Slat conveyor

Abstract

To provide a slat conveyor apparatus in which course change path parts are moved without inverting the upper and lower sides of slats to eliminate the need for an expensive pitting work, wherein the slats can be held horizontally by a simplified configuration on the course change path parts at front and back ends in the direction of conveyance, whereby the length of the working process does not become shorter, and a required inverting action can be made by a simplified configuration. Endless chains 2C are connected to front ends of the slats 3 in a traveling direction F, a supported means B to be supported at the course change path parts C1 is provided to back ends of the slats 3 in the traveling direction F, a movable supporting means C is provided to the course change path parts C1 to support the supported means B from below and hold the slats 3 in the horizontal posture, and the movable supporting means C repeatedly travels back and forth in the vertical direction in conjunction with movement of the endless chains 2C and moves to a position at which to support the supported means B from below only when the supported means B passes through the course change path parts C1.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a slat conveying device having a vertical circulation path in which the ends of a conveying path portion and a returning path portion located up and down in a straight line are connected to each other by a path changing path portion, while passing through an endless chain The object to be conveyed is conveyed through the conveyance path portion while moving a plurality of slats, and the slats are moved in the route change path portion without turning the upper and lower surfaces of the slats. Background technique [0002] There is a vertical circulation path that connects the ends of the conveyance path portion and the return path portion positioned up and down in a straight line through the route change path portion, and the plurality of slats pass through the conveyance path while moving along the vertical circulation path. Since the slat conveying device for conveying objects to be conveyed by the path section does n...

Problems solved by technology

[0019] Therefore, in view of the aforementioned situation, the present invention aims to provide a slat conveying device that can move the slats in the route change path without turning over the upper and lower surfaces, thereby eliminating the need for expensive foundation pit construction. In the route changing path at the end, the slats can be held horizontally with a simple structure, so the length of the work process will not be shortened, the impact will not be repeated, and the slats will not slip. The structure is used to perform the reverse operation required in the case of temporarily reversing due to a biting accident and then recovering, or in the case of forward and backward operations, and the size of the chain roller of the endless chain will not increase. Even if the weight is heavy, the slats will not interfere with each other in the path change path
