POCKET-BELT TRANSPORTER Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B65G17/04 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: transporter comprises belt (1) with overlap that creates pockets (4) for transportation of fruit selected based in condition of size equality in length, width and maximum size of fruit. Pockets are rigidly fixed to cross bars (3), ends of which are hingedly fixed in roller or bush chain (2). Side planes of pockets are covered with elastic mesh (6). Drive of transported is made of hydraulic motors installed coaxially on upper shaft of transporter on both sides of master sprockets, diametre of grooves in which is defined based on ratio Dgr=2n Lk./π, where n - integer number, Lk.is pocket length, π - 3.14. Pockets are made of fully or partially woven material. In case of partial version, side part of pockets is made by radius equal to radius of driving sprocket grooves, and upper cut of radius part is rigidly connected to chains by flexible threads. Inside woven side and internal part of pocket along its axis of symmetry, rigid rod (7) is installed, which is connected to chain with its upper end hingedly along side surface, and its lower shape is similar to shape of pocket side surface, besides edges of chains are equipped with petal dampers made of elastic materials.

EFFECT: improved integrity of fruit in process of their transportation.
