DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0029] The utility model provides a technical solution: a timing sprocket, which is specifically as follows:
[0030] See also Figures 1 to 3 In order to enable the wheel body 1 to drive the chain during operation, a sprocket tooth 2 is provided on the outer wall of the wheel body 1;
[0031] The sprocket teeth 2 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the wheel body 1, so that when the wheel body 1 rotates, the sprocket teeth 2 are driven to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the chain to drive, thereby ensuring normal transmission of the device.
[0032] See also Figures 1 to 5 In order to prevent the wheel body 1 from being overloaded and affecting the sprocket teeth 2 during operation, blades 6 are provided in the wheel body 1;
[0033] The middle part of the outer surface of the wheel body 1 is provided with a mounting groove 3, and a positioning ring 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 3. A clamping groove 5 is provided on the inner wall of the positioning ring 4, and a blade 6 is inserted into the inner wall of the clamping groove 5. When the positioning ring 4 is installed in the mounting groove 3, the blade 6 can be fixed with the help of the clamping groove 5 provided inside the positioning ring 4, so that the thrust of the blade 6 can be transmitted to the positioning ring 4, and then the wheel body 1 can be driven with the help of the positioning ring 4; the other end of the blade 6 is clamped with the outer surface of the positioning shaft 7, and the surface of the positioning shaft 7 is provided with a positioning groove 8, and the outer surface of the positioning groove 8 is clamped with the end of the blade 6, and then the positioning shaft 7 is installed in the middle part of the positioning ring 4, and at the same time, the power of the positioning shaft 7 is transmitted to the positioning ring 4 with the help of the blade 6, so as to drive the wheel body 1 to rotate; and the arrangement of the blade 6 can ensure that the positioning shaft 7 can be fixed with the help of its own structural strength. In order to stably transmit the positioning ring 4, however, when the wheel body 1 is stuck or the engine has problems, the overload torque can break the blade 6, so that the positioning shaft 7 will idle inside the wheel body 1, thereby avoiding continued power transmission to damage the engine, thereby improving the practicality of the device; and the setting of the blade 6 can not only avoid damage to the wheel body 1 caused by overload by virtue of its own damage, but also make use of the toughness of the blade 6 itself. When the chain vibrates, the elastic force of the blade 6 can offset the vibration, thereby ensuring the generation of noise, further improving the practicality of the device, and the blade 6 is installed between the positioning ring 4 and the positioning shaft 7 in the form of a ring array, and then the direction of the blade 6 can be changed according to the different transmission directions, so that the device is suitable for different usage requirements, further improving the scope of application of the device.
[0034] See also Figures 1 to 3 In order to prevent the blades 6 from scattering outwards and causing secondary damage after breaking, retaining rings 13 are provided on both sides of the wheel body 1;
[0035] The two ends of the positioning shaft 7 are fixedly connected with a chuck 9, and the outer surface of the chuck 9 is sleeved with a retaining ring 13, which can form a barrier between the positioning shaft 7 and the positioning ring 4; a limiting groove 10 is provided on the outer surface of the chuck 9, and the inner wall retaining rod of the retaining ring 13 is connected with a clamping block 14 adapted to the limiting groove 10, and then with the help of the mutual cooperation between the clamping block 14 and the limiting groove 10, the retaining ring 13 is driven to rotate when the positioning shaft 7 drives the chuck 9 to rotate; even after the blade 6 is damaged, the positioning shaft 7 can still drive the retaining ring 13 to rotate, so that the retaining ring 13 can block the damaged blade 6, thereby preventing the broken blade 6 from causing secondary damage to the engine, and at the same time, after the staff removes the retaining ring 13, it is convenient to collect and replace the blade 6.
[0036] See also Figures 1 to 5 In order to drive the positioning shaft 7 and the chuck 9 to rotate, a limiting ring 11 is provided on the surface of the chuck 9;
[0037] The end of the limiting ring 11 is provided with a keyway 12, which makes it easy to install and fix the device; a pressure ring 15 is sleeved on the outer surface of the limiting ring 11, and the pressure ring 15 can block the internal retaining ring 13, thereby ensuring the rotation stability of the retaining ring 13 during rotation; the outer surface of the pressure ring 15 is fixedly connected with a fixing seat 16 all around, and the outer surface of the wheel body 1 is provided with a fixing groove 17 adapted to the fixing seat 16, so that the pressure ring 15 can be fixed to the outer wall of the wheel body 1 with the help of a fixing bolt 18, so that the wheel body 1 and the pressure ring 15 can rotate synchronously, but the pressure ring 15 rotates coaxially with the positioning shaft 7 but is not fixed to each other, so that even after the positioning shaft 7 breaks the blade 6, the pressure ring 15 can still be supported by the limiting ring 11, so as to avoid the displacement of the wheel body 1 after losing the support of the blade 6, thereby avoiding the situation where it falls off and causes secondary damage to the engine;
[0038] The electrical components mentioned in this article are all connected to an external main controller and 220V mains electricity, and the main controller can be a conventional known device for controlling a computer or the like.
[0039] In the utility model, the working steps of the device are as follows:
[0040] First, the positioning ring 4 is installed inside the mounting groove 3 in the wheel body 1 in an interference fit manner, and then the positioning shaft 7 is inserted into the positioning ring 4, and then the blades 6 are installed between the card slot 5 and the positioning groove 8 in a circular array, so that the rotation of the positioning shaft 7 can drive the positioning ring 4 and the wheel body 1 to rotate, and then the retaining ring 13 is clamped into the surface of the chuck 9 with the help of the clamping block 14, and the clamping block 14 is inserted into the limiting groove 10, so that the internal blades 6 can be blocked and protected, and the pressure ring 15 is sleeved on the surface of the limiting ring 11, and the fixing seat 16 can be clamped into the fixing seat 16. The fixing seat 16 and the fixing groove 17 are installed and fixed by means of the fixing bolts 18 to complete the assembly of the device. The device can be installed at a suitable position of the engine. In the event of overload, the blade 6 can be broken by means of the excessive torque of the positioning shaft 7, so that the positioning shaft 7 idles inside the positioning ring 4. When replacing, the staff removes the fixing bolts 18, the pressure ring 15 and the retaining ring 13, and replaces the internal blade 6. If the positioning ring 4 and the positioning shaft 7 are damaged, the designated parts can be replaced separately.
