DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0027] See also Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a dual-cam variable pitch module, comprising a base 1, wherein the base 1 is provided with a channel 10 communicating with an internal cavity thereof;

[0028] A first rotating roller 2, wherein the first rotating roller 2 is arranged in the inner cavity of the machine base 1, and both sides are rotatably supported at two ends of the machine base 1, a plurality of guide grooves 100 are arranged on the first rotating roller 2, and a first transmission device 21 is arranged on one end of the first rotating roller 2;

[0029] A second rotating roller 3, the second rotating roller 3 is horizontally arranged at the side of the first rotating roller 2, and the two sides of the second rotating roller 3 are rotatably supported at the two ends of the machine base 1, the guide groove 100 on the second rotating roller 2 is staggered with the guide groove 100 on the first rotating roller 2, and a second transmission device 31 used in conjunction with the first transmission device 21 is arranged on one end of the second rotating roller 2;

[0030] A slide 4, wherein the slide 4 is movably arranged above the machine base 1, the number of the slides 4 corresponds to the number of the guide grooves 100, and a guide block 40 is arranged at the bottom thereof, and the guide block 40 passes through the channel 10 and cooperates with the guide groove 100;

[0031] The driving device 5 is arranged at one side of the machine base 1 and is connected to the first rotating roller 2 through a transmission member 50 .

[0032] In the above structure, a first rotating roller and a horizontally arranged second rotating roller are arranged on the pitch variable module, and the guide grooves between the two rotating rollers are arranged in a staggered manner, so that the slide seat can be provided with staggered guide blocks to respectively cooperate with the guide grooves on the rotating rollers on both sides. The number of slide seats of the pitch variable module is doubled without increasing the number of guide grooves on the rotating rollers, thereby increasing the working efficiency of the overall pitch variable module. At the same time, it can prevent the occurrence of a situation in which the walls between the guide grooves are too thin or the guide grooves intersect due to adding guide grooves on a single rotating roller.

[0033] Specifically, a plurality of guide rails 11 are arranged on the top of the machine base 1, and a slider 41 is fixedly arranged on the bottom of the slide seat 4 for use with the guide rails 11. The cooperation between the guide rails and the slider can play a guiding role, and the cooperation between the two has the advantages of high precision and high stability.

[0034] Specifically, a plurality of position sensors 12 are arranged at intervals on the side of the base 1, and a sensing strip 42 for use with the position sensor 12 is fixedly arranged on one side of the slide 4 at the sidemost side. The cooperation between the position sensor and the sensing strip enables the position of the slide at the sidemost side to be recorded by the position sensor. When the variable pitch module is shut down and restarted due to sudden problems such as power failure, the slide can be returned to its initial position through the cooperation between the position sensor and the sensing strip.

[0035] Specifically, the first transmission device 21 includes a first gear 210 and a second gear 211 sleeved on the first roller 2, and the second transmission device 31 includes a third gear 310 and a fourth gear 311 sleeved on the second roller 3. The first gear 210 and the third gear 310 can change their positions left and right until the two gears are meshed, and the second gear 211 and the fourth gear 311 can change their positions left and right until the two gears are meshed. The first gear 210 and the second gear 211 are fixed by screws, and the third gear 310 and the fourth gear 311 are fixed by screws. The first transmission device is divided into a first gear and a second gear sleeved on the first roller, and the second transmission device is divided into a third gear and a fourth gear sleeved on the second roller. At the same time, the four gears can be adjusted left and right. When installing the transmission device, the user can move the first gear and the third gear to make the two gears mesh with each other, adjust the positions of the second gear and the fourth gear to make the two mesh, and then fix the first gear with the second gear, and the third gear with the fourth gear respectively by screws, so that the first transmission device and the second transmission device are fully meshed to prevent the transmission efficiency from being reduced due to the gap.

[0036] Specifically, the transmission member 50 is a first synchronous pulley 500 mounted on one end of the first roller 2, a second synchronous pulley 501 mounted on one end of the driving device 5, and a synchronous belt 502 for connecting the transmission. Using synchronous pulleys and synchronous belts as transmission members has the advantages of accurate and stable transmission, high efficiency and energy saving.

[0037] Specifically, a plurality of fixing blocks 13 are fixedly provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the machine base 1, and the fixing block 13 is clamped between the first roller 2 and the second roller 3, and recessed receiving grooves 14 for fitting the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 are respectively provided on both sides thereof. Guide grooves are provided on the rollers, so that the rollers themselves are relatively fragile and cannot bear their own weight. The recessed receiving grooves on both sides of the fixing block are used to support the first roller and the second roller to help the two rollers share their own downward gravity, and at the same time, the positions of the first roller and the second roller can be effectively fixed, thereby achieving the effect of limiting and fixing.

[0038] Specifically, the driving device 5 is a driving motor. Using a driving motor as a driving device has the advantages of high efficiency and energy saving, high reliability, and small space occupation.

[0039] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
