The drag chain is composed of outer chain pieces, inner chain pieces and chain pins. The outer chain piece is the external structural part of the drag chain, which plays a role in protecting the internal components and connecting various parts. The inner chain piece is located inside the drag chain and is used in cooperation with the outer chain piece.

[0040] The feeding mechanism 30 comprises a horizontal plate 301 fixedly connected to the top of the two supports 201, and symmetrical vertical plates 302 are fixedly connected to the middle of the horizontal plate 301, and a storage cavity 303 for accommodating the chain pin is formed in each vertical plate 302.

[0042] Specifically, the chain pin is vertically stored in the storage cavity 303 of the vertical plate 302 one by one, and when the push rod 205 horizontally enters the storage cavity 303 from the second circular tube 305, the push rod 205 pushes the chain pin in the storage cavity 303 into the first circular tube 304, and then pushes the chain pin into the pin hole of the tow chain to realize the assembly of the tow chain, and after the assembly of one chain pin is completed, the push rod 205 is reset away from the tow chain, and at this time, after the push rod 205 moves back into the second circular tube 305, the chain pin in the storage cavity 303 falls to the bottom, so that the push rod 205 pushes the chain pin into the pin hole again.

[0043] The extension mechanism 40 comprises a moving tube 401 slidably connected in the first circular tube 304, and a reset spring 402 is symmetrically arranged outside the moving tube 401, one end of the reset spring 402 is fixedly connected to the protrusion outside the moving tube 401, and the other end of the reset spring 402 is fixedly connected to the protrusion inside the first circular tube 304.

[0045] Specifically, when the chain pin is pushed into the second pipe 305 by the push rod 205, the push rod 205 enters the moving pipe 401, the chain pin is blocked by the pressing ball 404, and under the push of the push rod 205, the moving pipe 401 and the chain pin are pushed out of the second pipe 305 at the same time. The moving pipe 401 pushed out is aligned with the pin hole of the drag chain, and finally the pressing ball 404 is pushed into the containing cavity 403 under the push of the push rod 205, so as to push the chain pin from the moving pipe 401 into the pin hole.

[0046] After the chain pin is pushed into the pin hole from the moving pipe 401, the pressing ball 404 is pushed out of the containing cavity 403 by the pressing spring 405, and the moving pipe 401 is pushed back into the second pipe 305 under the push of the reset spring 402, so that the next chain pin is pushed into the moving pipe 401.

[0047] The conveying mechanism 50 comprises a conveying belt 501 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 10. A rotating shaft at one end of the conveying belt 501 is fixedly connected with a first bevel gear 502. The upper surface of the base 10 is also rotatably connected with a transmission shaft 504. One end of the transmission shaft 504 is fixedly connected with a second bevel gear 503. The second bevel gear 503 is engaged with the first bevel gear 502.

[0048] The end of the transmission shaft 504 away from the second bevel gear 503 is rotatably connected with a second gear 506. The second gear 506 is engaged with a third rack 505. The third rack 505 slides through the support 201, and the third rack 505 is fixedly connected with the connecting rod 204.

[0050] In specific work, after the extrusion mechanism 20 completes the extrusion of the chain pin, the hydraulic cylinder 209 drives the connecting rod 204 away from the reset position, the connecting rod 204 synchronously drives the third rack 505 away from the chain, the third rack 505 drives the transmission shaft 504 to rotate through the second gear 506, and since the ratchet 507 and the pawl 508 are in meshing state, the transmission shaft 504 rotates synchronously through the second bevel gear 503 and the first bevel gear 502, thereby driving the conveyor belt 501 to move the chain to the extrusion mechanism 20, thereby moving the next pin hole to the extrusion mechanism 20 to complete the insertion of the chain pin, and using the conveyor belt 501 to move the next chain hole to the position, the conveyor belt 501 can quickly and stably move the chain segment with the chain pin inserted to the next assembly station, and the positioning mechanism 60 cooperated with the conveying mechanism 50 can accurately control the distance of each movement, ensuring that the assembly positions between each chain link are accurate and consistent, effectively avoiding the problems of chain link misalignment and uneven gap caused by human operation error.

[0051] When the extrusion mechanism 20 pushes the chain pin into the pin hole, the connecting rod 204 synchronously drives the third rack 505 to move in the direction of approaching the chain, the third rack 505 drives the second gear 506 to rotate, but at this time, the ratchet 507 and the pawl 508 are not in meshing state, so the transmission shaft 504 will not be driven to rotate.

[0052] The positioning mechanism 60 comprises a plurality of support seats 601 fixedly connected to the surface of the conveyor belt 501, each support seat 601 is internally provided with a mounting cavity 602, both ends of the mounting cavity 602 are slidably connected with a plug rod 603, and the first spring 604 is fixedly connected between the two plug rods 603.

[0053] In specific work, after the chain links of the chain to be assembled are aligned with each other, the chain is placed on the top of the support seat 601, and then the two plug rods 603 are pushed into the pin hole under the pushing of the first spring 604, so that after the chain is conveyed to the position of assembling the chain pin, the chain body is accurately positioned and fixed, providing a stable basis for subsequent chain plate alignment and chain pin insertion operations, the plug rod 603 inserted into the pin hole can temporarily fix the chain, preventing the chain from moving or shaking during the insertion of the chain pin, and when the chain pin is pushed into the pin hole, the chain pin pushes the plug rod 603 in the pin hole back to the mounting cavity 602 of the support seat 601.

[0054] Working principle:

[0055] The chain to be assembled is placed on the conveying belt 501 of the conveying mechanism 50, and the chain is fixed by the positioning mechanism 60, then the two extrusion mechanisms 20 simultaneously push the chain pin out of the feeding mechanism 30, align the chain pin with the pin hole through the extension mechanism 40, and then push the chain pin into the pin hole, when the extrusion mechanism 20 is reset, the conveying belt 501 is driven to rotate by the conveying mechanism 50, and the next pin hole is moved to the two extrusion mechanisms 20, and then the chain pin is pushed into the pin hole by the extrusion mechanism 20 again.
