[0023] Tubular chain conveyors are a common type of grain transport equipment used in grain storage and processing. Current technology typically involves first installing a support frame to carry the tube body and drive section at a high altitude, such as in tall, flat warehouses or shallow circular warehouses, before fixing the tube body and drive section. However, because the drive section of a tubular chain conveyor contains a drive motor and is heavy, using traditional gantry-type support frames is not conducive to fixing the drive section, making construction difficult.

[0024] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a tubular chain conveyor structure that offers high installation accuracy and low installation difficulty.

[0025] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 15 This application describes a tubular chain conveyor according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one embodiment of this application discloses a tubular chain conveyor structure, including a tubular chain conveyor body 100 and an installation mechanism 200. The tubular chain conveyor body 100 includes a tube body 110; the installation mechanism 200 is used to mount the tubular chain conveyor body 100 to an external crossbeam 300, and includes an adjustable hanger unit 210 for mounting the tube body 110. The adjustable hanger unit 210 includes a tube support 211 for supporting the tube body 110; the adjustable hanger unit 210 also includes an adjustment component 213 and a first hanger 212. The adjustable hanger unit 210 is fixedly connected to the external crossbeam 300 via the first hanger 212, and the tube support 211 is movably connected to the first hanger 212 via the adjustment component 213.

[0027] In other words, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tubular chain conveyor structure includes a tubular chain conveyor body 100, which includes a drive section 120, a tension section 130, a steering section 140, and several tubes 110. The tubes 110 are coaxially connected to each other, and the tubes 110 are also coaxially connected to the drive section 120, tension section 130, and steering section 140, forming a complete assembly. Figure 1The diagram shows a closed-loop annular structure. A scraper chain is installed within the pipe body 110, moving within it to transport fine particles such as grain. Please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 Some pipes 110 have upward-facing inlets 112, while others have downward-facing outlets 113. The pipes 110 with inlets 112 are aligned with the upper outer inlet chute 500 to receive grain and transport it along a preset route. The pipes 110 with outlets 113 are aligned with the lower outer outlet chute 600 to deliver grain to the next transport pipeline or into the grain silo. During the grain transport process, the drive joint 120 is used to drive the scraper chain to circulate within the pipe 110, thereby propelling the material forward. The tension joint 130 is used to adjust the tension of the scraper chain, and the steering joint 140 is used to adjust the movement path of the scraper chain.

[0028] The tubular chain conveyor structure also includes a mounting mechanism 200 for mounting the tubular chain conveyor body 100 onto the outer crossbeam 300. To ensure the coaxiality of the connection between the tube body 110 and the drive section 120, tension section 130, and steering section 140, and to prevent jamming, uneven wear, or tooth skipping of the scraper chain during operation, the mounting mechanism 200 includes an adjustable hanger unit 210 for mounting the tube body 110. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the adjustable hanger unit 210 includes a pipe support 211, an adjustment component 213, and a first bracket. The adjustable hanger unit 210 is fixed to the external crossbeam 300 via the first bracket. The pipe support 211 is used to support the pipe body 110. The pipe support 211 is movably connected to the first bracket via the adjustment component 213. The crossbeam 300 and the first bracket are fixed. The position of the pipe support 211 can be changed by the adjustment component 213, thereby changing the position of the pipe body 110 to adapt to the positions of the drive joint 120, tension joint 130, and steering joint 140, improving the installation accuracy of the pipe body 110. With the support of the pipe support 211, the installation deviation of the pipe body 110 caused by gravity during the installation process is effectively avoided, reducing the installation difficulty of the pipe body 110.

[0029] like Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the mounting mechanism 200 also includes a hanger mounting unit 240. The hanger mounting unit 240 includes hanger tie rods 241 and second hangers 242. Multiple second hangers 242 and hanger tie rods 241 are present. The second hangers 242 are used to mount the drive joint 120, tension joint 130, and steering joint 140. The second hangers 242 are cage-type hangers, with each second hanger 242 corresponding to one of the drive joint 120, tension joint 130, or steering joint 140. Each second hanger 242 is mounted on the external crossbeam 300 via four hanger tie rods 241. The installation steps for the drive joint 120, tension joint 130, and steering joint 140 are as follows: Figure 11 As shown, the hanger tie rod 241 is fixedly installed on the external crossbeam 300; as Figure 12 As shown, one of the three components—drive joint 120, tension joint 130, and steering joint 140—is fixedly installed on the second hanger 242; a temporary lifting beam 243 is set on the adjacent hanger tie rod 241, and the lifting beam 243 is temporarily spot-welded to the hanger tie rod 241; four hand chain hoists 244 are installed on the lifting beam 243, and the lifting chains of the four hand chain hoists 244 are fixed to the four corners of the second hanger 242; as shown... Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, four chain hoists 244 are operated simultaneously to lift the second hanger 242, bringing it close to the hanger rod 241. The second hanger 242 is then securely connected to the hanger rod 241. The lifting beam 243, which is spot-welded to the hanger rod 241, is then removed to complete the installation of the entire hanger installation unit 240. In this way, by configuring the second hanger 242, which houses heavier components such as the drive unit 120, tension joint 130, and steering knuckle 140, as a cage-type hanger, and using the lifting beam 243 and chain hoists 244 to lift the cage-type hanger, the installation difficulty of these heavier components is reduced.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the adjusting assembly 213 includes a support plate 2131 and an adjusting screw 2132. The pipe support 211 is connected to the support plate 2131 via the adjusting screw 2132. That is, the fixed end of the adjusting screw 2132 is fixedly connected to the pipe support 211, and the movable end of the adjusting screw 2132, away from the fixed end, passes through the support plate 2131. The support plate 2131 is mounted on the first bracket. The movable end of the adjusting screw 2132 can adjust the length passing through the support plate 2131, thereby adjusting the distance between the pipe support 211 and the first bracket, thus changing the vertical position of the pipe body 110. In addition, the horizontal position of the support plate 2131 on the first bracket can be moved, thereby changing the horizontal position of the pipe body 110. Once the positions of the pipe body 110 in both the horizontal and vertical directions are adjusted to suitable positions, the support plate 2131 and the first bracket are welded and fixed. It is understood that the support plate 2131 may have a screw hole corresponding to the adjusting screw 2132. The adjusting screw 2132 passes through the screw hole, and rotating the adjusting screw 2132 can change the length of the adjusting screw 2132 extending out of the support plate 2131. The support plate 2131 and the first bracket can be fixedly connected to the first bracket by means other than welding, such as threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, etc., which are easily conceived by those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be elaborated here. Figure 2 As shown, an adjustable hanger unit 210 is provided with four adjusting screws 2132. The pipe support 211 and the support plate 2131 are both formed as rectangular plates. The first hanger 212 is formed as a gantry hanger. The gantry hanger includes two suspension ends and a bearing end connecting the two suspension ends. The support plate 2131 is installed on the bearing end. The two ends of the four adjusting screws 2132 are respectively connected to the four corners of the pipe support 211 and the support plate 2131.

[0031] Furthermore, the adjusting screw 2132 is fixedly connected to the pipe support 211. The adjusting screw 2132 passes through the support plate 2131, and the adjusting screw 2132 is provided with adjusting nuts 2133. The adjusting nuts 2133 are located on both sides of the support plate 2131 and are used to limit the position of the support plate 2131. The adjusting nuts 2133 can be screwed to different positions on the adjusting screw 2132 to adjust the distance between the support plate 2131 and the pipe support 211. That is, the support plate 2131 can have a threadless through hole. The adjusting screw 2132 passes through the support plate 2131, and two adjusting nuts 2133 are provided at the movable end of the adjusting screw 2132. The two adjusting nuts 2133 are located on the adjusting screw 2132 on both sides of the support plate 2131. The two adjusting nuts 2133 can be screwed to different positions on the adjusting screw 2132 to change the length of the adjusting screw 2132 extending out of the support plate 2131, thereby adjusting the position of the pipe body 110 in the vertical direction. It is understandable that there may be only one or more adjusting nuts 2133 on each adjusting screw 2132. When there is only one adjusting nut 2133 on an adjusting screw 2132, the adjusting nut 2133 is located on the side of the adjusting screw 2132 above the support plate 2131. Under the gravity of the pipe support 211 and the pipe body 110 placed on the pipe support 211, the support plate 2131 is sandwiched in the middle by the adjusting nut 2133 and the first bracket, and thus fixed. Adjusting the position of the adjusting nut 2133 on the adjusting screw 2132 can change the distance between the adjusting nut 2133 and the pipe support 211, thereby changing the distance between the pipe support 211 and the first bracket, and thus changing the position of the pipe body 110 in the vertical direction.

[0032] In some embodiments, a pipe clamp 214 is provided on the pipe support 211, and the pipe body 110 is fixedly installed on the pipe support 211 by the pipe clamp 214. That is, please refer to Figure 3 A U-shaped pipe clamp 214 is provided on the pipe support 211. The pipe clamp 214 confines the circular cross-section pipe body 110 to the pipe support 211. The shape of the pipe clamp 214 conforms to the shape of the pipe wall of the pipe body 110. The pipe clamp 214 is detachably fixed to the pipe support 211 by a threaded connection. It can be understood that the pipe clamp 214 can be detachably fixed to the pipe support 211 by means other than a threaded connection, such as a pin connection or a snap-fit ​​connection. Figure 4 As shown, the tube body 110 is mounted on the external crossbeam 300 via multiple adjustable hanger units 210 (the external crossbeam 300 is omitted in the figure).

[0033] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 5The installation mechanism 200 includes a pipe connector 220. Multiple pipe bodies 110 are present, and adjacent pipe bodies 110 are connected by the pipe connector 220. The pipe connector 220 is formed as a tubular structure with a radial cross-section slightly larger than that of the pipe body 110. Adjacent pipe bodies 110 can extend into the pipe connector 220. The pipe connector 220 includes two protrusions 221 extending from its side surface. Each protrusion 221 has a first through hole 222. The axial direction of the first through hole 222 is the tangential direction of the pipe body 110 connector. The two sets of first through holes 222 being close together allow the pipe connector 220 to tighten tangentially, thereby locking and fixing two adjacent pipe bodies 110.

[0034] In other words, multiple tubes 110 are connected by a tube connector 220. The tube connector 220 is formed into a tubular structure. The radial cross-section of the tube connector 220 is slightly larger than that of the tube 110. The tube connector 220 also includes two protrusions 221 protruding from the side surface of the tube connector 220. The protrusions 221 are arranged along the axial direction of the tube connector 220. Each of the two protrusions 221 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 222. The first through holes 222 are arranged along the axial direction of the tube connector 220. The axial direction of the first through holes 222 is consistent with the tangential direction of the tube 110 connector. The two sets of first through holes 222 are close to each other, which can tighten the tube connector 220 in its tangential direction, thereby locking and fixing the two adjacent tubes 110 located in the tube connector 220. During the connection of two adjacent pipe bodies 110, the two adjacent pipe bodies 110 are first inserted into the pipe connector 220 so that the end faces of the two adjacent pipe bodies 110 are aligned face to face. Then, the two sets of first through holes 222 of the pipe connector 220 are fastened together by fastening nuts 224 and fastening bolts 223 so that the pipe connector 220 is close to each other, and the pipe connector 220 is tightened in the tangential direction, thereby achieving the effect of locking the adjacent pipe bodies 110.

[0035] When the tubular chain conveyor is working, the tube body 110 vibrates. Grain silos are typically filled with nitrogen to prevent pests, so it is necessary to ensure the airtightness of the tube body 110 as it passes through the warehouse wall. Traditional fireproof sealant is prone to detachment due to the vibration of the tube body 110, compromising the airtightness of the warehouse. Therefore, in some embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the installation mechanism 200 includes a wall-penetrating component 230, which is installed on the wall 700. The wall-penetrating component 230 includes a sleeve 231 for fitting the pipe body 110 and a sealing plate 232. The sealing plate 232 has a second through hole for fitting the sleeve 231. The sealing plate 232 is installed on both sides of the wall 700. The pipe body 110 passes through the wall 700 through the sleeve 231. The space between the pipe body 110 and the sleeve 231 is filled with a solidifiable barrier grout 233. In this embodiment, the barrier grout 233 is a polyurea grout. That is, as... Figure 6 As shown, the through-wall assembly 230 includes a sleeve 231 and a sealing plate 232. The cross-sectional area of ​​the sleeve 231 in the radial direction is slightly larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the pipe body 110. One through-wall assembly 230 includes one sleeve 231 and two sealing plates 232. The sealing plate 232 has holes for the sleeve 231 to pass through, and the size of the holes matches the outer contour of the sleeve 231. Figure 7 As shown, the pipe body 110 passes through the sleeve 231, and barrier grout 233 is injected into the sleeve 231 to ensure the sealing of the sleeve 231. Figure 8 As shown, the wall 700 through which the material needs to be passed has a through-wall hole 710, the size of which matches the outer contour of the sealing plate 232. Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, two sealing plates 232 are welded and fixed to both sides of the through-wall hole 710. The pipe body 110 with the sleeve 231 passes through the sealing plate 232, and then the sleeve 231 and the sealing plate 232 are welded and fixed to complete the through-wall installation of the pipe body 110. It is worth noting that one end of the pipe body 110 is provided with an interface flange 111. The pipe bodies 110 are connected to each other through the interface flange 111. In order to facilitate the connection of the through-wall pipe body 110 with other pipe bodies 110, the interface flange 111 of the through-wall pipe body 110 is kept at a certain distance from the sealing plate 232.

[0036] In view of this, another aspect of this application discloses a method for installing a tubular chain conveyor structure, used for installing the tubular chain conveyor structure as described above, comprising the following steps: S1. Fix several hanger rods 241 to the external crossbeam 300; fix the drive section 120, tension section 130 and steering section 140 of the tubular chain conveyor structure to the second hanger 242; S2. Set a temporary hoisting beam 243 on the adjacent hanger rod 241, install several hand chain hoists 244 on the hoisting beam 243, and install the second hanger 242 onto the hanger rod 241 by means of the hand chain hoists 244. S3. Insert the pipe body used for penetrating the wall into the pipe sleeve and fill it with the barrier grout that has solidification properties; S4. Fix the sleeve and the pipe body to the sealing plate, and then fix the sealing plate to the pre-reserved through hole in the wall. S5. Insert two adjacent pipe bodies 110 into the pipe connector 220 and bring the end faces of the two pipe bodies 110 together. Move the pipe connector 220 to the position where the end faces of the two adjacent pipe bodies 110 are close together. By installing fasteners to the two sets of first through holes 222 of the pipe connector 220, bring the two sets of first through holes 222 closer together. The pipe connector 220 tightens and locks the two adjacent pipe bodies 110 in its tangential direction. S6. Fix the first hanger 212 to the external crossbeam 300; S7. The pipe body 110 is fixedly installed between the pipe support 211 and the pipe clamp 214 of the adjustable hanger unit 210. Rotating the adjusting nut 2133 can adjust the position of the pipe body 110 in the vertical direction. Moving the support plate 2131 on the first hanger 212 can adjust the position of the pipe body 110 in the horizontal direction. S8. Connect the pipe body 110, drive joint 120, tension joint 130 and steering joint 140, wherein the drive joint 120, tension joint 130 and steering joint 140 are connected in pairs through the pipe body 110. S9. A feed chute 500 connecting the pipe body 110, including the feed inlet 112, to the outside; and a discharge chute 600 connecting the pipe body 110, including the discharge outlet 113, to the outside.

[0037] In steps S1 and S6, such as Figure 3 and Figure 11As shown, before fixing several hanger rods 241 and several first hangers 212 to the external crossbeam 300, several welded embedded parts 400 are pre-embedded at the preset installation positions of the external crossbeam 300. The hanger rods 241 and the first hangers 212 are welded to the welded embedded parts 400 to fix them to the external crossbeam 300. In step S2, the lifting crossbeam 243 is temporarily spot-welded to the hanger rods 241. After the hand chain hoist 244 pulls up the second hanger 242 and securely connects it to the hanger rods 241, the lifting crossbeam 243 spot-welded to the hanger rods 241 is removed. After step S2, that is, after the second hanger 242 is installed, the lifting crossbeam 243 and the hand chain hoist 244 are disassembled. In step S3, the interface flange 111 of the pipe body 110 used for wall penetration maintains a certain distance from the sealing plate 232 so that the pipe body 110 used for wall penetration can connect with other pipe bodies 110. In this embodiment, the barrier grout 233 is a polyurea grout. In step S4, the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the sleeve 231 is slightly larger than the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the pipe body 110. The size of the wall penetration hole 710 reserved on the wall 700 matches the sealing plate 232. The fixed connection between the sealing plate 232 and the bushing is welded, and the fixed connection between the sealing plate 232 and the wall penetration hole 710 is welded. In step S5, the pipe connector 220 is formed into a tubular structure. The radial cross-section of the pipe connector 220 is slightly larger than that of the pipe body 110. The pipe connector 220 also includes two protrusions 221 protruding from the side surface of the pipe connector 220. The protrusions 221 are arranged along the axial direction of the pipe connector 220. Each of the two protrusions 221 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 222. The first through holes 222 are arranged along the axial direction of the pipe connector 220. The axial direction of the first through holes 222 is consistent with the tangential direction of the pipe body 110 connector. The pipe bodies 110 are connected by the pipe connector 220, which ensures that the connection between adjacent pipe bodies 110 has good coaxiality. In step S7, the shape of the pipe clamp 214 is adapted to the shape of the pipe wall of the pipe body 110. The pipe clamp 214 is detachably fixed to the pipe support 211 by a threaded connection. It can be understood that the pipe clamp 214 can be detachably fixed to the pipe support 211 by means other than threaded connection, such as pin connection, snap-fit ​​connection, etc. In step S8, the connection between the pipe body 110 and the drive joint 120, tension joint 130 and steering joint 140 is a coaxial connection.
