VIBRATORY CONVEYOR

摘要

A vibratory conveyor (1) has a conveyor tray (20) flexibly mounted by beam springs (21) on a frame (10) which, in turn, is flexibly mounted on a base 30 by spring mounts (35, 36). The conveyor has a vibrating mechanism in the form of an eccentric shaft (42) driven by a motor (41). The vibrating mechanism (42) vibrates a counterweight (48) which is flexibly connected to the frame (10) by beam springs (49). The vibratory forces imparted to the frame (10) by the counterweight (48) result in minimal vibration of the frame (10) but are transferred to the conveyor tray (42) to provide the required amplitude of vibration of the tray in a longitudinal direction.
