Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0019] Fig. 2 This is a schematic diagram of the self-cleaning component structure in this utility model.

[0020] Fig. 3 This is a schematic diagram of the internal cross-section of the plastic chain plate and the annular conveyor beam in this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figs. 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a ring flexible chain conveyor, including a profile support frame 1, a ring conveying beam 2 at the upper end of the profile support frame 1, a chain plate assembly 3 at the upper end of the ring conveying beam 2, a turning drive sprocket 5 at the inner left end of the ring conveying beam 2, chain grooves on the outer sides of both the turning drive sprocket 5 and the turning driven sprocket 52, a turning driven sprocket 52 at the inner right end of the ring conveying beam 2, and a chain plate self-cleaning assembly 6 at the rear center of the ring conveying beam 2.

[0024] Furthermore, protective railings 4 are provided on both the inner and outer upper perimeters of the annular conveying beam 2 to ensure the safety of the device when conveying items.

[0025] Furthermore, a reducer is located at the lower center of the turning drive sprocket 5. The front flange of the reducer is connected to the drive motor 51, and the rear center of the drive motor 51 has an output shaft connected to the reducer. This ensures smooth operation of the device. The rotational force output by the drive motor 51 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer via the output shaft, and then transmitted to the reducer. The output shaft of the reducer then redirects the reduced rotational force to the turning drive sprocket 5 for rotation.

[0026] Furthermore, the self-cleaning component 6 has a cylinder 61 at its lower end, and a fixing plate 62 at its lower end. The front end of the fixing plate 62 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rear center of the annular conveying beam 2. The cylinder 61 has a telescopic rod 612 at its upper center, and a device block 63 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the telescopic rod 612. A nozzle 631 is located on the lower side of the front end of the device block 63. A hose 632 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the nozzle 631, and an external water pump is threadedly connected to the rear end of the hose 632. When the cylinder 61 at the lower end of the self-cleaning component 6 is activated, it drives the telescopic rod 612 to descend. As the telescopic rod 612 descends, it drives the device... Simultaneously descending, the device block 63 brings the nozzle 631 close to the upper end of the chain plate assembly 3. Then, an external water pump draws in liquid, which enters the pump's interior through suction. The external water pump compresses the liquid through mechanical movement, increasing its pressure. Under the pump's action, the liquid is propelled towards the nozzle 631. The nozzle 631 then sprays the liquid onto the chain plate assembly 3. The chain plate assembly 3, driven by the rotating drive motor 51, ensures that the liquid is evenly sprayed onto each plastic chain plate 31, achieving self-cleaning of the chain plate assembly 3 and washing away dust, particles, and other impurities.

[0027] Furthermore, the annular conveying beam 2 has a groove 21 at its center, and a water-permeable channel 212 at the lower center of the groove 21. The upper left and right sides of the water-permeable channel 212 are provided with ramps 213. The ramps 213 are symmetrically and obliquely arranged. When the self-cleaning component 6 washes the chain plate assembly 3, the water flow will enter the groove 21 inside the annular conveying beam 2 through the gap between the plastic chain plates 31. The water-permeable channel 212 at the lower center of the groove 21 inside the annular conveying beam 2 will drain the water. The ramps 213 on the upper left and right sides of the water-permeable channel 212 help the water flow to the water-permeable channel 212 more quickly through the inclined angle, so that water droplets will not accumulate in the chain plate assembly 3.

[0028] Furthermore, plastic chain plates 31 are evenly distributed among the chain plate assemblies 3. The plastic chain plates 31 are bolted together and have gaps between them. The outer side of each plastic chain plate 31 is coated with a ceramic-based composite coating, which improves the service life of the plastic chain plates 31 and also provides anti-stick and easy-to-clean properties. The plastic chain plates can be cleaned simply by spraying water with the self-cleaning component 6. Each plastic chain plate 31 has a transmission part 32 at its lower end. The shape of the transmission part 32 is adapted to the shape of the groove 21. The transmission part 32 can mesh with the outer side of the turning drive sprocket 5 and the turning driven sprocket 52. The chain plate assembly 3 can rotate and transport items by meshing with the outer chain grooves of the turning drive sprocket 5 and the turning driven sprocket 52 through the transmission part 32.

[0029] Working process: First, the device is turned on. Then, the rotational force output by the drive motor 51 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer through the output shaft, and transmitted to the reducer. The output shaft of the reducer reverses the rotational force after reduction and transmits it to the turning drive sprocket 5 for rotation. Then, the chain plate assembly 3 rotates through the transmission part 32 at the lower end of the plastic chain plate 31 and meshes with the turning drive sprocket 5. The turning driven sprocket 52 rotates through the rotation of the turning drive sprocket 5 and the chain plate assembly 3, thereby driving the entire device to rotate in a circle. After the device has been working for a long time, dust, particles and other impurities will enter the chain plate assembly 3, affecting the service life of the chain plate assembly 3. When the device needs to be cleaned, the cylinder 61 at the lower end of the self-cleaning component 6 will be activated, driving the central telescopic rod 612 to descend. At the same time as the telescopic rod 612 descends, it will drive the device block 63 to descend synchronously. The device block 63 will bring the nozzle 631 close to the upper end of the chain plate assembly 3. Then, the external water pump will... Liquid is drawn in and enters the pump through the pump's suction. The pump compresses the liquid through mechanical movement, increasing its pressure. Under the action of the pump, the liquid is propelled towards the nozzle 631. Under the action of the nozzle 631, the liquid is sprayed onto the chain plate assembly 3. The chain plate assembly 3 rotates continuously through the operation of the drive motor 51, so that the liquid can be evenly sprayed onto each plastic chain plate 31 of the chain plate assembly 3, realizing the self-cleaning work of the chain plate assembly 3, washing away dust, particles and other impurities on the chain plate assembly. At the same time, when the self-cleaning component 6 washes the chain plate assembly 3, the water flow will enter the groove 21 inside the annular conveyor beam 2 through the gaps between the plastic chain plates 31. The water permeable channel 212 at the lower center of the groove 21 inside the annular conveyor beam 2 will drain the water. The slopes 213 on the left and right sides of the upper end of the water permeable channel 212 help the water flow to the water permeable channel 212 more quickly through the inclined angle, so that the water droplets will not accumulate inside the chain plate assembly 3.

[0030] Secondly, the ceramic-based composite coating on the outer side of the plastic chain plate 31 extends its service life while also providing anti-stick and easy-to-clean properties; the plastic chain plate can be cleaned simply by spraying water with the self-cleaning component 6.
