  • Patent number: 11745958
    Abstract: The invention relates to a conveyor device with at least one first and second conveyor carriage which are arranged one behind the other in the conveyor direction (F), a cross belt conveyor which is formed on at least the second conveyor carriage for conveying material to be conveyed in a cross conveyor direction (Q) oriented substantially transversely to the conveyor direction (F), and a powertrain brake for the cross belt conveyor. An operating device is arranged on the first conveyor carriage and a brake device is arranged on the second conveyor carriage. The brake device assumes the release state when the first and second conveyor carriage are traveling in a substantially straight manner, and the brake device assumes the brake state when at least one of the conveyor carriages is cornering in order to allow a movement of a cross belt of the cross belt conveyor in a cross conveyor direction (Q) when traveling in a straight manner and brake the movement when cornering.

  • Patent number: 11214444
    Abstract: A drive device (1) for a conveying cart of a conveying device contains a drive source (34) and a drive-force transmission (6) for transmitting a drive force of the drive source (34) to a drive element (2). The conveying cart can be fastened to the drive element (2) and the drive force can be transmitted to the drive element (2) from the drive-force transmission (6) by a force-locking or frictional-locking connection. A drive element (2) for the drive device (1) has a first long side (36) with ribs (38) and joints (40) transverse to the longitudinal direction of the drive element (2) for permitting negotiation of curves, and a second long side (42) opposite the first long side (36) is flat. A conveying-cart drive (4) for a conveying cart of a conveying device contains the drive device (1) and the drive element (2).
