Abstract:
Disclosed is a conveying apparatus comprising a belt conveyor (1), on the bottom face of which spring elements (4) are provided. One or several traction ropes or conveying ropes (8) can be embraced in a springy manner by said spring elements (4). The conveying track can be subdivided into several sections, each of which is provided with its own ropes (8) for driving the belt conveyor. Between the sections, the spring elements are removed from the ropes (8) of one section by expanding the same and are placed around the ropes (8) of the next respective section, thus allowing the belt conveyor (1) to be conveyed along many different sections using many different techniques. Laterally protruding sidewalls (31) are provided on the lateral edges of the belt conveyor (1). Said sidewalls (31) are positioned at a non-orthogonal angle relative to the belt conveyor in order not to block the necessary movements when the belt conveyor is deflected.
Abstract:
A continuous belt (14) has upper and lower runs (14a, 14b) and lower runs (23a, 23b) of continuous ropes (23) carried and driven by end rollers (12, 13) and intermediate wheels (22). To allow the lower run (14b) of the belt to be supported by the lower run (23b) of the ropes, the lower run of the belt is laterally diverted from below the lower run (23b) of the ropes and re-diverted back onto the lower run of the ropes by rollers (30) in the region of one end roller (12). The lower run of the belt is again diverted laterally and re-diverted below the lower run (23b) of the ropes adjacent the other end roller (13). In another embodiment, the belt (114) is twisted whilst the lower run of the ropes (123) is vertically diverted to allow space for the twisting of the lower run of the belt below the upper run of the belt, so that lateral movement of the belt beyond the normal confines of the conveyor arrangement is avoided.
Abstract:
A conveyor belt section capable of bending vertically and horizontally includes a base and side walls extending angularly from opposing sides of the base to form a channel, wherein the belt section is corrugated with at least two alternating peaks and troughs extending continuously across the side walls and base.
Abstract:
The disclosure is directed at a system for conveying apparatus over a conveyor belt assembly. The system includes a set of pallets which support the apparatus and travel within parallel driving conveyors of the conveyor belt assembly. While the pallets in both driving conveyors are capable of rotation, only the pallets in one of the driving conveyors may move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel so that the apparatus may be centred over the conveyor belt assembly when the pallets are in motion.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a conveyor for moving very heavy loads, consisting of a chain having widthwise multiple links and wherein, in longitudinal direction, the links are alternately of plastic and steel while the chain is provided at its bottom side with a continuous, one-piece rubber band. In order to have the conveyor move very heavy loads, it is provided that the plastic links in the chain have a combined bearing and pulling function and in them form a sleeve bearing with their underground.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a cable driven conveyor system having a plurality of hangers connected to a cable and conveyor belt disposed on the plurality of hangers. The conveyor system is capable of hauling material in more than one direction. The ends of the conveyor system may be easily transportable, allowing for flexibility in the setup of the conveyor system. There is also shown an idler assembly for use in a cable driven system.
Abstract:
A belt conveyor comprises an endless conveyor belt (5) which has a bottom portion (6) provided on its underside with a central bead (7). The underside of the bead is formed with a groove (10) for receiving a carrying cable (11) at least along the major part ofthe goods conveying reach of said conveyor. The belt conveyor also comprises a plurality of pulleys (12) arranged below the carrying cable and adapted to directly support the carrying cable and further guide rollers (14, 15) arranged at least along the goods conveying reach and engaging the lateral surfaces of the bead (7). The width and the depth of the groove are such that the guide rollers are capable of transmitting lateral forces to the carrying cable (11). Moreover, the guide rollers make such contact with the lateral surfaces of the bead that the bead is substantially immobile in vertical direction. Finally, the belt conveyor is provided with guide means (18, 19) along the goods conveying reach, which engage with the belt to prevent it from tipping from the carrying cable. This design makes it possible to drive the belt at high speed and through sharp curves.
Abstract:
In a conveying plant provided with an endless conveyer belt (2) made of rubber or similar material, the conveyer belt (2) is conducted on carrier disks (4) by means of endless travel elements provided in its edging areas. Each travel element is comprised of carrier elements (3) secured to the conveyer belt (2) and of at least one cable (1); said cable (1) is not fixedly connected to the conveyer belt (2), respectively to the carrier elements (3) secured to the conveyer belt (2).
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fördereinrichtung mit einem entlang einer Förderrichtung (F) umlaufend geführten, flächig ausgedehnten Förderorgan (2), welches an den Kopfenden der Fördereinrichtung umgelenkt und durch Seitenabschlussträger seitlich eingefasst wird. Die Fördereinrichtung enthält eine Antriebsvorrichtung mit einem Antriebsmotor (21) zum Antrieb des Förderorgans (2). Die Antriebsvorrichtung ist zwischen den beiden Kopfenden sowie zwischen den Seitenabschlussträgern und zwischen dem oberen Förder- und dem unteren Rückführabschnitt des Förderorgans (2) angeordnet. Die Antriebsvorrichtung enthält ein Antriebsorgan (23), welches um zwei in Förderrichtung (F) voneinander beabstandete Umlenkachsen (22a) umlaufend angeordnet ist und vom Antriebsmotor (21) angetrieben wird. Das Antriebsorgan (23) stützt den oberhalb angeordneten oberen Förderabschnitt des Förderorgans (2) und bildet mit diesem einen Kontaktschluss zur Übertragung einer Antriebskraft auf das Förderorgan (2) aus.
Abstract:
An arrangement for driving a conveyor includes a continuous chain-driven loop located inside a conveyor belt loop. The chain-driven loop engages an inner face of the conveyor, and driving impetus is provided by friction.
