[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and should not be used to limit the present application.

[0023] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer" and the like is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present application; the terms "first", "second", "third" are only for the purpose of description, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance; in addition, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting", "connecting" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or the communication between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a reflow soldering chain auxiliary device provided by the embodiment is shown, which comprises a chain bracket 1, a rotating wheel 2 and a rotating wheel mounting shaft 3, the chain bracket 1 is provided with a holding groove 11 for the chain to pass through, the rotating wheel mounting shaft 3 is fixed on the chain bracket 1, and the rotating wheel 2 is rotatably mounted on the rotating wheel mounting shaft 3.

[0025] The rotating wheel 2 is aligned with the notch of the holding groove 11, and the top surface of the rotating wheel 2 is flush with the groove bottom of the holding groove 11.

[0026] By setting the rotating wheel 2 on the chain bracket 1, the chain is in rolling contact with the rotating wheel 2 during movement, with small friction and no additional resistance to the rotation of the motor. At the same time, since the rotating wheel 2 supports the chain, it reduces the pressure of the chain on the chain bracket 1, thereby reducing the hard friction between the chain and the chain bracket 1, and the resistance to the rotation of the motor is also reduced accordingly. It can avoid the problem that the surface of the chain bracket 1 is worn out after long-term use of the equipment, and it is beneficial to prolong the service life of the motor and reduce the maintenance cost of the equipment.

[0027] In this embodiment, the length direction of the bracket 11 is the transmission direction of the chain, and the two notches of the bracket 11 are located at both ends of the length direction. The bottom wall of the bracket 11 is a plane and is parallel to the tangent direction of the top surface of the rotating wheel 2, so that the pressure and friction of the chain on the bracket 11 and the rotating wheel 2 are uniform, avoiding damage due to excessive friction at individual positions.

[0028] The width of the bracket 11 matches the width of the chain. In actual application, the width of the bracket 11 is slightly larger than the width of the chain, so that when the chain passes through the bracket 11, it is possible to avoid contact with the two side walls of the bracket 11, and at the same time, when the transmission direction of the chain deviates, the two side walls of the bracket 11 can limit the chain to correct the transmission direction of the chain.

[0029] Further, the two side walls of the bracket 11 extend in the direction of the rotating wheel 2 to form guide walls 12 for guiding the chain. Through this design, it can ensure that the chain maintains the correct running direction in the bracket 11, effectively reducing or avoiding friction between the chain and the side wall of the bracket 11, which is beneficial to prolong the service life of the equipment and reduce the maintenance cost.

[0030] Further, the guide walls 12 on both sides of the bracket 11 extend outwardly and obliquely to form an eight-shaped correction wall 13 for preventing the chain from deviating. Through this design, the chain can maintain the correct path during transmission, avoiding wear and damage caused by chain deviation, prolonging the service life of the equipment and reducing the maintenance cost. It should be noted that the correction wall 13 can be designed with different angles and lengths to adapt to different types and specifications of chains. Specifically, the inclination angle of the correction wall 13 can be adjusted according to the width and transmission speed of the chain to ensure the best correction effect. For example, the correction wall 13 can adopt a larger inclination angle to cope with high-speed transmission chains, or a smaller inclination angle to adapt to low-speed transmission chains.

[0031] The chain bracket 1 is made of wear-resistant material to further improve its service life and reliability. As a preferred embodiment, the chain bracket 1 is integrally made of a whole piece of stainless steel plate, and the mounting portion 10 and the holding groove 11 are formed by bending; wherein the mounting portion 10 is provided with a mounting hole 101. The reflow soldering chain auxiliary device of the embodiment further comprises a mounting seat 4, which is mounted below the mounting portion 10 of the chain bracket 1 in a detachable manner (such as threaded connection, buckle connection, etc.), wherein the holding groove 11 is located on the outer side of the mounting seat 4, and the rotating wheel mounting shaft 3 is fixed on the mounting seat 4 and located on the same outer side of the mounting seat 4 as the holding groove 11. Since the mounting seat 4 is connected to the chain bracket 1 in a detachable manner, when the rotating wheel 2 is damaged or worn, it can be conveniently replaced.

[0032] The connecting mode between the rotating wheel mounting shaft 3 and the mounting seat 4 can be threaded connection, key connection or interference fit, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the rotating wheel mounting shaft 3. In order to further improve the stability and reliability of the device, a buffer material such as a rubber gasket can be added between the mounting seat 4 and the chain bracket 1 to absorb vibration and impact.

[0033] The embodiment also provides a reflow soldering device, which comprises a chain transmission system and the reflow soldering chain auxiliary device described above, and the reflow soldering chain auxiliary device is installed below the chain of the chain transmission system.

[0034] In summary, the reflow soldering chain auxiliary device of the embodiment is applied to the reflow soldering device, effectively solving the wear problem caused by hard friction of the chain on the chain bracket 1, reducing the resistance when the motor rotates, reducing the damage to the gearbox, and prolonging the service life of the device. Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the embodiment has significant advantages in improving the reliability of the device and reducing the maintenance cost.

[0035] The above only describes the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
