The chain wheel shaft group is an important part of the entire scraper conveyor, which contains multiple components such as seals, oil seals and bearings. Once the chain wheel shaft group seal is damaged, the bearing is damaged, or the chain wheel and the chain nest tooth surface are severely worn, it will cause the chain and the chain nest to not be able to mesh normally, and then it may cause the chain to break or jump during operation.

[0026] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, this utility model will be further described in detail with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection is not limited thereto.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 8, this utility model provides a gear coupling for a scraper conveyor, including a first half-coupling 1 connected to a sprocket shaft 3 and a second half-coupling 2 connected to a reducer. The same internal gear sleeve 4 is sleeved on the outer side of the first half-coupling 1 and the second half-coupling 2, which are close to each other.

The outer side of the end of the first half-coupling 1 and the second half-coupling 2 close to each other is fixedly provided with a circle of outer meshing teeth 6.
[0029] The inner tooth sleeve 4 is a cylindrical structure with two open ends, and a circle of inner meshing teeth is fixedly arranged on the inner side of the inner tooth sleeve 4. Two internally and externally communicating threaded holes are symmetrically arranged in the middle of the inner tooth sleeve 4, a coaxial washer groove is arranged at the outer opening of the threaded hole, and a positioning bolt 5 is respectively screwed at each threaded hole. The outer side of the positioning bolt 5 is sleeved with a washer 7, and the washer 7 is located inside the washer groove.
[0030] The end of the first half-coupling 1 and the second half-coupling 2 close to each other is respectively inserted into the two openings of the inner tooth sleeve 4, and the circle of outer meshing teeth 6 at the end of the first half-coupling 1 and the second half-coupling 2 is respectively engaged with the circle of inner meshing teeth on the inner side of the two open ends of the inner tooth sleeve 4. The end of the first half-coupling 1 and the second half-coupling 2 close to each other is respectively in contact with the positioning bolt 5, and the first half-coupling 1 and the second half-coupling 2 are positioned by the two positioning bolts 5.
[0031] The inner side of the first half-coupling 1 is provided with internal splines, and the end of the first half-coupling 1 close to the second half-coupling 2 is provided with an outer expansion groove 8, and the inner diameter of the outer expansion groove 8 is greater than the inner diameter of the first half-coupling 1. The outer side of the sprocket shaft 3 is provided with external splines, and the end of the sprocket shaft 3 is inserted from the end of the first half-coupling 1 away from the second half-coupling 2, and the external splines on the sprocket shaft 3 are matched with the internal splines on the inner side of the first half-coupling 1.
[0032] A pressing plate 9 is arranged in the outer expansion groove 8 at the opening of the first half-coupling 1, and the pressing plate 9 includes a large-diameter section and a small-diameter section, which are coaxially arranged, the large-diameter section is located inside the outer expansion groove 8, and the small-diameter section is located inside the opening of the first half-coupling 1 close to the second half-coupling 2. A plurality of counterbores are arranged on the side end face of the pressing plate 9 close to the second half-coupling 2, and the counterbores are in communication with the side end face of the pressing plate 9 away from the second half-coupling 2.
[0033] A plurality of threaded holes are arranged on the side end face of the sprocket shaft 3 close to the second half-coupling 2, and a fixing bolt 10 is arranged in each counterbore of the pressing plate 9, the fixing bolt 10 corresponds to the threaded hole on the end face of the sprocket shaft 3 in a one-to-one manner, and the fixing bolt 10 is screwed with the corresponding threaded hole after passing through the counterbore, so as to fixedly connect the pressing plate 9, the first half-coupling 1 and the sprocket shaft 3.
[0034] The outer side of the second half coupling 2 is provided with external splines, the inner side of the output shaft of the speed reducer is provided with internal splines, and the external splines on the outer side of the second half coupling 2 are matched with the internal splines on the inner side of the output shaft of the speed reducer.
[0035] The gear coupling belongs to a rigid-flexible gear coupling, in order to facilitate the disassembly of the chain wheel shaft 3, the outer engagement teeth 6 on the first half coupling 1 and the second half coupling 2 use drum-type teeth. The drum-type teeth have many advantages, such as allowing a larger angular displacement: the allowable angular displacement of the drum-type teeth is 1.5°, which is increased by 50%, and under the same modulus, tooth number and tooth width, the drum-type teeth have a larger angular displacement than straight teeth; the contact area of the tooth surface can be improved: the periodic relative sliding of the inner and outer tooth surfaces improves the transmission torque capacity and prolongs the service life; the bearing capacity is stronger, and other characteristics: under the same outer diameter of the inner tooth sleeve 4 and the large outer diameter of the half coupling, the bearing capacity of the drum-type gear coupling is increased by 15%-20% than that of the straight-type gear coupling; the drum-type tooth surface improves the basic conditions of the inner and outer teeth, and improves the friction force and wear condition between the tooth surfaces, reduces the noise, and shortens the maintenance period.
[0036] The gear coupling is made into a split structure, and the contact mode of the chain wheel shaft 3 with the gear coupling and the speed reducer is changed. The threaded hole on the end face of the chain wheel shaft 3 is fixedly connected with the pressing plate 9 on the end face of the first half coupling 1 by the fixing bolt 10, so that the chain wheel shaft 3 and the first half coupling 1 and the second half coupling 2 are always in a relatively static state. The other side of the second coupling is connected with the speed reducer, and the size length of the external splines of the second coupling is 180mm, which provides sufficient conditions for easy disassembly. The movable distance of the chain wheel shaft 3 inside the rack is 110mm, and the movable distance of the coupling connected with the chain wheel shaft 3 is 80mm. The space can completely meet the left and right movement of the chain wheel shaft 3, and the chain wheel shaft 3 can be replaced without disassembling the power part during the replacement process.
[0037] Since the connection mode of the traditional chain wheel shaft 3 with the speed reducer is relatively simple, once the chain wheel shaft 3 fails during use, it needs to be disassembled from the power part before being replaced, whether it is in the underground or on the ground. The structure of the gear coupling is optimized here to better achieve the purpose of easy disassembly.
[0038] It is apparent for those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, but can be implemented in other concrete forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present application. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present application. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.
