[0002] The trencher is one of the main types of construction machinery. The commonly used trencher chain guide rails, although with the function of adjustment, are mostly supported by bolts, so that the guide rails tension the chain. However, during the operation of the chain, the bolts are subjected to greater force, which can easily lead to bolt stripping and damage, and then cause the guide rails to automatically move and shrink, making it impossible for the chain to remain tensioned. At the same time, the support strength of the adjustable guide rail connection is insufficient and easily damaged.

However, the connection area between the bolts and the baffle and the bracket is limited, which reduces the support strength. In addition, the spacing between the two bolts is adjusted by a third bolt, and then the moving position between the baffle and the bracket is adjusted, which can easily cause the surface thread of the third bolt to be damaged by stripping, thereby reducing the support stability.
