[0042] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0043] Please see Figure 1-8 ,
[0044] Example 1:
[0045] This invention provides a technical solution: an end-face adaptive positioning structure for centering a gear axis, comprising a plate frame 1, a cover plate 2 fixed to the front side of the plate frame 1, and multiple sets of limiting units 3 provided on the cover plate 2, the limiting units 3 including:
[0046] Metal sleeve 32, metal sleeve 32 is located on the rear side of plate frame 1;
[0047] Fastening rod 34 is inclined and its rear end is limited to the outside of metal sleeve 32;
[0048] Limiting plate 37 is located on the front side of cover plate 2, and fastening rod 34 pushes limiting plate 37 to move;
[0049] Rotating the metal sleeve 32 causes the fastening rod 34 to move and pushes the limiting plate 37 to fix the gear.
[0050] A rear column 31 is fixed to the rear side of the plate frame 1. The outer side of the rear column 31 has threads. A metal sleeve 32 is fitted on the outer side of the rear column 31, and the two are threadedly connected, which allows the metal sleeve 32 to move backward.
[0051] A metal ring 33 is fitted on the outer side of the metal sleeve 32. The metal ring 33 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the metal sleeve 32. The end of the fastening rod 34 is located on the outer side of the metal ring 33. A U-shaped buckle 301 is provided between the fastening rod 34 and the metal ring 33. The fastening rod 34 is hinged to the metal ring 33 through the U-shaped buckle 301. The U-shaped buckle 301 can make the fastening rod 34 engage or disengage, that is, it can control the movement of the limiting plate 37. It is suitable for different gears and gears with some missing teeth.
[0052] The outer side of the cover plate 2 has multiple inclined grooves 22. A T-shaped slider 35 is slidably arranged in the inclined grooves 22. The rear side of the T-shaped slider 35 is hinged to the fastening rod 34. The front side of the T-shaped slider 35 is fixed to the limiting plate 37. The limiting plate 37 is fitted to the front side of the cover plate 2. The T-shaped slider 35 is used for limiting.
[0053] The limiting plate 37 is provided with protective plates 36 on both sides. The two protective plates 36 are fixed to the front side of the cover plate 2 for clamping.
[0054] The inner side of the limiting plate 37 is integrally formed with a straight plate 38, and the inner side of the straight plate 38 is integrally formed with a circular cylindrical end 39, which is a metal cylinder.
[0055] The front side of the limiting plate 37 is provided with an inwardly extending longitudinal groove 302, and the outer side of the limiting plate 37 is provided with a transverse groove 303 that passes through it. The longitudinal groove 302 and the transverse groove 303 are perpendicular to each other and are connected to each other.
[0056] The front side of the limiting plate 37 is provided with an upper straight plate 306, which extends into the longitudinal groove 302. A pressure plate 305 is slidably provided in the transverse groove 303. The outer side of the pressure plate 305 is fixed to the upper straight plate 306. Under the action of the pressure plate 305, the upper straight plate 306 is limited and can only slide. A compression spring 304 is also fixed on one side of the upper straight plate 306 located in the longitudinal groove 302. The end of the compression spring 304 is fixed to the inner wall of the longitudinal groove 302. A circular end 307 is fixed on the inner side of the upper straight plate 306. The compression spring 304 is used for pushing.
[0057] Hold the gear hand on the front side of the cover plate 2, then rotate the metal sleeve 32 to move the metal sleeve 32 outward and pull the fastening rod 34 outward. The inclined fastening rod 34 and one end of it are hinged to the T-shaped slider 35, driving the limiting plate 37 to slide inward. Multiple sets of limiting plates 37 on the outer side slide inward and slide the same distance, thereby clamping the gear and positioning its central axis, which facilitates the processing of the gear.
[0058] Secondly, since the gap between the teeth of different gears is not the same, a cylindrical end 39 is used to push into the tooth gap. The cylindrical end 39 is squeezed against the inclined surfaces of the tooth gap on both sides to achieve the pushing. This makes the contact position between the cylindrical end 39 and the inclined surfaces of the tooth gap on both sides relatively the same. At the same time, different tooth gaps can be squeezed, so that the center axis of the positioning gear is more accurate. Also, the thickness of the straight plate 38 is relatively thin to avoid contact with the gear.
[0059] The upper straight plate 306 is pushed inward under the action of the compression spring 304. When the gear is held by hand, the round end 307 can first clamp the gear, and then gradually tighten the round cylindrical end 39 to clamp the gear, thus achieving the clamping function. The gear can be clamped in advance, which is convenient for operation. At the same time, since the positions of multiple compression springs 304 are the same, the change of gear position is avoided, and the clamping is accurate.
[0060] Example 2:
[0061] Based on Embodiment 1, a second limiting unit 4 is also provided on the front side of the cover plate 2. The second limiting unit 4 includes:
[0062] Cylinder 41, located on the front side of cover plate 2;
[0063] Push plate 45, push plate 45 is located on the outside of cylinder 41;
[0064] Threaded circular layer 46 is located inside cylinder 41 and is threadedly connected to cylinder 41;
[0065] Rotating the threaded circular layer 46 causes the pushing plate 45 to move outward, squeezing the inner side of the gear sleeved on the outside of the cylinder 41.
[0066] A circular hole 21 is provided on the outer side of the cover plate 2. The cylinder 41 extends into the circular hole 21 and is fixed to the plate frame 1 by bolts. An outer groove 42 is provided on the outer side of the cylinder 41 and communicates with its interior. The two sides of the outer groove 42 extend in an arc shape. Two sheet metal blocks 43 are slidably provided in the outer groove 42. The sheet metal blocks 43 are matched with the outer groove 42. A folding rod 44 is hinged to the opposite side of each of the two sheet metal blocks 43. The two folding rods 44 are also located in the outer groove 42. The opposite ends of the two folding rods 44 are hinged to the outer push plate 45. The two folding rods 44 are inclined outward.
[0067] A limiting end 431 is integrally formed on the inner side of the sheet metal block 43 near the end of the cylinder 41, and an annular opening 461 is provided on the outer side of the threaded circular layer 46, with the limiting end 431 extending into the annular opening 461.
[0068] A rotating shaft 47 for torsion is also fixed to the outside of the threaded circular layer 46.
[0069] By rotating the threaded circular layer 46, the threaded circular layer 46 moves, driving the sheet metal block 43 on its outer side to also move, and causing the two bending rods 44 to expand outward, causing the pushing plate 45 to move outward. The pushing plates 45 in multiple directions all move outward, causing the pushing plates 45 to clamp the gear and determine the center of the gear, which facilitates the processing of the outer side of the gear. The cylinder 41 is fixed by bolts, so the limiting unit 4 can be removed for easy operation.
[0070] A return spring 5 is also fitted outside the cylinder 41, and the two sides of the return spring 5 are set as planes;
[0071] The return spring 5 can push the gear outward. When the limiting unit 4 is removed, the gear is pressed against the return spring 5, and the limiting plate 37 moves, so that the cylindrical end 39 is pressed against the gear. At the same time, the front side of the gear is pressed against the rear side of the upper straight plate 306 under the push of the return spring 5, thus limiting the gear. Subsequently, the smaller gear can be clamped between the circular ends 307 to make the axes of the two gears the same, thus limiting the gears and facilitating the welding and fixing of the two gears, making the gears suitable for different environments.
[0072] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
