Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of compression spring manufacturing, and in particular to an adjustable compression spring. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, compression springs are widely used in key structures such as shock absorption, transmission and reset between mechanical parts. Each component has different requirements for the tightness of the compression spring, so an adjustable compression spring is needed to meet the different needs.
[0003] A typical adjustable compression spring adjusts its tension by incorporating a structure between the spring sections that allows for size adjustment, thereby changing the initial length of the spring. However, this structure is generally difficult to adjust during use and lacks features to limit the spring's movement. Chinese patent application number "CN202211050974.1" discloses an adjustable compression spring comprising: a cylinder containing a compression spring body; a sliding rod second movably connected to the top of the cylinder; and an upper top plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding rod second. This adjustable compression spring connects to the inner wall of the cylinder via an adjusting disc and an internal thread. The top of the spring applies a spring force to the lower surface of the upper plate, pushing it so that its upper surface aligns with the lower surface of the adjusting disc. At this point, the limiting protrusion engages with the limiting hole. When the auxiliary handle is turned, the sliding rod rotates, causing the upper plate to rotate as well. The engagement of the limiting protrusion and the limiting hole allows the adjusting disc to rotate inside the cylinder. Furthermore, the side of the adjusting disc engages with the internal thread, allowing it to move up and down within the cylinder. The fixed disc remains in a fixed position. However, this adjustment structure is relatively complex and only allows for unidirectional adjustment. Utility Model Content

By setting up meshing rotation between gears, and by connecting corresponding connecting rods through threaded connections between the gears, the chassis structure is driven to compress or release the spring, thus adjusting the tension of the compression spring. By setting up upper and lower adjusting rods, and by setting upper and lower connecting blocks for limiting movement, bidirectional adjustment of the compression spring tension is achieved.
[0005] This utility model also provides a compression spring with the aforementioned adjustable tension, comprising: a compression spring structure, the upper end of which is threadedly connected to the lower end of an upper fixed base via a connecting bolt; an input end fixed seat is fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper fixed base; and the lower end of the compression spring structure is threadedly connected to the lower fixed base via a connecting bolt.

By setting the meshing rotation between the gears and the corresponding connecting rod structure threaded between the gears, the base structure is driven to compress or release the spring, thus adjusting the tension of the compression spring. By setting the upper and lower adjusting rods and the upper and lower connecting blocks for limiting movement, bidirectional adjustment of the compression spring tension is achieved.

[0024] refer to Figure 1-4 The adjustable compression spring of this embodiment includes: a compression spring structure 10, which enables the movement of the overall compression spring structure 10. The upper end of the compression spring structure 10 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the upper fixed base 4 via a connecting bolt 11. An input end fixing seat 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper fixed base 4. The lower end of the compression spring structure 10 is threadedly connected to the lower fixed base 6 via a connecting bolt 11, thus enabling connection with an input device.
[0025] An upper adjusting rod 2 has a first adjusting gear 15 fixedly connected to its end. A second adjusting gear 16 meshes with the end of the first adjusting gear 15. An upper threaded connecting rod 12 is internally threaded to the second adjusting gear 16. Rotation of the threaded rod adjusts the position of the upper threaded connecting rod 12, thus adjusting the tightness of the upper section. An upper fixed base 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper threaded connecting rod 12, which is a hollow structure. An upper connecting block 9 is provided at the outer end of the upper threaded connecting rod 12, and a lower connecting block 13 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the upper connecting block 9. An upper support frame 18 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper connecting block 9, and the second adjusting gear 16 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the upper support frame 18.
[0026] The lower end of the lower connecting block 13 is fixedly connected to the lower end support frame 19, and the lower end of the lower support frame 19 is rotatably connected to the fourth adjusting gear 17. This limits the position of the fourth adjusting gear 17 to prevent it from falling off. A compression spring housing 1 is fitted to the outer ends of the upper fixed chassis 4 and the lower fixed chassis 6. An upper adjusting rod 2 and a lower adjusting rod 3 are located on the side of the compression spring housing 1. The diameter of the lower adjusting rod 3 is smaller than that of the upper threaded connecting rod 12. A third adjusting gear 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the lower adjusting rod 3, and the fourth adjusting gear 17 meshes with the outer end of the third adjusting gear 8. A lower threaded connecting rod 14 is threadedly connected inside the fourth adjusting gear 17, and the lower fixed chassis 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the lower threaded connecting rod 14.

An output end fixing seat 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower fixed chassis 6, and the output end fixing seat 7 is connected to the output device.
[0027] Working principle: When the tension of the compression spring needs to be adjusted, the upper adjusting rod 2 is driven, which in turn drives the second adjusting gear 16 to rotate through the first adjusting gear 15. The threaded structure of the second adjusting gear 16 causes the upper adjusting rod 2 to move, thereby adjusting the tension of the compression spring structure 10.
[0028] The tension at the lower end of the compression spring structure 10 needs to be adjusted. Rotate the lower adjustment rod 3 and repeat the above steps.
[0029] When the compression spring is needed, connect the input device to the input end mounting base 5 and the output device to the output end mounting base 7.
