Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sprocket transmission, in particular to a sprocket adjusting seat. Background Art

[0002] Chain drive is a transmission method that transmits the movement and power of a driving sprocket with a special tooth shape to a driven sprocket with a special tooth shape through a chain. Compared with belt drive, it has no elastic sliding and slipping, accurate average transmission ratio, reliable operation and high efficiency. However, after long-term use of the chain, the chain links will become longer due to wear, which is easy to cause tooth jumping or chain derailment. Therefore, the chain is generally tensioned again by adjusting the sprocket and changing the distance between the two wheels. However, most existing chain tensioners are fixed base structures, which are directly fixed to the position where they need to be installed or on the carrier by screws. This has poor applicability and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to needs. Moreover, the adjustment structure of the sprocket is complicated. For example, in the chain adjustment and tensioning device disclosed in patent CN108662102A, the sprocket is arranged in a slide groove by an adjusting bolt and a limit spring, which is not convenient for bidirectional displacement. In addition, if the chain breaks during the tensioning process, the wheel axle and the sprocket are easy to slip, causing safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above, the utility model provides a sprocket adjustment seat, which has higher flexibility through structural optimization, can perform displacement adjustment of the three axes of XYZ, and has higher safety.

The sprocket 2 is arranged on the mounting seat 1, a chain is arranged on the outer ring of the sprocket 2, and the sprocket 2 is arranged on the mounting seat 1 through the wheel axle 3. A slide groove 11 is provided on the mounting seat 1, and the end of the wheel axle 3 is inserted into the slide groove 11. At the same time, a first adjusting bolt 12 is provided on the mounting seat 1. The first adjusting bolt 12 passes through the side wall of the slide groove 11 and connects the wheel axle 3. A threaded hole 31 is provided on the wheel axle 3. The first adjusting bolt 12 cooperates with the threaded hole 31 on the wheel axle 3, and then screwing the first adjusting bolt 12 can drive the wheel axle 3 to move in the slide groove 11.

[0018] In this embodiment, the horizontal adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment plate 4 and a second adjustment bolt 5. The adjustment plate 4 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting base 1 by screws 6. A strip hole 41 is provided on the adjustment plate 4. The lifting adjustment mechanism includes a fixing plate 7, a clamping plate 8 and a third adjustment bolt 9. The adjustment plate 4 is set on the fixing plate 7 through a connecting block 10. The connecting block 10 is fixed to the fixing plate 7 by screws 6. A threaded hole is provided on the connecting block 10. The second adjustment bolt 5 passes through the strip hole 41 and is matched and connected in the threaded hole of the connecting block 10 to fasten the adjustment plate 4 to the connecting block 10. The second adjustment bolt 5 is reversely screwed to release the fixation of the adjustment plate 4 and loosen the adjustment plate 4. Then, the adjustment plate 4 can be moved, so that the position of the second adjustment bolt 5 in the strip hole 41 of the adjustment plate 4 changes. After adjusting to the desired position, the second adjustment bolt 5 is tightened again to fix the adjustment plate 4.

[0019] Preferably, two parallel strip holes 41 are provided, and two corresponding second adjustment bolts 5 are provided to increase the connection stability. In this embodiment, the mounting seat 1 can be moved and adjusted in a horizontal position perpendicular to the direction of the slide slot 11 under the drive of the horizontal adjustment mechanism, and can be adjusted in height under the drive of the lifting adjustment mechanism.

[0020] Further, the third adjusting bolt 9 passes through the clamping plate 8 and is screwed on the fixed plate 7, so that the distance between the fixed plate 7 and the clamping plate 8 can be adjusted by the third adjusting bolt 9, and then the height of the lifting adjustment mechanism on the carrier 100 can be adjusted. Specifically, the third adjusting bolt 9 is loosened to increase the distance between the fixed plate 7 and the clamping plate 8, and the fixed plate 7 is moved to drive the connecting block 10, the adjustment plate 4 and the mounting seat 1 to change the height position on the carrier 100 as a whole. After adjusting the height, the third adjusting bolt 9 is locked to fix the fixed plate 7 and the clamping plate 8 on the carrier 100, and the vertical position adjustment can be completed. The carrier 100 referred to in this embodiment is a support body of a ready-made fixed sprocket adjustment seat.

[0021] Preferably, in this embodiment, a blocking portion 13 is provided at one end opening of the chute 11. The blocking portion 13 is hook-shaped, connected to the mounting seat 1 or integrally formed with the mounting seat 1, and blocks the wheel shaft 3 and the sprocket 2 in the chute 11 from slipping out of the chute 11 due to sudden accidental slipping.

[0022] In addition, the sprocket 1 is rotatably arranged at the center of the axle 3 , and retaining springs 32 are arranged on both sides of the axle 3 to ensure the axial stability of the sprocket 2 on the axle 3 .

[0023] The present embodiment achieves chain tension adjustment by adjusting the position of one sprocket 2 relative to the other sprocket. The specific working principle is: since the wheel axle 3 is threadedly connected to the first adjusting bolt 12, screwing the first adjusting bolt 12 can move the position of the wheel axle 3 in the slide groove 11, thereby changing the distance between the two sprockets. When the sprockets are farther apart, the chain is tensioned, and when the sprockets are closer together, the chain can be easily disassembled. The structure in the present embodiment is easy to operate. At the same time, the setting of the horizontal adjustment mechanism and the lifting adjustment mechanism in the present embodiment increases the flexibility of the mounting base 1, and can achieve position adjustment of the sprocket in the three-axis direction of XYZ, with stronger adaptability.
