[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The torque protection device for the sludge scraper drive gearbox includes a gearbox 1. A protective cover 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the output shaft of the gearbox 1. A protective shaft 3 is in contact with the side of the protective cover 2 away from the gearbox 1. A support plate 4 is installed on the outside of the protective shaft 3 via a bearing. An expansion mechanism 5 is provided on the gearbox 1. A grooved ring 7 is fixedly connected inside the protective cover 2. A fixing strip 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the protective shaft 3. A connecting rod 9 is slidably connected inside the fixing strip 8. A snap-fit ​​plate 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 9 away from the grooved ring 7. An arc seat 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 9 near the grooved ring 7. A spring 12 is provided on the outside of the connecting rod 9. A fixing cover 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the protective shaft 3. An inclined block 14 is slidably connected inside the fixing cover 13. A spring 2 15 is provided inside the fixing cover 13.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 A coupling 6 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the protective shaft 3. The arc seat 11 is engaged with the groove ring 7. The coupling 6 can connect to the input shaft of the sludge scraper. One end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​plate 10, and the other end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the fixing strip 8. The spring 12 can automatically reset the snap-fit ​​plate 10 through its elastic force. One end of the spring 2 15 is fixedly connected to the fixing cover 13, and the other end of the spring 2 15 is fixedly connected to the inclined block 14. The inclined block 14 is slidably connected to the snap-fit ​​plate 10. The spring 2 15 can support the inclined block 14 through its elastic force.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 The extension mechanism 5 includes a fixed frame 51. The fixed frame 51 is fixedly connected to the outside of the gearbox 1. A screw 52 is installed inside the fixed frame 51 through a bearing. A guide frame 53 is fixedly connected to the outside of the support plate 4. The screw 52 can drive the support plate 4 to move through the threaded engagement with the support plate 4. The screw 52 and the support plate 4 are connected by threads.

[0024] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: When the rotational torque of the protective shaft 3 is too large, the protective cover 2 rotates. Due to the excessive torque of the protective shaft 3, the groove ring 7 inside the protective cover 2 causes the arc seat 11 to move downward. During the downward movement of the arc seat 11, the connecting rod 9 can drive the snap plate 10 to move downward. During the downward movement of the snap plate 10, the inclined surface of the inclined block 14 can push the inclined block 14 to move into the interior of the fixed cover 13 and compress the second spring 15. When the snap plate 10 moves past the inclined block 14, the originally compressed spring 12 is reset. The spring 12 can use its elasticity to drive the arc seat 11 to disengage from the groove ring 7, thereby allowing the protective cover 2 to rotate freely, avoiding damage to the gearbox 1 and motor due to excessive torque.

[0025] After the arc seat 11 is overloaded, turn the knob 54. The knob 54 drives the screw 52 to rotate. During the rotation, the screw 52 can drive the support plate 4 to move through the threaded engagement with the support plate 4. During the movement, the support plate 4 can drive the protective shaft 3 to disengage from the protective cover 2. After the arc seat 11 is moved out of the inside of the protective cover 2, the arc seat 11 can be easily reset.
