[0029] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] Reference Figure 1 , this embodiment provides an installation protection mechanism.
[0032] The inner plate 100 is a basic component of the present invention, made of high-strength aluminum alloy material, and has the characteristics of light weight, high strength and wear resistance. The main function of the inner plate 100 is to rest on the chain and provide support for the outer adjustment plate 200. The surface of the inner plate 100 is provided with anti-slip textures to increase the friction between the inner plate 100 and the chain to prevent the chain from sliding.
[0033] The inner plate 100 rests against the chain, which can also play a certain buffering role and prevent external forces from being directly applied to the chain and damaging the chain. The outer surface of the inner plate 100 can be provided with soft rubber and other materials to improve adaptability to meet on-site needs. The outer adjustment plate 200 is located on one side of the inner plate 100 and is made of stainless steel with good corrosion resistance and high strength. The outer adjustment plate 200 extends obliquely on both sides in a C-shape. This design better covers the chain and can roughly control the position of the outer adjustment plate 200 within a reasonable range, preventing the outer adjustment plate 200 from sliding too much during operation.
[0034] Docking holes 201 are fixedly provided on both sides of the outer adjustment plate 200 for rotating and screwing in bolts. The size of the docking hole 201 matches the bolt to ensure that the bolt can be firmly fixed on the outer adjustment plate 200. During operation, first place the inner plate 100 against the chain to ensure that the inner plate 100 fits tightly with the chain. Press the outer adjustment plate 200 onto the inner plate 100 so that the C-shaped structure of the outer adjustment plate 200 covers the chain. Rotate and screw in the bolts through the docking holes 201 on both sides of the outer adjustment plate 200. The cooperation between the bolts and the docking holes 201 ensures stability during installation. Gradually tighten the bolts so that the outer adjustment plate 200 applies pressure to the chain bolt below until the bolt is snapped into place.
[0035] The whole process has a simple structure and is easy to install, which greatly reduces the skill requirements of the operator. The traditional method of using a sledgehammer to hit is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and also requires workers to use the strength of the sledgehammer and have a certain degree of proficiency in the angle. Otherwise, brute force hitting can easily damage the chain. High-strength aluminum alloy and stainless steel materials have good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which extends the service life.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, and is different from the previous embodiment in that:
[0038] This embodiment is a further optimization of claim 1, and mainly involves the width relationship and interaction between the inner plate 100 and the outer adjustment plate 200. The width of the inner plate 100 is smaller than the width of the outer adjustment plate 200. The purpose of this design is to ensure that the inner plate 100 can fit tightly on the inner wall of the outer adjustment plate 200 and is not easy to deviate and slide, thereby forming a more stable structure.
[0039] The design width of the inner plate 100 is 80% of the chain width, while the width of the outer adjustment plate 200 is 120% of the chain width. This design ensures that the inner plate 100 can be firmly against the chain, and the outer adjustment plate 200 can fully cover the chain to provide additional protection. The fit between the inner plate 100 and the inner wall of the outer adjustment plate 200 is achieved through precision machining, ensuring that the gap between the two is minimized, thereby improving the overall stability and durability.
[0040] The protruding end 201a fixedly arranged on the outside of the docking hole 201 is a cylindrical structure with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the docking hole 201, which is used to enhance the connection stability between the bolt and the outer adjustment plate 200. The spiral pattern 201a-1 opened on the inner wall of the protruding end 201a matches the bolt. When the bolt is rotated and screwed in, the spiral pattern 201a-1 can provide additional friction to prevent the bolt from loosening. This design enables the bolt to distribute force more evenly during the tightening process, avoiding material damage caused by concentrated force.
[0041] The docking bolt 201b provided in the docking hole 201 is a slender metal rod, one end of which is in the docking hole 201 and the other end extends under the outer adjustment plate 200 to directly fit and dock with the chain bolt. The chain bolt is screwed in to apply force to ensure that the bolt is in place.
[0042] The extension baffle 202 is fixedly arranged on both sides of the outer adjustment plate 200, and its width is the same as that of the outer adjustment plate 200, which plays a role in limiting the lateral movement of the chain. The material selection of the extension baffle 202 is the same as that of the outer adjustment plate 200, ensuring the overall corrosion resistance and strength. The installation protection mechanism is not only optimized in structure, but also enhanced in function, making the installation of the chain more stable and reliable, and easy to maintain and replace. These designs all reflect the in-depth understanding and innovation of the existing technology.
[0043] Example 3
[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, and is different from the previous embodiment in that:
[0045] This embodiment is a detailed description of the auxiliary fixing device described in claim 6, which is intended to further improve the overall performance of the installation protection mechanism. The hollow groove 300 is located at the center of the inner plate 100 and is used to install the clamping assembly 301. The design of the hollow groove 300 takes into account the strength of the inner plate 100 and the fixing method of the clamping assembly 301, ensuring the stability of the structure. The clamping assembly 301 is installed in the hollow groove 300 and is located at the center of the outer adjustment plate 200. The main function of the clamping assembly 301 is to provide an additional fixing point to ensure that the inner plate 100 and the outer adjustment plate 200 are firmly fixed.
[0046] Located in the center of the outer adjustment plate 200, it is used to fix the support rod 302a. The size and shape of the receiving opening 302 match the support rod 302a, ensuring that the support rod 302a can be firmly installed in the receiving opening 302. Support rod 302a: fixed in the receiving opening 302, its function is to provide support for the clamping assembly 301, and also serves as a sliding track for the push rod 303.
[0047] The extension hole 302a-1 is set through the side wall of the support rod 302a to provide a sliding path for the push rod 303. The push rod 303 is slidably set in the extension hole 302a-1. The design of the push rod 303 enables it to slide freely in the extension hole 302a-1 while maintaining stable guidance.
[0048] The elastic member 303a is fixed on the inner side of the push rod 303 to provide restoring force for the push rod 303. The clamping assembly 301 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the push rod 303. The position of the clamping assembly 301 is controlled by the push rod 303 and the elastic member 303a. The clamping assembly 301 is located in the hollow groove 300 to achieve precise clamping of the inner panel 100.
[0049] The elastic member 303a is usually made of a spring, rubber or other elastic material, and its main function is to provide a restoring force. When the push rod 303 is moved by an external force, the elastic member 303a will generate a force in the opposite direction, trying to push the push rod 303 back to its original position. The elastic member 303a ensures that the clamping assembly 301 always applies a certain pressure to the hollow groove 300 on the inner plate 100, providing better stability for the fixation of the inner plate 100 and the outer adjustment plate 200.
