A conveying device includes first guide rails 2A, 2B; second guide rails 12A, 12B for being connected to the first guide rails 2A, 2B; a movable holding part that holds the second guide rails 12A, 12B such that the second guide rails 12A, 12B are movable in transverse directions with respect to longitudinal directions of the second guide rails 12A, 12B; and moving parts 3A, 3B that move by being guided by the corresponding first guide rails 2A, 2B and the corresponding second guide rails 12A, 12B.

A conveyance device includes: moving members 3A and 3B that move along a table 7 for disposing an article 5 thereon; shafts 21A and 21B that are rotatably connected to the moving members 3A and 3B; a contact member 22 configured to come into contact with the article 5, the contact member 22 being connected to the shafts 21A and 21B; inhibiting mechanisms 23A and 23B that inhibit rotation of the shafts 21A and 21B so that the contact member 22 is held above the article 5, the inhibiting mechanisms 23A and 23B being disposed at the moving members 3A and 3B; and dogs 24A and 24B that come into contact, at a predetermined location with the inhibiting mechanisms 23A and 23B to deactivate inhibition of rotation of the shafts 21A and 21B by the inhibiting mechanisms 23A and 23B, thereby lowering the contact member 22 toward the table 7.

A tray supplier which performs supplying and collecting of trays includes a supply-side tray storage unit, a collection-side tray storage unit, a first tray placer and a second tray placer on which the trays are placed, and a first placer mover and a second placer mover which respectively move the tray placers between the supply-side tray storage unit and the collection-side tray storage unit, in which a first movement shaft of the first placer mover and a second movement shaft of the second placer mover are disposed parallel to each other, lifting and lowering units which lift or lower the first tray placer and the second tray placer are provided, and interference between the placer movers does not occur.

Reciprocating floor slat conveyor systems typically utilize floor slats that reciprocate back and forth while riding on bearings. The bearings sometimes have a curved J shape and, as a consequence, are commonly referred to as J bearings. The design disclosed here is an improved version of a J bearing that has segmented surfaces that are angled, rather than curved, relative to each other. Angled surfaces reduces voids between bearings and floor slats.

A grate bar (for forming a plank of a conveyor grate for transporting bulk material) includes at least an up-facing surface for supporting bulk material, a down-facing surface for supporting the grate bar on at least one grate bar rest, front end and rear-end sides, first and second profiled narrow sides. The first and second profiled narrow sides are complementary to one another and form a moving gap therebetween if and/or when the first profiled narrow side of the chosen grate bar is positioned adjacent to the second profiled narrow side of a neighboring grate bar (that is identical to the chosen grate bar at least with respect to the profile of the second profiled narrow side). The grate bar can be easily replaced if a front edge between the up-facing surface and the front-end side has a front edge curvature, a rear edge between the up-facing surface and the rear-end side has a rear edge curvature and the rear edge curvature is complementary to the front edge curvature.

In a walking floor conveyor, an arrangement of panels lined longitudinally in a side-by-side fashion are organized into at least two correlating groups of panels. At least two panels within each group. Each panel grouping is propelled and retracted in a reciprocating manner, each by a hydraulic cylinder. The panels comprising wheel receptacles underneath the panels and at least one wheel fitted within a wheel receptacle to allow for forward and backward movement along a wheel support beam. These reciprocating panels supported by a series of wheel support beams, interior support beams and side support beams. These side support beams are at their tallest in the back and shortest in the front to provide a slant allowing for a flow of cargo and liquid runoff captured within a plurality of panel drains located between the panels towards a frontally placed auger designed for the assistance of cargo discharge.

The present disclosure relates to end caps for extruded floor slats that are built into moving floor conveyor systems. The end cap has a portion that is inserted in the hollow end of an extrusion and is held in place by self-threading screws that thread directly into the material making up the end cap and the floor slat at the same time.
