In the utility model, mud discharge grooves are arranged on the pins. Once dust, dirt and other sundries adhere to the chain, after these sundries enter between the sleeves and pins inside the chain, they can be gradually discharged through the mud discharge grooves on the pins, effectively avoiding the jamming between the sleeves and pins and the blockage between the sleeves and the inner link plates on both sides, greatly reducing the friction between the sleeves and pins, and also greatly reducing the friction between the sleeves and the inner link plates on both sides, improving the service life of the sprocket; at the same time, lubricating oil can be injected into the mud discharge grooves to better lubricate between the sleeves and pins and between the sleeves and the inner link plates on both sides, making the whole chain run more flexibly and the transmission efficiency lower";
