The development of the conveyor chain structure has different requirements for the conveyor chain and the transmission chain and the pulling chain. The functions that the conveyor chain needs to meet are: carrying the conveyed items, meshing with the drive sprocket, running on the support track and small chain wear and elongation.
The development of the conveyor chain and the chain conveyor complement each other. In combination with the chain conveyor to understand the development of the conveyor chain, the conveyor chain is very necessary for those who are engaged in the design and application of chain conveyors.
1. The development of the chain structure can realize the functions of the chain conveyor in many ways. This has promoted the development of the conveyor chain structure. These methods include:
The way to carry the conveyed items
a. Chain plate load; b. Chain roller load.
2. The way to run on the track
a. The chain plate slides on the track; b. The chain roller rolls on the track; c. The chain accessories roll on the track.
3. Meshing method of chain and driving sprocket
a. Chain plate meshes with sprocket teeth; b. Roller (or sleeve) meshes with sprocket teeth.
