Thrust chain link of a conveyor chain, conveyor chain, conveyor system and method for positioning a retaining adapter on a conveyor chain

摘要

A thrust chain link of a conveyor chain of a conveyor system for conveying articles suspended from retaining adapters, in particular of a sorter, includes a base body with a thrust unit arranged on its bottom side and spaced-apart coupling sections formed on its ends for pivotal connection to an adjacent link. The thrust unit includes two tappets protruding from the bottom side of the base body, wherein a front first tappet in the conveying direction is shorter than a rear second tappet. The two tappets are spaced apart such that a head portion of the retaining adapter can be received between the two tappets without play or largely without play. A conveyor chain, a conveyor system and a method for positioning a retaining adapter on a conveyor chain of a conveyor system are also described.

主权项

1. A thrust chain link of a conveyor chain of a conveyor system for conveying articles suspended from retaining adapters, comprising:
a base body having a thrust unit arranged on a bottom side of the base body and coupling sections formed on ends of the base body that are spaced-apart in a conveying direction for pivotal connection of the base body to an adjacent chain link, wherein the thrust unit comprises two tappets protruding from the bottom side of the base body, with a front first tappet in the conveying direction being shorter than a rear second tappet, wherein a spacing between the two tappets is dimensioned such that a head portion of a retaining adapter is received between the two tappets without play or largely without play.
