Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chain structures, in particular to a D-type chain structure with a large contact surface. Background Art
[0002] As an important component widely used in mechanical transmission and conveying systems, the performance of the chain directly affects the efficiency and reliability of the entire system. Traditional chains have certain limitations in design and material selection, such as: Insufficient wear resistance: During long-term operation, the chain is prone to wear, especially under high load or high-speed conditions, the wear is more serious, affecting the service life of the chain; Noise problem: The noise generated by the chain during operation is relatively loud, which affects the operator's working environment and may also indicate excessive wear or impending failure; Poor structural stability: Under high load conditions, the chain may stretch or deform, affecting the accuracy and reliability of the transmission; Limited load-bearing capacity: The design of traditional chains may not fully consider the optimization of contact area and pressure distribution, resulting in limited load-bearing capacity of the chain under heavy load conditions.
[0003] A Chinese patent discloses a high wear-resistant carburized lifting chain (publication number: CN 209309225 U) includes a main ring chain and high-carbon steel bars, the bottom end of the inner ring of the main ring chain is movably connected to the secondary ring chain, the bottom end of the inner ring of the secondary ring chain is movably connected to the top end of the inner ring of another main ring chain, and a limit rod is fixedly installed in the middle of the left side of the secondary ring chain. The right end of the limit rod passes through the left side of the secondary ring chain and extends to the outside of the secondary ring chain and is fixedly connected to the limit buckle. The left end of the limit rod is fixedly connected to the right side of another limit buckle. However, this chain has insufficient wear resistance: during long-term operation, the chain is prone to wear, especially under high load or high-speed operation conditions, the wear is more serious, affecting the service life of the chain; the chain generates large noise during operation, which affects the operator's working environment, and may also indicate excessive wear or imminent failure; limited load-bearing capacity: the design of traditional chains may not fully consider the optimization of contact area and pressure distribution, resulting in problems such as limited load-bearing capacity of the chain under heavy load conditions. Therefore, a large contact surface D-type chain structure is required. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problems in the prior art, such as the insufficient wear resistance of the existing chain: during long-term operation, the chain is prone to wear, especially under high load or high-speed operation conditions, the wear is more serious, affecting the service life of the chain; the noise generated by the chain during operation is relatively large, which affects the operator's working environment and may also indicate excessive wear or imminent failure; limited carrying capacity: the design of traditional chains may not fully consider the optimization of contact area and pressure distribution, resulting in limited carrying capacity of the chain under heavy load conditions and other shortcomings, and a large contact surface D-type chain structure is proposed.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is: the utility model describes a large contact surface D-type chain structure, including a chain body, characterized in that: the chain body is composed of a plurality of chain links cross-connected in series, the chain link surface is provided with a wear-resistant coating, the chain link is composed of a straight shank segment and a circular arc segment, the straight shank segment cross-section is a D-shaped cross-section, the inner wall of the chain link is provided with a ring groove, and the ring groove is provided with a wear-resistant component. The D-shaped structure enhances the strength and stability of the chain, reduces the swing of the chain during operation, and improves the transmission efficiency. The wear-resistant component in the ring groove reduces the direct friction between the chain links and extends the service life of the chain.
[0006] Preferably, the wear-resistant assembly includes wear-resistant rings embedded in ring grooves and integrated with the chain links. Sound-absorbing porous aluminum strips are installed on both sides of the wear-resistant rings, fixed to the wear-resistant rings by an embedded method, and the porosity of the sound-absorbing porous aluminum strips is 40%-60%. The wear-resistant rings improve the wear resistance of the chain, while the sound-absorbing porous aluminum strips effectively reduce operating noise and enhance the comfort of the user environment. The integrated design ensures the stability of the assembly and reduces maintenance requirements.
[0007] Preferably, a reinforcement snap ring is provided on the straight shank section, which strengthens the overall structure of the chain, especially under high load conditions, reduces the elongation and deformation of the chain, thereby extending the service life and improving the reliability of the transmission.
[0008] Preferably, the arc segments of the chain links are composed of multiple concentric arcs. This design increases the contact area between the chain links, reduces the contact pressure, thereby reducing wear and improving the load-bearing capacity of the chain. At the same time, the concentric arc structure also contributes to the stability of the chain during operation.
[0009] Preferably, the chain links are made of high-strength alloy steel. High-strength alloy steel enables the chain to withstand higher workloads, has good impact resistance and fatigue resistance, is suitable for harsh working conditions, and extends the service life of the chain.
[0010] Preferably, the thickness of the wear-resistant ring strip slightly protrudes from the inner wall of the chain ring, and a buffer gap is provided between the wear-resistant ring strip and the sound-absorbing porous aluminum strip. This design can provide a certain elasticity during the operation of the chain, reduce vibration and noise, while maintaining the high strength and wear resistance of the chain, and improving the overall performance.
[0011] The utility model is beneficial in that:
[0012] The utility model provides annular grooves on the inner walls of the chain links and embeds wear-resistant components, such as wear-resistant rings, to significantly reduce chain wear during operation, thereby extending the service life of the chain. Sound-absorbing porous aluminum strips are installed on both sides of the wear-resistant rings. Their specific porosity design can effectively absorb the noise generated by the chain operation, providing a quieter working environment for the operator. A reinforcement clamp is added to the straight shank section to provide additional support for the chain, enhance the structural stability of the chain under high load conditions, and reduce the risk of failure due to elongation or deformation. The arc section of the chain link adopts a multiple concentric arc design, which increases the contact area with adjacent chain links and reduces the contact pressure, thereby reducing wear and improving the load-bearing capacity of the chain. The chain link is made of high-strength alloy steel, which enables the chain to adapt to more harsh working conditions, has good impact resistance and fatigue resistance, and is suitable for heavy-load and high-speed transmission systems. The design of the wear-resistant ring makes it slightly protrude from the inner wall of the chain link, and a buffer gap is provided between it and the sound-absorbing porous aluminum strip, which provides a certain degree of elasticity for chain operation and helps to reduce vibration and noise.

The integrated design ensures the stability of the component and reduces maintenance requirements.
[0024] In this embodiment, a reinforcing snap ring 2 is provided on the straight shank section 4, and the reinforcing snap ring 2 is fixed to the straight shank section 4 by welding or screwing. The reinforcing snap ring 2 strengthens the overall structure of the chain, especially under high load conditions, reduces the elongation and deformation of the chain, thereby extending the service life and improving the reliability of the transmission.
[0025] In this embodiment, the arc segments 5 of the chain links 3 are formed of multiple concentric arcs. This design increases the contact area between the chain links 3, reduces contact pressure, thereby reducing wear and improving the load-bearing capacity of the chain.
