[0036] The utility model adopts mechanical structure symmetry mirror image mode, first disc spring 2 and second disc spring 9 are completely same in shape, structure, layout and function etc. First load disc 3 and second load disc 7 are completely same in shape, structure, layout and function etc. First torque friction plate 4 and second torque friction plate 6 are completely same in shape, structure, layout and function etc. It is guaranteed that the external force of the device mechanical in the operation process is evenly distributed, and local wear or deformation caused by uneven stress is avoided.

At the same time, the same process and tooling can be used for processing, which reduces the manufacturing difficulty and cost. It is conducive to large-area production and promotion. Further improve the operation efficiency of the whole production system, improve production efficiency.
[0037] The first torque friction plate 4 and the second torque friction plate 6 are core components of the device, usually made of an asbestos composite material with good friction performance, providing sufficient strength and rigidity to enable the friction plate to withstand pressure and torque under working conditions. At the same time, the contact area and material thermal deformation characteristics between the first torque friction plate 4 and the first load disc 3, and between the second torque friction plate 6 and the second load disc 7, also affect the torque transmission capacity and limiting effect. Since the first torque friction plate 4 and the second torque friction plate 6 are completely identical in shape, structure, layout, and function, the first torque friction plate 4 is taken as an example for illustration.
[0038] As shown in Figure 4 The first torque friction plate 4 is uniformly distributed with a plurality of first friction blocks 401 on one side, and a plurality of second friction blocks 402 on the other side.
[0039] In the case of the first disc spring 2 applying positive pressure to the first torque friction plate 4, the first friction blocks 401 are tightly attached to the first load disc 3, and the second friction blocks 402 are tightly attached to the sprocket mechanism 5, transmitting the input shaft torque of the limiting device structure 1 to the output torque of the sprocket mechanism 5, while the first load disc 3, the sprocket mechanism 5, and the first torque friction plate 4 cooperate to realize the torque limiting function. During torque transmission, the first friction blocks 401 are tightly attached to the first load disc 3, and the second friction blocks 402 are tightly attached to the sprocket mechanism 5, realizing smooth start and stop of the sprocket mechanism 5, reducing impact and vibration, and improving the running stability of the equipment.
[0040] In a specific embodiment, the first torque friction plate 4 is uniformly distributed with 12 first friction blocks 401 on one side, and 12 second friction blocks 402 on the other side.
[0041] The safety heat dissipation push piece 8 is made of aluminum and made of a metal material with high thermal conductivity. The surface of the safety heat dissipation push piece 8 is specially treated. When the temperature rises, the push piece deforms elastically, which is based on the thermal expansion and contraction characteristics of the material. The deformed safety heat dissipation push piece 8 is attached to the second load disc 7 with a reduced contact area, reducing the additional friction generated by contact and reducing the heat source.
[0042] In a specific embodiment, the safety heat dissipation push piece 8 is made of aluminum, which is easy to obtain and has low cost. The surface of the safety heat dissipation push piece 8 is treated by hard anodizing, which improves the hardness and thickens the film layer, suitable for wear-resistant occasions.
[0043] In a specific embodiment, a temperature sensor is installed on the device, and the temperature data is transmitted to the control system of the device using Internet of Things technology. When the control system detects a sudden temperature rise of the friction torque limiting device, it is predicted that the temperature rise is caused by the overloading of the torque, which intensifies the friction of the friction plate. The system will issue a warning and automatically reduce the input shaft speed to prevent further damage to the device caused by the increase in torque.
[0044] In a specific embodiment, an artificial intelligence algorithm is introduced to analyze multiple parameters such as temperature and torque in real time, predict potential failures in advance, and achieve more accurate early warning and control. At the same time, based on the obtained data, the layout of the sensor is optimized to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the collected data and improve the overall reliability of the system.
[0045] The utility model provides a kind of friction torque limiting device, first, each component is sequentially installed according to order, the pressure of first disc spring 2 and second disc spring 9 is set by rotating and being attached with locking nut 11 of tooth shape stopper pad 10.Tooth shape stopper pad 10 has certain elasticity, when locking nut 11 is tightened, tooth shape stopper pad 10 will be compressed, and elastic deformation is generated.Each component can be prevented from moving along axial direction, tooth shape stopper pad 10 has special tooth shape structure, and tooth shape structure can be tightly engaged with the surface of lock nut.This engagement can increase friction, prevent locking nut 11 from rotating or displacing when vibrating.
[0046] Under the continuous pressure of first disc spring 2 and second disc spring 9, first load disc 3, first torque friction plate 4, sprocket mechanism 5, second torque friction plate 6 and second load disc 7 are always closely attached, and this design can ensure the tightness of the connection between each component, effectively transmit torque and load.In the operation process of sprocket mechanism 5, first torque friction plate 4 and second torque friction plate 6 can better realize torque transmission, reduce energy loss and slipping phenomenon.At the same time, first load disc 3 and second load disc 7 can also stably bear and transmit load under the pressure of disc spring, improve the working efficiency and reliability of the whole mechanism.In addition, disc spring has good elasticity and large axial stiffness, and will generate continuous pressure when it is compressed.The use of disc spring can also buffer the vibration and impact generated during the operation of sprocket mechanism 5 to some extent, protect each component from damage and prolong the service life of the device.
[0047] In normal operation, the sprocket mechanism 5 is in close contact with the first torque friction plate 4 and the second torque friction plate 6, realizing stable torque transmission. Once the torque of the sprocket mechanism 5 exceeds the set threshold, the first torque friction plate 4 and the second torque friction plate 6 start to slide with the friction surface of the sprocket mechanism 5 due to insufficient friction to maintain relative static state. This sliding consumes the excess torque, protecting the critical components of the equipment from excessive stress.
[0048] When the torque of the sprocket mechanism 5 exceeds the set value, relative sliding occurs between the first friction block 401 and the friction surface of the first load disc 3, and between the second friction block 402 and the friction surface of the sprocket mechanism 5, thereby limiting the further transmission of torque. Relative sliding between the first torque friction plate 4, the second torque friction plate 6 and the friction surface of the sprocket mechanism 5 may cause the temperature of the first load disc 3, the second load disc 7 and the safety heat dissipation push piece 8 to rise due to heat generated by friction under high load working conditions.
[0049] The improved friction torque limiting device adopts the principle that friction is proportional to normal pressure, and the torque limiting value is set by adjusting the size of the normal pressure. By tightening or loosening the locking nut 11 matched with the threaded screw structure of the limiting device structure 1, the pressure applied by the first disc spring 2 and the second disc spring 9 can be adjusted, and different torque limiting values can be conveniently set to adapt to different working conditions and equipment requirements.
[0050] The safety heat dissipation push piece 8 can dissipate heat to the surrounding air, effectively improving the heat dissipation efficiency and preventing the first torque friction plate 4, the second torque friction plate 6, the first load disc 3 and the second load disc 7 from performance degradation or failure due to overheating. After the safety heat dissipation push piece 8 is heated and elastically deformed, the contact area with the second load disc 7 is reduced, thereby reducing part of the friction pressure.

Therefore, the above disclosed embodiments are merely illustrative in all aspects, and are not the only ones. All changes within the scope of the present application or within the scope equivalent to the present application are included in the present application.
