A towable conveyor for transporting and elevating articles and a method and system for towing a conveyor and conveying articles up inclines is provided. The conveyor system has an elevating carriage and a plurality of support elements for conveying articles up the conveyor. Specifically, the towable conveyor system comprises a conveyor having a support frame, a plurality of support elements, a drive end with a motor, and an idle end; an elevating carriage having a first end interconnected to the support frame of the conveyor, a second with two or more wheels, and a support member extending upwardly from the elevating carriage; a cable system for raising the conveyor into a position of use and for lowering the conveyor into a towing position; one or more locking mechanisms; and a hitch for connecting the conveyor to a rear end of a towing vehicle.

A transport conveyor includes an upstream conveyor section, a downstream conveyor section, and a relay conveyor section having an orientation changeable between a connecting orientation, in which the relay conveyor section in a gap region to connect the upstream conveyor section to the downstream conveyor section, and an open orientation, in which the relay conveyor section is in a non-overlapping region that does not overlap a movement path to open the gap region. A support axis is above a drive axis, and a link mechanism is configured such that when the relay conveyor section is in the connecting orientation, a first pivot axis is below a reference virtual plane connecting the drive axis to a second pivot axis.

The present invention relates to the technical field of soilless culture, and in particular to a device suitable for automatically harvesting soilless culture sprouts. The device includes a bottom supporting frame, a conveying mechanism and a cutting mechanism, where the conveying mechanism is arranged on the bottom supporting frame, the cutting mechanism is arranged on the conveying mechanism, the conveying mechanism moves horizontally, an included angle α is formed between the conveying mechanism and a horizontal plane, and the included angle α is larger than or equal to 30° and less than or equal to 90°. According to the present invention, a lifting mechanism lifts a longer side edge of one end of the conveying mechanism up, such that an included angle is formed between the conveying mechanism and the bottom supporting frame, and the sprouts cut by the cutting mechanism incline to fall down into a sprout collecting box. Thus, the sprouts are effectively prevented from directly falling onto a culture plate, thereby reducing later treatment procedures and increasing production efficiency.

A fabric treating apparatus including: a cabinet defining a treating chamber in which clothes is accommodated; a first conveyer and a second conveyer for conveying the clothes in one direction; a first fixing member to which the first conveyer is fixed, and which is rotatably installed in the cabinet; and a second fixing member to which the second conveyer is fixed, and which is rotatably installed in the cabinet.

The present invention relates to a stacker for stockpiling bulk material, the stacker comprising: a chassis provided with either wheels or tracks; a conveyor; and a powered, telescoping cylinder leg for moving the conveyor with respect to the chassis, wherein the conveyor is at least 70 ft (21.3 m) long and wherein the telescoping cylinder leg is mounted at one end to the conveyor and at the other end is removably mountable to the chassis from a first, container transport position to a second, road transport position.

Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a vehicle-mounted conveyor system, and more specifically a maneuverable and mobile system interconnected to a motor vehicle, such as a truck, for conveying products and material. In some embodiments, the conveyor system comprises: a first conveyor; a second conveyor; a conveyor mount, wherein the first conveyor is interconnected to the conveyor mount; a first plate; a second plate; a post interconnected to the first plate; an arm member interconnected on one end to the post and interconnected on a second end to the second plate; a first hydraulic cylinder interconnected to the post and the arm member; a rotator gear interconnected to the second plate and the conveyor mount; a second hydraulic cylinder interconnected to the conveyor mount and the rotator gear; and a vehicle stabilizer, wherein the conveyor system has a first travel position and a second deployed position.

A material processing device includes a conveyor belt for transporting material from or to a material processing unit. The conveyor belt is swivel connected to a machine body by an articulated link, wherein the conveyor belt can be moved from a folded-down working position into a folded-up transport position by an actuating unit and the articulated link. The articulated link is part of an actuating mechanism which guides a proximal free end of the of the conveyor belt during the swiveling motion from the folded-down working position to the folded-up transport position in such a way that the proximal end of the conveyor belt is swiveled and raised against the direction of gravity.

Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for creating an at least partially desegregated stockpile. In some embodiments the stockpile comprises one or more windrows. In some embodiments an operating speed (e.g., belt speed) of the conveyor is varied to create windrows at various distances from the conveyor.

A conveying and sorting apparatus has a plurality of tilting conveyor units in a row in a conveying direction, and reflective photoelectric sensors. The tilting conveyor units are supported above a frame so as to be able to swing to the left and right about a support shaft which is parallel with the conveying direction, between a horizontal conveying orientation and a tilted orientation for ejecting the object being conveyed, by means of gravity, in the lateral direction with respect to the conveying direction. The reflecting photoelectric sensors detect objects being conveyed which pass between the tilting conveyor units by means of light beams which pass, in the vertical direction, between tilting conveyor units which adjoin one another in the conveying direction. The reflecting photoelectric sensors are attached to a support member which surrounds the periphery of the support shaft and which is supported by the frame.

The invention relates to a conveyor belt arrangement of a material processing device having a conveyor belt (20) and a receiving and adjustment mechanism for adjusting the conveyor belt between a transport position and a working position. To this end, the conveyor belt is mounted on bearing elements (40, 60), which are rotatably connected to receiving elements (30, 50) of the receiving and adjusting mechanism. According to the invention, the receiving elements are each coupled to a pivot bearing each having a pivot axis (30.1, 50.1) for the pivotable attachment to the material processing device, and at least one bearing element is connected to the conveyor belt in a linearly adjustable manner, and/or between the conveyor belt and the pivot bearing of at least one receiving element, a compensating mechanism is provided, by means of which a spacing change between the bearing elements can be compensated for. The conveyor belt arrangement allows the simple adjustment of the conveyor belt of a material processing device between a working position and a transport position.
