AI Technical Summary
The existing vertical link rings are offset in the direction of force during the chain operation, resulting in uneven force division of the upper and lower half rings, which is prone to loosening problems. At the same time, noise and friction losses are prone to occur during use, and voids and dust accumulation are prone to occur at the joints, reducing the stability of the fitting.
A flat chain vertical link link is designed, and the curved surface design is bent to the right on the left and right butt surfaces of the upper buckle and the lower buckle, so that the two are subjected to more uniform force after the buckle is completed, and the tension at all angles of the chain is used for limit barriers. At the same time, the rubber pads are fitted on the butt surfaces of the two buckle rings for flexible butt, reducing noise and friction losses, and maintaining the extruded sealing state at the buckle joint through the elasticity of the buckle joint.
The two buckle rings are more uniform after being buckled, adapting to the tension of each angle of the chain, reducing noise and friction losses during use, and ensuring that the buckle joints are always sealed, avoiding the accumulation of gaps and dust, and improving the stability of buckle.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vertical chain connectors, in particular to a flat chain vertical chain connector. Background Technique
[0002] The chain connector is an important part of the chain traction equipment, mainly used in transportation equipment such as coal mine scraper conveyors, transfer machines, and coal planers. There are currently five types of chain connectors: flat chain connectors, vertical chain connectors, arc-tooth chain connectors, serrated chain connectors, and open-chain connectors. Among them, the full name of the vertical ring chain connector is a mine vertical chain connector, and the raw material is made of high-quality alloy steel. It is a new type of lock-type chain connector, which is mostly divided into upper and lower half rings, and is assembled into a complete chain connector by horizontal sliding and fitting. Then, a locking pin is used for sliding limit, and the chain is buckled inside it to complete the connection function. During the operation of the chain, the force direction has a certain deviation, and the corresponding chain connector will face the tensile force within a certain angle range. This will cause the upper and lower half rings to have vertical component forces, making the mating surfaces of the upper and lower half rings unevenly stressed, and prone to problems of upper and lower loosening. In addition, during the use of the chain connector, its mating surface is prone to slight collision and friction, resulting in noise and friction loss, and gaps appear at the joint under the action of the chain pulling and rebounding, and dust accumulates, resulting in dirt at the joint between the two rings and reducing the stability of its buckling. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a flat chain vertical chain connector, so that the force is more uniform after the two are buckled, it can adapt to the tensile force of the chain at various angles for limit blocking, and reduce the noise and friction loss generated by slight collision and friction on the mating surface during its use, and ensure that the buckling joint is always in a state of extrusion seal.
[0004] The cam is secured to the upper and lower ends of the chain, and the cam is secured to the lower ends of the chain by a spring, which is then engaged with the bosses. The rubber pad is fixedly connected to the lower buckle ring, and the top surface of the second rubber pad is squeezed and fitted with the upper buckle ring. The upper and lower opposite sides of the first and second slots are both designed with an arc-shaped curved surface to the right. By designing a curved surface that bends to the right on the left and right docking surfaces of the upper and lower buckle rings, the two can be more evenly stressed after the buckling is completed, and can adapt to the tension of the chain at various angles for limited blocking. At the same time, rubber pads are fitted on the entire docking surfaces of the two buckles for flexible docking, thereby reducing the noise and friction loss caused by slight collision and friction on the docking surfaces during use. In addition, the rubber pad has resilience, which can ensure that the buckled joint is always in an extruded and sealed state, avoiding gaps at the joints and dust accumulation under the action of chain pulling and rebound, resulting in contamination at the docking point between the two buckles and reducing the stability of the buckling.
[0005] According to the flat chain vertical link, the front and rear ends of the threaded limit rod extend out of the outer ring sleeve and are symmetrically sleeved with positioning screw rings, which are threadedly connected to the threaded limit rod and have opposite sides pressed and fitted with the outer ring sleeve. The two ends of the threaded limit rod are double-threadedly connected and positioned, so that it can be permanently fixed in the two ring sleeves.
[0006] According to the flat chain vertical link, the adjacent sides of the inner ring sleeve and the outer ring sleeve are both covered with a layer of lubricating film, and the contact surfaces of the lubricating film slide left and right to reduce the friction loss when the two are in contact.
[0007] According to the flat chain vertical link, a positioning card is symmetrically arranged on the side opposite to the upper buckle ring of the lower buckle ring, and the opposite side of the positioning card is fixedly connected to the upper buckle ring and the lower buckle ring respectively, and the opposite side of the positioning card extends into the inner wall of the lower buckle ring and the upper buckle ring and slides with the two to ensure the relative stability of the upper and lower positions after buckling.
[0008] According to the described flat chain vertical connecting link, on the left side at the top of the first card slot and symmetrically above and below on the right side at the bottom of the second card slot, there are spring cylinders installed. The spring cylinders are correspondingly fitted and fixed in the inner walls of the upper snap ring and the lower snap ring and fixedly connected to both. At the centers of the opposite sides of the spring cylinders up and down, there are elastic connecting heads. The connecting heads are elastically slidably connected up and down inside the springs correspondingly. The opposite sides of the connecting heads up and down extend into the inner walls of the lower snap ring and the upper snap ring correspondingly and are engaged and fitted with them up and down. After being buckled in place, it automatically rebounds and is position-limited and engaged to prevent the two snap rings from retreating.
[0009] According to the described flat chain vertical connecting link, at the centers of the front and rear sides of the lower snap ring and the upper snap ring, there are fixed connecting plates. The opposite sides of the connecting plates in the front and rear directions are subjected to frosted treatment. It is convenient for the operator to hold the upper and lower snap rings and slide and buckle them in the left and right directions to prevent slipping.
[0010] According to the described flat chain vertical connecting link, protective shell sleeves are sleeved on the outer sides of the lower snap ring and the upper snap ring. The opposite sides of the protective shell sleeves in the up and down directions are in close contact. It isolates and closes the outside of the snap ring and provides friction protection.
[0011] According to the described flat chain vertical connecting link, the left side at the bottom of the lower support and the right side at the top of the upper support extend relatively and reversely to form an arc shape. It improves the connection stability between the support and the snap ring while not affecting the placement of the chain.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. In the present utility model, through the curved surface design that bends to the right on the left and right docking surfaces of the upper snap ring and the lower snap ring, the force is more evenly distributed after the two are buckled, and it can adapt to the tensile force at various angles of the chain for position-limiting and blocking.
[0014] 2. On the entire docking surface of the two snap rings, a rubber pad is adhesively provided for flexible docking, thereby reducing the noise and frictional loss generated by slight collision and friction on the docking surface during its use. In addition, the rubber pad has resilience, which can ensure that the buckling joint is always in a state of extrusion and sealing, preventing gaps from appearing at the joint under the action of the chain pulling and rebounding and dust accumulating, resulting in dirt on the docking part between the two snap rings and reducing the buckling stability.
