Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clutch maintenance technology, and in particular to a marine clutch structure that is easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] A marine clutch is a device that allows for the connection and disconnection of power transmission at any time. It transmits engine power to the ship's propulsion system by operating the clutch lever. When the clutch is engaged with the engine, the engine's output power drives the friction plates in the clutch via a drive chain or belt, transmitting power to the drive shaft and the ship's propulsion system, propelling the ship forward. When the clutch is disengaged from the engine, power transmission is interrupted, and the ship stops moving.

[0003] However, existing marine clutch structures still have certain shortcomings in use. When installing existing marine clutch structures, the base of the clutch structure is generally fixed by bolts. When the clutch is damaged, a spare clutch structure needs to be replaced immediately to maintain normal operation. However, bolts are not easy to operate when disassembling and assembling, and the bolts are prone to stripping after long-term use, which makes the production process more difficult. In addition, the maintenance of existing clutches is usually done by applying grease to the outside, which is not efficient and reduces the life of the clutch. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a marine clutch structure that is easy to maintain, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A marine clutch structure that is easy to maintain includes a mounting base with a mounting groove on its top. A button is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base. The mounting base has a moving cavity and a driving cavity inside. A fixing assembly is provided inside the mounting base. The fixing assembly includes a bidirectional motor fixedly installed in the driving cavity. The bidirectional motor is electrically connected to the button. A drive rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the bidirectional motor. The drive rod is rotatably connected to the interior of the mounting base. A first bevel gear is provided on the outside of the drive rod. An adjusting screw is provided in the moving cavity. The adjusting screw is rotatably connected to the interior of the mounting base. A second bevel gear is provided on the side of the adjusting screw. The second bevel gear extends into the driving cavity and meshes with the first bevel gear.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the adjusting screw is externally threaded with a movable plate, and a plug-in rod is fixedly connected to the side of the movable plate. The plug-in rod is inserted into the interior of the mounting base. The top of the mounting base is provided with a mounting bracket, and the bottom of the mounting bracket is provided with a mounting part. The mounting part fits into the mounting groove, and a slot is provided through the side of the mounting part. The plug-in rod is inserted into the slot.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a connecting rod is provided through the side of the mounting bracket, a limit groove is provided on the inner side of the mounting bracket, the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket, and a bushing is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a clutch body is sleeved on the outer side of the connecting rod, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the clutch body, the bottom of the fixing plate abuts against the abutment plate, and a through groove is formed on the top of the fixing plate.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the clutch body has a cavity inside, a bearing is fixedly connected inside the cavity, and oil seals are fixedly connected to both sides of the bearing. The oil seals and the bearing are located on the outside of the other side of the bushing.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the clutch body is provided with an oil injection hole, and the number of oil injection holes is set to two, with bolts threaded into the interior of both oil injection holes.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the connecting rod is externally fixedly connected to a fixing sleeve, and a torsion spring is provided on the outside of the fixing sleeve. The inside of the torsion spring abuts against the fixing sleeve, one side of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting bracket, and the other side of the torsion spring is inserted into the through groove.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, by setting up an installation base, fixing components, installation slots, and installation brackets, the clutch structure can be quickly replaced. When the clutch fails, a spare clutch structure can be quickly replaced to maintain normal operation and ensure the ship's normal forward movement. When the clutch structure needs to be disassembled and assembled, the bidirectional motor is controlled by a button to drive the drive rod to rotate. When the drive rod rotates, the first bevel gear part drives the adjusting screw to rotate through the second bevel gear part.

Simultaneously, it effectively absorbs and removes heat generated by internal friction during clutch operation, preventing overheating and extending the clutch's service life. When the clutch body needs oiling, first loosen the bolts, then inject lubricating oil into the oiling hole, and then tighten the bolts. Next, move the abutment plate to rotate along the limit groove. During rotation, the abutment plate drives the clutch body to rotate via the fixing plate, and then resets under the action of the torsion spring. During rotation, the lubricating oil injected into the cavity fully contacts the bearing, achieving lubrication and maintenance of the clutch body's interior. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] For examples, please refer to Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] A marine clutch structure that is easy to maintain includes a mounting base 1, a mounting groove 4 on the top of the mounting base 1, a button 2 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 1, a moving cavity 23 and a driving cavity 24 inside the mounting base 1, a connecting rod 8 extending through the side of a mounting bracket 5, a limiting groove 9 on the inner side of the mounting bracket 5, the connecting rod 8 being rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 5, a bushing 13 being rotatably fitted on the outside of the connecting rod 8, a retaining ring 10 being fitted on one side of the bushing 13, an abutment plate 11 being fixedly connected to the side of the retaining ring 10, and a limiting post 12 being fixedly connected to the side of the abutment plate 11, the limiting post 12 abutting against the limiting groove 9.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a fixing component 3 is provided inside the mounting base 1. The fixing component 3 includes a bidirectional motor 301 fixedly installed in the drive cavity 24. The bidirectional motor 301 is electrically connected to the button 2. A drive rod 302 is fixedly connected to the output end of the bidirectional motor 301. The drive rod 302 is rotatably connected to the interior of the mounting base 1. A first bevel gear 303 is provided on the outside of the drive rod 302. An adjusting screw 305 is provided in the moving cavity 23. The adjusting screw 305 is rotatably connected to the interior of the mounting base 1. A second bevel gear 303 is provided on the side of the adjusting screw 305. The second bevel gear section 304 extends into the drive cavity 24 and meshes with the first bevel gear section 303. The adjusting screw 305 is externally threaded with a moving plate 306. The side of the moving plate 306 is fixedly connected with a plug rod 307, which is inserted into the interior of the mounting base 1. The top of the mounting base 1 is provided with a mounting bracket 5, and the bottom of the mounting bracket 5 is provided with a mounting part 6. The mounting part 6 fits into the mounting groove 4. The side of the mounting part 6 is provided with a through slot 7, and the plug rod 307 is inserted into the slot 7.

[0027] The system incorporates a mounting base 1, a fixing component 3, a mounting slot 4, and a mounting bracket 5, enabling rapid replacement of the clutch structure. In case of clutch failure, a spare clutch structure can be quickly replaced to maintain normal operation and ensure the ship's forward movement. When disassembly or reassembly of the clutch structure is required, a bidirectional motor 301 is activated via button 2. The bidirectional motor 301 drives the drive rod 302 to rotate. As the drive rod 302 rotates, the first bevel gear 303 drives the adjusting screw 305 to rotate via the second bevel gear 304. When the adjusting screw 305 rotates, the moving plate 306 outside the adjusting screw 305 moves left and right within the moving cavity 23, thereby facilitating the separation and insertion of the connector rod 307 and the slot 7. The fixing component 3 enables automatic fixing of the mounting bracket 5, and the insertion of the connector rod 307 and the slot 7 ensures the stability of the mounting bracket 5 connection, reducing disassembly and reassembly time and allowing the ship to resume normal operation as quickly as possible.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a clutch body 16 is sleeved on the outer side of the connecting rod 8. A fixing plate 22 is fixedly connected to the outside of the clutch body 16. The bottom of the fixing plate 22 abuts against the abutment plate 11. A through groove is opened on the top of the fixing plate 22. A cavity 19 is opened inside the clutch body 16. A bearing 15 is fixedly connected inside the cavity 19. Oil seals 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bearing 15. The oil seals 14 and the bearing 15 are located on the outside of the other side of the bushing 13. An oil injection hole 17 is opened on the top of the clutch body 16. There are two oil injection holes 17. Bolts 18 are threadedly connected inside the two oil injection holes 17. A fixing sleeve 20 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 8. A torsion spring 21 is provided on the outside of the fixing sleeve 20. The inside of the torsion spring 21 abuts against the fixing sleeve 20. One side of the torsion spring 21 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting bracket 5. The other side of the torsion spring 21 is inserted into the through groove.

[0029] The design of the clutch body 16 facilitates internal lubrication maintenance, reduces friction between internal components, decreases wear, and improves transmission efficiency. It also effectively absorbs and removes heat generated by internal friction during clutch operation, preventing overheating and extending clutch lifespan. When lubrication is required, the bolt 18 is loosened, lubricating oil is injected into the lubrication hole 17, and then the bolt 18 is tightened. The abutment plate 11 is then moved, causing it to rotate along the limiting groove 9. During rotation, the abutment plate 11 drives the clutch body 16 to rotate via the fixing plate 22, and then resets under the action of the torsion spring 21. During rotation, the lubricating oil injected into the cavity 19 fully contacts the bearing 15, achieving lubrication maintenance of the clutch body 16.

[0030] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When the marine clutch structure designed in this scheme is easy to maintain, and it is necessary to disassemble or assemble the clutch structure, the bidirectional motor 301 is controlled by button 2. The bidirectional motor 301 drives the drive rod 302 to rotate. When the drive rod 302 rotates, the first bevel gear 303 drives the adjusting screw 305 to rotate through the second bevel gear 304. When the adjusting screw 305 rotates, the moving plate 306 outside the adjusting screw 305 moves left and right in the moving cavity 23, thereby realizing the insertion of the rod 3. During the separation and insertion process of 07 and slot 7, when the clutch body 16 needs to be lubricated, first loosen the bolt 18, then inject lubricating oil into the oil injection hole 17, then tighten the bolt 18, and then move the abutment plate 11 so that the abutment plate 11 rotates along the limit groove 9. During the rotation, the abutment plate 11 drives the clutch body 16 to rotate through the fixing plate 22, and then resets under the action of the torsion spring 21. During the rotation, the lubricating oil injected into the cavity 19 and the bearing 15 are in full contact, realizing the lubrication and maintenance of the clutch body 16.
