TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of transmission, specifically relates to a drive assembly. BACKGROUND
[0002] In mechanical transmission, the driving shaft is directly connected with the engine and the driving wheel, and is responsible for converting power into propulsive force. When the engine rotates, the driving shaft rotates; when the engine stops, the driving shaft stops rotating. The driving shaft can only rotate in the same direction as the engine, and the driving shaft has a single transmission direction. Taking a fixed driving sprocket on the driving shaft as an example, the fixed driving sprocket on the driving shaft can only perform single-direction transmission with the driving shaft, and the use range is limited.
[0003] Taking the pole group conveying equipment in the production process of lead-acid storage batteries as an example, during the production of lead-acid storage battery plates, the pole group is conveyed to the next processing station through the conveying equipment. The driving wheel on the driving shaft of the conveying equipment, the conveying chain, and the pole group set clamp mounted on the conveying chain move with the rotation of the motor. In order to adapt to the different thicknesses of the pole group in different types of lead-acid storage batteries, the spacing between the two clamping plates of the pole group set clamp in the conveying equipment needs to be adjusted accordingly. The existing adjustment method is to manually loosen the fasteners (such as bolts and nuts) fixed on the conveying chain and the clamping plates, determine the position, and then fasten the fasteners on the clamping plates. Taking the length of the conveying equipment as an example, which is 4-5m, there are 70 sets of clamps mounted on the conveying chain. It takes half a day to manually adjust the spacing between the clamps, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In the face of product model change in the production line, it seriously affects the operation efficiency. SUMMARY

The thrust ball bearing includes a housing ring and a shaft ring. The outer circle of the housing ring is transition-fitted with the outer shaft, and the inner circle of the shaft ring is transition-fitted with the inner shaft. The function of the thrust ball bearing is to: 1. Prevent potential axial movement after the two shafts are separated; and 2. Reduce friction.

[0008] When the outer sleeve and inner sleeve are in the connected state, the stepped inner spline of the spline sleeve is fully connected with the stepped outer spline; when the spline sleeve moves axially along the drive shaft to the outer spline at one end of the inner sleeve, the outer sleeve and inner sleeve are in the disengaged state, and the small inner spline of the spline sleeve is connected with the outer spline at one end of the outer sleeve. When the spline sleeve rotates, the outer sleeve rotates with the spline sleeve in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, while the inner sleeve remains fixed and does not rotate.

The gear plate is fixed to the inner surface of the middle part of the handwheel. The gear plate has an inner spline 2 in the middle that is connected to the outer spline at the end of the outer shaft. The inner spline 1 and the inner spline 2 form a stepped inner spline.

[0014] This invention utilizes a manual clutch assembly at one end of the inner and outer shafts to achieve connection / disconnection between them. When the inner and outer shafts are disengaged, they can transmit power in different directions to adapt to various working conditions. A thrust ball bearing is mounted on the other end of the outer shaft. This serves two purposes: firstly, it prevents axial movement of the inner shaft that may occur after the two shafts are disengaged via the manual clutch; secondly, it reduces friction between the end of the outer shaft and other connecting components.
[0015] When applied to pole group conveying equipment, the adjusting sprocket and fixed sprocket in the drive sprocket assembly mounted on the drive shaft can achieve independent transmission in two directions. The pole group clamps on the chain mounted on the drive sprocket assembly can be easily and quickly adjusted to adjust the distance between the two clamps without disassembly, thus improving the changeover efficiency.
