Telescopic conveyor

Abstract

The present invention provides a telescopic conveyor (1) having at least two conveyor belts (10). Said belts are arranged one above the other and can be moved relative to one another in the longitudinal direction. Each conveyor belt (10) here has a frame (11), a circulatory belt (12) and a first deflecting roller (13) at a first end (A), and a second deflecting roller (14) at a second end (B), ofthe conveyor belt (10), wherein the second end (B) is a transfer end of the conveyor belt (10), and wherein a bridging device (2', 2) is provided between in each case two adjacent conveyor belts (10)located one above the other, and said device bridges, at least to some extent, the difference in height (H) between the two conveyor belts (10) arranged one above the other, it being necessary for said difference in height to be overcome at the transfer end. The bridging device (2) comprises a ramp (3, 3') with a slope (S) and also a first deflecting roller (4), which is arranged at the higher endof the ramp (3, 3'), as well as a first holding-down device (5), which is arranged beneath the first deflecting roller (4), and also a second holding-down device (7) at the foot of the ramp (3, 3').The circulatory belt (12) of the respectively lower conveyor belt (10) is guided, from a conveying plane (E1) beneath the second holding-down device (7), over the ramp (3, 3') with the slope (S) and,from there, is deflected over the first deflecting roller (4) and guided back to the conveying plane (E1) beneath the first holding-down device (5). The slope (S) of the ramp (3, 3') continues in stepless fashion tangentially along the circulatory belt (12) of the conveyor belt (10) located above, said circulatory belt being guided over its second end-side deflecting roller (14).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a telescopic conveyor with two or more conveyor belts placed one above the other and movable relative to each other in the longitudinal direction and with bridging means which bridge the conveyor belt at the transfer end The height difference between two conveyor belts placed one above the other to be overcome. Background technique [0002] Telescopic conveyor devices are known from the prior art, which consist of two or more conveyor belts which are runnable relative to each other in the longitudinal The delivery device can be collapsed together to save space to fit the delivery section and / or when not in use. [0003] Since the telescopic conveyor belts or conveyor belt sections are placed one above the other, the ends are layered one above the other, the conveyed goods can only be transported in one direction when no aids are provided on the instrumental side, i.e. Transported from the upper conveyor belt to the lower conv...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although conveyed goods that are too small cannot overcome the partial height provided by the rollers or the height difference up to the bent end section, in the case of round and / or elastic items, abutting edges can cause these items to be pushed run or jump out of the way; may even result in getting stuck in the case of sharp edges or small, flat objects
