Conveyor Belt Junction Device Differential Plate Extensibility

The patent applies different extensibility properties to the reinforcements of the upper and lower plates specifically. The upper plate reinforcement is made highly extensible (extensibility index ≥ 1.5) to accommodate the extension that occurs during roller passage, while the lower plate reinforcement is made inextensible or quasi-inextensible (extensibility index ≤ 0.5) to maintain stability. This local differentiation of material properties resolves the contradiction by allowing each plate to respond appropriately to the specific stresses it experiences.

The patent changes the key parameter of extensibility for the reinforcements based on their location. By selecting materials with different extensibility indices for the upper and lower plate reinforcements, the system adapts to the varying mechanical conditions during operation. The highly extensible upper reinforcement accommodates dynamic deformation while the inextensible lower reinforcement provides structural stability, thereby extending service life.

The patent assigns different functional qualities to the reinforcements based on their location and role. The upper plate reinforcement is designed with high extensibility to absorb and accommodate the extension that occurs when the conveyor belt passes over rollers. The lower plate reinforcement is designed with inextensible or quasi-inextensible properties to provide stable tensile force transmission. This localized functional differentiation ensures both extension accommodation and effective force transmission.

The junction device uses composite reinforcement structures with different material properties in the upper and lower plates. The highly extensible material in the upper plate (such as elastomeric or flexible synthetic materials) works in conjunction with the inextensible material in the lower plate (such as rigid fabrics or metal mesh) to create a synergistic system that simultaneously accommodates deformation and transmits force effectively.

The patent designs the junction device with universal adaptability to accommodate conveyor belts of different thicknesses while maintaining optimal reinforcement performance. The upper and lower plates are configured with sufficient clearance and flexible connection mechanisms that allow the device to adapt to various belt thicknesses. The differential extensibility properties of the reinforcements ensure reliable performance across different applications, making the junction device universally applicable.

The junction device incorporates dynamic characteristics through the highly extensible upper plate reinforcement that can accommodate varying degrees of deformation depending on the belt thickness and operating conditions. The flexible nature of the extensible reinforcement allows the device to dynamically adapt to different geometric configurations while the inextensible lower reinforcement maintains structural integrity, enabling the device to function reliably across a range of belt thicknesses.
