Description
Technical Field

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0020] In addition, to clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application, the following are also defined: Figure 1 The top, bottom, left, right, front, and back sides are shown.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a toothed belt tensioning device, which includes: a fixing member 1, a first tensioning rod 2, a first wheel frame 3, and a first adjusting frame 6.
[0022] Specifically, the fixing member 1 is used to fix the tensioning device to the outer steel ring 200; the first tensioning rod 2 is installed at the front end of the fixing member 1 and extends in the front-rear direction. The first wheel frame 3 is installed on the first tensioning rod 2 and extends in the left-right direction. The first tensioning wheel 4 is rotatably installed at one end of the top surface of the first wheel frame 3, and the first pulley 5 is rotatably installed at the other end. The first adjusting frame 6 is movably installed on the first tensioning rod 2 in the front-rear direction and is located in front of the first wheel frame 3. The second pulley 7 is rotatably installed on the top surface of the first adjusting frame 6. The first pulley 5 and the second pulley 7 are both toothed pulleys and can mesh with the toothed surface of the toothed belt 100 respectively. The toothed belt 100 is wound around the first tensioning wheel 4, the second pulley 7, the outer speed change plate, and the first pulley 5 in sequence. The movement of the first adjusting frame 6 is used to adjust the tension of the toothed belt 100.
[0023] This device effectively achieves precise adjustment of the toothed belt tension by rationally arranging the first tensioning pulley 4, the first pulley 5, and the second pulley 7, and combining them with the adjustable first adjusting frame 6. Simultaneously, the toothed pulley structure enhances the meshing performance between the toothed belt 100 and the pulley, reducing the risk of slippage and minimizing pulley wear. It is particularly suitable for applications involving frequent equipment start-ups and shutdowns or significant changes in operating conditions.
[0024] More specifically, the bottom of the first adjustment frame 6 is provided with a locking element 61 for fixing the first adjustment frame 6 to the first tensioning rod 2. By setting the locking element 61, the first adjustment frame 6 can be firmly locked after adjustment, preventing loosening under long-term operation or dynamic load, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the tensioning structure. At the same time, it also reduces the maintenance needs of frequent manual reset and adjustment, improving the overall ease of use and maintenance efficiency.
[0025] Furthermore, the first adjusting frame 6 is provided with a fine-tuning part 62 for adjusting the distance between the first adjusting frame 6 and the first wheel frame 3, and the fine-tuning part 62 is sleeved on the first tensioning rod 2. Rotating the fine-tuning part 62 can realize high-precision movement adjustment of the position of the first adjusting frame 6 on the first tensioning rod 2, which significantly improves the accuracy and repeatability of the tension control of the toothed belt.
[0026] Furthermore, the fastener 1 is an open clamp structure that snaps onto the surface of the outer steel ring 200, thereby enabling quick assembly and disassembly of the tensioning device and improving construction and maintenance efficiency.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the left end of the first wheel frame 3 includes a first mounting hole 31 and a second mounting hole 32 from front to back, and the right end includes a third mounting hole 33 and a fourth mounting hole 34 from front to back. When the toothed belt 100 enters the tensioning device from the right side, the first tensioning wheel 4 is installed in the third mounting hole 33, the first pulley 5 is installed in the second mounting hole 32, and the second pulley 7 is basically located to the left of the first tensioning rod 2. When the toothed belt 100 enters the tensioning device from the left side, the first tensioning wheel 4 is installed in the first mounting hole 31, the first pulley 5 is installed in the fourth mounting hole 34, and the second pulley 7 is basically located to the right of the first tensioning rod 2. By setting four mounting holes in different positions and flexibly switching them according to the different entry directions of the toothed belt 100, the device can achieve bidirectional adaptability, significantly improving its versatility in various equipment or transmission layouts. This design can achieve tensioning arrangements under different transmission paths without modifying the core structure, which is beneficial to reducing manufacturing costs and inventory complexity, and enhancing the modularity and standardization of the product. It also improves assembly efficiency and maintenance convenience, making it particularly useful in situations where equipment space is limited or wiring paths change frequently.
[0028] like Figure 4As shown, bearings 8 are respectively installed inside the first pulley 5, the second pulley 7, and the first tensioning pulley 4. A short shaft 9 is vertically positioned in the middle of the bearing 8. The first pulley 5 and the first tensioning pulley 4 are rotatably mounted on the first wheel frame 3 via the bearings 8 and the short shaft 9, respectively. The second pulley 7 is rotatably mounted on the first adjusting frame 6 via the bearings 8 and the short shaft 9. The combination of bearings 8 and short shaft 9 significantly improves the rotational smoothness and wear resistance of the wheel body, maintaining system stability under high-speed, long-term operation conditions. This structure not only reduces the frictional power consumption of the wheel and axle system but also reduces the mechanical failure rate, thereby improving the transmission efficiency and lifespan of the entire tensioning system.
[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, above the first tensioning rod 2, the tensioning device further includes: a second tensioning rod 20 arranged parallel to the first tensioning rod 2; a second wheel frame 30 arranged corresponding to the first wheel frame 3, the second wheel frame 30 being mounted on the second tensioning rod 20; the second wheel frame 30 being provided with a second tensioning wheel 40 corresponding to the first tensioning wheel 4 and a third pulley 50 corresponding to the first pulley 5; a second adjusting frame 60 arranged corresponding to the first adjusting frame 6, the second adjusting frame 60 being mounted on the second tensioning rod 20; the second adjusting frame 60 being provided with... The device includes a fourth pulley 70 corresponding to the second pulley 7; it also includes two connecting rods 91 and a support rod 92. The connecting rods 91 are vertically installed in two slots among the first mounting hole 31, the second mounting hole 32, the third mounting hole 33, and the fourth mounting hole 34, for connecting the first wheel frame 3 and the second wheel frame 30. The support rod 92 is vertically positioned in front of the first tensioning rod 2 and the second tensioning rod 20, with its top connected to the front end of the second tensioning rod 20 and its bottom connected to the front end of the first tensioning rod 2. This configuration allows for simultaneous synchronous transmission and independent tensioning of the two toothed belts 100, greatly improving the functional adaptability of the tensioning device. It is particularly suitable for industrial equipment with master / slave transmission channels or dual output shaft systems. The compact double-layer structure effectively utilizes vertical space, increasing the load-bearing capacity and transmission efficiency of the unit without increasing lateral occupancy.
