Conveyer belt

Abstract

An endless transfer belt is provided, having a reinforced joint without raising the stiffness of the joint. This is achieved in a belt 1 comprising a flat belt 1a consisting of a base member 2, an obverse fibrous layer 3 and a reverse fibrous layer 4 intertwiningly integrated. Joining clips 5 are fixed at both ends of the belt. The parts of the belt to which where the joining clips 5 are fixed are reinforced by impregnating them with resin or spreading them with resin and allowing the resin to infiltrate into the belt. The strength in the reinforced parts is improved without raising the stiffness of the flat belt 1a. Thus, fatigue due to bending of the reinforced parts is decreased, and breakage of the belt is prevented.

Description

field of invention The present invention relates to a conveyor belt, in particular a conveyor belt for conveying molded parts from one process to another at high temperatures. Background of the invention Usually, during the manufacture of molded parts, such as the molding of aluminum parts, high temperatures are experienced, which needs to be taken into account when transferring the workpiece to a subsequent process. For example, when an aluminum compact is extruded from an extrusion die, the temperature is often very high, on the order of 550°C to 600°C. When the pressed products are cooled, they are conveyed to subsequent processes on the initial roller table, output roller table, transfer roller table, cooling roller table, stretching roller table, etc. Roller conveyors are usually conveyed by claw chains or pulleys. In both cases, however, conveyor belts are used to transport the molded parts. The conveyor belt is generally a flat belt, including a base member compos...

Problems solved by technology

Moreover, if the reinforcement cloth 9 of the conveyor belt 100 sticks to the part of the connecting device 5 extending in the belt, the stiffness of the reinforcement cloth also increases

In this way, the reinforcement cloth 9 and the base member 20 may eventually peel off or the reinforcement cloth 9 or the base member 20 will fracture due to bending fatigue.
