[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, a quick-release sprocket shaft assembly includes a spline shaft 1, on which a rotating mechanism 2 is mounted. The rotating mechanism 2 includes a bearing seat 201. The two ends of the spline shaft 1 are rotatably connected to the bearing seat 201 via bearings 209. A symmetrical lower sprocket 204 and an upper sprocket 203 are fastened to the outer side of the spline shaft 1. The upper sprocket 203 and the lower sprocket 204 are fastened together by multiple bolts 206. A lubrication mechanism 3 is mounted on the spline shaft 1.

[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, two limiting keys 208 are installed on the outer side of the spline shaft 1. Keyways 207 are respectively provided at the center of the inner side of the upper sprocket 203 and the lower sprocket 204. The keyways 207 engage with the limiting keys 208. After the upper sprocket 203 and the lower sprocket 204 are engaged with the spline shaft 1, the two limiting keys 208 engage with the two keyways 207, thereby limiting the upper sprocket 203 and the feed sprocket.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the upper sprocket 203 and the lower sprocket 204 are respectively provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 205 on their outer edges, and a plurality of bolts 206 are located inside the mounting grooves 205. The mounting grooves 205 are provided to hide the bolts 206, so that the bolts 206 will not affect the sprocket.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the mounting groove 205 has an "L" shaped structure, and one end of the spline shaft 1 extends to the outside of one of the bearing seats 201, which facilitates the installation and removal of the bolt 206 with a wrench, and also facilitates the connection of the spline shaft 1 with an external motor for drive control.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the spline shaft 1 is a stepped shaft, and positioning sleeves 210 are respectively installed at both ends of the spline shaft 1. The positioning sleeves 210 abut against the ends of the upper sprocket 203 and the lower sprocket 204, which is conducive to positioning the upper sprocket 203 and the lower sprocket 204, so that the upper sprocket 203 and the lower sprocket 204 are installed stably and can smoothly follow the rotation of the spline shaft 1.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer sides of both ends of the two bearing seats 201 are detachably connected with pressure caps 202, and oil seals 211 are installed inside the two bearing seats 201 respectively. The installation of the pressure caps 202 is beneficial for protecting the bearings 209 from contact, and the installation of the oil seals 211 is beneficial for preventing oil leakage and coal dust ingress.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, floating seal rings 212 are respectively installed inside the two bearing seats 201. The floating seal rings 212 are connected to the spline shaft 1. The installation of the floating seal rings 212 helps to prevent dust and prevent the bearings 209 from jamming.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the lubrication mechanism 3 includes an oil guide groove 303. The oil guide groove 303 is provided at the center of the spline shaft 1. One end of the oil guide groove 303 extends to the outside of the spline shaft 1. Multiple oil guide holes 302 are provided inside both ends of the spline shaft 1. One end of the oil guide hole 302 extends to the outside of the spline shaft 1, and the other end of the oil guide hole 302 is connected to the oil guide groove 303. The opening of the oil guide groove 303 facilitates the injection of oil into the spline shaft 1. The opening of the multiple oil guide holes 302 facilitates the entry of lubricating oil into the bearing 209 and the floating seal ring 212 for lubrication.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a sealing plug 301 is threadedly connected to one end of the spline shaft 1. The sealing plug 301 extends into the oil guide groove 303. The installation of the sealing plug 301 helps to seal one end of the oil guide groove 303, so that the lubricating oil will not overflow after being injected.

[0031] The upper sprocket 203 has a groove 213 on its side wall, and the lower sprocket 204 has a boss 214 at the center of its side wall. The upper sprocket 203 and the lower sprocket 204 are engaged and connected by the groove 213 and the boss 214. The design of the groove 213 and the boss 214 facilitates the stability of the upper sprocket 203 and the lower sprocket 204 after engagement and also serves as a limiting function.

[0032] In use, this invention first involves installing bearing seats 201 at both ends of the splined shaft 1, respectively, with bearings 209. The splined shaft 1 and bearing seats 201 are rotatably connected. Oil seals 211, floating seal rings 212, and pressure caps 202 are installed on the two bearing seats 201 to ensure stable installation of the splined shaft 1 and bearing seats 201, preventing jamming and reduced lifespan. Then, the two bearing seats 201 are detachably installed inside the conveyor equipment. Next, the upper sprocket 203 and lower sprocket 204 are fastened to the outside of the splined shaft 1 using multiple bolts 206. The design of the slot 213 and the boss 214 facilitates the stable engagement of the upper sprocket 203 and the lower sprocket 204, and also serves as a limiting function. Finally, the scraper conveyor chain is installed to drive the scraper conveyor. During maintenance, the upper sprocket 203 and the lower sprocket 204 can be separated by removing multiple bolts 206 for easy maintenance. By removing the sealing plug 301, it is easy to add lubricating oil to the oil guide groove 303, thereby enabling the lubricating oil to lubricate the bearing 209 and the floating seal ring 212 through the oil guide hole 302, extending the service life of the equipment.
