Abstract
A device for linking a conveyor belt includes an upper plate and a lower plate. The upper plate includes a highly extendable armature and the lower plate includes an inextensible or quasi inextensible armature. The two plates can be fastened onto the ends of a conveyor belt inserted between the two plates, which as such transforms this conveyor belt into an endless belt.
Claims6
A device for linking conveyor belts comprising:
- an upper plate and a lower plate, each of the upper and lower plate made of at least one of an elastomer and a synthetic material, the upper and lower plates comprising armatures,
- wherein the upper plate is arranged against outer faces of ends of the conveyor belts;
- and
- the lower plate is arranged against inner faces of the ends of the conveyor belts,
- wherein the armatures of the upper and lower plates have different extendability and compressibility in a direction parallel to a longitudinal direction of the conveyor belts and include a first armature and a second armature, so that the first armature has an extendability of greater than 15%, and the second armature has an extendability of less than 3%, and
- wherein an extendability limit of the first armature under an effect of forces of traction is not reached before, under an effect of equivalent forces of traction, a rupture of the second armature occurs.
