AI Technical Summary
In existing papermaking equipment, the compression force of the tensioner gradually decays as the belt softens, resulting in unstable operation of the roller.
A tensioning mechanism including a manual downward press unit and an automatic compensation unit is designed, and the spring in the automatic compensation unit is compressed by a manual downward press unit to maintain the compression function of the synchronization belt.
The tensioning mechanism always maintains sufficient compression force when the synchronous belt is softened, avoiding the gradual decline in the compression effect and ensuring the smooth operation of the roller.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tensioners, in particular to a roller tensioner for papermaking. Background Art
[0002] A papermaking roller tensioner is a mechanical device used to secure and adjust the drive belt (which may be a roller or other transmission element in papermaking machinery). Its primary function is to ensure sufficient belt tension for stable and efficient power transmission, thereby maintaining the normal operation of the papermaking equipment. In existing tensioners, the compression force is achieved by applying a spring-loaded return force to the tensioner pulley to tighten the timing belt. However, as the belt softens, the spring's elastic potential energy diminishes as it returns to its original position, causing the spring's downward pressure to gradually decrease. As the timing belt softens, the downward pressure also becomes insufficient. This long-term trend leads to insufficient tension, ultimately affecting the smooth operation of the rollers in the papermaking equipment. Utility Model Content

[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0017] See also Figures 1 to 3 In an embodiment of the utility model, a roller tensioner for papermaking includes an end plate 1, and a plurality of rollers 2 for conveying paper are rotatably installed between the two end plates 1. Both ends of the plurality of rollers 2 pass through the outside of the end plate 1, and both ends of the rollers 2 are connected with a transmission wheel 3. The plurality of transmission wheels 3 are synchronously transmitted and connected through a transmission belt 4. A tensioning mechanism for tensioning the transmission belt 4 is installed on the end plate 1, and the tensioning mechanism includes a manual pressing unit and an automatic compensation unit; the automatic compensation unit is slidably connected to the inside of the manual pressing unit and passes through the bottom of the manual pressing unit; a limiting roller 5 for limiting the transmission belt 4 is rotatably installed at one end of the outer side of the end plate 1.
[0018] In this embodiment, first, a driving motor is installed with a transmission wheel 3. When conveying paper, the driving motor is started, and the driving motor drives the transmission wheel 3 connected thereto to rotate. The transmission wheel 3 drives the other multiple transmission wheels 3 to rotate synchronously through the transmission belt 4. The rotating transmission wheel 3 drives the rollers 2 connected thereto to rotate. The multiple rollers 2 rotate synchronously, at the same speed, and in the same direction, thereby conveying paper.
[0019] During the conveying process, the limiting roller 5 limits the transmission belt 4 so that the wrap angle between the transmission belt 4 and the transmission wheel 3 meets the requirement of being greater than 120 degrees;
[0020] During the long-term use of the transmission belt 4, the transmission belt 4 softens and is prone to slipping. When the softening is not serious, the automatic compensation unit automatically presses down the transmission belt 4 to ensure that the transmission belt 4 is in an effectively tensioned state. When the softening of the transmission belt 4 is serious, the automatic compensation unit is not sufficient to tighten the transmission belt 4. At this time, the manual pressing unit is manually rotated, and the downward moving manual pressing unit is used to effectively tighten the transmission belt 4.
[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top end of the end plate 1 is fixedly connected to a mounting base 6 with an L-shaped structure, and the horizontal plate portion of the mounting base 6 is connected to the manual pressing unit.
[0022] In this embodiment, the mounting seat 6 is used to provide rotational support for the manual pressing unit, thereby enabling normal use of the manual pressing unit.
[0023] Please refer to Figure 2 and 3 The tensioning mechanism also includes a rotating seat 11 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting slide 10, and a tensioning wheel 12 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the rotating seat 11, and the outer periphery of the tensioning wheel 12 contacts the surface of the transmission belt 4.
[0024] In this embodiment, the tensioning wheel 12 provides sufficient downward pressure on the transmission belt 4, so that when the transmission belt 4 softens, the tensioning wheel 12 applying downward pressure can compress the softened and loose transmission belt 4.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The manual pressing unit includes a stud 7 threadedly connected to the horizontal plate portion of the mounting base 6, a turntable 8 is fixedly connected to the top center of the stud 7, and a rotating handle 9 is fixedly connected to the top eccentric position of the turntable 8.
[0026] In this embodiment: when using the manual pressing unit, by holding the rotating handle 9, the rotating handle 9 drives the turntable 8 to rotate, and the rotating turntable 8 simultaneously drives the stud 7 to rotate downward. The downward moving stud 7 can accumulate elastic potential energy for the automatic compensation unit, or directly drive the automatic compensation unit to move downward, thereby achieving effective compression of the transmission belt 4.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The automatic compensation unit includes a receiving groove 15 opened inside the stud 7 and extending to the bottom of the stud 7. An anti-slip plate 17 is slidably connected in the square groove of the receiving groove 15. The top of the anti-slip plate 17 is fixedly connected to the lifting slide 10. The lifting slide 10 extends through the circular groove of the receiving groove 15 and extends to the bottom of the stud 7. A spring 16 is fixedly connected between the top of the inner wall of the receiving groove 15 and the top of the anti-slip plate 17.
[0028] In this embodiment: when the transmission belt 4 is slightly softened, the spring 16 is reset, and the spring 16 pushes the anti-slip plate 17 to move downward along the inner wall of the accommodating groove 15. The downward moving anti-slip plate 17 drives the lifting slide column 10 to move downward, thereby driving the tensioning wheel 12 to tighten the transmission belt 4.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 2 A limiting groove 14 is vertically opened on the outer side of the end plate 1, and the inner wall of the limiting groove 14 is slidably connected to the limiting slider 13. One end of the limiting slider 13 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating seat 11, and the cross-section of the limiting slider 13 and the limiting groove 14 is a "convex" structure.
[0030] In this embodiment: during the rotation of the stud 7, the limiting slider 13 slides up and down along the inner wall of the limiting slot 14, thereby preventing the tensioning wheel 12 from rotating along with the rotation of the stud 7, and realizing that the tensioning wheel 12 only moves up and down, thereby achieving a moving and clamping effect.
[0031] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
