Frame for e.g. chain conveyor used for guiding goods from place to another place, has deflecting and/or roller body provided at ends of carrier and/or supporting device that is formed from composite material

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

The patent describes a frame structure for chain conveyors, designed to guide goods from one place to another. This frame uses a combination of deflection or roller bodies at its ends, and it is constructed from composite materials such as fiber composites or wood veneer materials. The composite layers may have varying thicknesses and intersect at specific angles, enhancing the frame's performance. The frame also integrates a drive mechanism to operate the roller or deflection components.

• Material handling systems in warehouses and factories
• Automated conveyor systems for goods transport
• Distribution centers for sorting and moving packages
• Food and beverage industry conveyors
• Airport baggage handling systems

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Improved durability and strength due to composite material construction
• Reduced weight compared to traditional metal frames
• Customizable material properties by varying thickness and orientation
• Lower maintenance due to resistant materials
• Potential for reduced costs and increased energy efficiency with lighter frames

Patent Abstract

The frame (1) has a deflecting and/or roller body provided at ends of a carrier and/or supporting device (2) for deflecting a conveying unit and/or for rolling conveying goods. The carrier and/or supporting device is formed from a composite material e.g. fiber composite material and wood veneer bearing material, where two adjacent positions of the composite material have same or different thickness and cross each other at and angle of 20 to 45 degrees. A drive device (19) e.g. motor, drives the deflecting and/or roller body on a hollow cross section of the carrier and/or supporting device.
