Patent ID: 10486910

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a conveyor belt system with a circulating conveyor belt, in which a loadable conveyor belt segment rests on upper rolls and an unloaded conveyor belt segment rests on lower rolls, and in which an enclosure extending along the longitudinal axis of the conveyor belt system. The invention also relates to a system for monitoring the rolls in this conveyor belt system. A task of the invention is to propose a conveyor belt system in which the detection of defective rolls is facilitated. The task is solved by way of a conveyor belt system in which the enclosure features diagnostic windows on at least one side of the conveyor belt, such that the diagnostic windows are arranged at the level of the rolls of the conveyor belt and are designed for optical and/or acoustic monitoring of the bearings of the rolls, by being either transparent to diagnostic signals, or easily openable.
