Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chain conveyor technology, and more specifically, to a horizontally adjustable chain conveyor. Background Technology
[0002] A chain conveyor is a device that transports materials through load-bearing components fixed to a chain. It features simple structure and easy installation, and is an important piece of equipment in industrial automation, widely used in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, beverages, cosmetics, and detergents. However, the tilt angle of a chain conveyor cannot be adjusted during use, making it unsuitable for various application requirements.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN218878506U discloses a chain conveyor that uses two electric hydraulic rods to simultaneously push two sliders to move back and forth along two slide rails, thereby adjusting the height of one of the mounting bases and thus adjusting the tilt angle of the chain conveyor to adapt to different usage requirements.
[0004] When the above-mentioned chain conveyor is in use, the material is placed on the conveyor bar and conveyed by the conveyor bar. However, during the conveying process, the material is prone to sliding on the conveyor bar, which can lead to uneven stress distribution, increase the risk of failure, and make it inconvenient to adjust the material level, resulting in poor performance. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a horizontally adjustable chain conveyor, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a horizontally adjustable chain conveyor, comprising a mounting plate and a chain conveyor body, wherein the chain conveyor body is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate, and a U-shaped plate is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate and on the outside of the chain conveyor body. The U-shaped plate is provided with an adjustment assembly, which includes a motor, a positive and negative lead screw, two limit frames, and two sliders. The motor is fixedly mounted on the front side of the U-shaped plate, and the end of the motor's output shaft is fixedly connected to the positive and negative lead screw. The rear end of the positive and negative lead screw is movably connected to the U-shaped plate through a bearing. Both limit frames are threadedly connected to the positive and negative lead screw. The bottom ends of the two sliders are respectively fixedly connected to the two limit frames, and the top ends of both sliders extend into the U-shaped plate.
[0007] Furthermore, two pads are movably provided on the top of the chain conveyor body, and the opposite sides of the two pads are respectively fixedly connected to two limit frames.
[0008] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the two gaskets can improve the stability between the material and the two limiting frames.
[0009] Furthermore, a frame is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate, and a guide assembly is provided on the frame. The guide assembly includes a self-locking motor, a rotating shaft, and a guide plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the self-locking motor is fixedly installed on the front side of the frame, and the output shaft end of the self-locking motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The rear end of the rotating shaft is movably connected to the frame through a bearing, and the guide plate is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft.
[0011] Furthermore, a gear is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft and located behind the guide plate, and a locking block is movably disposed on the top of the gear, and the locking block is movably connected to the frame through a hinge.
[0012] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the gear and the locking block work together to further limit the self-locking motor.
[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the mounting plate is provided with a lifting assembly, which includes a base plate, a hydraulic cylinder and four telescopic rods.
[0014] Furthermore, the top and bottom ends of the hydraulic cylinder and the four telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the mounting plate and the base plate, respectively, and the four telescopic rods are located at the bottom of the mounting plate near the four corner edges.
[0015] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the hydraulic cylinder is activated, and the piston rod on the hydraulic cylinder extends, causing the mounting plate and the main body of the chain conveyor to move upward. At the same time, the four telescopic rods follow the hydraulic cylinder and move vertically, adjusting the distance between the main body of the chain conveyor and the ground as needed, making it widely applicable.
[0016] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. This utility model uses a chain conveyor to transport materials. When the motor is started, it drives the positive and negative lead screws to rotate. The positive and negative lead screws can drive two limit frames to move in opposite directions. The two limit frames squeeze and gather the materials, and adjust the horizontal position of the materials so that the materials are evenly distributed in the center of the chain conveyor body. The operation is simple, effectively extends the service life of the chain conveyor body, and has good performance.
[0018] 2. This utility model uses a self-locking motor to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the guide plate to rotate. The tilt angle of the guide plate can be adjusted according to the needs. The material on the main body of the chain conveyor falls onto the guide plate, and the guide plate guides the material. The structure is simple and easy to use. Attached Figure Description

A U-shaped plate 3 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 1 and on the outside of the chain conveyor body 2. An adjustment assembly 4 is provided on the U-shaped plate 3. The adjustment assembly 4 includes a motor 401, a forward and reverse lead screw 402, two limit frames 403, and two sliders 404. The motor 401 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the U-shaped plate 3, and the motor 401... The output shaft end is fixedly connected to the positive and negative lead screw 402. The rear end of the positive and negative lead screw 402 is movably connected to the U-shaped plate 3 through a bearing. Both limit frames 403 are threadedly connected to the positive and negative lead screw 402. The bottom ends of the two sliders 404 are fixedly connected to the two limit frames 403 respectively, and the top ends of the two sliders 404 extend into the U-shaped plate 3. Two gaskets 405 are movably provided on the top of the chain conveyor body 2, and the opposite sides of the two gaskets 405 are fixedly connected to the two limit frames 403 respectively.
[0029] Furthermore, a frame 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 1. A guide assembly 6 is provided on the frame 5. The guide assembly 6 includes a self-locking motor 601, a rotating shaft 602, and a guide plate 603. The self-locking motor 601 is fixedly installed on the front side of the frame 5, and the end of the output shaft of the self-locking motor 601 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 602. The rear end of the rotating shaft 602 is movably connected to the frame 5 through a bearing. The guide plate 603 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 602.

[0030] The self-locking motor 601 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 602 to rotate, thereby driving the guide plate 603 to rotate. The tilt angle of the guide plate 603 can be adjusted according to the needs. The material on the chain conveyor body 2 falls onto the guide plate 603, which guides the material.
