Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gates, and in particular to an axle-stopping device for a fixed wheel of a gate. Background Art

[0002] Plane fixed wheel gates are plane gates that use fixed wheel supports. Because the fixed wheel supports have low friction resistance, they can effectively reduce the gate opening and closing force. They are widely used in gates with dynamic water operation requirements. The fixed wheel device only allows the wheel to rotate around the bearing, and does not allow the fixed wheel device to drive the wheel shaft to rotate. Therefore, there are clear requirements for the fixed wheel device to stop the shaft.

[0003] There are two commonly used fixed wheel and shaft stopping methods and devices:

[0004] One is to use a stop plate to stop the shaft, which is the most common method. A plane is machined on the axle, and the stop plate is fitted to the plane and then fixed to the axle support plate of the gate structure by bolts or welding, so as to achieve the purpose of stopping the shaft. This method is suitable for fixed-wheel gates with small opening sizes and only need to arrange 4 sets of fixed-wheel devices. The gate can be manufactured as a whole, which can fully guarantee the coplanarity requirements of the 4 sets of fixed wheels; or it is suitable for fixed-wheel gates that are not sensitive to the coplanarity requirements of the fixed wheels, although the gate opening size is large and more than 4 sets of fixed-wheel devices need to be arranged, but the water head is not high, the force surplus of the fixed wheels is large, and the fixed-wheel gates are not sensitive to the coplanarity requirements of the fixed wheels. After this type of gate is manufactured in sections, it is assembled into a whole on the top platform of the gate slot. Due to the errors in on-site assembly, there is a certain deviation in the coplanarity of all the fixed wheels set by the gate, which has a great influence on the force of the fixed wheels, that is, the deviation in the coplanarity of the fixed wheels leads to an increase in the force of the local fixed wheels, but because the water head is not high, the force of the fixed wheels themselves is small, and the increased force is still within the tolerable range of the fixed wheels.

[0005] The other method is to use an end stop plate to stop the shaft. The end stop plate is machined at the end of the wheel shaft, and multiple bolt holes are opened in an evenly divided manner on the end stop plate and the wheel shaft support plate of the gate structure corresponding to the end stop plate. After the fixed wheel is adjusted, it is fixed with bolts to achieve the purpose of stopping the shaft. This method is suitable for fixed wheel gates with large orifice sizes and high design water heads. The fixed wheels of this type of gates are subjected to greater force, and the force surplus of the fixed wheels is small. The coplanarity requirements of all fixed wheels set in the gate are high. The wheel shaft often uses an eccentric shaft. After the gate is manufactured in sections, it is assembled into a whole on the top platform of the gate slot. By rotating the eccentric shaft, the coplanarity of multiple sets of fixed wheels meets the design requirements, and then it is fixed with bolts to achieve the purpose of stopping the shaft.

[0006] The two commonly used gate fixed wheel and shaft stopping methods currently have the following defects:

[0007] For fixed-wheel gates that use a stop plate to stop the shaft, this type of stop has a simple structure, but the stop plate can only withstand limited torque and shear force. The stop plate is installed in a fixed position and is not suitable for fixed wheels that require eccentric shaft adjustment. Therefore, it is difficult to apply to fixed-wheel gates with high water heads and large orifice sizes.

[0008] For the fixed-wheel gate that uses the shaft end stop plate to stop the shaft, this shaft stopping method is relatively complex, can withstand large torque and shear resistance, and is suitable for almost all fixed-wheel gates. It also serves as a limit for the lateral movement of the wheel axle. However, this method has the following defects. First, it is necessary to open multiple bolt holes in an equally divided manner on the shaft end stop plate and the gate leaf structure wheel axle support plate corresponding to the stop plate. The processing workload is large and the processing accuracy requirements for the equally divided bolt holes are high. Secondly, the bolt holes on the gate leaf structure wheel axle support plate are built-in threaded holes, which are not easy to prevent corrosion. The gate is generally designed to have a service life of 50 years. The bolts are disassembled and installed many times during maintenance of the fixed wheel or the bolt holes are prone to rust due to long-term corrosion. The corrosion damage will bring potential safety hazards to the subsequent maintenance and replacement of the fixed wheel; secondly, the adjustment of the wheel axle can only be carried out according to the equally divided bolt hole positions, and linear continuous adjustment cannot be performed, which cannot perfectly guarantee the need for coplanarity adjustment of the fixed wheel; finally, the diameter of the shaft end stop plate is generally much larger than the wheel axle. If it is processed as a whole with the shaft, the diameter of the shaft blank material will be greatly increased, resulting in great waste and increased processing volume. The shaft material is often a relatively expensive high-strength material, and the large variable diameter step surface is difficult to process. If the shaft end stop plate and the wheel axle are processed separately and then welded into a whole, the welding process and the verticality of the shaft end stop plate and the center of the wheel axle will be required to be high. Summary of the invention

[0009] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problems to be solved by the present invention are: how to realize the linear adjustment of the eccentricity of the fixed wheel device so as to better ensure the coplanarity requirements of multiple sets of fixed wheels, how to improve the problems that the torque and shear resistance that the stop shaft plate can withstand in the prior art are limited, and the bolt hole processing amount for setting the bolt to fix the stop shaft plate is large, and how to eliminate the safety hazards of the fixed wheel caused by the difficulty in corrosion protection and maintenance of the stop shaft bolt holes in the prior art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] according to Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the embodiment of the present application proposes a shaft-stopping device for a gate fixed wheel, comprising an eccentric shaft 1, wherein the eccentric shaft 1 is a stepped shaft, wherein the eccentric shaft 1 includes, starting from either end, a first stepped surface 2, a second stepped surface 3, a third stepped surface 4, a fourth stepped surface 5 and a fifth stepped surface 6 in sequence, wherein the first stepped surface 2, the second stepped surface 3, the third stepped surface 4, the fourth stepped surface 5 and the fifth stepped surface 6 are respectively sleeved with a first supporting plate 8, a wheel 9, a second supporting plate 12, a shaft-stopping ring 11 and a tightening nut 13; the first supporting Plate 8 and the above-mentioned second supporting plate 12 are both used to connect the door leaf structure; a bearing 10 is arranged between the above-mentioned wheel 9 and the above-mentioned second step surface 3; the cross-sectional profile of the above-mentioned stop shaft ring 11 is a regular polygon, preferably a square, and the cross-sectional profile of the above-mentioned fourth step surface 5 is a regular polygon matching the inner cross-sectional profile of the above-mentioned stop shaft ring 11; the above-mentioned tightening nut 13 is threadedly engaged with the above-mentioned fifth step surface 6, and the above-mentioned tightening nut 13 is used to axially lock the above-mentioned first supporting plate 8, the above-mentioned wheel 9, the above-mentioned second supporting plate 12 and the above-mentioned stop shaft ring 11 on the above-mentioned eccentric shaft 1.

[0030] First of all, it should be stated that the eccentricity is adjusted by using a polygonal stop ring 11 and a polygonal fourth step surface 5 to cooperate with each other. After the eccentricity is adjusted, the outer edge of the stop ring 11 and the second support plate 12 are welded and fixed on site to achieve radial stop of the axle. At the same time, the tightening nut 13 is tightened to prevent the eccentric shaft 1 from lateral movement, thereby achieving axial stop of the axle. By arranging components such as the eccentric shaft 1, the stop ring 11, and the tightening nut 13, reliability is guaranteed and linear continuous adjustment of the eccentricity is achieved, while greatly reducing processing requirements and waste of axle materials, and eliminating the hidden dangers of later operation and maintenance of conventional stop devices.

[0031] The first step surface 2 and the third step surface 4 are respectively installed with a first support plate 8 and a second support plate 12, and the first support plate 8 and the second support plate 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the gate leaf structure. The first support plate 8 and the second support plate 12 are square or circular steel plates, and the center is processed with a circular hole corresponding to the first support surface and the second support surface, and the outer edge is welded to the gate leaf structure to transfer the torque of the fixed wheel device corresponding to the eccentric shaft 1 to the gate leaf structure; when the fixed wheel is working, the first step surface 2 and the third step surface 4 transfer the shaft torque to the first support plate 8 and the second support plate 12, and transfer it to the gate leaf structure to realize the stable operation of the gate; the second step surface 3 is installed with a wheel 9, and the wheel 9 rotates around the eccentric shaft 1 through the bearing 10 to transfer the torque to the eccentric shaft 1. Moreover, a first retaining ring 16 is clamped between the first support plate 8 and the wheel 9, and a second retaining ring 17 is clamped between the second support plate 12 and the wheel 9. The first retaining ring 16 and the second retaining ring 17 ensure the stability of the cooperation between the first support plate 8 and the second support plate 12 and the wheel 9.

[0032] The above-mentioned eccentric shaft 1 is set with an eccentricity on the second step surface 3, and the remaining first step surface 2, third step surface 4, fourth step surface 5 and fifth step surface 6 are concentric shaft structures. In this embodiment, the eccentricity is 5 mm, and the cross-sectional shape of the above-mentioned stop ring 11 and the fourth step surface 5 is square. The stop ring 11 transmits the radial torque of the eccentric shaft 1 to the second support plate 12, thereby achieving the purpose of radial stopping of the fixed wheel device.

[0033] The fifth step surface 6 is provided with a limit pin hole 7, and the limit pin hole 7 is used to insert a limit pin to limit the tightening nut 13. The tightening nut 13 is limited on the fifth step surface 6 by a positioning pin matched with the limit pin hole 7 to prevent the tightening nut 13 from loosening. Furthermore, in order to further achieve the limiting and fixing effect on the tightening nut 13, the end of the tightening nut 13 away from the stop shaft ring 11 is provided with a plurality of serrations 15 along the outer edge of the tightening nut 13. The serrations 15 are used to insert the limit pin to prevent the tightening nut 13 from loosening. At the same time, an anti-loosening gasket 14 is clamped between the tightening nut 13 and the stop shaft ring 11 to ensure that the tightening nut 13 can axially lock the first supporting plate 8, the wheel 9, the second supporting plate 12 and the stop shaft ring 11 on the eccentric shaft 1 without relative stringing, thereby achieving the purpose of axial shaft stopping of the fixed wheel device.

[0034] The thickness dimension of the second supporting plate 12 is slightly greater than the length dimension of the third step surface 4, and the dimension difference range is preferably 1 mm-3 mm.

[0035] The length dimension of the above-mentioned fourth step surface 5 is the same as the thickness dimension of the above-mentioned stop ring 11. Since the thickness dimension of the above-mentioned second supporting plate 12 is slightly larger than the length dimension of the above-mentioned third step surface 4, it can be ensured that after the stop ring 11 and the fourth step surface 5 are matched, the stop ring 11 can stably abut against the second supporting plate 12, and the anti-loosening gasket 14 that pulls the nut 13 closer can stably abut against the stop ring 11 without causing any influence or interference.

[0036] The fourth step surface 5 and the stop ring 11 are clearance-fitted, that is, the side length of the inner hole of the stop ring 11 is slightly smaller than the side length of the fourth step surface 5. At the same time, the fourth step surface 5 is chamfered to facilitate the stable insertion of the stop ring 11 onto the fourth step surface 5 during installation.

[0037] After adjusting the eccentricity of the fixed wheels so that all the fixed wheels of the entire gate meet the coplanarity requirement, it is necessary to weld and fix the outer edge of the shaft stop ring 11 and the second supporting plate 12 on site.

[0038] In summary, the embodiment of the present application proposes a shaft stopping device for the fixed wheel of the gate, which can realize linear and continuous adjustment of the eccentricity of the wheel axle, overcomes the shortcoming that the currently used shaft stopping method cannot be linearly and continuously adjusted, has a simple structure, does not adopt the traditional equally divided bolt holes for eccentricity adjustment and transverse fixation of the wheel axle, has a small processing amount, avoids the requirement that the traditional shaft stopping method needs to perform processing on the eccentric shaft and the gate leaf structure support plate at the same time, and effectively reduces the processing difficulty. This method has no built-in bolt holes, effectively avoiding the safety hazards caused by rust and damage of the bolt holes in the traditional shaft stopping method to the subsequent operation and maintenance of the fixed wheel device. This method avoids the waste of wheel axle materials, reduces the processing amount of the eccentric shaft and the requirements for processing accuracy, and saves processing costs.
