Abstract
There is presented a conveyor belt module for a side flexing modular conveyor belt wherein a width ratio between a longitudinal surface width and a maximum width of eye parts placed centrally along a longitudinal is smaller than a width ratio for eye parts placed on both sides of the centrally placed eye parts. There is furthermore presented a modular conveyor belt, a conveyor belt system, a method for conveying one or more elements and use of modular conveyor belt for conveying one or more elements.
Claims15
A conveyor belt module for a side flexing modular conveyor belt, said conveyor belt module comprising:
- a first set of eye parts defining a first axis, and
- a second set of eye parts defining a second axis,
- wherein the eye parts comprise:
- a primary group of eye parts,
- a secondary group of eye parts, wherein the secondary group of eye parts comprises eye parts placed on both sides of the primary group of eye parts along an axis being parallel with the first axis and/or the second axis.
- wherein, in a cross-sectional plane being orthogonal to a line being
- orthogonal to the first axis and/or the second axis, and
- intersecting both of the first axis and the second axis,
- a first width ratio of any eye part is given as the ratio of:
- a width in a direction parallel with the first axis and/or the second axis of a surface of the eye part at a distal end in a first direction along an axis in the cross-sectional plane and being orthogonal to the first axis and/or the second axis, to
- a largest width in a direction parallel with the first axis and/or the second axis of the eye part,
- and a second width ratio of any eye part is given as the ratio of:
- a width in a direction parallel with the first axis and/or the second axis of a surface of the eye part at a distal end in a second direction being orthogonal to the first direction, to
- the largest width in a direction parallel with the first axis and/or the second axis of the eye part,
- and wherein a first width ratio and/or a second width ratio is smaller for eye parts within the primary group of eye parts compared to eye parts within the secondary group of eye parts.
