[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 7 According to a first aspect of the present invention, a chain conveyor belt assembly includes two opposing chains 100, support members 200, a conveyor belt 300, and baffle plates 400. A plurality of support members 200 are connected between the two chains 100 and orthogonal to the chains 100. Each support member 200 is spaced apart along the extending direction of the chain 100. The conveyor belt 300 is disposed on each support member 200 and located between the two chains 100. A plurality of baffle plates 400 are disposed on the chains 100 and located between the conveyor belt 300 and the chains 100. The baffle plates 400 are capable of separating the conveyor belt 300 from the chains 100. The conveyor belt 300 is lighter than the metal chain plate, which reduces the energy consumption of the equipment. The support member 200 is set on the chain 100 and can move together with the conveyor belt 300 via the chain 100. The spaced support members 200 can enhance the load-bearing strength of the conveyor belt 300 without adding too much weight. The chain 100 is also equipped with a baffle plate 400, which can move together with the chain 100 and can divide the side of the conveyor belt 300. The baffle plate 400 and the conveyor belt 300 cooperate to reduce the connection gap and reduce the leakage of materials, liquids or dust.

[0023] Specifically, the chain 100 can be equipped with a support member 200 and a baffle plate 400. The installation structure of the support member 200 and the baffle plate 400 is not limited here. The conveyor belt 300 can be installed on top of the support member 200 by fasteners. The conveyor belt 300 can be made of rubber. The conveyor belt 300 can be mass-produced, is simple to manufacture, has low cost, and has sufficient strength. In addition, the bottom of the conveyor belt 300 has a support member 200, which provides high overall rigidity and makes it less prone to deformation when carrying materials. Compared with metal plates, rubber is lighter and consumes less energy, which also helps to reduce the specifications of the chain 100 and the overall cost of the conveyor. Moreover, compared with metal chain plates, the conveyor belt 300 has no connecting seams, making it less likely for materials and dust to leak. The baffle plate 400 is installed on the side of the chain 100 near the conveyor belt 300. The baffle plate 400 extends upward and protrudes, which can separate the conveying channel of the conveyor belt 300 from the chain 100 to limit the lateral leakage of materials or dust.

[0024] It is conceivable that the baffle plate 400 can also prevent the chain 100 from running off-center. The baffle plate 400 can cooperate with the guide rail or slide rail 500 of the conveyor, so that the baffle plate 400 can restrict the lateral movement of the chain 100.

[0025] Reference Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, the chain 100 comprises a plurality of chain link units connected in sequence. Each chain link unit consists of two opposing outer chain plates 110, two opposing inner chain plates 120, and pins 130 and sleeves 140 for connecting adjacent inner chain plates 120 and adjacent outer chain plates 110. The pins are disposed within the sleeves 140. The baffle plate 400 is connected to the two pins 130 on the outer chain plate 110 or the two pins 130 on the inner chain plate 120. Specifically, it can be understood that the two opposing inner chain plates 120 are connected within the two opposing outer chain plates 110 and are connected by pins 130, allowing the chain plates to rotate and connect to form a chain link unit. Each chain link unit is connected in sequence to form the chain 100. A sleeve 140 is fitted onto the pin 130 to facilitate the chain 100's engagement with gears and with guide rails. Meanwhile, the pin 130 can extend further toward one side of the conveyor belt 300, and the baffle plate 400 can be connected to one side of the outer chain plate 110 via the pin 130. It can also be threadedly connected to the pin 130 via a fastening nut to fix the baffle plate 400 to the outer chain plate 110. Each baffle plate 400 can abut against each other in a roughly sequential manner to form a continuous separation.

[0026] It is understandable that the baffle plate 400 can also be located on one side of the inner chain plate 120, and similarly, each baffle plate 400 can abut against the other in sequence.

[0027] Reference Figures 4 to 7In some embodiments of the present invention, the baffle plate 400 is provided with two first connecting holes 410 for the pins 130 to pass through. The sidewall of the baffle plate 400 opposite to another adjacent baffle plate 400 is provided as an arc surface 420, and the center of the arc surface 420 is the midpoint between the centers of the two first connecting holes 410. Specifically, the outer chain plate 110 or the inner chain plate 120 has two pins 130, and the baffle plate 400 has two first connecting holes 410 that cooperate with the pins 130. By providing the sidewall of the baffle plate 400 as an arc surface 420, the sidewalls can avoid each other when the chain plates rotate, which facilitates the normal operation of the chain 100.

[0028] Reference Figures 4 to 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, the outer link plate 110 or the inner link plate 120 is provided with a folded edge 150. The folded edge 150 has a bearing surface for supporting the support member 200, and the support member 200 is connected to the folded edge 150. Specifically, the outer link plate 110 may be provided with a folded edge 150. When processing the link plate, a piece of material for the folded edge 150 may be reserved and bent to form the folded edge 150. The top of the folded edge 150 is a generally horizontal bearing surface. The support member 200 can overlap the bearing surface and can be fastened to the folded edge 150 by fasteners.

[0029] It can be understood that, depending on the required spacing, the folded edge 150 can be set only on the outer link plate 110 at the corresponding spacing position. It is also conceivable that the folded edge 150 can be set on the inner link plate 120 as well.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the support member 200 is a channel steel with its opening facing downwards, and the flange 150 is located within the channel body 210 of the channel steel, with its bearing surface abutting against the bottom wall of the channel body 210. Specifically, the support member 200 can be made of channel steel, and can be a C-shaped channel steel, which has low manufacturing cost. The C-shaped channel steel has a channel body 210, and the flange 150 can be inserted into the channel body 210 for positioning and support, which is convenient for assembly. Furthermore, holes can be opened on the flange 150, and the support member 200 also has corresponding holes for bolt fastening connection.

[0031] Reference Figures 6 to 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, the baffle plate 400 is provided with a relief groove 430, and the folded edge 150 can pass through the relief groove 430. Specifically, the baffle plate 400 may be provided with a relief groove 430 in the middle, and there are connection holes for the pin shaft 130 on both sides of the relief groove 430. The folded edge 150 can extend from the relief groove 430 toward the conveyor belt 300, making the structure more compact.

[0032] Reference Figures 8 to 9In some embodiments of the present invention, a slide rail 500 is further included, on which the chain 100 can slide and the sleeve 140 can roll. The slide rail 500 is located on the side of the baffle plate 400 away from the conveyor belt 300, and the slide rail 500 can restrict the baffle plate 400 from moving away from the belt. Specifically, the slide rail 500 can be disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt 300 and can be slidably abutted by the chain 100. At the same time, the slide rail 500 is also located on the outside of the baffle plate 400, which is connected to the chain 100. When the chain 100 has a tendency to deviate outward, the baffle plate 400 can abut against the slide rail 500 to restrict the chain 100 from deviating and derailing.

[0033] Reference Figures 3 to 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of baffles 310 are provided on the conveyor belt 300, and the baffles 310 are spaced apart along the extending direction of the conveyor belt 300. Specifically, the baffles 310 may be provided on the top of the conveyor belt 300, and the baffles 310 may extend in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 300. When the conveyor belt 300 has an inclined angle, the spaced baffles 310 can block the material, facilitating transportation.

[0034] Reference Figures 3 to 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the baffle 310 has a horizontal portion 311 and a vertical portion 312. The horizontal portion 311 is connected to the conveyor belt 300, and the vertical portion 312 is used for material blocking. Specifically, the baffle 310 can be made of L-shaped steel, which has low manufacturing cost. The horizontal portion 311 fits against the conveyor belt 300 and can be fastened to the conveyor belt 300 by fasteners. The vertical portion 312 can protrude upwards to achieve material blocking.

[0035] According to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention, a conveyor includes a conveyor employing the above-described chain conveyor belt assembly. By employing the above-described chain conveyor belt assembly, the energy consumption of the conveyor can be reduced, the processing cost is low, the connection gaps are few, and the occurrence of material, liquid, or dust leakage can be reduced.
