[0043] In order to facilitate the gas entering from the first gas port 1111 to push the first sliding frame 15 to move, as shown in FIG.

[0044] When in use, firstly sleeve the roll of the coiled material on the adjustable differential slip ring 1, and then drive multiple support blocks 14 to slide synchronously along the radial outward of the inner ring seat 11, so that the support blocks 14 push against the inner circumferential wall of the roll to support the roll; then drive the inner ring seat 11 to rotate, and the inner ring seat 11 drives the roll to rotate differentially through the friction between the friction ring belt 16 and the outer ring body 13, so that the coiled material is gradually wound on the roll; as the number of winding layers of the coiled material gradually increases, the required tension gradually increases, and at the same time, it is inflated through the first air port 1111, and the gas pushes the first piston column 151 to synchronously drive the first slide frame 15 to slide along the axial direction of the inner ring seat 11 and in the direction close to the outer ring body 13, so that the friction ring belt 16 and the end face of the outer ring body 13 are The positive pressure increases, thereby increasing the friction between the friction ring belt 16 and the end face of the outer ring body 13, thereby increasing the tension on the coiled material; then the friction ring belt 16 is controlled to rotate by the control component 17 to change the contact position between the friction ring belt 16 and the end face of the outer ring body 13, so that on the one hand, the wear between the friction ring belt 16 and the end face of the outer ring body 13 can be reduced, the possibility of slipping can be reduced, and the reliability of the slip shaft system can be improved. On the other hand, the entire belt surface of the friction ring belt 16 can be evenly contacted with the end face of the outer ring body 13, which is beneficial to improve the utilization rate of the friction ring belt 16 and help to extend the service life of the friction ring belt 16, thereby reducing the replacement frequency of the friction ring belt 16 and reducing the cost of use.

[0045] In some embodiments, the control component 17 is configured to include a second air port 171 and a plurality of second slide frames 172. The second air port 171 is disposed on the inner circumferential wall of the inner ring seat 11 and is configured to receive gas from the outside. The second slide frame 172 is inserted between the first slide frame 15 and the friction ring belt 16 and can synchronously follow the movement of the first slide frame 15. The second slide frame 172 is connected to the second air port 171, and when inflated, the second slide frame 172 can synchronously drive the friction ring belt 16 to slide in the radial direction of the inner ring seat 11, so as to drive the friction ring belt 16 to rotate through the friction contact between the end face of the friction ring belt 16 and the outer ring body 13.

[0046] Specifically in this embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a second annular groove 112 is coaxially opened on the inner circumferential wall of the inner ring seat 11, and the second annular groove 112 is located on the right side of the first annular groove 111. The number of second air ports 171 can be set to eight, and they are opened on the second annular groove 112 at equal intervals along the circumferential direction. The second air ports 171 are set to an "I"-shaped structure, extend along the radial direction of the inner ring seat 11, and are connected to the first slide frame 15; the second slide frame 172 is set to a box structure, and the right side wall is open. The number of second slide frames 172 can be set to eight, and they are inserted into the first slide frame 15 one by one, and can slide axially synchronously with the first slide frame 15, and can slide radially relative to the first slide frame 15.

[0047] To facilitate the movement of the second sliding frame 172, Figure 7 As shown, a first slide groove 152 is provided on the left inner wall of the first slide frame 15 and at an upper position, and the first slide groove 152 extends along the radial direction of the inner ring seat 11, and a slide hole 153 is provided on the left inner wall of the first slide frame 15 and at a lower position, the top of the slide hole 153 is connected with the first slide groove 152, and the bottom end is connected with the second air port 171, and a plug-in sliding portion 1721 is provided on the left outer side wall of the second slide frame 172, and the plug-in sliding portion 1721 is set to an L-shaped structure, and has a horizontal section and a vertical section vertically connected, the horizontal section of the plug-in sliding portion 1721 extends along the axial direction of the inner ring seat 11, and is slidably inserted in the first slide groove 152, and the vertical section of the plug-in sliding portion 1721 extends along the radial direction of the inner ring seat 11, and is slidably inserted in the slide hole 153.

When the tension required by the coil is less than the preset tension, the adjustable differential ring 1 is in the first working state, and is inflated through the second air port 171, so that the second slide frame 172 synchronously drives the friction ring belt 16 to slide along the radial direction of the inner ring seat 11 and in the axial direction away from the inner ring seat 11, and the moving distance of the friction ring belt 16 is positively correlated with the tension required by the coil; when the tension required by the coil is greater than the preset tension, the adjustable differential ring 1 is in the second working state, and is inflated through the first air port 1111, so that the first slide frame 15 synchronously drives the friction ring belt 16 to move along the axial direction of the inner ring seat 11 and in the direction close to the outer ring body 13, and the moving distance of the friction ring belt 16 is positively correlated with the tension required by the coil.

[0051] Specifically in this embodiment, when the second sliding frame 172 synchronously drives the friction ring belt 16 to slide along the radial direction of the inner ring seat 11 and in the axial direction away from the inner ring seat 11, the contact position between the friction ring belt 16 and the end face of the outer ring body 13 will move in the axial direction away from the inner ring seat 11. At this time, the force arm of the friction force of the friction ring belt 16 on the end face of the outer ring body 13 will increase, so that the torque generated by the friction force will increase, thereby being able to provide the tension required for the coil.

[0052] During use, when the tension required by the coil is less than the preset tension, the adjustable slip ring 1 is adjusted to the first working state, and air is inflated through the second air port 171, so that the second slide frame 172 synchronously drives the friction ring belt 16 to slide along the radial direction of the inner ring seat 11 and in the axial direction away from the inner ring seat 11, and the moving distance of the friction ring belt 16 is positively correlated with the tension required by the coil, thereby being able to change the friction position between the friction ring belt 16 and the end face of the outer ring body 13, and increasing the friction torque by increasing the friction arm, which can provide the required tension of the coil and avoid Increasing the tension by increasing the positive pressure between the friction ring belt 16 and the end surface of the outer ring body 13 helps to reduce the wear between the friction ring belt 16 and the end surface of the outer ring body 13; when the tension required by the coil is greater than the preset tension, the adjustable slip ring 1 is adjusted to the second working state, and inflated through the first air port 1111, so that the first slide frame 15 synchronously drives the friction ring belt 16 to move along the axial direction of the inner ring seat 11 and in the direction close to the outer ring body 13, and the moving distance of the friction ring belt 16 is positively correlated with the tension required by the coil, thereby ensuring that the friction force can generate sufficient tension required by the coil.

[0053] In some other embodiments, the adjustable differential ring 1 is configured to further include a driving assembly 18 , which is configured to provide a driving force for the multiple support blocks 14 to slide synchronously along the radial direction of the inner ring seat 11 .

[0054] When the reel is fixed, the driving assembly 18 provides a driving force for the multiple support blocks 14 to slide synchronously along the radial direction of the inner ring seat 11, so that the support blocks 14 are pushed against the inner peripheral wall of the reel to support the reel.

[0055] In a further embodiment, the drive assembly 18 is configured to include a third gas port 181, an adjustment ring 182, an elastic member and a plurality of wedge blocks 184. The third gas port 181 is arranged on the inner peripheral wall of the inner ring seat 11 and is configured to receive gas from the outside. The adjustment ring 182 is coaxially inserted in the outer ring body 13 and can slide along the axial direction of the outer ring body 13. The elastic member is connected between the support block 14 and the outer ring body 13. Under the action of the elastic member, the support block 14 has a radial direction along the outer ring body 13. The wedge blocks 184 have a tendency to move inward and inward; multiple wedge blocks 184 are inserted into the outer ring body 13, and are arranged one by one with the support blocks 14, the wedge surfaces of the wedge blocks 184 face the corresponding support blocks 14, and form a guiding fit with the support blocks 14, and the wedge blocks 184 and the adjustment ring 182 form a stop fit; the adjustment ring 182 is connected to the third air port 181, and when inflated, the adjustment ring 182 can synchronously drive the support blocks 14 to slide outward along the radial direction of the inner ring seat 11 through the wedge blocks 184.

[0056] Specifically in this embodiment, Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, a third annular groove 113 is coaxially provided on the inner circumferential wall of the inner ring seat 11, and the third annular groove 113 is located on the right side of the second annular groove 112. The number of third gas ports 181 can be eight, and they are provided on the third annular groove 113 at equal intervals along the circumferential direction. The third gas ports 181 are provided as an L-shaped structure, and have a horizontal section and a vertical section vertically connected. The vertical section of the third gas port 181 extends along the radial direction of the inner ring seat 11, and the horizontal section of the third gas port 181 extends along the axial direction of the inner ring seat 11; as shown Fig. 9 As shown, an annular recessed groove 1822 is coaxially arranged on the inner side of the bottom end surface of the adjusting ring 182, and the second piston column 1821 is vertically arranged on the top end surface of the recessed groove 1822 during installation. There can be eight second piston columns 1821, which are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction. To facilitate the gas entering from the third gas port 181 to push the adjusting ring 182 to move, the second piston columns 1821 are one-to-one correspondingly and slidably inserted into the horizontal section of the third gas port 181 during installation.

[0057] like Figure 8 As shown, the vertical cross-section of the wedge block 184 is set to a right-angled trapezoid, and the short base and the long base of the right-angled trapezoid both extend in the radial direction of the inner ring seat 11, the oblique waist is located below the right-angled waist, and the oblique waist is inclined and extended in the upper right direction, and the bottom surface where the oblique waist is located is the wedge surface; the top surface of the support block 14 is set to an inclined surface, and extends in the upper right direction; in order to facilitate improving the stability of the wedge block 184 and the support block 14 during relative movement, a slide bar 1841 is provided on the wedge surface of the wedge block 184, and the slide bar 1841 extends in a direction parallel to the oblique waist, and a second slide groove is provided on the top surface of the support block 14, and the second slide groove extends in a direction parallel to the oblique waist, and the slide bar 1841 is slidably inserted in the second slide groove when in use.

[0058] When fixing the reel, air is inflated through the third air port 181, and under the push of the gas, the second piston column 1821 synchronously drives the wedge block 184 to move along the axial direction of the outer ring body 13 and in the direction away from the inner ring seat 11; during the movement of the wedge block 184, the wedge block 184 drives the support block 14 to slide outward along the radial direction of the inner ring seat 11 through the wedge surface, so as to push against the inner circumferential wall of the reel.

[0059] In a further embodiment, the elastic member is configured to include an elastic ring strip 183, which is simultaneously sleeved on the outside of the outer ring body 13 and all the support blocks 14 and has a tendency to shrink.

[0060] Specifically in this embodiment, in order to make the elastic ring strip 183 have a certain position, such as Figure 6As shown, a fourth annular groove is coaxially arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the outer ring body 13, and a first arc groove overlapping with the fourth annular groove is opened on the outer end surface of the support block 14. The elastic ring strip 183 is inserted into the fourth annular groove and the first arc groove at the same time during installation.

[0061] In other embodiments, in order to improve the stability of the inner ring seat 11 and the outer ring body 13 during relative rotation, the adjustable differential ring 1 is configured to also include three bearings 19, two of which are inserted between the outer ring body 13 and the inner ring seat 11, and are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the inner ring seat 11; the other bearing 19 is inserted between the adjusting ring 182 and all the wedge blocks 184.

[0062] Specifically in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the transmission of the movement of the adjustment ring 182 to the wedge block 184, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a fifth annular groove 1823 is coaxially arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the adjusting ring 182, and a second arc groove is opened on the end face where the right-angle waist of the wedge block 184 is located. The bearing 19 is inserted into the fifth annular groove 1823 and the second arc groove at the same time during installation, so that the adjusting ring 182 can synchronously drive the wedge block 184 to move axially through the bearing 19.

[0063] In other embodiments, in order to further improve the transmission stability between the friction ring belt 16 and the end surface of the outer ring body 13, the shape of the friction ring belt 16 is set to be a rounded rectangle.

[0064] Specifically in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation of the friction belt 16, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the shape of the mounting shaft 161 is also correspondingly set to be a rounded rectangle.

[0065] When in use, the rounded rectangular shape allows the friction ring belt 16 to be in surface contact with the end surface of the outer ring body 13 , and the contact area is large, thereby improving the transmission stability between the friction ring belt 16 and the end surface of the outer ring body 13 .

[0066] In other embodiments, in order to improve the convenience of sleeve-mounting the reel on the adjustable differential ring 1 and removing the reel from the adjustable differential ring 1, a plurality of balls 12 are inserted into the outer peripheral wall of the inner ring seat 11. The plurality of balls 12 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction and can all roll freely.

[0067] Specifically in this embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the number of the balls 12 can be eight, and the eight balls 12 are inserted on the outer peripheral wall of the inner ring seat 11 at equal intervals along the circumferential direction during installation.

[0068] When in use, there is rolling friction between the reel and the ball 12, so that pushing or removing the reel is relatively labor-saving.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, another embodiment of the present invention provides a differential shaft system, which is configured to include a shaft body 2 and a plurality of adjustable differential rings 1 sleeved on the shaft body 2 .

[0070] Specifically in this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shaft body 2 is configured as a T-shaped rotating body structure, and in order to prevent the differential ring 1 from falling off during rotation, an end cover 21 is detachably provided at the small end of the shaft body 2 .

[0071] More specifically, in order to facilitate the introduction of gas into the first gas port 1111, the second gas port 171 and the third gas port 181, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, three main gas paths 201 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction on the large end face of the shaft body 2. The main gas path 201 is configured as a trough-like structure and is arranged parallel to the axis of the shaft body 2. Each main gas path 201 is provided with branch gas paths 202 whose number is equal to the number of slip rings 1. Multiple branch gas paths 202 are evenly arranged along the axial direction of the shaft body 2. The branch gas paths 202 extend along the radial direction of the shaft body 2, and the branch gas paths 202 of the three main gas paths 201 are connected to the first gas port 1111, the second gas port 171, and the third gas port 181 one by one.

[0072] It is understandable that the gases in the three main gas circuits 201 can be provided separately by three sub-gas pumps, or can be provided simultaneously by one main gas pump, and a solenoid valve is provided at the air inlet of each main gas circuit 201 to achieve individual control.

[0073] In combination with the above embodiments, the use principle and working process of the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0074] When in use, firstly sleeve the reel of the coiled material onto the slip shaft system, then start the air distribution pump corresponding to the third air port 181, the gas first enters into the shaft body 2 through the main air path 201 corresponding to the third air port 181, and then enters into the outer ring body 13 through the branch air path 202 and the third air port 181 in turn, and under the push of the gas, the second piston column 1821 synchronously drives the wedge block 184 to move along the axial direction of the outer ring body 13 and away from the inner ring seat 11, and the elastic ring strip 183 expands and accumulates force; in the process of the movement of the wedge block 184, the wedge block 184 drives the support block 14 to slide outward along the radial direction of the inner ring seat 11 through the wedge surface, so as to push against the inner circumferential wall of the reel.

[0075] Then the shaft body 2 is driven to rotate, and the shaft body 2 drives the inner ring seat 11 to rotate at the same speed. The inner ring seat 11 drives the reel to rotate at a differential speed through the friction between the friction ring belt 16 and the outer ring body 13, so that the coil is gradually wound on the reel.

[0076] As the shaft body 2 rotates, the number of winding layers of the coil gradually increases, and the required tension gradually increases. When the required tension of the coil is less than the preset tension, the adjustable slip ring 1 is adjusted to be in the first working state: first, the air distribution pump corresponding to the second air port 171 is started, and the gas first enters the shaft body 2 through the main air path 201 corresponding to the second air port 171, and then enters the inner ring seat 11 through the branch air path 202 and the second air port 171 in turn. The gas pushes the plug-in sliding part 1721 to drive the second slide frame 172 to slide outward along the radial direction of the inner ring seat 11; during the movement of the second slide frame 172, the friction contact between the friction ring belt 16 and the end face of the outer ring body 13 enables the friction ring belt 16 to rotate around the mounting shaft 161, so as to change the belt surface contacting the end face of the friction ring belt 16 and the outer ring body 13, and also change the contact position between the end face of the outer ring body 13 and the friction ring belt 16.

[0077] When the tension required by the coil is greater than the preset tension, the adjustable slip ring 1 is adjusted to be in the second working state: first, the air distribution pump corresponding to the first air port 1111 is started, and the gas first enters the shaft body 2 through the main air path 201 corresponding to the first air port 1111, and then enters the inner ring seat 11 through the branch air path 202 and the first air port 1111 in turn. The gas pushes the first piston column 151 and synchronously drives the first slide frame 15 to slide along the axial direction of the inner ring seat 11 and in the direction close to the outer ring body 13. The first slide frame 15 synchronously drives the second slide frame 172 and the friction ring belt 16 to move axially synchronously, so that the positive pressure between the friction ring belt 16 and the end face of the outer ring body 13 increases, thereby increasing the friction force between the friction ring belt 16 and the end face of the outer ring body 13, thereby increasing the tension on the coil.

[0078] After winding is completed, the air pump corresponding to the third air port 181 is closed, and the support block 14 moves inward along the radial direction of the outer ring body 13 under the contraction action of the elastic ring strip 183, and then the reel is removed from the slip shaft system to start winding the next coil.

[0079] The technical features of the above embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0080] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
