Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a field, in particular to a V-type tensioner for improving the stability of a pulley. Background Art

[0002] The automatic tensioner is a key component in the front-end accessory drive system of the engine. Its basic function is to maintain the constant tension of the transmission belt and prevent the belt from slipping. On this basis, it can also provide appropriate damping to attenuate the vibration in the accessory system and suppress the belt shaking to maintain the stability of the system and reduce vibration and noise. In the prior art, the V-type tensioner includes a pivot, a bushing and two groups of pulley assemblies arranged on the pivot. The friction between the control arms of the two groups of pulley assemblies is adjusted by a disc spring sheet on the pivot to adjust the resistance of the tensioner. However, the existing tensioner has poor stability in the height of the pulley. When the spring disc is compressed and deformed, the height of the pulley will produce a downward displacement under the action of pressure, which will make the stability of the tensioner worse. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing tensioner. Utility Model Content
