STEEL CORD CONVEYOR BELT WITH A CONNECTING HINGE FOR COUPLING TWO BELT ENDS

摘要

A conveyor belt with a strength support layer consisting of steel cords running in parallel has, at each end, the hinge-like formation for coupling to another belt end. In order also to provide a hinge connection for steel cord conveyoer belts having relatively large cord diameters, each belt end (1, 2) has a respective partial hinge (6, 7). Each partial hinge (6 and 7) has a hinge bolt (12 and 13) on which a respective integrated clamping plate (14 and 15) is integrally formed. The integrated clamping plate (14 and 15) is embedded in the one belt outer surface (18) of the conveyor belt. On the opposite belt outer surface (22), a corresponding, separate clamping plate (24 and 27) is embedded in each case in the rubber cover layer there. The respective clamping plates of each partial hinge securely clamp the particular, thickness-reduced belt end there between.
