Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The chain belt conveyor has the advantages of long conveying distance, high conveying efficiency and stable operation, and is often used to convey articles in various industries. The chain belt conveyor is driven by a speed reducer, the input end of the speed reducer is driven by a motor, and the motor is usually installed on one side of the speed reducer, and the motor axis is perpendicular to the output hole axis of the speed reducer.
[0003] The output hole of the speed reducer is connected to the driving shaft of the chain belt conveyor through a flat key, and because it is single-key groove transmission, the key groove is at different circumferential positions, and the flat key is in different stress states, causing the motor to swing.
[0004] In addition, the chain belt conveyor can realize bidirectional transmission, and the start is also relatively frequent, and the additional torque caused by the motor may be opposite to the direction of the output torque of the speed reducer, or may be the same. The flat key of the output end of the speed reducer bears a large alternating stress, and is easily damaged, and the damage is usually caused by looseness between the driving shaft and the output hole of the speed reducer. The traditional solution is to improve the matching precision between the driving shaft, the flat key and the output hole of the speed reducer, which brings certain difficulty to assembly, but still cannot solve the problem. Another solution is to purchase a motor installed on the top of the speed reducer to reduce the distance between the center of gravity of the motor and the output shaft of the speed reducer, which limits the selection range of the driving mechanism, increases the procurement cost, and also limits the installation environment on site.

[0024] In the following description of the utility model, the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "inner", "outer" and the like is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and does not mean that the device must have a particular orientation.
[0025] In order to make the technical means, creative features, purposes and effects achieved by the utility model easy to understand, the utility model is further described below in combination with specific drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments.
[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the utility model belongs. The terms used in the specification of the utility model herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the utility model.
[0027] As Figure 1 , Figure 2The utility model discloses a chain belt conveyor, which comprises a rack 1, side plates 1a parallel to each other arranged on both sides of the rack 1, supporting legs 2 fixed to the outer walls of the side plates 1a to support on the ground, and the supporting legs 2 on both sides are connected into a whole through a cross bar 3. One end of the rack 1 is provided with a driving shaft 4, and the other end of the rack 1 is provided with a driven shaft. The driving shaft 4 and the driven shaft are supported on the side plates 1a of the rack 1 through bearings respectively. The axes of the driving shaft 4 and the driven shaft are parallel to each other. The driving shaft 4 is provided with a driving sprocket, and the driven shaft is provided with a driven sprocket. The driving sprocket and the driven sprocket are wrapped with a conveying chain 7. The rack 1 and the conveying chain 7 form a straight conveying machine extending in a straight line. Under the driving of the driving sprocket, the conveying chain 7 carries the articles to advance, passes through the driven sprocket, enters a return section, and advances towards the driving sprocket, and the cycle is repeated.
[0028] The speed reducer hanging plate 8 is a Z-shaped bent thin plate. The lower part of the speed reducer hanging plate 8 is fixed on the side plate 1a of the rack 1 through screws. The middle part of the speed reducer hanging plate 8 is bent outward. The upper part of the speed reducer hanging plate 8 is bent upward and has a width greater than that of the lower part. The upper part of the speed reducer hanging plate 8 is provided with a hanging plate through hole. The driving shaft end of the driving shaft 4 passes through the hanging plate through hole and is fixedly connected with the output end shaft hole of the speed reducer 5 through a flat key 4a. The outer periphery of the hanging plate through hole is uniformly provided with a plurality of speed reducer fixing holes. Screws pass through the speed reducer fixing holes to fix the shell of the speed reducer 5 on the upper part of the speed reducer hanging plate 8.
[0029] The Z-shaped bent thin plate of the speed reducer hanging plate 8 is convenient for screw fixing. The Z-shaped bending not only plays the role of a reinforcing rib, but also improves the strength and torsional resistance of the thin plate, while still maintaining good elasticity. The Z-shaped bent thin plate can compensate for the positioning error between the side plate 1a, the speed reducer shell and the driving shaft 4. The lower part of the Z-shaped bent thin plate can be fixed on the side plate 1a through screws, and the upper part of the Z-shaped bent thin plate can be fixed on the speed reducer shell through screws, so that the driving shaft 4 is not stuck.
[0030] In addition, although the Z-shaped bent thin plate is relatively thin, it has a relatively wide width and can withstand a large torque in its own plane. The additional torque caused by the installation of the motor 6 on one side of the speed reducer 5 can be completely borne by the Z-shaped bent thin plate, and the additional torque will not be transmitted to the flat key 4a of the driving shaft 4. The reaction force generated by the driving of the driving shaft 4 by the speed reducer 5 through the flat key 4a is also completely borne by the Z-shaped bent thin plate, so that the equipment is not damaged prematurely due to bidirectional transmission or frequent starting.

The cooperation of the expansion sleeve 4b and the tapered expansion plug 4c can not only play the role of automatic centering, but also ensure that the expansion sleeve 4b is tightly matched with the output hole of the speed reducer 5, can withstand a certain torque, and can further prolong the service life of the flat key 4a.
[0032] The inner end surface of the expansion sleeve 4b is uniformly provided with radial tenons, and each radial tenon is correspondingly embedded in the embedding groove of the input shaft end of the transmission shaft. The cooperation of the radial tenon and the embedding groove can not only position the expansion sleeve 4b radially, but also transmit torque, further improving the stability of the equipment operation and the production line.
[0033] As shown in the drawings, Figure 4 The driving shaft end of the driving shaft 4 is provided with a flat key 4a and is inserted into the output hole of the speed reducer 5, the driving shaft end is provided with a reduced diameter section, the reduced diameter section is provided with an expansion sleeve 4b which is narrow inside and wide outside, and a screw is screwed into the central screw hole of the input shaft end through the central hole of the expansion sleeve 4b to expand the expansion sleeve 4b in the output hole of the speed reducer 5. By tightening the screw, the tapered expansion plug 4c is squeezed inward until the outer circumference of the tapered expansion plug 4c is expanded with the output hole of the speed reducer 5, so that the shaft is completely combined with the output hole of the speed reducer 5 firmly, and no longer relies on the force transmission of the key, solving the problem of different force directions at different positions of the key transmission.
[0034] As shown in the drawings, Figure 5 The speed reducer 5 is fixed on the rack 1 through a speed reducer hanging plate 8, the lower center of the speed reducer hanging plate 8 is fixed on a short shaft, the root of the short shaft is supported on the rack 1 through a bearing; the upper center of the speed reducer hanging plate 8 is provided with a hanging plate through hole, the driving shaft end of the driving shaft 4 passes out of the hanging plate through hole; the upper part of the speed reducer hanging plate 8 is distributed with bolt holes for fixing the speed reducer 5, and each bolt hole is distributed on the circumference coaxial with the hanging plate through hole. The speed reducer hanging plate 8 adopts a straight thin plate and the lower end can rotate around the short shaft, keeping good elasticity, and at the same time can compensate the positioning error between the side plate 1a, the speed reducer shell and the driving shaft 4.
[0035] As shown in the drawings, Figure 6 The rack 1 and the conveying chain 7 of the chain conveyor of the utility model extend along an S-shaped curve, that is, an S-bend conveyor. The structure of the driving shaft end of the driving shaft 4 of the S-bend conveyor is the same as that of the straight-line conveyor, which will not be repeated here.
