Sprocket

Sprocket is a kind of wheel with cogged chain teeth, which is used to mesh with blocks with accurate pitch on chain link or cable. Sprocket is widely used in chemical industry, textile machinery, escalator, wood processing, three-dimensional garage, agricultural machinery, food processing, instrumentation, petroleum and other industries of mechanical transmission.

Structural Design

The tooth profile of sprocket must ensure that the chain can enter and exit the meshing smoothly, reduce the impact and contact stress of the chain link as much as possible, and be easy to process. The tooth profile is processed with standard cutter. It is not necessary to draw the end face tooth profile on the working drawing of sprocket. It is only necessary to mark “the tooth profile is manufactured according to 3rgb1244-85” on the drawing. However, the axial face tooth profile of sprocket should be drawn. Refer to relevant design manual for its size. Sprocket material should ensure that the teeth have enough strength and wear resistance, so the sprocket tooth surface is generally heat treated to achieve a certain hardness.

Wear Analysis

” Sprocket is one of the important parts of scraper conveyor, its characteristics have a direct impact on the service life of scraper conveyor. The sprocket used in the sprocket wear analysis is a common traction sprocket, which has a large sliding motion at the meshing point, and has severe wear due to poor working conditions. “

reason

Causes of wear 1

The higher the adhesive wear load is, the higher the surface temperature is, and the more serious the adhesive phenomenon is.

High Temperature

The higher the adhesive wear load is, the higher the surface temperature is, and the more serious the adhesive phenomenon is. For a certain hardness of metal materials, wear tests are carried out under different pressures, and the relationship between wear rate and pressure is obtained. When the pressure reaches more than 1 / 3 of the material hardness, serious wear will occur. According to the stress distribution diagram, the maximum stress contact point is the maximum pressure, which is 884.4 MPa. Because the quenching hardness of the chain socket is hrc48 ~ 52, the corresponding hardness value is 4800mpa. Therefore, the pressure is far less than 1 / 3 of the material hardness, so adhesive wear is not the main form of sprocket wear.

reason

Causes of wear 2

Contact fatigue wear:The friction pair of chain wheel and chain is an alternating contact stress, and it is easy to form fatigue pitting on its friction surface.

Contact Fatigue Wear

The friction pair of chain wheel and chain is an alternating contact stress, and it is easy to form fatigue pitting on its friction surface. The index to judge the metal contact fatigue strength is the contact fatigue limit, which is the maximum stress without pitting under a certain number of stress cycles. It is easy to cause pitting failure. But because of the poor lubrication condition of chain wheel and chain, the pitting corrosion has not formed in time, which has caused wear. At this time, the main damage form is wear rather than pitting corrosion. Contact fatigue wear is the main form of sprocket wear, which basically determines the service life of sprocket.

reason

Causes of wear 3

When the chain is in contact with pulverized coal, the material on the sprocket surface will fall off during the friction process.

Abrasive Wear

Because the chain is inevitably in contact with pulverized coal, a little pulverized coal is stuck on the chain, which is brought to the contact point of chain socket of sprocket. Pulverized coal contains a little hard sand, which will cause the material on the surface of sprocket to fall off during the friction process, which is abrasive wear.

04

reason

Causes of wear 

Abrasive wear is related to the hardness of friction material and abrasive.

Accelerated Sprocket Wear

Abrasive wear is related to the hardness of friction material and abrasive. From the influence of abrasive hardness on wear, it can be seen that when the hardness of abrasive is close to that of friction material, high-speed wear of friction material will be caused, because there is a little hard sand mixed with pulverized coal, which is also one of the main reasons to accelerate the wear of sprocket.

Usage Method

As a new gear product, the transmission speed of sprocket is high. In its specific application process, because of the advantage of high speed, the noise is very small, which is also conducive to achieve a good processing environment. Sprocket in its application, not only the installation accuracy is relatively high, but also the machining accuracy is very ideal, which can save a lot of trouble for future maintenance work. Moreover, the advantages of compact sprocket structure make it have larger transmission ratio, and its service life is also relatively high.

Improvement Measures

The service life of sprocket is short, which can not meet the requirements of production practice. According to the service condition, processing status and manufacturing technology of sprocket, some improvement measures are put forward

Material Improvement

The design material of the original sprocket is 40Cr, the overall quenching and tempering hardness is hb220 ~ 250, and the tooth quenching is hrc48 ~ 52. This method can not improve the wear resistance of sprocket basically because of the limited hardness of tooth quenching. It is suggested that the sprocket material should be changed to 20CrMnTi, carburized and quenched. The hardness of the chain socket can reach more than HRC60, and its wear resistance is more than 2.5 times that of 40Cr material. In this way, the service life of the sprocket can be greatly improved, the frequency of machine repair can be reduced, the productivity can be improved, and the production cost can be reduced;

Finish Machining

The shape of the original sprocket socket is forged directly, which has large dimensional error, rough surface and low wear resistance. With the wide application of CNC machine tools and the reduction of processing costs, it is suggested to leave a little margin after forging and finish machining by numerical milling, so as to improve the dimensional accuracy and surface roughness, so as to improve the wear resistance.
