DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to further understand the invention content, characteristics and efficacy of the utility model, the following examples are cited, and the detailed description is as follows in cooperation with the drawings.

[0023] The structure of the utility model will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0024] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the utility model embodiment provides a roller shutter door chain tensioning automatic adjusting mechanical device, which comprises,

[0025] The supporting mechanism 100 comprises a support plate 101, the rear side of the support plate 101 is provided with a motor 102 for transmission, and the output end of the motor 102 is transmissionally connected with a chain assembly 103.

[0026] The chain assembly 103 comprises a main sprocket 103a connected to the output end of the motor 102, a secondary sprocket 103b arranged on the left side of the main sprocket 103a, and a chain 103c arranged on the surfaces of the main sprocket 103a and the secondary sprocket 103b.

[0027] The tensioning mechanism 200 comprises a tensioning assembly 201 arranged on the front side of the support plate 101 and located on the top of the chain assembly 103.

[0028] With reference to Figure 1 , 3 and 4, the tensioning assembly 201 comprises an adjusting groove 201a arranged on the front side of the support plate 101, a fixed rod 201b fixedly connected to the surface of the adjusting groove 201a, and an extrusion component 202 arranged on the surface of the fixed rod 201b.

[0029] The adjusting groove 201a defines the movement path of the extrusion component 202, ensures that the pressing force is always perpendicular to the chain 103c, and avoids uneven tensioning caused by lateral deviation.

[0030] With reference to Figure 3 , the extrusion component 202 comprises an extrusion spring 202a sleeved on the surface of the fixed rod 201b, an extrusion block 202b arranged at the bottom of the extrusion spring 202a, and a pressing wheel 202c arranged on the front side of the extrusion block 202b.

[0031] The extrusion spring 202a provides continuous tensioning force through elastic deformation. When the chain 103c is relaxed, the spring elongates to push the extrusion block 202b downward, so that the pressing wheel 202c tightly contacts the outer side of the chain 103c. Conversely, when the tensioning force of the chain 103c is too large, the extrusion spring 202a is compressed to absorb the excess stress.

[0032] With reference to Figure 3 , 4 A reset spring 203 is sleeved on the bottom of the fixed rod 201b, a reset plate 204 is fixedly connected to the top of the reset spring 203, and a positioning member 205 is arranged on the top of the reset plate 204.

[0033] Adopt the above scheme: when the chain 103c needs to be replaced, the reset spring 203 releases the elastic force through the positioning piece 205, facilitating the replacement of the chain 103c.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 The positioning piece 205 comprises a positioning groove 205a formed on the front side of the support plate 101, the front side of the positioning groove 205a extends to the front side of the support plate 101, and a positioning rod 205b is slidably connected to the surface of the positioning groove 205a, one side of the positioning rod 205b is provided with a positioning spring 205c, one side of the positioning spring 205c is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning groove 205a, and the top of the positioning rod 205b is inclined.

[0035] Adopt the above scheme: when manual adjustment or replacement of the chain 103c is required, the positioning rod 205b can be pulled into the positioning groove 205a by overcoming the elastic force of the positioning spring 205c through the pull block 206, so that the locking state is released, and the operation is simple and quick.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 The front side of the positioning rod 205b is provided with a pull block 206, and the outer side of the pull block 206 is slidably connected to the inner side of the positioning groove 205a.

[0037] Adopt the above scheme: by integrating the pull block 206 on the front side of the positioning rod 205b and slidably matching the pull block 206 with the inner side of the positioning groove 205a, the operator can directly control the locking and unlocking states of the positioning rod 205b by pulling the pull block 206 on the front side of the support plate 101.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 The front side of the adjusting groove 201a is provided with a sensing piece 207, and the sensing piece 207 is used for sensing the slackness of the chain 103c.

[0039] Adopt the above scheme: when the slackness of the chain 103c exceeds the preset threshold, the control system can automatically trigger an alarm, so that the tensioning process is more accurate and timely, effectively prevents equipment failure caused by the slackness of the chain 103c, and improves the safety and automation level of the operation of the roller shutter door.

[0040] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0041] When the tensioning automatic adjusting device is used,

[0042] The motor 102 is fixed to the rear side of the support plate 101, and the output end thereof is connected to the main sprocket 103a. The auxiliary sprocket 103b is installed on the front side of the support plate 101 through a rotating shaft and is kept at a certain distance from the main sprocket 103a. The chain 103c is wound around the main sprocket 103a and the auxiliary sprocket 103b to form a transmission loop. The fixed rod 201b of the tensioning mechanism 200 is vertically installed in the adjusting groove 201a. The compression spring 202a is sleeved on the upper part of the fixed rod 201b, and the bottom thereof is connected to the extrusion block 202b. The outer side of the extrusion block 202b is in sliding fit with the inner wall of the adjusting groove 201a. The compression wheel 202c on the front side is in close contact with the outer side of the chain 103c. In the initial state, the compression spring 202a provides a pre-tightening force to ensure that the chain 103c is moderately tensioned.

[0043] When the chain 103c is loosened due to wear or thermal expansion and cold contraction caused by frequent opening and closing of the roller shutter door, the tension of the chain 103c decreases. The elastic force of the compression spring 202a pushes the extrusion block 202b to slide downward along the adjusting groove 201a, and drives the compression wheel 202c to continuously press the outer side of the chain 103c, so that the chain 103c is re-tensioned.

[0044] If the chain 103c is loosened too much, the sensing part 207 sends an alarm signal to prompt the operator to check and repair. By pulling the pull block 206, the operator overcomes the elastic force of the positioning spring 205c to pull the positioning rod 205b out of the positioning groove 205a, thereby unlocking the reset plate 204. The pre-tightening force of the reset spring 203 quickly pushes the reset plate 204 upward, driving the extrusion block 202b and the compression wheel 202c to rise synchronously to the initial position, completely releasing the extrusion force on the chain 103c. At this time, the chain 103c is in a relaxed state and can be easily removed from the main sprocket 103a and the auxiliary sprocket 103b. After replacing the new chain 103c, the pull block 206 is loosened, the positioning rod 205b is retracted from the positioning groove 205a under the action of the spring force, and then the reset plate 204 is pressed downward, so that the extrusion positioning rod 205b is locked to the reset plate 204 again. The elastic force of the compression spring 202a makes the compression wheel 202c press the chain 103c again, and the quick replacement process is completed.

[0045] It should be noted that the sensing part 207 can be used in combination with an alarm.

[0046] In summary, the roller shutter door chain tensioning automatic adjusting mechanical device solves the problem that the existing chain is loosened due to wear or thermal expansion and cold contraction caused by frequent use, and provides appropriate tension. When the loosening degree is too large and needs to be replaced, it is convenient for personnel to replace and operate.
