AI Technical Summary
The existing guide shaft locking method relies on bolt deformation, has limited locking force, and has no positioning structure, which may cause the guide shaft to rotate and affect equipment operation.
A combined structure of shaft support and support cover is adopted. A limiting protrusion is provided inside the support cover to match the limiting opening on the surface of the guide shaft. It is fixed by bolt connection to form radial support and limit the rotation of the guide shaft.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical parts, and more specifically, to a locking structure of a guide shaft. Background Art
[0002] At present, guide shafts are widely used in mechanical equipment, usually used in conjunction with shaft supports. They are installed by locking the shaft supports to play a certain load-bearing role.
[0003] Authorization publication number "CN215058967U" discloses a guide shaft support comprising a base and a snap-fit portion extending from the base, with a notch formed on the side of the base away from the snap-fit portion. The notch formed at the bottom of the guide shaft support reduces the contact area of the base, thereby lowering the parallelism requirements for components mating with the base. Furthermore, when the base is mated with other parts, the area where the notch is located does not need to be mated and is therefore unaffected by the overall flatness of the other parts. This notch facilitates the securement of the guide shaft support and reduces the risk of loosening.
[0004] In the above patent, the shaft support is deformed by tightening the bolts to clamp the guide shaft. The locking force of this locking method (the axial bearing capacity of the guide shaft) is limited and is affected by the degree of deformation of the support and the tightening torque of the bolts. Moreover, since the guide shaft is usually a smooth shaft, the shaft hole of the shaft support is a smooth hole without a positioning structure. If the torque is large, the guide shaft may rotate, affecting the operation of the equipment. Utility Model Content
[0005] 1. Technical problems to be solved
[0006] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a locking structure for a guide shaft, aiming to solve the problem in the prior art that the shaft support is deformed by tightening the bolts to clamp the guide shaft. The locking force of this locking method (the axial bearing capacity of the guide shaft) is limited and is affected by the degree of deformation of the support and the tightening torque of the bolts. Moreover, since the guide shaft is usually a smooth shaft and the shaft hole of the shaft support is a smooth hole without a positioning structure, if the torque is large, the guide shaft may rotate, affecting the operation of the equipment.
[0007] 2. Technical solution
[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0009] A locking structure for a guide shaft comprises a shaft support, a support cover and a guide shaft, wherein the support cover is detachably connected to the shaft support, and the guide shaft is detachably connected to the shaft support and the support cover, a limiting opening is provided on the circumferential surface of the guide shaft, a limiting protrusion is fixedly connected in the support cover, and the limiting protrusion matches the limiting opening.
[0010] As a preferred solution of the present invention, two bolts are threadedly connected between the shaft support and the support cover, and the two bolts are symmetrically distributed.
[0011] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the bottom ends of the shaft support and the support cover are fixedly connected with a flange, and a plurality of connection holes are opened on the flange.
[0012] As a preferred solution of the present invention, an axial hole is provided between the axial support and the support cover, and the guide shaft is located in the axial hole.
[0013] 3. Beneficial effects
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:
[0015] (1) In this solution, the shaft support and the support cover cooperate to form a shaft hole, which serves as a radial support. The axial bearing capacity of the guide shaft is not affected by the deformation of the bolts and the support, and the locking force is multiplied.
[0016] (2) In this solution, the limiting protrusion in the support cover matches the limiting opening on the surface of the guide shaft, which plays a positioning role. The plane of the limiting protrusion contacts the plane of the limiting opening, which limits the rotation of the guide shaft and can withstand a large torque. After the shaft support and the support cover are assembled and locked, the guide shaft cannot be pulled out of the shaft support.
[0017] (3) In this solution, the shaft support and the support cover are assembled to lock and fix the guide shaft, and the limiting protrusion in the support cover is inserted into the limiting opening on the surface of the guide shaft, thereby limiting the guide shaft. The locking structure can bear vertical loads and horizontal loads, and can withstand axial forces and radial forces. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
