[0033] The following further describes the present utility model in detail through specific embodiments in conjunction with the drawings.

[0034] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 In this embodiment, the provided rotation tensioning structure includes a turntable 100, a rotating shaft 200, a locking member 300, and a tensioning wheel 400.

[0035] Among them, a rotating hole 110 and an adjusting hole 120 are provided on the turntable 100, and the rotating hole 110 and the adjusting hole 120 are arranged at intervals. The rotating shaft 200 is inserted into the rotating hole 110 and is used to connect the harvester, and the turntable 100 can rotate around the rotating hole 110 as the center. The locking member 300 is arranged in the adjusting hole 120, and the locking member 300 is used to connect with the harvester to fix the turntable 100. The tensioning wheel 400 is arranged on the turntable 100 and is located on one side of the rotating hole 110, and the tensioning wheel 400 is used to connect with the chain of the harvester.

[0036] Moreover, it should be noted that the axis of the rotating shaft 200 and the axis of the tensioning wheel 400 are parallel.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the swivel base 100 cooperates with the rotating shaft 200 to achieve rotational connection with the harvester. The tension pulley 400 is continuously in contact with the chain. During the movement of the chain, the tension pulley 400 can rotate along with the chain without affecting the normal transmission of the chain.

[0038] When the chain needs to be tensioned, rotate the swivel base 100 along the rotating shaft 200 so that the tension pulley 400 can press against the chain to make the chain taut. Subsequently, insert the locking member 300 into the adjustment hole 120 and suspend it on the harvester to keep the swivel base 100 in this position, so that the tension pulley 400 can continuously press against the chain to achieve the tensioning of the chain.

[0039] In this embodiment, the rotation of the swivel base 100 drives the tension pulley 400 to press against the chain, and the position of the swivel base 100 is locked by the locking member 300. The swivel base 100 is fixed together by the locking member 300 and the rotating shaft 200, with high load-bearing capacity and not prone to skewing when the load is too large, which can avoid the chain from falling off or breaking due to excessive load and affecting the performance of the whole machine.

[0040] In this embodiment, the adjustment hole 120 is an arc-shaped long hole. The center of the arc-shaped long hole coincides with the center of the rotating hole 110.

[0041] Under this structure, the locking member 300 can be fixedly locked on the harvester. Specifically, the locking member 300 in this embodiment is a locking bolt. When adjusting the tension of the chain, disassemble or loosen the locking bolt to increase the gap between the nut of the locking bolt and the harvester, and the swivel base 100 can rotate. At this time, the operator can rotate the swivel base 100 to make the tension pulley 400 press against the chain. The locking bolt is in the arc-shaped long hole, and the arc-shaped long hole rotates with the swivel base 100 and moves relative to the locking bolt. After the position of the swivel base 100 is adjusted so that the tension pulley 400 can press against the chain, lock the locking bolt on the harvester again to press the swivel base 100 against the surface of the harvester, and the tension pulley 400 continuously presses against the chain to achieve the tensioning of the chain.

[0042] When the adjustment hole 120 is an arc-shaped long hole, only one screw hole for connecting the locking bolt needs to be provided on the harvester to adjust the tension of the chain, without the need to set up too many structures for connecting the locking bolt.

[0043] In this embodiment, the rotating hole 110, the arc-shaped long hole and the tension pulley 400 are arranged in a triangular structure on the surface of the swivel base 100. The arc-shaped long hole and the tension pulley 400 are respectively located on both sides of the rotating hole 110.

[0044] The stability of the triangular structure is very excellent. After the tension adjustment, the rotating shaft 200, the locking member 300 and the locking bolt are more stable in force.

[0045] As an implementable manner, a plurality of adjustment holes 120 may be provided. The plurality of adjustment holes 120 are arranged in an arc shape at intervals, and the arc shape coincides with the center of the rotating hole 110 .

[0046] Specifically, the adjustment hole 120 can be a plurality of circular holes, which are arranged at intervals in an arc shape. When the swivel seat 100 is rotated to tighten the chain, the plurality of circular holes can be switched to adjust the angle of the swivel seat 100 .

[0047] In this embodiment, a push portion 130 is disposed at one end of the rotating seat 100. The push portion 130 is disposed at a side of the rotating seat 100 away from the tensioning wheel 400.

[0048] The pushing portion 130 can facilitate a worker to push the rotating seat 100 to rotate.

[0049] In this embodiment, the pushing portion 130 is a push plate which is perpendicular to a side of the rotating base 100 where the tensioning wheel 400 is disposed.

[0050] Specifically, the push plate perpendicular to the rotating seat 100 can be pushed more easily, and it is more labor-saving when the rotating seat 100 needs to be pushed to rotate.

[0051] In this embodiment, a support assembly 140 is provided on the rotating seat 100. The support assembly 140 includes a support frame and a bearing. The tension wheel 400 is a sprocket wheel, which is provided on the support frame and connected with the bearing, and the sprocket wheel can be hinged with the chain of the harvester.

[0052] Specifically, the support assembly 140 in this embodiment is perpendicular to the side of the swivel seat 100 where the tensioning wheel 400 is provided. The tensioning wheel 400 uses a sprocket to ensure the linkage between the sprocket and the chain, avoiding slippage between the chain and the tensioning wheel 400, which causes wear on the surface of the tensioning wheel 400 and the chain.

[0053] In this embodiment, the support assembly 140 further includes a gasket and an elastic retaining ring. The gasket and the elastic retaining ring are both arranged on the support frame and matched with the sprocket.

[0054] The main function of the circlip is axial fixation, which is used to prevent the sprocket from moving upward. By providing axial resistance, the position of the sprocket is kept stable, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the mechanical parts. The gasket can be used as a buffer material to absorb impact energy and protect the structure of the sprocket. At the same time, during the assembly process, the gasket helps to fix the position of the sprocket and ensure assembly accuracy.

[0055] In this embodiment, the rotating seat 100 is a flat plate structure, one side of which is a mounting surface, and the rotating shaft 200, the locking member 300 and the tensioning wheel 400 are all arranged on the mounting surface.

[0056] The flat panel structure can provide a large installation area without taking up too much space.

[0057] The harvester provided in this embodiment includes a main body, a chain, and a provided rotary tensioning structure.

[0058] Among them, the chain is arranged on the main body. The rotary tensioning structure is arranged on the main body, and the tensioning wheel 400 of the rotary tensioning structure is connected to the chain.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating shaft 200 of the rotary tensioning structure passes through the rotating hole 110 on the rotating seat 100 and is then tightened on the main body. The rotating seat 100 is matched with the rotating shaft 200 to achieve rotational connection with the harvester. Refer to Figure 3 , the tensioning wheel 400 continuously contacts the chain. During the movement of the chain, the tensioning wheel 400 can rotate following the chain, without affecting the normal transmission of the chain. When the chain needs to be tensioned, rotate the rotating seat 100 along the rotating shaft 200, so that the tensioning wheel 400 can move upward and rightward in the direction shown in the figure to press the chain, making the chain taut. Subsequently, insert the locking member 300 into the adjustment hole 120 and suspend it on the harvester to keep the rotating seat 100 in this position, so that the tensioning wheel 400 can continuously press the chain to achieve the tensioning of the chain.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
