[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows.

[0017] There is at least 18.5 mm of space on the end face of the traction wheel. In the traction machine of the present invention, the encoder and the elastic piece can be directly taken out from the first hollow part by disassembling the mounting plate and the connecting plate, so as to replace the encoder, shortening the maintenance time and reducing the maintenance cost.

Preferably, the through hole 51 and the axis of the hollow part 11 coincide. Two symmetric protrusions 54 extend outward from the outer end surface of the front end cover 5, and the space between the two symmetric protrusions 54 and the outer end surface of the front end cover 5 forms the first clamping position 52.

[0026] The outer ring of the encoder 3 and the central part of the spring piece 4 are connected and fixed by screws. The encoder 3 is placed in the hollow part 11 through the through hole 51. Both ends of the spring piece 4 are respectively threadedly connected to the corresponding first screw holes 91 through two first screws 41. A step is provided near the outer end of the hollow part 11 of the machine base 10 to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the encoder 3 and the hollow part 11 of the machine base 10.

[0027] Avoidance holes 61 are provided on the connecting plate 6 corresponding to the positions of the first screws 41. A groove 62 is recessed on the inner end surface of the connecting plate 6. The connecting plate 6 is provided with a relief hole 63 communicating the outer and inner end surfaces. Two centrally symmetric flanges 64 are provided on the side wall of the relief hole 63.

[0031] During the replacement process of the encoder 3, loosen the fifth screw 82, remove the cover plate 8, loosen the first screw 41, the second screw 72 and the fourth screw 66, and then rotate the mounting plate 7 ( Figure 4 The dotted line indicates the position of the mounting plate 7 after rotation), so that the two ends of the mounting plate 7 and the flange 64 are offset, so as to remove the connecting plate 6, and then take out the mounting plate 7, the spring piece 4 and the encoder 3 together, and then remove the mounting plate 7 and the spring piece 4 to replace the encoder 3.

[0032] During the installation process of the encoder 3, the outer ring of the encoder 3 and the spring piece 4 are assembled first, and the encoder 3 is placed in the hollow part 11 of the machine base 10.

Finally, the notch 81 of the cover plate 8 is aligned with the mounting plate 7, and the cover plate 8 and the front end cover 5 are locked by the fifth screw 82.
