[0023] 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.
[0024] The utility model provides a sealed sleeve coupling, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a sleeve 1, a connecting ring 2 is installed in the middle of the sleeve 1, an upper end cover 3 is installed at one end of the sleeve 1, and a thrust ring 4 is installed at the other end of the sleeve 1. An O-type rubber sealing ring 7 is installed on the side of the upper end cover 3 and the thrust ring 4 close to the sleeve 1. The connecting ring 2 and the thrust ring 4 are both split structures, and an annular groove 21 is provided on the inner side of the middle part of the connecting ring 2. Through the carefully designed structural combination, the sealing performance of the coupling is significantly improved. Specifically, the connecting ring 2 installed in the middle of the sleeve 1, and the upper end cover 3 and the thrust ring 4 respectively provided at both ends, together constitute a reliable sealing system. In this system, the addition of the O-type rubber sealing ring 7 effectively prevents the leakage of lubricating oil and the intrusion of external impurities and moisture, thereby ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the shaft transmission.
[0025] The split design of the coupling ring 2 and thrust ring 4 not only facilitates installation and maintenance but also enhances the coupling's adaptability and flexibility. The annular groove 21, located on the inner side of the coupling ring 2, tightly mates with the cam at the end of the mating shaft, ensuring the coupling's stability and reliability during torque transmission.
[0026] To sum up, the sealed sleeve coupling provided by the utility model achieves a comprehensive improvement in the sealing performance, connection stability and ease of use of the coupling through innovative structural design, meets the high requirements of the coupling in specific application scenarios, and provides a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the mechanical transmission system.
[0027] In this embodiment, the upper end cap 3 and the thrust snap ring 4 are both fixed to the end of the sleeve 1 via hexagon socket head cap screws 5. Both the upper end cap 3 and the thrust snap ring 4 are securely fastened to the end of the sleeve 1 via hexagon socket head cap screws 5. This fixing method not only ensures the stability and reliability of the upper end cap and the thrust snap ring during operation of the coupling, but also facilitates installation and removal, improving maintenance efficiency.
[0028] Specifically, a spring washer 6 is installed inside the end of the hexagon socket head screw 5. The presence of the spring washer effectively prevents the screw from loosening under vibration or external force, further enhancing the connection tightness between the upper end cover and thrust retaining ring and the sleeve coupling, ensuring the overall stability and safety of the coupling.
[0029] Furthermore, the coupling snap ring 2 includes two semicircular snap rings, one on the lower and one on the upper. This split structural design makes the coupling snap ring more convenient to install and remove, and the tightness and position of the snap ring can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby improving the adaptability and flexibility of the coupling.
[0030] Furthermore, the thrust retaining ring 4 includes two upper and lower semicircular limiting rings. This design is also convenient for installation and removal, and can effectively limit the movement of the shaft body in the coupling, ensuring the stability and reliability of the coupling during torque transmission.
[0031] Furthermore, the outer wall of the sleeve 1 is provided with a circle of lifting slots 8. The presence of the lifting slots makes the coupling more convenient and safer during the lifting and transportation process, improves work efficiency, and reduces the risk of damage caused by improper operation.
[0032] Furthermore, the inner wall of the sleeve 1 is provided with a keyway for accommodating a flat key, and the inner wall of the sleeve 1 is connected to the shaft to be connected via the flat key. This connection method is not only simple and reliable, but also can effectively transmit torque, ensuring the stable operation of the coupling in the mechanical transmission system.
[0033] Furthermore, the annular groove 21 is adapted to the size of the convex ring at the end of the shaft body to be connected. This design ensures a tight fit between the connecting ring and the shaft body, improves the stability and reliability of the coupling during torque transmission, and reduces the risk of wear and damage caused by improper fit.
[0034] When in use, the sealed sleeve coupling of this utility model consists of a sleeve 1 as the main body. A connecting ring 2 is installed in the center of the sleeve, and an upper end cap 3 and a thrust ring 4 are installed at each end, forming a complete sealing system. In this process, an O-ring 7 is cleverly installed on the side of the upper end cap 3 and thrust ring 4 near the sleeve 1, effectively preventing lubricant leakage and the intrusion of external impurities and moisture, providing a strong guarantee for the efficient and stable operation of the shaft transmission.
[0035] Secondly, the split design of the coupling snap ring 2 and thrust snap ring 4 facilitates installation and removal, while also allowing the snap rings' tightness and position to be adjusted as needed. This design not only enhances the coupling's adaptability and flexibility, but also ensures a tight fit between the annular groove 21 on the inner center of the coupling snap ring 2 and the cam on the end of the mating shaft, thereby enhancing the coupling's stability and reliability during torque transmission.
[0036] Furthermore, both the upper end cap 3 and the thrust retaining ring 4 are securely fastened to the end of the sleeve 1 via hexagon socket head cap screws 5. This securing method not only ensures the stability and reliability of the upper end cap and thrust retaining ring during operation of the coupling, but also facilitates installation and removal, improving maintenance efficiency. Furthermore, a spring washer 6 is mounted on the inner side of the end of the hexagon socket head cap screw 5, effectively preventing the screw from loosening due to vibration or external forces, further enhancing the tightness of the connection.
[0037] During operation, the inner wall of the sleeve 1 is connected to the shaft to be connected via a flat key. This connection method is simple and reliable, and can effectively transmit torque. At the same time, the lifting slot 8 provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 1 makes the coupling more convenient and safer during lifting and transportation.
[0038] To sum up, the sealed sleeve coupling provided by the utility model achieves a comprehensive improvement in the sealing performance, connection stability and ease of use of the coupling through a carefully designed structural combination and innovative working principle, meets the high requirements of the coupling in specific application scenarios, and provides a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the mechanical transmission system.
