Conveyor belt and device for locking a rod to a link of such a conveyor belt

A conveyor belt comprising:

• at least two parallel chains each comprising a plurality of consecutive links;
• and
• a plurality of rods extending between the at least two parallel chains for linking the consecutive links,
• wherein each rod extends with each end through the corresponding chain linking two consecutive links to each other, wherein one of the two consecutive links is at least axially locked to the rod to avoid movement of the link relative to the rod and wherein the other of the two consecutive links is rotatably arranged around the respective rod,
• at least one device for providing the lock between a rod of the plurality of rods and a respective link of the conveyor belt, the at least one device comprising:
• a body;
• an insertion hole in which an end of the rod is inserted along an insertion axis, which insertion hole is arranged in the body;
• a protrusion arranged relative to the body and extending from the body parallel to and at a distance from the insertion axis;
• and
• fixing means for fixing the end of the rod in the hole in at least an axial direction,
• wherein the respective link is provided with a locking opening through which the protrusion extends, and
• wherein the fixing means comprises:
• a fixing hole arranged in the body and extending perpendicular to the insertion axis such that the fixing hole partially intersects with the insertion hole;
• and
• a pin configured to extend through the fixing hole and at least partially intersecting the insertion hole.
