[0018] The present invention is as follows Figure 1-4 As shown, an arc-shaped damping buffer device includes an output shaft 1, a housing 2, a damping disc 7, and a disc spring 9. The outer casing 2 has an inner hole that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. Pin holes 23 are evenly distributed on the top of the outer casing, and these pin holes connect to the lower part of the inner hole. The damping disk 7 is disposed in the lower part of the inner hole, and the top of the damping disk 7 is provided with a plurality of pins 74, each of which is disposed in a corresponding pin hole. The damping disk 7 has a shaft hole 72 in the middle and raised damping arc surfaces B evenly distributed at the bottom. The output shaft 1 passes through the inner hole and the shaft hole. The output shaft is provided with a disc body. The disc body is located in the lower part of the inner hole and below the damping disc. The top of the disc body is provided with raised damping arc surfaces A. The damping arc surfaces A and B correspond one-to-one. An O-ring A is provided between the disc body and the inner wall of the lower hole. An O-ring B is provided between the damping disc and the inner wall of the lower hole. An O-ring C is provided between the output shaft and the inner wall of the shaft hole. A sealed space is formed between the damping disc, the disc body, and the outer shell for storing lubricating grease; The top of the output shaft 1 is connected to a nut by a thread, and the disc spring is sleeved on the output shaft and located between the nut and the outer shell.

[0019] The O-ring B4 is installed in the O-ring groove B73 of the damping disc 7 to achieve a sealing function.

[0020] The damping disc 7 is installed inside the housing 2, and its pin shaft 74 engages with the pin hole 23 of the housing 2 to restrict the rotation of the damping disc.

[0021] The O-ring A3 is installed in the O-ring groove A112 of the output shaft 1 to achieve a sealing function.

[0022] The O-ring C5 is installed in the O-ring groove C115 of the output shaft 1 to achieve a sealing function.

[0023] The output shaft 1 passes through the housing 2. The deep groove ball bearing 6 is installed in the deep groove ball bearing bore 22 of the housing 2 for fixing the output.

[0024] The disc spring 9, thrust ball bearing 8, washer 10 and nut 11 are installed on the output shaft 1 for pre-tightening between the output shaft 1 and the damping disc 7. The damping effect of the output shaft is finally achieved by utilizing the relative sliding between the damping arc surfaces.

[0025] The outer casing 2 is designed with screw holes 21, deep groove ball bearing holes 22, and pin holes 23 for fixing and installing the device. The screw holes 21 are used to install screws to secure the device; the deep groove ball bearing holes 22 are used to install deep groove ball bearings 6 to fix the output shaft, ensuring concentricity between the output shaft 1 and the outer casing, and allowing free rotation between the output shaft and the outer casing; the pin holes 23 are used to install the pin shaft 74 of the damping disc 7 to restrict the rotational movement of the damping disc.

[0026] The damping disc 7 is designed with a damping arc surface B71, a shaft hole 72, an O-ring groove B73, and a pin 74. These components restrict the rotational movement of the output shaft 1, achieving the damping effect of the device. The damping arc surface B71 is installed face-to-face with the damping arc surface A113 of the output shaft. When the output shaft is subjected to torque, the two damping arc surfaces tend to slide relative to each other, causing the output shaft 1 to move downwards. The disc spring 9 is compressed, and the relative sliding of the two damping arc surfaces generates resistance under the force of the disc spring, achieving the damping effect. The shaft hole 72 is used to fix the output shaft 1, ensuring the sealing effect of the O-ring C on the output shaft. The O-ring groove B73 is used to install the O-ring B4, which mates with the inner hole of the outer casing 2 to ensure a seal. The pin 74 is installed in the pin hole 23 of the outer casing 2 to fix and restrict the rotational movement of the damping disc 7.

[0027] The output shaft 1 is designed with a milled flat section 111, an O-ring groove A112, a damping arc surface A113, an external thread 114, an O-ring groove C115, and a damping plate 116 for connection to external parts and ultimately output damping force. The milled flat section 111 connects to external parts, transmitting the damping force to them; the O-ring groove A112 is used to install the O-ring A3, which mates with the inner hole of the outer shell 2 to ensure a seal; the damping arc surface A113 is installed face-to-face with the damping arc surface B71 of the damping disc, sliding relative to each other and generating damping force under the action of the disc spring; the external thread 114 is used to fix the nut 11, allowing the nut to move up and down by rotating it, thereby adjusting the preload of the disc spring and adjusting the relative sliding resistance between the damping arc surfaces A and B, thus achieving the adjustment of the damping force of the device; the O-ring groove C115 is used for... The O-ring C5 is installed, which mates with the shaft hole 72 of the damping disc 7 to achieve a sealing effect. Combined with the sealing effect of the O-rings A3 and B4, the internal sealing of the device is achieved. That is, a low-temperature grease with viscosity that is not greatly affected by temperature can be installed inside the device to ensure the smooth sliding of the damping arc surface A and the damping arc surface B. At the same time, it interacts with the damping plate 116 of the output shaft, which increases the resistance to the rotation of the output shaft, thereby increasing the damping force of the device. When the output shaft rotates, its damping plate interacts with the low-temperature grease installed inside the device, which tends to resist the rotation of the output shaft 1, thereby further increasing the damping force of the device.

[0028] The cross-section of the disc is U-shaped. Setting the disc in a U-shape facilitates the installation of the damping plate and the formation of a reliable sealed space.

[0029] The function of the disc spring 9 is that when the output shaft 1 rotates, under the action of the damping arc surface A113 and the damping arc surface B71, the output shaft 1 moves downward. The disc spring 9 is compressed and generates a reaction force, which inhibits the downward movement of the output shaft 1 and increases the relative sliding force between the damping arc surfaces A and B, thereby increasing the resistance to the rotation of the output shaft and achieving a damping effect. The damping magnitude can be adjusted by rotating the nut 11 to adjust the preload of the disc spring.

[0030] The function of the thrust ball bearing 8 is to ensure that the output shaft 1 rotates while bearing the downward pressure, thereby achieving the stability and reliability of the rotation and force of the device.

[0031] The function of the washer 10 is to ensure the mounting plane between the nut 11 and the disc spring 9, so that the disc spring is subjected to uniform force, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the device.

[0032] This invention solves the problem of non-adjustable resistance torque of ordinary dampers, optimizes the design structure, simplifies the structure, reduces costs, and also reduces the volume of the damper, thereby reducing the overall volume of the equipment using the damper.

[0033] This invention improves the reliability of the damper, ensures the consistency of products using the damper, and enhances the overall market competitiveness of the products.
