The fixing bolt 7 passes through the end of the fixing plate 1 and is threadedly connected to a fixing nut 8. A special indentation is provided on the side of the fixing nut 8, so that the fixing nut 8 is deformed when subjected to axial load, thereby increasing the friction between the threads to achieve the purpose of preventing loosening.
[0025] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4As shown, the tensioning mechanism 2 includes a fixed seat 201, which is rotatably connected to the fixing bolt 7. The side of the fixed seat 201 is fixedly connected to the cylinder rod 202, and the other end of the cylinder rod 202 is fixedly connected to the piston 207. The arc-shaped outer side of the piston 207 is provided with a circular ring groove, and a liquid-proof sealing ring 209 is provided in the circular ring groove. The liquid-proof sealing ring 209 is a YX-type sealing ring for holes and is made of NBR nitrile rubber. The outer side of the piston 207 is slidably connected to the cylinder body 203, and the inner side of the end of the cylinder body 203 is provided with a circular ring groove. A dustproof sealing ring 208 is provided in the circular ring groove. The dustproof sealing ring 208 is an O-ring made of silicone rubber. The inside of the cylinder body 203 is fixedly connected to a partition 211, and the partition 211 is fixed to the piston 207. It is connected to a return spring 210, and four limit columns 213 are fixedly connected to the side of the partition 211, and the other ends of the four limit columns 213 are fixedly connected to the limit plate 214. A circular hole is opened on the side of the partition 211 close to the limit plate 214, and a sealing ball 212 is slidably connected in the circular hole. A limit spring 215 is fixedly connected between the sealing ball 212 and the limit plate 214, and two connecting plates 205 are fixedly connected to the outside of the cylinder body 203.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the one-way valve 9 includes a valve body 902, which is fixedly connected to the fluid replenishing cylinder 206. The valve body 902 passes through the fluid replenishing cylinder 206 and is fixedly connected to a filter cover 901 at the end extending to the outside of the fluid replenishing cylinder 206. The filter cover 901 is made of copper and has multiple filter holes on its surface. A square through hole is provided inside the valve body 902, and two valves 903 are rotatably connected to the square through hole via a rotating shaft. A blocking block 904 is fixedly connected to the side of the valve 903, and a blocking spring 905 is fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two blocking blocks 904.
[0027] like Figure 6As shown, the inclined wheel mechanism 3 includes a positioning bolt 301, which is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 1. The positioning bolt 301 is an external hexagonal bolt. The outer side of the positioning bolt 301 is slidably connected to the upper inclined wheel 304 and the lower inclined wheel 305. The upper inclined wheel 304 and the lower inclined wheel 305 are frustum bodies, and the upper bottom surfaces are relatively arranged. The upper inclined wheel 304 and the lower inclined wheel 305 have an annular groove on the opposite side. A tension spring 308 is fixedly connected in the annular groove and located between the upper inclined wheel 304 and the lower inclined wheel 305. The outer side of the positioning bolt 301 is also slidably connected to the pressure plate 302. The positioning bolt 3 01 and is located on the outside of the pressure plate 302 and the upper inclined wheel 304. A compression spring 303 is sleeved. The positioning bolt 301 passes through the end of the fixed plate 1 and is connected to a lock nut 307 by a thread. A nylon ring is embedded in the lock nut 307.

The side of the lock washer 306 is provided with a beveled tooth surface, and the friction between the beveled tooth surface and the plane is used to prevent the fastener from loosening.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, one end of the fixing plate 1 is fixedly connected to a fixing column 5, and two reinforcing ribs 4 are fixedly connected between the side of the fixing column 5 and the fixing plate 1. By providing the reinforcing ribs 4, the bending resistance of the fixing plate 1 and the firmness of the fixing column 5 are increased, thereby extending the service life of the tensioner. The lower end of the fixing plate 1 is fixedly connected to a spare column 6, which serves as a spare fixing point of the fixing plate 1 to adapt to different vehicle models. Example
[0029] Working principle: First install the tensioner on the engine. In the first step, use the bolt to pass through the fixing column 5 to fix it to the engine. In the second step, use the fixing bolt 7 to pass through the fixing plate 1 and one end of the tensioning mechanism 2, and tighten the fixing nut 8. Synchronously use the fixing bolt 7 to fix the other end of the tensioning mechanism 2 to the engine. In the third step, put the pressure plate 302, the compression spring 303, the upper inclined wheel 304, and the lower inclined wheel 305 in sequence on the outside of the positioning bolt 301, then pass the other end of the positioning bolt 301 through the fixing plate 1, put the anti-loosening washer on the outside of the other end of the positioning bolt 301 and tighten the anti-loosening nut 307. When the tensioner is installed, the tensioner 2 pushes the fixed plate 1 to twist to one side, and the fixed plate 1 pushes the bevel wheel mechanism 3 to contact the belt of the automobile transmission system, thereby adjusting the tightness of the automobile transmission system belt. When the size of the automobile transmission system belt changes, the bevel wheel mechanism 3 is adjusted to adapt to automobile transmission system belts of different sizes. When the tensioner reaches a certain service life, the upper bevel wheel 304 and the lower bevel wheel 305 need to be replaced. Use a wrench to remove the lock nut 307 and pull out the positioning bolt 301. At this time, the upper bevel wheel 304 and the lower bevel wheel 305 can be replaced.
[0030] When the fixing plate 1 is twisted to one side by the tensioning mechanism 2, the return spring 210 releases the pressure to push the piston 207 to slide out of the cylinder 203. The piston 207 slides out of the cylinder 203 to form a negative pressure space between the piston 207 and the partition 211. When the pressure between the piston 207 and the partition 211 is reduced, the sealing ball 212 slides toward the limit plate 214. The sealing ball 212 slides toward the limit plate 214 to compress the limit spring 215. The hydraulic oil flows from between the cylinder 203 and the partition 211 to between the partition 211 and the piston 207. After the pressure in the cylinder 203 is balanced, the limit spring 215 releases the pressure to push the sealing ball 212 to slide toward the partition 211. The sealing ball 212 slides toward the limit plate 214. The partition 211 slides to close the circular hole on the partition 211, and the hydraulic oil between the cylinder body 203 and the partition 211 is reduced. The hydraulic oil in the fluid replenishing cylinder 206 flows into the space between the cylinder body 203 and the partition 211 through the connecting pipe 216. The one-way valve 9 filters the external air and sucks it into the fluid replenishing cylinder 206 to balance the internal pressure of the fluid replenishing cylinder 206. The piston 207 slides outward from the cylinder body 203 and pushes the cylinder rod 202 to slide to one side. At this time, the fixed plate 1 twists to one side, and the twisting of the fixed plate 1 pushes the inclined wheel mechanism 3 to contact the automobile transmission system belt. According to the principle of liquid incompressibility, the tensioning mechanism 2 provides stable support for the fixed plate 1, thereby ensuring the tightness of the belt in the automobile transmission system.
[0031] When the one-way valve 9 filters the external air and sucks it into the fluid replenishing cylinder 206, the pressure in the fluid replenishing cylinder 206 drops to less than the external air pressure, and the filter cover 901 filters the external air. The filtered air pushes the two valves 903 to rotate toward each other with the rotating shaft as the center. The two valves 903 rotate toward each other with the rotating shaft as the center, driving the two blocking blocks 904 to move toward each other. The two blocking blocks 904 move toward each other to block the spring 905. At this time, the filtered air enters the fluid replenishing cylinder 206 to balance the internal pressure of the fluid replenishing cylinder 206. When the internal pressure of the fluid replenishing cylinder 206 is balanced with the external pressure, the blocking spring 905 releases the pressure and pushes the two blocking blocks 904 to move in the opposite direction. The two blocking blocks 904 move in the opposite direction and push the two valves 903 to rotate in the opposite direction with the rotating shaft as the center. The two valves 903 rotate in the opposite direction with the rotating shaft as the center to close the fluid replenishing cylinder 206. At this time, the fluid replenishing cylinder 206 is isolated from the outside air, ensuring that a closed space is formed in the fluid replenishing cylinder 206.
[0032] When the size of the belt of the automobile transmission system changes, the bevel wheel mechanism 3 is adjusted to adapt to automobile transmission system belts of different sizes, and the upper bevel wheel 304 is slid outward. The upper bevel wheel 304 slides outward to squeeze the compression spring 303, and the belt is clamped between the upper bevel wheel 304 and the lower bevel wheel 305. The belt pushes the upper bevel wheel 304 and the lower bevel wheel 305 to move in opposite directions. The upper bevel wheel 304 and the lower bevel wheel 305 move in opposite directions to stretch the tension spring 308. At this time, the distance between the upper bevel wheel 304 and the lower bevel wheel 305 becomes wider, so that timing belts of different sizes can be used.
