Abstract

By employing a simple structure, the invention provides a conveyor belt which can detect overload and can be easily applied to an existing conveyor belt. Further, detection of twisting and slippage of the conveyor belt can be obtained. Specifically, an overload can be detected by measuring a load of an orthogonal direction with respect to a rotation axis of shape-maintaining rollers by a load cell installed on a bracket. Further, twisting of the conveyor belt can be also detected by measuring a load of an axial direction with respect to the rotation axis of the shape-maintaining rollers.
