[0030] Although this invention may be described with respect to a particular application or industry, those skilled in the art will recognize its broader applicability. Those skilled in the art will understand that terms such as "above," "below," "upward," "downward," etc., are used to describe the drawings and not to indicate a limitation on the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Any numerical designations such as "first" or "second" are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
[0031] Example: A long-span plum blossom coupling, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the coupling includes a main body 1, bushings 2, connecting sleeves 3, an elastic body 4, screws 5, and expansion sleeves 6. Bushings 2 are provided on opposite sides of the main body 1, and a connecting sleeve 3 connects the two bushings 2. An elastic body 4, with a gear-shaped design, is provided between the main body 1 and the bushings 2. The main body 1 and bushings 2 are tightly connected via the elastic body 4. A threaded hole is provided on the bushing 2, through which a countersunk screw 5 is connected. One end of the countersunk screw 5 passes through the bushing 2 and is threaded onto a screw. The expansion sleeve 6 and the connecting sleeve 3 are provided with protrusions for limiting the two bushings 2. The coupling body 1 and the bushings 2 are locked in a claw-like manner through the elastic body 4. The side wall of the coupling body 1 is provided with multiple through holes. Here, after the assembly of the coupling body 1, bushings 2 and elastic body 4 is completed, the elastic body 4 will generate sufficient friction or biting force to maintain a tight connection between the components, ensuring that it will not loosen under normal use conditions. At the same time, the claw-like locking can effectively resist vibration and impact, and prevent accidental dislodgement caused by external forces.
[0032] like Figures 2-4 As shown, a tapered hole for accommodating the expansion sleeve 6 is provided on one side of the bushing 2. The expansion sleeve 6 has a tapered design structure, and the tapered hole of the bushing 2 is adapted to the size of the expansion sleeve 6. Here, through the design of the tapered hole of the bushing 2 and the tapered structure of the expansion sleeve 6, the bushing 2 expands to different degrees in different parts after being deformed and squeezed by the expansion sleeve 6, thereby further improving the compactness of the bushing 2 and the connecting sleeve 3 and avoiding the problem of falling off.
[0033] like Figures 3-4As shown, the bushing 2 has an opening at one end near the tapered hole. After being squeezed by the expansion sleeve 6, the bushing 2 is radial. Here, the design of the through groove enables the bushing 2 to expand outward more conveniently and efficiently when the expansion sleeve 6 deforms and squeezes it, so that the expansion sleeve 6 and the connecting sleeve 3 are tightly connected.
[0034] like Figures 2-3 As shown, screw 5 is a countersunk hexagonal screw. One end of the threaded hole of bushing 2 is tapered to accommodate the head of screw 5. Compared with ordinary cross or slotted screws, the design of screw 5 as a countersunk hexagonal screw provides a larger contact area, which can withstand higher torque during tightening without stripping the threads or damaging the tool head, thus ensuring the assembly quality of the device.
[0035] This device has the basic function of a coupling. During assembly, two expansion sleeves 6 are inserted into the tapered holes of two bushings 2 respectively. Then, the connecting sleeve 3 is fitted onto the two bushings 2. After that, a screw 5 is passed through one side of the bushing 2 so that the screw 5 is threaded into the expansion sleeve 6. During the connection process, the screw 5 applies force to the expansion sleeve 6. After being subjected to force, the expansion sleeve 6 deforms and squeezes the bushing 2. After being subjected to force, the bushing 2 expands outward, so that the bushing 2 and the connecting sleeve 3 remain in contact. This ensures that even when the device rotates at a high speed, the connecting sleeve 3 and the bushing 2 will not slip or loosen relative to each other, thereby ensuring that the torque transmission accuracy will not decrease. Finally, the coupling body 1, bushing 2 and elastic body 4 are assembled by claw-type engagement, thus completing the entire assembly process.
[0036] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can conceive of other specific embodiments of the present invention without creative effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
