[0002] Chain conveyors use chains as traction and carriers to transport materials. The chains can be ordinary sleeve roller conveyor chains or various other special chains. On the existing painting production line, engines are transported between processes using accumulation chains.

[0003] For example, announcement number CN209997888U discloses a power-release chain, comprising a support rail, a drive chain, and multiple groups of unit conveying assemblies supported by the support rails. Each group of unit conveying assemblies is provided with a locking device that can be locked on the drive chain in a locked state, and is provided with an unlocking head for pushing open the locking device of the previous group of unit conveying assemblies when the spacing is not greater than a predetermined distance. The chain also includes a spare head, a pushing device, and an unlocking driving device for driving the spare head in and out of an unlocking path. The pushing device can drive the spare head after entering the unlocking path to move in the opposite direction along the drive chain, push the locking device to unlock, and continue to drive the spare head to drive the unit conveying assemblies to move in the opposite direction along the drive chain. This power-release chain can effectively solve the problem of inconvenience in stopping and repairing during the conveying process of the conveyed parts.

[0004] However, although this type of accumulation chain that can adjust the tension automatically can be used for daily use, it is not convenient to adjust the tension at different positions of the accumulation chain after long-term use, which makes it difficult to transport different objects too fast or too slow, affecting the stability of object transportation.

[0005] Therefore, in view of this, the shortcomings of the existing structure are studied and improved, and a power chain with self-adjustable tension is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a power-release chain that can adjust tension autonomously, so as to solve the problem in the above background technology that the tension adjustment at different positions of the power-release chain is not convenient.

[0007] The transmission mechanism is formed on a pair of rotating shafts, wherein the rotating shaft is formed on a pair of rotating shafts, and the rotating shaft is formed on a pair of rotating shafts, and the rotating shaft is formed on a pair of rotating shafts.

[0008] Furthermore, the threaded slider forms a sliding structure between the threaded rod and the fixed groove, and two groups of the fixed grooves are provided. The positions of the two groups of the fixed grooves are symmetrical with respect to the central axis of the threaded slider.

[0009] Furthermore, the regulating wheel is arranged on the rotation track of the conveying chain body.

[0010] Furthermore, the adjustment frame forms a telescopic structure between the swing rod, the limiting groove and the slide groove, and the slide groove is provided with two groups, and the position distribution of the two groups of slide grooves is symmetrical about the central axis of the adjustment frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall profile of the adjusting frame is in a "mouth" shape, and the outer wall profile of the threaded slider is in a "U" shape.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] The utility model is provided with a threaded slider and an adjusting frame. When the accumulation chain is used in daily life, in order to improve the convenience of adjusting the tension of different conveying positions of the accumulation chain, the first servo motor can be turned on to rotate the threaded rod to drive the threaded slider to slide along the inner wall of the fixed groove according to the needs of the specific tension adjustment position, thereby driving the adjusting wheel to adjust the tension at different positions of the accumulation chain. According to the needs of the tension adjustment force, the second servo motor can be turned on to rotate the swing rod to drive the adjusting frame to slide synchronously along the inner walls of the limit groove and the slide groove, and drive the adjusting wheel to perform convenient adjustment movement on the accumulation chain conveying tension, thereby achieving the effect of conveniently adjusting the tension of different conveying positions of the accumulation chain.
