Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of couplings, and in particular relates to coupling accessories sorting and assembling equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of science and technology and the development of industrial level, more and more industrial products are widely used in various equipment. As one of the most widely used products, couplings have a wide range of application needs. As a widely used product among couplings, plum blossom couplings have a relatively simple structure, excellent performance, and a large number of applications. Plum blossom couplings are mainly composed of two metal claws and an elastomer. The metal claws are generally made of 45 steel or aluminum alloy. The elastomers are divided into many types according to their hardness. The elastomers are used in the middle of the coupling to play the role of shock absorption, insulation, and buffering torque transmission. The higher the hardness, the greater the torque transmitted. The integrity of the elastomer determines the service life of the plum blossom coupling. In order to meet the backlash-free characteristics of the coupling, the elastomer and the metal claw are interference fit. The processing method of the elastomer is mostly injection molding. Its external dimensions are different due to the physical properties of the elastomer and the tolerance of the mold.

[0003] At present, the plum blossom coupling is assembled manually, which is difficult to assemble. If the tolerance of the elastomer is too large, the elastomer is easily damaged during installation. If the tolerance of the elastomer is too small, the backlash is too large when the finished product is used. Utility Model Content
