Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A quick reverse mechanism is provided in a reversible conveyor system. A conveyor rocker beam having a deflection pulley at each of its ends is connected to selectively controlled hoisting devices on the tripper. The conveyor belt is guided underneath the rocker beam near the discharge pulley, in either direction of travel of the conveyor system, that is, belt loops are formed in two different positions of the rocker beam for opposite directions of delivery. The axles of the deflection pulleys of the rocker beam are each guided by two pairs of arcuately slotted guide members, arranged opposite each other on the conveyor structure adjacent the tripper. A pair of additional deflection pulleys are provided, both at a predetermined height on the conveyor structure, or, alternatively, one of the additional deflection pulleys is positioned at a fixed height, with the other deflection pulley being movable vertically, so as to effect reversal of the tripper.

Description

This invention rela-tes -to a variable bel~t loop in a -tripper of a reversible conveyor sys-tem having a rocker beam fi-t-ted wi-th a deFlection pulley a-t each end and connec-ted to al-ternately operable hois-ting systems on -the -tripper, -the conveyor belt being taken around an addi-tional deflection pulley underneath the rocker beam near what is the discharging pulley at the time, belt loops being formed in the two al-terna-te positions of the rocker beam for opposi-te directions of conveying.
S-tacking and reclaiming of bulk materials on and from stock yards may be by so-called combina-tion s-tackers/reclaimers, for instance of -the bucke-t wheel -type which are capable of working in either mode. During operation as stackers, these uni-ts receive -the ma-terial to be worked ou-t by means of a -tripper from -the conveyor sys-tem (stockyard conveyor), -the tripper transferring -the material to be handled onto an inclirled conveyor which elevates -the ma-terial -to ~the boom conveyor of the combination uni-t. I-t is also known -to use the -tripper in the reclaiming mode in which case -the bel-t loop is also required -to perform its func-tion when -the direction of delivery is reversed. This involves removing or reversing -the belt loop and several solu-tions are known of how -to effect -this.
The so]utions used in prac-tice for removing or reversing -the bel-t loop as a rule necessitate major repositioning and modifica--tion opera-tions which, due -to the be:Lt tension :Forces arising are difficul-t -to carry out and a rela-tively long period of -time is required.
In another ]cnown solu-tion, a rocker beam is provided which is fitted a-t bo-th ends wi-th discharge pulleys which are capble of being raised and lowered by means of hoising devices. Near -the ends of -the rocker beam -there are additional deflec-tion pulleys suppor-ted on pairs of links. If the direc-tion of delivery of the conveyor system is reversed, -the rocker beam is brough-t by means of -the hois-ting devices in-to -the desired posi-tion, wi-th the links being moved on the arc of a circle outside and over the pulley which was the discharging one up to now. A-t -the same time, the deflec-tion pulley arranged at the other end of the rocker beam is moved by -the links into the appropria-te position, whereby -the conveyor belt is redirec-ted so as to move away from what was -the discharge pulley up to now (German Pa-tent No. 1,211,531). In this known proposal, the belt tension forces act continuously on -the hois-ting devices. Apart from that, the use of link systems is undesirable.
The present invention has for i-ts objec-t to arrange a tripper so tha-t changing the belt loop can be effected reliably and quickly with only li-t-tle slack occurring and with the supporting sys-tem being loaded only in a relatively short time by -the bel-t tension forces.
This objec-t is achieved according to the inven-tion in -tha-t the axes of the deflec-tion pulleys on the rocker beam are guided in -two pairs of slots provided a-t opposi-te ends in the s-truc-ture of the tripper and in -tha~t -the -two addi-tional deflection pulleys are either arranged both on the structure of -the tripper at a constan-t heigh-t or in that only the deflec-tion pulley used during s-tacking is a-t a con-s-tan-t height whereas the o-ther deflec-tion pulley is arranged variably for height on the structure of -the -tripper. As a resu~L-t of -these features, -the discharge pulley is au-toma-tically guided around -the a~socia-ted deflection pulley (snub pulley), -the leng-th of -the bel-t remaining subs-tan-tially unchanged and -the bel-t -tension forces remaining mos-t of -the -time inside -the suppor-ting sys-tem wi-th -the hois-ting devices being loaded only a very short time. The change-over opera-tion can be carried ou-t in a short period of -time with a high degree of reli-ability.

~ principal objec-t is -to provide a variable belt loop in a tripper of a reversible conveyor sys-tem comprising: a rocker beam having a deflection pulley a-t each of i-ts ends, said rocker beam being connec-ted to a pair of hois-ting devices on -the -tripper; said belt being guided underneath the end of the rocker beam which has been elevated by one of said hoising devices; a pair of arcuately slotted guide members at each end of -the rocker beam are adapted -to guide the axles of the deflection pulleys at each end of said rocker beam; said deflec-tion pulleys being arranged adjacent each end of said rocker beam a-t a prede-termined heigh-t.
A -typical embodimen-t of -the invention is shown schema-tically in ~the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the -tripper in -the s-tacking mode;
Figure 2 is a side eleva-tion of the -tripper in -the reclaim-ing mode;
Figure 3 is a side elevation showing a detailed varian-t of the arrangement -to vary -the height of one of -the def:Lection pulleys together with the tripper; and Figure 4 shows one of -the discharge pulleys, partially sec-tioned.
The -tripper is formed with a s-truc-ture 1 as well as -travel mechanisms 2 running on rails on bo-th sides of -the conveyor line.
Arranged on -the struc-ture 1 are two alternately operable hoisting devices 3, L~ whose lifting elemen-ts 5, 6 (e.g. ropes) are a-t-tached to a rocker beam 7. The rocker beam 7 is provided a-t each end wi-th a deflec-tion pulley 8 and 9 respectively and suppor-ts -the idlers 10 carrying the reversib:Le bel-t 11. Each deflection pulley 8 and 9 has on i-ts axle -two rolling elemen-ts, preferably guide rollers 2~, fit-ted in a manner ]cnown per se a-t i-ts two ends which are guided in -two ~:`

arcua-tely slo-t-ted guides 12, 13 fixed opposi-te each o-ther in the s-tructure 1. The curve guidance o:F -the slot-ted guides is such -tha-t the deflection pulleys 8, 9 can be swung pas-t -the deflec-tion pulley 16, 17 and -that a minimum of slack occurs as -the change-over from one mode to the other is effec-ted.
The belt 11 is fur-thermore -taken around -the deflection pulleys 14, 15 at -the ends of -the conveyor line as well as - depending on the direction of delivery - around the deflection pulleys 16 or 17 respectively. The deflec-tion pulley 16 which is in use for reclaiming is arranged a-t a fixed heigh-t in the s-tructure ] of the -tripper. The deflection pulley 17 which is effective for s-tacking is arranged at a fixed height in structure 1 in the representa-tions of Figures 1 and 2;
to effect the change-over for s-tacking, the idler table 18, which can be raised and lowered, is lifted from -the posltion shown in Figure 1 into -the position shown in Figure 2. In the variant shown in Figure 3, the idler -table 18 (Figure 3) is at a fixed height and -the de:Flec-tion pulley 17 is moun-ted at the front end of a fulcrum lever 19 which is pivoted on the structure 1 and whose rear end is engaged by a pivo-ting drive 20 which is connec-ted between -the lever 19 and a sui-t-able abu-tment of the structure 1.
The hois-ting devices 3, 4 may take the form of, say, winches or hydraulic pis-ton-cylinder uni-ts.
If -the rocker beam 7 is -to be changed from -the posi~tion shown in Figure 1 in-to -the posi-tion shown in Figure 2, -the hois-ting dcvice 4 is opera-ted in the lifting direction, whereas -the hois-ting device 3 is opera-ted in a manner permi-t-ting the hois-ting device -to yield. The deflection pulley 3 is -then -taken au-toma-tically pas-t -the deflection pulley 16 un-til i-t has reached -the lower end of -the associa-ted pair of slo~ts 12. A-t -the same -time, the de:Flection pulley 9 is pulled in the curved slo-ts in -the pair of slo-t-ted pieces 13 in-to i-ts upper position. In -the variant illus-tra-ted by Figures 1 and 2, the idler table 18 is raised un-til its idlers con-tac-t the underside of the belt. In -the variant shown in Figure 3, the deflection pulley 17 is swung downwards until it contac-ts the upper side of the belt.
In the operating position 'stacking" shown in Figure 1, the material to be handled is discharged in a manner known per se from the belt 11 via a chute 21 onto the belt of an inclined conveyor 22 which takes it to the boom conveyor of a combination unit. In the operating position "reclaiming-' illustrated in Figure 2, the bulk material coming from the combination unit is -transferred in a manner known per se onto -the belt 11 whose direction of delivery has been reversed now and conveyed onwards in the direction indica-ted by the arrows in Figure 2, the material passing from the deflection pulley 9 via a chute 23 onto the belt 11 in -the area of the idler table 18 and eventually to its destina-tion.
