Description

Flexible Conveyor and Conveyor Belt Free of Rotation

The present invention relates to a flexible conveyor and a conveyor belt, and more particularly, a new configuration that allows vertical rotation as well as left and right rotation to be performed individually or simultaneously, and to increase space utilization by minimizing the turning radius It relates to a flexible conveyor and a freely rotating conveyor belt having a new configuration that allows vertical rotation as well as horizontal rotation to be performed individually or simultaneously, and to minimize the rotation radius to increase space utilization.

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 a caterpillar-type transport device for transport, 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 the manufacturing field, the logistics field, the food field, the agricultural and fishery field, and the like.

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

Accordingly, in order to overcome the limitations in 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 rotation 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, conventional conveyors are often used to transport aquatic products or agricultural products, and at this time, there was a problem in that residues or foreign substances attached to aquatic products or agricultural products came off and caught on the conveyor side belt or chain and frame, which caused the sudden operation stop of the conveyor There was a problem that prevented smooth operation, such as, and caused malfunction.
