Problems solved by technology

Prior art systems for joining together multiple mobile conveyors / mobile conveyor sections are inadequate.
For example, such prior art systems result in time consuming, difficult and dangerous assembly.
Because of the e.g. press fitting, weldment or bolting required, prior art systems are also difficult to disassemble.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]FIG. 1 depicts an exemplary embodiment of a mobile conveyor system. In an exemplary embodiment, the mobile conveyor system includes a first mobile conveyor (or first mobile conveyor section) 1 with a first mobile conveyor frame 1a and a second mobile conveyor (or second mobile conveyor section) 2 with a second mobile conveyor frame 2a. As shown in FIGS. 2-5, the mobile conveyor system also includes a connection device 10. The connection device 10 can be used for attaching and detaching the first mobile conveyor frame 1a to and from the second mobile conveyor frame 2a. In an exemplary embodiment, the connection device 10 is laterally disposed between the first mobile conveyor section 1 and the second mobile conveyor section 2 and attached to the first mobile conveyor frame 1a and the second mobile conveyor frame 2a.

[0023]FIG. 3A depicts an exemplary embodiment of a first portion 20 of the connection device 10. The first portion 20 of the connection device 10 may be connected t...

Abstract

A connection device for attaching and detaching a frame of a first mobile conveyor section to or from a frame of a second mobile conveyor section comprising: a first portion comprising an upper first portion clamp, a lower first portion clamp and a first middle nub portion disposed between the upper and lower first portion clamps, the first middle nub portion comprising a spherical bearing with a pin disposed laterally therethough; a second portion comprising an upper second portion clamp, a lower second portion clamp and a second middle nub portion disposed between the upper and lower second portion clamps, the second middle nub portion comprising an insertion ramp; and a removable clamp for securing the spherical bearing with a pin in the insertion ramp. Also provided is a mobile conveyor system comprising the connection device.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to conveyor systems, and more particularly to mobile conveying systems in the mining industry which may include a connection device for connecting two or more conveyors or conveyor sections.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Mobile conveyors are used for various purposes, such as in mining. For example, mobile conveyors can be used for excavating, stacking or reclaiming material such as ore, coal, granite, clay, salt, potash or other bulk material. Mobile conveyor sections or numerous mobile conveyor frames are joined together in order to create longer mobile conveyor systems. Prior art systems for joining together multiple mobile conveyors / mobile conveyor sections are inadequate. For example, such prior art systems result in time consuming, difficult and dangerous assembly. For example, in prior art systems, each approximately 40-80 ton mobile conveyor / mobile conveyor section is suspended by a crane, the holes in each heavy mo...
