Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chains, and in particular to a chain whose length is easy to adjust. Background Technology

[0002] Chains are generally metal links or rings, mostly used for mechanical transmission and traction. They can also be used as chain-like objects to obstruct traffic (such as in streets, river or harbor entrances), or as chains used for mechanical transmission.

[0003] When adjusting the length of a chain, it is usually done by removing a link to shorten the overall length. However, after prolonged use, wear and tear can cause changes in the chain tension, making it impossible to make precise adjustments by removing a link. This requires further adjustments to the links or clasps, which significantly impacts work progress. Furthermore, an improperly lengthed chain can pose safety hazards.

[0004] The technical problem this application aims to solve is: how to conveniently and quickly adjust the length of the chain. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a chain with an adjustable length.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a chain that is easy to adjust in length, including an outer chain plate, the outer chain plate including a receiving end and a telescopic end, the receiving end and the telescopic end being slidably connected, the telescopic end having a plurality of limiting holes equidistantly opened, the receiving end having a fixing bolt fixedly opened, and the fixing bolt and the limiting holes being used in conjunction.

[0007] When the chain length needs to be adjusted, slide the telescopic rod to its position inside the receiving end, and then use the fixing bolt to fix the limiting hole on the telescopic end, so as to fix the length of the outer chain plate.

[0008] In some implementations, the telescopic end has a maximum range of motion of 5 cm within the receiving end, allowing for fine-tuning of the chain length within this range.

[0009] In some embodiments, an inner chain plate is connected to the inner side of the outer chain plate, and the outer chain plate and the inner chain plate together form a complete chain. Several outer chain plates and inner chain plates are installed alternately and symmetrically to form a complete chain.

[0010] In some embodiments, through holes are provided on both sides of the outer and inner chain plates, and connecting rods are installed through the through holes to fix the outer and inner chain plates on both sides. The through holes facilitate the fixing of the outer and inner chain plates.

[0011] In some embodiments, a fixing block is provided at one end of the connecting rod, and a threaded post is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting rod. The connecting block is rotatably installed on the outside of the threaded post. The tops of the fixing block and the connecting block are located on the outside of the outer chain plate, which facilitates the fixing of the chain plates on both sides to form a chain.

[0012] In some embodiments, a positioning ring groove is fixedly provided on the side of the connecting rod near the threaded post. The positioning ring groove is installed inside the through hole to facilitate the rotation of the connecting rod during chain use.

[0013] In some embodiments, an oil storage tank is provided inside the outer link plate, and an oil inlet is provided on the outer wall of the outer link plate, which increases the oil storage capacity of the connecting plate and facilitates the addition of lubricating oil.

[0014] In some implementations, an oil-absorbing cotton is installed on the outside of the oil inlet to prevent lubricating oil from overflowing through the oil inlet during use.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1) In this utility model, the outer chain plate is composed of a receiving end and a telescopic end. When the length needs to be adjusted, the telescopic end moves within the receiving end, and then the limiting hole of the receiving end is fixed by a fixing bolt, which makes it convenient to adjust the length of the chain at any time.

[0017] 2) In this utility model, the maximum moving distance of the telescopic end within the receiving end is 5cm, which facilitates fine-tuning of the chain length. Attached Figure Description
