Load-bearing support plate, chain structure, and conveyor belt structure incorporating them

Abstract

A load-bearing support plate, chain structure, and a conveyor belt structure incorporating them are provided. The load-bearing support plate includes a first panel, a second panel, and a transition panel for connecting the first panel with the second panel; the first panel is offset in a first direction relative to the second panel, and at least one reinforcing rib is provided on the first panel, the reinforcing rib extending upwards from the bottom of the first panel to the upper edge of the first panel and forming a bearing surface with the top surface of the first panel. By forming the first panel into a curved shape with the use of reinforcing ribs, the overall support capability is enhanced.
