DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Hereinafter, an embodiment of a conveyor apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Referring to the accompanying drawings, the same or corresponding components are denoted by the same reference numerals, Is omitted.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a conveyor apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view showing a part of a conveyor apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are views showing an operating state of a conveyor apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a conveyor apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a belt 110, a pair of meandering sensors 120, a meandering rectifying roller 130, and a first adjuster 140 .

The belt 110 may be a reversible belt capable of receiving the carrier and being movable in both directions. Shipment may be fuel or raw material used in steelworks.

The pair of meandering sensors 120 may be installed on one side of the belt 110 and detect the skew of the belt 110 by contact with the belt 110. The term 'meandering' as used herein means that when the conveyed article accommodated in the belt 110 is united to one side, the belt 110 is pushed to one side and the moving direction of the belt 110 is changed.

The sagittal calibration of the belt can be performed by adjusting the arrangement angle of the meandering calibration roller 130 with respect to the belt 110.

Here, the placement angle means an angle formed between the advancing direction of the belt 110 and the meandering correcting roller 130.

When the belt 110 slips, the mending straightening roller 130 is disposed obliquely with respect to the advancing direction of the belt 110 so that the belt 110 ), In which case the angle of placement is not perpendicular.

In the process of calibrating the meandering, it is necessary to detect the meandering of the belt 110 before the meandering correction roller 130 adjusts the placement angle.

Therefore, with respect to the direction in which the belt 110 advances, the meandering straightening roller 130 is generally disposed behind the meandering portion.

In the case of the reversible belt capable of moving in both directions, the meandering line is generated differently according to the traveling direction of the belt 110. In the case of the meandering straightening roller 130, It is difficult to control the meandering.

In the case where each of the meander detection units 120 is disposed opposite to the belt 110, the meander detection unit 120 may contact the belt 110 at the same time and receive a wrong signal.

In order to prevent this, the meander detection unit 120 may include a first meandering sensor 121 and a second meander detection unit 122.

The first meandering detection unit 121 can detect meandering by contact with the belt 110 when the belt 110 moves in the forward direction. When the belt 110 moves in the reverse direction, the second meandering sensor 122 can detect the meandering by the contact with the belt 110. The first meandering sense unit 121 and the second meandering sense unit 122 may be selectively moved downward according to the direction of the belt 110.

Each of the meander detection portions 120 may include a body 124, a rolling portion 123, and a return portion 125.

The rolling part 123 can be coupled to the upper part of the body 124 and can be moved together with the upward and downward movement of the body 124. The rolling portion 123 can be rotated in the moving direction of the belt by the contact with the moving belt 110. [ This can reduce friction due to contact with the belt being meandered. The rolling part 123 may be formed in a cylindrical shape extending in the longitudinal direction of the body.

The pressure plate 127 may be fixed to the outer circumferential surface of the body 124 so that the pressure plate 127 is moved together with the movement of the body 124. The pressure plate 127 can press the elastic member 128 when the body 124 moves downward by the first adjuster 140.

The receptacle 126 can receive the elastic member 128 and the pressure plate 127. The diameter of the cross section of the receiver 126 may be larger than the diameter of the pressure plate 127. [ A stopper may be formed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the receptor 126 so that the pressure plate 127 and the elastic member 128 do not separate the receptor 126 from the outside.
