Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should be within the scope of protection of the present application.

These terms are mainly used to better describe the present application and its embodiments, and are not used to limit the indicated devices, elements or components to have a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0037] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," "connection," "linking," and "socketing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] A safety locking mechanism for a large-size frame-type rotary balance, such as Figures 1-10 As shown, the mechanism includes: an upper locking support 1, a lower locking support 2, a threaded locking pin 3, a threaded locking cap 4, a limiting top cover 5, and fastening screws 6. The technical focus of this solution is on the functional realization of the locking mechanism under different usage conditions and the reasonable control of the gap between the threaded locking pin and the threaded locking cap. The assembly relationship between the components is as follows: the upper locking support is connected to the balance floating frame, the lower locking support is connected to the balance fixed frame, the threaded locking pin 3 is screwed into the threaded locking cap 4, and the threaded locking cap 4 and the top cover 5 are fixed to the lower locking support 2 using fastening screws.

[0039] Its operation is as follows: The frame-type rotary balance has two operating states: a loose state and a locked state. In the loose state, use an Allen wrench to turn the threaded locking pin 3 clockwise all the way until the threaded end face contacts the limit cover and tightens it. In the locked state, turn the threaded locking pin 3 clockwise all the way until the threaded end face contacts the lower locking support 2 and tightens it.

[0040] A method for protecting a balance using the aforementioned safety locking mechanism, the method comprising the following steps:

[0041] Based on the structural dimensions of the rotor balance, the upper locking support 1 and the lower locking support 2 are designed to ensure that the two holes into which the threaded locking pin 3 is inserted are concentric. When the threaded locking pin 3 is screwed in to the right to the bottom, there is a gap between the end face of the threaded locking pin 3 and the lower locking support 2. When the locking pin 3 is screwed in to the left to the bottom, there is a certain gap between the bottom cylinder and the upper locking support 1 (the gap is greater than the deformation of the rotor balance during operation). The threaded locking cap 4 and the top cover 5 are fixed on the lower locking support 5 with screws. The safety locking pin has a certain anti-loosening effect when tightened and can be visually checked to see if it is locked.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
