DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0022] As described in the background art, the gears (idlers) used for meshing transmission inside the gearbox have flat surfaces on their sides, which makes it easy for the gears to experience tooth clipping during sliding meshing. This causes the gears to fail to mesh properly or become damaged, affecting subsequent chain tightening operations. Therefore, this embodiment provides a gearbox for a hydraulic chain tightening device for scraper conveyors and transfer machines.
[0023] See Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment proposes a hydraulic chain tensioning device gearbox for scraper conveyors and transfer machines, including a base plate 1. The upper surface of the base plate 1 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 16 for fixing the position of the hydraulic chain tensioning device gearbox. Fixing bolts are passed through the mounting holes 16 and screwed into the reserved holes opened at the installation position of the hydraulic chain tensioning device gearbox for scraper conveyors and transfer machines, so as to install and fix it.
[0024] A fixed frame 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. An input gear shaft 3 and a swing shaft 4 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 2. Two first bearings 18 are embedded in the inner wall of the fixed frame 2, and the inner ring of the first bearing 18 is fixed to the outer surface of the input gear shaft 3. By setting the first bearings 18, the input gear 5 can be made more stable when rotating and the resistance of the input gear 5 when rotating can be reduced, thereby avoiding the input gear 5 from jamming and swinging during use.
[0025] One side of the fixed frame 2 is fixedly connected to an indicator plate 23 for indicating the working status of the gearbox of the hydraulic chain tensioning device. By setting the indicator plate 23, the user can quickly identify the working status of the gearbox of the hydraulic chain tensioning device.
[0026] An input gear 5 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the input gear shaft 3. A rocker arm 6 and a shift fork 7 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the input gear 5. A guide shaft 8 and a guide rod 9 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 2. A positioning block 10 and a cover 17 are fixedly connected to the front of the fixed frame 2, and the guide shaft 8 and the guide rod 9 abut against the positioning block 10.
[0027] The input gear shaft 3 can be connected to the output shaft of an externally installed drive motor, so that the drive motor can drive the input gear shaft 3 to rotate, thereby driving the input gear 5 to rotate. The outer surface of the swing shaft 4 is fixedly connected with a sealing sleeve that is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 2. After the swing arm 6 rotates, it can drive the shift fork 7 to swing through the swing shaft 4.
[0028] The guide shaft 8 and guide rod 9 can slide along the inner wall of the fixed frame 2, and the position of the guide shaft 8 and guide rod 9 can be locked by the positioning block 10 fixed on the front of the fixed frame 2, thereby preventing the guide shaft 8 and guide rod 9 from moving on their own.
[0029] A positioning handle 15 for driving the swing arm 6 to swing is fixedly connected to one side of the swing arm 6. By setting the positioning handle 15, it is convenient for the user to drive the swing arm 6 to swing, thereby improving the convenience and practicality of use.
[0030] The outer surface of the guide shaft 8 is slidably connected to the idler wheel 11 that meshes with the input gear 5 through the guide sleeve, and the sides of both the input gear 5 and the idler wheel 11 are rounded. The outer surface of the guide rod 9 is slidably connected to the slider 12 that is hinged to the shift fork 7, and the inner wall of the rocker arm 6 is slidably connected to the pin 13 for position limitation.
[0031] The right side of the fixed frame 2 has a pin hole that matches the pin 13. After the pin 13 is inserted into the corresponding pin hole, the position of the swing arm 6 can be locked. After the fork 7 swings, it can drive the slider 12 to slide along the outer surface of the guide rod 9, which can then drive the idler wheel 11 to mesh with the input gear 5 and complete the separation. When the idler wheel 11 and the input gear 5 are meshed, the input gear 5 rotates and drives the idler wheel 11 to rotate.
[0032] Furthermore, rounding the upper surface of the input gear 5 and idler gear 11 can change the surface contact to point contact, thereby effectively solving the problem of tooth tipping during gear meshing inside the gearbox of the hydraulic chain fastening device for scraper conveyors and transfer machines.
[0033] The inner wall of the idler wheel 11 is inlaid with a second bearing 19, and the inner ring of the second bearing 19 meshes with the outer surface of the sliding sleeve. By setting the second bearing 19, the idler wheel 11 can be made more stable when rotating and the resistance of the idler wheel 11 when rotating can be reduced, thereby avoiding the idler wheel 11 from jamming and wobbling during use.
[0034] The inner walls of the swing shaft 4 and the pin 13 are both threaded with first eye screws 20. The base plate 1 is provided with a fixing chain 21 at both ends connected to the first eye screws 20. By setting the first eye screws 20 and the fixing chain 21, the pin 13 can be limited and supported, thereby preventing the pin 13 from being lost.
[0035] A cover plate 14 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed frame 2. The cover plate 14 can close and protect the top of the fixed frame 2. The upper surface of the cover plate 14 is threaded with two symmetrically arranged second eye bolts 22 for hoisting the gearbox of the hydraulic chain tightening device. By setting the second eye bolts 22, the gearbox of the hydraulic chain tightening device can be easily hoisted and moved, thereby improving the convenience of use.
[0036] The components in the accompanying drawings of this utility model are for styling reference only and are not specific dimensional standards. The specific dimensions are determined according to the actual production requirements, and the materials of each component can be replaced accordingly based on actual needs.
[0037] Working principle: When using the hydraulic chain tensioning device gearbox for scraper conveyors and transfer machines, the positioning handle 15 can drive the swing arm 6 to swing. After the swing arm 6 swings, it will drive the shift fork 7 to swing through the swing shaft 4, thereby driving the slider 12 to slide along the outer surface of the guide rod 9. This will drive the idler wheel 11 to mesh with the input gear 5 and complete the separation. The pin 13 passing through the swing arm 6 can be inserted into the pin hole opened on the right side of the fixed frame 2 to lock the position of the swing arm 6 after swinging, thus keeping it in the adjusted working state. When the idler wheel 11... After the input gear 5 is engaged, the input gear shaft 3 can be rotated by an externally installed drive motor, which in turn drives the input gear 5 to rotate. The meshing action between the input gear 5 and the idler wheel 11 enables the idler wheel 11 to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the rounding treatment of the upper surface of the input gear 5 and the idler wheel 11 can effectively solve the problem of tooth backing during gear meshing in the gearbox of the hydraulic chain tightening device for scraper conveyors and transfer machines. This makes the chain tightening operation of scraper conveyors and transfer machines more convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving, and reduces the probability of equipment damage.
