Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lifting equipment technology, specifically a lifting device with a chain transmission mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In locations such as thermal power plants, smelters, cement plants, ports, and mines, bulk materials such as coal, coke, and ore are often transported by train. Bulk materials transported by train are generally unloaded using tippers. When a tipper is in operation, the heavily loaded cars entering the tipper must be separated from the cars behind them before the tipping operation can begin. The separation of the train cars is typically performed by uncoupling equipment, and after unloading, recoupling equipment is used to re-couple them. In practice, both the uncoupling and recoupling equipment need to be mounted on a lifting device for easy vertical adjustment.
[0003] In practical applications, existing lifting equipment often has the following drawbacks: The equipment is difficult to maintain stable lifting and lowering for extended periods in high dust concentration working environments.
[0004] Lifting platforms are prone to swaying left and right during the lifting process.
[0005] The level of the lifting platform is not easy to adjust. Utility Model Content

The outer end of the adjusting pulleys is provided with rollers that roll vertically along the inner wall of the guide rail grooves. Chains are connected between the top and bottom ends of the two side walls of the lifting frame, with the top and bottom ends of the chains passing over the upper and lower sprockets respectively. A power component for driving the upper rotating shaft to rotate is provided at the top of the frame.
[0008] Preferably, the lifting frame has locking blocks on both sides of its top and bottom ends, the adjusting pulley includes a C-shaped part, the inner end of the C-shaped part is slidably engaged with the locking block in the horizontal direction, the two ends of the roller's central shaft are respectively rotatably sleeved on the front and rear walls of the outer end of the C-shaped part's inner cavity, the middle part of the inner wall of the C-shaped part is provided with a threaded hole that matches the threaded engagement of the tensioning screw, and the end of the tensioning screw is rotatably sleeved on the locking block.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model relates to a lifting device with a chain transmission mechanism, which drives the lifting platform to move vertically up and down through sprockets and chains, eliminating the need for complex steering mechanisms and saving equipment space. In addition, the chain transmits power through the meshing of chain links and sprockets, which has the advantage of being less prone to slippage compared to belt drives, and can maintain a precise movement trajectory and speed. The metal chain has a compact structure, low friction loss during transmission, and high transmission efficiency, so as to ensure that the lifting equipment can work for a long time in complex working conditions such as high dust, oil, high and low temperatures, and has a long maintenance cycle.
[0012] 2. In the lifting device with chain transmission mechanism involved in this utility model, the guide wheel cooperates with the guide rail groove, and the roller in the adjusting pulley contacts the inner wall of the rail groove. By adjusting the adjusting pulley to slide horizontally along the lifting frame, it is easy to adjust the overall horizontal state of the lifting platform, thereby making it easy to ensure that the entire lifting platform can move vertically stably.
