Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of chain plates, and in particular to chain plates used in the production of solar panels. Background Technology

[0002] A chain plate is a component that bears the tension on a chain and is commonly used in conveyor belt systems. It primarily withstands repeated loading and impacts, therefore requiring high strength and impact resistance. The main materials for chain plates include carbon steel, alloy steel, and plastic steel (such as polypropylene and polyethylene). These materials give chain plates high strength, resistance to acids and alkalis, salt water, a wide temperature range, and good non-stick properties. Furthermore, chain plates are easy to clean and maintain, making them suitable for conveying in various environments.

[0003] Currently, in existing chain plate connection mechanisms, the connecting columns often gradually detach from their original positions due to shaking during operation, causing problems that affect the chain plate conveying. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a chain plate for solar panel production.

[0005] The chain plate for solar panel production provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A chain plate for solar panel production includes multiple chain plate bodies and connecting rods. Multiple equidistant connecting blocks are fixedly connected to one side wall of each chain plate body. Multiple connecting grooves, each adapted to one of the connecting blocks, are opened on the other side wall of each chain plate body. Through holes, adapted to the connecting rods, are opened on the side walls of both the connecting blocks and the connecting grooves. Locking components for preventing the connecting rods from sliding are provided on the connecting blocks and the connecting rods. Each locking component includes a receiving groove within one of the connecting blocks, which communicates with the through holes. A push plate is provided within the receiving groove. An arc-shaped locking block is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the push plate, located within the through holes. A push rod is fixedly connected to the other side of the upper surface of the push plate, with one end of the push rod away from the push plate passing through the connecting block. Multiple first springs are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the push plate, with one end of each first spring away from the push plate fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove. An annular groove, adapted to the arc-shaped locking block, is opened on the side wall of the connecting rod.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the two chain plate bodies are brought close together so that the connecting blocks are respectively located in the connecting grooves. Then, by pressing the push rod, the push plate moves down, compressing the first spring and moving the arc-shaped locking block into the receiving groove. Then, the connecting rod is passed through the through hole on the connecting block and the connecting groove to connect the two chain plate bodies. After that, the push rod is released, the first spring rebounds, and the arc-shaped locking block is pushed into the through hole and locked into the annular groove, restricting the movement of the connecting rod. This minimizes the problem of the connecting column being dislodged from its original position due to shaking during operation, which would affect the chain plate conveying.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting block has multiple annular array mounting slots on both sides of its sidewalls. A second spring is fixedly connected in the mounting slot. The end of the second spring away from the mounting slot is fixedly connected to the mounting block. The end of the mounting block away from the second spring is fixedly connected to a positioning bead. The positioning bead extends out of the mounting slot. The connecting slot has annular positioning slots on both sides of its sidewalls. The positioning bead is slidably disposed in the annular positioning slot.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the connecting block is inserted into the connecting groove, the positioning bead abuts against the side wall of the connecting groove and squeezes the second spring, causing the positioning bead to move into the mounting groove. When the positioning bead contacts the annular positioning groove, the second spring rebounds and pushes part of the positioning bead into the annular positioning groove, so that the two chain plate bodies are pre-connected, aligning the through holes on the connecting block and the connecting groove, making it convenient for the connecting rod to be inserted.

[0010] Preferably, the first spring is provided with a telescopic rod, and the two ends of the telescopic rod are fixedly connected to the push plate and the side wall of the receiving groove, respectively.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability of the first spring can be improved and bending can be prevented by using the telescopic rod.

[0012] Preferably, the top end of the push rod and the top end of the connecting block are on the same horizontal plane.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to prevent the push rod from extending out of the connecting block and affecting the operation of the chain plate body.

[0014] Preferably, the upper surface of the chain plate body is provided with U-shaped support blocks for supporting solar panels. The U-shaped support blocks are provided with multiple fixing bolts, which pass through the U-shaped support blocks and are threadedly connected to the chain plate body.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the solar panel can be supported by the U-shaped support block, preventing the solar panel from contacting the chain plate body and causing wear.

[0016] Preferably, the top end of the push rod is provided with an anti-slip groove.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip groove facilitates the use of an external pressure rod to press the push rod, preventing slippage when pressing the push rod.

[0018] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0019] 1. This application utilizes the cooperative arrangement of structures such as a receiving groove, an arc-shaped locking block, and a push rod. During use, the two chain plate bodies are brought close together so that the connecting blocks are respectively located in the connecting grooves. Then, by pressing the push rod, the push plate moves down, compressing the first spring and moving the arc-shaped locking block into the receiving groove. Next, the connecting rod is passed through the through holes on the connecting block and the connecting groove to connect the two chain plate bodies. Afterward, the push rod is released, causing the first spring to rebound and push the arc-shaped locking block into the through hole, locking it into the annular groove, thus restricting the movement of the connecting rod and minimizing the problem of the connecting column being dislodged from its original position due to shaking during operation, which would affect the chain plate conveying.

[0020] 2. When the connecting block is inserted into the connecting groove, the positioning bead abuts against the side wall of the connecting groove, which will compress the second spring and move the positioning bead into the mounting groove. When the positioning bead contacts the annular positioning groove, the second spring rebounds and pushes the positioning bead part into the annular positioning groove, so that the two chain plate bodies are pre-connected, aligning the connecting block and the through hole on the connecting groove, making it convenient for the connecting rod to be inserted.

[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0028] This application discloses a chain plate for solar panel production.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A chain plate for solar panel production includes multiple chain plate bodies 1 and connecting rods 2. Multiple connecting blocks 3 are fixedly connected to one side wall of the chain plate body 1. Multiple connecting grooves 4 are opened on the other side wall of the chain plate body 1, which are adapted to the connecting blocks 3 respectively. The side walls of the connecting blocks 3 and the connecting grooves 4 are opened with through holes 5 adapted to the connecting rods 2. The connecting blocks 3 and the connecting rods 2 are provided with locking components to prevent the connecting rods 2 from sliding. The locking components include a receiving groove 6, a push plate 7, an arc-shaped locking block 8, a push rod 9, a first spring 10, and an annular groove 11.

[0030] A receiving groove 6 is formed in one of the connecting blocks 3. The receiving groove 6 is located below and connected to the through hole 5. A push plate 7 is set in the receiving groove 6. An arc-shaped locking block 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the push plate 7 and is located in the through hole 5. A push rod 9 is fixedly connected to the other side of the upper surface of the push plate 7. The end of the push rod 9 away from the push plate 7 passes through the connecting block 3 and forms a sliding setting, which is used to press down the push plate 7 to move the arc-shaped locking block 8 into the receiving groove 6. Multiple first springs 10 are provided and are all fixedly connected to the lower surface of the push plate 7 and are evenly distributed. The end of the first spring 10 away from the push plate 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 6. An annular groove 11 is formed on the side wall of the connecting rod 2 and is adapted to the arc-shaped locking block 8.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The connecting block 3 has multiple annular array mounting slots 12 on both side walls. One side wall of the connecting block 3 located on the outermost side does not have a mounting slot 12. A second spring 13 is fixedly connected within the mounting slot 12. A mounting block 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the second spring 13 furthest from the mounting slot 12. A positioning bead 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the mounting block 14 furthest from the second spring 13. The positioning bead 15 partially extends out of the mounting slot 12. The connecting groove 4 has annular positioning slots 16 on both side walls. One side wall of the connecting groove 4 located on the outermost side has annular positioning slots 16. The side wall does not have an annular positioning groove 16. The positioning beads 15 are slidably disposed in the annular positioning groove 16. When the connecting block 3 is inserted into the connecting groove 4, the positioning beads 15 abut against the side wall of the connecting groove 4 and squeeze the second spring 13, causing the positioning beads 15 to move into the mounting groove 12. When the positioning beads 15 are in contact with the annular positioning groove 16, the second spring 13 rebounds and pushes part of the positioning beads 15 into the annular positioning groove 16, so that the two chain plate bodies 1 are pre-connected, and the through holes 5 on the connecting block 3 and the connecting groove 4 are aligned, so that the connecting rod 2 can be inserted.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 The first spring 10 is provided with a telescopic rod 17. The two ends of the telescopic rod 17 are fixedly connected to the push plate 7 and the side wall of the receiving groove 6, respectively. The stability of the first spring 10 can be improved by the telescopic rod 17 to prevent bending.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 The top of push rod 9 and the top of connecting block 3 are on the same horizontal plane, which can prevent push rod 9 from extending out of connecting block 3 and affecting the operation of chain plate body 1.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The upper surface of the chain plate body 1 is provided with U-shaped support blocks 18 for supporting solar panels. The U-shaped support blocks 18 are provided with multiple fixing bolts 19. The fixing bolts 19 pass through the U-shaped support blocks 18 and are threadedly connected to the chain plate body 1. The U-shaped support blocks 18 can support the solar panels and prevent the solar panels from contacting the chain plate body 1, which would cause wear.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 The top of the push rod 9 is provided with an anti-slip groove 20, which facilitates the use of an external pressure rod to press the push rod 9 and prevents it from sliding when pressing the push rod 9.

[0036] The implementation principle of the chain plate for solar panel production in this embodiment is as follows: During use, the two chain plate bodies 1 are brought close together, so that the connecting blocks 3 are respectively located in the connecting grooves 4. Then, by pressing the push rod 9, the push plate 7 moves downward, squeezing the first spring 10 and moving the arc-shaped locking block 8 into the receiving groove 6. Next, the connecting rod 2 is passed through the through hole 5 on the connecting block 3 and the connecting groove 4 to connect the two chain plate bodies 1. Then, the push rod 9 is released, causing the first spring 10 to rebound, pushing the arc-shaped locking block 8 into the through hole 5 and locking it into the annular groove 11, thus restricting the connecting rod 2. When the connecting block 3 is inserted into the connecting groove 4, the positioning bead 15 abuts against the side wall of the connecting groove 4, which will compress the second spring 13, causing the positioning bead 15 to move into the mounting groove 12. When the positioning bead 15 contacts the annular positioning groove 16, the second spring 13 will rebound and push the positioning bead 15 partially into the annular positioning groove 16, so that the two chain plate bodies 1 are pre-connected, aligning the connecting block 3 and the through hole 5 on the connecting groove 4, making it convenient to insert the connecting rod 2, and minimizing the problem of the connecting column being dislodged from its original position due to shaking during operation, which would affect the chain plate conveying.

[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
