Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of chains for conveying lines, and specifically relates to a roller chain for conveying lines. Background Technology

[0002] Chain conveyor automation plays a crucial role in modern industrial production, particularly in improving production efficiency, adapting to changing market demands, and achieving intelligent manufacturing. Traditional chain conveyor automation uses suspended chains as carriers to continuously and smoothly transport materials or workpieces along a set path to various processing or assembly points. This design optimizes space utilization, reduces floor space occupation, and ensures the continuity and accuracy of material transport.

[0003] When multiple workstations operate simultaneously on the same production line, the operations of each workstation are not completely synchronized, and the start and stop times of materials differ. In order to improve the utilization rate of equipment, the existing solution is to carry out multi-line conveying, that is, to set up multiple sets of drive equipment to drive the materials to be conveyed continuously to their respective workstations. The disadvantages are: large equipment investment, difficult coordination and debugging, and large amount of maintenance work in the later stage.

[0004] In addition, traditional chains rely on friction to achieve synchronous conveying of materials, resulting in significant wear and tear during operation. This leads to frequent maintenance of the chain and affects its service life. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a roller chain for conveying a production line, enabling continuous operation of multiple stations on the same production line with a single drive.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a roller chain for line conveying includes: a transmission chain and a conveying chain, the conveying chain and the transmission chain are coaxially installed, and the transmission chain is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the conveying chain; a main chain roller is provided in the conveying chain, the main chain roller is rotatably installed on the sleeve, and the height of the main chain roller is the highest height of the conveying chain and higher than the height of the transmission chain.

[0007] Furthermore, the locking and fixing component is a shaft coaxially mounted on the conveyor chain and the transmission chain. The sleeve and the support roller are fitted onto the locking and fixing component, and the support roller constitutes the transmission chain.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking and fixing components are provided with limiting grooves at both ends, and the retaining springs are installed in the limiting grooves.

[0009] Furthermore, the locking fastener can be freely disassembled to adjust the chain length.

[0010] Furthermore, the main chain rollers are spaced apart in the conveyor chain.

[0011] Furthermore, adjacent links of the conveyor chain are connected by connecting plates.

[0012] Furthermore, in the chain links of the conveyor chain, there are two sleeves between the two inner chain plates, and at least one sleeve is equipped with a main chain roller.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: Through a rolling chain structure with the main chain roller higher than the production line body, the rotation of the main chain roller enables continuous multi-station operation on a single production line without interruption, significantly reducing investment in drive equipment, realizing multi-purpose functionality on a single line, and greatly improving operational efficiency. Simultaneously, the sliding friction of traditional chains is optimized into rolling friction during line operation, greatly reducing damage to the line itself during chain rotation and increasing the overall service life of the line. This invention has the advantages of simple structure, strong practicality, and convenient assembly and disassembly, and can be widely used in various types of chain-type production conveyor lines.

[0020] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, it will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in this specification. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0021] Example 1: Combination Figure 1-2Understanding: A roller chain for conveying a production line includes: a drive chain 2, which works in conjunction with a drive device to drive the entire conveyor line; a conveyor chain 1, which has a main chain roller 101, which is rotatably mounted on a sleeve 103. The height of the main chain roller 101 is the highest height of the conveyor chain 1 and is higher than the height of the drive chain 2, that is, the height of the main chain roller 101 is higher than the height of the production line body; the conveyor chain 1 and the drive chain 2 are coaxially mounted, and the drive chain 2 is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the conveyor chain 1.

[0022] Brief Description of Working Principle: As a material conveying line for a heliostat production line, heliostats, as the conveyed material, need to be transported to different workstations (A, B, C, etc.) for processing, with varying processing times at each workstation. The heliostats and their frames are placed on the conveyor line, contacting the main chain roller 101, which has the highest point on the line. The drive equipment is activated, and the transmission chain 2 runs synchronously with the conveyor chain 1, using friction to transport the heliostats and their frames to workstation A. At workstation A, the stop mechanism stops the heliostats and their frames to be processed. At this point, the stopped heliostats and their frames experience rolling friction with the main chain roller 101, which rotates around the sleeve 103, reducing friction between the material and the chain. During this process, the conveyor line continues to transport other heliostats and their frames to their corresponding workstations for processing without interfering with each other. This achieves continuous multi-workstation operation with a single drive on a single production line, not only accelerating production efficiency but also optimizing the production line's performance structure. This utility model is not only applicable to material conveying in heliostat production lines, but also to other industrial production lines using chain conveyor chains. With the help of a stop mechanism, it can achieve simultaneous operation of multiple workstations on a single drive and single chain without the need for the chain to stop.

[0023] Example 2: Based on the structure of Example 1, combined with... Figure 3-5 In the conveyor chain 1, two sleeves 103 are provided between two inner chain plates 102 in each link. A main chain roller 101 is mounted on one of the sleeves 103, and the main chain roller 101 rotates freely around the sleeve 103. Adjacent links of the conveyor chain 1 are connected by connecting plates 4. The locking and fixing component 3 is a shaft coaxially mounted on the conveyor chain 1 and the transmission chain 2. The sleeve 103 and the support roller 201 are fitted onto the locking and fixing component 3. The support roller 201 constitutes the transmission chain 2. In use, the support roller 201 is positioned above the sliding profile, driving the entire equipment to move. The locking and fixing component 3 has limiting grooves 301 at both ends, and a retaining spring 5 is installed in the limiting grooves 301 to fix the support roller 201 and the connection between adjacent links. The main chain roller 101 is higher than the two support rollers 201 on both sides, and during the operation of the line, it drives the conveyed material through friction.

[0024] In one embodiment, the main chain rollers 101 are evenly distributed in the conveyor chain 1.

[0025] In one embodiment, the locking fastener 3 can be freely disassembled to adjust the chain length.

[0026] First, a chain of appropriate length is cut and inserted into the slide groove of the production line. The two ends of the chain are fixedly connected by the locking fastener 3 and the retaining spring 5. The chain rotates within the production line via the support roller 201, achieving overall operation. This optimizes the damage to the production line caused by the hard friction of traditional chains. The material to be conveyed is placed above the chain and conveyed by the main chain roller 101, which is higher than the main body of the production line. Stops are set at each workstation of the production line, ensuring continuous chain operation while the conveyed material is being processed at that workstation. The rotation of the main chain roller 101 reduces friction between the material and the chain, ensuring the normal operation of subsequent materials at the preceding and following workstations. This achieves single-drive, multi-station continuous operation on a single production line, not only accelerating production efficiency but also optimizing the production line's performance structure. Specifically, when the chain operates simultaneously at multiple workstations, the free rotation of the main chain roller 101 reduces friction between the chain and the conveying fixture, extending the service life of the production line. The support roller 201 can rotate freely during operation, changing the sliding friction of the traditional chain to rolling friction, greatly reducing wear on the production line profile and further extending its service life.

[0027] Generally, in the chain link design of a roller chain, the inner chain plate refers to a metal plate manufactured by stamping forming process, with positioning holes at both ends. The sleeve refers to a cylindrical hollow component that is interference-fitted with the holes in the inner chain plate. The roller refers to the cylindrical rotatable component outside the sleeve. Referring to the structural configuration of the inner chain plate 102 and sleeve 103 in this application, the main chain roller 101 in this application has been specially designed and, in conjunction with the transmission chain, has undergone overall structural improvement to achieve single-drive multi-station continuous operation on the same production line; and has been optimized to rolling friction to extend service life.

[0028] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
