In industrial production, chain, as an important part of transmission and conveying system, is widely used in various mechanical equipment. At the same time, with the increasing concern about the safety of working environment and the health of employees, the application of Ergonomics has been paid more and more attention. This paper will discuss how to combine the principles of chain design and ergonomics in machinery manufacturing industry to improve work efficiency, reduce occupational injuries and improve product quality.

1. The development and importance of chain technology

Chain is a traditional mechanism that can effectively transmit power or materials. It is not only used in traditional transportation equipment such as bicycles and motorcycles, but also plays a vital role in complex industrial production lines. For example, the continuous moving conveyor belt on the automobile assembly line is driven by a series of chains. Correct selection and maintenance of chain is very important to ensure the smooth operation of production line.

2. Basic concepts of ergonomics

Ergonomics is a discipline that studies the interaction between human beings and products, aiming at improving people's working conditions, reducing labor intensity, preventing industrial accidents, and ultimately achieving the goal of improving productivity. field of mechanical manufacturing, this involves many aspects such as machine design, operation interface layout and workflow arrangement.

3. Combining the principles of chain technology and ergonomics

Safety: ensure that the installation position of the chain is easy to check and will not pose a safety hazard. For example, use a protective cover to cover the rapidly rotating parts to avoid accidental contact by workers.

Accessibility: the design takes into account the convenience of maintenance personnel to replace worn parts. Modular design can simplify this process and make it easier for technicians to get in touch with the key parts that need regular maintenance.

Comfort: Considering the operator's operating habits, rationally plan the position of the control panel to make it conform to ergonomic standards and reduce the fatigue of long-term work.

Efficiency improvement: Using advanced sprocket tooth profile design and material science achievements, a new type of chain with lighter weight, wear resistance and low noise is developed, thus speeding up production and reducing energy consumption.

4. Case analysis

An automobile manufacturer has adopted an intelligent chain system in its latest production line, which conforms to the ergonomics design concept. The system has automatic lubrication function, which reduces the need for manual intervention; Equipped with sensors to monitor the state of links and timely warn of possible failures; And the whole device is compact in structure, leaving more room for field engineers. These improvement measures have significantly improved the overall performance of the factory, reduced maintenance costs, and improved employee satisfaction.

In a word, the combination of chain technology and ergonomics is one of the key ways to promote the development of machinery manufacturing to a higher level. future, with the emergence of new materials and technologies, we have reason to believe that innovation in this field will bring more exciting changes.
