Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a novel spring mechanism and belongs to the technical field of springs. Background Art

[0002] A tension spring is a mechanical elastic element with the ability of elastic deformation. Under the action of an external force, the tension spring will deform, but when the external force disappears, the tension spring can automatically return to its original state. The tension spring is usually wound into a spiral shape by spring wire to form a spiral spring body. The two ends are respectively connected to two tension spring joints of a mechanical structure and are screwed into each other mechanically. The joints tightly connect the head and tail ends of the tension spring together to form a closed ring structure. Although the tension spring joints can connect the head and tail ends of the tension spring, in some cases, the connection may not be stable enough. Especially when subjected to a large external force or vibration, the joints may become loose or break. The material of the tension spring joints is usually the same as that of the tension spring, so it is also affected by material limitations. In some special environments, such as high temperature and high pressure environments, the material of the tension spring joints may become unstable, affecting their connection performance and service life. The processing accuracy requirements of the tension spring joints are relatively high, and the processing difficulty is relatively large. If the processing is improper, it may lead to poor fit between the joints and the tension spring, affecting their connection effect and stability. The tension spring joints are usually screwed into the tension spring by interference fit, which is easy to cause stress concentration, and usually the fracture occurs at the connection part; the service life of the tension spring is less than that of the compression spring.

[0003] A tension spring is a helical spring that bears axial tension. The forms of its hooks include side hook tension springs, long hook tension springs, British hook tension springs, German hook tension springs, semi-circular hook tension springs, duckbill hook tension springs, etc. The "hook" is used to ensure the source of the tension of the tension spring and is generally made of spring steel with a circular cross-section material. When not under load, the coils of the tension spring are generally tightly joined without gaps and work by using the resilience (tension) after stretching to control the movement of machine parts, store energy, measure the magnitude of force, etc. Most tension springs are usually under a certain degree of tension, even without any load. This initial tension determines the tightness of the tension spring coil without any load.

[0004] The structure and process characteristics of the tension spring are relatively simple. Under the action of an external force, its elasticity is not as good as that of the compression spring and it is easy to deform; the hooks of the tension spring need to be processed into a specific connection shape, which is easy to cause stress concentration, and usually the fracture occurs at the connection part; the service life of the tension spring is less than that of the compression spring.

[0005] Both of the above two schemes have the problem that the structure length of the tension spring is long, and when encountering vibration during use, there will be a jitter phenomenon, resulting in fluctuations in the tension. This fluctuation will be transmitted to the connected mechanism, causing vibration of the connected mechanism. If it is a connected signal generating mechanism, it will cause the signal point to flash and break. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] Purpose of the utility model: The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a novel spring mechanism. By changing the original tension spring design to a compression spring, the service life of the spring mechanism is greatly improved. The nut and the spring bracket are used in cooperation with the end face of the compression spring to reduce stress concentration points at fault points and improve product safety.

[0007] Technical solution: The novel spring mechanism described in the present utility model includes a reset pull rod and a spring bracket. The reset pull rod is a rod-shaped structure with a handle at the upper end. There is a first through hole on the handle. The spring bracket is a "U"-shaped structure with a second through hole at the lower end. There is a round hole on the upper end face of the spring bracket. After the reset pull rod passes through the round hole on the upper end face of the spring bracket, a spring is sleeved on the outside. A nut is provided at the lower end of the reset pull rod. The spring is located between the nut and the upper end face of the spring bracket.

[0008] Further, a reinforcing rib that bends downward is provided at the upper end of the spring bracket. The reinforcing rib fixes the upper end of the spring, and the length of the spring in the relaxed state just touches the front nut.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner length of the reinforcing rib is the same as the outer side length of the nut, and the length of the space diagonal formed by the two side edges of the spring bracket and the reinforcing rib is greater than the diagonal length of the nut.

[0010] Further, a core filling is provided inside the lower end of the spring bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, the height of the core filling is 13 - 14.5 mm.

[0012] Further, both the core filling and the spring bracket are made of carbon structural steel.

[0013] Further, the nut is made of stainless steel.

[0014] Further, the spring is made of spring steel wire.

[0018] Further, the length of the spring bracket is 27 - 130 mm, and its upper end face is a square structure with a side length of 18 x 18 mm.

[0019] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following advantages:

[0020] (1) The present utility model changes the original tension spring design to a compression spring, greatly improving the service life of the spring mechanism; uses a nut and a spring bracket to cooperate with the end face of the compression spring, reducing stress concentration points at fault points and improving product safety;

[0022] (3) The present utility model uses a square nut with a side length greater than the space, so that the nut will not loosen and fail even when other anti-rotation measures fail. Description of the Drawings
