2. Description of the Prior Art
A belt sander is widely used, such as wooden products, furniture, and so on. The surface of wood has to be processed appropriately by sanding and polishing through the belt sander to enhance the overall appearance and fine modification. However, a conventional belt sander uses fixing members to assemble or disassemble the parts of the belt sander. After a period of time, the belt sander suffers a lot of wear and tear. It is very complicated to replace the consumable and the parts. The operator may waste a lot of time. This influences the progress of the work and lowers the work efficiency greatly. After a period of time for use, the belt sander conveyer will be worn caused by sanding, running of the parts for a long time, and other factors, it is necessary to replace the belt sander conveyer. The replacement of the belt sander conveyer uses many fixing member to disassemble and assemble the parts. After replacing the belt sander conveyer, the parallel position of the belt sander conveyer and the tension of the conveyer must be adjusted through the fixing members. Therefore, the replacement and adjustment of the conventional belt sander conveyor often waste a lot of time in operation to reduce work efficiency.

The first adjustment member 221 and the second adjustment member 222 can be moved in the direction of the first axis 11, respectively. The first adjustment member 221 and the second adjustment member 222 are connected with a first elastic member 231 and a second elastic member 232, respectively. The first elastic member 231 and the second elastic member 232 are connected with a first turning shaft 24. A first distance is defined between the first adjustment member 221 and the first turning shaft 24. A first elasticity is stored toward the first turning shaft 24. The first elasticity is in the range of 20 kgw to 30 kgw. A second distance is defined between the second adjustment member 222 and the first turning shaft 24. A second elasticity is stored toward the first turning shaft 24. The second elasticity is in the range of 20 kgw to 30 kgw. One end of a first support rod 251 is inserted through the first adjustment member 221. Another end of the first support rod 251 is sleeved with the first elastic member 231 and connected with the first turning shaft 24. One end of a second support rod 252 is inserted through the second adjustment member 222.

The second turning shaft assembly 30 is disposed at the second section 112 of the conveying chassis 10. The second turning shaft assembly 30 is pivotally provided with a second turning shaft 31. The second turning shaft 31 is connected with a motor 32 to bring the second turning shaft 31 to turn.
The abrasive belt 40 is fitted on the first turning shaft 24 and the second turning shaft 31.
When it is necessary to replace the belt sander conveyer, the first adjustment member 221 and the second adjustment member 222 are selectively screwed in the adjustment seats 21 by the operator to release the forces pressing the first shaft seat 261 and the second shaft seat 262 biased by the first elastic member 231 and the second elastic member 232, namely, to release the tension of the abrasive belt 40. Thus, the operator can disassemble and replace the abrasive belt 40 easily.
After replacement of the abrasive belt 40, the first adjustment member 221 and the second adjustment member 222 are selectively screwed out of the adjustment seats 21 so that the first shaft seat 261 and the second shaft seat 262 are biased by the first elastic member 231 and the second elastic member 232 again. After that, the first adjustment member 221 and the second adjustment member 222 are adjusted respectively, such that the first adjustment member 221 or the second adjustment member 222 is selectively screwed in or out of the adjustment seat 21, namely, the prestressing forces of the first elastic member 231 and the second elastic member 232 to press against the first shaft seat 261 and the second shaft seat 262 can be adjusted so as to adjust the relative position of the first turning shaft 24 and the second turning shaft 31. The belt sander conveyer can be adjusted, and the tension of the abrasive belt 40 can be adjusted accordingly.
Through the adjustment of the first adjustment member 221 as well as the second adjustment member 222, the relative position of the first turning shaft 24 and the conveying chassis 10 can be adjusted quickly and the parallel orientation of the first turning shaft 24 and the second turning shaft 31 can be adjusted accordingly, such that the tension of the abrasive belt 40 can be adjusted quickly to reduce the time for replacement of the belt sander conveyer and to enhance the work efficiency. Besides, through the adjustment of the first adjustment member 221 as well as the second adjustment member 222, the precision of the belt sander conveyer can be adjusted finely to improve the processing precision of the belt sander conveyer to the workpiece and the quality of the product.
