其实，管链输送机是在密闭的管道里面，通过链条带动盘片，拉着物料前进的一种新型的输送设备。
In fact, the pipe chain conveyor is a new type of conveying equipment which drives the disc through the chain and pulls the material forward in the closed pipeline.
但从布置上来说，也可以分为：管链提升机、管链输送机，这里相信不用笔者作太深奥的讲解，就是这种结构输送机的提升或者水平输送呗；从管内链条、盘片的结构上来说，可以分为：环链式管链输送机和板链式管链输送机，这里面，就涉及到管链输送机的结构布置和使用范围了。
But from the layout, it can also be divided into: pipe chain elevator, pipe chain conveyor, here I believe that without the author's too profound explanation, is the structure of the conveyor's hoisting or horizontal conveyor; from the inside chain, disc structure, can be divided into: ring chain pipe chain conveyor and plate chain pipe chain conveyor. In this respect, it involves the structure layout and application scope of the pipe chain conveyor.
