Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to tensioning devices, and in particular to a tensioning device for a transmission toothed belt pulley assembly of a carton packaging machine. Background Technology
[0002] During production, the smooth operation of the toothed belt in the cigarette pack input drive ensures the synchronous conveying of the cigarette packs in the upper and lower transport channels. The tension of the toothed belt in the cigarette pack input drive should be maintained at 155 Hz. However, in actual production, due to the long length of the cigarette pack conveyor belt, the toothed belt in the cigarette pack input drive experiences a large load when driving the conveyor belt. As the operating time increases, the tension arm of the tensioning pulley loosens, causing the toothed belt in the cigarette pack input drive to be unable to maintain the tension frequency required for operation. Consequently, the toothed belt in the cigarette pack input drive slips and skips teeth on the pulley, accelerating the wear of the toothed belt in the cigarette pack input drive. However, since its operation, the toothed belt of the cigarette pack input drive has had a service life of only 2 weeks, requiring frequent replacement to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. This leads to a waste of spare parts, and replacing the toothed belt is also quite troublesome. It takes 20 minutes to replace or repair the toothed belt, requiring two people to work together. One person uses a pry bar to lift the tensioning arm to tighten the toothed belt, while the other person tightens the locking bolt of the tensioning arm. However, using a pry bar to tighten the toothed belt cannot control the tension of the belt. Excessive tension will cause the toothed belt to wear more quickly, while insufficient tension will cause the belt to slip.
[0003] Slippage and slack in the toothed belt of the cigarette pack input drive affect the synchronous conveying of the cigarette pack conveyor belt, causing the cigarette packs to be conveyed at varying speeds. This leads to cigarette packs getting stuck in the next process, resulting in a higher scrap rate. Repairing these malfunctions causes significant time loss, impacting production efficiency. If not detected in time, defective products entering the market will damage the company's image. Therefore, to reduce material and time consumption and improve product quality and equipment efficiency, there is an urgent need to design a tensioning device for the toothed belt of the cigarette pack input drive in the ZB48A carton packaging machine. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing tensioning devices by providing a tensioning device for the transmission toothed belt pulley assembly of a carton packaging machine.
[0005] To achieve the objective of this invention, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0006] This utility model discloses a tensioning device for a transmission toothed pulley assembly of a carton packaging machine. It includes: a pulley mounting arm, fastening screws, a bracket, adjusting bolts, and a locking nut. The pulley assembly is mounted on the tensioning device of the transmission toothed pulley assembly of the carton packaging machine. The bracket includes a base plate and a side arm. The side arm is fixed to the base plate and has several adjusting holes along its length. A bolt hole is formed in the base plate. A shaft hole is formed at the upper part of the pulley mounting arm, and an adjusting hole (strip-shaped) is formed directly below the shaft hole. The adjusting bolt passes through the bolt hole in the base plate and, through the locking nut, fixes the lower end of the pulley mounting arm to the longitudinal direction of the bracket. At least two fastening screws pass through the adjusting grooves of the pulley mounting arm and are fixed to at least two adjusting holes in the side arm. The pulley assembly is fixed to the shaft hole of the pulley mounting arm by the locking screws.
[0007] This utility model discloses a tensioning device for a transmission toothed pulley assembly of a carton packaging machine, wherein: the pulley assembly includes: a pulley, bearings, snap rings, spacers, bolts, and a pulley shaft. The pulley shaft passes through the pulley, and one end of it is fixed to the shaft hole of the pulley mounting arm by a locking screw. Two bearings, two snap rings, and a spacer are installed in the space between the pulley shaft and the pulley. The spacer is fitted onto the pulley shaft. Snap rings are installed on the pulley shaft at both ends of the spacer. A bearing is installed in the space on both sides of the snap rings. The outer ring of the bearing is tightly fitted with the pulley, and the inner ring of the bearing is tightly fitted with the pulley shaft. The other end of the pulley shaft is fixed to the inner ring of the corresponding bearing by bolts.
[0008] The present invention relates to a tensioning device for a transmission toothed pulley assembly of a carton packaging machine, wherein the pulley assembly further includes a washer, which is installed between the bearing and the bolt on the outer side of the pulley.
[0009] The present invention relates to a tensioning device for a transmission toothed belt pulley assembly of a carton packaging machine, wherein a slot is further provided on the base plate.
[0010] This utility model discloses a tensioning device for a toothed belt pulley assembly in a carton packaging machine. It effectively avoids the problems of easy wear and frequent cigarette clamping caused by insufficient tension of the toothed belt, significantly reduces the frequency of spare parts replacement and equipment downtime, avoids quality defects, improves product quality stability, reduces the labor intensity of operators, and has a simple structure, low cost, and is easy to use.
[0011] The tensioning device of the transmission toothed belt pulley assembly of the present invention for a carton packaging machine solves the following problems of the prior art:
[0012] 1. In actual production, due to the large load on the tobacco pack conveyor belt, the original tensioning arm loosens after a period of use and cannot maintain the tension of the toothed belt. As a result, the toothed belt of the tobacco pack input drive skips teeth and slips on the pulley, which causes the toothed belt of the tobacco pack input drive to wear more quickly and deform and fail.
[0013] 2. Replacing or repairing the toothed belt of the cigarette pack input drive takes 20 minutes. Two people work together: one person uses a pry bar to lift the tensioning arm to tighten the toothed belt of the cigarette pack input drive, and the other person tightens the locking bolt of the tensioning arm. However, using a pry bar to tighten the toothed belt cannot control the tension of the belt. Too tight will cause the toothed belt to wear more quickly, and insufficient tension will cause the belt to slip.
[0014] 3. This design enables adjustment of the toothed belt tensioner and provides a self-locking function to prevent the tensioner from loosening. It is easy for one person to maintain and operate, extends the service life of spare parts, avoids defective products, and improves the production efficiency of the equipment.
