    摘要: In an aspect, a conveyor system is provided for a vehicle having wheels. The conveyor system includes a conveyor having an inlet end positioned to receive a vehicle to be conveyed, and an exit end positioned for exiting of the vehicle off of the conveyor, and a surface positioned proximate to at least one of the inlet end and the exit end. The surface is positioned to support at least one of the wheels while at least another of the wheels is supported on the conveyor. The surface has surface properties selected such that a coefficient of friction between the surface and tire rubber is below a selected threshold so as to permit sliding of the at least one of the wheels on the surface while the at least another of the wheels is supported on the conveyor.

    摘要: A rollerless idler module and a vehicle conveyor system having the same are provided. The vehicle conveyor system has an endless belt, a drive end at which the endless belt is driven to rotate, and an idler end opposite the drive end. The rollerless idler module includes a rollerless idler having a working surface positionable to contact the endless belt spanning between an upper transport portion of the endless belt and a lower return portion of the endless belt at the idler end, and a support structure adapted to secure the rollerless idler in a substantially stationary orientation.

    摘要: In an aspect, there is provided a correlator for guiding a vehicle onto a vehicle conveyor. The correlator includes a wheel support surface defining a receiving end of the correlator and a conveyor-interfacing end of the correlator. The wheel support surface is positioned to support a wheel of the vehicle as the wheel rolls thereon. The correlator further includes at least one guide structure positioned to guide a wheel of the vehicle laterally during travel of the wheel on the wheel support surface from the receiving end towards the conveyor-interfacing end. The wheel support surface has a surface region having surface properties selected such that a coefficient of friction between the surface region and tire rubber is sufficiently low to prevent the wheel from having sufficient traction on the surface region to enable climbing of the wheel onto the at least one guide structure.

    摘要: A conveyor system is provided, including an endless belt and a support deck. The endless belt is mounted in a longitudinal direction through a service line, the endless belt having an upper transport portion adapted to move a wheeled structure through the service line, and a lower return portion. The support deck is positioned below the upper transport portion of the endless belt to support the endless belt. The support deck has a belt contact surface extending along a top of the support deck and in contact with the upper transport portion of the endless belt. The belt contact surface is at least partially constructed from a material that is at least partially a polymer, and has a set of inserts having a greater abrasion resistance than the material.

    摘要: A conveyor system has an endless belt with an upper transport portion sized to support a wheeled structure, and a lower return portion. A support deck is positioned to support the upper transport portion of the endless belt, the support deck includes a lower support deck structure, and wear plates that are supported on the lower support deck structure. The support deck includes alignment aperture pairs. Each alignment aperture pair includes a first alignment aperture through the lower support deck structure, and a second alignment aperture through one of the plurality of wear plates. A belt-rinsing system is provided and includes a plurality of rinsing system outlet bodies, wherein each of the plurality of rinsing system outlet bodies extends into one of the first alignment apertures of the lower support deck structure and into one of the second alignment apertures of one of the plurality of wear plates.
