A rigid chain is a special type of mechanical transmission component, whose operating principle is mainly based on its unique structural design and mechanical properties.
Structural Features
Chain plate design: The chain plates of the rigid chain have a special shape, with drive wheels at both ends of the pin axis and on the outer side of the chain plate, and guide rollers in the middle for internal guidance. Locking mechanism: One end of the chain plate is equipped with a shoulder, and the other end is equipped with a shoulder groove. When the chain is subjected to a pressure load, the head link causes the force point to deviate from the center of the pin axis, generating a locking force between the shoulder and the shoulder groove, interlocking adjacent links, giving the chain the characteristics of a rigid push rod.
Operating principle
Drive and guidance: The rigid chain is driven by a transmission box, which contains a drive sprocket and a guide plate. The guide plate ensures that the chain is in a vertical position just after leaving the drive sprocket, while the chain on the non-load side remains horizontal. Folding and storage: The chain outside the drive unit still has the bending characteristics of a normal chain, which facilitates folding and storage.
