CHAIN ASSEMBLING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical assembling procedures, namely equipment for assembling aggregates of caterpillar transport vehicles, for example semiautomatic machines for assembling caterpillar tracks.

SUBSTANCE: in apparatus for assembling chain stop plate is mounted in such a way that its working surface is arranged in plane normal relative to pressing in plane. Upper non-working portion of stop plate at side of ending pressing-in cycle is inclined in horizontal plane to side from rotor type conveyer. Lower non-working portion of plate in vertical plane is inclined relative to vertical line to side from rotor type conveyer. Stop part of pusher exceeds diameter of head of pin. Rigid guides are arranged in plane parallel to pressing-in plane; said guides are in the form of roller tables with pitch between rollers of roller table less than pitch of chain links. Guides embrace upper branch of conveyer from downwards and branch of chain from upwards at least along the whole length of it. Drive unit is provided in addition with back-stroke mechanism. Splitter is in the form of plate that is jointly mounted in its mean portion along lateral sides on supporting surface in horizontal plane along motion direction of conveyer for moving pins and it forms two-arm lever. One end of said lever is spring-loaded from downwards with possibility of engaging with dents of conveyer for moving pins. Other end of said lever is Г-shaped one and it may engage by free end with pins on inclined trough. Horizontal axes of articulation joints in vertical plane are provided with holding levers rigidly joined with plate and mounted with possibility of engaging with pins on inclined trough.

EFFECT: enlarged manufacturing possibilities, enhanced operational reliability.
