Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical transmission systems, and in particular to an adaptive ratchet-type bidirectional linear engagement and disengagement device and a method for using the same. Background Art

[0002] The overrunning clutch is one of the basic components of mechanical transmission. It is a clutch that automatically engages or disengages as the speed of the master and driven parts changes or the direction of rotation changes. It is widely used in packaging machinery, food machinery, light industrial machinery, agricultural machinery, metallurgy and mining, petrochemical industry, machine tools, automobiles, weapons, aviation, power stations and other mechanical equipment.

[0003] The uses of overrunning clutches are: (1) Speed ​​change: Without disengaging the kinematic chain, the driven part can achieve two speeds: fast and slow. (2) Preventing reverse rotation: a one-way overrunning clutch transmits torque in one direction of rotation, but idles under the action of torque in the opposite direction. (3) Intermittent motion: By combining a two-way overrunning clutch with a one-way overrunning clutch, the driven part can achieve a certain regular intermittent motion.

[0004] Currently, all bidirectional overrunning clutches on the domestic and international markets are of the controllable rotation type. However, in some specific applications, a device capable of bidirectional automatic engagement and disengagement in linear motion is required. For example, the running gear of a conventional electromagnetic levitation train is composed of multiple sets of continuous suspension modules. During the train's operation, each suspension module is required to move in a coordinated manner and automatically adapt to track changes. On straight routes, the suspension modules can self-lock in both directions laterally to resist wind loads and prevent the train from overturning. On curved routes, the suspension modules can automatically adjust their lateral position, that is, automatically separate laterally from the carriages, allowing the train to pass smoothly through the curve. However, due to technical limitations, there is currently no reliable lateral support device that can achieve the above functions. Summary of the Invention

[0032] In addition, the present invention also provides a method for using an adaptive ratchet-type bidirectional linear engagement and separation device, the specific steps of which are as follows:

[0033] S1, reset state:

[0034] The left pawl and the right pawl on the left pawl slider and the right pawl slider are respectively inserted into the corresponding tooth grooves of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail, the unlocking pin of the base is at the starting position of the left unlocking inclined surface and the right unlocking inclined surface, the end faces of the left pawl slider and the right pawl slider are in close contact with the boss of the base, and the connecting rod pin of the connecting rod group is at the lower limit position of the connecting rod slot of the base;

[0035] S2, engaged state, the bidirectional ratchet guide moves to the right, the base is driven, v1 ≥ v4 or v4 = 0:

[0036] The bidirectional ratchet guide acts on the right pawl of the right pawl slider, making the right pawl slider tend to move in the same direction; the left pawl slider fits the end face of the base, so the left pawl slider and the base maintain the same movement state.

[0037] Under the coordinated action of the six-bar mechanism composed of the left-direction ratchet slider, the right-direction ratchet slider, the left slider connecting rod, the right slider connecting rod, the base and the connecting rod sliding groove, the base is relatively fixed, and the left-direction ratchet slider is restricted by the base and is also relatively fixed. Therefore, the right-direction ratchet slider transmits the force of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail to the base through the following force transmission path: bidirectional ratchet guide rail → right ratchet slider → right slider connecting rod → left slider connecting rod → left-direction ratchet slider → base, thereby realizing automatic engagement between the base and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail;

[0038] S3, engaged state, the bidirectional ratchet guide moves to the left, the base is driven, v1 ≥ v4 or v4 = 0:

[0039] The bidirectional ratchet guide acts on the left pawl on the left pawl slider, making the left pawl slider tend to rotate in the same direction. The right pawl slider fits the end face of the base, so the right pawl slider and the base maintain the same motion state.

[0040] Under the coordinated action of the six-bar mechanism composed of the left-direction ratchet slider, the right-direction ratchet slider, the left slider connecting rod, the right slider connecting rod, the base and the connecting rod sliding groove, the base is relatively fixed, and the right-direction ratchet slider is restricted by the base and is also relatively fixed. Therefore, the left-direction ratchet slider transmits the force of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail to the base through the following force transmission path: bidirectional ratchet guide rail → left ratchet → left-direction ratchet slider → left slider connecting rod → right slider connecting rod → right-direction ratchet slider → base, thereby realizing automatic engagement between the base and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail;

[0041] S4, separation state: the base moves to the right, the bidirectional ratchet guide is driven, when v4 ≥ v1:

[0042] The base pushes the right pawl slider to move in the same direction, and the right pawl slider and the two-way ratchet guide rail are naturally unlocked.

[0043] The left pawl of the left pawl slider is still in meshing state with the lower ratchet bar of the two-way ratchet guide rail. The base cannot drive the left pawl slider to move in the same direction. The left pawl slider is temporarily relatively fixed.

[0044] The unlocking pin on the base acts on the left unlocking inclined surface of the left pawl on the left pawl slider, pushing the left pawl upward to disengage it from the tooth groove of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail, thereby releasing the meshing relationship between the left pawl slider and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail. The left pawl slider is disengaged from the bidirectional ratchet guide rail, realizing bidirectional automatic separation of the base and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail;

[0045] S5, separation state: the base moves to the left, the bidirectional ratchet guide is driven, when v4 ≥ v1:

[0046] The base pushes the left pawl slider to move in the same direction, and the left pawl slider and the two-way ratchet guide rail are naturally unlocked.

[0047] The right pawl of the right-hand pawl slider is still in meshing with the upper ratchet bar of the two-way ratchet guide rail. The base cannot drive the right-hand pawl slider to move in the same direction. The right-hand pawl slider is temporarily relatively fixed.

[0048] The unlocking pin on the base acts on the right unlocking inclined surface of the right pawl on the right pawl slider, pushing the right pawl downward to disengage it from the tooth groove of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail, thereby releasing the engagement relationship between the right pawl slider and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail, and the right pawl slider disengages from the bidirectional ratchet guide rail, realizing bidirectional automatic separation of the base and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail.

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0050] The present invention provides an adaptive ratchet-type bidirectional linear engagement and disengagement device, which does not require any additional operating mechanism and can automatically engage or disengage in both directions according to the speed change or movement direction change of the master and slave components: when the bidirectional ratchet guide is active, v1 ≥ v4 or v4 = 0, the bidirectional ratchet guide and the base are automatically engaged in both directions; when the base is active, v4 ≥ v1, the base and the bidirectional ratchet guide are automatically disengaged in both directions.

[0051] The adaptive ratchet-type bidirectional linear engagement and separation device of the present invention has technical characteristics such as simple structure, reliable operation, and wide application range. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0091] In addition, the present invention also provides a method for using an adaptive ratchet-type bidirectional linear engagement and separation device, the specific steps of which are as follows:

[0092] S1, reset state:

[0093] The left pawl 23 and the right pawl 33 on the left-hand pawl slider 2 and the right-hand pawl slider 3 are respectively inserted into the corresponding tooth grooves of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1. The unlocking pin 422 of the base 4 is at the starting position of the left unlocking inclined surface 232 and the right unlocking inclined surface 332. The end surfaces of the left-hand pawl slider 2 and the right-hand pawl slider 3 are in close contact with the boss of the base 4. The connecting rod pin 63 of the connecting rod assembly 6 is at the lower limit position 414 of the connecting rod slot 412 of the base 4.

[0094] S2, engaged state, bidirectional ratchet guide 1 moves rightward, base 4 is driven, v1 ≥ v4 or v4 = 0:

[0095] The bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1 acts on the right pawl 33 of the right pawl slider 3, so that the right pawl slider 3 tends to move in the same direction; the left pawl slider 2 fits the end surface of the base 4, so the left pawl slider 2 and the base 4 maintain the same movement state.

[0096] Under the coordinated action of the six-bar mechanism composed of the left-hand pawl slider 2, the right-hand pawl slider 3, the left slider connecting rod 61, the right slider connecting rod 62, the base 4 and the connecting rod slot 412, the base 4 is relatively fixed, and the left-hand pawl slider 2 is restricted by the base 4 and is also relatively fixed. Therefore, the right-hand pawl slider 3 transmits the force of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1 to the base 4 through the following force transmission path: bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1 → right pawl 33 → right-hand pawl slider 3 → right slider connecting rod 62 → left slider connecting rod 61 → left-hand pawl slider 2 → base 4, thereby achieving automatic engagement between the base 4 and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1;

[0097] S3, engaged state, bidirectional ratchet guide 1 moves to the left, base 4 is driven, v1 ≥ v4 or v4 = 0:

[0098] The bidirectional ratchet guide 1 acts on the left pawl 23 on the left pawl slider 2, causing the left pawl slider 2 to rotate in the same direction. The right pawl slider 3 fits the end surface of the base 4, so the right pawl slider 3 and the base 4 maintain the same motion state.

[0099] Under the coordinated action of the six-bar mechanism composed of the left-hand pawl slider 2, the right-hand pawl slider 3, the left slider connecting rod 61, the right slider connecting rod 62, the base 4 and the connecting rod slot 412, the base 4 is relatively fixed, and the right-hand pawl slider 3 is restricted by the base 4 and is also relatively fixed. Therefore, the left-hand pawl slider 2 transmits the force of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1 to the base 4 through the following force transmission path: bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1 → left pawl 23 → left-hand pawl slider 2 → left slider connecting rod 61 → right slider connecting rod 62 → right-hand pawl slider 3 → base 4, thereby achieving automatic engagement between the base 4 and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1;

[0100] S4, separation state: the base 4 moves to the right, the bidirectional ratchet guide 1 is driven, v4 ≥ v1:

[0101] The base 4 pushes the right pawl slider 3 to move in the same direction, and the right pawl slider 3 and the two-way ratchet guide rail 1 are naturally unlocked.

[0102] The left pawl 23 of the left pawl slider 2 is still in meshing state with the lower ratchet bar 13 of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1. The base 4 cannot drive the left pawl slider 2 to move in the same direction. The left pawl slider 2 is temporarily fixed.

[0103] The unlocking pin 422 on the base 4 acts on the left unlocking inclined surface 232 of the left pawl 23 on the left pawl slider 2, pushing the left pawl 23 upward to disengage it from the tooth groove of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1, thereby releasing the meshing relationship between the left pawl slider 2 and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1. The left pawl slider 2 is disengaged from the bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1, realizing the bidirectional automatic separation of the base 4 and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1;

[0104] S5, separation state: the base 4 moves to the left, the bidirectional ratchet guide 1 is driven, v4 ≥ v1:

[0105] The base 4 pushes the left pawl slider 2 to move in the same direction, and the left pawl slider 2 and the two-way ratchet guide rail 1 are naturally unlocked.

[0106] The right pawl 33 of the right-hand pawl slider 3 is still in meshing with the upper ratchet bar 12 of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1. The base 4 cannot drive the right-hand pawl slider 3 to move in the same direction. The right-hand pawl slider 3 is temporarily relatively fixed.

[0107] The unlocking pin 422 on the base 4 acts on the right unlocking inclined surface 332 of the right pawl 33 on the right pawl slider 3, pushing the right pawl 33 downward to disengage it from the tooth groove of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1, thereby releasing the meshing relationship between the right pawl slider 3 and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1, and the right pawl slider 3 is disengaged from the bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1, realizing bidirectional automatic separation of the base 4 and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1.

[0108] In summary, the adaptive ratchet-type bidirectional linear engagement and disengagement device described in this embodiment does not require any additional operating mechanism and can automatically engage or disengage in both directions according to the speed change or movement direction change of the master and slave components:

[0109] When the bidirectional ratchet guide 1 is active, v1 ≥ v4 or v4 = 0, the bidirectional ratchet guide 1 and the base 4 are automatically bidirectionally engaged;

[0110] When the base 4 is active, v4 ≥ v1, the base 4 and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail 1 are automatically separated in both directions.

A method for using the adaptive ratchet-type bidirectional linear engagement and disengagement device according to any one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that: The specific steps are as follows: S1, reset state: The left pawl (23) and the right pawl (33) on the left-hand pawl slider (2) and the right-hand pawl slider (3) are respectively inserted into the corresponding tooth grooves of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1), the unlocking pin (422) of the base (4) is at the starting position of the left unlocking inclined surface (232) and the right unlocking inclined surface (332), the end faces of the left-hand pawl slider (2) and the right-hand pawl slider (3) are in close contact with the boss of the base (4), and the connecting rod pin (63) of the connecting rod group (6) is at the lower limit position (414) of the connecting rod slot (412) of the base (4); S2, engagement state, the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1) moves to the right, and the base (4) is driven. or hour: The bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1) acts on the right pawl (33) of the right pawl slider (3), so that the right pawl slider (3) tends to move in the same direction; the left pawl slider (2) fits the end surface of the base (4), and the left pawl slider (2) and the base (4) maintain the same movement state. Under the coordinated action of the six-bar mechanism composed of the left-direction ratchet slider (2), the right-direction ratchet slider (3), the left slider connecting rod (61), the right slider connecting rod (62), the base (4) and the connecting rod slot (412), the base (4) is relatively fixed, the left-direction ratchet slider (2) is restricted by the base (4) and is also relatively fixed, and the right-direction ratchet slider (3) transmits the force of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1) to the base (4) through the following force transmission path: bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1) → right ratchet (33) → right-direction ratchet slider (3) → right slider connecting rod (62) → left slider connecting rod (61) → left-direction ratchet slider (2) → base (4), thereby realizing automatic engagement of the base (4) with the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1); S3, engagement state, the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1) moves to the left, and the base (4) is driven. or hour: The bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1) acts on the left pawl (23) on the left pawl slider (2), so that the left pawl slider (2) has a tendency to move in the same direction, and the right pawl slider (3) fits the end surface of the base (4), and the right pawl slider (3) and the base (4) maintain the same movement state. Under the coordinated action of the six-bar mechanism composed of the left-direction ratchet slider (2), the right-direction ratchet slider (3), the left slider connecting rod (61), the right slider connecting rod (62), the base (4) and the connecting rod slot (412), the base (4) is relatively fixed, the right-direction ratchet slider (3) is restricted by the base (4) and is also relatively fixed, and the left-direction ratchet slider (2) transmits the force of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1) to the base (4) through the following force transmission path: bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1) → left ratchet (23) → left-direction ratchet slider (2) → left slider connecting rod (61) → right slider connecting rod (62) → right-direction ratchet slider (3) → base (4), thereby realizing automatic engagement of the base (4) with the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1); S4, separation state: the base (4) moves to the right, and the bidirectional ratchet guide (1) is driven. hour: The base (4) pushes the right-hand pawl slider (3) to move in the same direction, and the right-hand pawl slider (3) and the two-way ratchet guide rail (1) are naturally unlocked. The left pawl (23) of the left pawl slider (2) and the lower ratchet bar (13) of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1) are still in a meshing state, and the base (4) cannot drive the left pawl slider (2) to move in the same direction. The left pawl slider (2) is relatively fixed. The unlocking pin (422) on the base (4) acts on the left unlocking inclined surface (232) of the left pawl (23) on the left pawl slider (2), pushing the left pawl (23) to move upward, so that it is disengaged from the tooth groove of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1), releasing the meshing relationship between the left pawl slider (2) and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1), and the left pawl slider (2) is disengaged from the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1), thereby realizing bidirectional automatic separation of the base (4) and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1); S5, separation state: the base (4) moves to the left, and the bidirectional ratchet guide (1) is driven. hour: The base (4) pushes the left-hand pawl slider (2) to move in the same direction, and the left-hand pawl slider (2) and the two-way ratchet guide rail (1) are naturally unlocked. The right pawl (33) of the right-hand pawl slider (3) and the upper ratchet bar (12) of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1) are still in meshing state, and the base (4) cannot drive the right-hand pawl slider (3) to move in the same direction. The right-hand pawl slider (3) is relatively fixed. The unlocking pin (422) on the base (4) acts on the right unlocking inclined surface (332) of the right pawl (33) on the right pawl slider (3), pushing the right pawl (33) downward to disengage the right pawl from the tooth groove of the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1), thereby releasing the meshing relationship between the right pawl slider (3) and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1), and the right pawl slider (3) is disengaged from the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1), thereby realizing bidirectional automatic separation of the base (4) and the bidirectional ratchet guide rail (1).
