Belt stripper with angle height adjustment and method for adjusting said belt strippers

A belt-stripper module which is intended for a stripping apparatus for the return region of conveying belts and is mounted as one of a number of such modules on a height-adjustable system carrier, comprising:

• a base, which is fastened on the system carrier,
• a cutting-edge carrier, on which a stripping lamella is fitted,
• wherein a stripping edge is fitted on the stripping lamella, and
• the stripping lamella forms an obtuse angle in relation to the belt, as seen in the running direction,
• a stripping body with an articulation housing having two articulations, in the case of which
• a first articulation, of which the axis of rotation runs transversely to the running direction of the belt, with a torsion spring, which connects the base and stripping body, the torsion spring pushing the stripping lamella towards the belt, applying a prestressing force to the belt, and
• a second articulation with a bushing, in which the cutting-edge carrier is mounted in a rotatable manner, the axis of rotation of said second articulation running longitudinally in relation to the running direction of the belt, and said second articulation orienting the cutting-edge carrier on the running belt such that the stripping edge butts always flatly against the belt, and
• a height-adjusting mechanism for the belt-stripper module on the base, wherein the first articulation is provided with a spring-angle-measuring mechanism and with a fixed stop for deflection.
