CA 2174495

Conveyor cleaning assemblies are disclosed for cleaning endless conveyors such as for conveyor belts or chains. Each assembly includes a cleaning head which carries brushes for engaging one or more adjacent surfaces of the conveyor and a head support for holding the cleaning head in a fixed position adjacent a predetermined portion of the conveyor path. The cleaning head is engaged on the head support by sliding engagement movement in a direction generally parallel to the direction of movement of the conveyor that is contacted by the cleaning head, with the cleaning head and the head support having abutment stops to limit this engagement movement. Accordingly, the friction forces of the conveyor hold the cleaning head in position on the support without requiring any further attachment devices. In one embodiment, a cleaning head with brushes and a scraper is so mounted for cleaning a conveyor belt. In other embodiments cleaning heads with brushes are so mounted on opposites sides of large conveyor chains.

Assemblages servant au nettoyage de convoyeurs sans fin, notamment pour nettoyer les bandes transporteuses et les chaînes de convoyeurs. Chaque assemblage comprend une tête de nettoyage munie de brosses destinées à entrer en contact avec une ou plusieurs surfaces adjacentes du convoyeur et un support de tête conçu pour maintenir la tête de nettoyage dans une position fixe adjacente à une section déterminée du trajet du convoyeur. La tête de nettoyage est jointe au support par mouvement de glissement dans une direction généralement parallèle à la direction de déplacement du convoyeur avec lequel la tête entre en contact. La tête et le support sont dotés de butées d'appui, qui limitent le mouvement de glissement. Ainsi, les forces de friction du convoyeur maintiennent la tête en position sur son support, sans l'apport d'aucun autre dispositif de fixation. Une version de la présente invention fait état d'une tête de nettoyage, munie de brosses et d'un grattoir, destinées à nettoyer une bande transporteuse de convoyeur. D'autres versions font état de têtes de nettoyage munies de brosses installées sur des côtés opposés de grandes chaînes de convoyeur.
