It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0031] The terms "first" and "second" are only used for description purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited by "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more features; in the description of the utility model, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] The stop pin and the stop pile collide to consume the residual energy in each action of the ZD6 switch machine. Due to the structure, the collision position of the stop pin and the connecting section of the body are small, and multiple collision fatigue fracture easily occurs.

[0034] Therefore, the embodiment provides a mechanism for limiting the rotation angle. The stop pin is replaced by the structure of the utility model. When the rotation is limited, the small end of the flat long part 2 collides with the stop pile and the toothed structure of the flat long part 2 and the ring part 1 collides to limit the rotation. Finally, the main shaft stops at the set position. Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figures 4-6 Figure 4 the end face of the ring part 1 has a boss 5, Figure 5 the flat long part 2 has a groove 6, Figure 6 the two are nested to form a toothed structure, Figure 7 and the assembly structure is shown. Specifically, the ring part 1 and the flat long part 2 have a first inner hole 3 and a second inner hole 4, respectively. The inner hole of the ring part 1 is a spline structure and is matched with the spline of the main shaft. The end face of the ring part 1 matched with the flat long part 2 has a boss 5. The inner hole of the flat long part 2 is larger than the outer diameter of the spline of the main shaft. The flat long part 2 has a groove 6 accommodating the boss 5. The groove 6 is communicated with the inner hole. The outer wall of the groove 6 is a circular arc surface with the rotation center as the center. The two ends of the boss 5 form a stop surface with the two ends of the groove 6. The two form a nested matching structure with a certain relative rotation angle. That is, the boss 5 and the groove 6 are in contact after the two relatively rotate by a limited angle, so that the two cannot continue to relatively rotate in the same direction, but can relatively rotate in the opposite direction. After the boss 5 and the groove 6 are in contact in the opposite direction, the two cannot continue to relatively rotate in the same direction.

[0035] The boss 5 in the embodiment is an arc boss 5. The outer wall surface is a circular arc surface, and the inner wall is an extension surface of the spline. The boss 5 can also be a cylindrical structure or a square column structure.

[0036] The improved structure of the embodiment is that the small end of the flat long part 2 collides with the stop pile, and then the toothed structure of the flat long part 2 and the ring part 1 collides, so that the main shaft stops at the set position. The whole end of the flat long part 2 collides with the stop pin, and there is no dangerous section. By selecting appropriate size, the section can be equivalent to the section of the stop pile, so that the two have equal strength. After the boss 5 and the groove 6 collide, the ring part 1 and the flat long part 2 are subjected to shear force. Since the shear surface is significantly larger than the original shear surface of the stop pin, when the same material is used, the number of impacts and collisions is increased, the ability to withstand static load is also increased, that is, the impact fatigue life is increased.

[0037] ​In another embodiment, the groove 6 is located on the end face of the annular part 1, and the boss 5 is located on the end face of the elongated part 2, that is, the positions of the boss 5 and the groove 6 can be interchanged, and the two can also form a tooth-embedded structure for replacing the stop bolt.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Special, such as Figure 8 As shown, the groove 6 of the elongated part 2 of the present invention is provided on the outer wall, and both ends of the groove 6 are stop surfaces. The arcuate inner wall surface of the boss 5 of the annular part 1 slides with the wall surface of the groove 6 to form a tooth-embedded structure.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] In particular, the boss 5 of the annular part 1 in the present invention is a cylindrical boss 5, or can be a prismatic boss 5, such as Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 The cylindrical boss 5 and the groove 6 form a tooth-embedded structural relationship, and the contact surface between the two is an arc surface, which does not cause interference during rotation.

[0042] Example 4

[0043] In this embodiment, friction material is added between the two parts to dissipate kinetic energy through friction. Furthermore, two torsion springs with opposite rotations can be placed between the two parts, or a single torsion spring can be composed of two parts with different rotations. This torsion spring structure restricts relative motion between the two parts in both directions, maintaining a neutral position when not subject to external forces, ensuring that the edges of the boss 5 and the groove 6 do not contact each other.

[0044] In this embodiment, the mechanism separates the stopper into a ring-shaped component 1 and an elongated component 2. Rotational restriction is achieved through the collision of the small end of the elongated component 2 with the stopper, and the collision of the tooth structure of the elongated component 2 with the ring-shaped component 1, ultimately stopping the spindle at the set position. In this utility model, the entire end of the elongated component 2 collides with the stopper, eliminating any hazardous cross-section. By selecting appropriate dimensions, its cross-section can be made equivalent to that of the stopper, achieving equal strength between the two.

[0045] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
