BE898533A - Unclogging process and unclogging disc of conveyor supports and conveyor belts of the roller type comprising discs arranged on a flexible link. - Google Patents

Abstract

In accordance with the invention, the unclogging of the discs is obtained under the mechanical action of parts of the blade of the discs which deform, hence unclogging by erosion, disintegration or bursting of the clogging deposits or crusts. The unclogging disc is cut by slots, notches, notches or slots allowing, under the action of the conveyor belt, of the products which it transports and even of the shocks which it can receive, a disintegration of any clogging produced by the material. transported or being trained.

  Unclogging process and unclogging disc of conveyor supports and conveyor belts of the roller type comprising discs arranged on a flexible link Inventor: Bernard MOSSOT

 <Desc / Clms Page number 2>

 
The present invention relates to supports for conveyor belts of the roller type comprising discs arranged on a flexible link.



   This type of disc support is likely to equip conveyors or conveyor belts with trough showing a more or less pronounced trough angle and working intensively.



   The discs per se are most often of the limbus type.



   The transported materials (fertilizers, sands, ores, coal, coke, potash, beets, chemicals ...) produce a clogging of the discs by fouling, stuffing and accumulation of materials where the formation of a deposit or crust on the discs.



   The present invention aims to obtain a cleaning of the discs by crumbling, disintegration or bursting of the clogging deposits or crusts.



   According to the invention, unclogging is obtained under the mechanical action of parts of the blade of the discs which deform, resulting in a reduction in pieces or dust of clogging deposits and crusts.



   The invention also relates to an unclogging disc, the characteristic of which is to present a blade cut out by slits, notches, notches or slots allowing under the action of the conveyor belt, the products which it carries and even the shocks which it can receive, a disaggregation of any clogging produced by the material transported or being formed.



   The cleaning disc can also be cleaned as it becomes dirty, the belt or the conveyor being in use.



   Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge from the description which follows made with reference to the appended drawing in which: - Figure 1 is a diametral sectional view of a disc according to the invention; and - Figure 2 is a side elevational view of part of this disc.

   In the embodiment shown, a disc of a disc support assembly mounted on a flexible link (whatever the nature of this link) has a hub (1) a central veil or flange (2) and a blade (3 ) extending around the periphery of the web (2) and on either side of the latter.



   According to the invention, the limb in its two parts (on either side of the veil 2) is cut with notches, slots, notches or slots J4).



   The parts of the blade which remain have the possibility, due to these notches, to deform under the action of the conveyor belt which transports the product and possibly receives shocks, hence a cleaning of the discs, that this clogging is already trained or in training.



   The cleaning disc, like all the cleaning discs on a disc holder, can be cleaned as they become dirty, while the conveyor or the conveyor belt is in service.



   The notches, slits, notches or slots (4) which preferably open on the two edges of the limb of the disc can be practiced in a symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangement, repeated or not.



   Thus, in the embodiment shown, the notches (4) are staggered.



   The notches, slits, notches or slots (4) can be made according to a cut of a varied regular or irregular design.



   Thus in the embodiment shown, the notches (4) each have the shape of a "V" opening to the outside.



   It is understood, finally, that the present invention has only been described and shown as a preferred example and that it will be possible to provide equivalences in its constituent elements without, however, departing from the scope of the invention .
