Wear resistant lining element and method for disengaging material
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a wear-resistant lining element which is intended for a surface on a truck haul body subjected to wear. The wear-resistant lining element has an outwardly directed surface, over which material in the form of pieces or particles, such as crushed ore and crushed rock material, is intended to move, and has an inwardly directed surface intended to face the truck haul body surface. The wear-resistant lining element comprises elastomeric material. The wear-resistant lining element is characterized in that the wear-resistant lining element comprises at least one open cavity in the inwardly directed surface. The invention also relates to a wear-resistant lining, a truck haul body and a method for disengaging material adherent on a truck haul body surface having a wear-resistant lining.
1. A wear-resistant lining element which is intended for a surface on a truck haul body subjected to wear, said wear-resistant lining element having an outwardly directed surface, over which material in the form of pieces or particles, such as crushed ore and crushed rock material, is intended to move, and having an inwardly directed surface intended to face said truck haul body surface, said wear-resistant lining element comprising elastomeric material and at least one open cavity in said inwardly directed surface, characterized in that said wear-resistant lining element is open towards longitudinal sides of the wear-resistant lining element, and that said at least one cavity extends substantially an entire thickness and an entire length of the wear-resistant lining element.
2. A wear-resistant lining element according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one cavity is open towards the surface on the truck haul body.
3. A wear-resistant lining element according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one cavity extends along substantially an entire width of the wear-resistant lining element.
4. A wear-resistant lining element ( 3 ) according claim 1 , wherein said wear-resistant lining element ( 3 ) is made from a water repellent rubber.
5. A wear-resistant lining element according to claim 1 , wherein said wear-resistant lining element comprises at least two portions being angled in relation to each other.
6. A wear-resistant lining element according to claim 1 , wherein said wear-resistant lining element comprises a polymeric material with anti-icing properties.
7. A wear-resistant lining element according to claim 1 , wherein said wear-resistant lining element comprises a polymeric carbon material lacking polar groups but is polymerized and vulcanized with the aid of a vulcanizing agent comprising peroxides, sulphur, sulphur derivate or metal oxides ice-preventive rubber, such that the polymeric carbon material is arranged to prevent ice from forming on the wear-resistant lining element.
8. A wear-resistant lining comprising a plurality of wear-resistant lining elements as claimed in claim 1 .
9. A truck haul body of metal material lined with at least one wear-resistant lining as claimed in claim 8 .
10. A truck haul body according to claim 9 , wherein said at least one wear-resistant lining element is attached to a front edge of said truck haul body.
