Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a device for adjusting coaxial couplings in confined spaces, belonging to the field of coupling technology. Background Technology
[0002] Couplings are frequently used in the connection of motors with other equipment. A coupling is a medium that connects two types of shaft components, ensuring synchronous rotation during power or motion transmission while also protecting the equipment. When the coaxiality error between the coupling and the two ends of the equipment exceeds the tolerance, the bearings inside the equipment will be subjected to additional forces, causing unnecessary mechanical vibration and making parts prone to fatigue failure, thus severely reducing the service life of the equipment.
[0003] Currently, dial indicators are commonly used to check coaxiality in actual installations. However, the use of dial indicators is limited by the choice of equipment installation site and reference surface, as well as the operator's skill level, all of which affect the measurement of coaxiality. This can lead to a certain coaxiality deviation when the coupling is connected to the equipment at both ends.
[0004] Furthermore, in certain confined working environments, such as between an encoder and a motor, there is simply no space to install a dial indicator, and repeated measurements and adjustments are not feasible due to time constraints. Therefore, there is currently a lack of equipment capable of measuring coaxiality in confined spaces. Utility Model Content

The coaxial adjustment bracket includes two identical rotating bodies, each of which includes two parallel and oppositely arranged top plates. The two top plates are connected by at least two columns to form a rectangular frame structure. The two rotating bodies are spliced together to form the coaxial adjustment bracket. The coaxiality of the coupling and the encoder and motor shafts is adjusted by changing the splicing gap between the two rotating bodies.
[0008] Furthermore, the top plate is a crescent-shaped plate, and the outer perimeter of the top plate is formed by a semi-circular edge and a straight edge that are closed and connected. A notch is left on the straight edge. Two adjacent top plates are joined together by the straight edges to form a circular plate structure. The notches of the two straight edges are closed to form a shaft opening.
[0009] Further, at least two mounting holes are formed on each of the column bodies, and adjusting bolts are arranged in the mounting holes, and the gap between the two rotary bodies can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting bolts.

[0024] Example 1
[0025] This utility model provides a device for adjusting coaxial components in a confined space, comprising:
[0026] Coupling 3 connects the encoder and the motor shaft;
[0027] A coaxial adjustment bracket 2 is sleeved on the outside of the coupling 3 and connected between the encoder 1 and the motor 4. The coaxial adjustment bracket 2 includes two rotating bodies with identical structures. Each rotating body includes two parallel and oppositely arranged top plates 21. The two top plates 21 are connected by at least two columns 22 to form a rectangular frame structure. The two rotating bodies are spliced together to form the coaxial adjustment bracket 2. The coaxiality of the coupling 3 and the encoder 1 and motor shafts is adjusted by changing the splicing gap between the two rotating bodies.
[0028] Furthermore, the top plate 21 is a crescent-shaped plate, and the outer periphery of the top plate 21 is formed by a semi-circular edge and a straight edge that are closed and connected. A notch is left on the straight edge. Two adjacent top plates 21 are spliced together by butt joint of the straight edges to form a circular plate structure. The notches of the two straight edges are closed to form a shaft through-hole. Each column 22 can be provided with at least two mounting holes as needed. An adjusting bolt is provided in the mounting hole. The size of the fit clearance between the two rotating bodies can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting bolt.
[0029] In addition, the top plate 21 may also be provided with a semi-circular hole with a gap and a screw connection hole on the side near the encoder 1. The encoder shaft is held in place by fasteners engaging with the semi-circular hole and the screw connection hole. Conversely, the top plate 21 may also be provided with a semi-circular hole with a gap and a screw hole on the side near the motor. The encoder shaft is held in place by fasteners engaging with the semi-circular hole and the screw connection hole.
[0030] Furthermore, the coupling 3 includes two staggered half-couplings, which are connected by multiple sets of diaphragms and bolts. Each set of diaphragms is composed of several stacked stainless steel plates, and the relative displacement on both sides of the coupling is compensated by the elastic deformation of the diaphragms.
[0031] Preferably, the coaxial adjustment bracket 2 is made of aluminum alloy.
[0032] When it is necessary to adjust the coaxiality of encoder 1, coupling, and motor shaft, two rotating bodies can be spliced on the outside of coupling to form a coaxial adjustment bracket 2 that is sleeved on the outside of coupling 3 and connected between encoder 1 and motor 4. Then, the adjusting bolt is rotated to adjust the fit clearance between the two rotating bodies. By changing the splicing clearance between the two rotating bodies, the coaxiality of coupling 3, encoder 1, and motor shaft can be adjusted.
[0033] Furthermore, to protect the coupling, each of the rotating bodies may be provided with a protective cover spanning the two columns 22, the protective cover being able to enclose the coupling. Additionally, the protective cover may also have an observation hole for easy observation.

Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the claims.
