The invention relates to an overload protection clutch used for shaft connection, and belongs to the technical field of connectors. The overload protection clutch used for shaft connection comprises a horizontal shaft and conical teeth arranged on the shaft in a penetrating mode, and the shaft and the conical teeth are independent; the shaft is sleeved with a nut in a threaded connection mode; a first clutch body used for axial power transmission is installed on the part, on the right side of the nut, of the shaft, the part, between the first clutch body and the nut, of the shaft is sleeved with a spring, the left end of the spring abuts against the nut, and the right end of the spring abuts against the first clutch body; a second clutch body capable of freely rotating around the shaft is installed on the part, on the right side of the first clutch body, of the shaft and connected with the first clutch body in a matched mode through a clutch claw; the second clutch body and the shaft are transversely positioned through built-in balls, and the left ends of the conical teeth are connected with the second clutch body through a spline. The overload protection clutch used for shaft connection is simple in structure and large in stress contact area, the tangential force is reduced, transmission is more stable, and overload protection is achieved.
