[0031] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.
[0032] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiment disclosed herein is a reducer base device with a buffer, such as Figure 1As shown, the device includes a base plate 10. The base plate 10 is L-shaped and consists of a horizontal base plate fixedly connected to a vertical base plate. The horizontal base plate is perpendicular to the vertical base plate. The vertical base plate is uniformly distributed with a plurality of first bolt holes for engaging first bolts with the frame to secure the entire device to the frame. In this embodiment, the frame is also provided with four first bolt holes. It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of first bolt holes may be six, eight, or even more to enhance the connection strength between the vertical base plate and the frame.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, reinforcing ribs 8 and ribs 9 are provided at the connection between the horizontal bottom plate and the vertical bottom plate. The ribs 9 are arranged at the midline position of the vertical bottom plate and the horizontal bottom plate, and the reinforcing ribs 8 are arranged at the edge position of the vertical bottom plate and the horizontal bottom plate; the reinforcing ribs 8 and the ribs 9 are used to improve the overall stiffness and tensile and torsional properties of the bottom plate 10; the first support block 6 and the second support block 7 are also fixedly connected to the horizontal bottom plate, wherein the second support block 7 is fixedly connected to the ribs 9.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a second bolt hole is opened on the upper midline of the first support block 6 and the second support block 7 for passing the second bolt, and the first support block 6 and the second support block 7 are connected to the torque arm through the second bolt and the matching nut.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of third bolt holes are provided on the horizontal base plate on the side of the first support block 6 away from the second support block 7. A retaining sleeve bolt 1 is inserted into each third bolt hole. In this embodiment, there are four third bolt holes, which are connected in sequence to form a rectangle. It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of third bolt holes can be six, eight, or more.
[0036] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the base plate 10 is connected to the connecting plate 4 through a spring retaining assembly. The spring retaining assembly includes a retaining sleeve bolt 1. One end of the retaining sleeve bolt 1 is threadedly connected to the anti-loosening nut 2 and the spring retaining sleeve 3. A spring 5 is provided on the spring retaining sleeve 3. The spring 5 is a cylindrical compression spring; the spring retaining sleeve 3 is a cup-shaped body with a certain depth. A third bolt hole is provided at the center of its bottom. The retaining sleeve bolt 1 can pass through the third bolt hole. The inner diameter of the spring retaining sleeve 3 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the spring 5, so that the bottom of the spring 5 can be wrapped in the spring retaining sleeve 3; the anti-loosening nut 2 can adjust the position of the spring retaining sleeve 3 on the retaining sleeve bolt 1.
[0037] like Figure 1As shown, a connecting plate 4 is provided on the top of the spring 5. The connecting plate 4 is a square plate. A plurality of fourth bolt holes are provided on the connecting plate for passing the fourth bolts, and the connecting plate is connected to the reducer through the fourth bolts. The number of the fourth bolt holes is consistent with the number of the third bolt holes, and the position of the dots of the plurality of fourth bolt holes corresponds one to one to the position of the center of the plurality of third bolt holes of the horizontal bottom plate. At the bottom of the connecting plate 4, a corresponding number of countersunk holes are provided with the center of the fourth bolt hole as the dot.
[0038] In this embodiment, there are four fourth bolt holes, located at the four corners of the square plate. Therefore, there are also four countersunk holes, and the diameter of the countersunk holes is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the spring 5. The diameter of the countersunk holes can be consistent with the diameter of the spring retaining sleeve 3, and they have a certain depth to enclose the top of the spring 5 within the countersunk holes. The provision of the spring retaining sleeve 3 and the countersunk holes ensures that the upper and lower ends of the spring are fixed. Furthermore, because the springs are evenly distributed at the four corners of the connecting plate, they can evenly withstand impacts transmitted from the connecting plate.
[0039] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 4 is connected to the reducer through four fourth bolts, and four fourth bolt holes are also provided on the reducer housing; the fourth bolt is a hexagon socket bolt, and the head diameter of the hexagon socket bolt is smaller than the inner diameter of the spring 5 to ensure that there is no interference with the spring 5 during installation.
[0040] It is understood that in this embodiment, the locknut 2 has two functions: first, it prevents the spring retaining sleeve from loosening due to the frequent starting and stopping of the reducer; second, it allows the tightness of the spring 5 to be adjusted as needed by tightening the locknut 2. In this embodiment, the torque arm connecting the first and second support blocks is used to facilitate pressure balance among the four springs during installation of the base assembly.
[0041] It can also be understood that the first bolt hole, the second bolt hole, the third bolt hole, and the fourth bolt hole are all provided with internal threads, the first bolt hole is used to match the first bolt, the second bolt hole is used to match the second bolt, the third bolt hole is used to match the retaining sleeve bolt 1, and the fourth bolt hole is used to match the fourth bolt.
[0042] In this embodiment, the installation process of the base device is as follows:
[0043] First, use four hexagon socket bolts to fix the connecting plate 4 to the reducer, use four first bolts to connect the base plate 10 to the frame, and use a set of second bolts and nuts to connect the first support block 6 and the second support block 7 to the torque arm;
[0044] Then, insert one of the springs 5 into the spring retaining sleeve 3, and then insert the other end of the spring into a countersunk hole in the connecting plate 4; take a retaining sleeve bolt 1 and pass it through the third bolt hole corresponding to the horizontal base plate, screw in the locknut 2, and insert it into the circular hole at the bottom of the spring retaining sleeve 3, and pre-tighten the spring 5 by screwing the locknut 2; follow the same method to install the other three sets of spring retaining sleeves and the corresponding springs 5 in sequence;
[0045] Adjust the tightness of the four springs 5 uniformly to maintain a uniform tightness;
[0046] After adjusting the pressure of the four springs 5 to balance them, finally separate the torque arm from the first support block and the second support block, support the reducer through the base, and reduce its shock.
[0047] This embodiment cleverly utilizes the buffering and energy absorption characteristics of the spring, and changes the original rigid buffer into elastic energy absorption, avoiding the impact on the fixed point at the moment of motor startup, thereby avoiding fatigue impact on the torque arm fixing rod, and no longer need to worry about the torque arm fixing rod breaking due to fatigue, thereby improving the stability of equipment operation and ensuring continuous production; by installing anti-loosening nuts on the retaining sleeve bolts, it is possible to prevent the spring retaining sleeve from loosening caused by the impact of motor start-up and shutdown, and the tightness of the spring can be adjusted as needed, which is both reliable and flexible and convenient; the overall structure of the device is simple, easy to install, and has low manufacturing cost. It only needs to regularly check the elastic performance of the spring to maintain its status, and only replace the spring when necessary, which meets the needs of buffering and shock absorption, reduces the frequency of equipment maintenance and replacement, and saves equipment procurement costs and labor maintenance costs.
[0048] Although the above description of the specific implementation methods of the present invention is combined with the accompanying drawings, it does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Technical personnel in the relevant field should understand that on the basis of the technical solution of the present invention, various modifications or deformations that can be made by technical personnel in this field without creative work are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
