The present invention relates to a conveyor line (1) comprising at least one link plate chain (2), which consists of a plurality of chain links (3a, 3b) each with two link plates (4, 5), wherein at least one chain link (3a, 3b) comprises a bracket (angled holder) (9a, 9b) with a fastening section (10), and at least one conveying means (11), which can be fastened by a fastener via an assembly section (12) to the bracket (angled holder) (9a, 9b).

A drive device (1) for a conveying cart of a conveying device contains a drive source (34) and a drive-force transmission (6) for transmitting a drive force of the drive source (34) to a drive element (2). The conveying cart can be fastened to the drive element (2) and the drive force can be transmitted to the drive element (2) from the drive-force transmission (6) by a force-locking or frictional-locking connection. A drive element (2) for the drive device (1) has a first long side (36) with ribs (38) and joints (40) transverse to the longitudinal direction of the drive element (2) for permitting negotiation of curves, and a second long side (42) opposite the first long side (36) is flat. A conveying-cart drive (4) for a conveying cart of a conveying device contains the drive device (1) and the drive element (2).

A conveyor chain for a pallet belt of a moving walkway is described. The conveyor chain comprises multiple elongate chain links, which are arranged behind one another at a chain pitch, and which can be subjected to a tensile load by means of link pins and are coupled so as to be pivotable about a longitudinal center axis of the respective link pin transverse to the longitudinal direction. The conveyor chain furthermore comprises multiple elongate connecting elements that are likewise arranged behind one another and pivotably coupled to one another. Each of the connecting elements is coupled to an associated first link pin with a front end and coupled to an associated second link pin with a rear end. In this case, a connecting element pitch between the first and the second link pin amounts to an integer multiple of the chain pitch.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of sorting, and in particular to a chain conveying mechanism and an article sorting system. The chain conveying mechanism provided by the present disclosure includes: a chain transmission mechanism, including a chain and a sprocket, wherein the chain is driven by the sprocket to rotate; a cart, arranged on the chain and rotating along with the chain, wherein the cart includes a cart body and two wheel groups connected to two opposite sides of the cart body, and each of the wheel groups includes a first wheel and a second wheel arranged intervals on the same side of the cart body; and linkage mechanisms being in one-to-one correspondence with the wheel groups, wherein each of the linkage mechanisms connects the chain with the first wheel and the second wheel, and enables the first wheel and the second wheel to swing relative to each other to change a distance between the first wheel and the second wheel. On such basis, the turning stability of the cart at the sprocket is effectively improved.

A method for mounting a conveyor chain for a pallet belt of a moving walkway is described. Provided elongated connecting elements for fastening pallets are coupled in one coupling process to one another and to chain links, which are coupled to one another, such that the connecting elements are arranged one behind the other parallel to the extension direction of the conveyor chain, each of the connecting elements is coupled at a front end to an associated first one of the chain pins, and at a rear end to an associated second one of the chain pins, wherein a connecting element spacing distance between the first and second chain pins is an integer multiple of the chain spacing distance.
