  • Patent number: 10131504
    Abstract: A belt cleaner is provided which does not damage the belt surface during the scraping operation where tips on an arcuate scraper held in a holder are inclined and pushed against the belt surface with rotary shafts of the holder rotated by a resilient force. A scraper (20) is provided with a flat slope (29) extending in parallel with the belt surface from top edges of the tips (21) in the belt running direction (F), said flat slope (29) is made to contact with the belt surface in a manner of surface-contact connection when the tips are shifted up the posture from a vertical posture to an inclined posture, and a width (W) of said flat slope (29) in the belt running direction with respect to the thickness (t) of said tip (21) is formed under the condition of t<W.

  • Patent number: 8602205
    Abstract: A belt cleaner includes one or more cleaner unit (6) which has a support plate (8) providing a scraping portion (7), an upper resilient block (9), and a lower resilient block (10), wherein said support plate (8) is supported by said upper resilient block (9) to be held in a forward leaning posture to make the scraping portion oppose to the belt running direction (X) so that the support plate (8) may be shifted to an upright posture by deformation of the upper resilient block (9), and wherein said lower resilient block (10) may deform resiliently to move said upper resilient block (9) including the scraping portion (7) upon application of pushing forces, such as bumping shocks or the like thereto so that shocks may be absorbed.

  • Patent number: 8042679
    Abstract: A belt cleaner is provided in which a scraping portion of a scraper becomes in contact with the belt surface over the full width thereof even when the trough-shape of the belt surface is different from the shape as expected, thereby the leavings on the belt surface will be scraped off in an optimum manner. The scraper is formed by a resiliently deformable blade which is curved and held in a holding groove of a holder so that the scraper (5) keeps an arcuate shape having a distance (L) between the central portion and the both side portions thereof with respect to the lengthwise direction of the belt. Shape shifting means (20) is provided in the holding groove (13) for transforming the scraper (5) into a desired curved configuration selected from among plural curved configurations changing the distance (L) thereby the scraper (5) is held in the selected curved configuration.

  • Patent number: 7225916
    Abstract: A belt cleaner device is provided in which assembling of a frame and a cleaner head may be performed easily and quickly. A belt cleaner device comprises a frame 3 and one or more cleaner heads 1. The frame 3 includes a support face (3a) on its upper surface, and a support hole (33) through the frame. The cleaner head (1) includes a contact face (14) on its undersurface, and an anchor (16) projecting downward from the contact face (14). The cleaner head (1) is supported so as not to be rotated about the running direction of the belt by contacting the contact face (14) and the support face (3a) with each other. The cleaner head (1) is fixed to the frame (3) by fixedly inserting the anchor (16) in the support hole (33). The cleaner head (1) further provides a concave (21) in at least one of the front and rear walls (13) (15) to form a strike seat (22) at the bottom of the concave (21).

  • Patent number: 6227350
    Abstract: A belt cleaner is provided in which scraping portions of scrapers are constantly pressed against a surface of a conveyor belt with uniform force throughout all cleaner units. The belt cleaner includes an array of the plurality of the cleaner units arranged in the transverse direction of the conveyor belt, and a pressure generator for combined with the cleaner units. The pressure generator includes respective support sections which are engaged with corresponding working portions of the scrapers of the cleaner units to integrally move with the forward and backward motion of the scrapers with respect to the belt surface, a pressure passage for causing the support sections to communicate with each other, and a fluid completely filled in the pressure passage.
