Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of winches, in particular to a winch with a buffer clutch. Background Art

[0002] Winch is widely used in leisure off-road, engineering rescue, metallurgy, exploration, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, petroleum, mineral mining and other scenarios. At present, winches at home and abroad are usually composed of several major parts such as motor, drum, brake, reducer, clutch, controller, wire rope and some corresponding accessories. The reducer connects the power between the motor and the drum, so that the wire rope wrapped around the drum can generate a large traction force to achieve the traction function. The principle of power connection or clutch achieved by the reduction assembly and the drive shaft in the existing winch is: the clutch is achieved by changing the meshing relationship between the sun gear and the planetary carrier or using a locating pin to fix the planetary gear ring, such as the content shown in the patents with application publication number CN118083832A and application publication number CN116902844A.

[0003] When switching from the disengaged state to the engaged state, the sun gear may contact the side surface of the planetary carrier tooth and fail to engage, or the locating pin may not enter the pin hole; usually, when the above situation occurs, the drum needs to be manually rotated and rotated to a certain angle to enter the engaged or positioned state. During use, the sun gear and the planetary carrier may not be properly engaged, and the locating pin may not fully enter the pin hole, resulting in an incomplete clutch state or even clutch disengagement. If this state is used for a long time, the meshing teeth or locating pins will inevitably be damaged, resulting in the winch being unable to be used normally. Most existing electric winch clutches are hard connections for gear meshing. The friction and collision caused by power transmission during the clutch process and the moment the winch starts and stops may cause damage to the clutch components. Therefore, a winch structure is needed that can buffer the torque when the clutch components are separated and combined. Summary of the invention

The axis of the buffer spring 8121 is perpendicular to the axis of the clutch shaft 83, and the buffer spring 8121 is arranged along the tangent direction of the circular buffer disk 812. In this example, the axis of the buffer spring 8121 is at a 90° angle with the radius of the buffer disk 812, that is, the buffer spring 8121 is arranged along the tangent direction of the circular buffer disk 812.

[0031] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the left side of the clutch buffer device 81 is the primary planet carrier 64, and the right side is the clutch compression elastic member 82 and the secondary sun gear 71; the clutch compression elastic member 82 includes a plurality of springs, one end of which is connected to the pressure plate 814, and the other end is fixed to the protruding structure on the outer periphery of the clutch shaft 83, which is the secondary sun gear 71 in the secondary planetary reduction assembly 7 in this example; the friction plate 811 is pressed by the pressure plate 814 under the action of the clutch compression elastic member 82. 14 is squeezed and pressed against the side of the primary planet carrier 64; the clutch shaft 83 passes through the secondary sun gear 71 and the secondary planet carrier 74, the left end of the clutch shaft 83 is provided with a driving tooth 831, a small baffle 832 and an external spline 833, and the right end of the clutch shaft 83 is provided with a large baffle 834; the driving tooth 831 is meshed with the internal tooth 8131 of the driving disk 813; the small baffle 832 is located on the left side of the pressure plate 814; the clutch shaft 83 is meshed and connected with the secondary sun gear 71 through the external spline 833. In this example, the number of spring pieces in the clutch pressing elastic member 82 is 5.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the clutch mechanism 8 is installed in the drum 3; the clutch mechanism 8 includes a clutch shaft 83, a clutch knob assembly 84, and an end cover 85, and the clutch knob assembly 84 can drive the clutch shaft 83 to move axially. The clutch knob assembly 84 includes a clutch knob 841, a clutch drive rod 842, a positioning bead 843, a positioning spring 844, and a clutch drive rod retaining spring 845; the clutch drive rod 842 passes through a through hole provided on the end cover 85, wherein the end of the clutch drive rod 842 located inside the end cover is provided with a cam 8421, and the end of the clutch drive rod 842 located outside the end cover 85 is provided with a knob lug 8422; the clutch drive rod 842 is fixed to the clutch knob 841 by the knob lug 8422; a positioning spring 844 is also provided inside the end cover 85, and one end of the positioning spring 844 faces the clutch drive rod 842; the end of the positioning spring 844 facing the clutch drive rod 842 A positioning bead 843 is also provided, and a positioning groove 8424 corresponding to the positioning bead 843 is circumferentially provided on the outer side of the clutch drive rod 842, and a deeper positioning groove 843 is provided at the set position in the positioning groove 8424; a dent cooperating with the clutch drive rod retaining spring 845 is also provided on the outer periphery of the clutch drive rod 842, and the clutch drive rod retaining spring 845 is embedded in the dent, and the clutch drive rod retaining spring 845 is located on the inner side of the end cover; a large baffle 834 cooperating with the cam 8421 on the clutch drive rod 842 is provided on the end of the clutch shaft 83 away from the driving tooth, and the cam 8421 is abutted against the large baffle 834, and the cam 8421 is located on the side of the large baffle 834 close to the driving tooth 831.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the brake mechanism 5 includes a brake block 51, a brake shaft 52, a brake spring 53, a brake block pin 54, and a brake ring 55. The brake ring 55 is fixedly installed in the winch housing 2. One end of the transmission coupling 4 is connected to the output end of the rotating power part 1 through a spline engagement; the transmission coupling 4 is provided with a transmission slide groove 41, and the two ends of the transmission slide groove 41 are at different distances from the axis of the transmission coupling 4; one end of the primary sun gear 61 is located in the transmission coupling 4; the brake shaft 52 is fixed to the primary sun gear 61 through a spline connection, and is located on the inner side of the brake ring 55.

[0034] The brake block 51 is mounted on the brake shaft 52 via a brake block pin 54. The brake block 51 can rotate around the brake block pin 54 to achieve an outward opening or inward closing action. A brake spring 53 is installed between the brake block 51 and the brake shaft 52. A brake block wear-resistant layer 512 is provided on the outer side of the brake block 51, and a brake ring wear-resistant layer 551 is provided on the inner side of the brake ring 55. When the brake block 51 is opened outward, the brake block wear-resistant layer 512 and the brake ring wear-resistant layer 551 fit together. In this example, the number of brake blocks is 5, and the number of brake springs is 5.

[0035] The brake block 51 is provided with a brake driving rod 511 , and the brake driving rod 511 passes through the transmission sliding groove 41 to form a sliding fit.

[0036] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the transmission coupling 4 is provided with an inner lug 42 at one end away from the rotating power member 1, and the first-stage sun gear 61 is provided with an outer lug 611 at one end located in the transmission coupling 4. There is an angle between the inner lug 42 and the outer lug 611, so that the transmission coupling 4 and the first-stage sun gear 61 form a delayed transmission. In this example, the number of the inner lug 42 and the number of the outer lug 611 are both 4. Through the above technical solution, the setting of the angle enables the transmission coupling and the first-stage sun gear to form a delayed transmission. When the rotating power member 1 rotates, the transmission coupling first drives the brake block to close inward to release the brake, and then drives the first-stage sun gear to rotate through the lug, so that the winch can work normally.

[0037] The specific working process of the present invention is as follows: when the winch clutch mechanism 8 is in the engaged state, Figure 5 a. Figure 6 As shown in a, the positioning bead 843 in the clutch knob assembly 84 is located in a positioning groove 8424, the non-raised portion of the cam 8421 is in contact with the large baffle 834, and the pressure plate 814 presses the friction plate 811 and the first-stage planetary carrier 64 under the action of the clutch clamping elastic member 82. At this time, the friction layer on both sides of the friction plate 811 makes it impossible for the first-stage planetary carrier 64 and the clutch shaft 83 to rotate relative to each other.

[0038] like Fig.10 As shown, when the winch is not working, the brake block 51 opens outward under the pressure of the brake spring 53, the brake block wear layer 512 and the brake ring wear layer 551 are pressed tightly together, and the winch is in a brake locked state; Fig. 9 As shown, when the winch is started, the rotating power member 1 drives the transmission coupling 4 to rotate. Since there is a delayed transmission between the transmission coupling 4 and the primary sun gear 61, in the front stage of the delayed transmission, when the transmission coupling 4 rotates, the brake block driving rod 511 slides in the transmission slide groove 41, driving the brake block 51 to close inward, and the brake block wear-resistant layer 512 is out of contact with the brake ring wear-resistant layer 551, and the winch brake is in a released state; in the rear stage of the delayed transmission, the inner lug 42 of the transmission coupling 4 contacts the outer lug 611 of the primary sun gear 61, driving the primary sun gear 61 and the brake shaft 55 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the primary planetary reduction assembly 6 to rotate, the primary planetary carrier 64 drives the friction disk 811 and the buffer disk 812 to rotate, the buffer disk 812 squeezes the buffer spring 8121, and drives the drive disk 813 to rotate through the buffer spring 8121, and then drives the clutch shaft 83 to rotate, thereby driving the secondary sun gear 71 to rotate, and the secondary planetary reduction assembly 7 drives the drum 3 to operate, so that the winch works normally.

[0039] like Fig.10 As shown, when the winch needs to stop working and stop rotating the power part 1 or the winch stops rotating due to an abnormal situation, the wire rope drives the drum 3 to rotate in the opposite direction under the force state, and the power is transmitted in the reverse direction, so that the first-stage sun gear 61 is reversed, driving the brake shaft 52 to reverse, and the brake block driving rod 511 slides in the transmission slide groove 41, and is subjected to a radial outward force, driving the brake block 51 to open outward. Under the combined action of the radial force and the pressure of the brake spring 53, the brake block wear-resistant layer 512 and the brake ring wear-resistant layer 551 are pressed tightly together, and the winch realizes automatic brake locking, and the greater the load on the winch, the tighter the brake block 51 and the brake ring 55 fit.

[0040] When you need to release the hinge rope manually, Figure 5 b. Figure 6 As shown in b, the clutch knob 841 is turned to drive the clutch drive rod 842 to rotate, so that the positioning bead 843 passes through the positioning slide groove 8423 to reach another positioning groove 8424. At this time, the raised part of the cam 8421 contacts the large baffle 834, driving the clutch shaft 83 to move to the right. The small baffle 832 at the left end of the clutch shaft 83 drives the pressure plate 814 to move to the right, so that the friction plate 811 is disengaged from the primary planetary carrier 64, thereby disconnecting the power connection between the primary planetary reduction assembly 6 and the secondary planetary reduction assembly 7. The capstan is in a neutral state, and the drum 3 can be manually rotated to release the hook rope.

[0041] When it is necessary to rewind the hinge rope or tow the load, the clutch knob 841 is rotated in the opposite direction to drive the clutch drive rod 842 to rotate, so that the positioning bead 843 passes through the positioning slide groove 8423 and returns to the original positioning groove 8424. The large baffle 834 contacts the non-raised part of the cam 8421, and the pressure plate 814 re-presses the friction plate 811 and the first-stage planetary carrier 64 under the action of the clutch clamping elastic member 82, so that the clutch mechanism 5 is in an engaged state.

[0042] To sum up, compared with traditional winches, the present invention does not require manual adjustment of the engagement position and can more conveniently and easily achieve clutch state switching; the addition of a spring as a buffer component for power transmission helps to reduce the impact of the clutch during operation. When the winch starts or stops working, the spring can absorb and disperse the impact force, thereby protecting other transmission components from damage.

[0043] The above description is only a specific example of the present invention and does not constitute any limitation to the present invention. It is obvious that for professionals in this field, after understanding the content and principle of the present invention, various modifications and changes in form and details may be made without departing from the principle and structure of the present invention, but these modifications and changes based on the idea of ​​the present invention are still within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
