Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chain technology, and in particular to an adaptive multi-pitch transmission irregular chain. Background Technology

[0002] Chains are mostly used for mechanical transmission or traction. They are usually made of metal links or rings. Chains are generally composed of chain plates, chain pins and bushings. The composition of chain components varies depending on the specific application.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number CN202322462612.X describes a low-noise variable pitch chain, including transition links. Limiting blocks are installed on the outer sides of two sets of transition links. An inner link is installed on the front of one set of transition links, and an outer link is installed on the back of the inner link, with the outer link located to the right of the transition links. This device reduces friction between the chain and other components, reduces noise caused by friction, reduces chain wear, and increases the chain's lifespan.

[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned and existing related technologies, the inventor believes that the following defects often exist: When installing the device, tools such as needle-nose pliers are required to install the pin. The cotter pin is not only small in size, but also requires a certain amount of pushing or pulling force during disassembly and assembly. However, the area that needle-nose pliers and other tools can grip on the cotter pin is small, and the chain generally needs to be lubricated. Therefore, when inserting or pulling out the cotter pin, it is easy for the needle-nose pliers to fall off the cotter pin, resulting in the need for multiple attempts and reducing the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the pin. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that in the prior art, tools such as needle-nose pliers are easy to fall off the cotter pin, requiring multiple attempts, which reduces the efficiency of disassembling and assembling the pin. To address this, we propose an adaptive multi-pitch transmission irregular chain.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: an adaptive multi-pitch transmission irregular chain, comprising several outer chain plates, which are arranged in pairs and horizontally opposite each other. An inner chain plate is provided on the inner side of two adjacent outer chain plates near their opposing ends. A pin is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner side of each outer chain plate. A roller is sleeved in the middle of the pin.

Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an adaptive multi-pitch transmission irregular chain, including several outer chain plates 1, which are arranged in pairs and horizontally opposite each other. An inner chain plate 2 is provided on the inner side of adjacent outer chain plates 1 near their opposing ends. Pins 3 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner side of each outer chain plate 1. A roller 4 is sleeved in the middle of the pin 3. The front end of each pin 3 is movably sleeved on the left and right sides of the front of the outer chain plate 1 and extends to the outside. The front end of the side wall of shaft 3 is provided with a first insertion hole 5. The top of the front side of the outer wall of each outer link plate 1 is provided with a first connecting block 6. The left and right sides of the bottom surface of the first connecting block 6 are fixedly connected with pins 7. The two pins 7 are respectively inserted into the adjacent first insertion hole 5. The bottom of the front side of the outer wall of the outer link plate 1 is fixedly connected with a second connecting block 8. The middle of the top surface of the second connecting block 8 is provided with a threaded hole 9. The middle of the first connecting block 6 is threadedly connected with a bolt 10. The lower end of the bolt 10 is threadedly connected into the threaded hole 9.

[0026] In order to allow the pin 3 to be movably sleeved on the front side of the outer link plate 1, the left and right sides of the front side of the outer link plate 1 are provided with outer shaft holes 101, and the front ends of the two pins 3 are respectively inserted into the left and right outer shaft holes 101.

[0027] To allow the front side of the outer link plate 1 to be detached, the inner link plate 2 can be removed from the outer link plate 1. The outer link plate 1 is composed of a first outer link 102 and a second outer link 103. The second outer link 103 is located on the front side of the first outer link 102. Two outer shaft holes 101 are respectively opened on the left and right sides of the second outer link 103. A first connecting block 6 is located on the top of the front side of the second outer link 103, and a second connecting block 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front side of the second outer link 103.

[0028] In order to enable the inner chain plate 2 to rotate on the pin 3, a first inner shaft hole 201 is provided on the left and right sides of the rear side of the inner chain plate 2, and a second inner shaft hole 202 is provided on the left and right sides of the front side of the inner chain plate 2. Each pin 3 is inserted into the adjacent first inner shaft hole 201 and second inner shaft hole 202.

[0029] In order to allow the teeth of the sprocket to be inserted into the inner link plate 2, the inner link plate 2 is composed of a first inner link 203 and a second inner link 204. The second inner link 204 is located on the front side of the first inner link 203. Two first inner shaft holes 201 are respectively opened on the left and right sides of the first inner link 203, and two second inner shaft holes 202 are respectively opened at both ends of the second inner link 204.

[0030] To improve the stability of the lower end of the pin 7, a second insertion hole 801 is provided on both the left and right sides of the top of the second connecting block 8. The lower end of the pin 7 extends through to the outside of the bottom of the pin 3, and the lower ends of the two pins 7 are respectively inserted into the adjacent second insertion holes 801.

[0031] To ensure that the weight of the chain is balanced, a counterweight 11 is fixedly connected to the rear side of each first outer link 102. Wear-resistant rubber strips are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the first connecting block 6, the second connecting block 8, and the counterweight 11.

[0032] In order to accurately and quickly insert the pin 7 into the first socket 5, a guide opening 12 is provided on the top of the outer wall side surface of the pin 3 near the front end. The bottom of the guide opening 12 is connected to the top of the first socket 5, and the guide opening 12 is conical in shape. The guide opening 12 has a structure with a large diameter at the top and a small diameter at the bottom.

[0033] Working principle: During chain assembly and disassembly, a socket wrench can be used to precisely turn bolt 10, unscrewing its lower end from the threaded hole 9. This releases the bolt 10's constraint on the first connecting block 6. Then, pull the first connecting block 6 upwards, allowing the pin 7 to be easily pulled out of the first insertion hole 5, thus releasing the pin 3's fixation. The second outer link 103 can then be easily removed from the pin 3. Conversely, when installing the second outer link 103, first place it on the pin 3, then insert the pin 7 from above into the first insertion hole 5 to fix the pin 3. Next, use a socket wrench to tighten bolt 10, ensuring a tight threaded connection between its lower end and the threaded hole 9, firmly securing the first connecting block 6 and preventing upward displacement, thus completing the stable installation of the second outer link 103 on the pin 3. During the tightening of bolt 10, the socket wrench, due to its tight fit with the bolt head, is less prone to slippage. Even with lubricant applied to the chain surface, it ensures smooth tightening of bolt 10, greatly facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the outer chain plate 1 and significantly improving efficiency. Furthermore, when inserting pin 7 into the first insertion hole 5 from above, the lower end of pin 7 easily inserts into the guide opening 12, which then precisely guides the lower end of pin 7, ensuring accurate insertion into the first insertion hole 5. After chain installation, the first connecting block 6, the second connecting block 8, and the counterweight 11 remain in contact with other components. During chain operation, these components effectively reduce friction between the chain and other components, thereby reducing the chain's wear rate and extending its service life. Simultaneously, the wear-resistant rubber strip reduces noise generated during friction, improving the smoothness and quietness of chain operation.

[0034] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
