Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of encoder parts and accessories, and particularly relates to an encoder bracket. Background Art

[0002] An encoder is a device that compiles and converts signals or data into a form that can be used for communication, transmission, and storage. Rotary encoders are most commonly used in conjunction with meter wheels in textile machinery, printing equipment, packaging machinery, and other fields. By combining the meter wheel and encoder coaxially, they are used to measure linear distance or length.

[0003] The meter wheel is a wear-resistant wheel with a known diameter. During use, it contacts the surface of the object being measured (cloth, paper, steel, etc.) and rotates as the object moves, enabling the encoder to measure linear length. Existing encoders and meter wheels are typically fixed in place using an L-shaped bracket. However, this traditional bracket is fixed in position and is difficult to adapt to measuring objects of varying thicknesses. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the problems mentioned in the above background technology, the utility model provides an encoder bracket.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows: an encoder bracket includes a mounting seat, a sliding arm and a swing arm, the mounting seat is provided with a mounting hole, and the mounting seat is provided with an adjustment arm; the head end of the sliding arm is slidably connected to the adjustment arm and locked by a locking piece; the head end of the swing arm is rotatably connected to the end of the sliding arm, a tension spring is provided between the swing arm and the sliding arm, and the end of the swing arm is used to install an encoder and a meter wheel.

[0006] Furthermore, the front end of the sliding arm is provided with an adjustment slot matching the adjustment arm, the adjustment arm is inserted into the adjustment slot, the locking part includes a locking bolt and a locking nut, corresponding adjustment holes are provided on the adjustment arm and the adjustment slot, and locking is achieved by the locking bolt and the locking nut.

[0007] Furthermore, the sliding arm and the swing arm are both provided with tension spring grooves, and the two ends of the tension spring are respectively rotatably arranged in the two tension spring grooves.

[0008] Furthermore, a rotating column is provided in the tension spring groove, and rotating rings are provided at both ends of the tension spring, and the rotating rings are sleeved on the rotating column.

[0009] Furthermore, both the sliding arm and the swing arm are provided with a limiting groove, the limiting groove is communicated with the tension spring groove, the width of the limiting groove is smaller than the width of the tension spring groove and matches the width of the rotating ring.

[0010] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib plate is provided between the mounting seat and the adjusting arm.

[0011] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0012] Through the sliding connection between the sliding arm and the adjustment arm and the rotational connection between the swing arm and the sliding arm, combined with the tension adjustment of the tension spring, flexible adjustment of the height and angle is achieved; when the meter wheel is placed on the object to be measured, the larger the angle between the swing arm and the sliding arm, the greater the tension of the tension spring, and the pressure of the meter wheel on the passing object also increases accordingly, without excessive fluctuation due to the uneven changes in the passing object; or no pressure is applied, resulting in the meter wheel not stepping with the passing object, ensuring more accurate measurement; secondly, the sliding connection between the sliding arm and the adjustment arm can be adjusted in height according to the specific usage scenario, improving the accuracy and scope of application of the measurement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an encoder bracket includes a mounting base 1, a sliding arm 3 and a swing arm 4. The mounting base 1 is provided with a mounting hole 11, and an adjustment arm 2 is provided on the mounting base 1; the head end of the sliding arm 3 is slidably connected to the adjustment arm 2 and locked by a locking member; the head end of the swing arm 4 is rotatably connected to the end of the sliding arm 3, and a tension spring 5 is provided between the swing arm 4 and the sliding arm 3. The end of the swing arm 4 is used to mount an encoder 6 and a meter wheel 7.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, flexible adjustment of height and angle is achieved through the sliding connection between the sliding arm 3 and the adjusting arm 2 and the rotational connection between the swing arm 4 and the sliding arm 3, combined with the tension adjustment of the tension spring 5. The larger the angle between the swing arm 4 and the sliding arm 3, the greater the tension of the tension spring 5, and the pressure of the meter wheel 7 on the passing object also increases accordingly, ensuring more accurate measurement and preventing excessive fluctuations due to the unevenness of the passing object; or no pressure is applied, causing the meter wheel 7 to not step with the passing object. Secondly, the sliding connection between the sliding arm 3 and the adjusting arm 2 can be adjusted in height according to the specific usage scenario, thereby improving the accuracy of measurement and the scope of application.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the sliding arm 3 has an adjustment slot 31 at its head end that matches the adjustment arm 2. The adjustment arm 2 is inserted into the adjustment slot 31. The locking member includes a locking bolt 32 and a locking nut 33. The adjustment arm 2 and the adjustment slot 31 have corresponding adjustment holes 21, and locking is achieved by the locking bolt 32 and the locking nut 33. The locking bolt 32 penetrates the adjustment holes 21 of the sliding arm 3 and the adjustment arm 2, and the locking nut 33 is used to lock the position of the sliding arm 3 on the adjustment arm 2, achieving a stable, simple and convenient fixation.

[0022] As a preferred solution, the sliding arm 3 and the swing arm 4 are both provided with tension spring grooves 41, and the two ends of the tension spring 5 are respectively rotatably arranged in the two tension spring grooves 41. The corresponding arrangement of the tension spring grooves 41 ensures that the tension spring 5 is parallel to the plane without generating an oblique angle, thereby improving working stability.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment, a rotating column 42 is provided in the tension spring groove 41, and a rotating ring 51 is provided at each end of the tension spring 5. The rotating ring 51 is sleeved on the rotating column 42. The arrangement of the rotating column 42 and the rotating ring 51 ensures that the tension spring 5 can rotate freely along with the rotation of the swing arm 4 during the tensioning process, avoiding torsion and stress concentration, and improving service life and working stability.

[0024] As a preferred solution, both the sliding arm 3 and the swing arm 4 are provided with a limiting slot 43, which is connected to the tension spring slot 41. The width of the limiting slot 43 is smaller than that of the tension spring slot 41 and matches the width of the swivel 51. This limits the position of the swivel 51 to prevent it from moving on the rotating column 42 during use, which would affect the overall stability.

[0025] As a preferred solution, a reinforcing rib plate 12 is provided between the mounting seat 1 and the adjusting arm 2. The provision of the reinforcing rib plate 12 improves the overall structural strength, ensures stability, and enhances rigidity.

[0026] The above describes the present invention in detail. The description of the specific embodiments is intended only to facilitate understanding of the method and core concept of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art may make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
