DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The utility model is a conveyor chain that can store lubricating grease, including a pin shaft 1, two outer link plates 2 are provided on the pin shaft 1, a sleeve 3 located between the two outer link plates 2 is sleeved on the pin shaft 1, two inner link plates 4 are provided on the sleeve 3, and a roller 5 located between the two inner link plates 4 is sleeved on the sleeve 3. It is characterized in that: a plurality of step grooves 11 are provided on the circumference of the pin shaft 1, an oil injection channel 12 is provided in the pin shaft 1, an oil injection nozzle 13 is provided at the input end of the oil injection channel 12, a plurality of branch oil channels 14 are provided in the pin shaft 1, and the step grooves 11 are connected to the oil injection channel 12 through corresponding branch oil channels 14.

[0020] A groove 15 is provided at the upper end of the pin shaft 1 , and the input end of the oil injection channel 12 passes through the bottom of the groove 15 .

[0021] The groove 15 is in a truncated cone shape.

[0022] Both ends of the sleeve 3 and the pin shaft 1 are sealed by a labyrinth seal 6 . The labyrinth seal 6 is provided with a cavity 7 . A sealing ring 8 is provided in the cavity 7 . Lubricating oil is stored in the cavity 7 in the sealing ring 8 .

[0023] The cavity 7 in the sealing ring 8 is provided with an oil storage sponge 9.

[0024] The labyrinth seal 6 is composed of an inner cover 61 and an outer cover 62 that fit together and snap together. The edges of the inner cover 61 and the outer cover 62 are respectively provided with a retaining ring I63 and a retaining ring II64. The retaining ring I63 is located inside the retaining ring II64. The retaining ring I63 and the retaining ring II64 constitute a labyrinth seal, and the space between the inner cover 61 and the outer cover 62 constitutes a cavity 7.

[0025] The inner cover 61 is provided on the sleeve 3 and is in contact with the outer side surface of the corresponding inner link plate 4 , and the outer cover 62 is provided on the pin shaft 1 and is in contact with the inner side surface of the corresponding outer link plate 2 .

[0026] Both ends of the sleeve 3 are provided with a plurality of oil inlets 10 located in the cavity 7 .

[0027] Working process of this utility model:

[0028] During operation of the conveyor chain capable of storing lubricating grease, the lubricating oil enters the oil filling channel 12 through the oil filling nozzle 13 and then enters the corresponding step groove 11 through the diverter oil channel 14, which is convenient for regular maintenance.

[0029] The step groove 11 can be used to store lubricating grease. When the chain stops running, the lubricating grease can maintain its original shape and will not automatically lose due to gravity, nor will it slide on a vertical surface or drip out from the gap.

[0030] The inner cover 61 and the outer cover 62 cooperate with each other to form a large cavity and a labyrinth sealing structure to prevent hard particles or dust in the elevator from entering the gap between the sleeve 3 and the pin 1. The elastic sealing ring 8 is installed on the outside of the labyrinth sealed cavity 7, which can not only prevent hard particles or dust from entering again, but also prevent the lubricating oil in the cavity 7 from flowing out. The oil storage sponge is installed in the sealing ring 8 to store grease. Four oil inlets 10 are opened at both ends of the sleeve 3 to facilitate the lubricating grease to flow into the gap between the sleeve 3 and the pin 1, thereby ensuring the sealing of the chain, preventing the lubricating oil from flowing out, and further increasing the capacity of the lubricating oil, thereby extending the maintenance time interval.

[0031] The oiling nozzle 13 is arranged in the groove 15 to prevent the oiling nozzle 13 from being scraped off and protect the oiling nozzle. The groove 15 is in a truncated cone shape to prevent materials from accumulating here.

[0032] The above embodiments are intended to illustrate the present invention, not to limit the present invention. Any solution that is a simple transformation of the present invention falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.
