[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0006] The load control mechanism of the engine and the working machine comprises a driving pulley connected with the output end of the engine, a driven pulley connected with the input end of the working machine, and a belt sleeved on the driving pulley and the driven pulley; and further comprises a tensioning assembly, which comprises a swing arm arranged beside the belt and a tensioning wheel installed in the middle of the swing arm, the tensioning wheel is arranged on one side of the belt and abuts against the belt; a connecting rod mechanism is rotatably connected to the movable end of the swing arm, the swing arm can be driven to rotate by the connecting rod mechanism and drive the tensioning wheel to move away from or close to the belt, so as to unload or load the engine and the working machine. Thus, the engine and the working machine are connected by the belt transmission, the tensioning assembly is arranged in the belt transmission mechanism, the tensioning wheel is installed on the swing arm, so that when the engine is started, the position of the tensioning wheel on the swing arm will change, the tensioning wheel will move away from the belt, the belt will be loosened, and the engine and the working machine will not be connected by transmission, so that the engine will not be loaded when it is started, thereby saving more labor under the condition of load-free starting, and the improvement of the existing mechanism is small and the cost is low. After the engine is started, when the working machine needs to run, the swing arm is reversely driven to rotate by the connecting rod mechanism, the tensioning wheel on the swing arm moves to one side of the belt, abuts against the belt, and realizes the tensioning of the belt, at this time, the engine and the working machine are connected by transmission, and the working machine is driven to run by the belt transmission mechanism. This way of controlling the load or unloading of the engine and the working machine by controlling the tensioning assembly is simple in control mode, convenient to install and operate, and easy to popularize.

[0007] Further, the connecting rod mechanism comprises an installation base plate, a tensioning handle and an inclined connecting rod assembly, the installation base plate is fixedly installed above the driving pulley, and one end of the tensioning handle is rotatably installed on the installation base plate; the upper end of the connecting rod assembly is rotatably connected to the middle of the tensioning handle, and the other end is rotatably connected to the movable end of the swing arm; when the tensioning handle is rotated upward by a certain angle under the action of external force and fixed at the current position, the connecting rod assembly is driven to rotate, so that the tensioning wheel moves close to the belt; when the tensioning handle is rotated downward by a certain angle under the action of external force and fixed at the current position, the connecting rod assembly is driven to rotate downward, so that the tensioning wheel moves away from the belt. Thus, when in use, the connecting rod assembly and the swing arm connected therewith can be driven to rotate by rotating the tensioning handle, and the structure is compact and reliable. The tensioning handle can be held and rotated by the operator, and the operation is more convenient.

[0008] Further, a limiting column is arranged on the mounting base plate, an outward extending limiting part is arranged on the rotating end of the tensioning handle, and a limiting hole is arranged on the side end of the tensioning handle; after the tensioning handle is rotated upward, the limiting hole is clamped on the limiting column, and the tensioning handle is locked and positioned; after the tensioning handle is rotated downward, the limiting part is arranged under the limiting column and abuts against the limiting column, and the tensioning handle is locked and positioned. In this way, the limiting buckle and the limiting part arranged on the tensioning handle can cooperate with the limiting column when the tensioning handle is rotated to different positions, the limiting of the tensioning handle is realized, the rotating angle of the tensioning handle is limited, the accurate control of the pre-tightening force of the belt is ensured.

[0010] Further, the movable connecting block is in a C shape, a through hole for hanging the tension spring is arranged on the movable connecting block, and a through hole for hanging the tension spring is arranged on the upper end of the connecting plate. In this way, the through hole on the movable connecting block and the through hole on the connecting plate can facilitate the installation of the tension spring, and the movable connecting block in the C shape can facilitate the connection between the movable connecting block and the tensioning handle.

[0011] Further, a belt pressing rod abutting against the belt is arranged on each side of the driving belt pulley. In this way, after one belt pressing rod is arranged on each side of the driving belt pulley, the belt at the driving belt pulley can be pressed.

[0012] A branch shredding machine comprises a belt tensioning assembly, an engine and a shredding mechanism; the belt tensioning assembly is as described above, the shredding mechanism comprises a mounting box body and a cutter shaft arranged in the mounting box body, and the engine is fixedly mounted on the mounting box body; the driving belt pulley is connected with the output shaft of the engine, the driven belt pulley is connected with the cutter shaft, and one end of the connecting rod mechanism is mounted on the engine box body and the other end is mounted on the mounting box body.

In this way, the engine 1 and the working machine are connected through the belt transmission mechanism, the tensioning assembly is arranged in the belt transmission mechanism, the tensioning pulley 7 is installed on the swing arm 6, and when the engine 1 is started, the swing arm 6 is driven to rotate through the connecting rod mechanism 5, the position of the tensioning pulley 7 on the swing arm 6 changes, the tensioning pulley 7 moves away from the belt 4, the belt 4 is loosened, the engine 1 and the working machine are not connected in transmission, and the engine 1 is not loaded when starting, so that the engine 1 is more labor-saving when starting under no-load, the improvement of the existing mechanism is relatively small, and the improvement cost is relatively low. After the engine 1 is started, when the working machine needs to operate, the swing arm 6 is reversely rotated through the connecting rod mechanism 5, the tensioning pulley 7 on the swing arm 6 moves to the side of the belt 4, approaches and abuts against the belt 4, the belt 4 is tensioned, the engine 1 and the working machine are connected in transmission, and the working machine operates under the driving of the belt transmission mechanism.
