Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of coupling technology, and in particular relates to a universal coupling for heavy-duty industries. Background Technology

[0002] In heavy-duty industries, gear couplings or universal joints are generally selected. Gear couplings are characterized by their high torque capacity, but the allowable sway angle is generally no more than 2°, and the torque-to-mass ratio is low, resulting in higher costs. Universal joints are more widely used in heavy-duty applications, and their characteristics allow for sway angles of 10° to 15°. Their compensation capability is stronger than that of gear couplings. However, due to the structure of the universal joint itself, stress concentration at the root of the universal joint is unavoidable. Furthermore, the large-sized universal joints result in lower machining accuracy, so the upper limit of the universal joint bearing's load capacity is between 20 and 30 MNm. Considering the characteristics of both gear couplings and universal joints, it is impossible to meet the requirements of high torque and large sway angle. Especially in the wind power testing industry, the design and selection of couplings with high torque and large sway angle greatly complicates the testing of the entire machine.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new type of universal coupling for heavy-duty industries that can meet torque requirements of over 30MNm, accommodate large compensation angles, and features a lightweight design that facilitates on-site installation and transportation while being cost-effective.
