Method for assembling a conveyor chain for a pallet belt of a conveyor

A method for mounting a conveyor chain for a pallet belt of a moving walkway, the method comprising:

• providing a plurality of elongated chain links connected by a plurality of chain pins so as to be arranged at a chain spacing distance one behind the other in an extension direction of a conveyor chain of the moving walkway, wherein two chain links adjacent in the extension direction are coupled together in a joint area by a chain pin, wherein each of the two chain links can pivot with respect to the other about a central longitudinal axis of the chain pin;
• providing a plurality of elongated connecting elements to which pallets can be attached;
• coupling the connecting elements in a coupling process to one another and to the chain links, wherein:
• 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 chain pin and at a rear end to an associated second chain pin, wherein the first chain pin and the second chain pin couple chain links, and wherein a connecting element spacing distance between the first and second chain pins is an integer multiple of the chain spacing distance, and
• the connecting elements are coupled to the chain pins such that they can be pivoted transversely to the extension direction about the central longitudinal axes of the chain pins.
