Abstract:
A vibratory conveyor with a base frame, a vibrating frame mounted on the base frame and is vibrated relative to the base frame by a vibratory drive, and a conveyor trough made of a continuous flexible mat. The flexible mat is alternately connected to the base frame and the vibrating frame at connection points which are mutually spaced when seen in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor trough. A respective mat portion lies between each pair of connection points adjoining each other in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor trough. The vibrating frame can be vibrated relative to the base frame by means of the vibratory drive, and mat portions adjoining one another in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor trough are thus alternately stretched and slackened in a push-pull mode.

Claim (Index 13):
A vibratory conveyor comprising:\n a base frame, a vibrating frame mounted on the base frame and capable of being set into vibratory movement relative to the base frame by a vibratory drive, and a conveyor trough formed by a flexible continuous mat,\n the flexible mat forming the conveyor trough being alternately connected to the base frame and to the vibrating frame at connection points that are at a distance from one another, seen in a longitudinal direction of the conveyor trough, a respective mat segment being situated between each two connection points adjacent to one another in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor trough, \n the vibrating frame being configured to be set into a vibration relative to the base frame by the vibratory drive such that mat segments adjacent to one another in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor trough are alternately tensioned and relaxed in a push-pull mode, \n the connection points being situated on first and second traverses running transverse to the longitudinal direction of the conveyor trough at a distance from one another, and each first traverse being connected to the base frame and each second traverse being connected to the vibrating frame respectively, in alternating fashion, \n wherein, at least one of the traverses running in a transverse direction of the conveyor trough has a centric height profile, pronounced in a height direction, that forms a distribution contour in the mat and in the conveyor trough that divides a stream of conveyed material on the mat into two laterally spaced partial streams.
