Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a coupling, in particular to a diaphragm coupling and a half coupling and an intermediate thereof. Background Art

[0002] Existing diaphragm couplings, such as the one disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN218542987U, comprise two symmetrically arranged half-couplings, with an intermediate body positioned between them and a diaphragm positioned between the half-couplings and the intermediate body. One half of the coupling has an axial hole for connecting to the input shaft, while the other half has an axial hole for connecting to the output shaft. In this type of diaphragm coupling, the intermediate body is directly connected to the diaphragm. Due to the inherent elastic distortion of the diaphragm, maintaining coaxiality between the intermediate body and the half-couplings during assembly is difficult. Consequently, the coaxiality accuracy of the two half-couplings in the assembled diaphragm coupling is also poor, and the assembled diaphragm coupling often exhibits large runout. Furthermore, because the intermediate body, diaphragm, and half-couplings in existing diaphragm couplings are directly connected to form a single unit via bolt assemblies, adjusting the coaxiality of the diaphragm coupling after assembly is difficult.

The terms used herein in the specification of this invention are intended only to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0036] See Figure 1 A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a diaphragm coupling 100 comprising an intermediate body 10 and two coupling halves 30 symmetrically disposed at opposite ends of the intermediate body 10. The two coupling halves 30 are each used to connect two shafts to be connected (not shown). The intermediate body 10 is used to compensate for the gap between the two shafts to be connected and to transmit torque, thereby enabling the two shafts to rotate synchronously.

[0037] Please also see Figures 3 to 5, both ends of the intermediate body 10 are recessed with positioning openings 11. In this embodiment, the intermediate body 10 includes a carbon fiber tube 12 and two connecting flanges 13 respectively fixed to the two ends of the carbon fiber tube 12. The connecting flanges 13 are made of metal. The connecting flanges 13 are coaxially arranged with the carbon fiber tube 12. The center of the end surface of the connecting flange 13 facing away from the carbon fiber tube 12 is recessed with the positioning opening 11. Specifically, the connecting flange 13 includes a flange 131 and a mounting shaft 134 formed by a protrusion at the middle position of one end of the flange 131. The outer diameter of the flange 131 is larger than the outer diameter of the carbon fiber tube 12. The end surface of the flange 131 facing away from the carbon fiber tube 12 is recessed to form the positioning opening 11. In this embodiment, the positioning opening 11 is a stopper formed by a groove bottom wall 112 and a groove peripheral wall 113 extending around the outer periphery of the groove bottom wall 112. The groove peripheral wall 113 is coaxial with the outer periphery of the flange 131 and perpendicular to the end surface of the flange 131 facing away from the carbon fiber tube 12. In this embodiment, the flange 131 is also provided with a plurality of fixing holes 132, spaced apart along the circumference of the flange 131. The fixing holes 132 are used to connect to the coupling half 30.

[0038] The mounting shaft 134 is fixedly inserted into one end of the carbon fiber tube 12. In addition, to ensure a secure connection between the mounting shaft 134 and the carbon fiber tube 12, the mounting shaft 134 and the carbon fiber tube 12 can be connected by rivets (not shown). A plurality of rivets are provided and evenly spaced along the circumference of the carbon fiber tube 12.

[0039] A central hole 135 is provided in the center of the connecting flange 13. This hole 135 extends axially along the carbon fiber tube 12, extending through the flange 131 and the mounting shaft 134. This allows the positioning opening 11 to surround the outer edge of the central hole 135. A mounting flange 136 protrudes from the central hole 135. This flange 136 is positioned within the mounting shaft 134 and surrounds the central axis of the central hole 135. This flange 136 is used to mount a retaining plate (not shown). This retaining plate seals the ends of the carbon fiber tube 12.

[0040] During the manufacture of the intermediate body 10 of a conventional carbon fiber coupling, its two connecting flanges 13 are typically processed separately and then directly assembled with the carbon fiber tube 12. This separate processing of the two connecting flanges 13 results in insufficient coaxiality of the two flanges 13, which in turn leads to poor coaxiality and dynamic balancing accuracy of the assembled intermediate body 10, which in turn affects the coaxiality and dynamic balancing performance of the coupling using this intermediate body 10.

[0041] In this embodiment, after the intermediate body 10 is assembled, the connecting flanges 13 at both ends of the carbon fiber tube 12 are also fine-machined to improve the machining accuracy of the intermediate body 10, thereby further improving the coaxiality accuracy and dynamic balance performance of the coupling using the intermediate body 10. Specifically, the machining method of the intermediate body 10 includes the following steps:

[0042] S1, providing an intermediate body 10, wherein the intermediate body 10 includes a carbon fiber tube 12 and connecting flanges 13 respectively fixed at both ends of the carbon fiber tube 12;

[0043] S2, clamping the intermediate 10 on the machine tool;

[0044] S3, using a machine tool to fine-machine the two connecting flanges 13 so that the two connecting flanges 13 are coaxial. In this embodiment, step S3 specifically includes the following steps:

[0045] S31, using a machine tool to fine-machine the outer circumferences of the two connecting flanges 13 so that the outer circumferences of the two connecting flanges 13 are coaxial;

[0046] S32, taking the outer peripheral surface of the finely machined connecting flange 13 as a reference, use the tool of the machine tool to fine-machine the groove circumferential wall 113 of the positioning opening 11 on the two connecting flanges 13, so that the groove circumferential wall 113 of the positioning opening 11 is coaxial with the outer peripheral surface of the connecting flange 13; and process the end surface of the flange plate 131 facing away from the carbon fiber tube 12, so that the end surface of the flange plate 131 facing away from the mounting axis 134 is perpendicular to the groove circumferential wall 113 of the positioning opening 11.

[0047] The processing method of the above-mentioned intermediate body 10 further performs fine processing on the connecting flanges 13 at both ends of the carbon fiber tube 12 after the connecting flanges 13 and the carbon fiber tube 12 are assembled into the intermediate body 10. In addition, the fine processing of the connecting flanges 13 at both ends of the carbon fiber tube 12 is performed simultaneously, without the need for multiple clamping in batches, thereby improving the coaxiality and dynamic balancing accuracy of the intermediate body 10, and thus the coaxiality and dynamic balancing accuracy of the coupling using the intermediate body 10 can also be improved accordingly.

[0048] Please also see Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 Each half of the coupling 30 includes a coupling 31, a sleeve end flange 32, and a diaphragm 33 disposed between the coupling 31 and the sleeve end flange 32. The coupling 31 is provided with an axial hole 310. The sleeve end flange 32 includes a disc 321 and a positioning boss 232 protruding from the center of the end surface of the disc 321 facing away from the coupling 31. The disc 321 is connected to the connecting flange 13 of the intermediate body 10 via a connecting assembly 34. The positioning boss 232 is inserted into the positioning opening 11 at the corresponding end.

[0049] Please also see Figures 8 to 10 In this embodiment, the coupling 31 includes a clamping plate 311 and a locking flange 313. The clamping plate 311 is connected to the diaphragm 33 via a first connecting bolt assembly 35. The axial hole 310 is defined in the center of the clamping plate 311. Specifically, the clamping plate 311 includes a connecting sleeve 3112 and a connecting flange 3113 projecting from the outer periphery of one end of the connecting sleeve 3112. The connecting sleeve 3112 surrounds the axial hole 310, and the outer periphery of the connecting sleeve 3112 gradually slopes inward from the direction away from the connecting flange 3113. The connecting flange 3113 is connected to the diaphragm 33 through the first connecting bolt group 35. Specifically, a plurality of first connecting screw holes 3114 are provided on the connecting flange 3113 at intervals along the circumferential direction, and a plurality of first through holes 332 are provided on the diaphragm 33 corresponding to the plurality of first connecting screw holes 3114; the first connecting bolt group 35 includes a plurality of first connecting bolts 351, and the plurality of first connecting bolts 351 are respectively passed through the plurality of first through holes 332 and then threadedly connected with the corresponding first connecting screw holes 3114.

[0050] The locking flange sleeve 313 is mounted on the clamping plate 311 and connected to the clamping plate 311 via a locking bolt assembly 36. A locking hole 3131 is centrally located within the locking flange sleeve 313. The locking flange sleeve 313 is mounted on the connecting sleeve 3112 of the clamping plate 311 through the locking hole 3131. In this embodiment, the locking flange sleeve 313 includes a locking sleeve 3132 and a locking flange 3133 protruding from the outer periphery of the locking sleeve 3132 near one end of the diaphragm 33. The locking sleeve 3132 surrounds the locking hole 3131. The peripheral wall of the locking hole 3131 gradually slopes inward from a direction away from the connecting flange 3113. The inclination of the peripheral wall of the locking hole 3131 is the same as the inclination of the outer periphery of the connecting sleeve 3112. The locking flange 3133 of the locking flange 313 is provided with a plurality of locking through-holes 3134 spaced circumferentially. The connecting flange 3113 of the clamping plate 311 is provided with a plurality of locking screw holes 3115 corresponding to the locking through-holes 3134. The locking bolt assembly 36 includes a plurality of locking bolts 361. These bolts 361 pass through the locking through-holes 3134 on one side of the locking flange 313 and then threadably engage with the corresponding locking screw holes 3115.

[0051] When the shaft body needs to be installed in the shaft hole 310 of the coupling 31, first, the free end of the shaft body to be installed is inserted into the shaft hole 310 of the connecting sleeve 3112, and the locking bolt 361 of the locking bolt assembly 36 is tightened to move the locking flange sleeve 313 along the inclined outer circumference of the connecting sleeve 3112 toward the intermediate body 10. During this process, the inclined outer circumference of the connecting sleeve 3112 cooperates with the inclined hole circumference of the locking flange sleeve 313, causing the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 3112 to elastically deform, tightening the shaft body, thereby installing the shaft body on the coupling 31. When the shaft body needs to be removed from the diaphragm coupling 100, the locking bolt 361 of the locking bolt assembly 36 is tightened to move the locking flange sleeve 313 along the inclined outer circumference of the connecting sleeve 3112 away from the intermediate body 10, thereby releasing the shaft body from the connecting sleeve 3112.

[0052] In this embodiment, the sleeve end flange 32 is arranged on the side of the diaphragm 33 facing away from the coupling 31, and the sleeve end flange 32 is connected to the diaphragm 33 through a second connecting bolt group 37. Specifically, a plurality of second connecting screw holes 3211 are provided on the disk body 321 of the sleeve end flange 32 at intervals along the circumferential direction, and a plurality of second through holes 333 are provided on the diaphragm 33 corresponding to the plurality of second connecting screw holes 3211. The second through holes 333 and the first through holes 332 are alternately arranged on the diaphragm 33, that is, each second through hole 333 is located between two adjacent first through holes 332; the second connecting bolt group 37 includes a plurality of second connecting bolts 371, and the plurality of second connecting bolts 371 are respectively passed through the plurality of second through holes 333 and then threadedly connected with the corresponding second connecting screw holes 3211.

[0053] In this embodiment, wear-resistant sleeves 334 are provided at opposite ends of the first through-hole 332 and the second through-hole 333. The first and second connecting bolts 351 and 371 are passed through the corresponding wear-resistant sleeves 334. The provision of the wear-resistant sleeves 334 prevents the bolt heads of the first and second connecting bolts 351 and 371 from directly contacting the diaphragm 33 during connection, thereby reducing wear on the diaphragm 33 during installation.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the body 321 of the sleeve end flange 32 further includes a receiving hole 3212 for receiving the bolt head (not labeled) of the first connecting bolt 351. The connecting flange 3113 of the clamping plate 311 further includes a receiving hole 3116 for receiving the bolt head (not labeled) of the second connecting bolt 371. During assembly, the bolt head of the first connecting bolt 351 is received in the corresponding receiving hole 3212 on the sleeve end flange 32, and the bolt head of the second connecting bolt 371 is received in the corresponding receiving hole 3116 on the clamping plate 311. This makes the structure of the coupling half 30 more compact, thereby reducing the overall volume of the coupling half 30.

[0055] The disc body 321 of the sleeve end flange 32 has a first end face 3213, a second end face 3214, and an outer peripheral wall 3215, which are arranged opposite each other. The second end face 3214 is closer to the diaphragm 33 than the first end face 3213, and the outer peripheral wall 3215 connects the outer peripheries of the first and second end faces 3213 and 3214. A positioning boss 323 is protruding from the first end face 3213. In this embodiment, the positioning boss 323 has a clearance fit with the positioning opening 11. Specifically, the assembly clearance between the outer peripheral surface of the positioning boss 323 and the groove peripheral wall 113 of the positioning opening 11 is 0.03-0.05 mm. A center hole 324 is provided in the center of the sleeve end flange 32. The center hole 324 passes through the disc body 321 and the positioning boss 323 along the axial direction of the sleeve end flange 32. The inner circumferential wall of the center hole 324 is coaxially arranged with the outer circumferential surface of the positioning boss 323, and the inner circumferential wall of the center hole 324 is perpendicular to the first end face 3213.

[0056] In this embodiment, the connecting assembly 34 includes a plurality of fixing bolts 341, and the disk body 321 of the sleeve end flange 32 is provided with a plurality of fixing screw holes 3216 corresponding to the plurality of fixing bolts 341, and the plurality of fixing screw holes 3216 are evenly arranged around the positioning boss 323; the plurality of fixing bolts 341 respectively pass through the corresponding fixing holes 132 on the flange disk 131 and are threadedly connected to the corresponding fixing screw holes 3216, thereby detachably connecting the sleeve end flange 32 and the connecting flange 13 at the corresponding end of the intermediate body 10.

[0057] The diaphragm 33 of this embodiment can be made of stainless steel metal diaphragm of existing technology, which is elastic. When the unit has axial, radial and angular deviations, the diaphragm 33 produces wavy deformation, thereby compensating for the angular deviation, axial deviation and radial deviation that occur during the connection between the shafts.

[0058] When assembling the diaphragm coupling 100, first, the clamping plate 311, the diaphragm 33 and the sleeve end flange 32 of the half coupling 30 are connected together so that the inner peripheral wall of the axial hole 310 of the clamping plate 311 and the inner peripheral wall of the middle hole 135 of the sleeve end flange 32 are coaxial; then, the outer peripheral surface of the flange plate 131 of the connecting flange 13 of the intermediate body 10 is used as the positioning reference so that the outer peripheral wall 3215 of the sleeve end flange 32 and the outer peripheral surface of the flange plate 131 are coaxial, and the positioning boss 323 of the sleeve end flange 32 is inserted into the positioning port 13 of the corresponding end connecting flange 13, and connected to the connecting flange 13 through the connecting component 34. Since the shaft hole 310 is coaxial with the center hole 324 of the sleeve end flange 32, the intermediate body 10 is coaxial with the center hole 324 by positioning the positioning boss 323 and the positioning port 11, so that the shaft holes 310 at both ends of the diaphragm coupling 100 can be coaxial, thereby improving the coaxiality accuracy of the shaft holes 310 at both ends of the diaphragm coupling 100 after assembly.

[0059] However, during the actual assembly process, due to assembly errors or other factors, the coaxiality accuracy of the assembled diaphragm coupling 100 may be reduced. In this embodiment, after the diaphragm coupling 100 is assembled, the diaphragm coupling 100 is also tested for runout. During the runout test, a dial indicator is installed on the inner wall of the shaft hole 310 with the outer surface of the connecting flange 13 as a reference and the runout value is measured. If the diaphragm coupling 100 is found to be deflected to one side, the clearance between the outer surface of the positioning boss 323 and the groove wall 113 of the positioning opening 13 can be adjusted by tapping the shaft sleeve end flange 32 so that the diaphragm coupling 100 no longer deflects, thereby making the shaft holes 310 at both ends of the intermediate body 10 coaxial.

[0060] In the above-mentioned diaphragm coupling 100, the half coupling 30 is additionally provided with a sleeve end flange 323 with a positioning boss 323 on the side of the diaphragm 33 close to the intermediate body 10, and the end of the intermediate body 10 is correspondingly provided with a positioning port 11 that cooperates with the positioning boss 323. Through the positioning cooperation between the positioning boss 323 and the positioning port 11, the coaxiality accuracy of the shaft hole 310 at both ends of the diaphragm coupling 100 after assembly can be improved.

[0061] In the above-mentioned diaphragm coupling 100, since the intermediate body 10 is not directly connected to the diaphragm 33, and the positioning boss 323 is clearance-matched with the positioning port 11, after the diaphragm coupling 100 is assembled, if the runout value is large due to reasons such as assembly accuracy, the clearance between the positioning boss 323 and the positioning port 11 can be adjusted by tapping the sleeve end flange 32 to adjust the coaxiality of the diaphragm coupling 100 so that the runout value of the diaphragm coupling 100 meets the standard.

[0062] The above embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art will be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention. These modifications and improvements are equivalent to those made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of the present invention and fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
