Definitions
- the invention relates to a conveyor belt comprising a plurality of link elements which are mutually coupled in pairs by means of a hinge, which hinge comprises at least one hinge pin present on the one link element and extending transversely of the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt and a plurality of correspondingly registered eyes present on the other link element and engaging round said hinge pin(s) such that the conveyor belt is flexible in transverse direction relative to the main plane of the conveyor belt.
- each link element comprises at least one slide block, in the end zones of which slide block are arranged continuous holes for passage of respective hinge pins, wherein the end zones of adjacent slide blocks are interwoven in the longitudinal direction of the associated hinge pin.
- the conveyor belt according to the invention thus has at least one continuous row of slide blocks which can co-act with a slide strip forming part of a transporting device.
- a slide block consists substantially of a material with a temperature resistance satisfying a chosen norm.
- a slide block can for instance consist of steel, for instance stainless steel.
- a specific embodiment has the special feature that a slide block consists of a wear-resistant plastic.
- a very suitable material in this respect is a nylon.
- the invention is also very suitable for forming longitudinal partitions.
- the conveyor belt can have the special feature that a slide block supports a plate extending transversely of the main plane of the conveyor belt.
- the slide blocks can be connected to the rest of the conveyor belt with very simple mechanical means.
- a specific embodiment has the special feature that a block is coupled to a hinge pin by means of a key.
- the most inexpensive and simple embodiment from the point of view of production technique is that in which all blocks are identical. Attention is drawn in this respect to the fact that the interwoven parts of the end zones of adjacent slide blocks can complement each other mirror-symmetrically. Protruding slide blocks can be located on one side or on mutually opposite sides. Ob ⁇ tained in this embodiment is the example for all cases that only one type of product has to be manufactured and held in stock for purposes of replacement.
- the invention will now be elucidated with reference to the annexed drawings of several random embodiments.
- Figure 1 shows a partly perspective view of a conveyor belt according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows a part of the conveyor belt according to figure 1 on enlarged scale and partly in exploded view
- Figure 3 shows a view corresponding with figure
- Figure 4 shows a view corresponding with figure
- Figure 1 shows a transporting device 1 comprising drive wheels 2 which are drivable by means of means which are not shown and which co-act with a conveyor belt 3 according to the invention.
- Conveyor belt
- Each link element comprises a plurality of wires 5 bent O 96/33931
- each slide block has an end zone in which is arranged a continuous hole 10 for passage of hinge pins 7.
- the end zones of adjacent slide blocks take a form such that they can be placed in mutually interwoven manner.
- each end zone is embod ⁇ ied such that it has a cylindrical half 11 and a recess 12 complementary thereto.
- Adjacent slide blocks 9 can thus be mutually coupled in the manner shown by means of a hinge pin 7.
- Locking holes 13 extending transversely of the holes 10 are arranged in the nylon slide blocks 9. Through these locking holes 13 can be placed keys or locking pins 14 which can co-act with respective recesses 15 in hinge pins 7.
- Figure 2 shows a slide block 9 on enlarged scale. It is apparent that the two cylindrical halves 11 are located on either side of the block on the same long side. Alternatively, a cylindrical half can also be located on the other side.
- the drawn embodiment has the advantage that in order to replace a slide block it is never necessary to temporarily remove more than two adjacent slide blocks.
- slide blocks 9 are slidable over slide strips 16. These can be of any suitable wear- resistant material which has a relatively low coefficient of friction in common with the material of slide blocks 9.
- standing plates 17 are added to each slide block 9'.
- the slide blocks 9' are provided with slotted holes 18 into which fits a support part 19 of a plate 17.
- a plate 17 is fixed in a slide block 9' by means of screws 20.
- Figure 3 also shows clearly an additional advantage of the above described form of the slide blocks 9, in figure 3 9'.
- the slotted holes 18 are arranged a little outside the central plane of a block 9' .
- Figure 4 shows a transporting device 1" which comprises two rows of slide blocks 9 and which has pushing plates 21 which together form a link element. Plates 21 have continuous holes 22, 23 for co-action with the hinge pins 7.
