ABSTRACT:
The reciprocating floor conveyor (10) has a frame (14) guide beam assemblies (46) and floor slats (50) slidably mounted on the guide beam assemblies. An A group of floor slats (50) are connected to a transverse drive beam (100) and reciprocated back and forth by a hydraulic cylinder (116). A B group of floor slats (50) are connected to a transverse drive beam (102) and reciprocated back and forth by a hydraulic cylinder (124). A C group of floor slats (50) are connected to a transverse drive beam (104) and reciprocated back and forth by a hydraulic cylinder (130). Solenoid operated control valves (152, 154 and 156) direct hydraulic fluid to the respective cylinders (116, 124 and 130). A logic control unit (210) determines the positions of the A, B and C groups of floor slats as indicated by sensors (174, 176, 178, 180, 182 and 188) and energizes the solenoid operated control valves (152, 154 and 156) to reciprocate the A, B and C groups of floor slats and convey material supported by the floor slats. The logic control unit (210) is reversible to convey material toward a front end or a rear end of the floor slats.
