It should be noted that the following embodiments are only used to explain the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the present application.

[0030] Embodiment 1:

[0031] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 A high-speed and heavy-loaded universal cross coupling comprises: a first connecting flange 1, a first cross bag 5, a second connecting flange, a second cross bag, a spline sleeve 7, and a spline shaft assembly 12, wherein the spline sleeve and the spline shaft assembly are connected, the other end of the spline sleeve is connected to the upper and lower ends of the first cross bag, and the left and right ends of the first cross bag are connected to the first connecting flange; the other end of the spline shaft assembly is connected to the upper and lower ends of the second cross bag, and the left and right ends of the second cross bag are connected to the second connecting flange.

[0032] The utility model uses two end connection flanges to be fixed by connecting bolts M20x60 2 and nuts M20 3 to transmit the power of the left end to the flange, transmit it to the spline sleeve through the first cross bag, transmit it to the spline shaft through the spline sleeve spline pair, and then transmit it to the second connection flange at the right end through the second cross bag, and then fix it by bolts and nuts. The power of the left end is transmitted to the right end flange. Due to the parallel mode, the input and output torques of the left and right ends can be transmitted without loss.

[0033] The first cross bag includes: an oil cup 15, a retaining ring 4, a bearing sleeve 17, a bearing 18, and a crosshead 19. The other end of the spline sleeve is connected to the upper and lower ends of the first cross bag, including installing the upper and lower ends of the crosshead into the first connecting flange, and then installing the bearing, the bearing sleeve, the retaining ring, and the oil cup in sequence. The function of the retaining ring is to prevent the radial movement of the crosshead, and the function of the oil cup is to add grease.

[0034] The left and right ends of the first cross bag are connected to the first connecting flange, including installing the left and right ends of the cross head into the other end of the spline shaft, and then installing the bearing, bearing sleeve, retaining ring, and oil cup in sequence, the retaining ring is used to prevent the radial movement of the cross head, and the oil cup is used to add grease. The assembly structure and sequence of the second cross bag are the same as those of the first cross bag.

[0035] The crosshead is made of 20CrMnTi, a die forging, and adopts carburizing and quenching technology. The carburizing layer depth is 1.2-1.6mm and the hardness is 56-60HRC. This ensures that the crosshead has sufficient strength and toughness.

[0036] In some embodiments, the torque is transmitted through a rectangular spline pair consisting of a spline sleeve and a spline shaft. The spline sleeve is a die forging made of 42CrMo with a quenched and tempered hardness of 240-300HBS, thus ensuring the strength requirements of the spline sleeve.

[0037] The spline pair is centered on the outer diameter of the spline shaft to ensure smooth operation, and the torque is transmitted on the rectangular spline key side. The spline specifications are 10 (teeth)-125 (outer diameter) x102 (inner diameter) x18 (key width).

[0038] The spline shaft of the utility model is composed of a spline shaft 20, a tube 21 and a fork 22 (all made of 40Cr) which are heat-fitted and welded with an interference fit of 0.05-0.1mm, thereby ensuring strength requirements and reducing weight, which is particularly important in high-speed and heavy-loaded universal couplings.

[0039] The spline part is tempered and milled, and then high-frequency treated, with a hardness of 45-55HRC to ensure the strength and wear resistance of the spline part.

[0040] In addition, in order to facilitate maintenance observation or inspection of weld quality, a fluorescent ring band 26 is designed 5 mm next to the weld to facilitate later use and maintenance, greatly improve visibility, and be able to promptly detect weld quality problems to prevent major accidents.

[0041] In some embodiments, a groove for placing the balancing block assembly 6 is arranged on the outer circle of the spline sleeve and the spline shaft, and the two side surfaces of the groove are configured as inclined surfaces to match the left balancing block 23 and the right balancing block 24 of the balancing block assembly. The middle joint surface between the left and right balancing blocks is drilled and tapped, and fastened by screws 25.

[0042] In some embodiments, the angles of the inclined surfaces on both sides of the groove are 10°; and the cross section of the groove is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

[0043] In some embodiments, the outer circle composed of the spline sleeve and the spline shaft of the utility model is provided with a groove for placing the balance block. The two sides of the groove are turned into a 10° inclined surface and the left balance block and the right balance block composed of the balance block. The middle joint surface of the left and right balance blocks is drilled and tapped M10-7H. After the screws are tightened, the lower end is pressed against the inner and outer circles of the groove composed of the spline sleeve or the spline shaft. The tighter the pressing, the more the left and right balance blocks will move upward, and the left and right balance blocks will be tightly fitted on the inclined surface without loosening. This combined balance block is very convenient for later debugging and maintenance, and can avoid the occurrence of cracks due to stress concentration caused by welding. At the same time, it is convenient and reliable to disassemble. In some embodiments, the crosshead is made of 20CrMnTi, a die forging, using a carburizing and quenching process, with a carburizing layer depth of 1.2-1.6mm and a hardness of 56-60HRC; the spline sleeve is a die forging, made of 42CrMo, with a quenching and tempering hardness of 240-300HBS.

[0044] The right end seal of the utility model is assembled on the right end face of the spline sleeve by positioning the sealing sleeve 10, bolt M10x35 8, and nut M10 9. The right end of the sealing sleeve has a sealing groove, which is equipped with an O-ring 11. The inner hole of the O-ring slides on the outer circle of the spline shaft to seal the grease. This structure avoids the possibility of leakage and environmental pollution caused by rectangular rubber seals, and is more reliable and durable. The left end seal of the utility model is placed in the groove of the spline sleeve by placing the end cover 14, knocking the edge and riveting it, so that the grease is sealed at the left end.

[0045] The technical parameters of the cross universal coupling are as follows:

[0046] Rated torque: 40000N.m

[0047] Maximum speed: 2600r / min

[0048] Length: 2000±50mm;

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is used to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
