SLAT CONVEYOR APPARATUS

摘要

To provide a slat conveyor apparatus in which course change path parts are moved without inverting the upper and lower sides of slats to eliminate the need for an expensive pitting work, wherein the slats can be held horizontally by a simplified configuration on the course change path parts at front and back ends in the direction of conveyance, whereby the length of the working process does not become shorter, and a required inverting action can be made by a simplified configuration.;Endless chains 2C are connected to front ends of the slats 3 in a traveling direction F, a supported means B to be supported at the course change path parts C1 is provided to back ends of the slats 3 in the traveling direction F, a movable supporting means C is provided to the course change path parts C1 to support the supported means B from below and hold the slats 3 in the horizontal posture, and the movable supporting means C repeatedly travels back and forth in the vertical direction in conjunction with movement of the endless chains 2C and moves to a position at which to support the supported means B from below only when the supported means B passes through the course change path parts C1.

主权项

1. A slat conveyor apparatus configured to have a vertical circulation path in which a conveyance path part and a return path part linearly arranged one above the other are connected at end portions thereof by course change path parts to convey a subject to be conveyed by the conveyance path part while moving a large number of slats by endless chains, and move the slats on the course change path parts without inverting the upper and lower sides of the slats, wherein
the endless chains are connected to either one of front and back ends of the slats in a traveling direction and a supported means to be supported at the course change path parts is provided to the other ends of the slats, a movable supporting means is provided to at least one of the course change path parts at front and back sides of the traveling direction of the slats to support the supported means from below and hold the slats in the horizontal posture, and the movable supporting means repeatedly travels back and forth in the vertical direction between the end portion of the conveyance path part and the end portion of the return path part in conjunction with movement of the endless chains and moves to a position at which to support the supported means from below only when the supported means passes through the course change path parts.
