Turnaround curve system for chain conveyor system, determines path by position of specific linkages to conserve distance between links, where paths and curves of paths are defined by preset equations respectively

摘要

The system has chain with linear traction driven by guides having geometry obtained by curves corresponding to paths. The path (1-2) between points (1,2) and path (5-6) between points (5,6), define a constant linear speed parallel to straight section of conveyor system between turnaround sections. The path (3-4) is determined by position of specific linkages to conserve distance between links. The paths and curves of paths are defined by preset equations respectively. The geometry of guide is defined by rolling path of roller when linkages follow defined paths.
