Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically to a novel V-belt tensioning device. Background Technology
[0002] In V-belt drives of agricultural machinery, in order to ensure the normal operation of the V-belt drive, a V-belt tensioning device is commonly used to tension the V-belt. The tensioning pulley is placed on the outside of the slack side of the V-belt so that the V-belt is only subjected to unidirectional bending. At the same time, the tensioning pulley is placed as close as possible to the small pulley to prevent slippage due to the pulley wrap angle being too small.
[0003] Currently, V-belt tensioning devices have the following problems: the parallelism between the V-belt tensioning pulley shaft and the pulley shaft, as well as the perpendicularity to the direction of V-belt movement, do not meet the design requirements; the belt surface is severely worn, which can lead to V-belt slippage, affecting the performance of the equipment and reducing transmission efficiency.
