Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical connection components technology, and more specifically, to an improvement of a mechanical finger shaft. Background Technology
[0002] In the current market for mechanical connection components, mechanical finger shafts are widely used as crucial elements for achieving rotational connections between parts. Most mechanical finger shafts on the market currently employ a central shaft structure with slots at the top and bottom. A locking mechanism, where a snap-fit engages with the slot, locks the limiting spring. However, this structure has several drawbacks. Firstly, its structural design is complex, requiring high precision in the fit between components, which not only increases manufacturing difficulty but also leads to high production costs. Secondly, during long-term use, factors such as mechanical vibration and wear can cause the snap-fit to loosen. Once the snap-fit is loose, it cannot effectively lock the spring, causing the spring's locking function to fail. Ultimately, this results in the mechanical finger shaft malfunctioning, severely impacting the stability and lifespan of related equipment. Utility Model Content

A spring 5 is provided above the square triangular tooth 3 and sleeved on the central rotating shaft 6. A protective shell 4 is provided above the square triangular tooth 3. The protective shell 4 is sleeved on the outside of the spring 5 and limits the space for the deformation of the spring 5.

[0015] Furthermore, a cap 41 is provided at the lower end of the protective shell 4.

[0029] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present invention. These drawings are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.
[0030] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a mechanical finger swivel shaft is provided.
[0031] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, a mechanical finger rotating shaft according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a base 1, a threaded hole 11, a limiting locking part 2, a locking piece 21, a groove 22, a square triangular tooth 3, a male pointed convex tooth 31, a female pointed concave tooth 32, a through hole 33, a protective shell 4, a cap 41, a spring 5, and a central rotating shaft 6.
[0032] First, connect the central rotating shaft 6 to the base 1 via the threaded hole 11 on the base 1 to ensure a secure connection.
[0033] Next, the square triangular tooth 3 with male pointed protrusion 31 is fitted onto the central rotating shaft 6, so that it is located on the upper end face of the base 1.
[0034] Then, another square triangular tooth 3 with a female concave tooth 32 is flipped onto the first square triangular tooth 3, so that the male convex tooth 31 and the female concave tooth 32 of both teeth mesh with each other. The male convex tooth 31 is triangular, and the female concave tooth 32 is an inverted triangle. The male convex tooth 31 and the female concave tooth 32 are interlocked.
[0035] Next, spring 5 is fitted onto the central rotating shaft 6, positioned above the two meshing square triangular teeth 3.
[0036] Then, the protective shell 4 is placed on the outside of the spring 5. At this time, the lower end cap 41 of the protective shell 4 plays a certain supporting and protective role.
[0037] Finally, a downward force is applied to the top of the central rotating shaft 6, causing the locking piece 21, which is formed by the cross-section of the top of the central rotating shaft 6, to deform and press against the upper end of the protective shell 4, forming the limiting locking part 2, thus completing the assembly of the machine finger rotating shaft.
[0038] like Figure 6 In another embodiment of the utility model shown, the top end of the central rotating shaft 6 is subjected to a downward force. Under the strong force, the thin wall of the circular tube deforms to form a disc-shaped limiting and locking part 2.
[0039] Working Principle: When the rotating shaft is subjected to an external force, the two meshing square triangular teeth 3 will rotate relative to each other under the force. During rotation, the spring 5 will be compressed or stretched. Since the protective shell 4 is fitted on the outside of the spring 5, it limits the deformation space of the spring 5, allowing the spring 5 to elastically deform in a predetermined manner. The limiting locking part 2 at the top of the central rotating shaft 6 is formed by the deformation of the circular tube wall of the central rotating shaft 6 under force. The limiting locking part 2 permanently limits the position of the protective shell 4, thereby ensuring the relative position stability of the spring 5. When the external force disappears, the spring 5 will return to its original shape, generating a rebound force, pushing the two square triangular teeth 3 to rotate in the opposite direction and return to the initial position. The through holes 33 opened on the side of the square triangular teeth 3 can reduce the weight of the component in some cases, or be used to pass through other auxiliary components in certain mechanical structures. The threaded hole 11 on the base 1 facilitates the installation and connection of the machine finger shaft with other equipment. The cap 41 at the lower end of the protective shell 4 not only supports the protective shell 4, but also prevents dust and other impurities from entering the machine finger shaft to a certain extent and affecting its normal operation.

Unless otherwise explicitly limited, those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
