Description

Conveyor belt that can rotate freely {CONVEYOR BELT}

The present invention relates to a conveyor belt, and more particularly, a rotation having a new configuration so that vertical rotation as well as horizontal rotation can be performed individually or simultaneously, and a rotation radius can be minimized to increase space utilization It is about this free conveyor belt.

In general, a conveyor (Conveyor) is a conveying device of a caterpillar type that moves horizontally or vertically for various conveyed objects, and includes a conveyor body and a conveyor belt that is coupled thereto and rotates on an endless track.

Conveyors, which are such endless track-type transporting devices, are roughly classified into belt-type and chain-type conveyors depending on the type of conveyor belt.

In addition, it is divided into horizontal type, inclined type, vertical type and spiral type (spiral rotation type) according to the moving direction of the conveyed object.

Such a conveyor is widely applied to the industry of transporting various materials in a wide variety of industrial fields including manufacturing, logistics, food, agriculture, and fishery fields.

However, conventional conveyors have a problem in that most types of conveyors, such as horizontal type, inclined type, and vertical type, are configured to have linear conveying of various conveyed objects up and down, and it is difficult to change directions such as curved conveying, so there is a problem in that there is a limitation in use.

Accordingly, in order to overcome the limitations of use such as direction change, the Korean Utility Model No. 20-2009-0004624 discloses a "curved conveyor with a curved chain", and the domestic utility model No. 20-0324498 discloses " A curved belt conveyor having a curved belt” is disclosed.

However, the prior art has a limitation in that it is difficult to move spatially, such as being able to perform only horizontal transfer by changing the direction, and there is a problem in that space utilization is poor, such as taking up a lot of space due to a large turning radius on the curved side.

In addition, although a spiral type conveyor that enables spatial transport through a spiral installation is disclosed and used as in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1144411, it is a conveyor belt with a rotating drum installed in the center and a spiral direction on the outside thereof. As a configuration to connect and install the conveyor, the rotational curvature and the rotational radius are large when the conveyor is spirally installed, which occupies a lot of space.

On the other hand, the conventional conveyor is often used to transport aquatic products or agricultural products, etc. In this case, there was a problem that the debris or foreign substances attached to the seafood or agricultural products came off and got caught on the conveyor side belt or chain and frame, which caused the sudden operation of the conveyor to stop There was a problem that prevented smooth operation, such as, and caused malfunction.
