[0061] Further, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , it can be understood that the positioning ring 32 is arranged at the middle position of the chain wheel 3 hole along the axial direction of the chain wheel 3. The lengths of the second inner splines 31 arranged on the two sides of the positioning ring 32 along the axial direction of the chain wheel 3 are equal. The driving sleeve 6 is inserted into the chain wheel 3 hole, and the driving sleeve 6 abuts against the positioning ring 32 to achieve the axial positioning of the two driving sleeves 6.

[0064] Preferably, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, the distance between the two driving shafts 4 in the extension direction of the axial line of the sprocket 3 is a first distance; the first distance is greater than the thickness of the sprocket 3. In this embodiment, the first distance between the two driving shafts 4 provides a mounting space for the sprocket 3, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the sprocket 3. When mounting the sprocket 3, the sprocket 3 is placed at the position of the first distance, and the axial line of the sprocket and the axial line of the driving shaft 4 are coaxially arranged; then the two driving sleeves 6 are respectively slid along the axial direction of the driving shaft 4, and one end of each of the two driving sleeves 6 is clamped with the positioning ring 32, so that the second outer spline 63 of the two driving sleeves 6 and the second inner spline 31 of the sprocket 3 are inserted and fixed, and thus the driving sleeve 6 can drive the sprocket 3 to rotate.
[0065] Further, as shown in Figure 5 The thickness of the sprocket 3 refers to the extension length of the sprocket 3 in the axial direction of the sprocket 3.
[0066] Preferably, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the single-chain driving device comprises a bearing seat 2, a bearing, and a fixing sleeve 5; the driving shaft 4, the bearing seat 2, the bearing, and the fixing sleeve 5 are correspondingly arranged; the inner ring of the bearing is connected with the driving shaft 4, the outer ring of the bearing is connected with the bearing seat 2, and the fixing sleeve 5 is arranged between the driving sleeve 6 and the bearing seat 2, and the fixing sleeve 5 is used to limit the axial displacement of the driving sleeve 6 when the driving sleeve 6 is inserted into the hole of the sprocket 3.
[0067] Further, the fixing sleeve 5 achieves the axial positioning of the driving sleeve 6, preventing the driving sleeve 6 from sliding out of the hole of the sprocket 3 when the sprocket 3 is working.
[0068] Preferably, as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The fixing sleeve 5 comprises an upper sleeve body 51 and a lower sleeve body 52; the upper sleeve body 51 is arranged on one side of the driving shaft 4, the lower sleeve body 52 is arranged on the other side of the driving shaft 4, the upper sleeve body 51 and the lower sleeve body 52 are connected through a fastener 53, and the upper sleeve body 51 and the lower sleeve body 52 enclose a cavity; one end of the cavity is provided with a first step 54, and the other end of the cavity is provided with a second step 55; the first step 54 is movably clamped with the driving sleeve 6, and the second step 55 is clamped with the bearing seat 2.
[0069] Furthermore, the upper sleeve 51 has a through hole, and the lower sleeve 52 has a threaded hole. The fastener 53 is a bolt, which passes through the through hole on the upper sleeve 51 and the threaded hole on the lower sleeve 52 for screwing. The upper sleeve 51 and lower sleeve 52, connected by bolts, form an "I"-shaped chamber. The structure located between the first step 54 and the second step 55 is engaged between the drive sleeve 6 and the bearing seat 2. The first step 54 and the second step 65 of the drive sleeve 6 are movably engaged, allowing the fixed sleeve 5 to axially position the drive sleeve 6 without hindering its rotation. The fixed sleeve 5 encloses the drive sleeve 6, drive shaft 4, and other structures within it, achieving a more complete and aesthetically pleasing appearance for the single-chain drive device. The fixed engagement between the fixed sleeve 5 and the bearing seat 2 restricts the circumferential rotation of the fixed sleeve 5.

[0072] This embodiment also introduces a conveyor equipped with a single-chain drive device as described above.
[0073] When the conveyor needs to replace the sprocket 3, disassemble and remove the fixing sleeves 5 on both sides; then slide the two drive sleeves 6 to the left and right sides respectively. When the axial distance between the two drive sleeves 6 exceeds the thickness of the sprocket 3, the sprocket 3 can be removed from between the two drive sleeves 6 and the two drive shafts 4 for replacement. Figure 3 As shown; after replacing the new sprocket 3, insert the second external spline 63 of the two drive sleeves 6 and the second internal spline 31 of the sprocket 3; after adjusting the axial position between the sprocket 3, drive sleeve 6 and drive shaft 4, install the two fixing sleeves 5, and the replacement of the sprocket 3 is completed.
