In the above-mentioned technical solution, when the belt 413 is tightened, the two rotating rollers 541 are respectively in contact with the two belts 413. The purpose of the roller 541 arranged outside the belt tensioning block 54 is: since the belt 413 is continuously rotated during operation, if the belt 413 is directly tightened by the belt tightening block 54 without the rotating roller 541, the friction force between the belt 413 and the belt tightening block 54 is very large, which may not only damage the belt 413, but also cause a very large resistance when the belt 413 rotates, and therefore, the inventor intends to provide the rotating roller 541 on the outer side of the belt tightening block 54 to reduce the friction resistance.

Preferably, the rotating rod 541 is made of a rigid material.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 4, the number of the belt transmission assemblies 41 is four, and the four belt transmission assemblies 41 are sequentially ordered into a first group, a second group, a third group and a fourth group; the number of the second chain wheels 422 is three, the three second chain wheels 422 are respectively installed on the first belt pulleys 411 of the second group, the third group and the fourth group of belt transmission assemblies 41, and the first chain wheel 421 is installed on the first belt pulley 411 of the first group of belt transmission assembly 41; the number of belt tensioners 5 is two and one belt tensioner 5 is arranged between the belts 413 of the first and second sets of belt drive assemblies 41 and the other belt tensioner 5 is arranged between the belts 413 of the third and fourth sets of belt drive assemblies 41.

Because the temperature of the tea roasting environment is usually higher, under the condition of long-term work, the belt below the roasting equipment can be loosened, and because the lower part of the roasting equipment is provided with a plurality of belts, the loosening condition can be generated on each belt, so that after the long-term work, all the belts need to be replaced, or each belt needs to be tensioned. In the process of tensioning, the inventor considers that one device can be designed to simultaneously tension two adjacent belts, so that the number of belt tensioning devices can be reduced, and the operation time consumption of tensioning the belts can be reduced without tensioning one by one. Based on this, the inventors have devised the belt tensioner of the present invention.
It should be noted that: because the tea leaf baking equipment does not belong to high-precision equipment, the belt only needs to meet the requirement of transferring kinetic energy, and does not need to have high precision, when the belt is tightened, whether the belt is tightened or not can be observed only by naked eyes, the tightening degree of the belt does not need to be measured by a tool, the belt cannot be greatly influenced if the belt is slightly tightened or loosened, and the kinetic energy can be smoothly transferred as long as the belt cannot slip.
The working principle of the invention is as follows:
because the screw 52 is provided with two threads with different rotation directions, namely the positive thread 521 and the negative thread 522, and the two movable blocks 52 are respectively connected to the positive thread 521 and the negative thread 522 in a threaded manner, when the screw 52 rotates, the two movable blocks 52 either move in opposite directions or move in opposite directions; here, when the setting screw 52 rotates in the clockwise direction, the two movable blocks 52 move toward each other, and when the setting screw 52 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the two movable blocks 52 move away from each other;
when the belt is loosened and needs to be tensioned, a worker can use a wrench to clamp a hexagon nut 57 arranged on the lower end of the screw 52 and then rotate the wrench clockwise to enable the screw 52 to rotate clockwise; in the process, the two movable blocks 52 move towards each other, and in the moving process, the inclined surface of the movable block 52 pushes the inclined surface of the belt-tensioning block 54, so that the two belt-tensioning blocks 54 gradually extend to the outer side of the housing 51 (see fig. 9-11), and when the belt-tensioning block 54 continues to extend outwards after the rotary roller 541 contacts the belt 413, the rotary roller 541 gradually presses the belt 413 to tighten the loosened belt 413, see fig. 5, 12 and 13;
after a certain period of operation, if the belt 413 is loosened again, the worker can rotate the screw 52 clockwise again by using the wrench, so that the two belt tensioning blocks 54 continue to extend outwards, and the rotating roller 541 tensions the belt 413 again. The belt 413 can be tightened again each time the belt 413 is loosened in such a reciprocating way until the service life of the belt 413 is ended;
after the service life of the belt 413 is ended, when a new belt 413 needs to be replaced, the screw 52 can be rotated anticlockwise by a wrench, so that the two movable blocks 53 move backwards; in the process, under the action of the tensile force of the spring 56, the two belt-tensioning blocks 54 retract into the housing 51 (the retracted state can be seen in fig. 6-8), and when the two belt-tensioning blocks 54 retract to the extreme position, the used belt 413 can be taken off and replaced by a new belt 413; after a period of time, if the new belt 413 is loosened, the wrench can rotate the screw 52 clockwise to tighten the belt 413.
