[0028] See attached document Figure 1-4A flexible conveying mechanism suitable for heat treatment furnaces includes a drive module, a guide support assembly 2, a conveying plate 3, and a screw adjustment mechanism 4. The drive module includes two sets of chain conveyors 1 arranged in parallel. These two sets of chain conveyors 1 are not only structurally symmetrical, but also functionally complementary. In order to achieve flexible position adjustment, the lower ends of both sets of chain conveyors 1 are provided with sliding rail groups 5, so that the chain conveyors 1 can slide smoothly on the rails. The screw adjustment mechanism 4 is located at one end of the chain conveyor 1 and is used to precisely adjust the spacing of the chain conveyors 1 to adapt to workpieces of different sizes.

[0029] As a key component of the drive module, the chain conveyor 1 consists of a double chain assembly 101 and a drive motor 102. The double chain assembly 101 is made of high-strength material, which has good wear resistance and high temperature resistance, and can work stably for a long time in the harsh environment of the heat treatment furnace. The front and rear ends of the double chain assembly 101 are supported and connected by a frame 103. The frame 103 not only provides stable support, but also ensures the correct running trajectory of the chain. On the side of the frame 103 near the screw adjustment mechanism 4, there is a slider 104. The slider cooperates with the screw adjustment mechanism 4 to realize the spacing adjustment of the chain conveyor 1.

[0030] The guide support assembly 2 is located between the two chain conveyors 1, and plays a guiding and supporting role to ensure that the conveyor plate 3 remains stable during operation. The lower end of the conveyor plate 3 is connected to the double chain group 101. When the drive motor 102 starts, the double chain group 101 drives the conveyor plate 3 to run along the track of the chain conveyor 1, thereby realizing the conveying of the workpiece.

[0031] The screw adjustment mechanism 4 is a key component for adjusting the spacing of the chain conveyor 1. It consists of a fixed base 401 and two mirror-arranged screws 402. The fixed base 401 is made of sturdy metal material to ensure the stability of the entire adjustment mechanism. The two screws 402 are mirror-symmetrically distributed and are connected to the sliders 104 of the two sets of chain conveyors 1, respectively. By rotating the screws 402, the sliders 104 can be pushed to move on the sliding track group 5, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the spacing of the chain conveyor 1.

[0032] For ease of operation, each screw 402 is equipped with a handwheel 403 at one end. The operator can drive the screw 402 to rotate by rotating the handwheel 403, thereby adjusting the spacing of the chain conveyor 1. The two screws 402 are connected by a bushing 404 at adjacent points, which ensures that the two screws 402 rotate synchronously, thereby ensuring that the spacing adjustment of the two sets of chain conveyors 1 is consistent and avoiding deviation.

[0033] The slider 104 is used to connect the screw adjustment mechanism 4 and the chain conveyor 1. It is connected to the screw 402 by a thread. When the screw 402 rotates, the slider 104 will move along the axial direction of the screw 402. At the same time, the slider 104 is fixed to one side of the frame 103. Thus, when the slider 104 moves, it will drive the frame 103 to move together, thereby realizing the adjustment of the spacing of the chain conveyor 1. The slider 104 is made of high-strength wear-resistant material and can withstand large loads and friction. The slider 104 cooperates with the slide rail of the sliding track group 5 to ensure that the slider 104 moves smoothly and without jamming or deviation.

[0034] The main function of the guide support assembly 2 is to provide guidance and support for the conveyor plate 3, ensuring that it remains stable during operation. It includes two guide rods 201, which are arranged in parallel and located on both sides of the conveyor plate 3. The two ends of the guide rods 201 are provided with fixed frames 202 that are rotatably connected to them. The fixed frames 202 are fixed to the foundation of the equipment by bolts to ensure the stability of the position of the guide rods 201.

[0035] At one end of the guide rod 201 near the screw adjustment mechanism 4, there is a handwheel 203. The operator can drive the guide rod 201 to rotate by rotating the handwheel 203. The guide rod 201 is made of high-strength steel and its surface is specially treated, which has good wear resistance and high temperature resistance. It can work stably for a long time in the harsh environment of the heat treatment furnace. The guide rod 201 is set one-to-one with the conveyor plate 3, and each guide rod 201 corresponds to one conveyor plate 3. This can ensure that each conveyor plate 3 can be accurately guided and supported. A limiting boss 204 is provided on the guide rod 201. The boss cooperates with the limiting groove 301 at the lower end of the conveyor plate 3 to play a role in precise guidance. The limiting boss 204 is made of wear-resistant material and can withstand the weight and friction of the conveyor plate 3 to ensure its long-term stable operation.

[0036] The conveyor plate 3 is the component that directly supports the workpiece, and its lower end has multiple limiting grooves 301. These limiting grooves 301 are wedge-shaped and match the limiting bosses 204 on the guide rod 201. When the conveyor plate 3 is placed on the guide rod 201, the limiting bosses 204 will embed into the limiting grooves 301, thereby achieving precise positioning of the conveyor plate 3. The wedge-shaped design of the limiting grooves 301 not only increases the stability of positioning, but also plays a guiding role during the operation of the conveyor plate 3, ensuring that the conveyor plate 3 moves along the correct trajectory. The number and position of the limiting grooves 301 can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the workpiece to adapt to different production needs.

[0037] The sliding track assembly 5 includes two parallel sliding rails. These two sliding rails are made of high-strength steel and have been precision machined to have good flatness and wear resistance. The lower end of the frame 103 is slidably connected to the sliding rails, so that when the screw adjusting mechanism 4 drives the slider 104 to move, the frame 103 will slide smoothly along the sliding rails, thereby realizing the spacing adjustment of the chain conveyor 1.

[0038] The design of the sliding track group 5 not only ensures that the chain conveyor 1 is stable and smooth during adjustment, but also bears the weight of the chain conveyor 1 and the workpiece, ensuring the stability of the entire mechanism. The two ends of the slide rail are equipped with stops to prevent the frame 103 from going out of range during sliding, thus playing a safety protection role.

[0039] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
