BELT UNIT, FIXING DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18181187 titled 'BELT UNIT, FIXING DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a belt unit with a support member that rotates and tilts to reduce shifting of the belt-shaped member to one side.
- The belt unit includes a belt-shaped member that is endless.
- The support member rotates and has a rotating shaft that tilts in two directions.
- The support member tilts in a tilt direction with components in different directions.
- The support member reduces the extent of shifting of the belt-shaped member in the width direction.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in conveyor belt systems, industrial machinery, and automated packaging systems.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of shifting of the belt-shaped member to one side during operation, which can lead to inefficiencies and malfunctions.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved stability, reduced wear and tear on the belt-shaped member, and increased overall efficiency of the belt unit.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Belt Unit for Industrial Machinery and Conveyor Systems"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to conveyor belt systems and rotating support members, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the tilting mechanism work in detail?
The patent application mentions that the rotating shaft tilts in two directions, but it does not provide specific details on the mechanism behind this movement.
What materials are used in the construction of the belt unit?
The patent application does not specify the materials used for the belt-shaped member or the support member, which could be crucial for understanding the durability and performance of the unit.
Original Abstract Submitted
A belt unit includes: a belt-shaped member being endless; and a support member that supports the belt-shaped member and rotates, the support member having a rotating shaft that tilts in: a tilt direction having a component in a first direction intersecting a bisector of a central angle of a wrapping range where the belt-shaped member is wrapped around the support member and a component in a second direction where the belt-shaped member elongates and contracts; and a direction where extent of shifting of the belt-shaped member to one side in the width direction of the belt-shaped member is reduced.
