Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyors, specifically a side-mounted lifting chain conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] The working principle of a chain conveyor is as follows: The chain conveyor is powered by a motor, which drives a speed reducer via a belt and pulleys. The speed reducer then drives the chain to move small sprockets, causing bevel gears to rotate. These bevel gears then transmit power to the large sprockets via a vertical shaft, ultimately driving the entire chain. This drives the chain plates on the conveyor. The chain is one of the key components of the chain conveyor; it reciprocates under the drive of the sprockets, providing traction for material transport. Chains typically have high strength and wear resistance to withstand significant tension and ensure stable operation over extended periods. The chain plates, as the material carriers, are generally fixed to the traction chain using riveting or other methods. When the chain moves, the chain plates move along with it, thus transporting the material placed on the chain plates horizontally, inclined, or vertically. Chain plates are made of various materials, such as carbon steel and stainless steel, which can be selected according to different conveyed materials and process requirements.

[0003] To increase the stability of the chain conveyor during material transport, multiple sets of baffles are evenly arranged on its surface to prevent material from slipping off the chain. However, our long-term observation has revealed that installing a large number of baffles on the chain increases the overall load and energy consumption of the conveyor. Furthermore, when transporting heavier materials, especially from low to high, the baffles are prone to deformation under stress, making them difficult to correct or replace. Currently, no effective solution has been proposed to address these technical issues, hence this case. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a side-mounted lifting chain conveyor to solve the defects mentioned in the background art.

A baffle and its mounting assembly are fixedly mounted on the surface of the chain plates on the chain plate assembly. The baffle and its mounting assembly include a positioning seat fixedly disposed on the surface of the chain plates, and the baffle is mounted on the surface of the positioning seat. A socket is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the baffle.

[0006] Preferably, the conveyor body is S-shaped, and the outer edge plate of the conveyor body is consistent with the overall shape of the conveyor body.

[0007] Preferably, the length of the positioning seat is equal to the length of the baffle, and the positioning seat has a positioning groove inside, which is adapted to the size of the socket, and the socket is inserted into the positioning groove.

[0008] Preferably, the height of the socket is equal to the depth of the positioning groove, and both ends of the bottom of the socket are arc-shaped. The positioning seat and the baffle are positioned and installed through the positioning groove and the socket.

[0009] Preferably, the baffle is a rectangular structure made of plastic, and a groove is provided on the back of the baffle. At the same time, multiple sets of equidistant reinforcing seats are evenly arranged inside the groove, and the cross-section of the reinforcing seats is a right trapezoid, and the surface of the reinforcing seats is provided with slots.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the socket is evenly provided with multiple sets of equally spaced screw holes, and the positioning seat is evenly provided with multiple sets of equally spaced through holes, which are fixedly screwed into the interior of the positioning seat through the through holes.

At the same time, a drive motor 4 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the reducer 3. A chain plate assembly 5 is movably installed on the conveyor body 1. A baffle and its mounting assembly 6 are fixedly installed on the surface of the chain piece 51 on the chain plate assembly 5. The baffle and its mounting assembly 6 include a positioning seat 61 fixedly provided on the surface of the chain piece 51, and a baffle 66 is installed on the surface of the positioning seat 61. At the same time, a socket 64 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the baffle 66.

[0021] Working principle: During use, materials can be fed onto the bottom surface of the conveyor body 1 and conveyed by the chain plate assembly 5 on the conveyor body 1. When conveying materials, the chain plate assembly 5 on the conveyor body 1 has side guards 2 on both sides to block the material and prevent it from falling off the conveyor body 1. Simultaneously, multiple sets of baffles 66 are evenly arranged on the chain plate assembly 5 to block and limit the material being conveyed on the chain plate assembly 5. The baffles and their mounting components 6 are detachable from the chain plate assembly 5. The specific disassembly method is as follows: remove the bolts screwed to the outside of the positioning seat 61, hold the baffle 66, and connect the socket 64...

For example, in some chain plate conveyors in the food processing industry, the baffle may be corroded or damaged due to frequent contact with food raw materials. Being able to replace the baffle separately can restore the normal operation of the equipment in a timely manner.

The positioning groove 62 is adapted to the size of the socket 64, and the socket 64 is inserted into the positioning groove 62.

[0024] The height of the socket 64 is equal to the depth of the positioning groove 62, and both ends of the bottom of the socket 64 are arc-shaped. The positioning seat 61 and the baffle 66 are positioned and installed through the positioning groove 62 and the socket 64.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the baffle 66 is a rectangular structure made of plastic, and a slot 67 is provided on the back of the baffle 66. At the same time, multiple sets of equidistant reinforcing seats 68 are evenly arranged inside the slot 67, and the cross-section of the reinforcing seat 68 is a right trapezoid, and the surface of the reinforcing seat 68 is provided with slots.

[0026] The surface of the socket 64 is evenly provided with multiple sets of equally spaced screw holes 65, and the positioning seat 61 is evenly provided with multiple sets of equally spaced through holes 63. The socket 64 is fixedly screwed into the interior of the positioning seat 61 through the through holes 63. The baffle 66 is a detachable structure on the chain plate assembly 5.
