Conveying arrangement for use with a transport member

摘要

A conveying arrangement is provided for a transport member for conveying product. The transport member traverses on rollers inside a conveying arrangement which includes a plurality of tunnel shaped guide channel segments connectable together via end flanges. A continuous opening is provided on the underside of each channel segment in a conveying direction to accommodate a device attached to the transport member to take over conveying of the product. Guide rail elements inside the channel segments support run surface elements which present a rolling surface for the transport member. At least one run surface element has an excess length, relative to the length of the guide channel segment. An adapter element including a transition piece is positioned at least in a region of a separating plane between adjacent flanges to present a planar transition for the rolling surface of the at least one run surface element.

1. A conveying arrangement for use with a transport member that traverses inside the conveying arrangement along rollers to convey product in a conveying direction along a conveying section, the conveying arrangement comprising:
a plurality of guide channel segments connected together in the conveying direction, each guide channel segment being tunnel shaped in the conveying direction and having end flanges via which the guide channel segments are connected together, the guide channel segments each having an underside including a continuous opening in the conveying direction to accommodate a device to take over a conveying of the product along the conveying arrangement, wherein the interior of the guide channel segments and flanges includes guide rail elements; run surface elements supported on the guide rail elements and presenting a rolling surface for the transport member, wherein at least one run surface element has an excess length, relative to the length of the respective guide channel segment, wherein the excess length of the run surface element belonging to a guide channel segment extends at least up to a stop location within the flange that is connected to the guide channel segment and that a transition section is formed that extends from the stop location to the end of the flange; and at least one adapter element associated with the at least one run surface element fixed between adjacent flanges and comprising a two transition pieces arranged adjacent to one another along the moving direction of the transport member, at least in the region of a separating plane between the adjacent flanges, which operate jointly and integrally cover the transition distances of both flanges up to the respective end stop location for the run surface elements in the flange; wherein the excess length of the run surface element combined with the transition pieces present a planar transition for the rolling surface of the at least one run surface element.
