Framed Ceramic Conveyor Belt Structure to Prevent Sheet Detachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Ceramic sheets in existing conveyor belts are prone to fall off due to inadequate bonding, leading to a shorter service life.
Innovation Solution
Embedding ceramic sheets in a frame, which is then fixed in the vulcanized layer of the conveyor belt body, with hooks extending into the core layer to enhance stability and using a vulcanization process for secure attachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If ceramic sheets are connected to the conveyor belt only by bonding, then the installation process is simple, but the ceramic sheets are prone to fall off after a period of use, resulting in shorter service life
Solution Approach 1:
The ceramic sheet is nested within a frame structure that is itself embedded in the conveyor belt. The frame acts as an intermediate container that holds the ceramic sheet securely, while the hook parts of the frame are embedded in the conveyor belt body, creating a nested configuration that improves retention without complicating installation
Solution Approach 2:
The solution transitions from a two-dimensional bonding surface to a three-dimensional embedded structure. The hook parts extend into the core layer of the conveyor belt, adding depth to the connection and creating mechanical interlocking that prevents ceramic sheet detachment during operation
2Duration of action of stationary object
If ceramic sheets are embedded in a frame with hooks extending into the core layer, then the stability and service life are improved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into distinct functional components: the conveyor belt body, the frame structure, and the ceramic sheet. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - the frame provides structural support and retention, while the ceramic sheet provides heat resistance, and the overall assembly can be replaced as a modular unit if needed
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The ceramic sheets remain stable during long-term use, reducing the likelihood of detachment and enabling easy replacement, thereby extending the conveyor belt's service life.
Implementation Method 1
vulcanizing the vulcanized layer by a vulcanization process, and embedding the ceramic film in the vulcanized vulcanized layer together with the frame

AI summary
A ceramic ablation-resistant conveyor belt includes a core layer and a vulcanized layer. A ceramic sheet is embedded inside a frame and embedded on the vulcanized layer of the conveyor belt body together with the frame, and is directly connected to a skeleton. The vulcanized layer is exposed on an upper surface of the ceramic sheet. The ceramic sheet is embedded in the frame, which is embedded in the vulcanized layer, which is directly connected to the skeleton to make it stronger. The frame is fixed through the vulcanized layer, and the ceramic sheets are fixed through the frame, which is more solid compared with ceramic sheets connected only by bonding. The conveyor belt is more stable, and the ceramic sheet is less likely to fall off during long-term use. If it falls or is damaged, it can be easily replaced, thereby improving its service life.
