Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chain assembly technology, specifically to a trough conveyor chain assembly structure. Background Technology

[0002] Trough conveyors are mainly used for conveying materials in coal mines, power plants, and other similar locations. The conveyor chain is a crucial component of the trough conveyor. The chain consists of inner chain plates, outer chain plates, pins, bushings, and rollers. The inner chain plates are fixed to the bushings with interference fits, and the outer chain plates are fixed to the pins with interference fits, forming the inner and outer chain links. The rollers are fitted to the bushings with clearance fits, and the bushings are fitted to the pins with clearance fits. When the inner and outer chain plates flex relative to each other, the bushings can rotate freely around the pins. The rollers are loosely fitted onto the bushings, and during operation, they roll along the sprocket tooth profile, reducing tooth wear.

[0003] Chinese patent CN218983060U discloses a chain assembly mold, including a mold base with guide seats on both sides. A sliding hole is provided between the guide seats and the mold base, and a guide support column is slidably connected in the sliding hole. The guide support column is provided with a first step and a second step. During assembly, the inner chain plate is first sleeved on the second step. Under the thrust of the elastic thrust device, the bottom of the limiting groove is limited by the limiting block, so that the guide support columns on both sides are at the same height, thereby allowing the inner chain plate to be placed horizontally. Then, the sleeve is sleeved on the first step, so that the sleeve and the sleeve mounting hole on the inner chain plate are vertically aligned. However, the above patent can only be applied to the assembly of one type of chain. Due to the different lengths of the connected inner chain plates, it cannot be used to assemble multiple types of chains, reducing the applicability of the device. Therefore, we propose a trough conveyor chain assembly structure. Utility Model Content

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting seat, and the input end of the servo motor is electrically connected to the output end of the external power supply.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. The trough conveyor chain assembly structure, through the setting of chutes, I-shaped blocks and adjustment mechanisms, uses the rotation of servo motors to drive the first turntable to rotate, thereby adjusting the spacing of the I-shaped blocks on the left and right sides, and then adjusting the position of the bosses, so as to facilitate adjustment according to the length of the inner chain plate, and to facilitate the assembly of chains of different models, thereby improving the applicability of the device.

[0019] 2. The chain assembly structure of this trough conveyor, through the start of the drive motor, drives the second turntable to rotate. When the extrusion rod contacts the L-shaped force bar, it drives the L-shaped force bar to move upward, causing the vertical rod to drive the striking block to move upward. When the extrusion rod separates from the L-shaped force bar, the striking block falls under its own gravity, striking the assembled chain. Thus, during assembly, manual striking is used, saving time and labor, and improving the practicality of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0028] This utility model provides a chain assembly structure for a trough conveyor, which facilitates adjustment based on the length of the inner chain plate, allows for the assembly of chains of different models, and improves the applicability of the device. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-4 Including the installation box 100;

[0029] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 The top center of the mounting box 100 is provided with a sliding groove 200, and I-shaped blocks 300 are symmetrically slidably connected inside the sliding groove 200. A boss 390 is fixedly connected to the top of the I-shaped blocks 300. An adjustment mechanism is provided inside the mounting box 100.

[0030] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 A support plate 400 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rear top of the mounting box 100. A through groove 480 is provided through the front of the top of the support plate 400. A hammering mechanism is provided on the top of the support plate 400.

[0031] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 The adjustment mechanism includes a slide bar 310, a slide plate 320, a connecting seat 330, an L-shaped connecting rod 340, a servo motor 350, a first turntable 360, a connecting shaft 370, and a connecting rod 380.

[0032] Please refer to it again. Figure 2A sliding rod 310 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the mounting box 100. A sliding plate 320 is symmetrically slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 310. A connecting seat 330 is fixedly connected to the middle of the opposite side of the left and right sliding plates 320. An L-shaped connecting rod 340 is fixedly connected to the top middle of the connecting seat 330.

[0033] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 A servo motor 350 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the inner cavity of the mounting box 100. A first turntable 360 ​​is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the servo motor 350. A connecting shaft 370 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top edge of the first turntable 360. A connecting rod 380 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 370.

[0034] In summary, by setting up the slide 200, the I-shaped block 300 and the adjustment mechanism, the rotation of the servo motor 350 drives the first turntable 360 ​​to rotate, thereby adjusting the spacing of the left and right I-shaped blocks 300, and then adjusting the position of the boss 390. This makes it easier to adjust according to the length of the inner chain plate, facilitates the assembly of chains of different models, and improves the applicability of the device.

[0035] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 The right end of the left L-shaped connecting rod 340 is fixedly connected to the middle left side of the left I-shaped block 300, and the right end of the right L-shaped connecting rod 340 is fixedly connected to the middle right side of the right I-shaped block 300.

[0036] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 The other end of the connecting rod 380 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting seat 330, and the input end of the servo motor 350 is electrically connected to the output end of the external power supply.

[0037] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 The striking mechanism includes a support base 410, a drive motor 420, a second turntable 430, a pressing rod 440, a vertical rod 450, an L-shaped force-bearing rod 460, and a striking block 470. The support base 410 is fixedly connected to the top left rear part of the support plate 400. The drive motor 420 is fixedly connected to the top of the support base 410. The second turntable 430 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the drive motor 420. The pressing rod 440 is fixedly connected to the right side of the second turntable 430. The vertical rod 450 is slidably connected inside the through groove 480. The L-shaped force-bearing rod 460 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the vertical rod 450. The striking block 470 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical rod 450.

[0038] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 The outer wall of the vertical rod 450 fits against the inner wall of the through groove 480, and the input end of the drive motor 420 is electrically connected to the output end of the external power supply.

[0039] In summary, by starting the drive motor 420, the second turntable 430 is driven to rotate. When the pressing rod 440 contacts the L-shaped force rod 460, the L-shaped force rod 460 is moved upward, causing the vertical rod 450 to move the striking block 470 upward. When the pressing rod 440 separates from the L-shaped force rod 460, the striking block 470 falls due to its own gravity, striking the assembled chain. Thus, during assembly, manual striking is used, saving time and effort and improving the practicality of the device.

[0040] In practical use, those skilled in the art first start the drive motor 420, which rotates the second turntable 430, causing the extrusion rod 440 to deflect. This causes the extrusion rod 440 to lift the L-shaped force bar 460, thus lifting the striking block 470. Then, the drive motor 420 is turned off, and the servo motor 350 is started, which rotates the first turntable 360, causing the connecting rod 380 to deflect. This causes the connecting seats 330 to move closer or further apart, and the sliding plates 320 to move closer or further apart, thereby lifting the L-shaped force bar 470. The connecting rods 340 move closer or further apart, the spacing of the bosses 390 is adjusted, the servo motor 350 is turned off, the inner chain plate and the sleeve are placed on the bosses 390, the drive motor 420 is started again, driving the second turntable 430 to rotate, and the striking block 470 continues to rise. When the pressing rod 440 separates from the L-shaped force rod 460, the striking block 470 falls. When the pressing rod 440 gradually deflects to the top, it will drive the striking block 470 to rise again, thereby reciprocatingly striking the sleeve and assembling it with the inner chain plate.
