Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-8 The detachable weighing chain conveyor shown includes:

[0030] The machine body assembly 100 includes a support frame 101, a chain guard plate 102 fixed to the top of the support frame 101, and conveyor sprockets 103 fixed to both ends of the chain guard plate 102. The top of the chain guard plate 102 is provided with a chain groove 104, and a conveyor chain 105 is connected between the two corresponding conveyor sprockets 103. The conveyor chain 105 is movably connected to the chain groove 104.

[0031] Weighing assembly 200 is located at the bottom of body assembly 100. Weighing assembly 200 includes mounting bracket 201, anti-sway bracket 202 and weighing sensor 203. Anti-sway bracket 202 is fixed to the ground and one side abuts against mounting bracket 201. Weighing sensor 203 is evenly fixed on both sides of the bottom of mounting bracket 201.

[0032] The drive assembly 300 includes a mounting box 301 fixed to the bottom of the chain guard plate 102. The mounting box 301 contains a motor 302 and a drive shaft 303. The motor 302 and the drive shaft 303 are connected by a drive chain 304. A drive sprocket 305 is keyed to the drive shaft 303. The drive sprocket 305 is connected to its corresponding conveyor chain 105.

[0033] For example, see Figure 1-Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a guide rail assembly 400, which is disposed at one end of the body assembly 100. The guide rail assembly 400 includes a support leg 401, an adjusting foot 402 disposed at the bottom of the support leg 401, and a guide rail 403 disposed at the top of the support leg 401. A front guardrail 404 is fixed to one end of the guide rail 403, and a front compression support 405 is fixed between the two front guardrails 404.

[0034] In this technical solution, the cross-section of the guide rail assembly 400 is a U-shaped structure. The guide rail assembly 400 is fixedly nested at one end of the body assembly 100. The guide rail 403 and the front guardrail 404 can guide the goods and prevent the goods from hitting the conveying components. The support legs 401 are also provided with support rods and leg cross braces, which can improve the structural stability of the support legs 401.

[0035] For example, see Figure 1-Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a cargo pallet 500, the bottom of which is provided with several support blocks 501, which are respectively arranged on the top of several conveyor chains 105, and the support blocks 501 are provided with openings 502.

[0036] In this technical solution, by setting a long strip-shaped support block 501 at the bottom of the cargo pallet 500, the structural strength of the cargo pallet 500 can be improved, preventing the cargo pallet 500 from bending and deforming due to the weight of the goods. By setting an opening 502 on the support block 501, the weight of the support block 501 itself can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the cargo pallet 500. This is conducive to achieving a lightweight design of the cargo pallet 500, and also makes it convenient to lift the cargo pallet 500 by a forklift.

[0037] For example, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting box 301 is a cuboid structure without a bottom cover. The mounting box 301 is equipped with a mounting plate 306 and a partition plate 307. The motor 302 is fixed on the mounting plate 306, and the partition plate 307 is set on both sides of the conveyor chain 105.

[0038] In this technical solution, the mounting box 301 adopts a cuboid structure without a bottom cover, which can prevent debris from falling into the mounting box 301 during the transportation of goods and thus affecting the normal operation of the drive component 300. It can also facilitate the dissipation of heat generated by the motor 302 during operation, preventing the motor 302 from being damaged due to overheating. By setting the partition plate 307, the interior of the mounting box 301 can be divided into different blocks. When installing and maintaining the components in one block, it can avoid affecting the components in other blocks.

[0039] For example, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, there are two drive shafts 303, and each of the two drive shafts 303 has a bearing seat 308 at its end. The two drive shafts 303 are connected by a coupling 309.

[0040] This technical solution ensures that the power output from the motor 302 is transmitted to each drive shaft 303, and also allows the length of the drive assembly 300 to be changed by setting multiple drive shafts 303, making it suitable for body assemblies 100 of different widths.

[0041] For example, see Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the two ends of the body assembly 100 are provided with arresting cables 106. The horizontal height of the arresting cables 106 is higher than the bottom height of the cargo pallet 500 and lower than the top height of the cargo pallet 500.

[0042] In this technical solution, the blocking cable 106 is able to block the cargo pallet 500, preventing the cargo pallet 500 from detaching from one end of the chain guard plate 102 during transportation, which helps to improve the safety of the equipment.

[0043] For example, see Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the support frame 101 is provided with an adjustable foot 107.

[0044] In this technical solution, the height of the support frame 101 can be finely adjusted by adjusting the support leg 107 to ensure that the height of multiple support frames 101 is the same.

[0045] Working principle: When using this detachable weighing chain conveyor, the goods are first placed on top of the goods pallet 500. At this time, the weight of the goods is transferred to the body assembly 100 through the goods pallet 500, and then to the weighing sensor 203 through the body assembly 100. By calculating the weight difference before and after placing the goods, the weight of the goods can be known. Then, the motor 302 is started. The motor 302 drives the drive shaft 303 to rotate through the drive chain 304. The drive shaft 303 drives the conveyor chain 105 to move through the drive sprocket 305, which in turn drives the goods pallet 500 to move, thus realizing the conveying of goods. When the weighing assembly 200 is damaged, the mounting bracket 201 can be directly removed from the bottom of the support frame 101. The body assembly 100 can still perform conveying operations after the mounting bracket 201 is removed. This detachable weighing chain conveyor features an advanced design, compact structure, and ease of use. By mounting the body component 100 on the weighing component 200, the weighing component 200 can be easily removed from the chain conveyor. Furthermore, the conveying function of the chain conveyor remains unrestricted after the weighing component 200 is removed, thereby increasing the equipment's applicability and reducing the impact of weighing failures.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
