Bearingless reciprocating slat-type conveyor assemblies

摘要

A tipper retrofit bearingless reciprocating slat-type conveyor assembly 200 for use in a load-holding compartment including a plurality of elongate hold down strips 220, a plurality of elongate guide trough subdecks 230, and a plurality of longitudinal slats 210 adjacent to and parallel to each other is described herein. Also described herein is a snap together bearingless reciprocating slat conveyor for use in a load-holding compartment (that has at least one cross-member having an overhang) that includes at least one reciprocating slat-type conveyor assembly 300, 400 and at least one elongate slat 310, 410 at least partially supported by at least one subdeck 330, 430. The at least one reciprocating slat-type conveyor assembly preferably includes at least one anchor 320, 420 (having at least one upper anchor subdeck engager 322, 422 and at least one lower anchor cross-member engager 324, 424) and at least one subdeck 330, 430 (having at least one upper subdeck anchor-slat engager 320, 420 and at least one lower subdeck cross-member engager 344, 444).

主权项

1. A reciprocating slat conveyor for use in a load-holding compartment, said reciprocating conveyor comprising:
(a) a plurality of elongate hold down strips, each hold down strip having subdeck engaging structure; (b) a plurality of elongate guide trough subdecks, each elongate guide trough subdeck having an elongate span between elongate slat supports, each elongate guide trough subdeck having slat engaging structure, and at least one elongate slat support having hold down strip engaging structure; and (c) a plurality of longitudinal slats adjacent to and parallel to each other, each slat having a plurality of substantially downwardly projecting legs, each leg having subdeck engaging structure; wherein each one of said plurality of elongate hold down strips is positioned below a single one of said elongate slat supports; and wherein said plurality of elongate hold down strips are laterally spaced and substantially parallel on a floor of said load-holding compartment, said hold down strip engaging structure engaging said subdeck engaging structure, and said slat engaging structure engaging said subdeck engaging structure to allow longitudinal movement of said longitudinal slats.
