AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

During the installation of existing engine accessory gear train tensioners, the direction of the spring's torsional torque is not parallel to the direction of the force on the gear train, causing the tensioner to flip, resulting in pulley wobbling, abnormal noise, and shortened service life.

Method used

Design a high-damping balancing force attachment tensioner. By setting the spring layout angle so that its torsional torque direction is parallel to the force direction of the pulley system, and by using a damping sleeve and clamp structure, the damping magnitude is adjusted to balance the tensioner's rotation and reduce pulley runout.

Benefits of technology

This ensures the tensioner operates normally during work, reduces belt pulley sway and noise, and decreases its lifespan, thus improving operational stability.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the improvement of a tensioner, in particular to the improvement of a high-damping balanced force accessory tensioner. BACKGROUND

[0002] During installation, the layout angle of the spring is determined by the connection position of the two ends of the spring, usually one end of the spring is connected to the rotating end of the swing arm to determine the damping size of the spring, and the other end of the spring is connected to the shell to determine the torsional moment direction of the spring, which is usually randomly set, and when the torsional moment direction of the spring is not parallel to the force direction of the wheel train, the tensioner cannot balance the overturning, which causes the pulley to deviate and emit abnormal noise during the operation of the tensioner, and shortens the service life. SUMMARY

[0003] The utility model solves the technical problem of overcoming the prior art, and provides a high-damping balanced force accessory tensioner.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme to realize it: the high-damping balanced force accessory tensioner, including the shell, the shaft core, the swing arm and the pulley, the shaft core is arranged in the shell, one end of the swing arm is provided with the rotating drum, the rotating drum is rotatably sleeved on the shaft core, the pulley is arranged at the other end of the swing arm, characterized by: the rotating drum and the shell are provided with the spring, one end of the spring is connected to the rotating drum, the other end of the spring is connected to the shell, and the torsional moment direction of the spring is parallel to the force direction of the wheel train, the rotating drum is sleeved with the damping sleeve, the spring is sleeved on the damping sleeve, and the clamp is further arranged between the spring and the damping sleeve, the clamp is tightly sleeved on the lower part of the damping sleeve, and the upper end of the clamp is a spiral raised surface matched with the spiral direction of the spring.

[0005] The upper end of the clamp is provided with a plurality of limiting openings, and the corresponding outer circle of the rotating drum is provided with a limiting protrusion matched with the limiting opening.

[0006] The connecting point of the spring on the shell and the center line of the shell are perpendicular to the connecting line of the wrap angle center of the belt on the pulley and the center of the pulley.

[0007] The improved high-damping balanced force accessory tensioner can adjust the damping size of the tensioner by setting the parameters of the spring and the damping sleeve, and the torsional moment direction of the spring is parallel to the force direction of the wheel train through the layout angle of the spring, so as to balance the overturning of the tensioner, so that the tensioner can still work normally during work, thereby reducing the abnormal noise and life attenuation caused by the deviation of the pulley.

[0013] The accompanying drawings illustrate the structure of this utility model, and further details will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, see the attached drawings. Figures 1-4 The high-damping balancing force attachment tensioner includes a housing 1, a shaft core 2, a swing arm 3, and a pulley 4. The shaft core 2 is disposed inside the housing 1. One end of the swing arm 3 is provided with a rotating cylinder 5, which is rotatably sleeved on the shaft core 2. The upper end of the shaft core 2 is provided with a riveting plate 10, which limits the position of the rotating cylinder 5. A central sleeve 6 is provided between the rotating cylinder 5 and the shaft core 2. The pulley 4 is disposed at the other end of the swing arm 3. A spring 7 is provided between the rotating cylinder 5 and the housing 1. One end of the spring 7 is connected to the rotating cylinder 5, and the other end of the spring 7 is connected to the housing 1. The torsional torque direction of the spring 7 is parallel to the force direction of the gear train. A damping sleeve 8 is sleeved on the rotating cylinder 5, and the spring 7 is sleeved on the damping sleeve 8. A clamp 9 is also provided between the spring 7 and the damping sleeve 8. The clamp 9 is tightly sleeved on the lower part of the damping sleeve 8, and the upper end of the clamp 9 is a spiral rising surface adapted to the helical direction of the spring.

[0014] The principle of this invention is to rationally select the position on the housing 1 where the spring 7 is connected, so that the torsional torque direction of the spring 7 is parallel to the force direction of the gear train, so as to balance the rotation of the tensioner and ensure that the tensioner can still work normally during operation. This reduces the abnormal noise and lifespan reduction caused by the wobble of the pulley 4. At the same time, the damping sleeve 8 is equipped with a clamp 9 with a spiral rising surface. The spiral rising surface is adapted to the shape of the spring 7 during the torsion process. The clamp 9 is used to balance the force acting on the damping sleeve 8 and avoid the local force generated by the direct line contact between the spring 7 and the damping sleeve 8.

[0015] As a further improved specific implementation, the upper end of the clamp 9 is provided with several limiting openings, and the outer circle of the corresponding rotating cylinder 5 is provided with limiting protrusions. The limiting protrusions cooperate with the limiting openings to restrict the clamp 9 from rotating and moving axially on the rotating cylinder 5.

[0016] As a further improved embodiment, the connecting point of the spring 7 on the housing 1 is perpendicular to the line connecting the center of the belt on the pulley 4 and the center of the pulley 4, so that the torsion moment direction of the spring 7 is parallel to the force direction of the wheel train.

[0017] To sum up, the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the protection scope of the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
