摘要:
An arcuate guide apparatus and method for collecting and moving material into or away from a selected bin (30a, 30b, 30c) that resides within an array of storage bins. The arcuate guide apparatus comprises three or more trolleys (90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95a, 95b, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108) that move along at least one track (79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 86a, 86b, 86c, 86d, 86e, 86f, 87a, 87b, 88a, 88b, 89) to create a guide assembly for a conveyor (60) or conveyor groups (67, 68, 69, 70). By moving the trolleys (90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95a, 95b, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108) along the track (79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 86a, 86b, 86c, 86d, 86e, 86f, 87a, 87b, 88a, 88b, 89), or track (79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 86a, 86b, 86c, 86d, 86e, 86f, 87a, 87b, 88a, 88b, 89) along the trolleys (90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95a, 95b, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108), the conveyor (60) or conveyor groups (67, 68, 69, 70) can distribute material to or reclaim material from a selected storage bin (30a, 30b, 30c) using minimal amount of linear meters of conveyance (60). The arcuate guide apparatus and method can have multiple layers of guide assemblies (110, 112, 114, 120, 122, 124, 126, 128, 130, 132, 134, 136, 138, 140, 142, 144, 146, 148, 150, 152, 154, 156, 158, 160, 162) to guide conveyor (60) or conveyor groups (67, 68, 69, 70). The arcuate guide apparatus and method can have the guide assemblies (110, 112, 114, 120, 122, 124, 126, 128, 130, 132, 134, 136, 138, 140, 142, 144, 146, 148, 150, 152, 154, 156, 158, 160, 162) combined in a wide variety of configurations that best suits a particular application.
摘要:
A conveying system for distributing material into any bin in a horizontal array of storage bins comprises a circular guide positioned over the array of bins (24), a linear guide (22) that rotates along the circular guide, and a conveyor (30) that is supported by the linear guide. By rotating the linear guide and attached conveyor along the circular guide and by shuttling the conveyor linearly, the conveyor has an infinite number of discharge points to fill any one of the underlying array of bins.

The invention relates to an apparatus for processing lumpy, essentially spherical material such as pellets, so that the lumpy material can be applied on a surface that is set in an essentially continuous motion, as an advantageous layer for the further processing of said material, said apparatus comprising means (1) for conveying the material and for feeding the material onto a surface (15) that is set in an essentially continuous motion. According to the invention, the conveyor (1) is installed movably in an alternating motion between two positions (3, 4) in order to feed the material conveyed by the conveyor (1) as a layer (16) that is advantageous both in thickness and in cross-section onto a surface (15) set in an essentially continuous motion.

A self propelled vehicle for transport and placement of an onboard supply of fill material in an onboard hopper. The hopper is connected to said vehicle at a point operatively positioned to discharge fill material placed therein on a conveyor belt mounted to a support structure. The fill material is deposited on the conveyor at a receiving and discharged at the distal end of the conveyor either directly or via a flow director attached to the distal end attached thereto. The flow director bifurcates the stream of fill material allowing the operator to place more or less of the fill in two streams using a plurality of independently adjustable channeling ramps. The hopper is optionally adjustable from an angle normal to the vehicle to allow for adjustment in the vehicle center of gravity on grades. The flow director can also be configured for attachment to existing conveyors to increase their utility or used as part of the entire self propelled device in a single unit. Optionally, the distal end of the conveyor may be elevated or lowered for proper positioning.

A dead heap or pile is prepared on a circular surface in the form of a sector defined by two radii of the circular surface. With respect to the median plane of the dead heap, such heap has two slopes, each with an inclination equal to that at which particulate material is retrieved from piles (on semicircular plots) which are alternately laid, first on one side and then on the other side of the dead heap. Each such pile (on a semicircular plot) is laid directly against a slope of the dead heap and is retrieved from the edge of the pile which is most remote from the dead heap.

Long molding strips are dropped into parallel boxes from the edge of a carriage initially receiving the strips and across which the strips are moved laterally by conveyor belts. The moving strips are counted into groups. For each group the carriage advances from one box to the next. After the final box is loaded the carriage returns to start position for a subsequent cycle.
