the chain includes inner link plates, outer link plates, rollers and pins, the rollers rollingly fit to the guide rail; carrier plates are fixed on irregularly shaped outer link plates, and a rubber track is fixed on the carrier plates; blocking plates are fixed on the frame cross members and frame rails, the blocking plates including a first angled section and a vertical section, the rubber track positioned below the first angled sections and between the vertical sections, the angle between the first angled sections and the top surface of the rubber track being 30°-70°, and the width of the rubber track when in a free state being less than or equal to the distance between the vertical sections. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A tracked dumping compartment comprising frame cross members and frame rails, wherein a guide rail is fixed on the frame cross members, the guide rail supporting a chain, the chain comprising inner link plates, outer link plates, rollers, and pins, the outer link plates being divided into two types: conventional outer link plates and irregular outer link plates with a plate lug, wherein more than one of the conventional outer link plates is set between two of the irregular outer link plates, a circumferential excircle of the rollers of the chain is located within upper and lower edges of the inner link plates, the conventional outer link plates, and the irregular outer link plates, the rollers rotationally fit to the guide rail, carrier plates are fixed on the irregular outer link plates, and a rubber track is fixed on the carrier plates, characterized in that: blocking plates are fixed on said frame cross members and frame rails, said blocking plates comprising first angled sections and vertical sections, the rubber track being positioned below the angled sections and between the vertical sections, an included angle between the first angled sections and a top surface of the rubber track being 30° to 70°, and a width of the rubber track in a free state being less than or equal to a distance between the vertical sections. ### Claim 2 A tracked dumping compartment comprising frame cross members and frame rails, wherein a guide rail is fixed on the frame cross members, the guide rail supporting a chain, the chain comprising inner link plates, outer link plates, rollers, and pins, the outer link plates being divided into two types: conventional outer link plates and irregular outer link plates with a plate lug, wherein more than one of the conventional outer link plates is set between two of the irregular outer link plates, a circumferential excircle of the rollers of the chain is located within upper and lower edges of the inner link plates, the conventional outer link plates, and the irregular outer link plates, the rollers rotationally fit to the guide rail, carrier plates are fixed on the irregular outer link plates, and a rubber track is fixed on the carrier plates, characterized in that: a distance between a bottom and top of said guide rail being greater than a distance between the inner link plates on two sides of rollers, and a maximum width of a part of the guide rail which extends between the inner link plates being less than a distance between the inner link plates. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The tracked dumping compartment according to claim 1, characterized in that: each said blocking plate further comprises a second angled section supporting the rubber track and an included angle between the second angled section and a bottom surface of the rubber track is 0° to 90°. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The tracked dumping compartment according to claim 1, characterized in that: the rubber track located anywhere below the angled sections and between the vertical sections comprises at least three overlapped rubber tracks, one end of any of the rubber tracks is fixed on a corresponding one of the carrier plates with screws, and a free end of the rubber tracks travels beyond the respective carrier plate which is two carrier plates away from the free end and is put on the carrier plate which is three carrier plates away from the free end as it moves over a top of the chain. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The tracked dumping compartment according to claim 3, characterized in that: a plurality of powerless short rollers supporting the rubber track are set on said second angled sections. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The tracked dumping compartment according to claim 1, characterized in that: a cross-section of said guide rail is in the shape of any of a circle, rectangle, isosceles triangle, isosceles trapezoid, pentagon, semi-oblong, semi-ellipse, spindle, and bullet. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) A dump truck comprising the tracked dumping compartment as claimed in claim 1. ### Claim 8 (depends on 2) A dump truck comprising the tracked dumping compartment as claimed in claim 2.
