         10 . The chain compressor of  claim 5 , wherein a guide part protrudes from the base part, the guide part being configured to allow the position adjustment unit to pass therethrough and to provide a movement path for the position adjustment unit, and
 the position adjustment unit is movable on the base part by passing through the guide part, and is configured to contact and press one surface of the main body part.   
     
     
         11 . The chain compressor of  claim 5 , further comprising a drive unit configured to receive power from an external source and transmit power to the position adjustment unit. 
     
     
         12 . A chain compressor comprising:
 a support roller;   an adjustment unit that supports the support roller;   a frame part provided to support the adjustment unit; and   an adjustment plate provided between the frame part and the adjustment unit,   wherein at least one of a position or a direction of the support roller is adjusted by using the adjustment plate.   
     
     
         13 . The chain compressor of  claim 12 , wherein the adjustment plate comprises a first adjustment plate having a predetermined thickness, and the position of the support roller is adjusted by using the first adjustment plate. 
     
     
         14 . The chain compressor of  claim 12 , wherein the adjustment plate comprises a second adjustment plate provided to have opposing surfaces forming a preset angle, and
 the direction of the support roller is adjusted by using the second adjustment plate.   
     
     
         15 . The chain compressor of  claim 13 , further comprising a first fixing plate that prevents the first adjustment plate from detaching,
 wherein the first adjustment plate further comprises a protrusion that is supported by the first fixing plate.   
     
     
         16 . The chain compressor of  claim 14 , further comprising a second fixing plate that prevents the second adjustment plate from detaching, and has a preset curvature. 
     
     
         17 . The chain compressor of  claim 16 , wherein the second adjustment plate comprises a fixing groove on an upper portion thereof, and
