Abstract

A conveyor belt scraper, in particular a segment body for a conveyor belt scraper. The segment body for a conveyor belt scraper includes a plate-shaped mounting element, which can be connected to a flat bearing profile of a segment carrier, a carrier section, wherein the carrier section is formed on a first end area of the mounting element by means of a supporting area and an underside of the carrier section forms a hollow body together with an opposite section of the mounting element so that the carrier section is resiliently supported on the mounting element by means of the supporting area in order to form a first damping mechanism; and wherein the carrier section has at least one insertion pocket on the underside of the carrier section, which insertion pocket is suitable for accommodating a spring element in order to form a second damping mechanism.

Claims (19)

1. A segment body for a conveyor belt scraper, comprising:

a plate-shaped mounting element, which can be connected to a flat bearing profile of a segment carrier; and

a carrier section, wherein the carrier section is formed on a first end area of the mounting element by means of a supporting area and an underside of the carrier section forms a hollow body together with an opposite section of the mounting element so that the carrier section is resiliently supported on the mounting element by means of the supporting area in order to form a first damping mechanism,

wherein the carrier section has at least one insertion pocket on the underside of the carrier section, which insertion pocket is suitable for accommodating a spring element in order to form a second damping mechanism, and

wherein at the first end area of the mounting element a U-shaped connecting element is formed which is suitable for form-fittingly connecting the mounting element to an edge of the flat bearing profile of the segment carrier.

2. The segment body according to claim 1 , wherein a second end area of the mounting element, which is opposite to the first end area, has system bores in order to force-fittingly connect the mounting element to the flat bearing profile of a segment carrier.

3. The segment body according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting area has a recess.

4. The segment body according to claim 3 , wherein the recess is disposed between the hollow body and an outer surface of the carrier section resting on the side of the first end area of the mounting element.

5. The segment body according to claim 3 , wherein the recess is substantially parallel to a summit line of the hollow body having a U-shaped or parabola-shaped cross-section.

6. The segment body according to claim 1 , wherein the segment body is an integral component.

7. The segment body according to claim 1 , further comprising a steel spring replaceably inserted in the insertion pocket that bears on an opposite section of the mounting element, and wherein the mounting element has a notch at the opposite section which is dimensioned so as to accommodate the steel spring in a slip-proof manner.

8. The segment body according to claim 1 , wherein the segment body is made of a flexible synthetic material.

9. The segment body according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier section is formed as a tapering scraper including a concavely curved and a convexly curved outer surface opposite thereto, the concavely curved outer surface being disposed above the first end area and the convexly curved outer surface being disposed above the second end area of the mounting element.

10. The segment body according to claim 9 , wherein the carrier section is formed in two parts, including a first lower carrier section connected to the mounting element and a replaceably fixed scraper element.

11. The segment body according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier section comprises a holding area for applying force of at least one wear element.

12. The segment body according to claim 11 , further comprising a scraper rod fixed in the holding area, a spatula being formed in an area of one longitudinal end of the scraper rod.

13. The segment body according to claim 1 , further comprising a steel plate embedded in the mounting section.

14. The segment body according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow body has a U-shaped or parabola-shaped cross-section.

15. A conveyor belt scraper comprising a steel beam and a group of segment bodies according to claim 1 , wherein the segment bodies each have at least one spring element in the insertion pocket and are juxtaposed on the steel beam along a longitudinal axis thereof, with centrally disposed segment bodies having spring elements of higher spring strength than segment bodies which are disposed outside of the centrally disposed segment bodies.
