Conductor loop
The invention relates to a conductor loop, embedded in a polymer, in particular an elastomeric material, in the form of a flex construction, comprising a single flex, or multiple flexes, whereby each flex, for its part, comprises at least two individual wires, in particular, as a component of a transport belt, with a support side, a running side and an embedded tensile support, whereby the transport belt is provided with at least one conductor loop. The conductor loop is characterized in being embodied as an open flex helix, whereby each individual wire is enclosed by polymeric material.
1. Conductor loop ( 5 , 9 , 11 , 14 ) that is embedded in a polymer material, particularly an elastomer material, and is present as a flex construction, comprising a single flex, or multiple flexes, whereby each flex, in turn, is formed from 2 to 15 individual wires ( 8 ), particularly as a component of a conveyor belt ( 1 ), which comprises a support side ( 2 ), a running side ( 3 ), and an embedded strength support ( 4 ), whereby the conveyor belt is provided with at least one conductor loop, wherein the conductor loop ( 5 , 9 , 11 , 14 ) is configured as an open flex helix ( 7 ), whereby each individual wire ( 8 ) is enclosed by polymer material; and wherein the individual wire diameter of the flex helix ( 7 ) is 0.01 to 0.2 mm.
2. Conductor loop according to claim 1 , wherein the flex helix ( 7 ) is formed from 1 to 3 flexes.
3. Conductor loop according to claim 1 , wherein each flex is formed from 5 to 9 individual wires ( 8 ).
4. Conductor loop according to claim 1 , wherein the individual wire diameter of the flex helix ( 7 ) is 0.1 mm.
5. Conductor loop according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor loop is configured as a spiral loop ( 9 ).
6. Conductor loop according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor loon is configured as a multiple loop ( 11 , 14 ).
7. Conductor loop according to claim 5 , wherein the conductor loon has cross-connections ( 10 , 12 , 15 ).
8. Conductor loop according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor loop is connected with a woven support fabric ( 6 , 13 ).
9. Conductor loop according to claim 8 , wherein the connection of the conductor loop ( 5 , 9 , 11 , 14 ) with the woven support fabric ( 6 , 13 ) takes place by means of sewing, gluing, vulcanizing, or clamping it on.
10. Conductor loop according to claim 8 , wherein corner fixation ( 16 ) takes place.
11. Conductor loop according to claim 8 , wherein in the case of a conveyor belt having a textile strength support, the woven support fabric is the strength support itself.
12. Conductor loop according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor loop ( 5 , 9 , 11 , 14 ) is provided with a cover.
13. Conductor loop according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor loop is disposed within the support side ( 2 ) of the conveyor belt ( 1 ).
