Abstract: Aiming at the problems of complex structure, large space and high cost of the important component of capsule detection machine, the design layout, structural form and chain plate type of transmission chain were analyzed, and an improved design scheme was proposed. A new type of non-standard outer chain plate was designed to connect two parallel chains to form a new single-layer structure transmission chain. The feasibility of the design was verified by 3D modeling and mechanism simulation of key components. The results indicate that the improved single layer structure of the new transmission chain runs smoothly, and does not affect the detection effect of the capsule. The structure is greatly simplified, the weight and the manufacturing cost are reduced.
