[0024] For the purpose of simplicity and illustration, the principles of the embodiments are described primarily with reference to examples. In the following description, many specific details are provided to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that these embodiments may not be limited to these specific details in practice. In some instances, well-known methods and structures are not described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the understanding of these embodiments. In addition, all embodiments may be used in combination with each other.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 2The utility model provides a technical solution: a tensioning plum blossom coupling, comprising: a coupling cylinder 1, one end of each coupling cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 4, the connecting block 4 is used to connect two couplings, one side of each connecting block 4 is fixedly connected to a plurality of connecting columns 5, the connecting columns 5 are used to transmit kinetic energy between couplings, the other end of the coupling cylinder 1 is installed with a tensioning block 2, the tensioning block 2 plays a fixing role, one end of the tensioning block 2 is provided with a plurality of first screws 3, the plurality of first screws 3 are used to install and fix the tensioning block 2 and tighten it, and a tensioning block 2 is provided between the two connecting blocks 4. There is a plum blossom block 6, which plays a supporting role so that the two couplings will not collide with each other. A plurality of uniform plum blossom protrusions 7 are arranged around the plum blossom block 6. The plum blossom protrusions 7 are used to allow the connecting column 5 to be inserted between adjacent plum blossom protrusions 7. Symmetrical arc grooves 8 are opened on both sides of each plum blossom protrusion 7. Two raised hemispheres 16 are arranged between every two connecting columns 5. The arc grooves 8 and the raised hemispheres 16 are adapted to each other, and the raised hemispheres 16 can coincide with the arc grooves 8, so as to avoid the plum blossom block 6 breaking and flying out due to excessive force on the connecting shaft.

[0027] In actual use, the two connecting shafts need to be connected together through the plum blossom block 6. It is the presence of the plum blossom block 6 that reduces the friction between the two couplings and reduces the loss between the couplings. The arc-shaped groove 8 and the raised hemisphere 16 effectively fix the plum blossom block 6, so that the plum blossom block 6 moves as little as possible between the two couplings, so that its friction loss can be reduced.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] See also Figure 3 - Figure 5 On the basis of embodiment 1, a cylindrical groove 11 is provided at one end of the coupling cylinder 1. The cylindrical groove 11 is used to connect the rotating shaft. The cylindrical groove 11 is arranged on the central axis of the coupling cylinder 1. The sample shaft 9 can be inserted into the cylindrical groove 11. An annular groove 10 is provided at one end of the coupling cylinder 1. The annular groove 10 is used for tensioning. The centers of the cylindrical groove 11 and the annular groove 10 are the same. The annular groove 10 wraps the cylindrical groove 11. The annular groove 10 and the cylindrical groove 11 have the same insertion depth. A deformable plate 15 is provided between the annular groove 10 and the cylindrical groove 11. The deformation of this deformable plate The degree of deformation is small, and only slight changes can occur. An expansion gap 12 is provided between every two adjacent deformation plates 15. The expansion gap 12 is used for tightening. A plurality of screw grooves 13 are evenly provided at one end of the annular groove. Each screw groove 13 is provided with a thread. The first screw 3 passes through the tightening block 2 and extends into the screw groove 13 to be threadedly connected thereto. The first screw 3 is set longer. When tightening is required, the first screw 3 needs to be rotated to tighten it. One end of the tightening block 2 extends into the annular groove 10 and is slidably connected thereto. The tightness of the first screw 3 depends on the degree of tightening.

[0030] When tightening is required, first loosen the first screw 3, then place the sample shaft 9 into it, then fix the sample shaft 9 with the second screw 18, and finally turn the first screw 3. When turning the first screw 3, it cannot be turned to the bottom at once, but needs to be turned one by one step by step. The length of each rotation cannot be too long to ensure that the pressure caused by each screw is almost the same. During the rotation of the screw, the tensioning block 2 will slowly extend into the annular groove 10. Since one end of the tensioning block 2 is thicker, it will cause the deformation plate 15 to shrink in the box, so that multiple expansion gaps 12 are reduced in sequence, effectively squeezing and fixing the sample shaft 9.

[0031] Example 3

[0032] See also Figure 4-Figure 6 On the basis of the second embodiment, a center groove 17 is provided in the center of each connecting block 4, and the center groove 17 is used to place a second screw 18 to prevent it from affecting the connection of the two couplings. A first through hole 14 is provided at one end of each center groove 17, and the first through hole 14 passes through one end of the center groove 17. The cylindrical groove 11 and the center groove 17 are connected through the first through hole 14. A second screw 18 is provided in the first through hole 14, and a sample shaft 9 is provided in one of the cylindrical grooves 11. The sample shaft 9 is only an axis used during experiments and production, and is not a real axis. Compared with the real axis, it has the same thickness and end structure. A connecting groove 19 is provided at one end of the sample shaft 9. The connecting groove 19 is used for fixing to prevent the position of the sample shaft 9 from changing before expansion. The second screw 18 passes through the first through hole 14 and extends into the connecting groove 19 to be threadedly connected with it, so that the sample shaft 9 can be firmly fixed.

[0033] In actual use, the two connecting shafts need to be connected together through the plum blossom block 6. It is the presence of the plum blossom block 6 that reduces the friction between the two couplings and the loss between the couplings. The arc groove 8 and the raised hemisphere 16 effectively fix the plum blossom block 6, so that the plum blossom block 6 moves as little as possible between the two couplings, so that its friction loss can be reduced. When tightening is required, first loosen the first screw 3, then place the sample shaft 9 into it, and then fix the sample shaft 9 through the second screw 18, and finally turn the first screw 3. When turning the first screw 3, it cannot be turned to the bottom at once, and it needs to be turned one by one step by step. The length of each rotation cannot be too long to ensure that the pressure caused by each screw is almost the same. During the rotation of the screw, the tensioning block 2 will slowly extend into the annular groove 10. Since one end of the tensioning block 2 is thicker, the deformation plate 15 will shrink in the box, so that the multiple expansion gaps 12 will be reduced in turn, effectively squeezing and fixing the sample shaft 9.

[0034] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
