Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a tensioning device and belongs to the field of belt tensioning technology. Background Technology

[0002] The drive belt of the excavator's air conditioning compressor is tensioned by installing a tensioning device. Existing tensioning devices generally achieve belt tensioning through a single adjusting bolt, which has the problem of low tensioning efficiency.

[0003] The first publicly disclosed technical solution is a tensioning device for the transmission belt of an excavator air conditioning compressor (CN202901189U). It uses a single tensioning bolt to hold the fixed bracket in place and adjusts the bolt to achieve belt tension. However, the tensioning efficiency is low. Since the tensioning bolt can swing left and right around its contact point with the fixed bracket and there is vibration between the power source (such as the engine) and the compressor itself, the fixed connection lug of the fixed bracket and the rotating bracket is subjected to excessive load under the tension of the transmission belt when the device is installed on the side. This can lead to deformation and breakage, which in turn can cause the compressor to malfunction.

[0004] The second disclosed technical solution: A vehicle air conditioning compressor mounting device (CN202348621U) achieves belt tensioning by tightening a locking nut, causing the adjusting bolt to move relative to the hole in the transition block. However, due to the transmission belt acting on the side during tensioning, excessive friction between the transition block and the adjusting bolt occurs during tightening the locking nut, posing a risk of damage to the adjusting bolt's threads and thus preventing tensioning. This device also achieves belt tensioning through a single adjusting bolt, resulting in low tensioning efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, a tensioning device includes a fixed bracket 16, a rotating bracket 6, a positive thread spherical bearing connecting rod 9, a negative thread spherical bearing connecting rod 13, and a positive / negative thread adjusting nut 11. The upper part of the rotating bracket 6 is hinged to the upper part of the fixed bracket 16, and the rotating bracket 6 can rotate around the hinge point. The positive thread spherical bearing connecting rod 9 includes a rod part and a bearing part, and the bearing part is hinged to the lower end of the rotating bracket 6. The negative thread spherical bearing connecting rod 13 includes a rod part and a bearing part, and the bearing part is hinged to the lower end of the fixed bracket 16. One end of the positive / negative thread adjusting nut 11 is threaded to the rod part of the positive thread spherical bearing connecting rod 9, and the other end is threaded to the rod part of the negative thread spherical bearing connecting rod 13. Rotating the positive / negative thread adjusting nut 11 in the forward or reverse direction causes the positive and negative thread spherical bearing connecting rods 9 and 13 to move towards or away from each other, thereby driving the rotating bracket 6 to rotate towards or away from the fixed bracket 16.

[0041] It should be noted that the positive and negative thread adjusting nut 11 is used to connect both the positive thread spherical bearing connecting rod 9 and the negative thread spherical bearing connecting rod 13, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the travel of the rotating bracket 6 around the bolt 17 is increased, improving the tensioning efficiency. The connection between the fixed bracket 16 and the rotating bracket 6, and the installation positions of the positive and negative thread adjusting nut 11, the positive thread spherical bearing connecting rod 9, and the negative thread spherical bearing connecting rod 13 are distributed in the upper left and lower right directions, solving the problem of vibration and poor stability of the air conditioning compressor drive belt tensioning device.

The sliding component cooperates with the through hole and the sliding hole to realize the sliding connection between the fixed bracket 16 and the rotating bracket 6, and limits the sliding component through the sliding hole, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the rotating bracket 6.

[0045] It should be noted that the lower end of the rotating bracket 6 and the positive thread spherical bearing connecting rod 9 are hinged by bolt 7, and the lower end of the fixed bracket 16 and the negative thread spherical bearing connecting rod 13 are hinged by bolt 14.

[0050] Further options, such as Figure 4 As shown, the rotating bracket 6 is provided with multiple threaded seats, and multiple bolts 5 are respectively inserted into the mounting holes on the compressor 4 and tightened onto the threaded seats.

[0051] The following describes the usage and adjustment process of the above tensioning device:

[0052] Step 1: First, install the fixed bracket (16) on the power source (such as an engine), and press... Figure 1 As shown, first assemble the tensioning device 3. Note that nuts 10, 12, 22, and 23 should not be tightened to ensure that the rotating bracket 6 can rotate relative to bolt 17.

[0053] Step 2: Fix the compressor 4 to the threaded seat on the rotating bracket 6 with bolt 5, connect the transmission belt 2, use a wrench to rotate the forward and reverse thread adjusting nut 11 until the transmission belt 2 reaches the appropriate tension, and tighten nuts 10, 12, 22, and 23 in sequence.

[0054] When the belt tension needs to be adjusted again, loosen the locking nuts 10, 12, 22, and 23 in sequence, rotate the adjusting long nut 11 with the positive and negative threads to the transmission belt 2 to the appropriate tension, and then tighten the locking nuts 10, 12, 22, and 23 in sequence.

[0055] In summary, this utility model provides a tensioning device that achieves the following functions and effects:

[0056] 1. By using spherical bearings to distribute the load generated during belt tensioning and transmission, the problem of excessive load on the ear plate with sliding holes leading to deformation and breakage is solved, and the risk of damage to the threads of the adjusting bolt is also avoided.
