DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] 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.
[0021] Example: See Figure 1 - Figure 6 In the present embodiment, a roller chain link structure is provided, which is specifically used for transmitting mechanical power, and specifically comprises: a first buckle plate 1 and a second buckle plate 2, wherein one side of the first buckle plate 1 is symmetrically provided with a first pin shaft 11 and a second pin shaft 12, and the second buckle plate 2 is symmetrically provided with a first limiting hole 21 and a second limiting hole 22, one side of the first limiting hole 21 is provided with a first slide groove 23, and the other end of the first slide groove 23 is provided with a through hole 24, one side of the second limiting hole 22 is provided with a second slide groove 25, and the diameter of the through hole 24 is larger than the diameter of the end of the pin shaft, the first slide groove 23 is a rectangular structure, and the second slide groove 25 is an arc structure, and the center of the arc is located on the axis line of the first limiting hole 21.
[0022] Specifically, in this embodiment, when installing the chain buckle, first ensure that the ends of the chains to be connected are all on the inner side (the connection of the chain buckle structure of the present invention is only applicable to the case where the ends of the chains are all on the inner chain plates 31). First, the ends of the chains need to be brought close to each other, and then the sleeve 32 is placed between the inner chain plates 31, and one side of the first buckle plate 1 fits with the outer side of the inner chain plates 31, so that the first pin 11 and the second pin 12 of the first buckle plate 1 pass through the inner chain plates 31 and the sleeve 32 at both ends of the chain respectively. The second buckle plate 2 is installed so that the first pin 11 passes through the first through hole 24, and the width of the first slide groove 23 matches the outer diameter of the first pin 11. By moving the second buckle plate 2 along the direction of the first slide groove 23, the first pin 11 slides along the first slide groove 23 to the first limiting hole 21, and then the second buckle plate 2 is moved to swing around the first pin 11, and the width of the second slide groove 25 matches the outer diameter of the second pin 12. During the swinging of the second buckle plate 2, the second pin shaft 12 slides into the second slide groove 25 and finally slides into the second limiting hole 22. The disassembly method is opposite to the installation operation. The second buckle plate 2 is rotated to disengage the second pin shaft 12 from the second limiting hole 22. The second buckle plate 2 is moved to make the first pin shaft 11 slide from the first limiting hole 21 to the through hole 24. At this time, the first buckle plate 1 can be directly removed to realize the disassembly of the chain buckle.
[0023] The design of the chain buckle structure of the utility model enables fast and tool-free chain connection and disassembly in different mechanical equipment, especially in systems that require frequent disassembly or maintenance, thereby improving maintenance efficiency and equipment reliability.
[0024] An arc-shaped connection seat 26 is provided concentrically between the first limiting hole 21 and the second limiting hole 22 on one side of the second buckle plate 2. The connection seat 26 is rotatably connected with a lock buckle 4. The lock buckle 4 is provided with an edge 41 adapted to the outer contour of the ends of the first pin shaft 11 and the second pin shaft 12. A notch 42 is provided on one side of the edge 41. The width of the notch 42 is greater than the outer diameter of the ends of the first pin shaft 11 and the second pin shaft 12. During installation, the two lock buckles 4 are rotated so that the notch 42 faces the first slide groove 23 and the second slide groove 25 respectively, so that the end of the first pin shaft 11 slides into the first limiting hole 21 along the first slide groove 23, and the end of the second pin shaft 12 slides into the second limiting hole 22 along the second slide groove 25, thereby realizing the installation of the second buckle plate 2. After the second buckle plate 2 is installed, the two lock buckles 4 are rotated so that their notches 42 are respectively moved to the outside of the first slide groove 23 and the second slide groove 25. At this time, the edge 41 of the lock buckle 4 can prevent the first pin shaft 11 (second pin shaft 12) from detaching from the first limiting hole 21 (second limiting hole 22).
[0025] In this embodiment, the connecting seat 26 is provided with an arc-shaped guide bar 27, and the lock buckle 4 is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove 43 slidably adapted to the arc-shaped guide bar 27, so as to realize the rotational connection between the connecting seat 26 and the lock buckle 4. In addition, the arc-shaped guide bar 27 ends at the first slide groove 23 or the second slide groove 25, and its arc length is greater than the semicircular arc length, so as to prevent the lock buckle 4 from detaching from the connecting seat 26 and ensure the firm connection of the chain buckle.
[0026] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The lock buckle 4 is provided with a gourd-shaped limiting groove 44, and the lock buckle 4 is plugged and adapted with the limiting strip 5. The two ends of the limiting strip 5 are respectively provided with limiting parts 51 that are plugged and adapted with the limiting groove 44. A plug 52 is provided on one side of the limiting part 51, and a plug hole 45 is provided in the limiting groove 44. The lock buckle 4 in this embodiment is rotated and locked, so that the notch 42 of the lock buckle 4 at the first limiting hole 21 is rotated to the left, and the notch 42 of the lock buckle 4 at the second limiting hole 22 is rotated to the top. At this time, the limiting grooves 44 of the two lock buckles 4 are symmetrical with respect to the center of the buckle plate. The plug 52 of the limiting part 51 is plugged and adapted with the plug hole 45 in the limiting groove 44, so that the limiting parts 51 at both ends of the limiting strip 5 can be just inserted into the limiting groove 44, completing the installation operation of the limiting strip 5, and the rotation of the lock buckle 4 can be limited.
[0027] The lock buckle 4 is designed with a cylindrical outer contour, and its side is provided with a strip-shaped protrusion structure 47. The lock buckle 4 in this embodiment has protrusion structures 47 for anti-slip arranged evenly around the circumference, so that the user can turn the lock buckle 4 to achieve the constraint effect on the first pin 11 and the second pin 12.
[0028] In this embodiment, the plug 52 is made of elastic material (rubber, silicone, etc.), so that the plug 52 can adapt to the shape when inserted into the limiting groove 44, providing tight sealing and fixation. The limiting groove 44 is also provided with a buckle 46 in the circumferential direction, and the limiting portion 51 of the limiting strip 5 is fixed by the buckle 46, so that the chain buckle has a certain degree of flexibility to adapt to the impact during the chain transmission process and avoid the separation of the limiting strip 5.
[0029] 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.
