Abstract
Clamped connection for connecting two end sections of a conveyor belt which is to be set up as continuous and which has embedded tension members, with two moulded pieces that can be braced against each other, each having a contact surface for an end section of the conveyor belt, between which is arranged a spacer, and in each case an end section can be clamped in a clamping area between the spacer and a contact surface of a moulded piece, and wherein ends of the tension members can be secured in a cast block formed with a casting material and which is braced against the moulded pieces, characterised in that for each end section of the conveyor belt, its own separate cast block is formed, a conveyor belt connected to it, and a method of connecting a conveyor belt.

A clamped connection for joining two end sections of a conveyor belt which is to be set up as continuous and which has embedded tension members, the clamped connection comprising:
- two moulded pieces which can be braced against one another and which in each case have a contact surface for a pair of end sections of the conveyor belt;
- a spacer arranged between the two moulded pieces, and in each case an end section is clamped in a clamping area between the spacer and a contact surface of a moulded piece;
- and
- a plurality of cast blocks formed with a casting material and wherein ends of the tension members are secured in a cast block, which is braced against the moulded pieces, wherein for each end section of the conveyor belt, its own separate cast block is formed for securing its respective tension members.
A conveyor belt, in particular for belt-type bucket elevators, with embedded tension members and two end sections, which are connected by means of a clamped connection, the clamped connection comprising:
- two moulded pieces which can be braced against one another and which in each case have a contact surface for a pair of end sections of the conveyor belt;
- a spacer arranged between the two moulded pieces, and in each case an end section is clamped in a clamping area between the spacer and a contact surface of a moulded piece;
- a plurality of cast blocks formed with a casting material and wherein ends of the tension members are secured in a cast block, which is braced against the moulded pieces, wherein for each end section of the conveyor belt, its own separate cast block is formed for securing its respective tension members;
- wherein thereby the conveyor belt is set up to be continuous, wherein the end sections are led out of a plane of travel of the conveyor belt and are held clamped between the moulded pieces and the spacer, wherein at both end sections of the conveyor belt, the tension members are exposed from the surrounding belt material and in each case are secured in their own separate cast blocks that are filled with the casting material.
A method for connecting two end sections of a conveyor belt which is to be set up as continuous and which is equipped with embedded tension members, comprising the steps of:
- leading the end sections out of a plane of travel of the conveyor belt;
- and
- arranging the end sections between two moulded pieces equipped with contact surfaces, with a spacer arranged between the moulded pieces, and the end sections are respectively clamped in a clamping area between the spacer and a contact surface of a moulded piece, and wherein ends of the tension members are exposed from the surrounding belt material after emerging from the clamping area and are secured by cast blocks formed of a casting material, wherein each cast block rests against a moulded pieces, wherein each end section of the conveyor belt is secured in its own separate cast block.
