  • Patent number: 11892069
    Abstract: A cam wheel for accommodating a cam belt has a hub plate for mounting on a shaft and a plurality of cylindrical bolts including belt support areas for accommodating the cam belt. The cylindrical bolts are attached to the hub plate such that gaps are formed between the cylindrical bolts for accommodating cams of the cam belt in a positive locking manner. At a first end of the respective cylindrical bolts a shaft is formed which is inserted into an opening in the hub plate. The shaft is reshaped at its end to form a closing head in such a manner that the hub plate is clamped in between the closing head and a shoulder is formed between the shaft and the belt area support.

  • Publication number: 20220282778
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cam wheel for accommodating a cam belt, having a hub plate for mounting on a shaft and a plurality of tappet means including belt support areas for accommodating the cam belt, the tappet means being attached, projecting perpendicularly away from the hub plate and spaced apart from one another, to the hub plate such that gaps are formed between the tappet means for accommodating cams of the cam belt in a positive locking manner.

  • Patent number: 9856086
    Abstract: A rod belt for rod belt conveyors of agricultural machinery, having rods situated transversely with respect to the running direction and in parallel to one another, the rods having flattened, perforated fastening areas with which they rest on tensile stress-resistant, continuous elastic belts revolving in parallel to one another, and are connected to the belts by rivets or similar fasteners which pass through the fastening areas and the belts. Thus, a rod belt is provided for rod belt conveying, which allows fastening of functional elements while avoiding the disadvantages stated for the prior art. This is achieved in that in the installed state of the rods, the fastening areas protrude beyond the inner edges of the belts with an overhang area, and have at least one hole in the overhang area for fastening a functional element of the rod belt.

  • Patent number: 9814182
    Abstract: An inclined conveyor for a combine harvester has two drive elements which define a conveying direction and revolve in a conveying duct. Conveying duct is divided into an overshot return duct and an undershot conveying duct by a separating element situated between the upper run and the lower run of the drive element. Drive element is interconnected by carriers situated transversely with respect to conveying direction that convey harvested crop in undershot conveying duct. The difference in speed between the carrier bars and harvested crop stream is eliminated, and at least reduced, by additional acceleration of harvested crop stream. Carrier bars serve as carriers, and as acceleration elements for the harvested crop. That is because the cross section of each of the carrier bars viewed in conveying direction, occupies at least 30% of the smallest internal cross section of undershot conveying duct.

  • Publication number: 20150141098
    Abstract: An inclined conveyor for a combine harvester has at least two endless traction elements (drive elements) which extend in parallel to one another and which are interconnected by carrier bars. The carrier bars are situated transversely with respect to the conveying direction. The inclined conveyor is configured so that the load on the drive element is reduced due to the low weight of the carrier bars and a lower conveying speed. The carrier bars on the conveyor have at least two rods situated one on top of the other, have a circular cross section, and are fastened to the drive element as individual rods.
