Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of constant force support technology, specifically to a torque balancing mechanism with constant force output. Background Technology
[0002] Most industrial ejector spring mechanisms on the market have varying spring forces that change with the stroke. Traditional springs generate unstable forces due to changes in their own state during operation and can only handle compression and tension. The unstable tension and compression forces of common springs can affect the accuracy and efficiency of equipment. In practical applications, some situations require a constant support force to balance torque and reduce load.
[0003] For example, when a linear motor is used vertically without an external holding device, the traditional approach is to select a linear motor with a large thrust margin or add ordinary springs (including pneumatic springs, hydraulic springs, etc.) to compensate for the additional load caused by gravity. This not only increases system cost, but also results in a large difference in the actual output force required when the load rises and falls, leading to increased thrust fluctuations, limited operating speed, reduced positioning accuracy, prolonged settling time, and loss of high-speed response performance.
[0004] Therefore, during small-range displacement, ordinary springs or tension springs can balance the torque, but during large-stroke displacement, the change in the elastic force of ordinary springs or tension springs will have an adverse effect on the actuator.

This device can be installed at a location where torque balancing is required, providing stable support for the connected mechanism. During operation, the push shaft is pressed down to its lowest point, and then the end of the push shaft is connected to the location requiring support. Under the action of the internal constant force spring, the push shaft will continuously output a constant thrust, facilitating the movement of objects.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two support columns, symmetrically arranged inside the housing. Each support column is connected to a constant force spring, and the contraction end of the constant force spring is detachably connected to both sides of the connecting block via screws.
[0012] Furthermore, a linear bearing is provided at the intersection of the push shaft and the housing, and the push shaft is slidably connected to the middle of the linear bearing.
[0013] Furthermore, the top of the housing has a concave mounting groove, and the four corners of the concave mounting groove have threaded holes, which are used to detachably connect the protective cover via screws.
[0014] Furthermore, the two housings are placed side by side, and their tops are connected by a single protective cover, which has a connection hole for bolting to the threaded hole.
[0015] Furthermore, the housing has mounting holes.

[0018] This utility model is reasonably designed. This device provides a continuous and stable thrust through a constant force spring, ensuring a constant torque output.

[0019] The combination of block and sliding track design and the use of linear bearings ensures the accuracy of linear motion of the drive shaft, avoids offset, and improves the reliability and service life of the mechanism.
[0020] The modular design allows for adjustment of the support force by increasing or decreasing the number of housing shells, flexibly adapting to different load requirements.

[0033] See attached document Figure 1-3 A torque balancing mechanism with constant force output includes a housing 1, a push shaft 2 slidably connected inside the housing 1, a connecting block 3 connected to the rear end of the push shaft 2, a support column 4 at the bottom of the housing 1, a constant force spring 5 connected to the support column 4, the retracted end of the constant force spring 5 being detachably connected to the connecting block 3, and a protective cover 6 detachably connected to the top of the housing 1. This device can be installed at the location where torque balancing is required, providing stable support for the connected mechanism. During operation, the push shaft 2 is pressed down to the bottom, and then the end of the push shaft 2 is connected to the location requiring support. Under the action of the internal constant force spring 5, the push shaft 2 will continuously output a constant thrust, facilitating the movement of objects. This device ensures a continuous and constant torque output through the constant tension provided by the constant force spring 5, making it particularly suitable for vertical movement scenarios.
[0034] The lower part of the connecting block 3 is symmetrically provided with concave grooves 31, and the concave grooves 31 are matched and connected to the sliding track 32. The sliding track 32 is located at the bottom of the receiving housing 1. The cooperation between the concave grooves 31 and the sliding track 32 can ensure that the connecting block 3 moves along a straight line.
[0035] There are two support columns 4, symmetrically arranged inside the housing 1. The support columns 4 are respectively connected to constant force springs 5. The contraction ends of the constant force springs 5 are detachably connected to both sides of the connecting block 3 by screws. In this embodiment, two constant force springs 5 are set to provide constant pressure to the connecting block 3 at the same time. Of course, depending on the actual use, one or more constant force springs 5 can also be set. The end of the constant force spring 5 is designed with a connecting hole 61, which is fixed to both sides of the connecting block 3 by bolts, so as to provide constant tension to the connecting block 3.
[0036] A linear bearing 7 is provided at the intersection of the push shaft 2 and the housing 1. The push shaft 2 is slidably connected in the middle of the linear bearing 7. The push shaft 2 passes through the linear bearing 7 from inside the housing 1 to ensure the linear movement of the push shaft 2 and prevent misalignment.
[0037] The top of the housing 1 has a concave mounting groove 11, and the four corners of the concave mounting groove 11 have threaded holes 12. The threaded holes 12 are detachably connected to the protective cover 6 by screws. The concave mounting groove 11 facilitates the quick positioning and installation of the protective cover 6. The protective cover can limit the internal connecting block 3 and also prevent external impurities from entering the housing 1.
[0038] Two housing shells 1 are placed side by side, and their tops are connected by a single protective cover 6. The protective cover 6 has a connecting hole 61 that is bolted to the threaded hole 12. Multiple housing shells 1 can be placed side by side to provide different levels of support. In this embodiment, two housing shells 1 are arranged side by side. Of course, different numbers of housing shells 1 can be connected by the protective cover 6 according to the required support force.
[0039] The housing 1 has mounting holes 8, through which the device can be installed in the desired position.
