Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic tensioning device technology, specifically an automatic tensioning device for small spaces. Background Technology

[0002] An automatic tensioning device is a device used to maintain stable tension in a mechanical system. It ensures the normal operation of the system by automatically adjusting the tension and is commonly used in mechanical equipment such as belt conveyors, drive belts, and chain drive systems.

[0003] Conventional tensioning devices use guide rails as limiting mechanisms and springs as tensioning structures. They occupy a large space and can only function within a 180° range in front and behind. This makes them unsuitable for customers with limited space and wide requirements. The structure is also relatively complex, making assembly troublesome and increasing the workload of personnel.

[0004] Therefore, we propose an automatic tensioning device for small spaces to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2An automatic tensioning device for small spaces includes an automatic tensioning device 1. The automatic tensioning device 1 includes a fixed tube 11 and an inner sleeve 18 installed in the middle of the fixed tube 11. A lead screw 13 is threadedly connected to the inner sleeve 18. A mounting seat A12 is installed on the outer surface of the fixed tube 11. A mounting seat B14 is installed on the upper end of the outer surface of the lead screw 13. A spring 15 is installed between the top end of the mounting seat A12 and the bottom end of the mounting seat B14. The spring 15 is restricted by the mounting seat A12 and the mounting seat B14 to prevent the spring 15 from moving.

[0023] The outer surface of the lead screw 13 is threaded with a nut 16, and the nut 16 is located at the top of the mounting base B14. The position of the mounting base B14 can be adjusted by rotating the nut 16.

[0024] The inner sleeve 18 is a tubular component made of nylon material, which facilitates the rotation of the lead screw 13.

[0025] In this embodiment: an inner sleeve 18 is added inside the fixed tube 11. The inner sleeve 18 is a tubular component made of nylon material. The inner wall of the inner sleeve 18 is provided with a threaded groove. The self-lubricating property of nylon is used to provide lubrication for the fixed tube 11 and reduce frictional resistance. The mounting seat A12 installed on the outer surface of the fixed tube 11 and the mounting seat B14 installed on the upper end of the outer surface of the lead screw 13 restrict the spring 15 located on the outer surface of the fixed tube 11 and the outer surface of the lead screw 13, preventing the spring 15 from moving horizontally. The spring 15 is flexibly limited. When the force exceeds the rigidity range of the spring 15, the fixed tube 11 is used for hard limiting. The device can meet the automatic tensioning condition at any angle. The fixed tube 11 is welded to the automatically tensioned workpiece.

[0026] Example 2: This example is an improvement upon Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 An injection hole 17 is provided on the outer surface of the fixed tube 11. A delivery hole 19 is provided at one end of the injection hole 17 and inside the fixed tube 11 and the inner sleeve 18. The interior of the delivery hole 19 is connected to the interior of the threaded groove opened on the inner wall of the inner sleeve 18.

[0027] A bottom rotation groove 195 is provided at the bottom end of the delivery hole 19 and inside the body of the fixed tube 11. The bottom rotation groove 195 is close to the side of the injection hole 17. The cross-sectional area of ​​the delivery hole 19 is larger than that of the injection hole 17.

[0028] A rotating rod 191 is installed between the inner walls of the bottom rotating groove 195. A baffle 194 is installed on the outer surface of the rotating rod 191. The area of ​​the baffle 194 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the injection hole 17. The length of the bottom rotating groove 195 is the same as the distance between the top of the baffle 194 and the bottom of the rotating rod 191.

[0029] The rotating rod 191 has a circular groove 192 at the middle of both ends. A torsion spring 193 is installed inside the circular groove 192. One end of the torsion spring 193 is installed on the inner wall of the bottom rotating groove 195.

[0030] In this embodiment: after the device has been used for a period of time, when it is difficult to rotate the lead screw 13, the oil filling end of the oil bottle can be inserted into the injection hole 17, so that the baffle 194 moves into the bottom rotating groove 195. When the baffle 194 is rotated under force, the rotating rod 191 rotates, and the torsion spring 193 connected between the inner wall of the circular groove 192 and the inner wall of the bottom rotating groove 195 deforms. When the oil bottle is squeezed, the lubricating oil flows into the threaded groove of the inner sleeve 18 through the delivery hole 19. The lubricating oil flows along the threaded groove of the inner sleeve 18 to lubricate the lead screw 13 and the inner sleeve 18, making it easier to rotate the lead screw 13.

[0031] Working principle: An inner sleeve 18 is added inside the fixed tube 11. The inner wall of the inner sleeve 18 is provided with a threaded groove. The self-lubricating property of nylon is used to provide lubrication for the fixed tube 11, reducing frictional resistance. The mounting seat A12 and the screw 13 restrict the spring 15. The spring 15 is flexibly limited. When the force exceeds the rigidity range of the spring 15, the fixed tube 11 provides hard limiting. The device can meet the automatic tensioning conditions at any angle.

[0032] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
