TRANSFER STATION ASSEMBLY FOR SCRAPER CHAIN-CONVEYORS

摘要

A transfer station between a scraper-chain face conveyor (1) and a scraper-chain roadway conveyor in a mine working has a frame (4), preferably of a cross frame (4), for guiding the scraper-chain assemblies of the conveyor so that material discharges from the face conveyor to the roadway conveyor. The frame has a pair of spaced-apart side walls with identical connecting blocks (21) fitted to their exteriors thus allowing the mine working to be attached to the frame (4) optionally on the left or right. The connecting blocks have pockets for receiving couplers and depressions which form bearing half-shells (34) for a support (33) for a drum around which the scraper-chain assembly of the roadway conveyor passes. The connecting blocks (21) on each side wall can connect with connecting blocks of the drum support or with connecting blocks (21) on an endmost ramp pan of the roadway conveyor so that the pan and the drum support can be interchanged in position.
