Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of tensioning, and particularly to a high - adaptability universal - structure tensioning pulley. Background Art
[0002] In the front - end gear train of an engine, multi - wedge belts are increasingly widely used. However, belt drive belongs to friction drive. As time goes by, the belt will gradually stretch and wear. In order to ensure that the engine can stably, efficiently, and reliably transfer energy to each front - end accessory, and ensure that the belt tension changes within a relatively stable range, a tensioning device is added to the front - end gear - train accessories.
[0003] Traditional fixed - type tensioning devices cannot automatically compensate for the stretching of the belt. When the belt tension is insufficient, problems such as low transmission efficiency and high noise will occur in the accessory belt drive system. Automatic tensioning pulleys have been developed. As the belt gradually stretches and wears, they can ensure that the belt tension changes within a relatively stable range, and ensure that the engine can stably, efficiently, and reliably transfer energy to each front - end accessory. However, there are the following problems: 1. Fixed installation angle: Using a pin - structure to fix the support sleeve results in the inability to adjust the installation angle of the tensioning pulley, making it difficult to adapt to the space requirements of different gear - train layouts and the belt running direction; 2. Single tension: Usually equipped with springs of fixed specifications, the provided tensioning force is non - adjustable and cannot meet the different requirements for belt tension in different gear trains; 3. Poor adaptability of the belt pulley: The size of the belt pulley is fixed and cannot be replaced according to the actual belt specifications or transmission requirements during use, resulting in low versatility; 4. Non - adjustable installation height: The height of the central shaft sleeve is fixed, lacking the ability to adjust, and it is difficult to adapt to the differences in the positions of the installation bases in different gear trains; 5. Insufficient dust - proof and sealing: The dust - proof design of the bearing is limited, and it is easily invaded by pollutants in the working environment, resulting in early wear and failure of the bearing, affecting the service life and reliability.
