Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of this invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0025] The following embodiments can be understood as explaining a partial structure of the present invention individually, or as explaining a larger structure of the present invention through a combination of multiple embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] A chain for conveying U-shaped plates, such as Figures 4-8 As shown, the device includes a conveyor chain body, on which several inverted U-shaped plates 6 are arranged at equal intervals. The top of the U-shaped plates 6 is provided with an impact-resistant structure. The top of the U-shaped plates 6 is also connected to a rubber block B8 through a vulcanization process. The rubber block B8 is integrated with the impact-resistant structure.

[0028] like Figures 4-8 As shown, the impact-resistant structure is a protruding structure of regular or irregular shape, and the protruding structure extends upward along the top of the U-shaped plate 6.

[0029] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the conveying chain body can adopt the chain structure of the existing conveying chain, and the improvement is that the top end of the U-shaped attachment plate 6 is provided with an impact-resistant structure. The shape of the impact-resistant structure can be various, such as tubular, columnar, irregular shape, which can improve the gripping force of the rubber block B and the lateral impact resistance of the chain. When the chain is running and encounters a lateral impact force, it can ensure the stability of the structure of the rubber block B and the safety of the transported goods. Among them, the rubber block B plays a role in supporting the goods, and the connection area between it and the impact-resistant structure is large, and has a mutual lateral support effect, so that the rubber block B has a rigid skeleton inside, and the structural strength is higher.

Two first connecting holes 61 are arranged on the connecting parts. The top end of the two connecting parts is integrally connected with a bearing part (i.e. the top wall of the U-shaped attachment plate). The junction of the connecting part and the bearing part is chamfered to avoid stress concentration.

[0039] As shown in Figures 4-8 The connecting portions on both sides of the U-shaped attachment plate 6 are respectively arranged inside the outer chain plate B arranged opposite at the left and right ends of the single-row or double-row roller chain, the outer chain plate B is provided with two second connecting holes, the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are one-to-one opposite and are respectively in clearance fit and interference fit with the pin shaft B, the pin shaft B passes through the second connecting hole, the first connecting hole, the third connecting hole on the inner chain plate B and the fourth connecting hole on the middle chain plate B from outside to inside, and the pin shaft B is in clearance fit with the third connecting hole.
