Working principle of suspension chain drive equipment
The working principle of the suspension chain drive device is to drive the traction chain and the sprocket meshing transmission through the drive device (including motors, reducers, etc.), and maintain chain tension with the tensioning device to achieve continuous transportation of materials in three-dimensional space. Core elements of working principle
power transmission mechanism.
The drive device (motor + reducer) outputs power to the drive sprocket, and generates friction through the meshing of the sprocket teeth and the traction chain, pushing the chain to run along the track.
In the accumulation-type equipment, the pusher engages/disengages the lifting claws of the trolley and controls the conveying state, realizing the automatic start-stop and accumulation-storage functions.
Tension Control.
Spring-type or pneumatic tensioning device is used to maintain the chain tension at around 0.4MPa to prevent derailment or wear caused by slack.
Space adaptability.
The chain runs on a 16Mn material track through a ball bearing wheel, supporting ups and downs (maximum inclination angle up to 30°) and horizontal turns (minimum radius 1.5m), adapting to three-dimensional spatial layout.
Key Structural Components
Training Chain: Use die-forged chains or double-hinged chains, with a single-point lifting weight covering 8-500kg, and withstands an environment of -20℃ to 200℃.
Drive device: includes two types: angle drive (90° steering) and track drive (linear segment), equipped with a safety pin overload protection mechanism.
Rail system: I-steel or closed guide rails form a closed loop circuit, and an integrated reverse rail device prevents the carriage from being offset.
Typical application scenarios
Automotive manufacturing: The synchronous conveying and process integration of engines, doors and other components is realized in the vehicle assembly line.
Coating production line: Continuous operation in high-temperature drying channels (80-180℃) and the paint room to complete the entire drying-cooling-quality inspection process.
Flexible Warehousing: The accumulated design can form a suspended space warehouse with a storage density of up to 16,000 pieces/line, supporting JIT production mode.
