[0002] Speed-regulating rollers, as an important component of transmission and conveying systems, have wide applications in transmission machinery. Existing speed-regulating rollers include those driven by asynchronous motors and those driven by direct-drive motors. Asynchronous motor-driven rollers adjust speed by changing the frequency of the asynchronous motor; direct-drive rollers control the rotational speed by changing the current frequency. To date, many patents have improved upon existing speed-regulating rollers. CN113027997A discloses a multi-functional harvesting machinery adjustable speed roller transmission box that achieves speed regulation by changing the gear ratio; CN214454501U discloses an adjustable speed transmission roller; and CN109132356A discloses an adjustable speed hydraulic axial piston type transmission roller.

[0003] The above analysis shows that traditional speed-regulating rollers still suffer from complex structures, poor heat dissipation, and low power consumption. Magnetorheological fluids, with their fast response, high torque transmission, and low energy consumption, can effectively solve these problems when applied to speed-regulating rollers.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention mainly includes a drum 1, an excitation coil 2, dynamic sealing rings (3, 6, 17), an active friction plate 4, a driven friction plate 5, a support sleeve 7, a bearing I 8, a radial fan 9, an end plate 10, an inner cage 11, an outer cage 12, a liquid injection bolt 13, a sealing ring 14, a wire hole 15, a support plate 16, heat dissipation holes (18, 24, 25), a retaining ring 19, a bearing II 20, a bushing 21, a main shaft 22, and a drain bolt 23.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown in the schematic diagram of the present invention, the main shaft 22 is mounted on the end plate 10 via bearing I 8, and on the support plate 16 via bearing II 20 and bushing 21. The main shaft 22 is threadedly connected to the support sleeve 7 and the radial fan 9. At the same time, a retaining ring 19 is provided between the support sleeve 7 and the main shaft 22. The support plate 7 and the sealing ring 14 are respectively equipped with active friction plate 4 and driven friction plate 5 via keyways. The excitation coil 2 is placed between the drum 1 and the sealing ring 14. Dynamic sealing rings (3, 6, 17) are installed between the support sleeve 7, the end plate 10, the sealing ring 14 and the support plate 16.

[0024] The end plate 10 has a hollow structure and works together with the heat dissipation holes on the support sleeve 7, support plate 16 and bushing 21 to dissipate heat with the radial fan; the end plate 10 has wire holes 15, and the rotation speed is adjusted by changing the current in the holes.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown in the schematic diagram of the support sleeve of the present invention, the support sleeve 7 is installed on the main shaft 22 by a threaded connection and has heat dissipation holes (24, 25).

[0026] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown in the schematic diagram of the active friction plate and the driven friction plate of the present invention, the active friction plate 4 and the driven friction plate 5 are respectively mounted on the support sleeve 7 and the sealing ring 14 through keyways; an inner retainer 11 is provided between the active friction plates 4, and an outer retainer 12 is provided between the driven friction plates 5.

[0027] A speed regulation method for a forced air-cooled high-power MRF speed-regulating roller: The space between the active friction plate 4 and the driven friction plate 5 is filled with magnetorheological fluid. Under the action of the excitation coil 2, the magnetic particles of the magnetorheological fluid are arranged into a chain structure along the magnetic field direction. The relative motion between the active friction plate 4 and the driven friction plate 5 causes the chain structure to be subjected to the shear force of the magnetorheological fluid film. By controlling the magnitude of the current in the wire hole 15, the magnetic field strength is changed, thereby changing the torque between the active friction plate 4 and the driven friction plate 5, thus achieving the purpose of changing the roller speed. At the same time, the radial fan 9 rotates with the main shaft 22 to provide forced heat dissipation for the magnetorheological fluid.

[0028] The above embodiments are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Without departing from the spirit of the invention, various modifications and improvements to the invention by those skilled in the art should be included within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
