Detailed Implementation

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0025] First, combine Figures 1-5 This invention describes a conveyor chain tension adjusting device according to an embodiment of the present invention, used to adjust the tension of the conveyor chain 5 on the conveyor frame 4.

[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a conveyor chain tension adjustment device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a frame 1, a drive assembly 2, and an adjustment assembly 3;

[0027] The frame 1 is fixed on the conveyor frame 4;

[0028] The drive assembly 2 includes: a drive mechanism and a drive gear 21;

[0029] The drive mechanism is mounted on the frame 1, and the output end of the drive mechanism is connected to the drive gear 21 for driving the drive gear 21 to rotate.

[0030] The adjustment assembly 3 includes: a telescopic rod 31, an adjustment shaft 32, and an adjustment wheel 33;

[0031] One end of the telescopic rod 31 is fixed to the frame 1, and the output end is connected to the adjusting shaft 32. The adjusting wheel 33 is rotatably mounted on the adjusting shaft 32. An adjusting hole is provided on the frame 1 corresponding to the adjusting shaft 32. One end of the adjusting shaft 32 is slidably mounted in the adjusting hole. The conveying chain 5 passes around the drive gear 21 and the adjusting wheel 33.

[0032] In this application, the conveyor chain 5 passes over the drive gear 21 and the adjusting wheel 33. The adjusting wheel 33 is pushed by the telescopic rod 31. The tension of the conveyor chain 5 is adjusted by changing the magnitude of the pushing force applied by the telescopic rod 31 to change the position of the adjusting wheel 33.

[0033] like Figures 1-4 As shown, it also includes: a first guide wheel 6 and a second guide wheel 7;

[0034] The first guide wheel 6 and the second guide wheel 7 are arranged in parallel, with the first guide wheel 6 located to the left of the second guide wheel 7. The conveyor chain 5 passes sequentially from the right side of the first guide wheel 6, the left side of the drive gear 21, the right side of the adjusting wheel 33, and the left side of the second guide wheel 7.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first guide wheel 6 and the second guide wheel 7 guide the conveyor chain 5 so that the conveyor chain 5 passes around the left side of the drive gear 21 and the right side of the adjusting wheel 33.

[0036] As shown in Figure 5, the drive mechanism includes: a drive motor, a drive shaft 23, and a fixed plate 22;

[0037] One end of the fixing plate 22 is connected to the frame 1 and the other end is connected to the drive motor. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the drive shaft 23, and the drive shaft 23 is connected to the drive gear 21.

[0038] In this embodiment, the drive shaft 23 is driven to rotate by the drive motor, so that the drive gear 21 pushes the conveyor chain 5 to move.

[0039] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the adjustment assembly 3 further includes: a hinge plate 34 and a connecting plate 35;

[0040] The hinge plate 34 is fixed on the frame 1. The hinge plate 34 is hinged to one end of the telescopic rod 31. The conveying end of the telescopic rod 31 is connected to the connecting plate 35. The connecting plate 35 is connected to the adjusting shaft 32.

[0041] The telescopic rod 31 is a nitrogen spring. In this embodiment, the nitrogen spring can continuously apply a thrust to the adjusting wheel 33, automatically adjusting the tension of the conveyor chain 5. Depending on the different conveyor chains 5, the nitrogen spring can adaptively adjust the tension of the conveyor chain 5 to maintain a certain tension.

[0042] Above, refer to Figures 1-4 This invention describes a conveyor chain tension adjustment device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The conveyor chain 5 passes over the drive gear 21 and the adjusting wheel 33. A thrust is applied to the adjusting wheel 33 by a telescopic rod 31. The tension of the conveyor chain 5 is adjusted by changing the magnitude of the thrust applied by the telescopic rod 31 to change the position of the adjusting wheel 33.
