A conveyor belt includes a carrying-side cover plate and a running-side cover plate. The cover plates conjointly define a belt body having a plurality of reinforcement elements embedded therein. The belt body has edge zones and is closable so as to cause the edge zones to overlap and be in mutual contact engagement to form a tube conveyor belt or a pocket conveyor belt. The carrying-side cover plate has a chevron profile arrangement which includes a plurality of diagonal elements extending in both a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction of the conveyor belt. Each two of the diagonal elements conjointly defines a pair with multiple pairs defining a V-formation having a tip aligned in a direction opposite to the direction of movement of the belt.
