[0023] See attached document Figure 1-4 A non-twisting heated chain includes a core transmission component, a positioning component, and auxiliary assembly components; The core transmission components include a blank insertion shaft 1, a blank insertion head base 8, a second sprocket 2, a first sprocket 20, a first shaft 13, and a second shaft 15. The blank insertion shaft 1 passes through the blank insertion head base 8. The first shaft 13 and the second shaft 15 are respectively connected to the blank insertion head base 8. The second sprocket 2 and the first sprocket 20 are respectively mounted on the corresponding shafts and are installed in an alternating manner with large and small ends. The positioning assembly includes bearing 2 12, bearing 3 14 and guide rail 21. Bearing 2 12 is mounted on shaft 1 13 and is distributed vertically. Bearing 2 12 moves close to the right side of guide rail 21. The lower side of the inside of guide rail 21 supports the lower part of outer bearing 3 14, and the upper side of the inside presses against the upper part of inner bearing 3 14. The auxiliary assembly components include bearing 1 (4), spacer 1 (5), bushing 6, hole clamp 3, locking nut 9, flat washer 10, shaft clamp 11, spacer 2 (16), spacer 3 (17), bearing 4 (18), shaft clamp 2 (19), and compression spring 7. Bearing 1 (4), spacer 1 (5), and bushing 6 are sequentially assembled on insert shaft 1. Hole clamp 3 is engaged with the end of insert shaft 1. Locking nut 9 and flat washer 10 connect insert shaft 1 to insert head base 8. Shaft clamp 11 is embedded on shaft 1 (13). Spacer 2 (16), bearing 3 (14), spacer 3 (17), and bearing 4 (18) are sequentially assembled on shaft 2 (15). Shaft clamp 2 (19) is embedded on shaft 2 (15). Compression spring 7 is sleeved on the outside of insert shaft 1 and located inside insert head base 8.
[0024] Bearing 4, spacer 5, and bushing 6 are sequentially inserted through one end of the insert shaft 1. The two bearings 4 are respectively fitted onto the end step of the insert shaft 1. The spacer 5 is coaxially clamped between the two bearings 4. By precisely controlling the axial length, the bearings 4 are separated to avoid frictional interference during operation. The bushing 6 is fitted onto the outermost end of the insert shaft 1. Its inner end face abuts against the outer ring of the outer bearing 4. The outer end face is limited by the hole clamp 3. The hole clamp 3 is embedded in the pre-set annular groove at the end of the insert shaft 1 to form an axial lock, ensuring that the assembly position of bearing 4, spacer 5, and bushing 6 on the insert shaft 1 is fixed.
[0025] The middle part of the insert shaft 1 passes through the axial through hole of the insert head base 8, and the two are clearance fit. The section of the insert shaft 1 located inside the insert head base 8 is fitted with a compression spring 7. One end of the compression spring 7 abuts against the middle step surface of the insert shaft 1, and the other end abuts against the inner wall step of the through hole of the insert head base 8. The preload of the compression spring 7 buffers the axial vibration of the insert shaft 1 during operation. The other end of the insert shaft 1 extending out of the insert head base 8 is connected to the locking nut 9 by a thread. The flat washer 10 is fitted on the insert shaft 1 and clamped between the locking nut 9 and the outer wall of the insert head base 8. The tightening force of the locking nut 9 rigidly fixes the insert shaft 1 and the insert head base 8, while the flat washer 10 disperses the locking force to avoid wear on the surface of the insert head base 8.
[0026] The two ends of shaft 13 are connected to the two symmetrical lugs on the right side of the insert head base 8 by interference fit and are fixed in axial position. Two bearings 12 are respectively sleeved on the upper and lower sections of shaft 13, distributed at intervals along the axial direction of shaft 13 and arranged symmetrically. The inner rings of the two bearings are interference fit with shaft 13. Each end of shaft 13 has an annular groove 1 on its outer circumferential surface. Shaft clip 11 is embedded in the groove 1 and abuts against the outer inner rings of the two bearings 12, forming a bidirectional axial limit to prevent the bearings 12 from moving along shaft 13. After assembly, the outer rings of the two bearings 12 are tightly fitted to the inner wall of the right side of guide rail 21. When the large chain runs, the bearings 12 roll along the right side wall of guide rail 21. The horizontal offset force is offset by the symmetrical double bearing structure, ensuring that the insert head base 8 does not wobble in the horizontal direction.
[0027] Shaft 2 15 is connected to the two symmetrical lugs on the left side of the insert head base 8 by interference fit at both ends, and is set parallel to shaft 1 13. From left to right, shaft 2 15 is fitted with spacer 2 16, outer bearing 3 14, spacer 3 17, inner bearing 3 14, and bearing 4 18. The left end of spacer 2 16 abuts against the left step of shaft 2 15, and the right end abuts against the inner ring of outer bearing 3 14. Spacer 3 17 is sandwiched between the inner rings of outer bearing 3 14 and inner bearing 3 14. The distance between the two bearings 3 14 is controlled by the length design. The left side of the inner ring of bearing 4 18 abuts against the inner ring of inner bearing 3 14, and the right side is connected by shaft clamp 2. 19 Limiting – A ring groove 2 is provided on the outer right side of shaft 2 15. Shaft 2 19 is embedded in groove 2 and abuts against the right side of the inner ring of bearing 4 18, thereby fixing all components on shaft 2 15 axially. After assembly, it is embedded in the left groove of guide rail 21. The horizontal wall on the lower side of the inner side of guide rail 21 supports the lower part of the outer ring of outer bearing 3 14, and the horizontal wall on the upper side of the inner side presses against the upper part of the outer ring of inner bearing 3 14, forming a bidirectional constraint in the vertical direction. Combined with the fit between bearing 2 12 and the right side wall of guide rail 21, the whole structure forms a three-sided positioning structure on the left, top, and bottom, which completely restricts the vertical movement and horizontal displacement of the insert head base 8.
[0028] Both sprocket 2 and sprocket 1 are toothed disc structures. They are connected by keys and assembled to the shaft ends of adjacent chain links. The large end of sprocket 2 faces outward of the equipment, and the large end of sprocket 1 faces inward of the equipment, forming an alternating large and small end installation method. This structure ensures that the teeth of adjacent sprockets do not overlap radially during transmission, avoids tooth collision interference, and ensures the smoothness of chain meshing transmission.
[0029] In this embodiment, when the heating machine drives the large chain to operate, sprocket 2 and sprocket 1 20 engage with the chain to drive the insert head base 8 to move along the guide rail 21; bearing 2 12 rolls along the right side wall of the guide rail 21 to provide stable support in the horizontal direction; outer bearing 3 14 rolls along the lower horizontal wall of the guide rail 21 and inner bearing 3 14 rolls along the upper horizontal wall of the guide rail 21 to form a vertical limit; compression spring 7 buffers the axial vibration of insert shaft 1, and locking nut 9 and flat washer 10 ensure the rigid connection between insert shaft 1 and insert head base 8, realizing the non-shaking conveying of insert shaft 1, and finally solving the problems of inaccurate inserting and insert falling in traditional chains.
[0030] In summary, the modular assembly logic achieves precise connection of each component: the insert shaft 1 and the insert head base 8 form a stable assembly through the sequential assembly of bearing 4, spacer 5, and bushing 6, and the axial locking of the hole clamp 3. Combined with the pre-tightening buffer of the compression spring 7 and the rigid fixation of the locking nut 9 and flat washer 10, this ensures that the insert shaft 1 is free from vibration and displacement. Shaft 13 and two symmetrical bearings 12 are limited by shaft clamp 11, achieving stable horizontal support. The orderly assembly of spacer 16, bearing 14, spacer 17, bearing 18, and shaft clamp 19 on shaft 15 forms a bidirectional constraint in the vertical direction with the guide rail 21. Combined with the fit between bearing 12 and the right side wall of the guide rail 21, a three-sided positioning structure (left, top, and bottom) is formed, completely solving the problems of vertical movement and horizontal displacement of traditional chains. The staggered installation of sprocket 2 and sprocket 20 avoids transmission interference and ensures smooth meshing.
[0031] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
