[0029] Working principle: When it is necessary to replace a certain first link 1 in the conveyor chain, press the positioning blocks 6 on both sides of the connecting rod 3 in the direction of spring 5 compression, and pull the end of the connecting rod 3 with the positioning block 6 outwards, then the connection between the end of the connecting rod 3 with the positioning block 6 and the first link 1 can be disconnected, and thus the first link 1 can be removed from the chain. When replacing a new first link 1, repeat the above operation to disconnect the connection between the new first link 1 and the connecting rod 3, and connect the two ends of the first link 1 to the two second links 9 respectively. Press the positioning block 6 in the direction of spring 5 compression, and insert this end of the connecting rod 3 into the installation groove 2, align the positioning block 6 with the positioning hole 8. Under the elastic force of the spring 5, the positioning block 6 is correspondingly connected to the positioning hole 8, completing the replacement of the first link 1. When it is necessary to replace the baffle, disconnect the connection between the fixing bolt 17 and the fixing nut 18, then the first baffle 12 and the second baffle 15 can be removed. Replace the new first baffle 12 and the second baffle 15, align the interface 10 on the second link 9 with the first baffle 12 and the second baffle 15, and connect the clamping block 13 of the first baffle 12 to the clamping groove 16 of the second baffle 15 correspondingly. Insert the fixing bolt 17 into the fixing holes 14 at the top of the first baffle 12 and the second baffle 15, and reconnect it with the fixing nut 18, thus completing the replacement of the baffle.
