Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical equipment, in particular to a convenient replacement structure for the pull spring of an overrunning clutch. Background Art

[0002] An overrunning clutch is a mechanical device used to interrupt power connection. When it is applied to a press, it can be used to interrupt the torque of the flywheel and achieve the function of clutch. There are various types of overrunning clutches. In some precision presses, an overrunning clutch with a pull spring is usually set. This kind of clutch utilizes the cooperation of a hexagonal cam, rollers and a clutch outer sleeve, and realizes the function of power interruption through the position change of the rollers. The disadvantage of the existing such clutch is that since the pull spring is a vulnerable part, when replacing it, it is necessary to disassemble multiple components such as the flywheel on the crankshaft before the pull spring can be conveniently replaced and installed, which is very time-consuming and laborious. This is because the pull spring is required to be as close to the circumferential line as possible during use and not be obliquely pulled, so the space where the pull spring is located is very narrow, and it is impossible to directly use tools to unscrew the screws and take out the pull spring. Therefore, people have conducted a lot of research on this. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a convenient replacement structure for the pull spring of an overrunning clutch, which can solve the problems in the above-mentioned prior art.

[0036] Beneficially, a tension spring assembly is connected between the sleeve flange 12 and the sleeve 13.

[0037] Embodiment 3 further defines a convenient replacement structure for the overrunning clutch tension spring on the basis of Embodiment 2. The tension spring assembly includes a tension spring 32. The two ends of the tension spring 32 are respectively provided with a first screw 24 and a second screw 26. The first screw 24 is in threaded engagement with the upper end of the sleeve flange 12, and the second screw 26 is in threaded engagement with the lower end of the sleeve 13. The tension spring 32 is connected between the first screw 24 and the second screw 26 along the spring track 33 from the rear side. Circular rings are arranged at both ends of the tension spring 32, and the first screw 24 and the second screw 26 pass through the circular rings.

[0038] Beneficially, a groove 52 is provided at the top of the sleeve flange 12, and a fixing block 22 is inserted into the groove 52. A partition sleeve 19 is arranged on one side of the sleeve 13, and the partition sleeve 19 abuts against the sleeve flange 12 and the fixing block 22. After the fixing block 22 is removed, a vacancy is formed between the sleeve flange 12 and the sleeve 13, which is convenient for personnel to install the tension spring 32 between the sleeve flange 12 and the sleeve 13.

[0039] Beneficially, a first screw hole 23 is arranged in the fixing block 22, and a second screw hole 14 is arranged in the sleeve 13. The first screw 24 is in threaded engagement with the first screw hole 23, and the second screw 26 is in threaded engagement with the second screw hole 14.

[0040] Beneficially, a third screw hole 51 is arranged in the fixing block 22 and the sleeve flange 12, and the fixing block 22 is detachably connected and fixed to the sleeve flange 12 by arranging a bolt in the third screw hole 51.

[0041] The working principle of this clutch is as follows: When the press is actually working, a swingable pressure lever is arranged on the press. The pressure lever can swing elastically. When a person presses down, the pressure lever disengages from the step on the outer surface of the sleeve 13. The abutting outer surface of the sleeve 13 is in the shape of an involute and has a step. When a person does not press down the pressure lever, the pressure lever elastically resets and abuts and fixes against the step on the outer surface of the sleeve 13.

[0042] In the first case, when the compression rod abuts against the step on the outer surface of the coupling, the sleeve 13 and the connecting block 28 are limited and cannot rotate. At this time, there is no relative movement between the hexagonal cam 18, the connecting block 28, and the sleeve 13. Then, at this time, the roller cylinder 43 can freely move within the area formed between the connecting block 28 and the plane 42. At this time, the flywheel 17 is still driven by the pulley and belt in the external space to rotate. Then, it causes the flywheel 17 and the clutch sleeve 21 to rotate annularly around the outer surface of the connecting block 28. At this time, the power of the flywheel 17 cannot be transmitted to the crankshaft 11.

[0043] In the second case, after the operator presses down the compression rod, the compression rod is disengaged from the outer surface of the second screw 26. Taking the crankshaft 11 as the stationary reference system, after the tension spring elastically returns, since the sleeve flange 12 and the crankshaft 11 are power-connected through the key block 25 and they maintain the same motion state, the same is true for the hexagonal cam 18. Then, after the tension spring elastically returns, it will pull the sleeve 13 and the connecting block 28 to rotate counterclockwise for reset. Then, it will drive the connecting block 28 to rotate relative to the crankshaft 11 and the hexagonal cam 18. When the connecting block 28 pushes the roller cylinder 43 and moves to the side close to the convex surface 41, it is clamped by the plane 42 and the inner diameter surface of the clutch sleeve 21. Then, the hexagonal cam 18, the crankshaft 11, the connecting block 28, the clutch sleeve 21, and the sleeve 13 can be clamped and power-connected. Then, the power of the flywheel 17 is transmitted to the crankshaft 11 through the hexagonal cam 18, the key block 25, the connecting block 28, the clutch sleeve 21, the sleeve 13, and the roller cylinder 43, causing the crankshaft 11 to rotate. After the crankshaft 11 rotates, it can drive the cam on the crankshaft to rotate, realizing the corresponding stamping function.

[0044] Then, after the compression rod abuts against the outer surface of the coupling again, that is, against the step of the sleeve 13, the first case will be reached to interrupt the power.

[0045] When replacing the elastic tension spring 32, stop the equipment. Remove the bolt in the third screw hole 51 to separate the elastic tension spring 32 from the sleeve flange 12. Take out the fixed block 22 from the groove 52, and then the elastic tension spring 32 sleeved outside the first screw 24 can be removed. And the part of the elastic tension spring 32 of the second screw 26 can also be easily removed.

[0046] The above are only specific implementation methods of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this. Any changes or substitutions that are not conceived through creative work should be included in the protection scope of the utility model; therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope defined in the claims.
