Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chains, in particular to a chain with adjustable tension. Background Art
[0002] Chains are generally metal links or rings, mostly used for mechanical transmission and traction. Chain-shaped objects used to block traffic channels, chains used for mechanical transmission. Among similar products, the chain product series are divided according to the basic structure of the chain, that is, according to the shape of the components, the parts and parts that mesh with the chain, and the size ratio between the parts. There are many types of chains, but their basic structures are only the following, and the others are deformations of these types. We can see from the above chain structures that most chains are composed of chain plates, chain pins, bushings and other components. Other types of chains just make different changes to the chain plates according to different needs. Some chains are equipped with scrapers, some are equipped with guide bearings, and some are equipped with rollers on the chain plates, etc. These are all modifications for different applications.
[0003] During the use of the chain, it is inevitable that it will wear out, which will cause the chain tension to change. Then the staff will need to adjust the spacing of the sprockets to ensure that it reaches the original tension later. However, the traditional chain does not have a structure that can adjust the tension and cannot meet people's needs, thus reducing the practicality of the equipment. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides a chain with adjustable tension, which can effectively solve the problems of the prior art.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] The utility model is a tension-adjustable chain, comprising a base body and a main sprocket body arranged on one side of the base body, and further comprising:
[0007] A drive shaft is connected to the center of the main sprocket body and extends into the base body, and an adjustment sleeve is provided on the outer surface of the drive shaft;
[0008] The adjusting mechanism is arranged on the outer surface of the adjusting sleeve and is used for adjusting the position of the main sprocket body.
[0009] Furthermore, a secondary sprocket body is arranged on a side of the substrate body away from the main sprocket body, and a chain body is arranged on the outer surfaces of the secondary sprocket body and the main sprocket body.
[0010] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the adjusting sleeve are provided with positioning grooves, and the cross section of the positioning groove is a trapezoidal structure. The positioning slide plate is slidably engaged on the inner side of the positioning groove, and the left and right ends of the positioning slide plate are fixed to the base plate body.
[0011] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment hole, an adjustment screw and an adjustment handle. The adjustment hole is opened on one side of the adjustment sleeve. The adjustment screw is rotatably connected to the inner side of the adjustment sleeve, and the adjustment sleeve can be slid left and right for adjustment. The adjustment handle is fixed on one end of the adjustment screw.
[0012] Furthermore, the adjustment groove is opened on the outer side of the substrate body, and the adjustment screw rod passes through the inner side of the adjustment groove.
[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] The utility model can drive the main sprocket body by setting a driving shaft, so that the secondary sprocket body can be driven to rotate through the chain body, so as to facilitate subsequent driving. Then, the arranged adjusting mechanism can adjust the position of the adjusting sleeve. Since the adjusting sleeve can be sleeved on the outside of the driving shaft, when the adjusting sleeve is adjusted, the position of the driving shaft can be adjusted, so that the tightness of the chain body can be adjusted by changing the position of the driving shaft, thereby ensuring its subsequent use. The arranged positioning groove and positioning slide plate can limit the adjusting sleeve, so as to avoid the deviation and shaking of the adjusting sleeve. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
