Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a coupling technical field more specifically to a kind of coupling internal lubricating mechanism. BACKGROUND
[0002] Mechanical parts used to connect two shafts in different mechanisms to rotate together to transmit torque. In high-speed heavy-load power transmission, some couplings also have the functions of buffering, damping and improving the dynamic performance of the shaft system. The coupling is composed of two halves, which are connected with the driving shaft and the driven shaft respectively. Most power machines are connected with working machines through couplings.

However, in the process of frequent start-stop use of the coupling, the lubricating oil is heated due to continuous friction of the coupling. If the temperature of the lubricating oil is too high, it will affect the lubricating performance of the lubricating oil. At present, only the heat dissipation of the coupling itself is relied on, and the heat dissipation effect is limited, which is difficult to meet the use demand.

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The internal lubrication mechanism of the coupling involved in this utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides an internal lubrication mechanism for a coupling, including a first coupling 1 and a second coupling 2. The first coupling 1 and the second coupling 2 are fixedly installed together by mounting bolts 4. A connecting sleeve 3 is fixedly installed at the far end of the first coupling 1 and the second coupling 2. The surface of the connecting sleeve 3 is threaded with a locking bolt 14 for locking the external rotating shaft.
[0026] By setting the locking bolt 14, the two external rotating shafts can be locked and installed with the connecting cylinder 3, thereby achieving the effect of using the first coupling 1 and the second coupling 2 to drive the two external rotating shafts.
[0027] A lubrication reservoir 5 is provided between the first coupling 1 and the second coupling 2, and the lubrication reservoir 5 contains lubricating oil.
[0028] The internal lubrication mechanism of the coupling uses two connecting cylinders 3 to connect to the external driving shaft and driven shaft respectively, and uses the first coupling 1 and the second coupling 2 for transmission. The lubricating oil in the lubrication reservoir 5 lubricates and cools the adjacent surfaces of the first coupling 1 and the second coupling 2.
[0029] The surface of the first coupling 1 is provided with an oil injection hole 16, and the surface of the second coupling 2 is provided with a connecting hole 17. Both the oil injection hole 16 and the connecting hole 17 are connected to the lubrication oil storage cavity 5, and both the surface of the oil injection hole 16 and the connecting hole 17 are threaded with sealing plugs.
[0030] By setting the oil injection hole 16 and the connecting hole 17, after the first coupling 1 and the second coupling 2 are installed, with the connecting hole 17 open, lubricating oil can be quickly added into the lubrication reservoir 5 from the oil injection hole 16. After the oil is added, the oil injection hole 16 and the connecting hole 17 are sealed with sealing plugs respectively.
[0031] The first coupling 1 and the second coupling 2 have an annular groove on the outer ring of the lubrication oil reservoir 5, and a sealing ring 15 is fitted inside the annular groove.
[0032] By setting the sealing ring 15, the lubrication oil reservoir 5 can be sealed to prevent lubricating oil from leaking through the gap.
[0033] The lubrication oil reservoir 5 is equipped with a circulating cooling component for the lubricating oil.
[0034] The circulating cooling assembly includes a spacer 6 fixedly installed at the right end of the central shaft of the first coupling 1 and the left end of the central shaft of the second coupling 2. A central shaft 7 is fixedly installed on the surface of the left spacer 6, and the position of the central shaft 7 coincides with the central axis of the first coupling 1 and the second coupling 2. A central hole for inserting the central shaft 7 is opened at the center of the right spacer 6. A rotating sleeve 8 is provided on the surface of the central shaft 7. A connecting rod 10 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating sleeve 8. A drive block 11 is fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting rod 10. The cross-section of the drive block 11 is rhomboid. A conveying channel 12 is opened on the surface of both the first coupling 1 and the second coupling 2. The conveying channel 12 extends into the interior of the connecting cylinder 3. The inlet end of the conveying channel 12 is located on the outer wall of the spacer 6 and corresponds to the position of the drive block 11. The outlet end of the conveying channel 12 extends into the inner cavity of the spacer 6. An oil return hole 13 is opened on the surface of the spacer 6.
[0035] By setting up a circulating cooling assembly, when the coupling starts to rotate, the central shaft 7 and the rotating sleeve 8 rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod 10 and the drive block 11 to rotate. Under the action of inertia, the lubricating oil is in a stationary state inside the lubrication reservoir 5. A speed difference appears between the lubricating oil and the drive block 11. Under the guidance of the drive block 11 and the separation of the spacer 6, the lubricating oil enters the inside of the conveying channel 12. Subsequently, the lubricating oil enters the inner cavity of the spacer 6 and flows back to the lubrication reservoir 5 from the return oil hole 13. The lubricating oil achieves circulating flow, thereby expanding the flow and heat dissipation path of the lubricating oil without external power, improving the heat dissipation effect of the lubricating oil, and ensuring that the lubricating oil can be used for a long time.
[0036] There are several connecting rods 10, drive blocks 11 and conveying channels 12. Several connecting rods 10 are arranged in a circular array at equal intervals on the outer arc surface of the rotating sleeve 8. Several conveying channels 12 are divided into two groups and are arranged in a circular array at equal intervals on the surfaces of the first coupling 1 and the second coupling 2.
[0037] Furthermore, by having a number of drive blocks 11 and conveying channels 12, the flow path area of the lubricating oil can be ensured, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the lubricating oil.
[0038] The surface of the connecting cylinder 3 is provided with a number of heat dissipation fins 18, which are distributed in a circumferential array at equal intervals on the outer arc surface of the connecting cylinder 3.
[0039] It is worth noting that by setting the heat dissipation fins 18, the contact area between the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 3 and the air can be increased, thereby further improving the heat exchange efficiency between the lubricating oil and the air and enhancing the heat dissipation effect.
[0040] The rotating sleeve 8 is rotatably connected to the surface of the central shaft 7. A torsion spring 9 is sleeved on the surface of the central shaft 7. One end of the torsion spring 9 is fixed to the surface of the central shaft 7, and the other end of the torsion spring 9 is fixed to the surface of the rotating sleeve 8.
[0041] It is worth noting that the internal lubrication mechanism of this coupling, since the rotating sleeve 8 is rotatably connected to the central shaft 7 and the rotating sleeve 8 and the central shaft 7 are connected by a torsion spring 9, at the moment of starting and stopping the coupling, uses the deformation of the torsion spring 9 to buffer the inertia of the rotating sleeve 8, connecting rod 10 and drive block 11, and prolongs the time for the drive block 11 to rotate synchronously with the coupling from a standstill, thereby reducing the probability of the connecting rod 10 and drive block 11 breaking due to inertia.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the accompanying drawings of the embodiments disclosed in this utility model only involve the structures involved in the embodiments disclosed in this utility model. Other structures can refer to the general design. In the absence of conflict, the same embodiment and different embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
