1 TARIFF TUBE CHAIN CONVEYOR WITH REPLACEABLE CARRIER DISC STRUCTURE TECHNICAL AREA 5 The invention is in the technical field of industrial material handling systems, for bulk and / or granular materials. The materials are conveyed through a closed pipeline via conveyor discs connected by a chain. A pipe chain conveyor system with a replaceable carrier disc structure that enables transportation. It is related to. 10 STATE OF THE ART Today, powders and granules are used in industrial fields such as food, feed, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, plastics, mining, etc. 15 between different points of the production line of granular and / or other bulk materials Various conveyor systems are used for transportation purposes. For this purpose, belt conveyors are used. screw / helical conveyors, pneumatic conveying systems, bucket elevators, and chain conveyors. Different solutions are known, such as these systems. The selection of these systems depends on the transportation method. physical properties of the material, transport distance, transport direction, facility layout, hygiene Parameters such as requirements and capacity are influential. 20 Especially for powders and fine particles in open and / or semi-open conveying systems. During the transportation of materials, there is a risk of material being released into the environment. This situation not only results in the loss of the transported product, but also causes dust to form in the production environment. and causes the product to come into contact with foreign substances that may come from the external environment. 25 This is possible, especially in sectors where hygiene is important, such as food and pharmaceuticals, during product transportation. During this period, contact with the external environment should be limited as much as possible. The spread of dusty materials into the environment makes it difficult to keep the production area clean. and creates a need for additional cleaning. Another disadvantage of known transportation systems is that traffic flows in different directions on the same transport line. The problem is that material transportation is not always easy. For example, in a production process... In the facility, the material is first moved horizontally, then to a certain height. It may need to be removed and then moved in a different direction. This type of Connecting multiple conveyors or different transport equipment in applications 35 This may be necessary; consequently, the number of pieces of equipment used within the facility may vary depending on the needs. Installation area and system complexity can increase. In pipe chain conveyor systems, the pipe 2 While transportation in different directions is possible using turns, numerous changes of direction are also possible. this increases the resistance of movement and creates additional mechanical loads on the load-bearing elements. This can cause it to come. Pipe chain 5 uses carrier discs attached to a chain that move inside a closed pipe. In conveyor systems, carrier discs are positioned at specific intervals along the chain, and As a result of the chain's movement, the material inside the pipe moves from the entry point to the exit point. It is transported by dragging. This structure creates a closed transport line and allows for horizontal and vertical movement. or allows transportation on inclined routes. However, the word In these systems, the carrier disks are constantly subjected to mechanical stresses during operation. is exposed. The discs move through the tube, especially when passing through the turning points. and resistances arising from the material being transported; wear and bending of the discs over time, This can cause deformation or fracture. It has abrasive properties. While adhesive materials can accelerate the wear of pipes and support elements, Materials with high cohesive properties accumulate on the surfaces of discs and pipes, reducing resistance to movement by 15. This can increase the risk of damage to the chain and carrier elements. Inappropriate chain tension can also affect the chain and carrier elements. It can increase wear and tear. Damage to the carrier discs is a significant problem, especially from a maintenance perspective. It consists of 20 carrier discs that are permanently, integrally or easily separable from the chain. in structures where they are connected in this way, the failure or unusability of a single disk In this situation, it becomes difficult to repair only the damaged part. For example, a chain. If only one of the numerous carrier discs along the route cracks, wears out, or If it becomes deformed, the disc cannot be replaced independently of the chain. This may require intervention in an extensive chain-drive assembly. The carrier drives are 25. In some known configurations where the disk is integrated with a chain or carrier structure, disk replacement It is also known that it can be very costly. This situation applies to those that are not yet available. The chain and other carrier discs are also affected by the maintenance process, requiring more labor for maintenance. and this leads to wasted time and the conveyor being out of service for a longer period. This is possible. Especially in facilities with continuous production, conveyor lines may require maintenance for 30 days. Stopping it would also stop the operation of other production equipment connected to the conveyor. This can affect and disrupt production continuity. Furthermore, the connection between the disc and the chain is not conducive to maintenance and parts replacement, This complicates periodic maintenance procedures. The carrier disc, chain, and related mechanical components... 35 The fact that the elements cannot be dealt with individually and easily; small-scale damage This can lead to a more comprehensive maintenance process. Therefore, the carrier 3 If the disks reach the end of their service life or are individually damaged, only The relevant carrier disc is removed and replaced with a new one without interfering with the rest of the chain. A structure is needed that allows for modification.

In particular, a machine available under the drive discharge hopper (6.9), 20 due to the presence of equipment or similar structural elements, the product is directly downward In cases where emptying is not possible, the product is discharged via the elbow connector (10.2). The flow direction is changed and the product passes through the connecting pipe (10.1) over the said obstacle. It is being transmitted to an area outside of this region. In an example application, the pipe chain conveyor (K) extends toward a wall and the drive discharge where there is a machine, etc. obstacle (12) already installed under the funnel (6.9). In this case, the drive discharge hopper (6.9) must have at least one elbow fitting (10.2) and at least one The connecting pipe (10.1) is connected. The elbow connector (10.2) is axis-bound. By rotating it around, the product flow can be directed to the right, left, or a different direction as required by the plant geometry. being directed in the direction; discharge position available via connecting pipe (10.1) The discharge is thus shifted outside the area where the machine is located. preferably a storage tank (11) or another to which the product will be transferred, below its location. The equipment can be positioned. 35 It is necessary to move the discharge location to a more distant or different area. in applications multiple elbow connection elements (10.2) and connection pipe (10.1) together 13 can be used. Angular positions of elbow connection elements (10.2) relative to each other Drainage by changing and selecting connecting pipes (10.1) of suitable lengths The geometry of the (10) line can be adapted to the existing layout of the facility.
