MOVABLE SLATBAND CONVEYOR WITH CHANGEABLE LIFTING HEIGHT Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B65G17/06 B60P1/36 

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention related to mechanization of works for transporting and stowing of loads in storehouses. Proposed conveyor has track on wheels, on front part of track frame conveyor proper is hinge-mounted for turning in vertical plane relative to frame, electrical equipment with switchgear cabinet and electric cable, and receiving platform. Conveyor consists of metal structure in form of boom on guides of which loading roller chains are stretched, being interconnected by slats. Conveyor boom lifting drive is arranged on rear end of track frame. Said drive is furnished with gas pusher, hinge-secured by one end on branch of levers engaging through turnable rollers with conveyor guides, and by other end, to frame of track. Gas-pusher consists of cylinder filled with gas and furnished with attachment yoke, guiding and sealing and charging units, and rod. Charging unit has shutoff needle, threaded hole and pressure gauge. Nitrogen can be used as gas charge in gas pusher.

EFFECT: reduced metal and power consumption of conveyor drive, increased service life, provision of safety owing to prevention of sharp lowering of conveyor boom in case of failure of its drive.
