Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gas expansion shaft equipment, in particular to a convex key type gas expansion shaft with good fixing effect. Background Art

[0002] The gas expansion shaft is a special winding and unwinding shaft, that is, the shaft can form a protrusion on the surface after being inflated with high pressure. The shaft whose surface part quickly retracts after being deflated is called a gas expansion shaft. The gas expansion shaft is divided into key-type gas expansion shaft, plate-type gas expansion shaft, dot gas expansion shaft, etc. Among them, the convex key-type gas expansion shaft body is made of high-quality steel pipe with chrome-plated surface, and the aluminum convex key is flexible. Because the convex key-type gas expansion shaft inflates a single key strip, the fulcrum is spread to each key strip, and the force is balanced, which can be used for mechanical winding of heavy objects.

[0003] However, the keyed air shaft in the prior art still has the following deficiencies in actual use: first, when acting in the sleeve, the keyed air shaft is supported by the sleeve by the expanded airbag, and the airbag is an expandable and contractible material. When the key is extended and held by the sleeve, as the air pressure inside the air shaft continues to increase, the area where the outer surface of the airbag contacts the key will inevitably become concave, which will cause the area where the airbag contacts the bottom edge of the key to be greatly deformed. If this continues for a long time, the local position of the airbag will be in an over-stretched state for a long time, which is easy to cause damage to the airbag or even tearing. Crack; secondly, when the sleeve is wrapped around the material, it often provides a large pulling force to straighten the material, so that the two sides of the wound material can be flush and the winding quality can be ensured. However, the airbag itself is elastic and it is difficult to provide sufficient and stable squeezing force on the convex key, causing the sleeve to slide relative to the air expansion shaft. This may affect the efficiency of the sleeve's winding material, or even cause the sleeve to unwind and need to be rewound. In addition, if the side of the convex key that is under force retracts, it may also cause a deviation in the center position between the air expansion shaft body and the sleeve, that is, uneven concentricity, causing the sleeve to rotate unsmoothly and produce loud noise when winding the material.

[0022] See also Figure 5 , Figure 6 The fixed block 19 is internally movably sleeved with a rotating shaft 20, and a spur gear 21 is fixedly connected to the side of one end of the rotating shaft 20. The side of the spur gear 21 close to the intermediate tube 9 is meshed with a first rack 22 movably sleeved with the fixed block 19, and the side of the spur gear 21 away from the intermediate tube 9 is meshed with a second rack 23 movably sleeved with the fixed block 19. One end of the first rack 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 16 on one side, and one end of the second rack 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 16 on the other side. A mounting ring 24 is fixedly connected to the side of the other end of the rotating shaft 20, and four groups of equicircularly arranged gears are fixedly installed inside the mounting ring 24. A support spring 25 is provided, and a block 26 movably sleeved with the mounting ring 24 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the support spring 25. Four groups of movable chambers 27 located outside the mounting ring 24 are provided inside the fixed block 19. A rubber bellows 28 is fixedly installed at one end of the movable chamber 27 away from the mounting ring 24. A telescopic block 29 is fixedly connected to one end of the rubber bellows 28 facing the rotating shaft 20. A gas channel 30 is provided inside the connecting rod 14, and one end of the gas channel 30 extends into the fixed block 19. The sides of one end of the four groups of rubber bellows 28 are fixedly connected to connecting air pipes 31 connected to the gas channel 30.

[0023] like Figure 4 There is a one-to-one correspondence between the convex key 6 and the support block 18. The end of the convex key 6 facing the support block 18 is a concave arc, and the end of the support block 18 facing the convex key 6 is a convex arc matched therewith. Since the support block 18 is on the inner side of the airbag 5, the airbag 5 can synchronously support the convex key 6. It can not only prevent the edge of the airbag 5 that contacts the convex key 6 from being stretched severely and deformed greatly, causing the airbag 5 to tear due to long-term use, but also protect the airbag 5. At the same time, it can also provide auxiliary support for the convex key 6 to prevent the convex key 6 from shrinking under force and affecting the supporting effect of the air inflation shaft.

[0024] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 The clockwise side of the clamping block 26 away from the mounting ring 24 is provided with an arc surface, and the side of the telescopic block 29 opposite to the clamping block 26 when rotating clockwise is provided with an oblique slope surface. Through the cooperation of the clamping block 26 and the telescopic block 29, when the inside of the air-expanding shaft is filled with high-pressure air, the spur gear 21 can only rotate clockwise but not counterclockwise, so that the support block 18 can only extend or remain stationary but cannot be compressed and retracted, which can play a secondary supporting role for the convex key 6, avoiding the convex key 6 from being retracted inward due to force, causing the deviation of the center position between the air-expanding shaft body and the sleeve, causing the sleeve to rotate unsmoothly and produce large noise when winding the material.

[0025] like Figure 3 , Figure 5, one end of the gas channel 30 extending into the interior of the fixed block 19 forms a circular ring-shaped cross section inside the fixed block 19, and the other end of the gas channel 30 passes through the slider 13 and is connected to the mounting cavity 10 from the bottom of the slider 13. The setting of the gas channel 30 can conduct the air pressure inside the gas expansion shaft into the rubber bellows 28, and can ensure that the telescopic block 29 is always in an extended state when the gas expansion shaft is working, so that the gas expansion shaft can be inflated through the arc surface of the block 26 and the bevel slope of the telescopic block 29. When the block 26 rotates clockwise, the block 26 can automatically retract, ensuring that the rotating shaft 20 and the spur gear 21 can rotate clockwise but not counterclockwise, ensuring that the support block 18 can be synchronously extended with the airbag 5 to play an auxiliary support role, and after the work is completed, when the pressure inside the gas expansion shaft is released, the telescopic block 29 can retract under the rebound action of the rubber bellows 28, so that the spur gear 21 can rotate counterclockwise at this time, ensuring that the support block 18 can quickly retract with the airbag 5, which is convenient for quick disassembly.

[0026] Working principle: when the air-inflating shaft is working, the gas enters from the intake manifold 7, and enters the branch pipe 8 and the intermediate pipe 9 respectively. The gas entering the airbag 5 supports and expands the airbag 5, and at the same time drives the convex key 6 to support and tighten outward. At the same time, the gas will enter each installation cavity 10 and the rubber bellows 28 from the intermediate pipe 9. Under the internal air pressure of the installation cavity 10 and the drive of the airbag 5, the connecting blocks 16 on both sides will simultaneously drive the first support rod 15 and the second support rod 17 at both ends to approach the fixed block 19. At this time, the first rack 22 and the second rack drive the spur gear 21 to rotate clockwise during the relative movement, and the arc of the clockwise rotating block 26 faces the oblique slope of the extended telescopic block 29. Therefore, the rotating shaft 20 can rotate, which can enable the support block 18 to push outward to assist in supporting the airbag 5 and the convex key 6.

[0027] After the air-expanding shaft is fixed, when the convex key 6 is subjected to a large force causing the airbag 5 to be partially compressed and contracted, since the support block 18 needs to move inward, the fixed blocks 19 on both sides need to drive the first support rod 15 and the second support rod 17 to bend to both sides, that is, the first rack 22 and the second rack 23 need to be able to drive the spur gear 21 to rotate counterclockwise. During the counterclockwise rotation, the vertical surface of the clamping block 26 abuts against the vertical surface of the telescopic block 29, and the telescopic block 29 cannot be retracted under the action of the internal air pressure of the rubber bellows 28. Therefore, the telescopic block 29 will clamp the clamping block 26, so that the spur gear 21 cannot rotate counterclockwise, thereby causing the support block 18 to be unable to move inward, thereby playing a secondary supporting role for the convex key 6, ensuring the stability of the air-expanding shaft support, and preventing the convex key 6 from being compressed and causing the air-expanding shaft support effect to deteriorate.

[0028] When disassembling the inflatable shaft, the gas inside the inflatable shaft is released through the air valve. As the air pressure decreases, the rubber bellows 28 will drive the telescopic block 29 to retract into the movable cavity 27 under its own rebound effect, so that the rotating shaft 20 can rotate counterclockwise at this time. Therefore, when the airbag 5 retracts, it can drive the convex key 6 and the support block 18 to return to their original positions synchronously, making it easy to remove them quickly and improving work efficiency.
