DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through examples. The following examples are provided to explain the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.
[0023] Embodiment 1:
[0024] See also Figure 1 - Figure 3 In this embodiment, a high-speed racing motorcycle transmission chain 1 is provided, which is specifically used for high-performance racing motorcycles to provide reliable power transmission under extreme track conditions. This transmission chain 1 is particularly suitable for racing environments that require high durability and low maintenance, such as endurance races and speed events. Specifically, it includes: an outer link plate 11, an inner link plate 12, a pin 13 and a bushing 14. The outer link plate 11 and the inner link plate 12 are connected to each other through the pin 13. The pin sleeve 14 is provided with a bushing 14. The surface of the pin 13 is provided with a spiral groove 131. The joint between the pin 13 and the outer link plate 11 is provided with a first sealing ring 31, and the first sealing ring 31 is placed in the first groove 21 of the outer link plate 11.
[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the technician needs to apply grease 4 on the outer surface of the pin 13 in advance, so that the grease 4 is filled in the spiral groove 131, and the bushing 14 is put on the outer side of the pin 13, and then the first sealing ring 31 is put on the outer side of the pin 13. During assembly, the first sealing ring 31 is inserted into the first groove 21 of the outer link plate 11, so that the grease 4 is filled between the pin 13 and the bushing 14, and between the pin 13 and the outer link plate. During the competition, the chain transmission system starts to work, and the intense driving causes the chain temperature to rise, so that the grease 4 melts and flows evenly along the spiral groove 131 to between the pin 13 and the bushing 14, and between the pin 13 and the outer link plate, lubricating the above parts. Among them, the spiral groove 131 spirally extends to the outer connecting plate and ends before the joint between the pin shaft 13 and the outer side of the outer link plate 11. The joint between the pin shaft 13 and the outer side of the outer link plate 11 is sealed by the first sealing ring 31 to prevent the grease 4 from leaking from the gap between the pin shaft 13 and the outer side of the outer connecting plate.
[0026] The outer surface of the pin 13 of the utility model is designed with a spiral groove 131, which not only provides storage space for the grease 4, but also when the temperature rises, the grease 4 can flow along the spiral groove 131 to evenly lubricate the contact surface between the pin 13 and the bushing 14. In a racing competition, the temperature of the chain will rise due to high-speed operation. The grease 4 in this design melts at high temperatures and flows outward along the spiral groove 131, achieving continuous self-lubrication, and ensuring the stable performance of the chain throughout the entire competition by reducing friction and wear. The first sealing ring 31 is placed in the first groove 21 of the outer link plate 11, which not only ensures that the grease 4 remains sufficient at the necessary locations, but also prevents the leakage of the grease 4.
[0027] The bushing 14 includes a middle section 141 in contact with the sprocket wheel teeth 5 and a connecting section 142 rotatably connected to the inner link plate 12. The connecting section 142 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 143. The connecting section 142 is provided with a second sealing ring 32 at the joint of the inner link plate 12. The second sealing ring 32 is placed in the second groove 22 of the inner link plate 12. The connecting section 142 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 143. The first through holes 143 are connected to the pin 13 in the bushing 14, so that the grease 4 can seep out from the first through holes 143 to the outer surface of the connecting section 142 (the joint of the bushing 14 and the inner link plate 12) when melted, so as to achieve a self-lubricating effect. Among them, a second sealing ring 32 is provided at one end of the connecting section 142, and the sealing ring is placed in the second groove 22 of the inner link plate 12 to prevent the grease 4 from leaking from the gap between the bushing 14 and the inner side of the inner link plate 12, so as to achieve a lasting lubricating effect.
[0028] Embodiment 2:
[0029] See also Figure 4 , combined with the effects of the first sealing ring 31 and the second sealing ring 32, the joint between the pin shaft 13 and the outer side of the outer link plate 11 is oil-sealed by the first sealing ring 31, and the joint between the pin shaft 13 and the inner side of the inner link plate 12 is oil-sealed by the second sealing ring 32, so that the grease 4 can only overflow from the contact side of the outer link plate 11 and the inner link plate 12 (the joint between the pin shaft 13 and the inner side of the outer link plate 11, and the joint between the bushing 14 and the outer side of the inner link plate 12), thereby achieving the lubrication effect between the outer link plate 11 and the inner link plate 12. Figure 5 The outer link plate 11 and the inner link plate 12 are both provided with a third groove 23, and the two third grooves 23 are arranged relatively to each other. The third sealing ring 33 is placed in the two third grooves 23 between the outer link plate 11 and the inner link plate 12, which can effectively prevent the grease 4 from flowing out from the gap between the outer link plate 11 and the inner link plate 12, thereby achieving continuous lubrication between the outer link plate 11 and the inner link plate 12.
[0030] Embodiment 3:
[0031] See also Figure 6The step 145 of the middle section 141 and the inner side of the inner link plate 12 are both provided with a fourth groove 24, the two fourth grooves 24 are arranged in opposite positions, and a fourth sealing ring 34 is arranged between the two fourth grooves 24. During the chain transmission process, there is not only contact friction between the outer link plate 11 and the inner link plate 12, but also contact friction between the bushing 14 (at the step 145 of the middle section 141) and the inner link plate 12 (the inner side). After melting, the grease 4 can not only overflow from the contact side of the outer link plate 11 and the inner link plate 12, but also flow out from the gap between the bushing 14 and the inner side of the inner link plate 12, so as to achieve the lubrication effect between the bushing 14 (at the step 145 of the middle section 141) and the inner link plate 12 (the inner side). The fourth sealing ring 34 can effectively prevent the grease 4 from overflowing from between the bushing 14 and the inner link plate 12, so as to achieve continuous lubrication.
[0032] Embodiment 4:
[0033] See also Figure 7 The middle section 141 is provided with a plurality of second through holes 144. In this embodiment, the middle section 141 of the bushing 14 needs to cooperate with the sprocket teeth 5 for transmission. During the transmission process, the friction heats up and transfers the heat to the inner pin 13. After the pin 13 heats up, the grease 4 in the spiral groove 131 gradually melts. The melted grease 4 seeps out from the second through holes 144 to the outer surface of the middle section 141. When the middle section 141 cooperates with the sprocket teeth 5 for transmission, the grease 4 is transferred and attached to the surface of the sprocket teeth 5, ensuring that the sprocket teeth 5 are fully lubricated when rotating at high speed, reducing the friction with the chain and improving the transmission efficiency.
[0034] The first sealing ring 31, the second sealing ring 32, the third sealing ring 33 and the fourth sealing ring 34 of the utility model are all made of heat-resistant and oil-resistant rubber materials, such as fluororubber (Viton) or silicone rubber (Silicone), which can provide good sealing performance and chemical resistance. In addition, polyurethane (PU) can also be selected because of its excellent wear resistance and elasticity. The first sealing ring 31, the second sealing ring 32, the third sealing ring 33 and the fourth sealing ring 34 are O-type or X-type sealing rings.
[0035] The outer link plate 11, the inner link plate 12, the pin 13 and the bushing 14 are made of alloy steel. The alloy steel has high strength and can withstand power transmission and external impact during high-speed operation. The hardness and wear resistance of the alloy steel make the chain less prone to wear during long-term use, thereby extending the service life. Especially in the high-speed racing environment, the chain needs to withstand constantly changing tension, and the tensile resistance of the alloy steel ensures the stability of the chain.
[0036] The above contents described in this specification are merely examples of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art of the present utility model may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described, or replace them in similar ways, as long as they do not deviate from the contents of the present utility model specification or exceed the scope defined in the claims, they shall all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
