[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0025] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a conveyor chain for hanging conveying in slaughterhouses includes a support rail 1, a conveyor chain is arranged inside the support rail 1, and the conveyor chain is composed of several groups of rolling components, and connecting components are arranged between the rolling components.

[0026] The rolling assembly includes a rotating shaft 201, and the front and rear ends of the rotating shaft 201 are rotatably connected to wheels 202, and the wheels 202 roll in the support rail 1. The rotating shaft 201 is fixedly connected to a first connecting block 203 and a second connecting block 204, and the first connecting block 203 and the second connecting block 204 are respectively located on both sides of the rotating shaft 201.

[0027] The connecting assembly includes two horizontal plates 205 arranged upper and lower, and two hinge shafts 206 are fixedly connected between the two horizontal plates 205. The first connecting block 203 and the second connecting block 204 are rotatably connected to the hinge shafts 206 respectively, so that the direction of the rolling assembly can be adjusted as needed to improve practicality.

[0028] A slide rail 4 is provided below the support rail 1, and a hook assembly is provided on the slide rail 4. The hook assembly includes a support ring 5 slidably connected to the slide rail 4, and a hook 501 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support ring 5. Livestock are hung on the hook 501 for transportation. Rollers are provided on the inner wall of the support ring 5. The support ring 5 and the slide rail 4 are in contact through the rollers to reduce friction.

[0029] Multiple groups of pushing mechanisms are arranged below the rolling assembly, and two adjacent groups of pushing mechanisms are symmetrically arranged. The pushing mechanisms include a mounting plate 301, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second connecting block 204, and a connecting rod 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 301. The bottom of the connecting rod 302 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 303, and a push plate 304 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 303. The side of the push plate 304 is an inclined surface, so that when the push plate 304 drives the roller to move on the slope, it can provide an upward component force for the roller, thereby reducing the friction of the roller on the slide rail 4.

[0030] A limiting assembly is provided in the push plate 304, and the limiting assembly is used to limit the rotation angle of the push plate 304. The limiting assembly includes a limiting pin 305 inserted between the inner walls of the push plate 304, and a limiting plate 306 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 302. The limiting plate 306 is located in the push plate 304, and the limiting pin 305 is located between the mounting plate 301 and the limiting plate 306. The movement of the limiting pin 305 is limited by the mounting plate 301 and the limiting plate 306, thereby indirectly limiting the rotation angle of the push plate 304.

[0031] Working principle: When in use, the support ring 5 on the slide rail 4 first squeezes one of the push plates 304. After being squeezed, the push plate 304 rotates around the rotating shaft 303, so that the support ring 5 smoothly enters between the two push plates 304. Driven by the conveyor chain, the push plate 304 pushes the support ring 5 and the livestock hanging on the hook 501 to move. When encountering the inclined rising section of the slide rail 4, the inclined surface of the push plate 304 provides an upward lifting force for the roller on the inner wall of the support ring 5, reducing the pressure of the support ring 5 on the slide rail 4, reducing the wear of the slide rail 4, and increasing the service life of the slide rail 4.

[0032] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and improvements are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
