[0018] 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.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-3An embodiment of this utility model provides a chain with surface anti-wear function, including a support device 1. A cover device 2 is slidably inserted into the side end of the support device 1. The cover device 2 includes a first cover plate 6, a first alignment plate 7, an L-shaped extension frame 8, a pin 9, a bolt 10, a second alignment plate 11, and a second cover plate 12. The first alignment plate 7 and the second alignment plate 11 are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom and top of the side ends of the first cover plate 6 and the second cover plate 12. The bolt 10 is threaded into the inside of the first alignment plate 7 and the second alignment plate 11. The L-shaped extension frame 8 is symmetrically fixedly installed at the top of the first cover plate 6 and the bottom of the second cover plate 12. The pin 9 is fixedly installed at the top of the side end of the L-shaped extension frame 8.
[0020] The support device 1 includes a protective disc 3, a sprocket 4, and a chain 5. The sprocket 4 is rotatably mounted inside the side end of the protective disc 3, and the chain 5 is meshed and sleeved on the outer ring of the sprocket 4. The protective disc 3 is located outside the sprocket 4 and the chain 5, so that external objects can be prevented from directly contacting the sprocket 4 and the chain 5.
[0021] The pins 9 are symmetrically slidably inserted into the inside of the protective plate 3, improving the accuracy of the first cover plate 6 and the second cover plate 12 being installed on the protective plate 3.
[0022] The top and bottom of the protective plate 3 are symmetrically provided with insertion holes, which facilitates the insertion of the pin 9 into the interior of the protective plate 3.
[0023] The second cover plate 12 and the first cover plate 6 have an arc groove at their opposite ends, which facilitates the installation of the first cover plate 6 and the second cover plate 12 on the side of the protective plate 3.
[0024] The second alignment plate 11 and the first alignment plate 7 have threaded holes inside, which makes it easy for the first alignment plate 7 to restrict and fix the first alignment plate 7 and the second alignment plate 11.
[0025] Working Principle: In use, first install the protective disc 3 onto the bicycle frame. Simultaneously, install the protective disc 3 and sprocket 4 onto the frame. Then, symmetrical insertion holes are provided at the top and bottom of the protective disc 3, allowing the pins 9 to be inserted into these holes. This supports the first cover plate 6 and the second cover plate 12, which are positioned at the top and bottom of the protective disc 3. When the pins 9 on the first cover plate 6 and the second cover plate 12 are fully inserted into the insertion holes inside the protective disc 3, the first alignment plates 7 on the first cover plate 6 and the second cover plate 12 can fit together. Then, bolts 10 can be screwed into the first alignment plates 7 and the second alignment plates 11 to fix the first cover plates 6 and the second cover plate 12 in place, preventing them from falling off. Furthermore, arc grooves are provided at opposite ends of the first cover plates 6 and the second cover plate 12, facilitating their installation onto the side of the protective disc 3. Simultaneously, the first cover plates 6 and the second cover plate 12, positioned on the protective disc 3, provide support for the protective disc 3. On the side end of disc 3, external objects are prevented from directly contacting the chain 5 and sprocket 4, reducing the probability of the chain 5 and sprocket 4 being impacted and rubbed by external objects. During use, the first cover plate 6 and the second cover plate 12 are attached to the side surface of the protective disc 3, improving the integrity of the first cover plate 6 and the second cover plate 12 covering the protective disc 3. Subsequently, when the chain 5 and sprocket 4 need maintenance, the bolt 10 can be unscrewed from the inside of the first alignment plate 7 and the second alignment plate 11, allowing the chain 5 and sprocket 4 to be repaired. Once the alignment plate 7 and the second alignment plate 11 are unlocked, the first cover plate 6 and the second cover plate 12 can be pulled away from the sprocket 4 until the pin 9 is removed from the inside of the protective plate 3. This allows the first cover plate 6 and the second cover plate 12 to be removed from the protective plate 3, facilitating the user's maintenance of the sprocket 4 and the chain 5. At the same time, when the first cover plate 6 and the second cover plate 12 are in the installed state, the pin 9 will not contact the chain 5, thus preventing interference between the pin 9 and the chain 5 and completing the work.
[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
