The conveyor 1 includes a main frame 2, an auxiliary frame 3, a pedestal frame 4, a driving roller 5, a driven roller 6, a receiving roller 7, a belt 8 wound around these rollers, and a drive. And a device 9.

The main frame 2 is made of a stainless steel plate or the like and has a rectangular box shape (for example, a length of about 8.5 m, a width of about 0.4 mm, a depth of about 0.08 m), and is open at the bottom. The drive roller 5 is pivotally attached to one end portion, and the auxiliary frame 3 is provided to the other end portion. A driven roller 6 is axially attached to the auxiliary frame 3.

The auxiliary frame 3 is made of a stainless steel plate or the like and has a rectangular shape (for example, a length of about 0.5 m and a width of about 0.4 m), and is formed in an H shape as shown in FIG. The pin 2 is pivotally attached to the pin 2 by a pin 10 so as to rotate upward. Further, a guide slit 11 is formed at the other end in the longitudinal direction of the auxiliary frame 3, and a bearing portion 12 on which the driven roller 6 is attached is slidably fitted in the guide slit 11. A rod 13 is fixed to the bearing portion 12, and the rod 13 is loosely penetrated by a rod holding member 14 provided on the auxiliary frame 3. A stopper bolt 15 is provided on the rod holding member 14, and the bearing portion 12 is slid along the guide slit 11 to move the bearing portion 12 to a position where optimum tension is applied to the belt 8 and the stopper is stopped. The bolt 13 fixes the rod 13. Further, a cutout portion 16 is formed on the side surface in the longitudinal direction of the auxiliary frame 3 at a right angle to the longitudinal direction. It is fixed in line with the frame 2.

The pedestal frame 4 is provided at a plurality of locations (three locations in this embodiment) in the longitudinal direction of the main frame 2, and a reinforcing member 18 is provided between the pedestal frames 4. The pedestal frame 4 has a U-shaped lower horizontal member 19, a vertical member 20, and an upper horizontal member 21 as an upper frame arm. Then, for example, the lower horizontal member 19 and the upper horizontal member 21 are formed to have a length of about 0.4 m, and the vertical member 20 is formed to have a length of about 0.5 m.

The lower horizontal member 19 is made of a stainless steel square pipe, and is fixed to a vertical member 20 which is also made of a stainless steel square pipe in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the main frame 2. The upper horizontal member 21 is made of a stainless steel round pipe or square bar and is fixed to the vertical member 20 in parallel with the lower horizontal member 19. The end of the upper horizontal member 21 opposite to the vertical member 20 is attached to the vertical member 20. The plug member 22 is inserted. A female screw 23 is threaded on the plug member 22. As shown in FIG. 2, a hole 24 on the side of the main frame 2 is inserted into the upper horizontal member 21, and the bolt 25 is screwed into the female screw 23 through the hole 26 of the main frame 2. Then, the main frame 2 is fixed to the pedestal frame 4, and the main frame 2 is cantilevered by the pedestal frame 4. The vertical member 20 near the lower portion of the upper horizontal member 21 is provided with a roller mounting member 27 parallel to the upper horizontal member 21, and the receiving roller 7 is pivotally mounted on the roller mounting member 27. Further, both the caster 28 and the jack bolt 29 or any one of them is mounted on the lower surface of the predetermined lower horizontal member 19.

The belt 8 is made of a rubber belt or the like, and is wound around the drive roller 5 of the main frame 2 and the driven roller 6 of the auxiliary frame 3, and the lower surface of the wound belt 8 is received by the roller 7. The belt 8 is supported and prevented from sagging.

The drive device 9 includes a motor 30, a drive sprocket 31, a driven sprocket 32, and a chain 33.

The motor 30 is fixed to a base plate 34 provided between two pedestal frames 4 on the drive roller 5 side, a drive sprocket 31 is attached to the motor 30, and a driven sprocket 32 is driven. It is attached to the roller 5. A chain 33 is laid between the drive sprocket 31 and the driven sprocket 32. Further, a chain cover 35 is provided so as to surround the drive sprocket 31, the driven sprocket 32 and the chain 33.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, after the conveyor 1 is moved to the required place by the caster 28, the conveyor 1 is fixed by the jack bolt 29 and the motor 30 of the drive device 9 is driven. As a result, the drive sprocket 31 attached to the motor 30 rotates, and the driven sprocket 32 rotates via the chain 33, so that the drive roller 5 attached to the driven sprocket 32 rotates and the belt 8 runs. Therefore, the food on the belt 8 wound between the drive roller 5 and the driven roller 6 can be conveyed.

To remove the main frame 2 and the auxiliary frame 3 from the pedestal frame 4, first, the bolt 8 is loosened and removed from the plug member 22. The main frame 2 and the auxiliary frame 3 can be easily removed from the pedestal frame 4 by pulling the main frame 2 along the upper horizontal member 21 to the opposite side of the pedestal frame 4. To attach the main frame 2 and the auxiliary frame 3 to the pedestal frame 4, the hole 24 of the main frame 2 is inserted into the upper horizontal member 21, and the bolt 25 is inserted through the hole 26 of the main frame 2. This is achieved by screwing the female thread 23 of the plug member 22.

Further, in order to remove the belt 8 from the driving roller 5 and the driven roller 6 in order to wash the belt 8, the driving device 9 is stopped and the end portion of the auxiliary frame 3 is lifted to remove the auxiliary frame 3. When the notch 16 is removed from the convex member 17 of the main frame 2, the auxiliary frame 3 rotates upward with the pin 10 provided between the auxiliary frame 3 and the main frame 2 as the center of rotation. When the auxiliary frame 3 is set upright with respect to the main frame 2, the belt 8 wound between the driving roller 5 and the driven roller 6 is loosened. The belt 8 can be removed from the driving roller 5, the driven roller 6 and the receiving roller 7 by moving the belt 8 in the direction in which the vertical member 20 of the pedestal frame 4 does not exist.

When the belt 8 is wound around the driving roller 5 and the driven roller 6, the auxiliary frame 3 is set upright with respect to the main frame 2, and the auxiliary roller 3 of the auxiliary frame 3 and the main roller 2 are erected. The belt 8 is wound around the drive roller 5 of the frame 2 and the belt 8 is placed on the upper surface of the receiving roller 7, and then the auxiliary frame 3 is rotated downward so as to be in the same horizontal plane as the main frame 2. The notch portion 16 of the auxiliary frame 3 is fitted into the convex member 17 to integrate the auxiliary frame and the main frame 2.

When the belt 8 is loosened, the position of the bearing portion 12 of the driven roller 6 is moved by moving the rod 13 loosely penetrated by the rod holding member 14 to optimize the belt 8 with respect to the roller. An optimum tension can be applied to the belt 8 by finding a position where tension can be obtained and fixing the rod 13 to the rod holding member 14 with the fixing bolt 15 at this position.
