TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of conveyer, more specifically, the utility model relates to a conveyer chain tensioning mechanism. BACKGROUND
[0002] Conveyers can be divided into the following types according to their operation modes: integrated loading and replenishing conveyers, belt conveyers, screw conveyers, bucket elevators, drum conveyers, plate chain conveyers, mesh belt conveyers and chain conveyers. The chain of a chain conveyer will become loose due to fatigue during long-term use, and thus the tension of the chain needs to be adjusted after a period of use.
[0003] The chain will become loose after a period of use, and problems such as disengagement of the chain from the sprocket, loss of function, transmission jamming, instability or vibration, and large movement error during forward and reverse rotation will occur. The existing chain device does not have a tensioning function, and it is troublesome to eliminate chain looseness.
[0004] According to the search, the Chinese patent with the publication number CN212739494U discloses a chain device with a tensioning mechanism. Two screws are synchronously rotated. Since the screws are threadedly connected with the driven shaft, the driven shaft will move axially along the screw. Since one end of the screw abuts against a stopper, the stopper is fixed on the rack, and thus the screw is fixed relative to the rack, and the driving shaft is also fixed relative to the rack. Therefore, by rotating the screw in the correct direction, the driven shaft will move away from the driving shaft, and the tensioning of the chain is achieved.
[0005] When the driven shaft moves away from the driving shaft during actual use of the chain device with the tensioning mechanism, the tension of the chain will increase, which will cause the chain to be subjected to excessive tensile stress during transmission, and thus the chain will be broken, causing a safety hazard.
