TURRET FOR A MATERIAL TRANSPORT VEHICLE AND TELESCOPIC CONVEYOR MOUNTED ON SUCH A TURRET.

摘要

A turret deck comprises a platform (7) which is longitudinally and translationally movable relative to the chassis (1) of the vehicle and supports a base plate (11) with a supporting yoke (12) on which the telescopic conveyor (14) is pivotally mounted about a horizontal shaft (13). The conveyor (14) is tilted by means of two hydraulic cylinders, of which one (15) is located between the base plate (11) and a second supporting yoke (16) for placing said conveyor in the transport position, while the other (17) tilts it to allow unloading. The hydraulic cylinder (18) of the conveyor (14) retracts automatically during operation of hydraulic cylinder (15) in order to prevent the conveyor from interfering with obstacles or power lines while it is being placed in the transport position. The telescopic conveyor (14) comprises devices for storing the lower belt of its belt conveyor during the retraction of the various sections of said conveyor.
