[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the second outer chain plate and the second inner chain plate are the same shape and size as the first outer chain plate and the first inner chain plate.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the upper part of the scraper bucket is trapezoidal in shape, and the top plate of the scraper bucket is coplanar with the upper straight edge of the first inner chain plate.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the lower part of the scraper is shaped like an inverted triangle.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the scraper bucket inlet is opened in the direction of chain movement.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the head of the pin is located on the side close to the first outer chain plate.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, a washer is provided between the first inner chain plate and the adjusting nut.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] By fixing the scraper bucket to the chain, and utilizing the chain's flexibility and adaptability, the scraper bucket can be laid out and designed along with the chain according to production needs, and can be used to convey and lift bulk materials. Simultaneously, the lower part of the scraper bucket is designed as a triangle; the sharp edges at the bottom of the scraper bucket can scrape off and convey materials adhering to the inner wall of the device.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. The directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as up, down, left, right, front, or back, are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the present utility model. Furthermore, in all embodiments, the same reference numerals denote the same elements.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2The illustrated type of ball chain with scraper hopper includes several sets of scraper chain groups 1 and connecting chain groups 2, which are arranged in an alternating manner.

[0022] The scraper chain assembly 1 includes a first outer chain plate 101 and a first inner chain plate 100. Each scraper chain assembly 1 includes two first outer chain plates 101 and two first inner chain plates 100. Both the first outer chain plate 101 and the first inner chain plate 100 are plate-shaped with straight grooves, and the first outer chain plate 101 and the first inner chain plate 100 are the same size.

[0023] A scraper bucket 3 is provided between the two first inner chain plates 100, with both ends of the scraper bucket 3 fixedly connected to the middle of the first inner chain plate 100. The upper part of the scraper bucket 3 is trapezoidal, and the top plate 300 of the scraper bucket 3 is coplanar with the upper straight edge of the first inner chain plate 100. The lower part of the scraper bucket 3 is inverted triangular, and a scraper bucket inlet 301 is provided on one side of the scraper bucket 3, with the scraper bucket inlet 301 facing the direction of chain movement.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first outer link plate 101 is disposed outside the first inner link plate 100. Both ends of the first outer link plate 101 and the first inner link plate 100 have shaft holes that match each other. The first outer link plate 101 and the first inner link plate 100 are connected by a pin 4. The head of the pin 4 is located near the first outer link plate 101, and the tail of the pin 4 passes through the first outer link plate 101 and the first inner link plate 100 in sequence, and is fitted with an adjusting nut 7. A washer 6 is provided between the first inner link plate 100 and the adjusting nut 7. A rotatable sleeve 8 is fitted on the pin 4, and a ball bearing 5 is fixed to the sleeve 8 by an interference fit. The ball bearing 5 is located between the first outer link plate 101 and the first inner link plate 100.

[0025] The connecting chain group 2 includes a second outer chain plate 201 and a second inner chain plate 200. Each connecting chain group 2 includes two second outer chain plates 201 and two second inner chain plates 200.
