Abstract

A conveying system for a harvesting machine (19) includes a sprocket (404) with multiple sprocket teeth and a pair of adjacent belts having belt teeth (704) that engage the sprocket teeth and rotate around the sprocket to transport crop material. Positioned between the adjacent belts is a debris clearing device (804) that effectively prevents crop material from entering between the belts and the sprocket teeth. This mitigates the risk of blockages and damage to the system, ensuring smooth and efficient operation of the conveying system in the harvesting machine.

The incorporation of a combination of a non-conductive carbon black filler and graphene into the rubber mixture allows for the replacement of conductive carbon black, which is conventionally used to procure conductive properties to rubber, but which has the disadvantage that it is comparatively expensive, especially in the quantities needed to confer conductive properties to the rubber mixture.

Abstract

A convoluted bellows air spring having at least one belt ring, wherein the convoluted bellows air spring is tiltable about a pivot axis. The invention was based on the object of creating a convoluted bellows air spring for kinematic applications with tiltings, which even in unfavorable situations can nevertheless be operated in conformity with specifications and reliably during tilting of the connection parts, by reliably preventing buckling. This object is achieved in that the belt ring, or if there are a number of belt rings the belt rings, is or are respectively articulated by means of a lever, wherein the articulating pivot axis of the respective lever differs from the pivot axis of the convoluted bellows air spring.

Abstract

The present invention relates to elastomer toothed belts comprising a fabric spanning the teeth of the toothed belt, wherein the elastomer mixture forming the teeth contains a crosslinked ethylene-propylene rubber (EPM) and/or a crosslinked ethylene-propylene terpolymer rubber (EPDM) accounting for at least 70% by weight of the elastomer mixture based on the polymer proportion and wherein an interlayer is arranged between the fabric and the elastomer mixture forming the teeth which contains at least 70% by weight of hydrogenated acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (HNBR) based on the polymer proportion of the interlayer. Such elastomer toothed belts are halogen-free and feature improved durability and good low-temperature stability properties. The present invention further relates to processes for producing such elastomer toothed belts and to the use of a layer of hydrogenated acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (HNBR) in such toothed belts to increase service life, to improve low-temperature stability and to improve the adhesion between the teeth and the fabric.

Abstract

wherein when the rolling bellows (1) is in the mounted state, its end assigned to the rolling piston (4) is connected to the rolling piston (4) in an airtight manner by a clamping fit between the bead (2) and the seat (5) of the rolling piston (4), and the bead (2) of the rolling bellows (1) rests at least partly on the support shoulder (7), wherein the rolling piston (4) is made of a thermoplastic material. The object of the invention is to improve an air spring of the type outlined above such that the bellows (1) can very reliably and simply be prevented from slipping off the piston (4), in particular in view of the use of plastic as the piston material. This is achieved in that on the seat (5) for the rolling bellows (1), the rolling piston (4) has an axially protruding, substantially cylindrical securing ring (8), which protrudes axially beyond the bead (2) of the rolling bellows (1) after mounting of the rolling bellows (1) on the seat (5), can be plasticized by an at least partial heating process, and in the plasticized state can be deformed radially outwardly over the bead (2) of the rolling bellows (1) by a forming die (9, 10, 11) such that the bead (2) is at least partly surrounded by the deformed securing ring (8).

The conveyor belt also has a first belt end and a second belt end that is opposite the first belt end. The first cleat is attached to the conveyor belt. The first cleat includes a main cleat portion and a first tail cleat portion. The main cleat portion has a main cleat first end and a main cleat second end. The main cleat first end is closer to the first side edge than the main cleat second end. The main cleat portion is oriented at an angle of less than about 90 degrees with respect to the first side edge so that the main cleat first end is closer to the first belt end than the main cleat second end. The first tail cleat portion includes a tail cleat first end and a tail cleat second end. The tail cleat first end is closer to the first belt end than the tail cleat second end. The tail cleat second end is proximate the main cleat second end.

Abstract

The invention relates to a drive belt for a traction mechanism drive, having a radially externally arranged top layer (4) composed of a fiber-containing elastomer or of an elastomer comprising a fiber mesh, having a radially centrally arranged tension member layer (6) composed of a wound tension strand or a plurality of circumferentially oriented tension strands, and a radially internally arranged substructure (8) composed of an elastomer, wherein at least one wedge-shaped rib is integrally formed in the substructure (8), a coating layer (10) composed of a circumferentially open fiber mesh being applied to the outer surfaces of said wedge-shaped rib. In order to prevent an abrupt change in the friction coefficient at the force-transmitting flanks of the ribs, provision is made for the circumferential ends (12, 14) of the coating layer (10) and a parting joint (16), which is filled by the elastomer of the substructure (8), between said circumferential ends (12, 14) of the coating layer (10) to be covered with a transverse strip (18) composed of a vulcanizable material, wherein said vulcanizable material has a reduced friction coefficient in relation to the elastomer of the substructure (8).

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for controlling the swirl of a fluid (2) flowing in a pipeline (1). The invention was based on the object of creating a device with which the adaptation of the swirl (2B) of a fluid (2) flowing in a pipeline (1), even in the case of constantly changing initial swirl (2B), to the desired flow conditions in the pipeline (1) is possible. Said object is achieved in that a swirl measuring device (4) and a swirl control device (6) are provided at predetermined positions of the pipeline (1), and the device has an evaluation and encoder unit (5), wherein, in the presence of differences between the measured actual swirl (2B) and the desired swirl, a corrective value can be determined by means of the evaluation and encoder unit (5), and the swirl control device (6) corresponds with the evaluation and encoder unit (5) and, by means of the swirl control device (6), the present swirl (2B) can be adapted to the predetermined desired swirl in accordance with the determined corrective value.

Abstract

The invention relates to a plastics pipeline comprising at least one pipeline end (1) and at least one support ring (2). It was the underlying object of the invention to improve a plastics pipeline of the type described at the outset in such a way that the support sleeve or the support ring (2) remains firmly connected to the pipeline even in the event of the plastics pipeline being stored in the presence of high air humidity and temperature. This object is achieved by virtue of the fact that the blow molded pipe section (1) runs through the support ring (2) and, as viewed radially, is pressed from the inside outward against the support ring (2), wherein the pipe section (1) engages around the support ring (2), such that the support ring (2), with its outer surface, and the pipe section (1), with its outer surface, are substantially in alignment.
