Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of plate chain conveyors, and specifically to a novel plate chain conveyor. Background Technology
[0002] Chain conveyors are widely used material conveying equipment in industrial production, commonly found in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. They can transport materials of various shapes and properties, such as lumps, granules, and powders. Furthermore, their compact structure facilitates installation and maintenance, playing a significant role in improving production efficiency and reducing labor intensity for enterprises. While chain conveyors offer convenient material transport, oil and impurities from the material surface can easily adhere to the chain plates during transport, hindering cleaning and maintenance.
[0003] A patent publication with publication number CN222770137U, entitled "Chain Plate Conveyor," was found, specifically disclosing a chain plate conveyor including a frame, guide rails, a support, a drive motor, hoppers, chains, a tensioning device, and a cleaning device. The guide rails are mounted on the surface of the frame. A drive motor is mounted on one side of the frame. A support is mounted on the lower surface of the frame. Hoppers are mounted on the surface of the frame. A tensioning device is mounted on the side of the frame near the hoppers. A chain is mounted on the side of the frame near the tensioning device. The cleaning device is located on the lower surface of the frame and includes a rotating mechanism. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the frame body. A nozzle is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod, and multiple water outlets are opened on the surface of the nozzle. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the side of the frame body near the nozzle, and a water tank is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixing rod. A filter plate is installed on the surface of the water tank, and a water pump is fixedly connected to one side of the water tank. A pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the water tank near the nozzle. By setting up a cleaning device, it is easy to clean the chain plate, reducing the situation where materials and impurities stick to the chain plate and are difficult for users to clean, improving the maintenance efficiency of the equipment, reducing the failure rate of the equipment, and making it convenient to use.
[0004] Analysis of the publicly available materials shows that although the plate chain can be cleaned, the structure is too complex and the cleaning residue is inconvenient to handle because the filter screen is located below the plate chain, making it inconvenient to remove and place.

A water pump 3 is installed on the cleaning box 2, which enables water resource recycling. A filter screen 7 is installed in the cleaning box 2 to filter the cleaned residue. To facilitate the cleaning of residue on the filter screen 7, a cleaning device is provided in this technology. Specifically, the cleaning device includes a scraper 9, which is connected to a belt 15. Under the action of the belt 15, the scraper 9 reciprocates to clean the filter screen 7. The belt 15 is connected to a drive wheel 14 and a driven wheel 16. The drive wheel 14 is connected to a motor 13. Under the forward and reverse action of the motor 13, the drive wheel 14 rotates in a forward direction. Example
[0028] The water pump 3 is located outside the cleaning box. The water inlet of the water pump 3 is connected to the water supply pipe 4. The bottom of the water supply pipe 4 extends into the water. The water outlet of the water pump 3 is connected to the main water pipe 5 through a pipe. The main water pipe 5 is set horizontally and is located below the plate chain. The nozzle 6 is set at an angle, tilting upwards towards the plate chain.
[0029] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the water pump 3 is located outside the cleaning tank 2. The water inlet of the water pump 3 is connected to the water pipe 4 to draw water from the cleaning tank 2 into the water pump 3. Then, the water outlet of the water pump 3 is connected to the main water pipe 5. The water pump 3 transports water to the main water pipe 5. Several nozzles 6 are set on the main water pipe 5. By setting the nozzles 6, the plate chain can be rinsed. The plate chain being rinsed runs to the outer side of the plate chain below. Example
[0030] The filter screen 7 has several holes for filtering residues, and the filter screen 7 is fixed to the inner side of the cleaning box 2.
[0031] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the filter screen 7 is horizontally arranged and has mesh holes for filtering impurities. Example
[0032] The cleaning box 2 is provided with a cleaning port 10, which is located below both ends of the filter screen 7 to facilitate the cleaning of residues on the filter screen 7.
[0033] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, a strip-shaped hole is provided on the external part of the cleaning box 2 corresponding to the filter screen 7 to facilitate the cleaning of impurities. Example
[0034] The scraper 9 is horizontally arranged, with its lower end face in contact with the upper end face of the filter screen 7. The scraper 9 is fixedly connected to the belt 15, and both ends of the scraper 9 are slidably connected to the slide rail 8.
[0035] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, in order to achieve smooth operation of the scraper 9, slide rails 8 are connected to both ends of the scraper 9. Example
[0036] The driving wheel 14 is positioned above the driven wheel 16 and is located in the middle. The driven wheel 16 is mounted on the inner side of the cleaning box via a frame. Both the driving wheel 14 and the driven wheel 16 are belt pulleys.
[0037] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, both the driving wheel 14 and the driven wheel 16 are belt pulleys 15. Example
[0038] A waterproof cover 11 is provided above the drive wheel 14. The waterproof cover 11 has a triangular structure and is connected to the rotating shaft 12 by a bearing.
[0039] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, to prevent impurities and water from affecting the belt 15, a waterproof cover 11 is provided above the drive pulley 14. Example
[0040] The bottom of the cleaning box 2 is inclined, and the water pipe 4 slopes upwards.
[0041] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the bottom of the cleaning tank 2 is set as an inclined structure to facilitate water collection at the water inlet pipe 4.
[0042] The working method (or working principle) of this utility model:
[0043] When this technology is in operation, if cleaning of the plate chain is required, water pump 3 and motor 13 are started. Under the action of water pump 3, water in cleaning tank 2 enters water pump 3 from water inlet pipe 4, and then enters main water pipe 5 from water pump 3. It is then sprayed out through nozzle 6 on main water pipe 5 to rinse and clean the outer surface of the plate chain running below. The water here can be replaced with detergent, depending on the material being transported by the plate chain, as long as it is convenient for cleaning. After the nozzle 6 cleans the impurities on the plate chain, the water falls onto filter screen 7 and is filtered by filter screen 7. Under the action of motor 13, the drive wheel 14 rotates, and the drive wheel 14 drives belt 15 to rotate, thereby realizing the reciprocating motion of scraper 9, so that the impurities on filter screen 7 are cleaned to both sides, and then cleaned through cleaning port 10.
[0044] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components or an interaction between two components. Unless otherwise explicitly limited, those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0045] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
