TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tension pulley, especially to a tension pulley with double-spring double-damping-block type damping mechanism. BACKGROUND
[0002] The tension pulley is a follow-up wheel pressed on the belt to change the wrap angle of the belt pulley or control the tension of the belt, and is a tension device of the belt drive. In actual use, the tension pulley needs a certain torque (i.e. pressing the belt) to maintain proper belt tension, avoid belt slip, and compensate for the elongation caused by belt wear and aging. However, when the belt moves, the speed change of the belt itself and the force acting on the tension pulley in the opposite direction when the belt moves are likely to cause the tension pulley to vibrate, leading to premature wear of the belt and the tension pulley.

[0030] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 , refer to Figure 2 The damping mechanism 1 includes two damping blocks 11 and two springs 12 in the embodiment, the two springs 12 are cross-wound and are both sleeved on the central shaft 4, the lower ends of the two springs 12 are both provided with extension parts 14, the two damping blocks 11 are both arc-shaped thick bases, the two damping blocks 11 are both arranged between the central shaft 4 and the inner wall of the shell 5, the two damping blocks 11 are both provided with first limiting grooves 13 upward, the extension parts 14 of the lower ends of the two springs 12 respectively extend into one first limiting groove 13, and the two extension parts 14 are both elastically compressed and tightened to the center direction of the spring 12 when being arranged into the first limiting groove 13; in addition, the two blocking parts 21 are symmetrically arranged around the central shaft 4, and the two blocking parts 21 are respectively abutted on one damping block 11 in the circumferential direction.
[0031] In this way, the elastic force of the spring 12 itself due to the elastic relaxation tendency acts on the damping block 11, and the two springs 12 respectively abut one damping block 11 on the inner wall of the shell 5, so that the frictional resistance is generated between the damping block 11 and the inner wall of the shell 5.
[0032] In this way, when the tensioning arm 2 has the tendency to swing under the influence of the belt, the swing tendency of the tensioning arm 2 around the central shaft 4 acts on the two blocking parts 21, and the two blocking parts 21 are blocked by one damping block 11 due to the existence of the frictional resistance, so that the damping mechanism 1 can effectively inhibit the swing of the tensioning arm 2, and further inhibit the vibration of the entire tensioning wheel.
[0033] It should be noted that: in the embodiment, two springs 12 are arranged in the damping mechanism 1, and the resistance generated by the damping mechanism 1 can be doubled, which can effectively improve the limit anti-vibration performance of the tensioning wheel.
[0034] Further, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 In this embodiment, in order to prevent the elongated portion 14 of the lower end of the spring 12 from being detached from the first limiting groove 13 in the circumferential direction, the first limiting groove 13 is provided as an arc-shaped groove, and a clamping protrusion 15 is formed on the outer arc-shaped groove wall of the first limiting groove 13, which is arranged at the middle position of the first limiting groove 13.
[0035] In this regard, the groove width of the limiting groove at the position of the clamping protrusion 15 is further narrowed due to the presence of the clamping protrusion 15, so as to effectively clamp the elongated portion 14 of the lower end of the spring 12; and the elastic force effect of the elongated portion 14 can also be uniformly transmitted from the clamping protrusion 15 to both ends of the damping block 11, so that the outer wall of the damping block 11 can be uniformly and stably fitted with the inner wall of the shell 5, so as to as far as possible to improve the frictional resistance between the damping block 11 and the shell 5.
[0036] Further, in actual use, the damping mechanism 1 will basically encounter the situation that the relative movement of the shell 5 occurs due to the external vibration load exceeding the damping force of the damping mechanism 1, and in this case, in order to reduce the wear of the damping block 11, please refer to Figures 2 to 5 In this embodiment, the damping block 11 comprises an inner abutting portion 111 and an outer spacing portion 112, the inner abutting portion 111 is made of metal material, and the outer spacing portion 112 is a separation layer completely spaced between the inner abutting portion 111 and the shell 5, which is made of wear-resistant rubber.
