Description

Technical Field

[0002] A leveler is a piece of equipment used for sheet metal processing. Its primary function is to mechanically straighten sheet metal to achieve the desired flatness and geometric shape. Traditionally, levelers have used couplings that are fixed one to another. Because there are 19 or as many as 23 couplings, each disassembly takes a long time, resulting in extremely low efficiency and posing safety risks to workers.

For example, threaded connections secure multiple couplings together by screwing nuts together. Another method utilizes pins or clips, which can be inserted or removed to quickly connect couplings. While these methods improve coupling connection speed to a certain extent, they still have limitations. Utility Model Content

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, the fixing hole on the coupling frame can effectively fix the external spline sleeve to prevent it from falling off during use, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability of the coupling quick docking mechanism.

[0018] Preferably, a lubricating layer is applied on the surface of the external spline sleeve.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, the surface of the outer spline shaft sleeve is provided with a lubricating layer, which can effectively reduce the friction between the outer spline shaft sleeve and the inner spline shaft sleeve and improve the transmission efficiency.
