DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3This utility model discloses a sprocket device with the functions of reducing impact and noise, including a sprocket 1 and several buffer mechanisms 2. The sprocket 1 is provided with buffer mechanisms 2 arranged in a circumferentially spaced manner. The buffer mechanisms 2 are staggered with the tooth grooves 3 of the sprocket 1. The buffer mechanism 2 includes at least one elastic buffer body 21, which is used to buffer and support the chain plate 41 of the chain 4.
[0019] The number of elastic buffers 21 is two.
[0020] Two elastic buffer bodies 21 are fixed to both sides of the sprocket 1 by bolt pairs 22.
[0021] The elastic buffer 21 includes an inner sleeve 211, an elastic rubber body 212, and an outer sleeve 213, with the elastic rubber body 212 provided between the inner sleeve 211 and the outer sleeve 213.
[0022] The outer peripheral surface of the inner sleeve 211 is provided with an inner liner I23 that is spaced apart and located within the elastic rubber body 212. The inner liner I23 includes a support body I231 and an arc-shaped body I232 provided on the free end of the support body I231.
[0023] The inner circumferential surface of the outer shell 213 is provided with an inner lining II24 spaced apart and located within the elastic rubber body 212. The inner lining II24 and the inner lining I23 are arranged alternately. The inner lining II24 includes a support body II241 and an arc-shaped body II242 provided on the free end of the support body II241.
[0024] A gasket 5 is provided between the inner sleeve 211 and the sprocket 1.
[0025] The tooth groove 3 engages with the roller 42 of the chain 4.
[0026] The working process of this utility model:
[0027] This utility model discloses a sprocket device with impact reduction and noise reduction functions. During operation, when the chain plate 41 moves close to the sprocket 1 along with the chain 4, the chain plate 41 first contacts the elastic buffer 21. The elastic buffer 21 absorbs part of the impact force transmitted from the chain plate 41, playing a buffering role. Subsequently, the roller 42 enters the tooth groove 3 and completes the meshing with the sprocket 1. At this time, because the chain plate 41 has been buffered by the elastic buffer 21, the impact force between the roller 42 and the sprocket 1 is greatly reduced, making the entire transmission process smoother. This working method of buffering before meshing effectively reduces the direct impact between the chain plate 41 and the sprocket 1, thereby reducing the noise generated during chain transmission, reducing the wear of the sprocket and chain, and extending their service life.
[0028] Reduce impact and reduce noise: the direct impact force between the chain plate and the sprocket is greatly reduced by the buffering effect of the elastic buffer body, thereby effectively reducing the noise generated during chain transmission, which is of great significance for places with strict requirements on noise in the working environment, such as precision instrument production workshops, hospitals, etc.
[0029] Increase the service life of the sprocket and the chain: since the elastic buffer body removes part of the force transmitted by the chain plate, the impact force between the roller and the sprocket is reduced, which reduces the wear of the sprocket and the chain. Long-term use can significantly extend the service life of the sprocket and the chain, reduce the maintenance cost of the equipment and the replacement frequency.
[0030] The setting of the inner lining increases the stress area of the elastic rubber body 212, improves the buffering effect and bearing capacity.
[0031] The above examples are illustrative of the present application and are not limiting of the present application. Any simple transformation of the present application falls within the scope of protection of the present application.
