[0003] At present, the common chain roller structure mainly consists of roller body and roller shaft, and realizes chain transmission through the rotation of roller body on roller shaft. In traditional design, the cooperation between roller body and roller shaft adopts simple sliding or rolling contact form, and relies on lubricating oil to reduce friction. In the long-term use process, this structure relies on single contact and lubrication mode to maintain operation, and it is difficult to ensure the stable rotation of roller under complex working conditions.

[0025] 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.
[0026] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a robust and durable chain roller, comprising a roller body 1 that rotates around the outer wall of a roller shaft 2 to realize the transmission function of the chain. The inner wall of the roller body 1 is slidably connected to the roller shaft 2, providing rotational support for the roller body 1. At the same time, the inside serves as a sliding track for a sliding ring 6. Both ends of the roller shaft 2 are provided with external threads 3, and both ends of the roller shaft 2 are threadedly connected to threaded limit sleeves 4 through the external threads 3. These limit sleeves 4 are installed at both ends of the roller shaft 2 through threaded connections to firmly fix the chain roller and prevent it from falling off the chain. During installation, a pressure block 11 is applied in conjunction with other structures to achieve self-limitation and prevent it from falling off during use. A bearing 5 is provided on the outer wall of the roller shaft 2 near the inner side of the roller shaft 2. Both sides of the inner wall of the roller body 1 are fixedly connected to the sliding rings 6, which are connected to the internal structure of the roller body 1. When the roller body 1 rotates, the rings slide inside the roller shaft 2, playing a role in transmission and assisting the movement of the roller. The sliding ring 6 is provided with a sliding component inside.
[0027] The sliding assembly includes a limiting ring 7 and balls 8. The limiting ring 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding ring 6, and the balls 8 are rotatably connected inside the sliding ring 6. Distributed inside the sliding ring 6, the sliding friction between the sliding ring 6 and the roller 2 is converted into rolling friction, which greatly reduces friction and improves the running stability of the chain roller. The roller 2 has arc-shaped grooves 9 on both sides inside. The external threads 3 at both ends of the roller 2 are respectively matched with the internal threads of the two threaded limiting sleeves 4. The limiting ring 7 and the balls 8 are slidably connected inside the arc-shaped grooves 9 to limit the sliding ring 6. The limiting ring 7 is located inside the roller 2 and prevents the sliding ring 6 from moving to the end of the roller 2, preventing the sliding ring 6 from detaching from the roller 2 and enhancing the durability of the chain roller.
[0028] Specifically, when the roller body 1 rotates, the structure connected to the sliding ring 6 inside it causes the sliding ring 6 to slide back and forth inside the roller 2. To reduce the frictional resistance during the sliding process, multiple balls 8 are evenly distributed inside the sliding ring 6, forming rolling friction between the sliding ring 6 and the roller 2. Compared with traditional sliding friction, this greatly reduces friction and significantly improves the stability of the chain roller. At the same time, the limiting ring 7 fits tightly inside the roller 2, and its annular structure can effectively prevent the sliding ring 6 from moving to the end of the roller 2, thereby preventing the sliding ring 6 from leaving the internal space of the roller 2 and further enhancing the robustness and durability of the chain roller. At both ends of the roller 2, threaded limiting sleeves 4 are installed by threaded connection, which can firmly fix the chain roller and effectively prevent the chain roller from accidentally falling off the chain, ensuring the reliable operation of the chain drive system.
[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 The bearing 5 is internally slidably connected to the annular limiting plate 12. A reset assembly is provided on one side of the outer wall of the annular limiting plate 12, and a locking block 11 is fixedly connected to the other side of the outer wall of the annular limiting plate 12. The annular limiting plate 12, the locking block 11, and the sliding shaft 10 are linked. When the threaded limiting sleeve 4 is installed, the spring 13 is compressed. When the spring 13 rebounds, the locking block 11 completes the limiting action of the threaded limiting sleeve 4. The reset assembly includes the sliding shaft 10 and the spring 13. One end of the sliding shaft 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the annular limiting plate 12, connecting the annular limiting plate 12 and the locking block 11 to transmit motion. The spring 13 is sleeved on the sliding shaft 10. The outer wall of the sliding shaft 10 is slidably connected to the inside of the bearing 5. The sliding shaft 10 is used to guide the annular limiting plate 12 and the spring 13. One end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the annular limiting plate 12. When the threaded limiting sleeve 4 is installed, it is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. After installation, it releases energy and pushes the locking block 11 to move, thereby limiting and fixing the threaded limiting sleeve 4. The other end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inside of the bearing 5. The outer wall of the locking block 11 is slidably connected to the inside of the threaded limiting sleeve 4 and the bearing 5. Under the action of the spring 13, it is embedded in the groove of the threaded limiting sleeve 4, thereby limiting the threaded limiting sleeve 4.
[0030] Specifically, when installing the threaded limiting sleeve 4, the threaded limiting sleeve 4 is screwed inward along the thread of the roller 2. As the threaded limiting sleeve 4 moves, its inner end face will generate axial pressure on the locking block 11, forcing the locking block 11 to move into the bearing 5. The locking block 11 is connected to the annular limiting plate 12 and the sliding shaft 10 through a linkage structure. Therefore, the movement of the locking block 11 will drive the annular limiting plate 12 and the sliding shaft 10 to move synchronously. During this process, the annular limiting plate 12 compresses the spring 13, causing it to undergo elastic deformation and store elastic potential energy. When the threaded limiting sleeve 4 is screwed in place and the installation is completed, the spring 13 begins to release the stored elastic potential energy, pushing the locking block 11 outward through the annular limiting plate 12 and the sliding shaft 10 until one end of the locking block 11 is embedded in the preset groove inside the threaded limiting sleeve 4. This effectively prevents the threaded limiting sleeve 4 from falling off due to vibration and other factors during the operation of the chain roller, ensuring the integrity and stability of the chain roller structure.
[0031] Working principle: When the chain roller is needed, the roller body 1 will rotate on the outer wall of the roller 2. At this time, the rotation of the roller body 1 will drive the sliding ring 6 to slide inside the roller 2. Since there are multiple balls 8 inside the sliding ring 6, the friction between the sliding ring 6 and the roller 2 can be further reduced, improving stability. The limiting ring 7 can also prevent the sliding ring 6 from falling out of the roller 2, improving its sturdiness and durability. Finally, the threaded limiting sleeves 4 connected by threads at both ends of the roller 2 can further prevent the chain roller from falling out of the chain.
[0032] Furthermore, during the installation of the threaded limiting sleeve 4, the movement of the threaded limiting sleeve 4 will apply pressure to the locking block 11, causing the locking block 11 to move into the interior of the bearing 5. At the same time, the movement of the locking block 11 will also drive the annular limiting plate 12 and the sliding shaft 10 to move together. Thus, the movement of the annular limiting plate 12 will cause the spring 13 to contract. After the threaded limiting sleeve 4 is installed, the spring 13 will rebound, pushing one end of the locking block 11 back into the preset groove inside the threaded limiting sleeve 4, thus limiting the threaded limiting sleeve 4 and preventing it from falling off during use.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
