Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of band saw technology, specifically a band saw with a tension display device. Background Technology
[0002] In woodworking band saws, the tensioning mechanism is an important component. It uses the tension of the elastic element to move the upper wheel away from the lower wheel, thereby tensioning the saw blade connected to the upper and lower wheels against the wheels. The rotation of the wheels drives the saw blade to move, thus achieving the purpose of cutting wood.
[0003] Currently, there are many types of saw blade tensioning mechanisms, including quick-tensioning and ordinary tensioning types. Quick-tensioning mechanisms are further divided into circumferential cam type and end-face cam type. Regardless of the type of tensioning mechanism used, the saw blade must be tensioned to the appropriate position during machine use. If the tension is too low, the saw blade may fall off during operation, causing a safety hazard; if the tension is too high, the saw blade will be used under excessive tension for a long time, which will shorten its lifespan and may also lead to breakage.
[0004] Prioritizing the safety and protective measures of woodworking machinery is crucial to preventing accidents and ensuring personal safety during operation. Therefore, maximizing user safety is paramount when operating band saws.
[0005] Current band saws require operators to press and feel the deflection of the saw blade with their fingers for adjustment. This method is difficult for beginners. Alternatively, a pointer can be installed on the tensioning mechanism, and the machine body has tensioning positions for different widths of saw blades. Adjusting the tensioning mechanism to make the pointer point to the corresponding saw blade width position introduces a certain tension error. Furthermore, as the machine is used for a longer period of time, the saw blade length will increase, and the position indicated by the pointer will become inaccurate. If the saw blade is not tensioned at the optimal tension position, it will cause great inconvenience and safety hazards to the operator. Therefore, we propose a band saw with a tension display device. Utility Model Content
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

Adjusting the position of the upper wheel displays the tension value in real time, making adjustments more accurate and convenient for customers. This invention features a simple and reasonable structure, novel design, and easy and convenient operation, possessing high practical value. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0025] Example: Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model discloses a band saw with a tension display device, including a sliding potentiometer 1. One end of the sliding potentiometer 1 is electrically connected to a digital display screen 2. A threaded plate 3 is slidably connected to the bottom of the sliding potentiometer 1. A potentiometer bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the threaded plate 3. A slider 8 is slidably connected to the top of the sliding potentiometer 1. An upper wheel shaft 7 is fixedly installed at the center end of one side of the slider 8. A hanging plate 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 8. A groove 601 is opened on the surface of the hanging plate 6.
[0026] The sliding potentiometer 1 is externally fixed with a tensioning frame 9, and a threaded rod 10 is slidably connected inside the tensioning frame 9. The outer periphery of the threaded rod 10 passes through the tensioning frame 9 and is slidably connected to the slider 8. The bottom of the threaded rod 10 is threadedly connected to the threaded plate 3. By setting the threaded rod 10, the threaded plate 3 can be moved by rotating the threaded rod 10, thereby adjusting the height of the threaded plate 3.
[0027] The threaded rod 10 is fixedly connected to a tension knob 11 at its upper end, and a potentiometer push rod 101 is provided at the upper end of the sliding potentiometer 1. The potentiometer push rod 101 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding potentiometer 1. By setting the tension knob 11, the threaded rod 10 can be rotated by rotating the tension knob 11.
[0028] A spring 5 is sleeved on the lower outer circumference of the threaded rod 10, and the upper and lower ends of the spring 5 are in contact with the bottom of the slider 8 and the upper end of the threaded plate 3, respectively. When the spring 5 is compressed, the reaction force is applied to the slider 8, causing the slider 8 to move upward together with the upper wheel shaft 7 and the upper wheel 12. This increases the distance between the upper wheel 12 and the lower wheel 14, and the saw blade 13 is tensioned, so that the saw blade 13 maintains an appropriate tension.
[0029] The upper wheel 12 is rotatably connected to the outer circumference of the upper wheel shaft 7, and the lower wheel 14 is connected to the outer circumference of the upper wheel 12 through the saw blade 13. By setting the saw blade 13, the upper wheel 12 and the lower wheel 14 are connected through the saw blade 13. The position of the upper wheel 12 is adjusted by rotating the tension knob 11, and the tension value is displayed in real time, making the adjustment more accurate and convenient for customers to operate.
[0030] One side of the potentiometer push rod 101 passes through the slot 601 and is fixedly connected to the hanging plate 6, and one side of the slider potentiometer 1 is fixedly connected to the potentiometer bracket 4. By setting the slot 601, the potentiometer push rod 101 can move through the slot 601 and follow the hanging plate 6, and the value on the digital display screen 2 changes accordingly.
[0031] The tension knob 11 has anti-slip textures around its surface. These textures increase the roughness of the contact surface, thereby improving friction and ensuring that the user can hold the tension knob 11 firmly and rotate it without slipping.
[0032] Among them, see Figure 5 In the diagram, A represents the screen, and B represents the sliding potentiometer tensioning device structure formed by all the above structures.
[0033] Working Principle: In use, this sliding potentiometer is used in conjunction with the display screen. When the machine is powered on, the tension value will be displayed on the digital display screen 2. If the tension value is too low, rotate the tension knob 11 to rotate the threaded rod 10, causing the threaded plate 3 to move upwards. The threaded plate 3 compresses the spring 5, and the reaction force of the spring 5 is applied to the slider 8, causing the slider 8, along with the upper wheel shaft 7 and the upper wheel 12, to move upwards. This increases the distance between the upper wheel 12 and the lower wheel 14, thus tensioning the saw blade 13. Due to the tension of the saw blade 13, as the threaded plate 3 and the slider 8 move upwards simultaneously, the relative distance between them decreases, causing the potentiometer push rod 101 to shift. The value on the digital display screen 2 changes accordingly until the appropriate value is achieved. If the tension is too high, the opposite adjustment will occur.
