Conveyor belt cleaner with removable cleaner assembly

摘要

A conveyor belt cleaner is provided having a removable cleaner assembly that may be easily connected and disconnected from an elongate support member. The cleaner assembly includes one or more scraper blades mounted to an angle bar, an interface between the blades and the angle bar, and an interface between the blades and the support member. The blades have bodies that cover or surround the interfaces and reduce the likelihood of debris entering the interfaces and binding the blades to the angle bar and/or the support member. The cleaner further includes a securing mechanism with a pair of clamps for clamping the angle bar against seats of the elongate support. The clamps cause the angle bar to hold a base portion of the blades against the support member which permits the blade base portions to transmit loading from the conveyor belt directly to the support member.

主权项

1. A scraper blade for scraping material from a conveyor belt running in a downstream travel direction, the scraper blade comprising:
an upper scraping portion; a resilient, lower body portion; a through opening extending through the lower body portion in a lateral direction transverse to the downstream travel direction for receiving a complimentary elongate mounting member therethrough; a pair of ends of the through opening spaced from each other in the downstream travel direction; and a non-linear configuration of the through opening as the through opening extends in the downstream travel direction from one end of the through opening to the other end, wherein the non-linear configuration of the through opening is elongated extending from one end of the through opening to the other end.
