20140116858 | CONVEYOR BELT ARRANGEMENT INCLUDING A CONVEYOR BELT HAVING A HYBRID CONDUCTOR LOOP - A conveyor belt has a carrying side cover plate and a running side cover plate each of a polymer material having elastic properties. The conveyor belt defines a conveyor belt longitudinal direction (X) and has an embedded reinforcement and at least one of the cover plates is provided with a hybrid conductor loop. The hybrid conductor loop communicates in a contactless manner with an interrogation station in the form of a transmitter/receiver pair. The hybrid conductor loop has a flattened conductor cross section and runs in the conveyor belt obliquely at an angle (α) relative to the conveyor belt transverse direction (Y) to form a diagonal direction (Z). The transverse direction (Y) is at right angles to the longitudinal direction (X). The arrangement of the transmitter/receiver pair is adapted to the diagonal direction (Z) to so increase the mutual spacing of the transmitter and the receiver. | 05-01-2014 |
20140103744 | CONVEYING ARRANGEMENT HAVING A DEVICE FOR GENERATING ELECTRIC CURRENT - A conveying arrangement includes a conveyor belt having a carrying-side cover plate and a running-side cover plate. The conveying arrangement further includes a drive drum, a reversing drum, carrying rollers and a carrying structure. The conveying arrangement forms a material-conveying upper strand (A) with a charging location for the conveyed goods and a lower strand (B). A device for generating current is provided at the charging location for the conveyed goods underneath the conveyor belt of the upper strand (A). The device includes an impact bearing having sliding properties for the running-side cover plate of the conveyor belt of the upper strand (A). A generator is operatively connected to the impact bearing and a supporting device is provided for the generator. The generator converts at least part of the impact energy of the conveyed goods into electric current. | 04-17-2014 |
20130136816 | APPARATUS FOR NON-DESTRUCTIVELY INSPECTING A CONVEYOR BELT DURING MANUFACTURE THEREOF UTILIZING HIGH-ENERGY RAYS - An apparatus non-destructively inspects a conveyor belt in a production facility. The conveyor belt defines a belt surface and has cover plates made of a rubber mixture. The production facility includes a vulcanizing press for vulcanizing the conveyor belt during production thereof. The apparatus includes a housing forward or rearward of the press. The housing has openings through which the conveyor belt passes. A radiation source mounted in the housing transmits rays toward the belt surface and the radiation source is configured to transmit the rays with energy sufficient to cause the rays to pass through the conveyor belt. A sensor mounted in the housing detects the rays passed through the conveyor belt to facilitate a radiographic check by providing actual values of the conveyor belt. A processor evaluates the radiographic check by comparing the actual values of the conveyor belt to set values of the conveyor belt. | 05-30-2013 |
20130129042 | APPARATUS FOR MONITORING THE CONNECTION OF A CONVEYOR BELT BY MEANS OF HIGH-ENERGY RAYS - The invention is directed to an apparatus for continuous and non-destructive monitoring of the connection of a conveyor belt. During movement of the conveyor belt, a radiation source emits rays in the direction of the belt surface. The rays are of such high energy that they penetrate the conveyor belt and the connection thereof within a material-free region. A sensor detects the rays which have passed through. A process computer evaluates the result of the radiographic examination by comparing the actual connection values to set connection values and connection limit values. The radiation source and the sensor are accommodated in a housing. The housing has two openings between the radiation source and the sensor through which the moving conveyor belt passes without contact. The housing is integrated into the lower run of a conveyor system. | 05-23-2013 |
20130077743 | SYSTEM FOR THE NON-DESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION OF A CONVEYOR BELT VIA HIGH-ENERGY RADIATION - A system for the non-destructive inspection of a conveyor belt which includes a cover on the carrying side, a cover on the backing side, each cover being made of elastomeric material, and embedded tension members. While the conveyor belt is moving, a radiation source emits rays to the belt surface which are of such high energy that the rays pass through the belt within a region free of material disposed on the belt. A sensor detects the rays passing through the belt. A processor is operatively connected to the sensor and evaluates the result of the radiographic check. The radiation source and the sensor are accommodated in a housing, wherein, between the radiation source and the sensor, there are two housing openings through which the moving belt runs without contact. | 03-28-2013 |
20120012444 | CONDUCTOR LOOP, IN PARTICULAR FOR A CONVEYOR BELT - A conductor loop and a conveyor belt including the conductor loop. The conductor loop is embedded in an article having a base of a polymer material with elastic properties. The conductor loop includes at least one hybrid yarn having at least a textile first material and a conductive second material closed in an endless manner. | 01-19-2012 |
