Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tension wheels, in particular to a tension wheel. Background Art

[0002] The tensioner is a follower wheel that is pressed on the belt in order to change the wrap angle of the pulley or control the tension of the belt. It is a tensioning device for belt transmission. When the center distance of the belt cannot be adjusted, the tensioner can be used to tighten the belt.

[0003] In order to ensure that the tensioning wheel has a better shock-absorbing and buffering effect during use, a damping device is required on its inner side to limit the telescopic spring inside the tensioning wheel. However, when the telescopic spring is elastically deformed under the force, the outer ring of the telescopic spring slides closely against the damping device so that the damping device can damp and eliminate the elastic deformation force generated by the telescopic spring. However, the telescopic spring generates friction with the inner wall of the damping device for a long time, which can easily cause a certain degree of wear on the inner wall of the damping device, thereby affecting the diameter of the inner wall of the damping device and causing a gap between the telescopic spring and the damping device, thereby reducing the buffering and shock-absorbing effect of the damping device on the tensioning wheel. At the same time, the telescopic spring causes abnormal noise in the tensioning wheel. Therefore, a tensioning wheel is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] In the utility model, by providing the clamping strip, the plastic-coated sleeve, the damping ring, the clamping groove, the elastic sheet, the fixing plate and the sliding groove, when the tension wheel is used, the plastic-coated sleeve can be clamped on the clamping strip on the inner side of the support arm through the sliding groove provided on the inner side thereof, so as to fix and limit the axial movement of the plastic-coated sleeve and the damping ring on the inner side thereof, and when the telescopic spring is subjected to the vibration force transmitted by the support arm and produces telescopic deformation on the inner side of the damping ring, the telescopic spring slides on the inner side of the damping ring at the same time, and then the telescopic spring exerts a compressive force on the elastic sheet on the inner side of the damping ring. , so that the elastic sheet has a tendency to engage in the slot opened on the inner side of the damping ring, and after the telescopic spring is reset, the elastic sheet can still move elastically close to the telescopic spring, thereby ensuring the limiting effect of the damping on the telescopic spring while effectively reducing the fixed friction between the telescopic spring and the damping ring, avoiding a certain degree of wear on the inner wall of the damping ring, causing a gap between the telescopic spring and the damping device, thereby ensuring the buffering and shock-absorbing effect of the damping device on the tensioning wheel, and avoiding the telescopic spring causing abnormal noise in the tensioning wheel.

As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form.

[0021] See also Figure 1-5 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0022] A tensioning wheel comprises a support arm 1, a pulley 2, a self-lubricating bearing 3, a sleeve 4 and a base 5, wherein the support arm 1 is rotatably connected to the pulley 2 on the outside, the support arm 1 is fixedly connected to the self-lubricating bearing 3 on the inside, the self-lubricating bearing 3 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 4 on the inside, the sleeve 4 is fixedly connected to the base 5 on the outside, a telescopic spring 6 is provided on the inside of the support arm 1, a clamping strip 7 is fixedly connected to the inside of the support arm 1, a plastic-coated sleeve 8 is slidably connected to the outside of the clamping strip 7, a damping ring 9 is fixedly connected to the inside of the plastic-coated sleeve 8, a clamping groove 10 is provided on the inside of the damping ring 9, an elastic sheet 11 is fixedly connected to the inside of the clamping groove 10, a fixed plate 12 is fixedly connected to the other end of the elastic sheet 11, and a sliding groove 13 is provided on the inside of the plastic-coated sleeve 8.

[0023] There are several clamping strips 7, which are evenly distributed on the inner side of the support arm 1. The clamping strips 7 slide in the slide grooves 13. The length of the clamping strips 7 is much smaller than the length of the slide grooves 13, which is convenient for limiting the axial movement of the plastic sleeve 8 and the damping ring 9; the number of the slide grooves 13 is the same as the number of the clamping strips 7, and the slide grooves 13 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the plastic sleeve 8. The plastic sleeve 8 is clamped on the inner side of the support arm 1, and one side of the plastic sleeve 8 is tightly attached to the base 5, so that the position of the damping ring 9 can be fixed and restricted; there are several elastic sheets 11, which are evenly distributed on the damping ring 9, the elastic sheet 11 is in close contact with the outer ring of the telescopic spring 6, and the elastic sheet 11 is engaged in the slot 10. The elastic sheet 11 is completely the same in shape and size as the slot 10 opened in the damping ring 9, which is convenient for buffering the telescopic force of the telescopic spring 6 and reducing the friction loss of the telescopic spring 6 to the damping ring 9; the number of the fixing plates 12 is the same as the number of the elastic sheets 11, and the angle between the fixing plates 12 and the elastic sheets 11 is greater than or equal to 90°. The fixing plate 12 is in close contact with the telescopic spring 6 away from the side of the base 5, which can prevent the telescopic spring 6 from escaping from the inner side of the damping ring 9.

[0024] Working process: When the tensioning wheel is used, after the telescopic spring 6 on the inner side of the tensioning wheel support arm 1 is subjected to the vibration force of the external belt, the telescopic spring 6 generates a certain degree of elastic deformation on the inner side of the support arm 1, and then the telescopic spring 6 moves telescopically inside the damping ring 9 between the support arm 1 and the base 5. At this time, the lateral movement tendency of the damping ring 9 is stably restricted under the action of the support arm 1 and the base 5 tightly attached at both ends of the damping ring 9. At the same time, the slide groove 13 opened on the inner side of the plastic-wrapped sleeve 8 fixedly connected to the outer side of the damping ring 9 is engaged with the clamping strip 7, so the axial movement tendency of the damping ring 9 is also restricted. Then, when the telescopic spring 6 exerts a telescopic force on the elastic sheet 11 fixedly connected to the inner side of the damping ring 9, the damping ring 9 can be stably restricted on the inner side of the support arm 1, and withstand the telescopic force of the telescopic spring 6 transmitted by the elastic sheet 11. When subjected to the force of the telescopic spring 6, the elastic sheet 11 can gradually engage into the slot 10 provided on the inner side of the damping ring 9. At this time, although the fixing plate 12 to which the elastic sheet 11 is fixedly connected gradually moves toward the outer ring direction of the damping ring 9 along with the elastic sheet 11, the fixing plate 12 close to the telescopic spring 6 is always in close contact with the telescopic spring 6, thereby effectively preventing the telescopic spring 6 from escaping from the damping ring 9. The elastic sheet 11 buffers and eliminates the telescopic force of the telescopic spring 6. While maintaining the limiting effect of the damping ring 9 on the telescopic spring 6, the friction of the telescopic spring 6 on the damping ring 9 is greatly reduced, thereby avoiding a certain degree of wear on the inner wall of the damping ring 9, resulting in a gap between the telescopic spring 6 and the damping ring 9, thereby ensuring the buffering and shock-absorbing effect of the damping ring 9 on the tension wheel, while avoiding the abnormal noise of the tension wheel caused by the telescopic spring 6.

[0025] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
