Deflecting station for cover-belt conveyors with currugated side walls for use in loading installations with vertical and horizontal branches

摘要

Due to the working or adjusting movements of such belt conveyors, the belt sections move relative to one another while simultaneously changing the angle they enclose and the wrap angle in the deflection stations. In this case, the belt conveyors and its shroud also move in the deflection stations relative to their support rollers mounted on the support frame, with the risk of collision of support rollers on the one hand and belt conveyor and shroud on the other hand, and thus of deformations and damage. This risk is avoided while maintaining the support effect of the support rollers in an optimal manner by arranging the radially outer support rollers (42, 43) of the roller groups at least a number of support points (79) of the shroud (6) or of the belt conveyor (5) on a shape-changing surface Movement of the belt conveyor or shroud following roller chain-like roller holder (68).
