DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments.
[0025] Referring to Figures 1-5 The embodiment of the utility model provides a chain tightening locking mechanism of a scraper conveyor, which comprises a permanent magnet motor and an integral speed reducer 1 connected with the permanent magnet motor. The integral speed reducer 1 is internally integrated with a primary planetary carrier gear 2. When the chain tightening operation is performed, the permanent magnet motor and the integral speed reducer 1 are used to realize the transmission of the tensioning power. After the chain tightening operation is completed, the integral speed reducer 1 needs to be braked to avoid the reverse rotation. Specifically, a mounting seat 3 is mounted on the integral speed reducer 1, and a transmission shaft 4 is mounted on the mounting seat 3. A butt joint gear 5 is rotatably mounted on the transmission shaft 4. The butt joint gear 5 is engaged with the primary planetary carrier gear 2. A brake boss disc 6 is fixed on the butt joint gear 5. A brake recess disc 7 is slidably mounted on the transmission shaft 4. The brake recess disc 7 is provided with a limiting part 8 which is rotationally stopped relative to the mounting seat 3. After the brake recess disc 7 is engaged with the brake boss disc 6, the limiting part 8 is rotationally stopped on the mounting seat 3, so that the butt joint gear 5, the brake boss disc 6 and the brake recess disc 7 are braked relative to the mounting seat 3, thereby forming the brake for the primary planetary carrier gear 2.
[0026] Specifically, a connecting plate 9 is arranged on the mounting base 3, and a buffering structure is arranged on the connecting plate 9 and connected with the brake groove disc 7. An electric cylinder 10 is arranged on the mounting base 3, and the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder 10 is connected with the connecting plate 9. The electric cylinder 10 is used to adjust the position of the brake groove disc 7. Generally, when the brake is released, the electric cylinder 10 pulls the brake groove disc 7 to separate from the brake boss disc 6, and when the brake is applied, the electric cylinder 10 pushes the brake groove disc 7 to engage with the brake boss disc 6. Since the engagement process may not be exactly aligned, the buffering structure is used to buffer during the engagement process until the brake is completely engaged.
[0027] The buffering structure includes a screw 11 which is slidably arranged on the connecting plate 9 and is fastened to the brake groove disc 7. A buffering spring 12 is arranged on the screw 11, and the two ends of the buffering spring 12 are abutted on the connecting plate 9 and the brake groove disc 7, respectively. The buffering spring 12 is used to buffer during the engagement of the brake groove disc 7 and the brake boss disc 6, and the brake groove disc 7 is gradually pressed to the completely engaged state during the dynamic adjustment of the relative engagement state.
[0028] Specifically, the brake boss disc 6 includes a first disc body 61, and the first disc body 61 is arranged with protrusions 62 which are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction. The protrusions 62 are used to form the rotation stop function. The brake groove disc 7 includes a second disc body 71, and the second disc body 71 is arranged with limiting grooves 72 which are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction. The shapes of the protrusions 62 and the limiting grooves 72 are matched. The limiting portions 8 are arranged on both sides of the second disc body 71 and extend outward. The protrusions 62 and the limiting grooves 72 are engaged after mutual cooperation, and the limiting portions 8 form the rotation limiting position of the second disc body 71 relative to the mounting base 3. The protrusions 62 and the limiting grooves 72 bear the rotation limiting force, and have a certain cooperation thickness. The structure can be fan-shaped to improve the structural strength.
[0029] Meanwhile, a through groove 13 is arranged on the mounting base 3 and exposes the butt gear 5. Fixed seats 14 are arranged on both sides of the through groove 13. The transmission shaft 4 is fixed on the two fixed seats 14. Bearings are arranged on the transmission shaft 4, and the butt gear 5 is arranged on the bearings. The butt gear 5 is stably rotated relative to the transmission shaft 4.
[0030] Specifically, a protective shell 15 is arranged on the mounting base 3 to protect the internal devices.
[0031] Specifically, in order to further detect the engagement state of the brake convex disc 6 and the brake concave disc 7, in the case that the engagement is still not complete during the buffering, a certain angle rotation is realized by controlling the permanent magnet motor to ensure complete engagement, and specifically, a proximity switch is arranged on the brake convex disc 6 or the brake concave disc 7, the proximity switch is used for detecting the fitting distance between the brake convex disc 6 and the brake concave disc 7, the proximity switch is a prior art and can be embedded in the corresponding limiting groove 72, and the depth of the protrusion 62 relative to the limiting groove 72 is detected, of course, this structure is mainly for further detection of the engagement state, so as to ensure the engagement state and avoid the risk of disengagement in the case of incomplete engagement.
