Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of transmission belt pulley technology, specifically relating to a tensioning pulley with signal teeth. Background Technology
[0002] In the prior art, tensioners are belt tensioning devices used in transmission systems. Some tensioners are equipped with a pulley signal disc, the main function of which is to provide a signal to a speed sensor, thereby measuring the rotational speed of the tensioner.
[0003] The tensioner and pulley signal disc assemblies currently in use are mostly made into an integrated structure through casting, forming the signal disc on the pulley spokes, so that it can be used in conjunction with a speed sensor to detect the pulley speed in subsequent use.
[0004] However, products made in this way have disadvantages such as heavy weight, complex processing, and casting defects. The precision of the cast signal teeth is not high, and the production efficiency is low, the raw material cost is high, the scrap rate is high, and the ex-factory price is high, which cannot meet customer requirements. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a tensioning wheel with signal teeth to solve the technical problems of low processing accuracy and high cost of integrated tensioning wheels and pulley signal discs.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A tensioning pulley with signal teeth includes a pulley body, a bearing, a fixing member, and a signal toothed disc. The bearing is fixed to the inner ring of the pulley body. The pulley body includes spokes and a pulley mounting portion disposed at the edge of the spokes. A mounting groove that mates with the signal teeth is formed between the spokes and the pulley mounting portion. The signal toothed disc is fixed in the mounting groove by the fixing member.
[0008] Furthermore, the fastener is a blind rivet. Positioning holes are formed on the spokes of the pulley body. Mounting holes corresponding to the positioning holes are formed on the signal gear. The blind rivet passes through the positioning holes and mounting holes in sequence to achieve a fixed connection between the signal gear and the pulley body.
[0009] Furthermore, there are two blind rivets in total. The two blind rivets are symmetrically arranged on the signal gear plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the signal gear disk is divided into an inner ring connecting portion and an outer ring gear portion. Mounting holes are formed on the connecting portion. Multiple toothed grooves are formed on the gear ring portion. These grooves are evenly distributed circumferentially along the axis of the signal gear disk.
[0011] Furthermore, the pulley body is made of 4mm thick steel plate by spin forming.
[0012] Furthermore, the signal toothed disc is formed by stamping 3.5mm steel plate.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0014] This invention utilizes a spinning process to manufacture the pulley body, creating a mounting groove between the spokes and the pulley mounting section that mates with the signal gear disc. The signal gear disc is fixed within the mounting groove by fasteners. The pulley body and signal gear disc are machined and assembled separately, improving processing efficiency while effectively enhancing the machining accuracy of the signal gear disc. This also facilitates subsequent maintenance, offering advantages such as low processing cost, novel manufacturing process, and high economic benefits. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, a tensioning pulley with signal teeth includes a pulley body 1, a bearing 2, a fixing member 3, and a signal toothed disc 4 mounted on the pulley body 1. The pulley body 1 includes spokes 1-1 and pulley mounting portions 1-2 disposed at the edges of the spokes 1-1. A mounting groove for engaging the signal teeth is formed between the spokes 1-1 and the pulley mounting portions 1-2. The signal toothed disc 4 is fixed in the mounting groove by the fixing member 3.
[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing member 3 is a blind rivet. A positioning hole is provided on the spoke 1-1 of the pulley body 1. A mounting hole corresponding to the positioning hole is provided on the signal gear 4. During installation, the signal gear 4 is embedded in the pulley body 1, with the positioning hole and mounting hole aligned. The blind rivet passes through the positioning hole and mounting hole in sequence to achieve a fixed connection between the signal gear 4 and the pulley body 1.
[0023] In some embodiments, there are two blind rivets. The two blind rivets are symmetrically arranged on the signal gear plate 4 to ensure that the signal gear plate 4 is securely fixed to the pulley body 1.
[0024] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the signal gear disk 4 is divided into an inner ring connecting part 4-1 and an outer ring gear part 4-2. Mounting holes are formed on the connecting part 4-1. The gear ring part 4-2 has multiple toothed grooves. These grooves are evenly distributed circumferentially along the axis of the signal gear disk 4, enabling it to work with a sensor to detect the speed signal of the pulley body 1.
[0025] In this embodiment, the pulley body 1 is formed by spinning a 4mm thick steel plate. The pulley body 1 and the bearing 2 are fixed together by friction welding.
[0026] Furthermore, the signal gear 4 is formed by stamping from a 3.5mm steel plate.
