Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chain replacement accessories, and particularly relates to an expansion device for installing a chain of a roller table machine. Background Art

[0002] The rotation of the rollers of the roller table machine is realized by connecting a chain to drive two rollers. In the case of chain damage, roller injury, etc., there are generally two ways to tighten the chain: ① Adopt the method of first tightening the chain and then installing the roller. Due to insufficient stretching amount of the chain, the installation usually cannot be completed; ② Adopt the method of installing the roller first and then installing the chain. However, since the roller is already fixed, under the action of the chain tension, multiple people are required to push and pull the roller forcefully, and the installation difficulty is large and the operation efficiency is low. Therefore, in view of the above problems, it is necessary to make improvements. Summary of the Utility Model

[0020] In this article, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation. The element defined by the statement "including one..." does not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the said element.

[0021] An expansion device for the installation of the roller path machine chain, such as Figures 1-3 shown, includes two force plates 1 that are arranged in parallel and are respectively located inside the rollers connected to both ends of the chain to be expanded. An installation plate 2 is fixed on the inner side wall of the force plate 1. A length adjustable device is installed between the two installation plates 2, and a bidirectional ratchet mechanism 5 with a handle 4 is provided on the length adjustable device. The length of the length adjustable device is adjusted by driving the bidirectional ratchet mechanism 5 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by the handle 4, so as to adjust the distance between the two rollers; in the above structure, by setting a length adjustable device with a bidirectional ratchet mechanism 5 on the installation plate 2 inside the two force plates 1 that are arranged in parallel and adapted to the corresponding side rollers, and adjusting the length of the length adjustable device by driving the bidirectional ratchet mechanism 5 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by the handle 4, the distance between the two rollers is adjusted, solving the problem of difficult chain replacement, reducing the difficulty of chain replacement, and ensuring the chain stretching amount;

[0022] such as Figures 1-2As shown in the figure, the specific structure of the force-bearing plate 1 is as follows: The force-bearing plate 1 adopts a wavy structure. The arc surface of the middle part of the force-bearing plate 1 facing the roller side fits and adheres to the roller on the same side, and the middle part of the outer wall of the force-bearing plate 1 on the side opposite to the roller is adaptively connected to the corresponding end of the length adjustable device. In the above structure, the distance between the middle parts of the two parallel force-bearing plates 1 is smaller than the distance between the two ends. The two mounting plates 2, the length adjustable device, and the bidirectional ratchet mechanism 5 are all arranged between the middle parts of the two force-bearing plates 1. The roller is located at the middle position on the outer side of the force-bearing plate 1 and contacts the outer arc surface of the middle part of the force-bearing plate 1 during use. The distance between the two ends of the two force-bearing plates 1 is larger, providing the required operating space for the operation of the operating handle 4.

[0023] As Figures 1-2 shown in the figure, the specific structure of the length adjustable device is as follows: The length adjustable device includes a fixed sleeve 3 and a screw rod located between the two force-bearing plates 1. One end of the fixed sleeve 3 is fixed to the middle part of one of the mounting plates 2, and the screw rod threadedly connected to the fixed sleeve 3 is rotatably installed in the middle part of the other mounting plate 2. The bidirectional ratchet mechanism 5 is adaptively connected to the screw rod, and by rotating the bidirectional ratchet mechanism 5 clockwise or counterclockwise through the handle 4, the distance between the two force-bearing plates 1 can be adjusted. Specifically, the ratchet in the bidirectional ratchet mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the screw rod. Alternatively, a hexagon can be fixed at the rotatable connection end of the screw rod so that the hexagon hole of the ratchet fits and connects with the hexagon on the screw rod. In the above structure, the central hole of the fixed sleeve 3 is a threaded hole, and the screw rod rotatably installed in the middle part of the other mounting plate 2 is adaptively connected to the threaded hole of the fixed sleeve 3. During the process of the bidirectional ratchet mechanism 5 controlling the rotation of the screw rod, the distance between the two mounting plates 2 is adjusted, so that the distance between the rollers connected to the two ends of the chain to be expanded by the two force-bearing plates 1 is increased to the original installation distance. At this time, the screw holes are aligned, and the roller fixing screws can be installed. After the installation is completed, by adjusting the position of the lever adapted to the ratchet through the button of the bidirectional ratchet mechanism 5, the rotation direction of the ratchet is reversed. Then, after driving the ratchet to rotate reversely through the handle 4, the distance between the two force-bearing plates 1 is reduced and separated from the roller, realizing the removal of the expansion device after it is separated from the roller. The bidirectional ratchet mechanism 5 is an existing structure, the same as the bidirectional ratchet mechanism used in a ratchet wrench. Therefore, it will not be elaborated here.

[0024] Among them, the fixing structure of the mounting plate 2 and the force-bearing plate 1 is specifically as follows: On the premise that the middle part of the mounting plate 2 is fixed to the middle part of the outer wall of the force-bearing plate 1, connection columns 6 for fixedly connecting to the force-bearing plate 1 on the same side are provided on the outer side walls of the upper and lower ends of the mounting plate 2, ensuring reliable fixation of the mounting plate 2 while making the fixing heights at both ends of the mounting plate 2 consistent and ensuring that the mounting plate 2 is parallel and not inclined.

[0025] As Figure 3As shown, in order to quickly master the adjustment dimension of the distance between the two mounting plates 2, a scale 7 is fixedly arranged on the side wall of one of the mounting plates 2, and an indicating rod 8 fixed on the other mounting plate 2 points to the scale 7; specifically, the indicating rod 8 is an L-shaped rod structure with a horizontal rod length not greater than the minimum inner distance between the two mounting plates 2. The end of the horizontal rod of the indicating rod 8 is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the other mounting plate 2, and the end of the vertical rod of the indicating rod 8 points to the scale on the scale 7; when the two mounting plates 2 move outwards or inwards, the scale 7 and the indicating rod 8 move along with the two mounting plates 2 respectively, smoothly converting the change of the distance between the two mounting plates 2 into the change of the relative positions of the scale 7 and the indicating rod 8, and being reflected on the scale line of the scale 7, so as to quickly determine the change amount of the distance between the two mounting plates 2.

[0026] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention, the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting.
