Abstract
The invention relates to a curved belt conveyor comprising: a supporting frame (1); at least one guide rail (2, 2′) fastened to the supporting frame (1); a conveyor chain (3) guided inside the guide rail (2, 2′), and; a conveyor belt (5) that can be displaced by means of the conveyor chain (3) along a conveying surface that has the shape of a sector of a circle. The curved belt conveyor has an outer supporting frame (11), an inner supporting frame (12) and radial struts (13, 13′), these radial struts (13, 13′) being able to be connected to the outer and inner supporting frame (11, 12) in a plug-in type manner.
Claims22
A curved band conveyor with a carrier stand in the form of a part circle for a conveyor band movable along a conveying surface in the form of a part circle comprising, at least one guide rail fastened to the carrier stand, a conveyor chain guided in the guide rail and a conveyor band movable by means of the conveyor chain along the conveying surface, the carrier stand having a curved outer carrier frame, an inner carrier frame running concentrically with respect to the outer carrier frame and radial struts, wherein the radial struts are connected in a pluggable way to the outer and inner carrier frames and wherein the inner and outer carrier frames have first connecting holes for the reception of plug noses of the radial struts and wherein at least one of the outer and inner carrier frames has a carrier plate running horizontally with respect to the conveying surface and including the connecting holes.
A curved band conveyor with a carrier stand in the form of a part circle for a conveyor band movable along a conveying surface in the form of a part circle comprising, at least one guide rail fastened to the carrier stand, a conveyor chain guided in the guide rail and a conveyor band movable by means of the conveyor chain along the conveying surface, the carrier stand having a curved outer carrier frame, an inner carrier frame running concentrically with respect to the outer carrier frame and radial struts, wherein the radial struts are connected in a pluggable way to the outer and inner carrier frames, wherein the inner and outer carrier frames have first connecting holes for the reception of plug noses of the radial struts, and wherein the outer and/or the inner carrier frame have two carrier plates running horizontally with respect to the conveying surface, the two carrier plates including the first connecting holes and having second connecting holes, and the carrier frame having, furthermore, vertically oriented ribs having pins, wherein the pins are plugged into the second connecting holes of the two carrier plates, in order to connect the two carrier plates to one another.
A curved band conveyor with a carrier stand defining a part circle for a conveyor band movable along a conveying surface defining a part circle comprising:
- at least one guide rail fastened to the carrier stand;
- a conveyor chain guided in the guide rail and a conveyor band movable by means of the conveyor chain along the conveying surface;
- the carrier stand having a curved outer carrier frame and an inner carrier frame running concentrically with the outer carrier frame, the inner and outer carrier frames each having a first connecting hole;
- at least one of the outer and inner carrier frames having a carrier plate running horizontally with respect to the conveying surface, the carrier plate including the first connecting hole;
- and
- a plurality of radial struts having plug noses, wherein the radial struts are pluggably connected to the outer and inner carrier frames, the plug noses of the radial struts pluggably inserted into the first connecting holes of the outer and inner carrier frames.
A curved band conveyor with a carrier stand defining a part circle for a conveyor band movable along a conveying surface defining a part circle comprising:
- at least one guide rail fastened to the carrier stand;
- a conveyor chain guided in the guide rail and a conveyor band movable by means of the conveyor chain along the conveying surface;
- the carrier stand having a curved outer carrier frame and a curved inner carrier frame running concentrically in relation to the outer carrier frame, the inner and outer carrier frames each having first connecting holes;
- the outer and/or the inner carrier frame having an upper carrier plate and a lower carrier plate, both carrier plates running substantially horizontal in relation to the conveying surface, the carrier plates each including the first connecting holes and each having second connecting holes;
- and
- a plurality of radial struts having plug noses, wherein the radial struts are pluggably connected to the outer and inner carrier frames, the plug noses of the radial struts are pluggably inserted into the first connecting holes of the outer and inner carrier frames;
- and
- the carrier frame having vertically oriented ribs defining pins, wherein the pins are plugged into the second connecting holes of the upper and the lower carrier plate, thereby connecting the upper carrier plate and the lower carrier plate.
