Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chain adjustment technology, specifically a chain tension adjustment device. Background Technology
[0002] In mechanical equipment that uses chains for power transmission, chain tension is crucial for the normal operation of the equipment. Traditional chain tension adjustment methods have many shortcomings. Some simple adjustment devices rely on manual disassembly and assembly of the chain, resulting in low adjustment accuracy and difficulty in accurately controlling the chain tension. Furthermore, during equipment operation, factors such as vibration can cause the tension to change again. In addition, some adjustment devices have complex structures, high manufacturing costs, and are difficult to install and maintain, making them unsuitable for widespread application in actual production. Moreover, there is no suitable cleaning structure for the chain during operation, leading to a large amount of oil and grease buildup later on. Utility Model Content

[0015] 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.
[0016] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0017] Example 1: A chain tension adjustment device includes a mounting cover 1 with through-holes at both ends. The inner walls of both sides of the mounting cover 1 are rotatably connected to rotating rods 2 via bearings. The rod walls of the rotating rods 2 are fixedly connected to sprockets 3. One of the rotating rods 2 passes through the mounting cover 1 and is fixedly connected to a drive motor 4. The sprockets 3 are connected to the chain ring 5 for transmission. The drive motor 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting cover 1 on the side away from the sprockets 3 via a bracket.
[0018] When using the chain ring 5, the drive motor 4 is started by connecting an external power source. The output of the drive motor 4 drives the rotating rod 2 to rotate through the bearing. When the rotating rod 2 rotates, it synchronously drives the sprocket 3 to rotate. The sprocket 3 will drive the chain ring 5 to rotate, making it convenient for operation.
[0019] Example 2: The technical solution of this example, which differs from that of Example 1, includes: a groove 6 is opened on one side of the mounting cover 1, and the mounting cover 1 is rotatably connected to a bidirectional lead screw 7 through a bracket and bearings. Both sides of the bidirectional lead screw 7 are threadedly connected to a first threaded sleeve 8. One side of the first threaded sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to a slider 9, which is slidably connected in the groove 6. The end of the first threaded sleeve 8 away from the bracket is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 10. The connecting rod 10 is U-shaped and fixedly connected to the first threaded sleeve 8. The connecting rod 10 passes through the connecting hole and is fixedly connected to a mounting bracket 11. The mounting bracket 11 is rotatably connected to an adjusting wheel 12 through a bearing. A screw 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the middle part of the mounting cover 1. The wall of the screw 13 is threadedly connected to a second threaded sleeve 14. Different sized cleaning round brushes 15 are fixedly connected to both sides of the second threaded sleeve 14.
[0020] When adjusting the chain, an external tool drives the bidirectional lead screw 7 to rotate. Simultaneously, the bidirectional lead screw 7 rotates, driving the first threaded sleeve 8. The first threaded sleeve 8 moves in the opposite direction on the wall of the bidirectional lead screw 7 under the sliding limit action of the sliding groove 6 and the slider 9. Simultaneously, the movement of the first threaded sleeve 8 drives the connecting rod 10 to move through the moving hole. The movement of the connecting rod 10 drives the mounting bracket 11 to move until the adjusting wheel 12 inside the mounting bracket 11 contacts the chain ring 5 for adjustment. At the same time, the second threaded sleeve 14 is rotated according to the adjustment of the chain ring 5. The second threaded sleeve 14 drives the cleaning brush 15 to move on the wall of the screw 13, thereby selecting the appropriate cleaning brush 15 to clean the chain ring 5.
[0021] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
