Abstract
A conveyor belt and a method of manufacturing are provided. The conveyor belt includes a flat belt, having a topside, a pulley side, a first outer edge and a second outer edge. The conveyor belt further includes a timing belt with timing teeth extending from the pulley side. The conveyor belt is used in a conveyor belt system including a drive roller having a gear portion shaped complementary to the timing teeth of the flat belt. The drive roller is arranged to engage with the pulley side of the flat belt. The conveyor belt system further includes a tail roller which also includes a gear portion shaped complementary to the timing teeth of the flat belt and arranged to engage with the pulley side of the flat belt.
Claims20
A conveyor belt, comprising:
- a flat belt having a topside, a pulley side, a first outer edge and a second outer edge;
- and
- a timing belt having a topside and a pulley side, the top side of the timing belt being heat bonded to the pulley side of the flat belt, the pulley side of the timing belt having timing teeth extending therefrom.
A conveyor belt, comprising:
- a flat belt having a topside, a pulley side, a first outer edge and a second outer edge;
- a timing belt with timing teeth extending from the pulley side;
- and
- the flat belt including a first portion and a second portion, the first portion having the first outer edge and a first inner edge, and the second portion having the second outer edge and a second inner edge, the timing belt having a first edge and a second edge, the first inner edge is laminated to the timing belt first edge, and the timing belt second edge is laminated to the second inner edge.
A method of manufacturing a conveyor belt, comprising:
- forming a timing belt with timing teeth;
- arranging the timing belt laterally between a first flat belt portion and a second flat belt portion with the timing teeth extending from a pulley side of the timing belt;
- and
- laminating the timing belt laterally between the first and second flat belt portions.
A conveyor belt system, comprising:
- a flat belt having a topside and a pulley side;
- a timing belt having a topside and a pulley side, the topside of the timing belt being laminated to the pulley side of the flat belt and the pulley side of the timing belt having timing teeth extending therefrom;
- a drive roller having a gear portion shaped complementary to the timing teeth of the flat belt, the drive roller engages with the pulley side of the flat belt;
- and
- a tail roller, whereby the drive roller transfers motion power to the flat belt.
A method of manufacturing a conveyor belt, comprising:
- forming a timing belt with a topside and a pulley side, the pulley side of the timing belt having timing teeth extending therefrom;
- arranging the topside timing belt adjacent a pulley side of a flat belt with the timing teeth extending from a pulley side of the flat belt;
- and
- laminating the topside of the timing belt to the pulley side of the flat belt.
A conveyor belt, comprising:
- a flat belt having a topside, a pulley side, a first outer edge and a second outer edge;
- and
- a timing belt having a topside and a pulley side, the topside of the timing belt being laminated to the pulley side of the flat belt, the pulley side of the timing belt having timing teeth extending therefrom.
