[0027] 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. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model. The utility model will be further described in combination with the drawings and embodiments:
[0028] Referring to the drawings Figure 1 - the drawings Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, a mechanical automatic tensioning structure of a chain comprises a slide 1, a bearing seat 2, a tensioning roller 3, a mounting frame assembly 4 and an elastic assembly 5.
[0029] The slide 1 is arranged symmetrically on the bucket wheel machine body, and the bearing seat 2 is arranged between the two slides 1 and is in sliding fit with the bearing seat 2, and the tensioning roller 3 is rotatably arranged on the bearing seat 2 and is matched with the chain, so that the tensioning roller 3 can slide along the tension direction of the chain.
[0030] The mounting frame assembly 4 is arranged on the bucket wheel machine body, and the elastic assembly 5 connected with the bearing seat 2 is arranged on the mounting frame assembly 4, so as to provide continuous elastic force and push the tensioning roller 3 to move to compensate the elongation of the chain.
[0031] In the specific implementation process of the utility model, when the chain tension decreases due to wear, temperature change or load elongation, the elastic assembly 5 releases the pre-compression force, pushes the bearing seat 2 to move along the slide 1, and the tensioning roller 3 moves with the bearing seat 2 to apply reverse tension to the chain, offset the elongation of the chain and maintain constant tension. At this time, the guide function of the slide 1 ensures that the tensioning roller 3 only moves in the tension direction and avoids lateral deviation, the elastic coefficient of the elastic assembly 5 is matched with the chain tension, self-adaptive adjustment is realized, the chain is looser, the displacement of the tensioning roller 3 pushed by the elastic force is greater, and vice versa. This design does not need manual intervention, automatically compensates the elongation of the chain and prolongs the service life of the chain.
[0032] In the above scheme, referring to the drawings Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, the mounting frame assembly 4 comprises a mounting plate 41, a fixed plate 42 and a mounting beam 43. The mounting plate 41 is arranged symmetrically on the bucket wheel machine body, and each of the two mounting plates 41 is provided with a fixed plate 42 on the inner side, and the mounting beam 43 fixedly connected with the elastic assembly 5 is arranged between the two fixed plates 42.
[0033] In addition, the inner side of the mounting plate 41 is sawtoothed, and the outer side of the fixed plate 42 is also sawtoothed to match the sawtooth structure of the inner side of the mounting plate 41, so as to adjust the initial position of the elastic assembly 5, so that the elastic assembly 5 can only move in the horizontal direction during the change of the elastic assembly 5, and displacement in the up-down direction does not occur.
[0034] Among them, the sawtooth structure provides a plurality of equidistant tooth grooves, and the initial position of the elastic assembly 5 is stepwise adjusted by tooth engagement. In use, different tooth positions can be selected according to the initial elongation of the chain to realize quantitative control of the pre-tightening force. At the same time, the tooth shape of the mounting plate 41 and the fixed plate 42 forms a mechanical interlock to prevent displacement of the mounting beam 43 under vibration or impact, thereby affecting the adjustment accuracy.
[0035] In the above scheme, referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, the elastic assembly 5 includes a lead screw 51, an internally threaded seat 52, a sleeve 53, a sliding block 54, and a spring 55. The lead screw 51 is connected to the mounting beam 43, and an internally threaded seat 52 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 51. One side of the internally threaded seat 52 is connected to the sleeve 53 which is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 51. The length of the sleeve 53 is not more than two-thirds of the length of the lead screw 51. A sliding block 54 connected to the bearing seat 2 is slidingly fitted on the sleeve 53. A spring 55 sleeved on the outside of the sleeve 53 is arranged between the sliding block 54 and the internally threaded seat 52, so that the initial position of the spring 55 can be changed by adjusting the internally threaded seat 52.
[0036] In the scheme, when the chain elongation causes the tension to drop, the spring 55 releases the pre-tightening force to push the sliding block 54 to move, and the tensioning drum 3 synchronously displaces to compensate for the elongation. When the chain is shortened, the spring 55 is further compressed, the pre-tightening force is increased, and over-tightening is prevented. The change of the position of the internally threaded seat 52 can pre-adjust the initial tension of the spring 55, thereby improving the use effect.
[0037] In addition, referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 4 As shown in the drawings, the elastic assembly 5 further includes a limiting seat 56. The limiting seat 56 is fixedly arranged on the sleeve 53 to limit the maximum movement distance of the sliding block 54.
[0038] When the chain tension suddenly changes or the spring 55 ages, the limiting seat 56 can prevent the sliding block 54 from exceeding the designed stroke, thereby protecting the mechanical parts from impact damage. Of course, a rubber pad (not shown in the figure) is additionally arranged on the contact surface between the limiting seat 56 and the sliding block 54 to reduce impact noise and absorb energy.
[0039] The basic principle, main features and advantages of the present application are shown and described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only to illustrate the principles of the present application. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, various changes and improvements can be made to the present application, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present application. The scope of protection of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
