Channel type section conveyor belt with corrugated sidewalls - has troughs of corrugations sloping upwards to corrugated top edges and lying between stiffening sides which form hollow spaces outside

摘要

A rubber or similar conveyor belt has corrugated walls and a type of cross-section, whose conveying side troughs in the corrugations are at least partly filled with an elastic material. The troughs on that conveying side slope and taper upwards from the inner crests to the corrugated tops of the sidewalls and they have an expandable release area, as the elastic trough filling material forms hollow spaces open on the outer side. At least two sides of corrugations each contain a hollow space, beside stiffening the sidewall. The example shown has the rubber side (3) inclined at an angle where it carries the material conveyed. It is elastic and has the crests (2) in its corrugations; these (2) are anchored into the bases of the sidewalls and their top edge forms the corrugations (KG). The oblique faces (3) taper off into the troughs (1) and they provide the flexible release surface for the material conveyed. The outer side (AS) of the walls forms the hollow spaces (H). ADVANTAGE - The design has good self-cleaning properties without loss of stability or service life in its sidewalls even when they have a heavy construction. It does not significantly use additional material over existing designs.
