Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyors, and in particular to a chain belt conveyor. Background Technology
[0002] Chain belt conveyors are a type of conveyor that uses a chain-driven transmission structure to drive a belt in a cyclical motion, thereby conveying materials. They are widely used in various material conveying applications.
[0003] However, when a conveyor is in use, the huge impact force is transmitted to the drive column and transmission chain when the conveyor belt is carrying heavy objects. Existing technologies often use rigid supports or simple buffer designs, which cannot effectively absorb and disperse this impact energy. This causes the transmission chain and drive column to bear huge instantaneous loads, which can easily cause deformation or even breakage of the chain plates and pins, and cracks or deformation of the drive column. This significantly shortens the service life of key components. Furthermore, continuous impact loads and heavy-load operation not only cause instantaneous damage to components, but also cause the transmission chain to be in a high-stress state for a long time, which will accelerate the fatigue wear and plastic deformation of the chain. Ultimately, this manifests as an elongation of the chain pitch, affecting the synchronization and accuracy of the transmission. Replacing the transmission chain also increases maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a chain belt conveyor that can effectively solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A chain belt conveyor includes a first mounting plate, a drive motor, and a second mounting plate. The second mounting plate is located behind the first mounting plate. The drive motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the front end of the first mounting plate. Two drive discs are movably mounted between the first and second mounting plates. Multiple drive columns are snapped onto the outer side of each drive disc. Transmission chains are movably mounted at both ends of each drive column. Transmission belts are sleeved on the outer side of each drive column. Suspension mounting plates are fixedly mounted on the outer side of both the first and second mounting plates. A support mounting plate is fixedly mounted between the two suspension mounting plates. An elastic support structure is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the support mounting plate.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a bottom support plate is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the first mounting plate, and the rear end of the bottom support plate is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the shaft of the drive motor passes through the first mounting plate and is fixedly connected to the shaft of the drive disk. Shaft seats are fixedly installed on the other side of the front end of the first mounting plate and on both sides of the rear end of the bottom support plate. The end of the drive disk is movably connected to the shaft seats.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the suspension mounting plate is arranged in an L-shape, and the support mounting plate is located between the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the elastic support structure includes spring pillars, support mounting frames, and support wheels. Multiple spring pillars are fixedly installed on the upper end of the support mounting plate, and a support mounting frame is fixedly installed on the upper end of every two spring pillars. Support wheels are movably installed on the front and rear of the upper end of the support mounting frame.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the support mounting bracket is located below the top drive column, the support wheels are fitted and connected to the bottom of the drive column, and multiple support wheels are arranged in parallel.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: Through the designed elastic support structure, when the transmission belt carries a heavy load, the impact force is transmitted to the drive column. The support wheel is closely connected to the bottom of the drive column, and the spring support's extension and retraction provide cushioning, significantly reducing impact damage to the transmission chain and drive column, extending the equipment's service life. Simultaneously, the parallel arrangement of the support wheels ensures uniform force distribution, avoiding localized overload and improving the overall load-bearing capacity of the conveyor. It also prevents the transmission chain from being stretched due to impact and prolonged stress, increasing its service life and reducing replacement efficiency and cost. Furthermore, the spring support and support mounting bracket of the elastic support structure can be replaced independently, reducing maintenance costs. The overall layout is compact, suitable for narrow spaces, and improves the equipment's versatility. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a chain belt conveyor is described; please refer to it carefully. Figures 1-4 The system includes a first mounting plate 1, a drive motor 3, and a second mounting plate 4. The second mounting plate 4 is located behind the first mounting plate 1. The drive motor 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the front end of the first mounting plate 1. Two drive discs 5 are movably installed between the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 4. Multiple drive columns 6 are snapped onto the outer side of the drive discs 5. Transmission chains 7 are movably installed at both ends of the drive columns 6. Transmission belts 14 are sleeved on the outer side of the multiple drive columns 6. Suspension mounting plates 8 are fixedly installed on the outer side of both the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 4. A support mounting plate 9 is fixedly installed between the front and rear suspension mounting plates 8. An elastic support structure 10 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support mounting plate 9.
[0020] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 A bottom support plate 2 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the first mounting plate 1, and the rear end of the bottom support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate 4.
[0021] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The shaft of the drive motor 3 passes through the first mounting plate 1 and is fixedly connected to the shaft of the drive disk 5. Shaft seats 15 are fixedly installed on the other side of the front end of the first mounting plate 1 and on both sides of the rear end of the bottom support plate 2. The end of the drive disk 5 is movably connected to the shaft seat 15.
[0022] Specifically, the operation of the drive motor 3 drives the drive disk 5 to rotate, and the drive disk 5 then drives the drive column 6 to move. At the same time, multiple drive columns 6 are connected by a transmission chain 7, so that multiple drive columns 6 move in a cycle around the two drive disks 5. The drive columns 6 then drive the external transmission belt 14 to move in a cycle, thereby using the transmission belt 14 to place and transport materials.
[0023] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1-3 The suspension mounting plate 8 is arranged in an L-shape, and the support mounting plate 9 is located between the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 4.
[0024] Specifically, the support mounting plate 9 serves to install the suspension mounting plate 8 between multiple drive columns 6.
[0025] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The elastic support structure 10 includes spring pillars 11, support mounting frames 12, and support wheels 13. Multiple spring pillars 11 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the support mounting plate 9. A support mounting frame 12 is fixedly installed on the upper end of every two spring pillars 11. Support wheels 13 are movably installed on the front and rear of the upper end of the support mounting frame 12.
[0026] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The support mounting bracket 12 is located below the top drive column 6, and the support wheel 13 is attached to the bottom of the drive column 6. Multiple support wheels 13 are arranged in parallel.
[0027] Specifically, when the drive column 6 and the transmission belt 14 move in a cycle, the contact support wheel 13 is attached to the bottom of the top drive column 6 to support it. When the transmission belt 14 is placed with a heavy object and an impact occurs, the impact force is transmitted to the contact support wheel 13 through the drive column 6. The contact support wheel 13 then presses the support mounting bracket 12 to cause the spring support column 11 to contract. The contraction of the spring support column 11 is used to buffer the impact force, thereby reducing the damage to the transmission chain 7 caused by the impact.
