[0047] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection", "connection", "fixed connection", "fixed connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integrated connection; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication of two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0048] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 The clutch mechanism in the present patent is used to realize the engagement and separation of the rotating shaft 6 and the support frame assembly 7. The rotating shaft 6 is mounted on the support frame assembly 7 through a bearing, and can rotate around a fixed axis relative to the support frame assembly 7. The main body of the support frame assembly 7 is a support frame 8. The clutch mechanism mainly consists of a clutch disc 1, a rotating key 2 and a control member 5. The clutch disc is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 6; the rotating key 2 is hinged on the support frame assembly 7 and connected with the support frame assembly through a elastic element, which presses the rotating key on the fixed position of the support frame assembly, so that it cannot freely rotate relative to the support frame assembly, at this time the rotating key is in the initial state; the control member 5 and the rotating shaft are coaxially hinged on the support frame and limited in the rotating range by the support frame, and a control pin 4 is fixedly connected on it. When the control member 5 rotates, the rotating key is driven to rotate through the control pin 4 on it, so that the rotating key contacts or separates from the clutch disc, thereby realizing the engagement or separation of the rotating shaft and the support frame.
[0049] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the support frame assembly includes support frame 8, support frame connecting member 9, and rotating key mounting frame 3, etc. The rotating key mounting frame is fixed to the support frame connecting member, and the support frame connecting member is fixed to the support frame. The outer periphery of the clutch disc 1 is uniformly provided with a plurality of semicircular grooves 10. As shown Figure 2 As shown, the main structure of the rotating key is a cylindrical entity 13 with a groove structure 15. One end of the rotating key is provided with an inner groove 14, which can adopt various forms, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inner groove can be a one-sided inner groove, such as Figure 3 As shown, it can also be a through groove 31 symmetrical on both sides, such as Figure 4 As shown, it can also be a through groove 31 asymmetrical on both sides, such as Figure 5 As shown, it can also be a protrusion 32 with only a single side structure, such as Figure 6 As shown, it can also have a chamfer 33 on one side to facilitate the entry of the control pin. In short, as long as the control pin can enter and the rotating key can be actuated, the inner groove can adopt various forms. The radius of the cylindrical entity 13 is slightly smaller than the radius of the semicircular groove of the clutch disc, the radius of the arc surface 16 of the groove structure is slightly larger than the radius of the clutch disc, and the width of the inner groove 14 is slightly larger than the diameter of the control pin 4. As shown Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the rotating key mounting frame is provided with a positioning sleeve 17 and a rotating key mounting frame inner groove 18, which passes through the positioning sleeve and has a radius slightly larger than the radius of the clutch disc.
[0050] As shown Figure 1 The cylindrical entity 13 of the rotating key is hinged to the positioning sleeve 17 through a sliding bearing, and the clutch disc is fixed to the rotating shaft through a spline, etc., and the edge portion with the semicircular groove 10 passes through the rotating key mounting frame inner groove. The rotating key mounting frame is fixed with a positioning pin 11, and the rotating key is fixed with a limiting pin 12. A torsional spring 30 is sleeved on the rotating key, one end of which is fixed to the limiting pin 12, and the other end is pressed against the positioning pin 11, so that the limiting pin is pressed against the positioning pin, thereby fixing the position of the rotating key relative to the rotating key mounting frame. At this time, the axis of the arc surface 16 coincides with the axis of the rotating shaft, i.e. the groove structure faces the clutch disc and does not interfere with the rotation of the clutch disc. At this time, the rotating shaft and the support frame assembly are in a separated state.
[0051] The process of actuating the rotating key by the control member 5 is as shown Figure 10 to Figure 12 When the control member 5 is rotated to a certain angle, the control pin 4 thereon will be inserted into the inner groove 14 of the rotating key, actuating the rotating key to separate the limiting pin from the positioning pin, and at the same time, the corresponding entity of the groove structure 15 enters the semicircular groove of the clutch disc, thereby limiting the rotation of the clutch disc relative to the rotating key mounting frame, and further realizing the engagement of the rotating shaft and the support frame assembly, as shown Figure 12When the control member 5 rotates in the opposite direction, the control pin 4 on it is out of the inner groove 14 of the rotating key, and the corresponding entity of the groove structure 15 is out of the semicircular groove 10 of the clutch disc. Under the action of the torsional spring 30, the limiting pin 12 on the rotating key will be pressed on the positioning pin 11 again, ensuring that the corresponding entity of the groove structure 15 is out of the semicircular groove 10 of the clutch disc. At this time, the rotating shaft and the support frame assembly are in a separated state, as shown in Figure 10 In the above process, the control member 5 only needs to rotate a small angle, and the corresponding entity of the groove structure can quickly enter or exit the semicircular groove on the outer circumference of the clutch disc, thereby achieving agile engagement and disengagement.
[0052] The support frame limits the rotation range of the control member 5 in the following way. As shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 10 to Figure 12 The support frame 8 has a plurality of limiting bosses 28 on the upper part, which are distributed around the rotating axis of the control member 5. The control member 5 has a limiting protrusion 29, and after the control member 5 is hingedly installed with the support frame, the limiting protrusion 29 on it is between the above two adjacent limiting bosses 28. The movement range of the limiting protrusion 29 is limited by the limiting bosses 28, thereby realizing the limitation of the rotation range of the control member 5 by the support frame.
[0053] The translation of the movement into the rotation of the control member 5 can be realized in the following way, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the rotation of the control member 5.
[0054] Specifically, as shown in Figure 13- Figure 14 The control member 5 is further connected with the support frame through a connecting rod mechanism. The connecting rod mechanism is composed of a plurality of hingedly connected connecting rods, including a traction rod 19, a translation member 20 and an anti-tilting mechanism 21. The traction rod is hingedly connected with the control member 5 through a traction rod connecting shaft 23; the translation member is hingedly connected with the corresponding traction rod through a translation member connecting shaft 24, and the end of the translation member away from the traction rod is hingedly connected with the anti-tilting mechanism.
[0055] As shown in Figure 14 The anti-tilting mechanism 21 is used to further limit the movement freedom degree of the translation member, mainly composed of a positioning base 25, a base connecting rod 26 and a pull rod 27. The positioning base is fixedly connected on the support frame; one end of the base connecting rod is hingedly connected with the positioning base; the other end of the base connecting rod is hingedly connected with one end of the pull rod, and the other end of the pull rod is hingedly connected with the translation member.
[0056] The traction rod 19, the translation member 20 and the anti-tilting mechanism 21 form a Sarrus linkage mechanism with the control member 5 and the support frame. The installation relationship of the control member 5, the traction rod, the translation member and the anti-tilting mechanism enables the translation member to only translate along the normal direction of the rotation axis of the control member 5. When the translation member translates along the normal direction of the rotation axis of the control member 5, the control member 5 is driven to rotate, thereby converting the translation movement into the rotation of the control member 5, and further controlling the engagement or disengagement of the rotation axis and the support frame.
[0057] In addition, in order to make the force on the clutch disc and other components more reasonable, a plurality of rotating keys can be installed. Specifically, a plurality of rotating keys are hinged on the rotating key mounting frame, and a plurality of control pins are installed on the control member. The hinged positions of the rotating keys and the installed positions of the control pins are matched, and are matched with the distribution of the semicircular grooves on the clutch disc. Through the rotation of the control member 5, the synchronous rotation of the plurality of rotating keys can be realized, thereby realizing the engagement and disengagement of the rotation axis and the support frame assembly.
[0058] Through the above-mentioned manner, the translation movement in multiple directions can also be converted into the rotation of the control member. As shown in Figure 15 , three traction rods 19, three translation members 20 and three anti-tilting mechanisms 21 are used. The three traction rods are evenly installed on the control member, and each traction rod is hinged to the control member through a traction rod connecting shaft 23. The three translation members are respectively hinged to the corresponding traction rods through translation member connecting shafts 24, and the ends of the translation members away from the traction rods are hinged to the anti-tilting mechanisms. Under the joint action of the anti-tilting mechanisms, the three translation members can only translate, approaching or moving away from the rotation axis of the control member. When the translation members translate, the traction rods are pulled, and the traction rods drive the control member to rotate, thereby realizing the conversion of the translation movement in multiple directions into the rotation of the control member, and further controlling the engagement or disengagement of the rotation axis and the support frame.
[0059] Through combination, the clutch mechanism can be realized as a double-rotating-key structure, as shown in Figure 16 and Figure 17 . The double-rotating-key structure can ensure that the two rotating keys tightly lock the clutch disc, and there is no empty return when the rotation direction of the rotation axis is changed, thereby making the engagement of the rotation axis and the support frame more reliable.
[0060] Specifically, the support frame assembly 7 includes two support frames 8 which are fixedly connected together through a support frame connecting member 9 and are respectively located on the two sides of the clutch disc. The control member and the rotating key are both two, which are installed on the two support frames 8 in the same manner as described above. The installation positions of the two rotating keys on the rotating key mounting frame are symmetrical, and the installation directions are opposite. The two control members rotate synchronously, and the rotating keys are driven to rotate synchronously by the control pins 4 fixedly connected thereto, but the directions are opposite, thereby realizing the engagement or disengagement of the rotation axis and the support frame assembly in the double-rotating-key structure.
[0061] The synchronous rotation of the two control members is realized by the following way. The control members on one side are connected with the support frames on the corresponding side through the connecting rod mechanisms. The connecting rod mechanisms on the two sides are connected, so that the synchronous rotation of the control members is realized. Specifically, as shown in Figure 16 and 17 , the two sides are connected through the synchronous assembly 22, so that the translation of the translation members is synchronized.
[0062] With the synchronous rotation of the two control members, the two control pins are inserted into the inner grooves of the corresponding rotation keys and rotate the rotation keys, and the corresponding entities of the groove structures of the two rotation keys are turned into the semicircular grooves of the clutch disc, so that the rotating shaft is engaged with the support frame assembly, as shown in Figure 18 . When the two control pins are driven out of the inner grooves of the corresponding rotation keys with the reverse synchronous rotation of the two control members, the corresponding entities of the groove structures 15 of the two rotation keys are driven out of the semicircular grooves 10 of the clutch disc, and the two torsion springs 30 ensure that the rotating shaft and the support frame assembly are in a separated state, as shown in Figure 19 .
[0063] Similarly, the double-rotation-key structure can also convert the translation movement in multiple directions into the rotation of the control members. As shown in Figure 20 to 24 , the support frames on the two sides are correspondingly installed with three traction rods 19, three translation members 20 and three anti-overturning mechanisms 21 in the same way, and the corresponding translation members on the two sides are connected through the synchronous assembly 22, so that the opposite translation members are fixedly connected and the movement of the two translation members is synchronized, thereby realizing the conversion of the translation movement in multiple directions into the control of the double-rotation-key clutch mechanism.
[0064] As shown in Figure 20 , 22 -24, when the translation members in the connecting rod mechanism move away from the axis of the rotating shaft, the control members are driven to rotate, the control pins gradually enter the inner grooves of the rotation keys, the rotation keys are driven to rotate, the corresponding entities of the groove structures are turned into the semicircular grooves of the clutch disc, the clutch disc is engaged with the rotation key mounting frame, and the rotating shaft is engaged with the support frame. The above process is also true in the opposite direction.
[0065] In summary, the clutch mechanism of the present application has a compact structure, and the control members can realize the engagement and disengagement of the rotating shaft and the support frame assembly with a small angle of rotation, and the action is agile; the same components can be combined to realize the double-rotation-key structure, the types of parts are few, the maintenance is convenient, and the control cost is low; when the double-rotation-key structure is used, the two rotation keys can tightly lock the clutch disc, and there is no empty return when the rotating shaft suddenly changes the direction of rotation, so that the engagement of the rotating shaft and the support frame is more reliable; the clutch mechanism has no moving pairs and gear pairs, and uses control members with fixed-axis rotation and translation members with translation movement to control the clutch action, which is convenient to control, simple in structure, applicable in harsh environments and heavy load working conditions, and high in reliability.
[0066] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be pointed out that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as falling within the protection scope of the present application.
