There are many types of mechanical transmission correction devices. The principle is that when the conveyor belt deviates from the theoretical center line of the belt conveyor, the axis of the roller of the correction device deflects at a certain angle around the center of rotation in the corresponding direction, thus creating a gap between the roller and the conveyor belt. A lateral friction force perpendicular to the running direction of the conveyor belt returns the conveyor belt to the correct position. From the overall structure point of view, the mechanical transmission correction device is divided into fixed type and rotary type.
①Fixed correction device. The fixed correction device mainly includes side spiral rollers, side retaining rollers and trough-shaped lower rollers. When the conveyor belt deviates, the squeezing force and rolling force are concentrated on the contact point between the vertical roller and the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt is corrected by hard contact. Its main disadvantages are: simple structure and inability to automatically adjust the correction force; the conveyor belt has large running resistance, serious wear and tear, and poor application effect.
②Rotary correction device. Rotary correction devices mainly include self-aligning rollers and frame-adjustable rotating rollers. When the conveyor belt deviates, it will be blocked by the vertical rollers on the side, causing the self-aligning roller frame to rotate. As the direction of roller friction changes, the offset conveyor belt can be controlled. Its advantages are: low cost; it can automatically adjust the correction force according to the degree of deviation, and is widely used. The disadvantages are: the work is unstable and will swing left and right; the conveyor belt has great running resistance, and it is easy to derail when the deviation is serious.
Specifications
Performance features:
1. Product features: high deviation correction accuracy. Since the device is equipped with a horizontal tie rod, it can effectively control the belt to run within 10MM of the centerline of the frame.
2. The correction effect is good. Compared with other mechanical correction and hydraulic correction devices, the more significant feature of this device is that it corrects the deviation a certain distance in advance, so that the roller mechanism can deflect at a smaller angle to achieve the ideal correction purpose, thus making the The belt wear is smaller and the correction effect is the better.
3. Flexible operation and no maintenance required. Since each rotating joint is designed with dry bearings, the device is not invaded by water, slime, dust and other materials, and requires simple installation without daily maintenance.
4. Reliable in use and long life. The device does not require any power drive, the operating mechanism is a low-motion pair, and the movement distance is short, so the device wears less and has a long service life.
5. Common parts, easy to replace
Application: Steel, metallurgy, coal, cement, power generation, ports and other industries.

Detection of deviation:
When the conveyor belt is running, any external factors (such as uneven materials, improper installation, etc.) may cause it to deviate from the center line. The key to the device is the ability to detect this deviation in time.
Deflection mechanism:
The roller system in the device (which can be divided into fixed and rotating types) will react to the deviation of the conveyor belt. When the deviation occurs, the roller deflects around its axis at a specific angle. For fixed devices, the deflection is applied to the conveyor belt through direct contact force; while the rotating device can automatically adjust its position to adapt to the deviation.
Friction generation:
As the roller deflects, a gap is formed between the conveyor belt. This gap causes friction between the roller and the conveyor belt perpendicular to the direction of the conveyor belt. The direction of this friction will push the deviated conveyor belt back to the center position.
Control mechanism:
Fixed deviation correction device: The conveyor belt is directly pushed back by lateral pressure. The advantage is simple structure, but the disadvantage is that the deviation correction force cannot be automatically adjusted, which may cause wear.
Rotary deviation correction device: Through the self-alignment mechanism, the position and angle of the rollers are automatically adjusted to adapt to the deviation of the conveyor belt by using the change of friction force, which has good flexibility and efficiency.
Deflection correction accuracy:
Many mechanical transmission deviation correction devices are equipped with horizontal connecting rods, which can accurately control the deviation of the conveyor belt, usually within 10mm, which is essential for protecting the conveyor belt and reducing wear.
Low maintenance characteristics:
The device is usually designed as a dry bearing to prevent the intrusion of water, sludge and dust, so the daily maintenance requirements are low. This feature reduces operating costs and improves the reliability of the equipment.
Service life:
Due to its simple structure, few moving parts, less equipment wear, and a longer overall service life. The design without electric drive also reduces the possibility of failure.
