[0027] To make the technical problem solved by this utility model, the technical solution adopted, and the technical effect achieved clearer, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this application provides an easily adjustable chain conveying device, including: a frame 1, a conveying structure 2 connected to the frame 1, and a clamping structure 3 driven by the conveying structure 2. The conveying structure 2 includes a chain 21 and at least two sprockets 22. At least one sprocket 22 is connected to the frame 1 through an adjusting component 23, which is movably connected to the frame 1. The chain 21 is composed of a plurality of inner links 211 and outer links 212 connected alternately, and the clamping structure 3 is connected to at least one of the outer links 212.

[0032] This application uses a sprocket 22 and a chain 21 for transmission, which provides high transmission accuracy, is less affected by environmental factors, and ensures more stable transmission. The sprocket 22 is connected to the frame 1 via an adjustment component 23, allowing workers to easily adjust the tension of the chain 21 by adjusting the adjustment component 23. Furthermore, the clamping structure 3 is connected to the outer link 212 and will not affect the normal operation of the chain 21. The chain 21 has a certain rigidity and will not deform in the length direction when subjected to external force. Therefore, the clamping structure 3 is connected to the chain 21, which ensures that the relative position of the clamping structure 3 does not change during movement, meeting the high precision requirements in the production process.

[0033] A connecting plate 2121 is formed by bending the outer link 212, and the clamping structure 3 is connected to the connecting plate 2121. The connection is made through the connecting plate 2121, which is simple and has a low failure rate.

[0034] A connecting plate 2121 is formed on the outer link 212. The connecting plate 212 facilitates the connection of the clamping structure 3 to the chain 21 and has a good connection effect. Each clamping structure 3 is individually connected to the chain 21 through the connecting plate 2121, so the chain 21 will not be difficult to turn at the bend due to the installation of the clamping structure 3.

[0035] At least one sprocket 22 is connected to the frame 1 via an adjusting assembly 23, which is movably connected to the frame 1.

[0036] The adjustable function of this application is achieved by adjusting component 23 to make sprocket 22 movable.

[0037] In this embodiment, the adjustment assembly 23 includes an adjustment plate 231 and a rotating shaft 232 connected to the adjustment plate 231. The rotating shaft 232 passes through the adjustment plate 231 and the frame 1, and a sprocket 22 is connected to the rotating shaft 232. The frame 1 is provided with a first adjustment groove 11 for accommodating the rotating shaft 232. One of the frame and the adjustment plate 231 is provided with a second adjustment groove 233, and the other is provided with a fixing hole 12. The adjustment assembly 23 is connected to the frame 1 by bolts passing through the second adjustment groove 233 and the fixing hole 12.

[0038] The second adjustment groove 233 is formed on the adjustment plate 231, the fixing hole 12 is formed on the frame 1, and the extension directions of the first adjustment groove 11 and the second adjustment groove 233 are parallel.

[0039] The adjusting plate 231 is fastened to the frame 1 by bolts, which is simple and reliable. When adjustment is needed, the adjusting plate 231 can be moved along the second adjusting groove 233 simply by loosening the bolts, which simplifies the adjustment process, reduces the difficulty of adjustment, and makes it convenient for workers to adjust the tension of the chain 21 at any time according to the operation of the conveying device. Adjustment can be made even during the operation of the conveying device.

[0040] Furthermore, a rotating shaft 232 is connected to the sprocket 22, and at least one rotating shaft 232 is connected to a drive motor; the drive motor and the rotating shaft 232 are driven by a belt.

[0041] The belt drive facilitates the transmission between the drive motor and the rotating shaft 232. Furthermore, when the chain 21 gets stuck, the belt slippage can prevent the drive motor from being overloaded, thus protecting the motor.

[0042] The sprocket 22 includes a wheel body 221 and a chain tooth ring 222 detachably connected to the outer circumferential surface of the wheel body 221. The wheel body 221 is made of stainless steel, and the chain tooth ring 221 is made of cast iron.

[0043] The frame 1 is equipped with a detection element for detecting the clamping structure 3, and a magnet is provided on the clamping structure 3. The detection element determines the clamping state of the clamping structure 3 by sensing the magnetic field strength. Therefore, in this application, the sprocket 22 is composed of a stainless steel wheel body 221 and a cast iron chain tooth ring 222, which reduces the area on the sprocket 22 that can be attracted to the magnet, and avoids the clamping structure 3 from being attracted to the sprocket 22 when passing through it, which would cause the conveying device to malfunction.

[0044] Cast iron has good mechanical strength and low price. Using cast iron to make the chain tooth ring 222 can ensure that the sprocket 22 can drive the chain 21 to move well, and can also reduce manufacturing costs.

[0045] Furthermore, in another embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, a weight reduction hole 223 is provided on the wheel body 221.

[0046] Without affecting the structural strength of the sprocket 22, the weight and manufacturing cost of the sprocket 22 are reduced by using the weight reduction hole 223.

[0047] Furthermore, in yet another embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, a transmission block 224 is provided on one of the outer peripheral surface of the wheel body 221 and the inner peripheral surface of the chain tooth ring 222, and a transmission groove 225 is provided on the other. The wheel body 221 drives the chain tooth ring 222 to rotate through the cooperation of the transmission block 224 and the transmission groove 225.

[0048] The transmission block 224 and transmission groove 225 ensure that the wheel body 221 can drive the chain tooth ring 222 to rotate, thus ensuring the normal operation of the conveying device.

[0049] Preferably, the frame 1 is further provided with a support rod 13 corresponding to the straight section of the chain 21, and the support rod 13 is provided with a support groove, in which the chain 21 is embedded and moves.

[0050] Embedding the chain 21 into the support groove can guide the movement of the chain 21. Since the clamping structure 3 needs to be connected to the chain 21, the support groove can also provide support for the chain 21, preventing the chain 21 from drooping due to the clamping structure 3 on the straight part of the chain 21. When the clamping structure 3 is subjected to external force, the support rod 13 can also provide sufficient support for the chain 21 and the clamping structure 3, ensuring that the clamping structure 3 can open smoothly.

[0051] The clamping structure 3 includes a first clamping plate 31, a second clamping plate 32, and a reset connector 33. The first clamping plate 31 and the second clamping plate 32 are rotatably connected to the reset connector 33. There is a clamping space between the first clamping plate 31 and the second clamping plate 32, which is used to accommodate the conduit. One end of the first clamping plate 33 is connected to the connecting plate 2121.

[0052] One end of the first clamping plate 31 is connected to the connecting plate 2121. When it receives an external force, the first clamping plate 31 can remain stationary under the support of the chain 21 and the support rod 13. One end of the second clamping plate 32 is connected to an abutment wheel. When the abutment wheel is subjected to an external force, it will push the end of the second clamping plate 32 with the abutment wheel toward the first clamping plate 31, thereby increasing the opening angle between the first clamping plate 31 and the second clamping plate 32.

[0053] Note that in the description of this specification, references to terms such as "an embodiment," "in other embodiments," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.
