Abstract:
1. A conveyor belt comprising: a plurality of first roller sets arranged in first lanes extending in a longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt, wherein each of the first roller sets includes a first roller and a second roller, the first and second rollers contacting each other such that driving of the first roller in a first angular direction causes rotation of the second roller in an opposite second angular direction, wherein the first and second rollers have axes of rotation arranged at a first angle relative to the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt; a plurality of second roller sets arranged in second lanes parallel to the first lanes, wherein each of the second roller sets includes a third roller and a fourth roller, the third and fourth rollers contacting each other such that driving of the third roller in a third angular direction causes rotation of the fourth roller in an opposite fourth angular direction, wherein the third and fourth rollers have axes of rotation arranged at a second angle relative to the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt different from the first angle; wherein some of the second rollers are segmented rollers divided into peripheral segments connected by axle portions across gaps between adjacent segments, the conveyor belt further comprising supports upstanding from a top surface of the conveyor belt rotatably connected to the axle portions of the segmented rollers.
