Among the components of the chain scraper conveyor, the connecting link is often larger than the conveying chain and the wear is also more serious. Therefore, the connecting link has become a weak point in the entire conveying chain. The form of damage is often caused by severe wear, fracture, and pull apart. The following is the main analysis of the cause of damage to the link ring of the chain scraper conveyor!
Main reason
1. Long-term pulsating load and fatigue damage;
2. The connecting pins or bolts are loose and fall off, and the supplement cannot be found in time, resulting in uneven force or pulling of the link;
3. For the vertical ring, the unilateral wear is more serious. If it cannot be replaced in time, it will easily break and affect the production process of the entire scraper conveyor.
4. The chain of the scraper conveyor chain will generate a large dynamic load and impact load, which will cause the instantaneous huge fluctuation of the running speed of the conveying chain, and the operation will be extremely unstable, thereby accelerating the wear or fracture of the link;
5. The link itself has poor quality, poor abrasion resistance or poor toughness, low hardness, or fatigue cracks due to stress concentration, resulting in insufficient strength.
The above 5 points are the reasons for the damage of the chain link of the chain scraper conveyor. This requires enterprises to regularly perform equipment maintenance when using the chain scraper conveyor. If problems are found, they must be handled in time. Wait until the parts of the equipment are damaged and can no longer be used.
