Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a clutch device used for a special door of a large ship, in particular to a three-position clutch switching device. Background Art

[0002] The main function of the three-position clutch switching device is to realize the switching of the three power modes of the special door device: electric, manual and pneumatic.

[0003] The existing clutch device field mainly has the following problems:

[0004] (1) Generally, hangar doors on land are controlled by electricity. However, when there is a power outage, a motor or a control system failure, the drive system cannot be used, making it impossible to guarantee the control of the hangar door, resulting in work paralysis and inability to carry out subsequent work normally.

[0005] (2) For land-based sliding hangar doors, the drive system is hidden at the lower end of the door body and uses a reducer. The reducer uses an electric brake with a release device. When a power outage or accident occurs, it is often necessary to manually drive the release device while pushing and pulling the door leaf. During this process, a dedicated person must always ensure that the release device is in the corresponding position, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and labor-intensive.

[0006] (3) The existing land hangar door adopts a manual electric clutch mechanism. During normal operation, the driving sprocket and the driven sprocket rotate together. When there is a power outage or failure, the positioning hand wheel is pressed to drive the transmission tube and the lever, and the internal teeth are slid to move the driven sprocket, thereby disconnecting the driven sprocket and the driving sprocket. This only serves as a disconnection function, and the door body still needs to be pushed and pulled manually.

[0007] In summary, a clutch switching device capable of switching between electric, manual, and pneumatic power sources is needed for special gate devices. Under normal circumstances, it is driven by an electric motor. In the event of a power failure, a manual or pneumatic emergency operating mechanism can be used to open and close the special gate device in an emergency. This improves the safety of the special gate device, has a compact structure, and is easy to operate. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the three-position clutch switching device proposed by the utility model mainly consists of an input shaft 1, a key 7, a shaft elastic circlip 2, an oil retaining ring 3, a hole elastic circlip 4, a bearing 5, a sleeve 6, a clutch outer tooth 16, a manual sprocket 17, a clutch inner tooth 10, a set screw 8, a cable spring 9, a clutch sleeve 15, a pneumatic sprocket 11, a pressure plate 12, a seat 22, a shift fork 23, a shift block 25, a pin 1 24, a pin 26, a pin 3 28, a copper sleeve 27, a shaft elastic circlip 2 29, a handle 18, a spring 19, a pressure rod 20, a rivet pin 21, a manual position travel switch 30, a pneumatic position travel switch 31 and fasteners.

[0033] The input shaft 1 is connected to the clutch outer teeth 16 via a key 7. The middle portion of the clutch outer teeth 16 is an external spline structure, and the clutch outer teeth 16 are axially positioned by a shaft shoulder and a pressure plate 12.

[0034] One end of manual sprocket 17 or pneumatic sprocket 11 is a sprocket, which is connected with a manual or pneumatic power source by a chain. The other end of manual sprocket 17 or pneumatic sprocket 11 is an external spline.

[0035] The clutch outer teeth 16 are connected to the manual sprocket 17 or the pneumatic sprocket through a bearing 5, and the bearing 5 is positioned by an oil retaining ring 3, a circlip 13, and a sleeve 6. The inner space between the clutch outer teeth 16 and the manual sprocket 17 or the pneumatic sprocket 11 is filled with grease.

[0036] The top of the shift fork 23 is connected to the seat frame 22 via pin 1 24. The middle of the shift fork 23 is connected to the shift block 25 via pin 26 and secured with a shaft circlip. The bottom of the shift fork 23 is connected to the seat frame 22 via a copper sleeve 27 and pin 3 28, and secured with a shaft circlip 1 29, serving as a hinge point. The shift block 25 nests within the slide groove of the clutch sleeve 15.

[0037] The clutch sleeve 15 and the clutch inner teeth 10 are fixed by a set screw 8, and the set screw 8 is prevented from loosening by a steel cable spring 9, so that the clutch sleeve 15 and the clutch inner teeth 10 become a whole.

[0038] When the clutch device is in the middle position, the device is in the electric state. At this time, the rotation of the input shaft 1 drives the clutch outer teeth 16 to rotate through the key, and the manual sprocket 17 and the pneumatic sprocket 11 do not rotate.

[0039] The seat frame 22 is provided with three positions: electric A, manual B, and pneumatic C. The three positions are independent of each other. The three positions are switched by pressing the moving handle 18.

[0040] The pressure rod 20 is connected to the pin 1 24 through the rivet pin 21, the spring 19 is passed through the pressure rod 20, and the handle 18 is sleeved on the outside of the pressure rod 20. When it is necessary to switch to the manual B position or the pneumatic C position, the spring 19 is compressed by pressing the handle 18 to push the pressure rod 20 to move up and down in the fork 23, and the handle 18 is moved to allow the pin 1 24 to slide in the groove of the seat frame. When the handle 18 reaches the manual B or pneumatic C position, the handle 18 is released and reset under the action of the spring 19, and the pin 1 24 is stuck in the manual B or pneumatic C position corresponding to the seat frame and locked.

[0041] At this time, the clutch sleeve slides axially, and the rotation of the manual sprocket 17 or the pneumatic sprocket 11 cooperates with the clutch inner teeth 10 through the external spline structure. The spline structure between the clutch inner teeth 10 and the clutch outer teeth 16 drives the clutch outer teeth 16 to rotate, and drives the input shaft 1 to rotate through the key connection.

[0042] At the same time, the handle 18 triggers the travel switch of the manual B or pneumatic C position, and transmits the signal to the electrical control system to achieve interlocking control.
