In a previous paper (1), the contact forces in a chain bearing during articulation were established. The present note describes the application of these results to the theoretical evaluation of efficiency for a conventional chain transmission using cranked link (or offset) type chain.

The article deals with the calculation of the drive and chain transmission of the newly created mechanized drying plant for drying melon slices. The essence of the utility model: the machine contains a horizontal tunnel chamber, inside which is mounted a chain conveyor with driving and driven sprockets, load-carrying elements, the IR emitters with reflectors on top of the camera mounted electric air heater, fan, an annular heat exchanger equipped with inlet and outlet nozzles of the drying agent. On the branches of the conveyor chain, lodgments with folding clamps are mounted, on which load-bearing elements are fixed, which are used as wooden poles. The calculation of the drive and chain transmission of the drying plant conveyor was carried out according to the existing method according to the scheme shown in the figure. Thus, the main parameters of the drive and chain transmission parts of the mechanized chamber-chain drying plant for drying melon fruits were determined by calculation

Although the individual threshing drum of a combine harvester was balanced on a dynamic balancing machine before it is assembled, there were still unbalances after multiple drums were assembled with the chain drive. In this paper, the double drums with a chain drive of a crawler combined harvester were selected as the research subject. The aim of this study was to develop a dynamic unbalance mode for grading chain drive double drums. Based on the dynamic unbalance characteristics of the main driven drum, the experimental research on the radial balance of the driven drum end face was carried out. It was known that the chain drive had a direct and obvious influence on the unbalanced phase of the drum. The unbalance of the drive load had an obvious effect on unbalanced amplitude of an active drum through the transfer characteristics of the chain drive. For the multi-stage transmission characteristics of a combine harvester, a step-by-step balanced grading chain drive double drum dynamic balancing method was practiced. Results showed that the unbalanced amplitude after balancing threshing drum I chain transmission mode of the combine harvester can be reduced by a maximum of 91%. Simultaneously, the unbalanced amplitude of threshing drum II can reduced by a maximum of 69.2%. The size and position of the wrap angle of the chain drive would directly affect the phase of the two equivalent unbalanced masses.

This paper presents a method to calculate the forces in a chain and, thus, the resulting load distribution along the sprockets in a chain transmission working at a moderate or high speed. When the chain drive is loaded, the rollers that contact the sprockets will move along the flanks to different height positions. There are mainly two different ways to determine the actual positions: to assume the positions or to use force equilibrium and to calculate the positions. To find the correct solution the geometry and the force equilibrium are used which will give each roller's position, along the flank. This method demands knowledge of all parts of the chain, even the slack part. Therefore it has been necessary to model both the connecting tight and the slack spans in which power between the two sprockets is transmitted. The gravitational force acting at the chain has been included in the complete model so that the position of the rollers and the forces in the links at the slack span can be calculated. The elastic deformation in the chain has also been included. The moment of inertia in the two sprockets and in the outer geometry has been taken into account, but not the inertia forces in the chain.

Polygon effect is the inherent characteristics of chain drive system, and also the main factor which restricts the transmission performance of the system. In this article a structure related to a slide constraint chain drive is presented and optimized by means of MATLAB optimization toolbox. Based on polygon effect analysis, a compensation method is proposed and verified by trajectory simulation. Simulation results show that the compensation method can effectively reduce the polygon effect of chain drive and improve the transmission performance of the chain drive system.

Abstract The analysis of the available calculation methods of chain-drives load-carrying ability is given according to the criterion of the tolerance unit pressure in a single profile chain joint [p]0. It is shown, that the values of [p]0 were determined according to the deterministic ideas without consideration of the distribution law of both random varieties of contact step of inner and outer rings and lengths of drive strands of the first and second profile of the chain drive. Probability task of determination of the tolerance unit pressure in two profile chain joints [p0]q is solved, when the structural, technological and physical-mechanical characteristic of the chain, that is, the lengths of drive strand of a chain-drive, accuracy of contact steps and stiffness of a drive roller chain are considered. The measurement procedure and the empirical dependencies for determination of drive roller chains deformation and stiffness are presented. As a result, the dependencies for the determination of [p0]q as the basic criterion according to which selection of a chain dimension-type, as well as characteristics used for the comparative estimation of a drive chain quality of different manufacturers when certain probability estimations are taken into consideration, were obtained.

The following pages have been written in consequence of reading some paragraphs by Reye, in which he obtains, from a quartic surface, a chain of contravariant quartic envelopes and of covariant quartic loci. This chain is, in general, unending; but Reye at once foresaw the possibility of the quartic surface being such that the chain would be periodic. The only example which he gave of periodicity being realised was that in which the quartic surface was a repeated quadric. It is reasonable to suppose that, had he been able to do so, he would have chosen some surface which had the periodic property without being degenerate; in the present note two such surfaces are signalised.

A model of how to calculate the load distribution for a chain drive is presented. In the model the complete standard geometry is used without any assumptions. The rollers which are in contact with the sprockets can move freely along the tooth flanks and their positions are given by force equilibrium. Since the positions of the rollers and thereby also the load distribution are dependent on the two connecting spans, these necessary tight and slack spans have been included in the model. The elastic deformation in the chain is included as well as the gravitational force.
