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

[0002] In the fields of industrial automation and logistics transportation, chain conveyors, as efficient and stable material handling equipment, are widely used in various production lines and logistics systems. However, traditional chain conveyors often suffer from problems such as complex structure, high maintenance costs, and low conveying efficiency during design and use. Particularly in terms of chain tension adjustment and power transmission, traditional designs often struggle to achieve precise control and efficient transmission, thus affecting the overall performance and stability of the conveyor. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a chain conveyor that solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a chain conveyor, comprising an equipment support, a motor mounting base, a drive device, rollers, a conveyor chain, a conveyor transmission sprocket, and a tension adjustment seat. The rollers are divided into two groups, with three rollers in each group respectively installed at both ends and the middle of the equipment support. The conveyor chain is sleeved on the outside of each group of rollers. The drive device drives the conveyor chain to rotate through the conveyor transmission sprocket. The tension adjustment seat is used to adjust the tension of the conveyor chain.

[0005] Furthermore, the motor mounting base is provided with an adjustment slot, and the tension adjustment seat can move within the adjustment slot and be fixed by fastening bolts to achieve tension adjustment of the conveyor chain.

[0006] Furthermore, the driving device includes a transmission shaft, a drive motor, a reducer, a drive sprocket, a driven sprocket, and a transmission chain. The power of the drive motor is transmitted to the drive sprocket via the reducer, and then to the driven sprocket via the transmission chain. The driven sprocket drives the transmission shaft to rotate, and conveyor transmission sprockets are installed at both ends of the transmission shaft.

[0007] Furthermore, the equipment bracket is provided with a support rail, which is located on the rotation path of the conveyor chain to provide support for the conveyor chain.

[0008] Furthermore, the number of rollers is at least six, and they are evenly divided into at least two groups, with at least three rollers in each group located at both ends and the middle of the equipment support respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the number of conveyor chains is no less than two, and each conveyor chain is matched with a set of rollers and a conveyor drive sprocket.

[0010] This utility model provides a chain conveyor. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0011] 1. This chain conveyor achieves structural optimization through the rational layout of components such as the equipment support, motor mounting base, drive unit, rollers, and conveyor chain. This optimization not only reduces the complexity and maintenance costs of the equipment but also improves conveying efficiency and stability.

[0012] 2. The motor mounting base is equipped with an adjustment slot and a tension adjustment seat, making the tension adjustment of the conveyor chain very convenient. Users can easily achieve precise control of the conveyor chain tension by adjusting the position of the tension adjustment seat within the adjustment slot according to actual needs;

[0013] 3. The drive unit consists of a transmission shaft, drive motor, reducer, drive sprocket, driven sprocket, and transmission chain, achieving efficient power transmission. The drive motor's speed is reduced by the reducer and then transmitted to the driven sprocket via the transmission chain. The transmission shaft then drives the conveyor sprocket, thereby driving the conveyor chain to transport materials. This design significantly improves the efficiency of power transmission.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a chain conveyor, comprising an equipment support 1, a motor mounting base 2, a drive device 3, six rollers 5, two conveyor chains 6, two conveyor transmission sprockets 7, and two tension adjustment seats 8. The six rollers 5 are divided into two groups of three, with each group consisting of three rollers. The three rollers 5 are respectively installed at both ends and the middle of the equipment support 1. The two conveyor chains 6 are correspondingly fitted around the outside of the three rollers 5 in each group. The motor mounting base 2 is installed on the equipment support 1, and the drive device 3 is installed inside the motor mounting base 2. The drive device 3 has two drive ends, and the two conveyor transmission sprockets 7 are installed on the corresponding drive ends, meshing with the two conveyor chains 6. The two tension adjustment seats 8 are installed inside the motor mounting base 2, and the conveyor chains 6 abut against the tension adjustment seats 8.

[0021] The motor mounting base 2 has adjustment slots 21 on both sides of its top. The tension adjustment seat 8 can move inside the adjustment slots 21 and is fixed by fastening bolts 22, thereby achieving the purpose of tensioning the conveyor chain 6.

[0022] In addition, the drive device 3 is composed of a transmission shaft 31, a drive motor 32, a reducer 33, a drive sprocket 34, a driven sprocket 35, and a transmission chain 36. The transmission shaft 31 is rotatably connected inside the motor mounting base 2. The drive motor 32 and the reducer 33 are both installed inside the motor mounting base 2. The drive end of the drive motor 32 is connected to the power input end of the reducer 33. The drive sprocket 34 is installed at the power output end of the reducer 33. The driven sprocket 35 is installed outside the transmission shaft 31. The drive sprocket 34 and the driven sprocket 35 are connected by the transmission chain 36. Two conveying transmission sprockets 7 are installed at the two ends of the transmission shaft 31 respectively.

[0023] When the chain conveyor is in operation, the speed of the drive motor 32 is reduced by the reducer 33 and the power is transmitted to the drive sprocket 34, then to the driven sprocket 35 via the transmission chain 36, and then to the two conveyor transmission sprockets 7 via the transmission shaft 31. Since the conveyor transmission sprockets 7 mesh with the conveyor chain 6, when the conveyor transmission sprockets 7 rotate, the conveyor chain 6 can rotate along with them under the action of several rollers 5. In order to prevent the upper part of the conveyor chain 6 from collapsing when transporting goods, a support rail 11 is installed on the upper part of the equipment support 1, that is, on the rotation path of the conveyor chain 6, to provide strong support for the conveyor chain 6.
