Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a coupling technology, in particular to a coupling with a locking structure. Background Art

[0002] A coupling is a device that connects two shafts, or a shaft and a rotating part, allowing them to rotate together during motion and power transmission and remain in place under normal circumstances. It is also sometimes used as a safety device to protect the connected parts from excessive loads, providing overload protection. Existing couplings typically connect to the main shaft using a key, which transmits torque within a keyway. This connection offers a simple structure and low cost.

[0003] However, the key connection can only limit the radial rotation between the main shaft and the coupling, and cannot prevent the axial movement between the main shaft and the coupling. Therefore, it is generally necessary to add a positioning screw to lock it; that is, the front end of the positioning screw will directly contact the shaft or key, scratching the shaft or key, making it difficult to disassemble.

[0006] Preferably, both ends of the two coupling bodies are provided with annular protrusions, and the protrusions are evenly provided with bolt holes, and the bolt holes are penetrated by coupling bolts, and the coupling bolts are threaded with nuts, and the coupling bolts and nuts cooperate to fix the two coupling bodies.

[0007] Preferably, a plurality of locking members are provided at the bottom end of the shaft hole.

[0019] Example 1:

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a coupling with a locking structure includes two coupling bodies 2, which are respectively sleeved on the ends of two main shafts 1, and the coupling body 2 is provided with an axial hole on one end facing the main shaft 1, and the axial hole is provided with a keyway 5. The outer wall of the main shaft 1 is provided with a flat key 6, and the flat key 6 slides in the keyway 5. The main shaft 1 is sleeved with a tightening sleeve 7, and the tightening sleeve 7 is evenly provided with tightening bolts 9. The coupling body 2 is evenly provided with threaded holes 10, and the tightening bolts 9 pass through the tightening sleeve 7 and are threadedly fitted with the threaded holes 10. The tightening sleeve 7 is provided with a tightening block 8 on the side facing the flat key 6, and the tightening block 8 slides in the keyway 5 and tightens the flat key 6.

[0021] The coupling with a locking structure in this embodiment adopts a tightening sleeve 7 and a tightening bolt 9, and tightens the flat key 6 through a tightening block 8, which can effectively lock the main shaft 1 and the coupling, prevent axial movement between the main shaft 1 and the coupling, and is easy to disassemble.

[0022] The ends of the two coupling bodies 2 are both provided with annular protrusions, and the protrusions are evenly provided with bolt holes 3. The bolt holes 3 are penetrated by coupling bolts, and the coupling bolts are threaded with nuts. The coupling bolts and nuts cooperate to fix the two coupling bodies 2.

[0023] The bottom end of the shaft hole is provided with a plurality of locking members 4, wherein the locking members 4 can be multiple, and are mainly used to support the main shaft 1 so that the tightening block 8 can support the flat key 6, to prevent the main shaft 1 from being inserted too deeply into the shaft hole and the tightening block 8 from being insufficiently long to support the flat key 6.

[0024] There are two keyways 5, flat keys 6 and tightening blocks 8. The two keyways 5, flat keys 6 and tightening blocks 8 can not only balance the force, avoid tilting of the tightening sleeve 7, and prevent damage to the tightening bolts 9, so as to facilitate subsequent disassembly, but also balance the weight on both sides of the main shaft 1, which is beneficial to maintaining the stability of the main shaft 1 during rotation.
