deviation.

4. The conveyor belt joints are not strong: The strength and stiffness of the conveyor belt joints are relatively low. If the joints are not handled properly, deviation may easily occur.

5. Insufficient or excessive tension of the conveyor belt: The tension of the conveyor belt has a great impact on its operational stability. Insufficient or excessive tension will cause the conveyor belt to deviate.

Measures to prevent deviation

In view of the above reasons that cause the conveyor belt to deviate, we can take the following measures to prevent the conveyor belt from deviating:

1. Optimize material distribution: During the production process, materials should be distributed evenly on the conveyor belt as much as possible to avoid deviations caused by uneven material distribution. Optimization of material distribution can be achieved by adjusting the material placement position and adding baffles.

2. Install the idler correctly: When installing the idler, ensure that its axis is perpendicular to the center line of the conveyor belt, and the idler groups must maintain good parallelism. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly check the rotation of the rollers and replace seriously worn rollers in a timely manner.

3. Choose high-quality conveyor belts: When purchasing conveyor belts, you should choose products with reliable quality and excellent performance. The elasticity, tensile strength and other performance indicators of the conveyor belt must meet the usage requirements to ensure its operational stability.

4. Strengthen joint treatment: The joints of the conveyor belt should be strengthened to ensure the strength and stiffness of the joints. Professional joint glue can be used for bonding to improve the stability of the joint. At the same time, the condition of the joints should be checked regularly to detect and deal with problems in a timely manner.

5. Control the tension: Properly controlling the tension of the conveyor belt can effectively prevent deviation. The tension should be adjusted according to the length, load and other factors of the conveyor belt. During use, the working condition of the tensioning device should be checked regularly and the tensioning force should be adjusted in a timely manner.

Application of anti-deviation technology

In order to improve the anti-deviation effect of conveyor belts, a variety of advanced anti-deviation technologies are used in modern industrial production, such as automatic aligning rollers, hydraulic self-aligning rollers, electronic anti-deviation devices, etc. The application of these technologies can effectively improve the operational stability of the conveyor belt and ensure the smooth progress of the production process.

1. Automatic self-aligning roller: The automatic self-aligning roller is a roller that can automatically adjust the perpendicularity between the axis and the centerline of the conveyor belt. When the conveyor belt deviates, the self-aligning roller will automatically adjust its position to restore the conveyor belt to normal operation. This kind of roller has the characteristics of fast response speed and high adjustment accuracy, which can effectively prevent the conveyor belt from deviation.

2. Hydraulic self-aligning roller: Hydraulic self-aligning roller is a roller that uses hydraulic principles to adjust the verticality of the axis and the center line of the conveyor belt. When the conveyor belt deviates, the hydraulic self-aligning roller will automatically adjust its position according to the offset of the conveyor belt to restore the conveyor belt to normal operation. This kind of roller has the characteristics of large adjustment range and fast adjustment speed, and is suitable for anti-deviation applications on large-scale production lines.

3. Electronic anti-deviation device: The electronic anti-deviation device is a device that uses electronic sensors and control systems to prevent conveyor belts from deviation. When the deviation trend of the conveyor belt is detected, the electronic anti-deviation device will immediately send out a signal and adjust the position or tension of the idler through the control system to restore the conveyor belt to normal operation. This device has the characteristics of fast response and high adjustment accuracy, and is suitable for production lines with high requirements for preventing deviation.

Anti-deviation measures for conveyor belts are of great significance to ensure the smooth progress of the production process. By optimizing and improving material distribution, roller installation, conveyor belt quality, joint processing and tension, as well as using advanced anti-deviation technology, the occurrence of conveyor belt deviation can be effectively prevented and production efficiency improved. and product quality.
