Vehicle-mounted conveyor system including powered rotating infeed conveyor

摘要

A vehicle-mounted conveyor system including an infeed conveyor assembly mounted for powered rotation relative to the vehicle. The conveyor system includes a discharge conveyor assembly pivotally mounted to a main turret, which in turn is mounted to a primary turntable for powered rotation relative to the vehicle. The discharge conveyor assembly includes a telescoping boom and a moving discharge conveyor belt to supply an aggregate material, such as concrete, to a desired point at the work site. An infeed conveyor assembly is rotatably mounted to the main turret by a powered secondary turntable. The powered secondary turntable is mechanically driven by a drive mechanism, such that the infeed conveyor assembly can be rotated relative to the main turret. The secondary turntable and the primary turntable are independently operable and rotate about a common vertical axis, such that the infeed conveyor assembly and the discharge conveyor assembly can be independently rotated relative to the vehicle.

id="REI-00005" date="20160126" 1. A vehicle-mounted conveyor system for transporting material from a supply source to a desired location, the conveyor system comprising:
a mechanically driven primary turntable mounted on the vehicle; a main turret mounted to the primary turntable for rotation relative to the vehicle; a discharge conveyor assembly mounted to the main turret for rotation with the main turret, the discharge conveyor assembly including a telescoping boom pivotally mounted to the main turret for movement between a raised position and a lowered position; a lift cylinder coupled to the discharge conveyor assembly to move the telescoping boom between the raised position and the lowered position; a mechanically driven secondary turntable mounted to the main turret; an infeed conveyor assembly mounted to the secondary turntable for rotation relative to the main turret, wherein the primary turntable and the secondary turntable are independently operable; and a second lift cylinder coupled to the infeed conveyor assembly to move the infeed conveyor assembly between a raised position and a lowered position, wherein the infeed conveyor assembly contacts the ground in the lowered position and is above horizontal in the raised position.
