Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of couplings, in particular to a four-claw output shaft. Background Art

[0002] A four-claw coupling is a mechanical transmission device that gets its name from the four claw-shaped parts in its structure. These four claw-shaped parts are distributed between the coupling sleeve and the ring gear, and they achieve the transmission function by interlocking with each other. Their shape resembles that of an animal's claws, hence the name "four-claw coupling."

[0003] The four-claw coupling consists of a four-claw output shaft, a plum blossom rubber pad and a four-claw driven shaft. The four-claw output shaft is connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the four-claw driven shaft is connected to a shaft without its own driving force.

[0004] Chinese Utility Model Publication No.: CN213064394U includes a first connection port, a circular groove is provided on the front side of the first connection port, a round rod is movably connected to the inner cavity of the circular groove, and a second connection port is fixedly installed on the front side of the round rod. The improved top shaft oil pump high-strength four-claw coupling is connected between the first connection port and the second connection port by a connecting block, a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate. When the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are located in the inner cavity of the clamping groove, the spring is in a compressed state. Then, the upper part of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate is movably connected to the inner cavity of the through hole, so that when the first clamping plate and the first connection port are located in the inner cavity of the clamping groove and the through hole, the first connection port and the round rod can be tightly connected together, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first connection port and the round rod and avoiding the first connection port and the round rod from rotating for a long time, which causes the first connection port and the round rod to slowly separate.

[0005] The applicant found that this patent had some shortcomings during use: there was no protection at the gap between the two connecting ports, and impurities and dust in the external air entered the interior through the gap. After a certain period of use, a large amount of sludge would be generated, requiring frequent disassembly and cleaning.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention designs a four-claw output shaft to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content
