Lateral plate element for a link means included in a self-stacking endless conveyor belt

摘要

A lateral plate element (6, 6′) for a link means (4, 4′) for a self-stacking, helical endless conveyor belt (1), the lateral plate element, comprises an outer plate section (10), an inner plate section (20) and a bridging plate section (30) bridging the outer and inner plate sections (10, 20). The outer plate section (10) comprises a top subsection (11) extending in a first plane and wherein the inner plate section (20) comprises a top subsection (21) extending in a second plane, the second plane being offset, in an inward direction (A). The outer plate section (10) further comprises a bottom subsection (12) arranged in a bottom part of the outer plate section (10) and extending in a third plane being offset in the inward direction (A) with regard to the first plane. The lateral plate element further comprises a reinforcement (13) extending between the top subsection (11) and the bottom subsection (12) of the outer plate section (10).

主权项

1. A lateral plate element for a link means included in a self-stacking endless conveyor belt, in which the conveyor belt extends helically along part of its length, comprising:
an outer plate section, an inner plate section and a bridging plate section bridging said outer and inner plate sections, wherein said outer plate section comprises a top subsection extending in a first plane and wherein said inner plate section comprises a top subsection extending in a second plane, said second plane being offset, in an inward direction, with regard to said first plane, wherein said second plane is substantially parallel with said first plane, wherein said inner plate section further comprises a bottom subsection arranged in a bottom part of said inner plate section and extending in a fourth plane being offset in said inward direction with regard to said second plane, wherein said fourth plane is substantially parallel with said second plane, wherein said outer plate section further comprises a bottom subsection arranged in a bottom part of said outer plate section and extending in a third plane being offset in said inward direction with regard to said first plane, wherein said third plane is substantially parallel with said first plane, and a reinforcement extending between the top subsection and the bottom subsection of the outer plate section, wherein the reinforcement is in the form of a press shaped structure bulging in an outward direction opposite said inward direction.
