[0063] Referring to Figure 7 , Figure 9 , in the embodiment, the end of the positioning cylinder 31 away from the bearing seat 3 has a guide surface 312, when the positioning cylinder 31 is inserted into the central hole 51, the positioning cylinder 31 forces the abutting block 63 to move out of the central hole 51 through the guide surface 312; the inner circumferential wall of the end of the central hole 51 away from the bearing seat 3 is provided with a sunken groove 511, the sunken groove 511 is embedded with a connecting sleeve 55, and the central axis of the connecting sleeve 55 is arranged to coincide with the central axis of the central hole 51; the connecting sleeve 55 and the sunken groove 511 can be connected by press-in interference fit or in the form of threads.

[0064] Referring to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9In the embodiment, the facing block 56 is installed in the connecting sleeve 55, and the facing block 56 is provided with a blocking assembly 7 for blocking the butt joint groove 311; the outer peripheral wall of the positioning cylinder 31 is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves 313, and the plurality of sliding grooves 313 are correspondingly arranged with the plurality of butt joint grooves 311; one end of each sliding groove 313 is communicated with the corresponding butt joint groove 311, and the other end penetrates the end face of the positioning cylinder 31 close to the facing block 56, and the sliding groove 313 and the corresponding butt joint groove 311 are combined to form a “T shape”.

[0065] The blocking assembly 7 includes a connecting ring 71, a blocking strip 72, a third spring 73, and a limiting piece. The connecting ring 71 is rotationally installed on the surface of the facing block 56 close to the center hole 51 and coaxially arranged between the connecting ring 71 and the center hole 51.

[0066] Referring to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 The limiting piece is arranged between the facing block 56 and the connecting sleeve 55 to force the blocking strip 72 to cover the butt joint groove 311. The inner peripheral wall of the connecting sleeve 55 is provided with a movable groove. In the embodiment, the limiting piece is a limiting column 74, one end of which is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the facing block 56, and the other end is slidably inserted into the movable groove. The movable groove includes a moving part 551 and a rotating part 552. For the convenience of description, the end of the moving part 551 close to the positioning cylinder 31 is defined as a third point 553, and the end of the moving part 551 away from the positioning cylinder 31 is defined as a fourth point 554. Under normal circumstances, the third spring 73 forces the limiting column 74 of the facing block 56 to slide to the fourth point 554, so that the blocking strip 72 is separated from the butt joint groove 311.

[0067] The rotating part 552 is annular around the central axis of the connecting sleeve 55 and is communicated with the third point 553. When the limiting column 74 is driven to slide to the third point 553 and turn into the rotating part 552, the end of the blocking strip 72 away from the connecting ring 71 covers the butt joint groove 311.

[0068] The implementation principle of the embodiment 4 of the application is that when the bearing seat 3 is connected with the mounting seat 5, the positioning cylinder 31 is inserted into the center hole 51 of the mounting seat 5, the positioning cylinder 31 is pushed away from the butt joint block 63 through the guide surface 312, when the positioning cylinder 31 is completely inserted into the center hole 51, the butt joint block 63 is embedded in the butt joint groove 311 of the positioning cylinder 31 under the action of the second spring 631, and the preliminary fixing between the bearing seat 3 and the mounting seat 5 is realized. Then the locking nuts 53 are sequentially arranged in the second connecting holes 52, the locking nuts 53 are rotated, and the plurality of locking nuts 53 are forced to abut against the mounting ring 6; in the process that the locking nuts 53 abut against the mounting ring 6, the locking nuts 53 push the corresponding butt joint blocks 63 through the unlocking rods 64, and the butt joint blocks 63 are forced to be separated from the corresponding butt joint grooves 311, after all the locking nuts 53 abut against the mounting ring 6, the mounting ring 6 and the positioning cylinder 31 are separated from each other. At this time, the plurality of locking nuts 53 are sequentially rotated, so that the locking nuts 53 are tightened on the corresponding locking bolts 33, that is, in this state, the mounting ring 6 is forced to slide from the second point position 542 to the first point position 541.

[0069] The design can achieve the following effects: the mounting ring 6 is located at the second point position 542 in the initial state and is relatively fixed under the clamping limiting of the butt joint block 63 and the butt joint groove 311, the possibility that the locking nuts 53 are once rotated too tightly is avoided, the operation personnel are forced to sequentially rotate all the locking nuts 53, and after all the locking nuts 53 abut against the mounting ring 6, the mounting ring 6 can be unlocked and can continue to be rotated, so that the mounting ring 6 slides to the first point position 541. The possibility that the operation personnel directly rotate one of the locking nuts 53 too tightly at one time when locking the locking nuts 53 is avoided, and the connection effect between the mounting seat 5 and the first flange plate 32 is improved.

[0070] In addition, the butt joint block 63 and the butt joint groove 311 are arranged, and an “insurance” is added to the mounting seat 5 and the bearing seat 3, that is, when the locking nuts 53 are accidentally separated from the locking bolts 33, the mounting ring 6 can be reset to the second point position 542 under the action of the first spring 62, at this time, the butt joint block 63 can be embedded in the butt joint groove 311 under the action of the second spring 631, the possibility that the mounting seat 5 and the bearing seat 3 are directly separated due to the separation of the locking nuts 53 is reduced, and the safety of the overall structure is improved.

[0071] The above is the preferred embodiment of the application, which does not limit the protection scope of the application, therefore: all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the application should be covered in the protection scope of the application.
