Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sprockets, and in particular to a sprocket that is easy to disassemble and maintain. Background Technology
[0002] Chain drive is a widely used mechanical transmission and one of the main forms of power transmission. It consists of a chain and driving and driven sprockets. The sprockets have specially shaped transmission teeth, and power is transmitted through the cooperation of the sprocket teeth and chain links. Chain drives have many advantages: compared to belt drives, there is no elastic slippage or slippage; the average transmission ratio is accurate; operation is reliable; and efficiency is high. They can transmit large amounts of power, have strong overload capacity, and have smaller transmission dimensions under the same working conditions. They require less tension and exert less pressure on the shaft. They can operate in harsh environments such as high temperature, humidity, dust, and pollution. To facilitate disassembly and maintenance, split-type sprockets are used, allowing for quick and easy installation and removal.
[0003] Existing patent CN215596350U discloses a "Sprocket for Easy Disassembly and Maintenance." This patent utilizes an assembly positioning groove and a positioning block to quickly align the transmission gear teeth, resulting in high positioning efficiency. However, in this patent, the assembly positioning groove and positioning block use a sliding snap-fit method for positioning and alignment. When bolting is applied after alignment, sliding displacement can easily occur, causing misalignment of the transmission gear teeth. This affects the normal connection and transmission between the chain and the sprocket, and after prolonged use, it can lead to excessive chain wear and rapid damage, increasing operating costs to some extent.

[0016] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0017] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a sprocket that is easy to disassemble and maintain includes a first sprocket body 1 and a second sprocket body 2. Both the first sprocket body 1 and the second sprocket body 2 are provided with transmission gear teeth 3. The first sprocket body 1 is provided with a first mounting sleeve 4, and the second sprocket body 2 is provided with a second mounting sleeve 5. Both the first sprocket body 1 and the second sprocket body 2 are provided with assembly positioning grooves 8, and positioning components 9 are provided within the assembly positioning grooves 8. Mounting connecting blocks 6 are connected to the first mounting sleeve 4 and the second mounting sleeve 5, and mounting connecting blocks 6 are provided with mounting through holes 7. Connecting bolts 10 are provided in the mounting through holes 7 on the mounting connecting blocks 6, and locking nuts 11 are provided at the ends of the connecting bolts 10. Connecting keyways 12 are formed on the second sprocket body 2 and the second mounting sleeve 5.
[0018] The transmission gear teeth 3 are arranged in a circular array on the first sprocket body 1 and the second sprocket body 2, ensuring smooth transmission. Using the first mounting sleeve 4 and the second mounting sleeve 5, along with the mounting connecting block 6, connecting bolt 10, and locking nut 11, they facilitate easy disassembly and maintenance, offering high operational convenience. Two locking nuts 11 are provided at the end of the connecting bolt 10, providing a locking and anti-loosening effect, preventing the locking nuts 11 from loosening due to sprocket rotation, ensuring connection stability, and resulting in a well-performing spliced sprocket. The connecting keyway 12 ensures a stable connection between the entire sprocket and the rotating shaft, guaranteeing transmission stability.
[0019] When installing the sprocket, the second sprocket body 2 is set onto the rotating shaft through the second mounting sleeve 5, ensuring that the spline in the keyway on the drive shaft is aligned with the connecting keyway 12 on the second sprocket body 2. A positioning component 9 is set in the assembly positioning groove 8 on the second sprocket body 2. Then, the first sprocket body 1 is set onto the drive shaft through the first mounting sleeve 4. During this process, ensure that the first mounting sleeve 4 and the second mounting sleeve 5 are aligned and joined together. The other half of the positioning component 9 is connected to the assembly positioning groove 8 on the first sprocket body 1. At the same time, the mounting connecting blocks 6 on the first mounting sleeve 4 and the second mounting sleeve 5 correspond, and the mounting through holes 7 are aligned. The connecting bolt 10 is passed through the mounting through hole 7 on the mounting connecting block 6. A lock nut 11 is set at the end of the connecting bolt 10, thereby completing the sprocket installation.
[0020] During sprocket operation, the sprocket rotates with the drive shaft. The first sprocket body 1 and the second sprocket body 2 rotate with the transmission gear teeth 3, which drive the chain to move, achieving chain drive. During sprocket rotation, the locking effect of the positioning component 9, in conjunction with the connecting bolt 10, increases the sprocket's installation stability. When sprocket disassembly and maintenance are required, remove the locking nut 11 at the end of the connecting bolt 10, separate the first sprocket body 1 and the second sprocket body 2, and remove them from the drive shaft for inspection. After maintenance, reinstall the sprocket as described above for continued use.
[0021] According to the above implementation scheme, the positioning component 9 includes a positioning block 901, a circular hole 902, a snap-fit hole 903, and a rubber post 904. The circular hole 902 is formed on the positioning block 901, the snap-fit hole 903 is disposed in the circular hole 902 on the positioning block 901, and the rubber post 904 is snapped into the inside of the snap-fit hole 903. The positioning component 9 also includes a clamping spring 905, a clamping block 906, and a through hole 907. The clamping spring 905 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 906, and the end of the clamping spring 905 is fixedly connected to the rubber post 904. The through hole 907 is formed on the clamping block 906.
[0022] Before installing the sprocket, the positioning component 9 is assembled first. The rubber post 904 is placed in the round hole 902 on the positioning block 901. The push rod passes through the through hole 907 on the clamping block 906 and contacts the rubber post 904, applying a pushing force to the rubber post 904 so that the rubber post 904 moves to the snap-fit hole 903 for snap-fit. At this time, the clamping spring 905 is located in the round hole 902, and the clamping block 906 is fixed at the end of the clamping spring 905. When installing the sprockets, after the second sprocket body 2 is placed on the drive shaft, the positioning block 901 is inserted into the assembly positioning groove 8 on the second sprocket body 2. When merging the two sprocket bodies, the other half of the positioning block 901 is inserted into the assembly positioning groove 8 on the first sprocket body 1. After the sprocket bodies are merged, the clamping block 906 moves into the round hole 902, and the clamping spring 905 is in a compressed state. Under the action of the clamping spring 905, the clamping block 906 applies a clamping force to the inner wall of the assembly positioning groove 8, which, in conjunction with the connecting bolt 10, ensures a stable connection of the sprocket bodies. When disassembling the sprocket bodies, the two sprocket bodies can be quickly opened under the action of the clamping spring 905, facilitating the disassembly process.
[0023] It should be noted that by creating mounting and positioning grooves 8 on the first sprocket body 1 and the second sprocket body 2, and using the positioning component 9, positioning can be achieved through a plug-in method. This ensures positioning accuracy, prevents displacement during subsequent tightening, effectively aligns the position of the transmission gear teeth 3, ensures precise connection between the chain and sprocket, and eliminates excessive chain wear caused by uneven transmission gear teeth 3, thus extending the chain's service life and reducing operating costs. The positioning component 9 includes detachable rubber posts 904, clamping springs 905, and clamping blocks 906. When using the positioning component 9 for positioning and connection, the clamping springs 905 and clamping blocks 906 apply a clamping action. Combined with the connecting bolts 10 and locking nuts 11, this increases the stability of the sprocket bodies after assembly. Furthermore, after removing the connecting bolts 10, the clamping springs 905 allow for quick opening of the two sprocket bodies, facilitating disassembly. The rubber posts 904 allow for quick disassembly and installation, and facilitate the replacement of the clamping springs 905.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
