Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of couplings, and in particular to a coupling. Background Art

[0002] Couplings are commonly used connectors in mechanical transmissions. Their main function is to connect two shafts to facilitate power transmission and are widely used.

[0003] The existing installation steps are relatively cumbersome and cannot adapt to different lengths between the two shafts. The length between the two shafts needs to be readjusted during installation, and the coupling cannot be installed quickly. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present application provides a coupling that has the advantages of being able to adapt to different lengths between the two shafts, without the need to adjust the length between the two shafts according to the length of the coupling, and being able to quickly install the coupling. It solves the problem that the existing installation steps are relatively cumbersome, cannot adapt to different lengths between the two shafts, needs to readjust the length between the two shafts during installation, and cannot quickly install the coupling.

[0005] The two ends of the two guide rails are connected with the up-down knob on the top of the two guide rails, and the two guide rails are connected with the up-down knob on the bottom of the two guide rails, so that the guide rails can be connected with the up-down knob on the bottom of the two guide rails.

[0006] Through the above scheme, by pushing the fixed plate toward the coupling body, the insertion rod is inserted into the coupling body. The distance between the two connecting sleeves allows the two connecting sleeves and the coupling body to enter between the two shafts. The insertion rod is pulled out of the coupling body, and the connecting sleeve is connected to the connecting plate installed on the shaft, thereby achieving the effect of adapting to different lengths between the two shafts. There is no need to adjust the length between the two shafts according to the length of the coupling, and the coupling can be installed quickly.

[0007] Furthermore, a spring is provided inside the telescopic outer tube, and both ends of the spring are respectively provided at one end of the two telescopic inner rods.

[0008] Through the above scheme, the setting of the spring can apply a thrust to the telescopic inner rod. After the coupling body and the two connecting sleeves enter between the two shafts, the insertion rod can be quickly pushed out of the coupling body, and the connecting sleeve can be quickly pushed to be connected to the connecting plate, which is convenient for the installation of the coupling.

[0009] Furthermore, a first limiting strip is provided on the middle outer surface of the insertion rod, and the middle outer surface of the first limiting strip is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first limiting groove, and the first limiting groove is opened on the inner wall of one end of the coupling body.

[0010] Through the above solution, the first limiting strip cooperates with the first limiting groove to fix the angle of the plug rod in the coupling body, so that the plug rod can drive the coupling body to rotate, and then the two plug rods can be linked through the coupling body.

[0011] Furthermore, a second limiting strip is provided on the middle outer surface of the connecting plate, and the middle outer surface of the second limiting strip is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second limiting groove, and the second limiting groove is opened on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve.

[0012] Through the above scheme, the angle between the connecting plate and the fixed plate can be fixed by sliding the second limiting groove on the second limiting bar, which facilitates the alignment of the threaded holes of the connecting plate and the fixed plate and increases the stability of the linkage between the connecting plate and the fixed plate.

[0013] Furthermore, both sides of the inner wall of the entrance at one end of the second limiting groove are chamfered.

[0014] Through the above solution, the chamfered setting of the entrance at one end of the second limiting groove can make one end of the second limiting strip conveniently inserted into the second limiting groove, without the need for the one end of the second limiting strip to be precisely aligned with the entrance at one end of the second limiting groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the edge of the inner wall of the inlet at one end of the connecting sleeve is chamfered.

[0016] With the above solution, the connecting plate can be conveniently inserted into the connecting sleeve by chamfering the inner wall edge of the inlet at one end of the connecting sleeve, without the need for the connecting plate to be precisely aligned with the inlet at one end of the connecting sleeve.

[0017] Furthermore, a threaded rod is rotatably provided on one side of the middle outer surface of the coupling body through a support plate, and the outer surfaces on both sides of the middle part of the threaded rod are respectively threadedly connected to the inner walls of one side of the two connecting rings. The thread directions of the outer surfaces on both sides of the middle part of the threaded rod are set in opposite directions, and a positioning rod is provided at one end of the two connecting rings away from each other.

[0018] Through the above scheme, the two connecting rings can be driven to move in opposite directions by rotating the threaded rod, and the distance between the two connecting rings can be adjusted so that the two connecting rings can synchronously drive the positioning rod to move, pushing the positioning rod to abut against the side of the fixed plate close to the coupling body, so that the two connecting rings cooperate with the positioning rod to fix the distance between the two fixed plates and the coupling body, thereby avoiding the insertion rod from moving in the coupling body during operation and causing noise, thereby improving the stability of the coupling during operation.

[0019] Furthermore, the inner wall of one side of the connecting ring is slidably arranged on the outer surface of one side of the middle part of the limiting rod, and the two ends of the limiting rod are arranged on one side of the outer surface of the middle part of the coupling body through a support plate.

[0020] With the above solution, the stability of the connecting ring during movement can be improved by sliding the inner wall of one side of the connecting ring on the outer surface of one side of the middle portion of the limiting rod.

[0021] Compared with the existing technology, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] This coupling pushes the fixed plate toward the coupling body so that the insertion rod is inserted into the coupling body. The distance between the two connecting sleeves allows the two connecting sleeves and the coupling body to enter between the two shafts. The insertion rod is pulled out of the coupling body so that the connecting sleeve is connected to the connecting plate installed on the shaft, thereby achieving the effect of adapting to different lengths between the two shafts. There is no need to adjust the length between the two shafts according to the length of the coupling, and the coupling can be installed quickly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
