[0002] Chains are a common component in mechanical equipment, typically consisting of metal links or rings, often used to mesh with gears to form mechanical transmission and traction. During chain manufacturing, the shaped chains need to be conveyed to facilitate subsequent painting or packaging. However, in existing conveyor systems, due to the chain's length, it is susceptible to surface contamination from external environmental factors. If this surface contaminant is not promptly removed, it can negatively impact the performance of subsequent equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above shortcomings, this utility model proposes a chain cleaning and conveying device. By having the first cylinder and the second cylinder rotate in opposite directions, the first brush and the second brush can clean the surface debris of the chain from different directions, thereby improving the chain cleaning effect.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A chain cleaning and conveying device includes: a frame; a first cylinder rotatably mounted on the frame, the first cylinder having a plurality of first brushes inside, a first gear on the outer peripheral wall of the first cylinder, the first gear meshing with a first rack in a vertical direction, and the first rack being connected to a drive mechanism for driving its horizontal movement; a second cylinder rotatably mounted on the frame, the second cylinder having a plurality of second brushes inside, a second gear on the outer peripheral wall of the second cylinder, the second gear meshing with a second rack in a vertical direction; a third rack connected to the first rack, the third rack meshing with a third gear in a horizontal direction, the third gear meshing with a fourth rack, the fourth rack being connected to the second rack, wherein, when the first rack moves, the third gear drives the second rack to move in the opposite direction relative to the first rack.

[0006] The chain cleaning and conveying device according to an embodiment of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: During the process of the chain sequentially passing through the first cylinder and the second cylinder, the driving mechanism drives the first rack to move, causing the first gear to rotate clockwise under meshing action. This causes multiple first brushes inside the first cylinder to rotate continuously to clean the chain. Furthermore, the first rack drives the third rack to move synchronously, causing the third gear to drive the fourth rack to move in the opposite direction. This causes the second gear to rotate counterclockwise under meshing action, causing multiple second brushes inside the second cylinder to rotate continuously in opposite directions to clean the chain. Through the above structure, by rotating the first cylinder and the second cylinder in opposite directions, the first brushes and the second brushes can clean the surface debris of the chain in different directions during chain conveying, which helps to avoid incomplete cleaning of certain parts of the chain, thereby improving the chain cleaning effect.

[0007] Furthermore, the frame includes a placement plate, the placement plate is provided with a plurality of support seats, each of the support seats is provided with a corresponding annular frame, and the first cylinder and the second cylinder are rotatably disposed on the corresponding annular frame.

[0025] See Figures 1 to 3 A chain cleaning and conveying device includes: a frame 100; a first cylinder 110 rotatably mounted on the frame 100, the first cylinder 110 having a plurality of first brushes 111 inside, a first gear 112 being mounted on the outer peripheral wall of the first cylinder 110, a first rack 113 being meshed with the first gear 112 in a vertical direction, and the first rack 113 being connected to a drive mechanism for driving its horizontal movement; and a second cylinder 120 rotatably mounted on the frame 100, the second cylinder 120 having a plurality of second brushes 121 inside. The outer peripheral wall of the second cylinder 120 is provided with a second gear 122, and the second gear 122 is meshed with a second rack 123 in the vertical direction; a third rack 130 is connected to the first rack 113, and the third rack 130 is meshed with a third gear 131 in the horizontal direction. The third gear 131 is meshed with a fourth rack 132, and the fourth rack 132 is connected to the second rack 123. When the first rack 113 moves, the third gear 131 drives the second rack 123 to move in the opposite direction to the first rack 113.

[0026] In the chain cleaning and conveying device with the above structure, as the chain passes through the first cylinder 110 and the second cylinder 120 in sequence, the drive mechanism drives the first rack 113 to move, causing the first gear 112 to rotate clockwise under meshing action. This causes the multiple first brushes 111 inside the first cylinder 110 to rotate continuously to clean the chain. Furthermore, the first rack 113 drives the third rack 130 to move synchronously, causing the third gear 131 to drive the fourth rack 132 to move in the opposite direction. This causes the second gear 122 to rotate counterclockwise under meshing action, causing the multiple second brushes 121 inside the second cylinder 121 to rotate continuously in the opposite direction to clean the chain. With the above structure, the first cylinder 110 and the second cylinder 120 rotate in opposite directions, so that the first brush 111 and the second brush 121 can clean the surface debris of the chain in different directions during the chain conveying process. This helps to avoid the phenomenon of incomplete cleaning in some parts of the chain, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the chain.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 3 Furthermore, the frame 100 includes a placement plate 101, which is provided with a plurality of support seats 140. Each support seat 140 is provided with a corresponding annular frame 141. The first cylinder 110 and the second cylinder 120 are rotatably mounted on the corresponding annular frame 141, which facilitates the installation of the first cylinder 110 and the second cylinder 120 and is beneficial for cleaning as the chain passes through the first cylinder 110 and the second cylinder 120 in sequence.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 3 Furthermore, the support base 140 includes two support rods 142, which are respectively connected to the two side walls of the annular frame 141. The lower ends of the two support rods 142 are connected to a crossbar 143, which is connected to the placement plate 101. Thus, the two support rods 142 are used to improve the support capacity of the support base 140, which is beneficial to the better rotation of the first cylinder 110 or the second cylinder 120.

[0029] Furthermore, the annular frame 141, support rod 142, and crossbar 143 are an integral structure. Specifically, the annular frame 141, support rod 142, and crossbar 143 can be fixed together by welding, and the crossbar 143 can also be fixed to the placement plate 101 by welding, which helps the support base 140 to better support the first cylinder 110 or the second cylinder 120.

[0030] See Figures 1 to 3Furthermore, the placement plate 101 is provided with a first sliding groove 102 and a second sliding groove 103 arranged in parallel. The first rack 113 is provided with a first protrusion that cooperates with the first sliding groove 102, and the second rack 123 is provided with a second protrusion that cooperates with the second sliding groove 103. Specifically, the cooperation between the first protrusion and the first sliding groove 102 guides and limits the movement of the first rack 113, which helps to prevent the first rack 113 from deviating during movement. Similarly, the cooperation between the second protrusion and the second sliding groove 103 can also guide and limit the movement of the second rack 123.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 3 Furthermore, the driving mechanism is a cylinder 200, and an L-shaped plate 210 is connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 200. One end of the L-shaped plate 210 is connected to the first rack 113 by bolts. The cylinder 200 drives the first rack 113 to reciprocate along the length of the first slide groove 102. Specifically, in use, the telescopic end of the cylinder 200 drives the first rack 113 to reciprocate, and the first rack 113 drives the second rack 123 to rotate in the opposite direction through the third gear 131, thereby driving the first cylinder 110 and the second cylinder 120 to rotate continuously, which is beneficial for the first brush 111 and the second brush 121 to clean the chain better.

[0032] Furthermore, the first cylinder 110 has multiple arc-shaped plates arranged circumferentially inside, each arc-shaped plate being connected to the first cylinder 110 by bolts. Multiple first brushes 111 are distributed circumferentially on the inner circumferential wall of each arc-shaped plate. Specifically, fixing the arc-shaped plates by bolts facilitates quick installation of the first brushes 111 and also makes subsequent maintenance or replacement of the first brushes 111 easier. It is understood that the multiple first brushes 111 can be fixed to the arc-shaped plates by adhesive bonding or injection molding. In addition, the installation method of the second brush 121 is the same as that of the first brushes 111, and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 Furthermore, one end of the first cylinder 110 is rotatably fitted onto the outside of the second cylinder 120, thereby facilitating their mutual engagement to allow the chain to pass through. In some embodiments, two support bases 140 may be provided, with one end of the first cylinder 110 rotatably mounted on one support base 140, the other end of the first cylinder 110 fitting into one end of the second cylinder 120, and the other end of the second cylinder 120 rotatably mounted on the other support base 140, thereby facilitating the use of the first cylinder 110 and the second cylinder 120.

[0034] Furthermore, the first rack 113 and the third rack 130 are integrally formed, as are the second rack 123 and the fourth rack 132. Specifically, the first rack 113 and the third rack 130 can be integrally formed by injection molding or by welding, which helps to improve the connection strength between the first rack 113 and the third rack 130. It is understood that the second rack 123 and the fourth rack 132 can also adopt a similar structure, which will not be described in detail here.

[0035] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
