Chain Link Comprising an Articulation Section and a Fork Section Separated by a Slide Section

摘要

A chain link for a curved conveyor chain, the chain link comprising a base body and a bolt, the base body having an articulation section and a fork section and a carrier means for carrying material that is to be conveyed, the bolt being elongated and designed in a circular cylindrical manner in at least one central section. In the articulation section, a bolt opening is provided through which the bolt can pass and can rotate relative to at least two axes. The fork section has an articulation recess for receiving the articulation section of an adjoining identical chain link, the fork section having two opposite bolt recesses which can receive the opposite ends of the bolt of the adjoining chain link. The articulation and fork sections of two adjoining, identical chain links are maintained at a distance by two slide sections.

主权项

1. A chain link for a curved conveyor chain, comprising:
a main body including an articulation section, a fork section, and a driver structure configured to take along material to be conveyed; a pin; and two slide sections provided opposite one another on the articulation section, wherein the pin defines an elongate and circular cylinder, at least in a central section, wherein in the articulation section a pin opening is provided through which the pin can pass in a manner which allows it to rotate relative to at least two axes, wherein the fork section has an articulation recess configured to accommodate the articulation section of an adjacent identical chain link, wherein the articulation section has two opposite pin apertures, which can accommodate opposite ends of the pin of the adjacent chain link, wherein at least one slide section, which is composed of a different material from the main body, is provided on the main body, wherein the two slide sections surround the pin, and wherein the main bodies of two adjacent identical chain links are held at a distance by the slide sections in such a way that the articulation and fork sections thereof touch only at the slide sections.
