Abstract
A chain link for a plate link chain of a chain conveyor, having two disk-shaped side walls that are spaced apart from one another in parallel in a transverse direction of the chain link and fixedly connected to one another. The side walls each include a rabbet having a force transmission surface oriented essentially perpendicularly with respect to a longitudinal direction of the chain link, and the force transmission surface is designed and provided for the direct transmission of force to a conveyor plate of the chain conveyor. A kit comprising such a chain link and a conveyor plate, and a chain conveyor having a plurality of such kits are also provided.

A chain link for a plate link chain of a chain conveyor, the chain link comprising:
- two side walls that are spaced apart from one another in parallel in a transverse direction of the chain link and fixedly connected to one another, the two side walls each including at least one rabbet,
- wherein the at least one rabbet includes a force transmission surface oriented essentially perpendicularly with respect to a longitudinal direction of the chain link, the force transmission surface being designed and provided for a direct transmission of force to a conveyor plate of the chain conveyor, and
- wherein the two side walls are formed as identical parts and each have a constant thickness.
A kit comprising:
- a chain link;
- and
- a conveyor plate of a chain conveyor,
- wherein the chain link includes two side walls that are spaced apart from one another in parallel in a transverse direction of the chain link and fixedly connected to one another, the two side walls including at least one rabbet that has a force transmission surface oriented essentially perpendicularly with respect to a longitudinal direction of the chain link, the force transmission surface being designed and provided for a direct transmission of force to the conveyor plate of the chain conveyor, and
- wherein, for each of the two side walls of the chain link, the conveyor plate has an insertion opening with which a portion of each respective side wall or a stud of each respective side wall engages in a form-fit manner for directly transmitting force from the force transmission surface to the conveyor plate.
