DEVICE FOR CENTERING CONVEYOR BELT Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B65G39/00 

FIELD: construction, mechanism for transportation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to conveyor-construction, namely to the devices for centering the conveyor belt. The device contains a grooved roller bearing with the capability of supporting on it the conveyor belt, which consists of rollers, placed on the cantilever, established with the capability of its turning in the horizontal plane relative to the hinged joint, fixed by means of a cross-section beam on the girders of the conveyor, rollers with the capability of rolling according to the guides fixed on the girders. The hinged joint is supplied with an additional horizontal hinge with the capability of turning of the roller bearing in a vertical plane. Rollers are executed with the semicircular profile of their rims and are established on the additional arms, fixed on the free ends of the arm of the roller bearing from its lower side. Both guides are executed in the form of flat plates, which with the aid of the hinges, placed on plates from the tail section of the conveyor, are established on the girders with the lift to the side of motion of the conveyor belt and are supplied with adaptations for the changing angle of the slope of plates relative to the girders and supports with the capability of their interaction with the rollers at the turning of the roller bearings in a horizontal plane on a critical angle.

EFFECT: increase in the centering action on the conveyor belt.
