CONVEYOR TROUGH SECTION

FIELD: mining industry; underground face and gate conveyors. ^ SUBSTANCE: proposed section of trough for underground face and gate conveyors contains upper and lower runs for driving scrapers of scraper chain, transport bottom separating them, connecting devices and two sides, each including rolled U-shaped steel section with one intermediate web and two flanged webs which are interconnected by at least one shaft arranged at approximately half of height and welded to vertically projecting intermediate web of U-shaped steel section. Said U-shaped steel sections pointed outside by their horizontal flanged webs are interconnected. Upper run has two separated rolled preferably L-shaped or T-shaped side sections being welded to transport bottom by upper webs. Sheet connecting U-shaped steel sections rests, through straps forming side guides for lower run, on sheet of bottom welded with lower flanged webs. ^ EFFECT: increased service life of section of trough, cut down cost of manufacture, simple design of trough, possibility of use on high capacity modern conveyors. ^ 20 cl, 5 dwg
