Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of elastic sleeve installation technology, specifically an axial guide key positioning device for elastic sleeves. Background Technology

[0002] As a core transmission component in metallurgical equipment, the drum shaft is widely used in equipment such as coilers, uncoilers, and cranes. Its design must meet the requirements of high strength, wear resistance, and dynamic stability. The drum shaft is a key piece of equipment used for winding strip in industrial production lines. Its elastic sleeve is connected to the drum shaft through a positioning structure to ensure synchronous rotation of the sleeve and the shaft.

[0003] In existing technologies, the positioning of elastic sleeves often uses several sets of radial pins. This involves machining radial holes on the inner wall of the sleeve and the shaft, and inserting pins into these holes to achieve circumferential fixation. However, this positioning method is relatively complex to install. The radial pins need to be precisely aligned with the holes on the sleeve and the shaft, requiring high machining accuracy. During assembly, the angles need to be repeatedly adjusted, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, stress concentration occurs on the radial pins during use, with the force concentrated on a local contact surface. Long-term use can easily lead to wear on the pins or hole walls, reducing positioning accuracy and requiring frequent replacements. This cannot meet people's needs. Therefore, an axial guide key positioning device for elastic sleeves is needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the axial guide key is configured as a long strip structure; the outer wall of the drum shaft is symmetrically provided with several sets of mounting grooves that fit with the axial guide key along the circumferential direction.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a guide structure is provided at one end of the axial guide key that is inserted into the guide keyway.

[0009] As a further aspect of this utility model: the depth dimensions of both the guide keyway and the mounting groove are set to 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the height dimension of the axial guide key, to ensure that the guide key does not protrude from the contact surface after being embedded.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this invention, the number of the axial guide keys in several groups is set to 2-4 to balance the force and improve the torsional resistance.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the drum shaft is provided with a plurality of fan-shaped plates for installing axial guide keys; the outer wall of the fan-shaped plates is in contact with the inner wall of the elastic sleeve.
