Device for pivoting a pivotable module out of the path of a conveyor belt

摘要

The invention relates to a device for pivoting a pivotable module out of the path of a conveyor belt. The device is composed of a coupling triangle whose corner points are pivotally arranged in such a manner that one corner point is pivotally disposed at the pivotable module and the other two corner points are pivotally arranged at the piston rods of actuating cylinders. The housings of the actuating cylinders constitute the fixing points for the pivoting movement of the coupling triangle. The pivoting movement of the coupling triangle is effected in that only one cylinder is actuated and the other cylinder remains in its withdrawn or extended state to act as a rod.
