摘要:
A drive sprocket for driving a modular belt having a plurality of belt modules with intercalated link ends connected by transverse pivot members to form hinges. The belt modules may have transverse ribs. The drive sprocket is driven by a shaft. The drive sprocket has a central opening for receiving the shaft. The body has a plurality of teeth disposed in pairs along a periphery of the body. The body has a first opening formed between adjacent pairs of teeth and extending toward the center of the sprocket to provide access to the hinge area, when the belt engages with the sprocket, for application of cleaning fluid.

A belt module includes an intermediate section having a corrugated portion extending along the length of the intermediate section and a web extending along the length of the intermediate section and adjacent to the corrugated portion. A plurality of first link ends extend outward from the intermediate section with the transverse opening. A plurality of second link ends extend outward from the intermediate section in a direction opposite the first link ends and the second link ends have a transverse opening having an elongated shape.
摘要:
A modular conveyor belt formed of rows of belt modules pivotally interlinked by transverse pivot rods. The modules include a top, product conveying surface and a bottom, sprocket-driven surface. The belt modules have a plurality of first link ends disposed in the direction of travel of the conveyor belt and a plurality of second link ends disposed in the opposite direction. Transverse holes in the link ends are aligned to accommodate a pivot rod. When the link ends of the consecutive rows of side by side modules are intercalated, the pivot rod serves as a hinge pin in a hinged joint between consecutive interlinked rows. The transverse holes are disposed at an angle relative to the top surface of the belt module such that when the belt modules are connected to form a belt the transverse holes in adjacent link ends are disposed at opposite angles.

A conveying apparatus comprises a modular conveying belt (1), which is made up of a plurality of modules (2), and a plurality of toothed drive wheels (4). The modules (2) have a module body (21), two series of articulation-eyelet elements (22, 23), which project from opposite sides of the module body (21) and each comprise an articulation eyelet (221, 231), and a transverse rib (24) arranged on the underside of the module body (21), transversely to the conveying direction. Two adjacent modules (2) interengage and are articulated on one another by an articulation rod (3). The toothed drive wheels (4) have teeth (41, 42) which, during driving of the conveying belt (1), are positioned against the transverse ribs (24). The modules (2) and the toothed drive wheels (4) are designed and arranged such that, during driving of the conveying belt (1), the teeth (41, 42) each engage between two adjacent articulation-eyelet elements (22, 23) of a module (2), in order to form direct lateral guides for these two articulation-eyelet elements (22, 23).

A modular conveyor belt formed of rows of belt modules pivotally interlinked by transverse pivot rods and specially adapted for following a curved conveyor path. The modules include a top, product conveying surface and a bottom, sprocket-driven surface. The belt modules have a plurality of first link ends disposed in the direction of travel of the conveyor belt and a plurality of second link ends disposed in the opposite direction. Transverse holes in the link ends are aligner to accommodate a pivot rod. When the link ends of the consecutive rows of side by side modules are intercalated, the pivot rod serves as a hinge pin in a hinged joint between consecutive interlinked rows. To permit the belt to flex sidewise, the openings in the first link ends are slotted longitudinally in the direction of belt travel.
摘要:
An endless conveyor belt formed of plastic belt modules and capable of following a curved path. The modules include first and second module surfaces, i.e., a top, product-conveying surface and a bottom, sprocket-driven surface. An intermediate section extends across the width of each module transverse to the direction of belt travel. A plurality of snap-on side guards are mounted in vertical openings disposed in the belt modules. Each side guard includes a central post having opposed wings extending in a forwardly and a rearwardly direction along the direction of conveyor belt travel. The wings are staggered in the lateral direction so that the forward wing of a first side guard overlaps with the rearward wing of an immediately adjacent second side guard.
摘要:
A conveying apparatus comprising a modular belt having a plurality of modules connected to adjacent modules and articulated by pivot rods that extend through openings in the link ends of the modules. The openings extend transverse to the direction of belt travel. The apparatus also includes a drive sprocket having a plurality of teeth disposed about the circumference of the wheel. Each tooth has a center driving surface and a link end driving surface. The teeth are disposed such that each belt module may be driven in either direction from the center by one of the teeth and simultaneously driven at a link end by one of the other teeth such that there is positive engagement with each belt module by two teeth.

A modular conveyor belt formed of rows of belt modules pivotally interlinked by transverse pivot rods and specially adapted for following a curved conveyor path. The modules include a top, product conveying surface and a bottom, sprocket-driven surface. The belt modules have a plurality of first link ends disposed in the direction of travel of the conveyor belt and a plurality of second link ends disposed in the opposite direction. Transverse holes in the link ends are aligned to accommodate a pivot rod. When the link ends of the consecutive rows of side by side modules are intercalated, the pivot rod serves as a hinge pin in a hinged joint between consecutive interlinked rows. To permit the belt to flex sidewise, the openings in the first link ends are slotted longitudinally in the direction of belt travel. In order to prevent fingers from penetrating the grid, the belt modules have a cross-rib with an extended portion in the longitudinal direction designed so as to allow the link ends to undercut the cross-rib when collapsing and to reduce the gap between adjacent modules.
摘要:
A module having a cross-rib that is alternately offset from a centerline of the module and that is used in connection with a double row sprocket with alternating sprocket teeth. The module is of the type where a series of spaced apart link ends extending from each side of the module include aligned apertures to accommodate a pivot rod. The link ends along one end of a row of modules are interconnected with the link ends of an adjacent row. A pivot rod journaled in the aligned apertures of the side-by-side and end-to-end connected modules forms a hinge between adjacent rows. Rows of belt modules are then connected together to form an endless conveyor belt capable of articulating about a drive sprocket.

A modular radius conveyor belt formed of rows of belt modules pivotally interlinked by transverse pivot rods and specially adapted for following a curved conveyor path. The modules include a top, product conveying surface and a bottom, sprocket-driven surface. The belt modules have a plurality of first link ends disposed in the direction of travel of the conveyor belt and a plurality of second link ends disposed in the opposite direction. Transverse holes in the link ends are aligned to accommodate a pivot rod. When the link ends of the consecutive rows of side by side modules are intercalated, the pivot rod serves as a hinge pin in a hinged joint between consecutive interlinked rows. To permit the belt to flex side-wise, the openings in the first link ends are slotted longitudinally in the direction of belt travel. The link ends have leg portions with differing widths. The link ends having the transverse slots are wider than the link ends having the transverse openings such that the cross-sectional areas of the leg portions are approximately equal.
