US 11,697,557 B2 · Running track and carrier for diagnostic system of carrier rollers on conveyors

Abstract

The invention relates to idler diagnosis systems on conveyors, comprising a rail system as a track for suitable running gears and the running gear, the rail system being formed from a closed profile or tube. The rail system comprises a multi-part track holder arranged on the belt frame, a fixing rod and a running rail, the track holder being suitable for accommodating the running rail at at least one end by insertion, thus creating a track without cross-section differences. The running gear has at least one two-roller system as a guide and drive system, and at least one chassis that accommodates and connects the two roller systems and has connection options for sensor-system carriers and/or energy control module. The guide system encloses the track so only one movement (forwards/backwards) along the track is provided. The drive system moves the chassis and all the connected systems with respect to the track.

Dependent claims

An idler diagnosis system on conveyors, comprising:

at least one running rail, which is designed as a closed profile,
at least one multi-part track holder, which is designed to arrange the running rail on a belt frame of the conveyor, wherein the track holder comprises a running-rail support which is designed as a closed profile, and
at least one fixing rod, which is movably arranged inside the running-rail support, wherein the fixing rod is designed as a closed profile and is designed to receive the running rail at least at one end,
wherein the closed profile of the railing system is designed in such a way that it has n corners, where n is at least three and the corners are defined mathematically as discontinuity between connecting lines, it being possible for these lines to be polynomials of nth order, the profile being described by a neutral axis, and
wherein the rail support of the track holder is oriented such that each of upper and lower pointes of the rail support is formed by a corner of the profile.
