[0032] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of the invention.

[0033] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," "top," "bottom," "end," "top," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0035] This invention discloses a chain plate testing device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the disclosed chain plate test device includes a water tank 100, a chip removal mechanism 200, and a water pump 300. The chip removal mechanism 200 can be installed inside the water tank 100, the chain plate 400 is installed on the chip removal mechanism 200, and the water pump 300 can be installed on one side of the water tank 100 with its inlet end connected to the water tank 100 and its outlet end located above the chain plate 400. The water tank 100, the chip removal mechanism 200, and the water pump 300 form a test cycle.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the bottom of the chip removal mechanism 200 can be provided with an outflow channel 620, which is connected to the water tank 100; the inflow channel 610 provided above the chain plate 400 can be connected to the water outlet of the water pump 300, and further connected to the water tank 100 through the water pump 300. The test liquid in the water tank 100 is drawn by the water pump 300, flows from the inflow channel 610 to the chain plate 400, flows through the chain plate 400 and then flows back into the water tank 100 through the outflow channel 620 to form a test cycle.

[0037] In the embodiments disclosed in this invention, the chip removal mechanism 200 may also be provided with a testing module. The testing module may include a flow rate testing unit and a filtration accuracy testing unit. The flow rate testing unit is used to test the water flow capacity of the chain plate 400, and the filtration accuracy testing unit is used to test the ability of the chain plate 400 to intercept debris, i.e., the chip filtering capacity.

[0038] Furthermore, the flow rate testing unit may include a height measuring component to control the flow rate of the inlet channel 610 to a preset test flow rate and measure the changes in the liquid level within the water tank 100. When the liquid level remains unchanged, the water-carrying capacity of the chain plate 400 is the preset flow rate; when the liquid level decreases, the water-carrying capacity of the chain plate 400 is less than the preset flow rate. The preset flow rate can be gradually increased from a low level until the water-carrying capacity of the chain plate 400 is accurately measured. Of course, the outlet channel 620 should be greater than or equal to the maximum flow rate of the inlet channel 610 to prevent the outlet channel 620 from affecting the flow rate during the test cycle.

[0039] Furthermore, the filtration accuracy testing unit may include a chip feeding component and a filtration accuracy measuring component. The chip feeding component is used to feed test chips 500 (e.g., shavings) onto the chain plate 400. The filtration accuracy measuring component may be a liquid purity measuring device to measure the content or proportion of chips 500 in the test liquid. For example, the filtration accuracy measuring component may include a sampling section and a filtration section. The sampling section samples the liquid mixed with chips 500, and after filtering the sample, the state, quantity, or weight of the chips 500 can be observed or measured.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, the chip feeding component can be a water pump 300. The test solution in the water tank 100 contains chip 500 mixed with the chip 500. The chip 500 and the test solution are pumped together by the water pump 300 onto the chain plate 400. In this case, the filtration accuracy measuring component can be located in the outflow channel 620 or in the water tank 100. It should be noted that if the filtration accuracy measuring component is located in the water tank 100, it should be a device capable of measuring changes in the percentage of chip content in the test solution.

[0041] In another alternative embodiment, the chip feeding component can be positioned above the chain plate 400, and either mechanical or manual chip feeding is acceptable; this embodiment does not impose any specific limitations on this. In this case, the filtration accuracy measuring component can be positioned inside the water tank 100, or samples can be taken from the water tank 100 to test the filtration accuracy.

[0042] Furthermore, a filter screen can be installed at the connection between the water tank 100 and the inlet end of the water pump 300.

[0043] The chain plate testing device disclosed in this law simulates the chip removal process of the chain plate. By designing test cycles and test modules, it can accurately measure the water passage capacity and chip filtration capacity of the chain plate. The device has a simple structure and ingenious design.

[0044] In the embodiments disclosed in this invention, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the chip conveying mechanism 200 may include a main structure, a front axle, a rear axle, and a motor 240. The main structure consists of a left side plate 210, a right side plate 220, and a bottom plate 230, which together form an inner cavity to accommodate the chain plate 400. The two ends of the front axle are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the front ends 250 of the left side plate 210 and the right side plate 220, and the two ends of the rear axle are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the rear ends 260 of the left side plate 210 and the right side plate 220. The chain plate 400 is wound around the front and rear axles to form a closed loop. The motor 240 is located at the front end 250 of the right side plate 220 and is driven by the front axle. The motor 240 drives the front axle to rotate, thereby actuating the chain plate 400.

[0045] Furthermore, the width of the chip conveying mechanism can be adjusted to accommodate testing requirements for chain plates of different widths. Specifically, such as... Figure 5As shown, the base plate 230 has several mounting lines with several mounting holes 280. The left side plate 210 and the right side plate 220 can be detachably mounted to the base plate 230 through the mounting holes 280 and with matching bolts, screws, and other connecting parts. In this embodiment, one mounting line is designed for the right side plate 220, and three mounting lines are designed for the left side plate 210, namely the first mounting line 231, the second mounting line 232, and the third mounting line 233. The left side plate 210 can choose any one of the three to adapt to the required chain plate width. Correspondingly, the front axle and the rear axle can also be provided with three mounting points for mounting the left side plate with corresponding three mounting lines, or the front axle and the rear axle can be telescopic axles.

[0046] Of course, multiple mounting lines can also be designed for the right side panel 220, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0047] In the embodiments disclosed in this invention, the left side plate 210, the right side plate 220, and the bottom plate 230 are all provided with reinforcing structures, which satisfies both the detachable connection of the three and the strength requirement of the three to ensure the movement of the chain plate 400. Specifically, as shown in the embodiments... Figure 3 As shown, the reinforcing structure on the left side plate 210 includes a side reinforcing plate 291, a connecting plate 292, and a side reinforcing member 293. The reinforcing sheet metal, as the side reinforcing plate 291, is welded to the front end 250 of the left side plate 210. The L-shaped sheet metal structure, as the connecting plate 292, is welded to the front end 250, the bottom of the arc-shaped section, and the bottom of the straight section of the left side plate 210. This serves both to reinforce the bottom structure and to connect it to the base plate 230. Specifically, mounting holes 280 can be provided at the corresponding positions on the non-welded ends of the L-shaped sheet metal structure, and the connection is made via connectors. The outflow channel 620 can be located on the straight section of the left side plate 210, and the outflow channel 620 is welded with side reinforcing members 293 around its circumference. Figure 4 As shown, the reinforcing structure on the right side plate 220 can be the same as that on the left side plate 210. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the reinforcing structure on the base plate 230 may include a base reinforcing plate 294, an arc-shaped reinforcing member 295, and a base reinforcing member 296. The reinforcing sheet metal is welded to the front end 250 of the base plate 230 as the base reinforcing plate 294, several arc-shaped sheet metals are welded to the arc-shaped section of the base plate 230 as the arc-shaped reinforcing member 295, and several frame-type reinforcing members are welded to the straight section of the base plate 230 as the base reinforcing member 296.

[0048] In the embodiments disclosed in this invention, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the top of the left side plate 210 and the right side plate 220 can be provided with a ramp 270. The ramp 270 can be provided with several through slots as flow inlet channels 610. The ramp 270 can also be provided with a water inlet pipe 310. The flow inlet channel 610 is connected to the outlet end of the water pump 300 through the water inlet pipe 310.

[0049] Preferably, a regulating valve 330 can be installed on the water inlet pipe 310 to control the flow rate of the inlet channel 610.

[0050] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
