Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of couplings, in particular to a rigid coupling. Background Art
[0002] Couplings are used for torque transmission during the operation of electromechanical equipment. They are mainly used to connect two shafts to make them rotate together and transmit motion and torque, so as to realize the connection and separation between the output shaft of a device and the input shaft of another device, thereby realizing power transmission and interruption.
[0003] At present, there are many types of couplings with rigid connections, including fixed couplings and movable couplings. Among them, fixed couplings include sleeve couplings, flange couplings, split-muff couplings, etc., and movable couplings include cross-slider couplings, slider couplings, chain couplings, gear couplings, and universal couplings, etc.
[0004] Among them, the most widely used one at present is the rigid sleeve coupling. The two half-shaft sleeves of this coupling are respectively docked with the two shaft ends to be docked through flat keys. The problem in the specific use process of this type of coupling is that since the two half-shaft sleeves and the main shaft usually adopt clearance fit, it is impossible to well ensure the coaxiality during the docking process of the two main shafts. In this way, during the subsequent operation process, excessive wear will occur at the shaft end part. When the wear amount is too large, the clearance will be further enlarged, and the coaxiality will be even more difficult to ensure. In this way, vibration will occur in the equipment during the subsequent operation process, seriously affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Summary of the Utility Model
