MULTI-DRIVE VERTICAL-INCLINED CONVEYOR Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B65G17/04 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: multi-drive vertical inclined conveyor includes two traction strips 1, which envelope drive 2, tension 3 and bypass 5 drums interconnected by rigid cross-bars of triangular cross-section 7, on which a sagging conveyor band with corrugated beads is rigidly pressed in gaps. Conveyor profile is variable and divided into sections successively located one after another, lifting – vertical 12 or steeply inclined 13 and inclined 14, located by ledges or symmetrically by main ones. On each inclined section there is at least one drive 2, clamping 4 and supporting 6 drum. At entry of inclined branch to drive drum 2 from below presser 4 drum is located under it, and supporting 6 – from above, and at entry from above – pressure 4 drum is located from above, and supporting 6 – from below conveyor belt 1.

EFFECT: increased fault tolerance and reliability of conveyor due to more uniform distribution of mechanical load along its entire length, which reduces their wear and capital expenditures for operation and repair of conveyor.
