For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] In addition, the technical solutions of each embodiment of the present application can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary skilled in the art can realize it, when the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or unachievable, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, nor is it within the scope of protection required by the present application.

[0029] For example, Figures 1 to 4As shown, in this embodiment, a chain conveying line includes multiple groups of conveying modules 100, and each group of conveying modules 100 includes a support frame 200, a chain assembly 300 rotatably arranged on the support frame 200, and a driving member 400 arranged on the support frame 200 and connected with the chain assembly 300 to drive the chain assembly 300 to rotate. The end of at least one group of conveying modules 100 is provided with an avoiding gap 500. When the multiple groups of conveying modules 100 are connected, the articles can be conveyed between the multiple groups of conveying modules 100. When the multiple groups of conveying modules 100 are separated, each group of conveying modules 100 can convey the articles independently. By designing the chain conveying line as multiple groups of conveying modules 100 that can operate independently, the user can select different numbers of conveying modules 100 according to actual needs to splice, form a conveying line with a required length, and adapt to different production or logistics conveying scenes, which not only effectively improves the adaptability and flexibility of the chain conveying line, but also reduces the maintenance cost and transportation difficulty. In addition, by providing the avoiding gap 500 at the end of at least one group of conveying modules 100, the forklift can directly receive or place the articles from these positions, improving the loading and unloading efficiency.

[0030] Specifically, the chain conveying line includes multiple groups of conveying modules 100, and the user can flexibly set the number of conveying modules 100 according to needs. This segmented design of multiple groups of conveying modules 100 not only improves the convenience of adjusting and disassembling the chain conveying line, but also reduces the difficulty of transporting the chain conveying line.

[0031] As shown in the Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the multiple groups of conveying modules 100 include a first conveying module 101, a second conveying module 102, and a third conveying module 103. These conveying modules 100 all include a support frame 200, a chain assembly 300, and a driving member 400, and thus can operate independently or cooperatively after being connected. When they are connected, the first conveying module 101, the second conveying module 102, and the third conveying module 103 can be arranged in different areas and connected or separated at any time according to needs. The first conveying module 101 is arranged at the front end of the chain conveying line and is responsible for guiding the articles to be conveyed into the entire conveying system. The second conveying module 102 is arranged at the middle end of the chain conveying line and is mainly responsible for stably transmitting the articles from the first conveying module 101 to the third conveying module 103, ensuring the continuity and stability of the entire conveying process. The third conveying module 103 is arranged at the end of the chain conveying line and is responsible for unloading the articles from the conveying line to a designated position or device.

[0032] As shown in the Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, when the first conveying module 101, the second conveying module 102 and the third conveying module 103 are docked, the first conveying module 101, the second conveying module 102 and the third conveying module 103 are arranged in a straight line and are in the same straight line, and the gap between them is smaller than the outer diameter of the article. This design makes all conveying modules 100 form a straight line after docking, ensuring that the article can be smoothly transmitted on the entire chain conveying line. This arrangement not only improves the transmission efficiency, but also reduces the phenomenon of article deviation or jam caused by inconsistent modules. At the same time, by accurately controlling the gap between the conveying modules 100, the situation of jamming or falling of the article due to too large gap during transmission is effectively prevented, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the system.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the first conveying module 101, the second conveying module 102 and the third conveying module 103 are docked, the second conveying module 102 is between the first conveying module 101 and the third conveying module 103, and the end of the first conveying module 101 and / or the third conveying module 103 away from the second conveying module 102 is provided with a avoiding gap 500. This design provides more operating space for the forklift, allowing it to directly receive or place articles from the end of the chain conveying line. For example, in a logistics center or warehouse, a forklift can directly enter from the end of the first conveying module 101 or the third conveying module 103 to take or place articles from or on the chain conveying line, effectively improving the loading and unloading efficiency, reducing the need for manual handling, and improving the overall work efficiency.

[0034] In this embodiment, each conveying module 100 also includes at least two baffles 700, and the two baffles 700 are movably arranged on the first support beam 210 on both sides of the conveying module 100; when any one of the baffles 700 moves, the straight-line distance between the two baffles 700 can be adjusted. Specifically, these baffles 700 are movably arranged outside the mounting bracket 230 and extend in the height direction of the mounting bracket 230. This design reduces the possibility of article deviation or tilting during conveying, improving the stability and reliability of transmission. Moreover, users can flexibly adjust the distance between the two baffles 700 according to the actual width of the article, further improving the flexibility and adaptability of the conveying module 100.

[0035] In the embodiment, the first support beam 210 is detachably provided with a fixing seat 800, one end of the fixing seat 800 is detachably connected with the outer side of the mounting frame 230 through a bolt, the other end extends away from the ground, and is formed with an adjusting groove 810 perpendicular to the direction of the chain assembly 300. The baffle 700 extends along the length direction of the first support beam 210, and the side of the baffle 700 away from the chain assembly 300 is provided with a connecting rod 710 movably extending into the adjusting groove 810. When the user loosens the bolt above the adjusting groove 810, the connecting rod 710 can move in the adjusting groove 810, and when the user tightens the bolt above the adjusting groove 810, the connecting rod 710 is fixed in the adjusting groove 810, so that the position adjustment of any baffle 700 is realized.

[0036] As shown in the drawings, Figures 2 to 4 In the embodiment, the support frame 200 includes a first support beam 210 and a second support beam 220 made of steel material, the first support beam 210 is provided with a plurality of horizontal equidistant arrangements, and the second support beam 220 is provided with at least one for connecting a plurality of support beams. This design effectively improves the carrying capacity of the support frame 200, not only supports the arrangement of multiple chain assemblies 300, but also ensures the stability of the conveying line under long-time high-load operation.

[0037] In the embodiment, one end of the plurality of first support beams 210 of the first conveying module 101 and / or the third conveying module 103 is connected through the second support beam 220, and the other end is independent of each other and forms an avoiding gap 500. This design not only ensures the stability of the support frame 200, but also provides a moving space for the fork arm of the forklift, avoids the interference between the fork arm and the support frame 200, and ensures the convenience of the forklift loading and unloading articles. Preferably, the avoiding gap 500 extends along one end of the first support beam 210 to the second support beam 220, so that the fork arm can at least extend to the middle position of the support frame 200.

[0038] Since the second conveying module 102 is in the middle position of the chain conveying line, it is usually not in contact with the forklift. In order to further improve the stability of the operation of the second conveying module 102, in the embodiment, the two ends of the plurality of first support beams 210 of the second conveying module 102 are connected through the second support beam 220 respectively. This design effectively improves the stability of the overall operation of the chain conveying line.

[0039] In the embodiment, the first support beam 210 and the second support beam 220 are perpendicular to each other and detachably connected through a screw. This design not only facilitates transportation and storage, but also facilitates replacement or maintenance of individual support beams when needed, effectively reducing maintenance costs. In addition, the second support beam 220 is detachably provided with a placement plate 900 away from the direction of the first support beam 210, and the driving member 400 is detachably arranged on the placement plate 900. This design makes the disassembly and maintenance of the driving member 400 more convenient.

[0040] In the embodiment, the support frame 200 further comprises a plurality of mounting frames 230 corresponding to the first support beams 210 and detachably connected thereto. The mounting frames 230 are hollow structures and extend along the length direction of the first support beams 210, and the chain assembly 300 is provided with a plurality of groups and is rotatably arranged in the mounting frames 230. By providing the mounting frames 230 with a hollow structure, the overall weight is reduced, and the installation and maintenance of the chain assembly 300 are facilitated, and the chain assembly 300 is also protected to some extent, which can effectively prolong the service life. The design of the plurality of groups of chain assemblies 300 further improves the reliability and stability of transmission. Even if a group of chains has a problem, other chains can still work, reducing the risk of system failure.

[0041] In the embodiment, the second conveying module 102 is detachably provided with a reinforcing beam 240 between the mounting frames 230. The reinforcing beam 240 is located at the middle position of the first support beam 210, perpendicular to the mounting frames 230, and detachably connected by bolts. This design further ensures the stability of the operation of the second conveying module 102.

[0042] The reinforcing beam 240 is designed as a single reinforcing beam in an integral manner or as a plurality of reinforcing beams in a split manner. Preferably, in the embodiment, the reinforcing beam 240 is designed in a split manner and provided with two reinforcing beams which are detachably arranged between the two reinforcing beams 240 by bolts. This design effectively improves the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the reinforcing beam 240.

[0043] In the embodiment, the mounting frame 230 of the third conveying module 103 is provided with a limiting structure 600 away from the second conveying module 102. When the article on the third conveying module 103 abuts against the limiting structure 600, the limiting structure 600 can limit the article from moving further. The limiting structure 600 effectively prevents the article from being ejected from one end of the chain conveying line due to inertia or other reasons by physical blocking. For example, when the article reaches the end of the conveying line, the limiting structure 600 can prevent it from continuing to move forward, avoiding falling or colliding with other equipment. That is, the presence of the limiting structure 600 reduces the risk of damage caused by ejection of the article, and also protects the surrounding equipment from accidental impact, ensuring the safety of the operator and avoiding potential dangers caused by ejection of the article.

[0044] In the embodiment, the limiting structure 600 comprises a fixing piece 610 detachably arranged at the end of the mounting rack 230 and a roller 620 rotatably arranged on the fixing piece 610; when the article moves to the end of the mounting rack 230 away from the second conveying module 102, the roller 620 abuts against the article. The fixing piece 610 is composed of two L-shaped plate pieces which are detachably connected with the mounting rack 230 through bolts, which not only ensures that the limiting structure 600 does not displace or loosen during the working process, but also facilitates the user to install and detach according to the needs. The roller 620 is in a cylindrical shape and is rotatably clamped between the two plate pieces through a rotating shaft; when the article contacts the roller 620, the contact point between the article and the roller 620 is only a line, which greatly reduces the contact area, the friction force and the surface pressure compared with the planar contact, and effectively guarantees the integrity of the article.
