Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of hinge rods, in particular to a hinge rod for a telescopic mechanism of a variable-diameter steel cage. Background Art

[0002] Variable diameter rebar cages are a widely used structural component in construction projects. Their characteristic is that their diameter can be varied to accommodate different project requirements. The basic principle of a variable diameter rebar cage is to bundle rebars of varying diameters together to form a framework with a specific shape, such as a cone, cylinder, polygon, pyramid, trapezoid, or bamboo-shaped column, to suit different project requirements. Their structure typically includes components such as reinforcing bars, guide rods, and floating rods. The bars are positioned around the guide rods and connected to them in a specific manner, forming a deformable and stable structure. Variable diameter rebar cages are widely used as reinforcement materials in infrastructure projects such as subways, highways, and bridges, enhancing their strength and stability. This change in diameter is typically achieved through a telescopic mechanism, with the hinge rod being a key component, enabling the cage diameter to be adjusted as needed.

[0003] During the movement of the hinge rod, the contact between the two hinge rod planes causes excessive frictional damping. This situation usually occurs after the hinge rod system has been running for a long time. Due to wear, dust accumulation or insufficient lubrication, the contact surface of the two hinge rods becomes uneven, which increases the frictional resistance during their relative movement. This increased frictional damping not only leads to a decrease in mechanical efficiency, but may also cause energy loss, temperature increase and accelerated component wear, ultimately affecting the stability and service life of the entire system. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a hinge rod for a telescopic mechanism of a variable diameter steel cage, so as to solve the problem of excessive friction in the movement of the existing hinge rod proposed in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a hinge rod for a telescopic mechanism of a variable-diameter steel cage, comprising a rod body one; a rod body two, which is located at the bottom of the rod body one and is rotatably connected to one end of the rod body one; and also comprising a rolling lubrication assembly; the rolling lubrication assembly is composed of a rolling member and a lubricating member, wherein the rolling member is located at the top position of one end of the rod body two, and the rolling member is rollingly connected to the bottom of one end of the rod body one, changing the original planar connection mode to a rolling connection, thereby reducing friction and ensuring normal operation during the telescopic process; the lubricating member is located at one end of the rod body one, and the lubricating member is located directly above the rolling member, and the lubricating member penetrates the rod body one and forms a channel to the rolling member position, so that during lubrication, the lubricating oil is poured from the lubricating member position, and then the lubricating oil is guided to the rolling member position, thereby achieving the purpose of lubrication.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, ball grooves are opened at equal angles on the top of one end of the rod body 2, and the rolling element includes a ball placed in each of the ball grooves. The ball is rollingly connected to the bottom of one end of the rod body 1, and a hole is opened at the bottom of one end of the rod body 1 for the ball to be inserted and rotated, which is not drawn in the figure, so as to accommodate the ball and limit the ball to prevent it from falling off. During rotation, the rod body 1 and the rod body 2 can be connected by the ball rolling to reduce friction.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, the lubricating part includes an annular groove opened at the top of one end of the rod body, and oil filling holes are opened at equal angles inside the annular groove. The oil filling holes are located directly above the ball. During lubrication, the lubricating oil is poured into the annular groove and then poured into the ball through the oil filling hole, thereby achieving lubrication of the ball.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, a sealing ring is also inserted into the annular groove, and the side wall of the sealing ring abuts against the inner wall of the opening of the annular groove, thereby sealing the oil filling hole and ensuring that the annular groove is sealed when lubrication is not required.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, an obtuse angle is formed between the rod body 1 and the rod body 2, and multiple screw holes are opened on the side walls of the obtuse angle area of ​​the rod body 2 and the rod body 1. The internal threads of the screw holes are connected to a hanging rod, and a spring can be hung through the hanging rod to achieve elastic limitation of the angle of the rod body 1 and the rod body 2, and the opening angle of the rod body 1 and the rod body 2 can be adjusted as needed.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, a slot is provided on one side of the hanging rod, and a spring is inserted into the slot (not shown in the figure). The spring can be easily installed through the provision of the slot.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, a connecting stud is passed through the end positions of the rod body one and the rod body two, and a nut is sleeved on the connecting stud. The nut is used to limit the position of the rod body two and the rod body one, but does not cause a tightening effect on the rod body one and the rod body two, thereby ensuring that the normal rotation of the rod body one and the rod body two is not affected.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] The utility model is provided with a rolling lubrication component, which cleverly transforms the original connection method that is prone to high friction resistance due to the flat surface contact into a rolling connection. The rolling connection replaces the sliding between the planes by the rotation of the rolling body, greatly reducing the contact area and the friction coefficient, so that the hinge rod can work more smoothly and with low energy consumption during the movement process, thereby significantly reducing friction and improving the operating efficiency and life of the mechanical system.

[0014] This rolling lubrication component not only optimizes the connection method, but also fully considers the maintenance requirements during long-term use. The built-in lubrication structure ensures that the rolling parts can be fully lubricated during continuous operation, effectively preventing wear and overheating caused by dry friction, ensuring that the rolling surface is always maintained in an ideal lubrication state, and extending the service life of the component.

[0015] In addition, the design of the rolling lubrication component also takes into account the needs of easy maintenance and inspection. It is equipped with a removable sealing ring, which makes it convenient for technicians to regularly check the status of the lubricant and replenish or replace it in time, thereby further ensuring the stable operation of the mechanical system.

[0033] The lubricating part is located at one end of the rod body 100, and the lubricating part is located directly above the rolling part. The lubricating part passes through the rod body 100 and forms a channel to the position of the rolling part. Therefore, during lubrication, the lubricating oil is poured from the lubricating part position, and then the lubricating oil is guided to the position of the rolling part to achieve the purpose of lubrication.

During rotation, the rod body 100 and the rod body 2 101 can be rollingly connected through the ball 107 to reduce friction.

[0035] In this embodiment, preferably, the lubricating part includes an annular groove 104 opened at the top of one end of the rod body 100, and the interior of the annular groove 104 is provided with oil filling holes 105 at equal angles.
