摘要:
The invention provides a curved belt support apparatus (300) that prevents a curved belt (200) from moving inward by supporting a thick part (220) of the curved belt that thickens in both vertical directions at the outer edge of the belt. An upper roller (370) is brought in contact with the upper inside surface (221) of the thick part (220), a lower guide roller (380) is brought in contact with the lower guide roller (380) is brought in contact with the lower inside surface (222) of the thick part (200), and the upper and lower guide rollers are elastically supported such that they can move up and down. When operated, the upper guide roller (370) and the lower guide roller (380) are moved diagonally upward and downward, respectively, in the direction of the radial inner edge of the curved belt so that the thick part (220) of the belt is released from the upper and lower guide rollers.

A conveyor for transporting a workpiece from a first position to a second position along a curved path. The conveyor includes side members including a plurality of individual members arranged adjacent one another and allowing for such that individual members may move in a longitudinal direction relative to adjacent individual members to change the overall length of the side member. The side members are interconnected through use of slots and fasteners such that the slots in adjacent individual members are offset to allow for longitudinal adjustment between the adjacent members. Such adjustment results in an adjustable flexible conveyor enabling the conveyor to be adjustable in either direction along a particular curved path or configuration.

Apparatus for transporting discrete objects or bulk goods from a first station at a first level to a second station at a second level, which may but need not be above or below the first level, has an endless belt conveyor which is trained about pulleys at the two stations and has an upper reach which is braced from below by a table and defines a straight horizontal or a hilly path for the commodities. The marginal portions of the belt, at least in the region of the upper reach, are guided by pairs of idler rollers whose axes are inclined relative to each other. The rollers are mounted in bearing units which, in turn, are adjustably coupled to elongated bases of a frame.

A deviating station for a handling arrangement has a plurality of supporting rollers arranged on a supporting frame in groups so as to form a plurality of supporting points for a movable band conveyor element and a movable cover band element of the arrangement, and a shape-variable roller holder which is arranged to support the supporting rollers of at least some of the supporting points of at least one of the movable elements and follows the movement of the band conveyor element and the cover band element.

An endless, laterally flexible and bendable belt conveyor particularly adapted for coal mining applications in facilitating the transport of the extracted coal up- or downslope and around corners in a continuous manner is disclosed. The conveying means includes a flat rubber belt reinforced along the middle portion thereof along which the major portion of the belt tension is directed so as to cause rotation of the tubular shaped belt when trammed around lateral turns thus preventing excessive belt bulging distortion between adjacent belt supports which would inhibit belt transport. Pretension induced into the fabric reinforced flat rubber belt by conventional belt take-up means supports the load conveyed when the belt conveyor is making lateral turns. The carrying and return portions of the belt are supported and formed into a tubular shape by a plurality of shapers positioned along its length. Each shaper is supported from above by a monorail and includes clusters of idler rollers which support the belt. Additional cluster rollers in each shaper permit the belt supporting roller clusters to rotate in response to the belt's operating tension imposed upon the cluster rollers by induced lateral belt friction forces. The freely rotating roller clusters thus permit the belt to twist on lateral curves without damage to itself while precluding escape of the conveyed material by effectively enclosing it in the tube-shaped, inner belt transport length.

A part of the arcuate guides for the hinged belt (13) of the conveyor consists of solid curved pieces (247, 270) which are fastened releasably to parts of the conveyor frame. In the region of the drive station, guide plates (35; 299) which are fastened to the side pieces (17, 18; 220) are assigned to the empty side of the hinged belt. A U-shaped baseplate (20; 232) is connected with its upwardly projecting legs, to the side pieces (17, 18; 220). If the conveyor is a lifting conveyor with a lower and an upper horizontal longitudinal section as well as with a longitudinal section which is directed obliquely upwards, the arcuate guides consist of curved crosspieces (33, 34; 276, 294) which extend between the side pieces (17, 18; 220), in the region of the mutually angled longitudinal sections. The lower and middle longitudinal sections of the conveyor can each be connected partly by means of a welded-in gusset plate, the inner sides, lying opposite one another, of the gusset plates (265) and of adjacent side pieces (220) being welded to the curved crosspiece (276). The baseplate (20; 232) leaves an intervention opening (47) free in the region of the drive station (M). Reversing drums (37; 240) for the hinged belt (13) are located at the reversing station (U). A spring element (66) which smooths out changing tensile stresses is adjustable together with the drive unit when the hinged belt (13) is tensioned. The abovementioned features permit a compact construction, resistant to warping and to bending, of the conveyor, together with a long life. The invention also relates to a process for manufacturing the conveyor.

A conveyor for transporting articles placed in series thereon includes a conveyor track of extruded high density polyethylene having an upwardly opening inverted T-shaped longitudinal slot therein and an endless conveyor chain slidably engaged in the slot with integral chain tabs extending laterally outwardly into lateral slot recesses from selected links of the conveyor chain so as to retain the chain against lateral, vertical or torsional displacement with respect to the slot. The conveyor chain projects above the opening of the slot to support the conveyed articles and bears on an upstanding central rib on the slot bottom and, through its tabs, on the lateral recess bottoms. Convergent notches in corresponding ends of successively end-abutted track members making up the track guide the chain tabs into the slot recesses without interference from track member end faces due to slight misalignment of track members. A chain drive mechanism drives the chain in a continuous loop along the conveyor track and along a return path underneath the track.

A conveyor belt curve comprising two rows of rollers for deflecting or turning an endless conveyor belt. The roller rows each consist of a number of cylindrical rolls. The conveyor belt is driven by means of a driven chain through the agency of chain fixed-entrainment members or elements. The chain is guided within guide rails for the upper and lower chain runs, these guide rails determining the curvature of the curved portion of the conveyor belt curve. The entrainment elements contain rolls or rollers rollingly supported at the guide rails. The endless conveyor belt is held in a tensioned state by means of special tension springs. These springs are formed of an elastomeric material and have a preferred loop-shaped configuration.

A belt conveyor comprising an endless conveyor belt driven by a drive and having an upper and a lower part, the conveyor belt being provided near at least one edge with a detaining assembly which engages a guide and which are locked by this guide against displacement in the direction away from the guide. According to the invention the detaining assembly is in engagement with guide discs which are rotatably supported adjacent the conveyor belt and which forms the guide, while the drive engages the detaining assembly and drive the conveyor belt through the detaining assembly.
摘要:
A conveyor points system using an endless loop deformable stringer has a cantilever outrigger which is resiliently flexible in one plane only and defines, when flexed, a curved path for one run of the stringer. Control of the degree of flexing enables the cantilever, and thus the conveyor path defined by the one run of the stringer, to be selectively registered with different conveying paths. The conveyor thus enables a points system to be utilized which is capable of providing a number of curved routes through the points without steps or sharp bends.
