摘要:
A mechanism for transferring mechanical energy onboard of a train of carriages of a sorting machine includes a friction wheel fitted onto a carriage. The wheel is rotated by friction caused by the engagement of the wheel against a track on which the carriage travels, and is connected to an electric generator disposed on the carriage. Rotation of the wheel is transmitted to the generator to rotate the generator and produce electricity for operating a belt(s) disposed on the carriage. The force with which the wheel is pressed against the track is automatically changed in response to changes in power requirements of the generator.

A chain conveyor includes a plurality of load rollers, a plurality of drive rollers, which are arranged in pairs, and a pair of spaced apart rows of interconnecting linkages aligned generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the chain conveyor. The load rollers and the drive rollers are rotatably mounted between the linkages with the load rollers positioned between the pairs of drive rollers. The diameter of each load roller is larger than the diameter of each drive roller. The load rollers and the drive rollers are spaced along the longitudinal axis wherein the chain conveyor includes gaps between the outer surfaces of adjacent load rollers and between the outer surfaces of adjacent driver rollers. The chain conveyor further includes a clip, which is supported by the load rollers and includes a substantially rigid body, which has an upper surface spanning between the outer surfaces of adjacent load rollers with a length along the longitudinal axis greater than the gap between the adjacent load rollers to thereby substantially close the gap between the adjacent load rollers. The body also includes a lower surface, which spans between the outer surfaces of adjacent load rollers and has a length along the longitudinal axis greater than the gap between the adjacent load rollers to thereby prevent the clip from being ejected from between the adjacent load rollers.
摘要:
A belt conveyor with a surface layer transferred onto its article-carrying or other surface to impart certain effective properties to the surface. The belt conveyor comprises a conveyor belt driven by a belt drive along a belt-conveying path. A transfer element transfers a coating material to a belt surface along a section of the belt-conveying path. Metallic bearing surfaces in contact with the belt surface act as transfer elements from which an oxidizable metal is rubbed by the relative motion of the belt to form a high-friction metallic oxide layer on the belt surface. Another transfer element is realized by an applicator with a reservoir for storing a coating material. The applicator is positioned close to the belt surface to dispense a layer of coating material with properties that mask the inherent surface properties of the belt. In yet another version, the conveyed articles themselves serve as transfer elements.

Associated methods for replacing the inherent surface properties of a belt surface with more desirable properties by means of these various versions of conveyors are described.
摘要:
A conveyor mat comprising first and second plastic modules built up of hinge plates, the width of the first modules substantially being twice the width of the second modules, the second modules being located only at both sides of the conveyor mat, with always a first module being arranged between two successive second modules at a side, the modules being coupled together by means of hinge pins, and each second module being provided at a side of the conveyor mat with a bearing surface formed integral with the module, which bearing surface extends in the same plane as the conveying plane of the mat, each bearing surface, seen in the conveying direction of the mat, having a length equal to twice the pitch of a module. The bearing surfaces form a dead plate moving along with the mat, for bridging the gap in the transition between two adjoining conveyor mats being at right angles to each other.
摘要:
A conveyor chain assembly including a multiplicity of rows of chain modules, each module includes a plurality of link ends with coaxially aligned openings. A chain pin passes through the coaxially aligned openings of adjacent modules. On the opposite ends of each module is a plug socket which is adapted to house a plug. The plug includes a shaft and an arm. The arm is moveable when the shaft is mounted in the socket between a first position in which the arm restricts axial movement of the chain pin and a second position in which the arm does not restrict axial movement of the chain pin.
摘要:
An article transfer apparatus has a conveyor provided with rotatable, article-supporting rollers. Movable article-spacing devices used in conjunction with the conveyor have stops, normally held down by gravity, and depressors, which are lowered and held down by an article resting thereon to raise the corresponding stops into the path of the articles. Accelerator pad means engaged by the rollers rotate the latter to augment advancement by the articles.
