Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of escalator chains, in particular to a heavy-load escalator pushing chain. Background Art

[0002] The push chain of an escalator is the traction component of the steps in the escalator, which is used to drive the steps to move and thus carry people and goods up and down. A heavy-load escalator is an escalator that can withstand a larger load. Generally speaking, escalators running in public transportation places with large passenger flow such as subways and airports are all heavy-load escalators.

[0003] The existing escalator push chains are mostly two common roller chains. The roller chains include inner link plates and outer link plates. The inner link plates and outer link plates are connected by connecting pins. Rollers are rotatably provided on the connecting pins. At the same time, a connecting rod is provided between the chains. The connecting rod is used to connect to the steps and to bear the weight of the load on the steps. The steps are provided with auxiliary wheels sliding in the escalator track. The escalator is lifted and lowered by the auxiliary wheels and the push chain.

[0004] In order to bear heavier loads, existing escalator push chains often adopt a more stable structure at the connection between the chain and the connecting rod. During use, the connection between the chain and the connecting rod will continue to wear and need to be replaced in time. However, in actual use, the chain itself also bears great pressure, and there is a possibility of breakage during long-term use, which poses certain safety risks. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to reduce safety risks, the present application provides a heavy-load escalator push chain.

[0006] The heavy-duty escalator push chain provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A heavy-load escalator push chain includes several connecting rods, several inner chain plates and several outer chain plates, the connecting rods are connected and arranged between two outer chain plates, the inner chain plates and the outer chain plates are arranged alternately, a connecting sleeve is provided between the inner chain plates, the connecting sleeve connects the two inner chain plates, a connecting pin is provided between the outer chain plates, the connecting pin connects the two outer chain plates, the connecting pin passes through the connecting sleeve, a first roller is rotatably provided on the connecting sleeve, a first connecting chain plate is provided between the inner chain plates, the first connecting chain plate connects the two inner chain plates at both ends of the connecting sleeve, a second connecting chain plate is provided between the outer chain plates, and the second connecting chain plate connects the two outer chain plates at both ends of the connecting pin.

Figures 1 to 3The chain chain comprises a plurality of inner link plates 1, a plurality of outer link plates 2, and a plurality of connecting rods 4. Two connecting sleeves 11 are fixedly disposed between the two inner link plates 1. Each inner link plate 1 has a sleeve hole 12 that communicates with the connecting sleeve 11. Two connecting pins 21 are rotatably disposed between the two outer link plates 2. The connecting pins 21 fit through the sleeve holes 12 and the connecting sleeve 11. The inner link plates 1 and the outer link plates 2 are arranged alternately and connected to each other in the first position to form chain loops 3. The connecting rod 4 is disposed between the two chain loops 3 and connected to the side walls of the outer link plates 2. A first roller 111 is rotatably mounted on the connecting sleeve 11. A first connecting link plate 13 is fixedly disposed between the two side-by-side inner link plates 1. The first connecting link plate 13 is disposed between the two connecting sleeves 11. First reinforcement blocks 131 are fixedly disposed on both sides of the first connecting link plate 13 and are fixedly connected to the outer side walls of the inner link plates 1. The first reinforcement blocks 131 are located between the two outer link plates 2 arranged in the same row. A second connecting link plate 22 is fixed between the two side-by-side outer link plates 2. The second connecting link plate 22 is positioned between two connecting pins 21. Second reinforcement blocks 223, fixedly connected to the outer walls of the outer link plates 2, are fixed on either side of the second connecting link plate 22. The second reinforcement blocks 223 are positioned between the two inner link plates 1 arranged in the same row. A locking pin 211 is inserted into the end of some connecting pins 21 facing away from the connecting rod 4 for easy removal. Roller grooves 221 are provided through each of the first and second connecting link plates 13, 22. Second rollers 222 are rotatably mounted within these grooves. In actual use, the height of the inner and outer link plates 1, 2 can be determined based on the length of the meshing gear segments to ensure that the first and second connecting link plates 13, 22 do not collide with the gear segments. The first and second connecting link plates 13, 22 increase the strength of the inner and outer link plates 1, 2, reducing the possibility of chain breakage during use and mitigating safety risks.

[0034] In order to improve the stability of the connection between the connecting rod 4 and the chain, refer to Figures 2 to 4 A fixing block 5 is rotatably mounted on the outer side wall of the outer link plate 2 near the connecting rod 4.
