Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to a chain link adjustment plate for metal manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] Metal manufacturing is a process technology that processes metal materials into items, parts, and components, including large parts such as bridges and ships, as well as small components such as engines, jewelry, and watches. The forming and processing of metal materials are divided into cold working (machining, cold rolling, cold forging, stamping, etc.) and hot working (casting, hot rolling, forging, welding, heat treatment, etc.) according to their characteristics. Among them, the conveying of metal materials in the processing is mainly driven by the transmission of the conveying rotating device driven by the chain.

[0003] However, traditional chains will become loose due to wear after long-term use, affecting the operating efficiency and safety of the equipment. In view of this, we propose a chain link adjustment plate made of metal. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a chain link adjustment plate for metal manufacturing, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a chain link adjusting plate for metal manufacturing, comprising a chain link adjusting plate body, wherein a plurality of adjusting grooves are formed on the surface of the chain link adjusting plate body, a movable column is movably connected to the inner cavity of the adjusting groove, a connecting block is fixedly connected to the side of the movable column, a spring is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block, and a fixing block is fixedly connected to the end of the spring away from the connecting block, the connecting block is movably connected to the chain link adjusting plate body, and the fixing block is fixedly connected to the chain link adjusting plate body.

[0006] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a telescopic rod is movably connected to the inner cavity of the spring. The end of the telescopic rod near the fixed block is fixedly connected to the fixed block, and the end of the telescopic rod away from the fixed block is fixedly connected to the connecting block.

[0007] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a rotating gear is fixedly connected to the side of the movable column away from the fixed block, and the side of the rotating gear close to the fixed block is movably connected to the side of the chain link adjusting plate body away from the fixed block.

[0008] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a chain is movably connected to the surface of the rotating gear.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] This metal chain link adjusting plate, through the elastic force of springs, automatically pushes two connecting blocks away from the fixed block when the chain becomes loose, thereby tightening the chain. This ensures that the chain always maintains appropriate tension, eliminating the need for frequent manual adjustments. The automated tensioning mechanism prevents equipment malfunctions or safety hazards caused by chain slack, ensuring the stability and reliability of the transmission system. Timely adjustment of chain tension avoids safety hazards caused by excessive chain slack, such as chain detachment or breakage, thus protecting the safety of operators and equipment.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0018] Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a chain link adjusting plate for metal manufacturing, including a chain link adjusting plate body 2. The surface of the chain link adjusting plate body 2 has several adjusting grooves 3. A movable column 9 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the adjusting groove 3. A connecting block 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable column 9. A spring 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block 5. A fixing block 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the spring 7 away from the connecting block 5. The connecting block 5 is movably connected to the chain link adjusting plate body 2, and the fixing block 6 is fixedly connected to the chain link adjusting plate body 2. The chain link adjusting plate body 2 serves as the basic frame of the entire device, and the several adjusting grooves 3 on its surface allow the movable column 9 to move within its inner cavity. This design allows the chain 4 to automatically adjust its tension according to changes in the operating conditions of the equipment. The movable column 9 is connected to the spring 7 via the connecting block 5 fixed to the side, and the spring 7 is connected to the fixed block 6. When the chain 4 becomes slack, the spring 7 uses its own elasticity to push the two connecting blocks 5 away from the fixed block 6, thereby tightening the chain 4. This design realizes an automatic compensation mechanism after the chain 4 becomes loose. The combination of spring 7 and movable column 9 not only reduces the need for additional mechanical parts, but also simplifies the installation and maintenance process. The appropriate tension of the chain 4 can be maintained without frequent manual intervention, thus improving the reliability of the system.

[0020] Please see Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a telescopic rod 8 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the spring 7. The end of the telescopic rod 8 near the fixed block 6 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 6, and the end of the telescopic rod 8 away from the fixed block 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 5. The function of the telescopic rod 8 is to ensure that the spring 7 maintains linear motion during the extension and retraction process, preventing the spring 7 from bending or twisting, thereby affecting the adjustment effect. The telescopic rod 8 provides additional support, ensuring the linearity and stability of the extension and retraction action of the spring 7, making the chain 4 tension more uniform and smooth. By reducing the abnormal deformation of the spring 7, the risk of fatigue failure of the spring 7 is reduced, thereby extending the service life of the entire device.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, furthermore, a rotating gear 1 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable column 9 away from the fixed block 6. The side of the rotating gear 1 near the fixed block 6 is movably connected to the side of the chain link adjusting plate body 2 away from the fixed block 6. The presence of the rotating gear 1 makes the transmission of the chain 4 smoother, reduces friction loss, and improves transmission efficiency. Due to the movable connection between the rotating gear 1 and the chain link adjusting plate body 2, this design can better adapt to chains 4 of different sizes and types, enhancing the versatility of the product.

[0022] Please see Figure 1As shown, specifically, a chain 4 is movably connected to the surface of the rotating gear 1, ensuring that the chain 4 can be displaced accordingly by rotating the gear 1 when subjected to external tension or thrust, thereby achieving effective adjustment of the chain 4 length. Users can easily adjust the length of the chain 4 according to actual conditions without the need for complicated tools or skills, thus improving the user experience.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, this chain link adjustment plate not only simplifies the process of adjusting the length of chain 4, but also significantly improves the safety and working efficiency of the equipment. Through the above mechanism, it can effectively deal with the problem of chain 4 slack and ensure the normal operation of the transmission system.

[0024] In summary, the working principle of this solution is as follows:

[0025] When chain 4 becomes loose due to prolonged operation or wear, the distance between the chain links increases, causing chain 4 to no longer be tightly attached to the rotating gear 1. At this time, spring 7, due to its own restoring force, will push connecting block 5 outward, thereby causing moving column 9 and rotating gear 1 on it to expand outward. As the position of rotating gear 1 changes, it will tighten chain 4, thereby compensating for the increase in chain length caused by loosening, so that chain 4 returns to the correct tension state. The function of telescopic rod 8 is to maintain the stability and linear movement of spring 7 during this process, ensuring a smooth adjustment process without deviation.

[0026] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
