DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clear and obvious, the utility model is further described in detail below by combining with the drawings and examples.

[0020] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1-2 As shown in the figure, the inclined overlapping chain structure for preventing foreign object entry provided by this utility model embodiment includes several hinged connecting components. Each connecting component includes a roller 13, with inner chain plates 2 on both sides of the roller 13. A pin 5 is connected inside the roller 13, and sleeves 6 are fitted onto both outer sides of the pin 5. A first outer chain plate 1 and a second outer chain plate 14 are respectively provided on both sides of the pin 5 surface. A slanted baffle 3 is provided at one end of the second outer chain plate 14, and a connecting plate 7 is provided at one end of the first outer chain plate 1. The surface of the slanted baffle 3 is in contact with the surface of the connecting plate 7. The included angle between the slanted baffle 3 and the second outer chain plate 14 is 20 degrees. Open pins 4 are connected to both ends of the pin 5.

[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, a sloping overlapping chain structure for preventing foreign object ingress is provided, comprising several sets of link components hinged together in a paired manner. Each link component includes a roller 13, with inner chain plates 2 respectively provided on both sides of the roller 13. A pin 5 passes through the inside of the roller 13, and a sleeve 6 is sleeved on the outside of the pin 5. The sleeve 6 is located between the roller 13 and the inner chain plate 2 to form a rotational fit structure. A first outer chain plate 1 and a second outer chain plate 14 are fixedly connected to both ends of the pin 5, wherein a sloping baffle 3 extends from one end of the second outer chain plate 14, and a connecting plate 7 is provided at one end of the first outer chain plate 1. The surface of the sloping baffle 3 is in contact with the outer surface of the connecting plate 7 in the adjacent link component, and the sloping baffle 3 and the second outer chain plate 14 form a 20° angle. Both ends of the pin 5 are connected to open-end pins 4 for limiting and preventing axial displacement.

[0023] The inclined baffle 3 and the connecting plate 7 form a covering structure through an angular fit. During chain operation, this structure prevents foreign objects from entering the area between the roller 13, pin 5, and sleeve 6 from above the chain, thus avoiding the accumulation of foreign objects in the hinge pair and preventing problems such as roller not rotating or pin jamming. This structure requires no additional seals; the chain protection function is achieved solely through the optimized geometry of the outer chain plate, making it suitable for open chain drive environments.

[0024] By incorporating a sloping baffle 3 with overlapping ramps, an upper shielding zone is formed between adjacent link components during chain operation. This effectively reduces the probability of foreign objects such as dust and particles entering the internal rolling structure, improves the free rotation performance between the rollers and bushings, and reduces energy consumption and wear caused by sliding friction. Simultaneously, by reducing interference from foreign objects, the overall chain's operational stability and service life are improved, and the failure rate of the chain drive system due to chain jamming or derailment is reduced, demonstrating promising industrial application prospects and adaptability.

[0025] likeFigure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting plate 7 has a first threaded hole 10 that penetrates both ends of the surface, the inclined baffle 3 has a second threaded hole 12 that penetrates both ends of the surface, and one end of the first outer chain plate 1 has a threaded groove 11. The threaded groove 11, the first threaded hole 10 and the second threaded hole 12 are connected to the threaded rod 8 by meshing.

[0026] The inclined baffle 3 is detachably connected to the first outer chain plate 1 through the cooperation of the threaded thin rod 8, the threaded groove 11, the first threaded hole 10 and the second threaded hole 12.

[0027] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 7 has a first threaded hole 10 penetrating both ends of the surface, the inclined baffle 3 has a second threaded hole 12 penetrating both ends of the surface, and one end of the first outer chain plate 1 is provided with a threaded groove 11. The threaded groove 11, the first threaded hole 10 and the second threaded hole 12 are connected together by a threaded rod 8. The threaded rod 8 passes through the three threaded structures and is used to detachably install the inclined baffle 3 to the end of the first outer chain plate 1, thereby realizing the overlapping fit between the inclined baffle 3 and the connecting plate 7.

[0028] With this structural design, the inclined baffle 3 is no longer integrally formed with the outer chain plate, but is assembled and connected as an independent component via threaded fastening. This allows the inclined baffle 3, connecting plate 7, and first outer chain plate 1 to be processed, transported, assembled, and replaced as independent components, reducing the processing complexity of parts and the difficulty of assembly coordination, and improving the versatility and modularity of the entire chain structure. Especially in industrial applications, when some chain components are worn or damaged, the damaged parts can be quickly located and replaced individually, avoiding the need for disassembly of the entire chain and significantly improving maintenance efficiency.

[0029] Meanwhile, this improved structure is an extension and upgrade of the original inclined overlapping chain structure. While maintaining the foreign object protection performance, by adding threaded connection components, inclined baffle components can be directly added to the traditional chain structure, so that the original chain has a protective function. It has good backward compatibility and on-site modification adaptability, which is conducive to improving and upgrading the old chain structure without replacing the whole chain.

[0030] In this embodiment, a receiving groove 9 is provided inside the second threaded hole 12, and the shape of the receiving groove 9 is adapted to the head shape of the threaded rod 8. It is used to limit and store the head of the threaded rod 8 when it is tightened. Through this structural design, after the connection operation is completed, the head of the threaded rod 8 can be completely embedded in the receiving groove 9, thereby avoiding problems such as interference, bumping, or foreign object accumulation caused by the exposed head of the threaded rod, and further improving the compactness and smoothness of the chain structure.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
