The application discloses a safety shaft suitable for limited space,
torque transmission, overload protection and resetting method, which comprises a driven section, a pre-tightening spring is sleeved outside the driven section, one end of the pre-tightening spring abuts against a cylindrical disengaging section which is sleeved outside the driven section through a
ball spline pair, one end of the disengaging section away from the pre-tightening spring is connected with a cylindrical driving section which is sleeved outside the driven section along the circumferential direction through a
clutch mechanism, an installation
blind hole is formed in the driven section corresponding to one end of the driving section along the axial direction, a
cam shaft with one end extending outward is coaxially and rotationally matched in the installation
blind hole, and a
cam mechanism is arranged on the inner end of the
cam shaft and penetrates through the driven section along the radial direction and abuts against the inner wall of the disengaging section. The torque limiting function is integrated in the transmission shaft body through
integrated design, so that the overload can be quickly disengaged, reliable self-locking after disengagement and convenient manual resetting can be realized, and the
torque transmission and overload protection can be completed without destroying the continuity and
mechanical integrity of the transmission shaft structure.
