The circumference of the belt will slowly increase with the increase of service life. After the circumference of the belt becomes longer, multiple springs are still in the process of compression and rebound, so that the two moving plates are relatively close to each other. When the two moving plates are relatively close, the two sliders in the slide grooves opened on the inner walls of the two moving plates move back to back. Since the two linkage rods are in a mutually crossed state and a fixed column passes through the two linkage rods respectively, the two sliders inside the slide grooves opened on the inner wall of the other moving plate move back to back, realizing the function of the two moving plates being relatively close to each other synchronously. When the two moving plates are relatively close, the tops of the two moving plates The connected base and the tensioning wheel movably connected to the top of the base move together with the movable plate, so that the two tensioning wheels are always close to the belt, so that the belt is always kept in a tensioned state, avoiding the belt from jumping teeth and slipping due to the increase in the circumference of the belt as the service life increases, thereby improving the transmission accuracy of the transmission parts. In the prior art, after long-term use, the circumference of the belt will slowly increase with the increase in the service life, causing the belt to jump teeth and produce transmission errors, and may also slip, affecting the synchronous rotation of the transmission parts. This device avoids the belt from jumping teeth and slipping due to the increase in the circumference of the belt as the service life increases, thereby improving the transmission accuracy of the transmission parts.

The two linkage rods 8 are cross-distributed, and a hollow groove 9 is opened inside the left linkage rod 8, and the right linkage rod 8 passes through the inside of the hollow groove 9. A rotating hole 10 is opened in the middle of the two linkage rods 8, and a fixing column 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the rectangular groove 2, and the fixing column 11 passes through the rotating holes 10 inside the two linkage rods 8 in turn. A stopper 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing column 11, and a base 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the two movable plates 3, and a tensioning wheel 14 is movably connected to the top of the base 13.
[0029] When the two moving plates 3 are relatively close to each other, the two sliders 6 in the slide groove 5 opened on the inner wall of the two moving plates 3 move away from each other. Since the two linkage rods 8 are in a mutually crossed state and a fixed column 11 passes through the two linkage rods 8 respectively, the two sliders 6 inside the slide groove 5 opened on the inner wall of the other moving plate 3 move away from each other, realizing the function of synchronously approaching the two moving plates 3. When the two moving plates 3 are relatively close to each other, the base 13 connected to the top of the two moving plates 3 and the tensioning wheel 14 movably connected to the top of the base 13 move together with the moving plate 3, thereby making the two tensioning wheels 14 always close to the belt 24, so that the belt 24 is always kept in a tensioned state, avoiding the occurrence of tooth skipping and slipping of the belt 24 caused by the increase in the circumference of the belt 24 with the increase in the service life.
[0030] In one embodiment, if Figure 6As shown, limiting grooves 15 are provided on both side inner walls of the rectangular groove 2, and limiting blocks 16 are fixedly connected to both side outer walls of the two movable plates 3. The limiting blocks 16 are located inside the limiting grooves 15, so that the movement process of the two movable plates 3 is smoother. A movable groove 17 is provided on the top of the workbench 1, and there are two movable grooves 17. Both movable grooves 17 are connected with the rectangular groove 2. The base 13 is located inside the movable groove 17. When the movable plate 3 moves, the base 13 moves along the movable groove 17, and cooperates with the limiting groove 15 to jointly ensure the stability of the movable plate 3, the base 13 and the tensioning wheel 14 during the movement process.
[0031] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, a motor 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the workbench 1, and a driving shaft 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 18.

[0033] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: in the initial state, the multiple springs 4 are in a state of compression and rebound, so that the two tension wheels 14 are respectively close to the outer wall of the belt 24. The circumference of the belt 24 will slowly increase with the increase of service life. After the circumference of the belt 24 becomes longer, the multiple springs 4 are still in the process of compression and rebound, so that the two moving plates 3 are relatively close. When the two moving plates 3 are relatively close, the two sliders 6 in the chute 5 opened on the inner wall of the two moving plates 3 move back to back. Since the two linkage rods 8 are in a mutually crossed state and are respectively connected by a fixed column 11, the two linkage rods 8 are in a mutually crossed state and are respectively connected by a fixed column 11. The two linkage rods 8 are penetrated, so that the two sliders 6 inside the slide groove 5 opened on the inner wall of the other movable plate 3 move back to back, so that the two movable plates 3 can be synchronously approached to each other. When the two movable plates 3 are relatively close, the base 13 connected to the top of the two movable plates 3 and the tensioning wheel 14 movably connected to the top of the base 13 move together with the movable plate 3, so that the two tensioning wheels 14 are always in close contact with the belt 24, so that the belt 24 is always kept in a tensioned state, thereby avoiding the occurrence of tooth jumping and slipping of the belt 24 due to the increase in the circumference of the belt 24 due to the increase in the service life.
