[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] In current industrial applications, especially in the food, pharmaceutical, and beverage industries, metal drive chains are widely used for transporting goods. However, traditional metal-component drive systems have several problems. First, these metal components may contaminate goods during contact, affecting hygiene and potentially posing a health risk to consumers. Second, in liquid environments, the corrosion and oxidation resistance of these traditional metal drive systems is not ideal. Prolonged exposure to humid or corrosive environments makes metal components prone to rust and corrosion, shortening equipment lifespan and potentially impacting the stability and efficiency of the entire production line.

[0040] The embodiments of this application aim to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems, and thus provide a plastic chain drive conveyor, wherein the surface of the plastic chain is relatively smooth and not easily contaminated with stains, has strong corrosion resistance, a simple and practical structure, is durable, and is applicable to a wider range of working conditions.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application provides a plastic chain drive conveyor, including: a base 1; a chain bed mounting frame 2, mounted on the base 1; a drive wheel assembly 3, mounted on the chain bed mounting frame 2, for driving goods onto the chain bed; a drive assembly 4, mounted on the chain bed mounting frame 2 and connected to the drive wheel assembly 3, for driving the drive wheel assembly 3 to rotate; and a chain 5, wound around the drive wheel assembly 3, cooperating with the drive wheel assembly 3 to drive goods onto the chain bed; wherein, the chain 5 is constructed of plastic material.

[0042] In a specific example, this application proposes an innovative plastic chain drive conveyor. The conveyor is designed to provide a highly efficient, durable, and cost-effective solution, particularly suitable for applications requiring the handling of light goods, such as the food and pharmaceutical industries. The conveyor mainly consists of several key components, including a robust base 1, a mounting frame for mounting the chain bed, a drive wheel assembly 3, a drive assembly 4, and a plastic chain 5. The base 1 is the foundational structure of the entire conveyor, designed to stably support the entire system and ensure stability during operation. The chain bed mounting frame 2 is mounted on the base 1, providing not only a stable mounting platform for the drive wheel assembly 3 but also an ideal path for the chain 5. The drive wheel assembly 3 is one of the core components of the conveyor; it is mounted on the chain bed mounting frame 2, and its main function is to load goods onto the chain bed. The design and construction of the drive wheel assembly 3 are crucial for ensuring smooth loading of goods. Of course, the same drive wheel assembly 3 can also be used for unloading goods, achieving a similar function to loading, and will not be elaborated further. The drive assembly 4 is another key component, also mounted on the chain bed mounting frame 2 and connected to the drive wheel assembly 3. The drive assembly 4 provides power to rotate the drive wheel assembly 3, thus enabling the continuous movement of the chain 5. Precise control of the drive assembly 4 ensures that the chain 5 feeds goods at the appropriate speed and force. The chain 5 is an indispensable part of the conveyor; it is wound around the drive wheel assembly 3 and works closely with it to complete the task of feeding goods. The chain 5 is special in its material; it is constructed of plastic. This design not only reduces the overall weight of the conveyor but also improves the chain 5's corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance.

[0043] Furthermore, to accommodate goods of different sizes and weights, the design of the drive wheel assembly 3 and drive assembly 4 allows for a degree of adjustment and configuration. This flexibility ensures that the conveyor can be widely used in a variety of different industrial environments, meeting the needs of diverse customers.

[0044] In terms of safety performance, the plastic chain drive conveyor of this application embodiment has also been fully considered. For example, both the drive wheel assembly 3 and the drive assembly 4 are equipped with safety protection devices (not shown) to prevent injury to operators in emergency situations. At the same time, the design of the entire conveyor follows industrial safety standards, ensuring safety under various working conditions.

[0045] Finally, for ease of maintenance and repair, the conveyor in this embodiment is designed for easy disassembly and assembly. Quick-connect methods are used between all components, allowing maintenance personnel to rapidly replace worn parts, reducing downtime and improving production efficiency.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the chain bed mounting frame 2 is provided with a first end and a second end, the drive wheel assembly 3 includes a drive wheel 301 and a driven wheel 302, the drive wheel 301 is provided at the first end of the chain bed mounting frame 2, the driven wheel 302 is provided at the second end of the chain bed mounting frame 2, and the drive assembly 4 drives the drive wheel 301 to rotate, thereby driving the driven wheel 302 to rotate, so as to transmit the chain 5.

[0047] In a specific example, the chain bed mounting frame 2 provided in this application embodiment is provided with a first end and a second end. In this implementation, the driving wheel assembly 3 includes two key parts: a driving wheel 301 and a driven wheel 302. The driving wheel 301 is designed and located at the first end of the chain bed mounting frame 2, playing a core role in driving the entire chain 5 transmission system. At the same time, the driven wheel 302 is located at the second end of the chain bed mounting frame 2, working in conjunction with the driving wheel 301 to ensure the smooth and efficient transmission of the chain 5. The drive assembly 4 is the power source of the entire transmission system. It is responsible for driving the driving wheel 301 to rotate. Through the power transmission of the driving wheel 301, the driven wheel 302 rotates accordingly, thereby realizing the effective operation of the entire chain 5 transmission system.

[0048] To ensure the stability and reliability of the chain drive 5, both ends of the chain bed mounting bracket 2 are typically equipped with precision bearing systems. These bearing systems reduce friction, extend the service life of the chain 5 and the wheels, and reduce noise and heat generation. Furthermore, to adapt to different working environments and load requirements, the size, material, and tooth profile design of the drive pulley 301 and driven pulley 302 may vary to provide optimal transmission efficiency and durability.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the drive assembly 4 includes: a universal coupling 401 connected to the drive wheel assembly 3 on the chain bed mounting frame 2; and a drive motor 402 that drives the universal coupling 401 to rotate, thereby driving the drive assembly 4 to rotate.

[0050] In a specific example, the drive assembly 4 includes a universal coupling 401, which is connected to the drive wheel assembly 3 on the chain bed mounting frame 2; in addition, the drive motor 402 is also included in the drive assembly 4, and its main function is to drive the universal coupling 401 to operate, thereby driving the rotation of the entire drive assembly 4.

[0051] To ensure the stability and durability of the drive assembly 4, the universal coupling 401 is typically made of high-strength materials and designed with a precision transmission structure to reduce energy loss during operation. The selection and configuration of the drive motor 402 are also crucial; its power and speed need to be determined based on the workload and speed requirements of the chain bed to ensure efficient operation of the drive system.

[0052] In one possible implementation, a transverse component 6 is also included, which is disposed on the base 1 for conveying goods on the chain bed; wherein the base 1 is provided with a first station 101 and a second station 102, and the transverse component 6 can move between the first station 101 and the second station 102 to transfer goods.

[0053] In a specific example, the plastic chain-driven conveyor provided in this application embodiment further includes a transverse component 6, which is carefully designed and mounted on a base 1. Its main function is to transport goods on the chain bed. In this process, the base 1 is specially configured with two stations, namely a first station 101 and a second station 102. The transverse component 6 has the ability to move flexibly between the first station 101 and the second station 102, thereby effectively transferring goods and ensuring the smoothness and efficiency of the entire conveying process.

[0054] Furthermore, the transverse transfer assembly 6 is designed with various working scenarios in mind, adapting to goods of different sizes and weights. To enhance operational safety, the transverse transfer assembly 6 is also equipped with an advanced sensor system (described in detail below) that monitors the position and status of the goods in real time, preventing collisions or falls during movement. In highly automated production environments, the transverse transfer assembly 6 can seamlessly integrate with control systems to achieve precise goods positioning and rapid loading and unloading operations.

[0055] In one possible implementation, the transverse component 6 includes: a transverse frame 601 mounted on the base 1; and a built-in motor 602 disposed within the transverse frame 601 for driving the transverse frame 601 to move from the first station 101 of the base 1 to the second station 102 of the base 1.

[0056] In a specific example, the design of the transverse component 6 incorporates several key parts to ensure its functionality and efficiency. First, the transverse frame 601 is the core structure of the component, mounted on the base 1 to provide stable support for the entire transverse process. Second, the built-in motor 602 is cleverly positioned inside the transverse frame 601, driving it to move precisely. When the built-in motor 602 is activated, it enables the transverse frame 601 to smoothly move from the first station 101 to the second station 102 on the base 1, thereby completing the predetermined work task. This design not only ensures the stability and reliability of the transverse component 6 but also improves operational flexibility and efficiency.

[0057] Furthermore, the design of the transverse assembly 6 also considers ease of operation and maintenance. To ensure precise alignment of the transverse frame 601 during movement, the assembly may also include a precision guiding system (described in detail below), such as guide rails or sliders, which fit closely with the transverse frame 601 to ensure its linearity and stability when moving between two stations. The design of the guiding system can reduce errors caused by friction and wear, thereby improving the service life and operational accuracy of the entire system.

[0058] To adapt to different working environments and requirements, the design of the transverse traverse assembly 6 may also feature modularity. This means that key components such as the transverse traverse frame 601, the built-in motor 602, and the guiding system can be quickly replaced or upgraded as needed, providing users with greater flexibility and scalability. This modular design not only reduces maintenance costs but also enables the transverse traverse assembly 6 to adapt to a wider range of application scenarios.

[0059] In one possible implementation, a transverse roller array 7 is also included, which is disposed on the transverse frame 601 and driven by the built-in motor 602, so as to drive the transverse frame 601 from the first station 101 of the base 1 to the second station 102 of the base 1 under the drive of the built-in motor 602.

[0060] In a specific example, the plastic chain drive conveyor provided in this application embodiment further includes a transverse roller row 7, which is disposed on the transverse frame 601 and directly connected to the built-in motor 602 so that under the driving action of the built-in motor 602, the transverse frame 601 can be moved from the first station 101 of the base 1 to the second station 102 of the base 1.

[0061] The movement of the transverse frame 601 is achieved by precisely controlling the speed and direction of rotation of the built-in motor 602. The built-in motor 602 is typically a stepper motor or a servo motor to ensure the accuracy and repeatability of the movement. During the movement, the transverse roller row 7 ensures the continuous and uniform movement of the transverse frame 601, rather than variable speed movement, to prevent goods from falling off.

[0062] In one possible implementation, a transverse guide wheel 8 is also included, which is disposed on the transverse roller row 7 so that the transverse roller row 7 always drives the transverse frame 601 to move laterally.

[0063] In a specific example, the plastic chain-driven conveyor provided in this application embodiment also includes transverse guide wheels 8. These transverse guide wheels 8 are designed and arranged on the transverse roller row 7, and their main function is to ensure that the transverse roller row 7 can smoothly drive the transverse frame 601 to move laterally. Through this design, the stability and operational accuracy of the entire mechanical system can be effectively improved, thereby ensuring that the transverse frame 601 remains stable during transverse movement, reducing unnecessary vibration and offset, and ensuring the high efficiency and reliability of mechanical operation.

[0064] Furthermore, to further enhance the functionality of the lateral guide wheel 8, a precision bearing system may be incorporated into the guide wheel's structural design. These bearing systems can reduce friction, extend the guide wheel's lifespan, and maintain its precise guiding performance during extended use.

[0065] In one possible implementation, a tensioning mechanism 9 is also included, which is disposed on the chain bed mounting frame 2 and connected to the drive wheel assembly 3, for tensioning the chain 5 on the drive wheel assembly 3.

[0066] In a specific example, the plastic chain drive conveyor provided in this application embodiment further includes a tensioning mechanism 9, which is mounted on the chain bed mounting frame 2 and connected to the drive wheel assembly 3. Its main function is to tension the chain 5 on the drive wheel assembly 3. This design ensures that the chain 5 maintains appropriate tension during operation, thereby improving transmission efficiency and stable equipment operation. The tensioning mechanism 9 effectively prevents the chain 5 from jumping or falling off due to slack, ensuring the smoothness and safety of the entire transmission system.

[0067] In one possible implementation, a position sensing component 10 is also included. The position sensing component 10 is disposed on the base 1 and is communicatively connected to the drive assembly 4. It is used to transmit a position signal to the drive assembly 4 after sensing that the goods have been loaded onto the chain bed, so as to stop the drive assembly 4 from operating.

[0068] In a specific example, the plastic chain drive conveyor provided in this application embodiment further includes a position sensing component 10. This position sensing component 10 is disposed on the base 1 and communicatively connected to the drive assembly 4. It transmits a position signal to the drive assembly 4 after sensing that goods have been loaded onto the chain bed, causing the drive assembly 4 to stop operating. This position sensing component 10 can be various types of sensors, such as photoelectric sensors, proximity switches, or other devices capable of detecting the position of objects. When goods are placed on the chain bed, the position sensing component 10 can immediately detect the presence of the goods and send a signal through its communicative connection with the drive assembly 4. This signal indicates to the drive assembly 4 that there are goods on the chain bed. Therefore, upon receiving this signal, the drive assembly 4 will immediately stop its operation, thereby avoiding damage to the goods or unnecessary operation.

[0069] Furthermore, the position sensing component 10 can also include a feedback mechanism to ensure that the system can promptly detect and respond to any abnormalities during the loading process, such as incorrect placement or positional deviation of the goods. For example, if the sensor detects that the goods are not in the expected position, it will send an error signal to the drive component 4. Upon receiving the error signal, the drive component 4 can initiate a preset program to correct the position of the goods, or stop the movement of the chain bed and issue an alarm to prompt the operator to intervene. This design not only improves the automation level of the system but also enhances the safety and reliability of operation.

[0070] In one possible implementation, a stop component 11 is also included, which is disposed on the base 1 near one end of the drive assembly 4 for stopping the goods.

[0071] In a specific example, the plastic chain drive conveyor provided in this application embodiment further includes a stop component 11, which is disposed on the base 1 near one end of the drive assembly 4 to stop the goods. In order to prevent the position sensing component 10 from malfunctioning, the stop component 11 is also provided at one end of the chain bed mounting frame 2, which can mechanically stop the transferred goods.

[0072] The stop component 11 is not limited to one end of the base 1; it can also be distributed at other locations on the base 1 as needed to provide multi-point support and fixation. For example, the stop component 11 can also be installed at the other end or in the middle of the base 1 to accommodate goods of different lengths and shapes. Furthermore, the stop component 11 can be designed to be adjustable, allowing users to adjust it according to the size and weight of the goods, ensuring sufficient support under various conditions. This design flexibility makes the entire transportation system more versatile and efficient.
