ABSTRACT:
A traveling continuous conveyor for bulk materials for unloading ships and removing heaps of bulk material. A steep conveyor is provided including a carrying belt (3) and a cover belt (4) which are integrated in the conveyor device. The bulk material is cast by two casting drums (8a and 8b) into the lower gap between the carrying belt (3) and the cover belt (4), in any position of the support frame relative to a surface of the bulk material. Computer-controlled linear drives (6, 15, 17, 20, and 22) are provided, with which the position of the casting drums 8a and 8b) relative to each other and to the layer of bulk material to be removed, e.g., height adjustment to the inclination plane of the bulk material, is facilitated. Among other things, adjustment of the four-bar linkage consisting of connecting rod mechanisms (9, 11a and 11b) and axes (12a and 12b) of the lower deflecting pulleys (13a and 13b ) of the carrying and cover belts (3 and 4), longitudinal displacement of the deflecting pulleys 13b and 13c) of the cover belt (4), which are arranged in a support profile (14), as well as adjustment of the height of the casting drums (8a and 8b) during the swiveling of the steep conveyor are provided. The casting drums and the belts of the steep conveyor can be replaced with a small amount of mounting work as a consequence of the overhung arrangement of the corresponding pulleys and support roller brackets.
