[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the linkage tensioning roller includes a main shaft 1.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, one end of the main shaft 1 is threadedly connected to an adjusting nut 2. The adjusting nut 2 is used to support, fix, and control the movement of the limiting bracket 3. At the same time, the winding diameter range of the multiple tensioning plates 4 can be adjusted by moving the adjusting nut 2.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple evenly distributed limiting brackets 3 are fixedly mounted on the outer side of the adjusting nut 2. The multiple limiting brackets 3 support and limit the multiple tensioning plates 4.

[0032] Specifically, different lengths of limit brackets 3 can be selected according to the actual inner diameter of the winding drum.

[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, each of the multiple limiting brackets 3 is hinged to one end away from the adjusting nut 2 and fitted with a tensioning plate 4. The tensioning state is controlled by controlling the expansion and contraction of the multiple tensioning plates 4.

[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, each of the multiple limiting brackets 3 has a first limiting support 13 hinged to one end near the tension plate 4. The first limiting support 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tension plate 4. The first limiting support 13 serves to connect and limit the limiting brackets 3 and the tension plate 4.

[0035] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, multiple friction blocks 11 are fixedly connected to one side of each of the multiple tension plates 4 that are opposite to each other. By setting the friction blocks 11 on the outer surface of the tension plates 4, the friction force on the outer surface of the friction blocks 11 is increased, ensuring the stability of the friction blocks 11 in providing tension support for the winding drum.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a sliding guide tube 5 is slidably fitted on the outer side of the main shaft 1. The cylinder body 6 and the fixed connecting ring 14 are assembled, fixed, and moved through the sliding guide tube 5, which facilitates the movement of the fixed connecting ring 14 by sliding the sliding guide tube 5, thereby facilitating the swing control of the auxiliary support rod 16.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a pair of fixed connecting rings 14 are arranged on the side of the sliding guide tube 5 close to the adjusting nut 2, and the pair of fixed connecting rings 14 are fixedly fitted on the outside of the sliding guide tube 5. The fixed connecting rings 14 serve to assemble and fix multiple sets of first connecting supports 15. Multiple sets of first connecting supports 15 are fixedly connected to the outside of each pair of fixed connecting rings 14. The first connecting supports 15 serve to limit the assembly of the auxiliary support rod 16.

[0038] like Figures 3 to 4As shown, each of the multiple sets of first connecting supports 15 is hinged with an auxiliary support rod 16. The swinging of these auxiliary support rods 16 provides auxiliary support for the multiple sets of tension plates 4, thus facilitating the control of the tension and unfolding states of the tension plates 4. A second limiting support 17 is hinged to the end of each auxiliary support rod 16 away from the first connecting support 15, and the second limiting support 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tension plate 4. The second limiting support 17 serves to connect the auxiliary support rod 16 to the first connecting support 15.

[0039] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, a return spring 12 is provided between the adjusting nut 2 and the sliding guide tube 5, and the return spring 12 is fitted on the outside of the main shaft 1. The compression and release of the return spring 12 plays a role in moving and resetting the sliding guide tube 5.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the end of the sliding guide tube 5 away from the adjusting nut 2 is fixedly connected to the cylinder body 6. The cylinder body 6, the swing connecting rod 7, and the main shaft 1 cooperate to form a drive cavity, which facilitates the drive control of the cylinder body 6 by supplying compressed air into the drive cavity.

[0041] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, a connector 18 is fixedly connected between the sliding guide tube 5 and the cylinder body 6. The connector 18 serves to limit the connection between the sliding guide tube 5 and the cylinder body 6.

[0042] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, a sealing ring 19 is fixedly fitted on the inner wall of the connector 18, and both the connector 18 and the sealing ring 19 are fitted onto the outer side of the spindle 1. The sealing ring 19 ensures the airtight connection between the connector 18 and the spindle 1.

[0043] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, multiple evenly distributed swing links 7 are hinged between the cylinder body 6 and multiple tension plates 4. The tension plates 4 and the cylinder body 6 are connected by the multiple swing links 7.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, multiple swing links 7 are hinged to the cylinder body 6 by multiple sets of evenly distributed second connecting supports 20. The multiple sets of second connecting supports 20 limit the connection between the swing links 7 and the cylinder body 6.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, each of the multiple swing links 7 has a third limiting support 21 hinged to one end away from the second connecting support 20. The third limiting support 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tension plate 4. The third limiting support 21 limits the connection between the swing links 7 and the tension plate 4.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, a cylinder front cover 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the cylinder body 6 away from the swing linkage 7. The cylinder front cover 8 and the cylinder body 6 cooperate to form a drive cavity. This facilitates the driving of the cylinder body 6 by supplying compressed air into the drive cavity, thereby facilitating the drive control of the sliding guide 5.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an inner stop block 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the cylinder front cover 8 located within the drive cavity, and the inner stop block 22 is slidably mounted on the outside of the main shaft 1. The sliding stroke of the cylinder body 6 is adjusted by arranging inner stop blocks 22 of different sizes.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a limiting seal ring 23 is provided between the inner stop block 22 and the cylinder body 6, and the limiting seal ring 23 is fitted on the outside of the inner stop block 22. The inner stop block 22 ensures the sealing of the connection between the inner stop block 22 and the cylinder body 6.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an airflow channel 9 is provided inside the main shaft 1, and the airflow channel 9 is connected to the drive cavity. This facilitates the delivery of compressed air into the drive cavity through the airflow channel 9, thereby facilitating the movement and driving of the cylinder block 6.

[0050] Specifically, the air duct 9 has an inclined air inlet on one side close to the drive cavity. By continuously supplying compressed air into the drive cavity through the inclined air inlet, the cylinder body 6 can drive the sliding guide 5 to slide outside the main shaft 1 under the action of air pressure.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a positioning nut 10 is threadedly connected to the end of the main shaft 1 away from the adjusting nut 2. The positioning nut 10 is located on the side of the cylinder front cover 8 opposite to the cylinder body 6. The positioning nut 10 is threadedly connected to the main shaft 1 to limit the movement of the cylinder front cover 8, reducing the risk of slippage of the cylinder body 6 during use.

[0052] Specifically, the end of the spindle 1 away from the adjusting nut 2 is provided with a countersunk mounting blind hole, which is connected to the air guide channel 9.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an inflation valve 24 is fixedly installed inside the countersunk blind hole. The inflation valve 24 blocks and limits the airflow channel 9, and at the same time, it can control the air intake and exhaust states of the airflow channel 9.

[0054] Among them, the inflation valve 24 is commercially available and can be purchased and used directly.

[0055] In practical use, when tensioning is required, compressed air is delivered into the airflow channel 9 through the inflation valve 24. The compressed air is delivered into the drive cavity along the inclined air inlet, so that the cylinder body 6 can drive the sliding guide 5 to slide outside the main shaft 1 under the action of air pressure. When the sliding guide 5 slides, it will drive multiple swing linkages 7 and auxiliary support rods 16 to swing, so that multiple tension plates 4 can drive the friction block 11 to move outward under the action of the limit bracket 3. The tensioning is limited by the expansion of multiple tension plates 4. After tensioning, the cylinder front cover 8 can be slidably limited by fixing the positioning nut 10 with threads.

[0056] When retraction is required, the limit bracket 3 must first be retracted, and the air in the drive cavity must be discharged through the inflation valve 24. Subsequently, the sliding guide 5 can be reset as the reset spring 12 is released. At the same time, the swing link 7 and the auxiliary support rod 16 will swing synchronously, and will drive multiple tension plates 4 to contract.

[0057] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0058] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
