Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of couplings, in particular to a wear-resistant plum blossom coupling. Background Art

[0002] A coupling is a device that connects two shafts or a shaft and a rotating part. The shafts rotate together during the transmission of motion and power and do not disengage under normal circumstances. It is sometimes also used as a safety device to prevent the connected parts from being subjected to excessive loads, thus playing a role in overload protection. A common plum blossom coupling has an elastic gasket installed between its two metal claw disks. The elasticity of the gasket is used to counteract and compensate for slight deviations when power is transmitted between the two mechanisms, and to provide a certain buffering capacity. At present, when using a plum blossom coupling, due to the large contact area between the gasket and the outer wall of the metal claw disk, when the elasticity of the gasket is used to counteract and compensate, the gasket is prone to slight displacement with the outer wall of the metal claw disk. The friction caused by repeated displacement and resetting is likely to accelerate the wear and aging of the gasket, shorten its service life, and cause a waste of equipment costs. Based on the above problems, a wear-resistant plum blossom coupling is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, connecting columns are respectively installed on the outer walls on the opposite sides of the first metal claw plate and the second metal claw plate, and an axial hole is opened at the center position of the outer wall of the connecting column.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the wear-resistant plum blossom coupling reduces the contact area between the elastic gasket and the first metal claw plate and the second metal claw plate through the contact between the ball and the outer wall of the elastic gasket. At the same time, the ball and the elastic gasket are in rolling contact to avoid static friction and greatly reduce friction. At the same time, when the gasket is deformed, the elastic force of the rubber ball and the spring sheet is used to resist the deformed outer wall, thereby reducing the deformation amplitude of the gasket and avoiding aging caused by long-term deformation.

At the same time, it can resist the force causing deformation, reduce the force of each deformation, slow down the aging rate of the elastic gasket, and extend the service life.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. 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.

The rotation speed of the claw plate 2 changes, which can be compensated by the elasticity of the elastic gasket 3. The outer walls of the opposite sides of the first metal claw plate 1 and the second metal claw plate 2 are respectively provided with a plurality of slots 4 equidistantly arranged along the circumferential direction, and the slots 4 are adapted to the outer walls of the elastic gasket 3. During assembly, the elastic gasket 3 can be embedded in the inner cavity of the slot 4. The inner wall of the slot 4 is provided with a plurality of blind slots, and the inner cavity of the blind groove is rolled with a ball 5 embedded therein, and the outer wall of the ball 5 extends out of the inner cavity of the blind groove, and the elastic gasket 3 contacts the outer wall of the ball 5, wherein the length of the part of the ball 5 extending out of the inner cavity of the blind groove is less than its own radius, so as to prevent the ball 5 from escaping from the inner cavity of the blind groove.

[0019] In addition, the elastic gasket 3 includes a skeleton 31, and a plurality of gaskets 32 are equidistantly arranged on the outer wall of the skeleton 31 along the circumferential direction, and the gaskets 32 are embedded in the inner cavity of the card slot 4. The skeleton 31 and the gaskets 32 are both made of rubber and have a certain elastic deformation ability.

[0020] As a preferred solution, further, a buffer cavity 8 is opened in the inner cavity of the gasket 32, and a plurality of fixed cores 7 are installed along the circumferential direction on the outer wall of the skeleton 31, and the plurality of fixed cores 7 extend into the inner cavities of the plurality of buffer cavities 8 respectively, and a spring piece 9 is installed at the free end of the fixed core 7. The spring piece 9 is arranged in an arc shape and is made of elastic material. When the spring piece 9 is subjected to external force, it can undergo elastic deformation and return to its original state after the external force is removed. The preferred materials are: stainless steel or titanium alloy, and elastic hard plastic is also a preferred material.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, further, the inner cavity of the buffer cavity 8 is symmetrically provided with two rubber balls 10, and the rubber balls 10 are respectively located on both sides of the spring piece 9, and the outer wall of the rubber ball 10 is in contact with the inner wall of the gasket 32. When the outer wall of the gasket 32 ​​is deformed, the rubber ball 10 can be deformed synchronously and squeeze the spring piece 9, thereby resisting the deformation force, wherein the rubber ball 10 is an ellipsoid made of rubber material, wherein the rubber ball 10 is a hollow cavity filled with gas, which can increase the elasticity and enhance the resistance to the deformation force.

[0022] The detailed connection means are well-known technologies in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and no longer explains the electrical control.

When the external device is turned on, the first metal claw plate 1, the second metal claw plate 2 and the elastic gasket 3 rotate. When torsion occurs for compensation, the outer wall of the elastic gasket 3 rolls with the ball 5 to prevent the elastic gasket 3 from directly It contacts with the inner wall of the slot 4, reducing the friction. At the same time, when the gasket 32 ​​is deformed, it will squeeze the rubber ball 10, causing the rubber ball 10 to deform and use the elastic force of the rubber ball 10 to resist the deformation force. The spring piece 9 will also be elastically deformed due to the squeezing of the rubber ball 10 and resist the deformation force, which can prevent the gasket 32 ​​from aging prematurely due to excessive deformation. In actual use, it can not only reduce the contact area between the elastic gasket 3 and the first metal claw plate 1 and the second metal claw plate 2, but also ensure that the displacement of the contact surface is dynamic friction, thereby reducing friction. At the same time, it can resist the deformation force and reduce the deformation amplitude, thereby avoiding damage to the elastic gasket 3 and extending its service life.
