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

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a chain tensioning device includes a tensioning seat 1 and a tensioning component 2. The tensioning component 2 is detachably mounted on the tensioning seat 1. The tensioning seat 1 includes an adjusting bolt 12. The tensioning component 2 includes a tensioning wheel 22 and a tensioning shaft 21. The tensioning wheel 22 is sleeved on the tensioning shaft 21. The adjusting bolt 12 is connected to the tensioning shaft 21.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the tensioning seat 1 also includes a seat body 11, the top wall of which is provided with a first threaded hole 13, and the adjusting bolt 12 cooperates with the first threaded hole 13.

[0027] The tensioning seat 1 is located near the slack side of the chain. The seat body 11 is rectangular and hollow inside. A first threaded hole 13 is provided at the top. The adjusting bolt 12 is screwed in and out of the first threaded hole 13. The bottom position of the adjusting bolt 12 moves up and down relative to the seat body 11.

[0028] The tensioning shaft 21 includes a shaft 211 and a shaft cap 212. The shaft cap 212 is disposed at the end of the shaft 211. The shaft cap 212 is provided with a second threaded hole 213. The adjusting bolt 12 is engaged with the second threaded hole 213.

[0029] The adjusting bolt 12 is screwed into or out of the first threaded hole 13 to drive the tensioning shaft 21 to move up and down along the adjusting bolt 12, so that the tensioning wheel 22 mounted on the tensioning shaft 21 also moves up and down, and the wrap angle of the chain engaged with the tensioning wheel 22 is adjusted according to the tightness of the chain. When the chain is loose with a small amplitude, the adjusting bolt 12 only needs to be screwed into a small depth, and when the chain is loose with a large amplitude, the adjusting bolt 12 needs to be screwed into a large depth, so as to achieve the purpose of tensioning the chain by the tensioning wheel 22, and the structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and the production efficiency is greatly improved.

[0030] The seat body 11 is provided with a sliding hole 14, which is arranged on the side surface of the seat body 11 close to the tensioning wheel 22, and the diameter of the sliding hole 14 is greater than the diameter of the shaft 211, and the width of the sliding hole 14 is less than the diameter of the shaft cap 212.

[0031] The sliding hole 14 is in a long strip shape, and when the adjusting bolt 12 is screwed in or out, the shaft 211 of the tensioning shaft 21 moves up and down in the sliding hole 14, thereby driving the tensioning wheel 22 to move up and down to tension the chain. In order to enable the shaft 211 of the tensioning shaft 21 to move freely in the sliding hole 14 without generating friction, the width of the sliding hole 14 is greater than the diameter of the shaft 211, but in order to prevent the tensioning shaft 21 from being separated from the sliding hole 14, the width of the sliding hole 14 is less than the diameter of the shaft cap 212, and the shaft cap 212 plays a role of fixing and limiting.

[0032] The seat body 11 is provided with a mounting hole 15, which is arranged above the sliding hole 14 and communicates with the sliding hole 14, and the diameter of the mounting hole 15 is greater than the diameter of the shaft cap 212.

[0033] There are two ways to install the tensioning component 2 on the seat body 11. One is to first pass the shaft 211 through the sliding hole 14, then install the tensioning wheel 22, and then connect the adjusting bolt 12 with the shaft cap 212 on the tensioning shaft 21. This installation method needs to be installed on the seat body 11, which limits the installation space and reduces the work efficiency.

[0034] There is another installation method in the application, which is convenient and fast. The tensioning wheel 22 is first installed on the tensioning shaft 21, and then the entire tensioning component 2 is installed on the tensioning seat 1. Specifically, the shaft cap 212 is passed through the mounting hole 15, then the adjusting bolt 12 is connected with the second threaded hole 213 on the shaft cap 212, and then the adjusting bolt 12 is screwed in. At this time, the side surface of the seat body 11 close to the tensioning wheel 22 is just clamped between the shaft cap 212 and the tensioning wheel tube 24, realizing the process of installing the tensioning component 2 on the tensioning seat 1, which is simple and efficient.

[0035] As Figure 3As shown, the tensioning component 2 further comprises a deep groove ball bearing 23, which is arranged between the tensioning shaft 21 and the tensioning wheel 22.

[0036] The deep groove ball bearing 23 is arranged between the shaft 211 and the tensioning wheel 22, so that the tensioning wheel 22 has small friction when rotating, and the work of the driving wheel and the driven wheel is reduced as much as possible.

[0037] The tensioning component 2 further comprises a tensioning wheel interval pipe 24, a flat washer 25, a standard elastic washer 26 and a nut 27 arranged in sequence on the shaft 211. The tensioning wheel interval pipe 24 is arranged at one end close to the shaft cap 212. The deep groove ball bearing 23 is arranged between the tensioning wheel interval pipe 24 and the tensioning wheel 22. The side wall of the seat body 11 close to the tensioning wheel 22 is clamped between the tensioning wheel interval pipe 24 and the shaft cap 212.

[0038] The tensioning wheel interval pipe 24 is stepped. One end of the deep groove ball bearing 23 is clamped at the step of the tensioning wheel interval pipe 24. The step limits one end of the deep groove ball bearing 23. The other end of the deep groove ball bearing 23 is arranged in sequence with the flat washer 25, the standard elastic washer 26 and the nut 27, which fasten and limit the other end of the deep groove ball bearing 23. Therefore, the deep groove ball bearing 23 is limited on the shaft 211 and is not easy to shake.

[0039] The tensioning component 2 further comprises two hole elastic retaining rings 28 arranged on both sides of the deep groove ball bearing 23.

[0040] The tensioning wheel 22 comprises a nylon tensioning wheel. The nylon tensioning wheel has good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, small noise, low price, good adaptability and can be applied to various environments.

[0041] The tensioning wheel interval pipe 24 comprises a nylon tensioning wheel interval pipe. The nylon tensioning wheel interval pipe has good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, small noise, low price, good adaptability and can be applied to various environments.

[0042] The specific working principle is as follows: Figure 4As shown, when the transmission chain between the driving wheel and the driven wheel is loose, first set the tensioning seat 1 on the loose side of the chain, the tensioning seat 1 is arranged close to the driving wheel, then set the tensioning wheel 22, the pipe, the flat washer 25, the standard elastic washer 26, the nut 27 on the tensioning shaft 21 in sequence, then set the deep groove ball bearing 23 on the shaft 211, then set the tensioning wheel 22 on the deep groove ball bearing 23, the shaft cap 212 is clamped on the seat body 11 through the mounting hole 15 and the shaft 211, and is slid downward along the sliding hole 14, and is slid to the position where the tensioning wheel 22 is just engaged with the chain on the loose side, then screw the adjusting bolt 12 into the first threaded hole 13, and continue to screw the adjusting bolt 12 into the second threaded hole 213 until the top nut of the adjusting bolt 12 is in contact with the seat body 11, so as to fix the position of the tensioning shaft 21, so that the tensioning wheel 22 can be engaged with the chain on the loose side, when the chain is loose more than before after being used for a period of time, the adjusting bolt 12 is unscrewed from the second threaded hole 213 of the shaft cap 212, the tensioning shaft 21 is continuously moved downward along the sliding hole 14 until the tensioning wheel 22 is just engaged with the chain on the loose side, then the adjusting bolt 12 is screwed into the second threaded hole 213 again until the top nut of the adjusting bolt 12 is in contact with the seat body 11, so as to fix the position of the tensioning shaft 21, so that the tensioning wheel 22 can be engaged with the chain on the loose side, thereby achieving the purpose of tensioning the chain.
