Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of scraper chains, and in particular to the technical field of a scraper chain for temperature control using phase change materials. Background Technology

[0002] Scraper conveyors are widely used in the grain and mining industries due to their stable conveying and large conveying capacity. Scrapers are fixed on chains to form scraper chains, which serve as traction components. The scraper chains circulate and drive the material along the chute until it is unloaded at the head of the machine, thus completing the material conveying process.

[0003] Existing scraper chains have the following disadvantages: 1. When conveying low-temperature materials, the scraper chain temperature decreases and the scraper chain becomes brittle; 2. When conveying high-temperature materials, the scraper chain absorbs the material temperature, resulting in insufficient high-temperature mechanical properties of the material, annealing, and deformation of the scraper chain. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a scraper chain for temperature control of phase change material, comprising a chain composed of several chain links connected end to end and several scrapers, wherein the chain links are provided with scrapers and the scrapers are filled with CPCM phase change composite material.

[0006] Preferably, the link includes a link body, a hinge seat integrally formed at the rear end of the link body, a hinge groove provided at the rear end of the hinge seat, a hinge joint integrally formed at the front end of the link body that mates with the hinge groove, the hinge joint having an annular cross-section, and a pin hole penetrating the hinge groove on the hinge seat.

[0007] Preferably, scrapers are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the chain link body, and the connection end of the scraper to the chain link body is a concave arc-shaped surface, with the upper and lower sides of the scraper cooperating with the concave arc-shaped surface.

[0008] Preferably, the scraper is welded to the chain link body, and the scraper is attached to and welded to the front end of the hinge seat.

[0009] Preferably, the rear side of each scraper is provided with a reinforcing angle iron that is welded to the hinge seat.

[0010] Preferably, the scraper has cavities arranged sequentially from top to bottom, one end of each cavity penetrates a concave arc-shaped surface, and the cavity is filled with CPCM phase change composite material.

[0011] Preferably, the pin hole is hinged to a corresponding hinge joint via a pin shaft, and the insertion end of the pin shaft is provided with a retaining ring, which is fixedly connected to the pin shaft via a cylindrical pin.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By providing scrapers on the chain links and filling the scrapers with CPCM phase change composite material, the heat absorption and release of CPCM phase change composite material can suppress the heating or cooling of the scraper chain. Compared with the prior art, this utility model can improve the service life of the scraper chain in extreme environments and effectively control the temperature in high or low temperature environments.

[0013] The features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail through embodiments and accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description
