Power guided chain with rollers

Abstract

The invention relates to a power guide chain for guiding hoses, cables, etc., the power guide chain having a plurality of chain links (1) which are connected to each other in a hinged manner, the chain links Formed by side panels (11, 12), which are parallel to each other, connected into parallel side panel strands, and cross beams (21) connecting said side panels, wherein said side panels can wrap around every two adjacent sides A common pivot axis of the plates to pivot relative to each other, the power guide chain can travel such that the power guide chain forms a loop having an upper strand, a lower strand and connecting the upper strand and the flexure zone of the lower strand, thereby delimiting the inner and outer sides of the chain link with reference to the loop, the beam (31a) on the outer side of the chain link (1) at least on one end being able to communicate with the The side plate is released and can be pivoted in order to open the chain link (1), while the cross member (31i) is fixedly connected to the side plate on the inside of the chain link, the invention provides that the rollers (21) are concave into at least several side plates, the rollers protrude from the narrow sides (17) of the side plates and can roll on the narrow sides (17) of the opposite strands as the chain travels, and the beams (31i) It is fixedly connected to the side plate facing the inner side of the chain link.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a power guide chain. Background technique [0002] Such power guide chains are used for supplying and / or transmitting signals with a power carrier (such as electricity, water, gas, etc.) to consumers that are movable relative to a fixed connection point. Said power-guiding chain is assembled from a number of links pivotable relative to each other, said links comprising two opposite side plates and a beam connecting these side plates and accommodating within the space thus bounded Cables, hoses, etc. The space can be further divided by dividing webs between beams. In order to adapt the distance to the connection point during the movement of the consumer, the power guide chain forms a loop with an upper strand, a lower strand, and a flexure zone with a Radius of curvature limited by pivot angle. In this context, the upper strand can rest at least partially on the lower strand, and when the consumer is moved, the upper...
