By Use Of Endless Belt Conveyor Patents (Class 414/140.8)
  • Patent number: 10994935
    Abstract: Disclosed a large-span bulk material conveying system, including a folding arm conveyor and a dike-striding elevation-type feeding conveying device. The folding arm conveyor is mainly composed of an undercarriage mounted on the ground of a stockyard, a tower body mounted on the undercarriage and provided with a gyration apparatus and a hopper, a balance arm provided with a balance trolley, a conveying arm provided with a portal frame I, a portal frame II and an unloading trolley, a tower top and other main components, wherein the balance arm, the conveying arm and the tower top are mounted on the tower body. The folding arm conveyor can rotate horizontally, and the conveying arm can be folded and retracted by controlling the wire rope by the windlass, so that the folding arm conveyor can be prevented from colliding with other devices or buildings during the rotation.

  • Patent number: 8439180
    Abstract: A conveyor cargo handling system for the synchronized, computerized loading and unloading of cargo containers from a vessel is comprised of at least two conveyor lines. Individually powered conveyor units, idler conveyor units, translate powered conveyor modules (“TPCM”), and rotate powered conveyor modules (“RPCM”), are remotely computer coordinated to operate in concert to safely and efficiently control traffic flow on the container terminal. The system eliminates much of the ground transportation conventionally utilized to move cargo containers to their storage destination.

  • Patent number: 8167115
    Abstract: The invention relates to method of supporting a unloading conveyor bridge extending substantially horizontally at the bottom level of a bulk material pile storage, implemented as supports in the area of the bridge ends as well as in at least one point therebetween. At least one of the supports is positionally adjusted in the vertical direction. The support force is thereby kept substantially constant at the actual support point. For the adjustment can be used spring loading, fluid pressure loading or gravity loading, for example.

  • Patent number: 7044247
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement for a Ro—Ro vessel, which exhibits a number of cargo-receiving spaces provided with a driving surface internally in the vessel, and with a ramp extending between one such space and a quay, along which ramp driverless cargo handling vehicles (7), known as AGV vehicles, are capable of being driven between designated parking places for the purpose of transporting cargo between the quay and the aforementioned cargo-receiving space of the vessel. Means (9) are provided for causing the cargo handling vehicles (7) to be guided between the aforementioned spaces and the quay and into the intended train of vehicles in the designated location in a line (II) and without connecting the cargo handling vehicles (7) to one another.

  • Patent number: 6340278
    Abstract: A stage (3) for holding a boom body (4), which is composed of a plurality of boom components (15, 41, 42), is mounted on a tower mast (2) so as to be turnable by means of a servomotor. A servomotor (56, 61) for turning the next boom component is provided on the distal end of each boom component. Each boom component is provided with a belt conveyor, and granule that is pulled up from the ground to the position of the stage (3) by means of a bucket (5) is transported by means of the conveyor and thrown out from a boom body end (66). As this is done, the respective turns of the stage 3 and each boom component are controlled in accordance with the rotation of the servomotor, and the boom body end (66) is controlled, whereby the granule can be thrown out into any desired position within a operable range.
