Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coupling technology, specifically to a coupling cover with one adjustable end. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial transmission systems, couplings are key components that connect two shafts and transmit torque, and coupling covers are of great importance for protecting couplings and improving their operational stability and safety. However, traditional coupling covers have some shortcomings.

[0003] On the one hand, the structure of traditional coupling covers is usually fixed, making them poorly adaptable to the connection requirements of equipment with different shaft lengths. This leads to the need to design or select coupling covers of different sizes specifically for equipment with different shaft lengths in practical applications, making it impossible to achieve standardized production and universal application, thus increasing production costs and the complexity of use.

[0004] On the other hand, traditional coupling covers often occupy a lot of space during storage and transportation due to the non-removable nature of their overall structure, and are easily damaged by collisions during transportation, affecting their normal use and service life. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a coupling cover with one adjustable end to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a coupling cover with one end adjustable includes: a cover body, the cover body having a box structure with open ends, a first connecting hole symmetrically opened on both sides of the middle part of the cover body, and a second connecting hole opened at the bottom of the cover body;

[0008] An end plate assembly includes a left cover, a right end plate, and a first bolt. Both the left cover and the right end plate have shaft holes for a coupling to pass through. The bottom of the left cover has a slider, and the left cover has a first sliding groove along its length. The first bolt passes through the first connecting hole and the first sliding groove, allowing the left cover to slide onto one of the open ends of the cover. The right end plate is fixedly disposed on the other open end of the cover. The shaft hole communicates with the box structure.

[0009] The support assembly includes a base plate, angle steel legs, and a second bolt. The angle steel legs are located at the bottom of the base plate. The base plate has a lifting lug in the middle and a second sliding groove at the end of the base plate. The second bolt passes through the second connecting hole and the lifting lug to fix the cover body to the base plate. The slider of the left cover body is slidably disposed in the second sliding groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom end of the cover is provided with a plug-in plate, and the bottom plate has a plug-in hole, and the plug-in plate is inserted into the plug-in hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the cover is provided with a window assembly, which includes a window, a window panel, a hinge, and a buckle. The window is connected to the box structure, and the window panel covers the window. One end of the window panel is hinged to one end of the cover via the hinge, and the other end of the window panel is locked to the other end of the cover via the buckle. Multiple hinges and buckles are arranged laterally along the length of the cover.

[0012] Furthermore, the support assembly also includes a third bolt, a third sliding groove is provided on the base plate, and a third connecting hole is provided on the angle steel leg. The third bolt passes through the third connecting hole and the third sliding groove to allow the angle steel leg to slide on the base plate.

[0013] Furthermore, both the first and second slides are elongated slides.

[0037] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, a coupling cover with one end adjustable according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes a cover body 1, an end plate assembly and a support assembly.

[0040] The cover 1 has a box structure with open ends, which is used to place the coupling. The middle part of the cover 1 has symmetrical first connection holes 102 on both sides, which provide mounting points for subsequent connection with the end plate assembly. The bottom of the cover 1 has a second connection hole 103 for connecting with the bottom plate 4 in the support assembly.

[0041] The end plate assembly includes a left cover 2, a right end plate 5, and a first bolt 10. Both the left cover 2 and the right end plate 5 have shaft holes for the coupling to pass through. The size of the shaft holes can be matched according to the size of the coupling to ensure that they can fit tightly with different types of shafts and achieve efficient torque transmission. The bottom of the left cover 2 is provided with a slider 201. The left cover 2 has a first groove 12 along its length. A washer 11 is fitted on the first bolt 10. The first bolt 10 passes through the first connecting hole 102 and the first groove 12 so that the left cover 2 is slidably fitted onto one of the open ends of the cover 1. The right end plate 5 is fixedly set at the other open end of the cover 1. The shaft holes are connected to the box structure.

[0042] The support assembly includes a base plate 4, angle steel legs 6, and a second bolt 13. The angle steel legs 6 are located at the bottom of the base plate 4. A lifting lug 401 is provided in the middle of the base plate 4. A second sliding groove 14 is provided at the end of the base plate 4. The second bolt 13 passes through the second connecting hole 103 and the lifting lug 401 to fix the cover 1 on the base plate 4. The slider 201 of the left cover 2 is slidably disposed in the second sliding groove 14.

[0043] It should be noted that: the left cover can slide left and right on the cover, and because the left cover is slidably connected to the cover on one side, it can also slide to one side along the cover. By adjusting the position of the left cover relative to the cover, the effective axial length of the entire coupling can be changed; the right end plate is fixedly set at the other open end of the cover, and the shaft hole is connected to the housing structure, working together with the left cover to support and connect the shaft.

[0044] Optionally, both the first slide groove 12 and the second slide groove 14 are elongated slide grooves, which have good guiding properties.

[0045] Optionally, both cover 1 and left cover 2 are U-shaped structures. The U-shaped structure not only helps to reduce the overall weight, but also provides enough space for internal components while ensuring strength.

[0046] Optionally, the second bolt 13 is a rivet bolt, which has the advantages of strong connection, easy disassembly, and high reliability.

[0047] Optionally, the number of angle steel legs 6 is four, evenly distributed along the edge of the base plate 4, which can ensure that the entire coupling cover can obtain stable support in different directions.

[0048] This invention features a sliding design for the left cover, enabling height adjustment of the coupling's length. In industrial environments, facing equipment with various shaft spacings—from large power generation equipment and steel production equipment to small precision machine tools—this coupling can adapt to different shaft spacing requirements simply by adjusting the position of the left cover. This adjustability greatly improves the coupling's versatility, allowing a single coupling specification to be used in various types of equipment, reducing the variety and specifications of couplings and facilitating standardized production. For example, in a comprehensive manufacturing plant, equipment in different workshops may come from different suppliers, resulting in significant differences in shaft spacing. Using the coupling of this invention eliminates the need to customize couplings of specific lengths for each piece of equipment, greatly reducing procurement costs, inventory management costs, and production cycles, while improving the flexibility and efficiency of equipment connections throughout the plant.

[0049] Meanwhile, by fixing the left cover to the main cover with the first bolt, and the main cover and the base plate with the second bolt, the entire coupling can be easily disassembled into several main components, including the left cover, the main cover, and the base plate. During storage, these disassembled components can be neatly stacked or stored, significantly reducing storage space compared to traditional integral couplings. During transportation, the disassembled components can be packaged and secured separately, reducing the risk of damage to the coupling due to collisions, vibrations, and other factors during transport. Furthermore, this design makes loading and unloading during transportation more convenient, improving transportation efficiency. For example, in long-distance or international transportation of couplings, the detachable structure can better adapt to different transportation environments and conditions, ensuring that the coupling maintains good performance and integrity upon arrival at its destination.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, a coupling cover with one adjustable end includes all the contents of Embodiment 1. In addition, the bottom end of the cover 1 is provided with a plug plate 101, and the bottom plate 4 is provided with a plug hole 402. The plug plate 101 is inserted into the plug hole 402, which further enhances the stability and accuracy of the connection between the cover 1 and the bottom plate 4 and prevents relative displacement during use.

[0052] Example 3

[0053] like Figures 1 to 12As shown, a coupling cover with one adjustable end is provided, which includes all the contents of Embodiment 2 except that the top of the cover 1 is provided with a window assembly, which includes a window 9, a window plate 3, a hinge 7 and a buckle 8. The window 9 is connected to the box structure. The window plate 3 covers the window 9. One end of the window plate 3 is hinged to one end of the cover 1 through the hinge 7, and the other end of the window plate 3 is locked to the other end of the cover 1 through the buckle 8. Multiple hinges 7 and buckles 8 are arranged laterally along the length of the cover 1. The operation of the cover 1 can be observed by opening the window 9. At the same time, the coupling equipment inside the cover 1 can also be repaired and inspected through the window 9. The two ends of the window plate 3 are connected by the hinge 7 and the buckle 8, which can be opened and closed freely. It can also be ensured that the window plate 3 can fit tightly against the cover 1 when closed to prevent foreign objects from entering.

[0054] The window assembly at the top of the housing greatly facilitates the maintenance and inspection of the coupling. During operation, by opening the latches and using the hinges to flip open the window panel, maintenance personnel can directly observe the internal condition of the coupling, including shaft wear, lubrication status, and component connections. If problems are found, simple repairs can be performed through the window, such as adding lubricant or tightening loose bolts. For more complex repairs, the coupling's design allows for easy disassembly, enabling maintenance personnel to quickly disassemble it into smaller components on-site for comprehensive repairs and component replacements. This eliminates the need to disassemble or transport the entire unit to a specialized repair shop, significantly reducing maintenance time and costs, and improving the maintainability and availability of the equipment.

[0055] Example 4

[0056] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, a coupling cover with one adjustable end includes all the contents of Embodiment 3, except that the support assembly also includes a third bolt 15, a third sliding groove 16 is provided on the base plate 4, and a third connecting hole 601 is provided on the angle steel leg 6. The third bolt 15 passes through the third connecting hole 601 and the third sliding groove 16, so that the angle steel leg 6 is slidably mounted on the base plate 4. The user can easily adjust the position of the angle steel leg 6 relative to the base plate 4 according to the actual use needs, without the need for complicated disassembly and reinstallation, effectively saving time and effort.

[0057] Example 5

[0058] like Figures 1 to 12As shown, a coupling cover with one adjustable end includes all the contents of Embodiment 4, except that the cover 1 is provided with a plurality of first heat dissipation holes 17, which are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the cover 1 and are connected to the housing structure. A plurality of second heat dissipation holes 18 are provided on the base plate 4, which are evenly distributed on the base plate 4 and are connected to the housing structure. By providing the first heat dissipation holes 17 or the second heat dissipation holes 18, the heat generated inside the coupling during operation can be dissipated through these heat dissipation holes, effectively preventing damage to components and performance degradation due to overheating, and extending the service life of the coupling.

[0059] The first heat dissipation hole on the cover and the second heat dissipation hole on the base plate together constitute an effective heat dissipation system. During long-term operation of the coupling, especially under high load and high speed, the internal components generate a large amount of heat. If this heat cannot be dissipated in time, it will cause the temperature of the components to become too high, thereby accelerating the wear of the components, reducing the lubrication effect, and even causing deformation and damage to the components. The heat dissipation design of this utility model can ensure that the internal temperature of the coupling is always kept within a reasonable range during operation, effectively extending the service life of the coupling, reducing the failure rate caused by overheating, and improving the reliability and stability of the entire transmission system.

[0060] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0061] The terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and "middle" used in this specification are merely for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Any changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, shall also be considered within the scope of implementation of this utility model.
