Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cam divider technology, and in particular to a cam divider that is easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] A cam divider, also known as a cam indexer or intermittent divider in engineering, is a high-precision rotary device. With the current demands of automation, cam dividers are particularly important. A major factor affecting the dividing accuracy and lifespan of a cam divider is adjustment. Dividers are manufactured from precision-machined parts, carefully assembled and adjusted. Improper adjustment can affect dividing accuracy, cause impacts and noise, damage the divider, prevent it from reaching the expected speed and load-bearing capacity, and thus shorten its lifespan.

[0003] Utility model patent publication number CN217832920U discloses a position-adjustable cam divider. It includes a cam divider body, a mounting plate fixedly mounted on its bottom surface, and a worktable that mates with the mounting plate. The top surface of the mounting plate has multiple sets of first sliding grooves. When the cam divider body needs to be moved horizontally, the present invention first rotates the insert rod and then presses it downwards, causing the connecting rod to move along the first sliding groove. Then, under the action of a torsion spring, it slides and fixes itself along a second sliding groove, thus moving the cam divider body to the desired position along the groove. Then, rotating the insert rod causes the connecting rod to slide along the first sliding groove to the upper side of the mounting plate. At this time, the clamping plate, under the action of an elastic element, fixes the worktable and mounting plate. Simultaneously, the cooperation between the connecting block and the fixing block further stabilizes and fixes the device, thus facilitating horizontal movement and making it suitable for various environments and working objects.

The front end of the screw 601 penetrates to the front side of the mounting base 2 and is fixedly connected to a handwheel 605. The handwheel 605 allows the user to easily rotate the screw 601. Adjusting blocks 606 are fixedly connected to both the top and bottom sides of the threaded sleeve 604. The adjusting blocks 606 can be used to adjust the adjusting shell 607. The adjusting shell 607 is fitted onto the surface of the adjusting blocks 606, and one side of the adjusting shell 607 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 602.

[0029] By setting the installation component 6, the installation block 4 can be moved into the installation slot 3 by moving the divider body 1. Then, by turning the handwheel 605, the locking block 603 can be quickly inserted into the slot 5 to fix the installation block 4, thus completing the installation of the entire divider body 1. When it is necessary to disassemble the divider body 1, simply turn the handwheel 605 to drive the locking block 603 out of the slot 5, quickly releasing the restriction on the installation block 4. Then, the divider body 1 can be disassembled, maintained, and replaced.

[0030] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the bottom of the mounting base 2 is provided with a base 7, and positioning blocks 8 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the base 7.

[0031] The base 7 has grooves 9 on the front and back sides of the top. A slide rod 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 9. A slide sleeve 11 is fitted on the surface of the slide rod 10. The top of the slide sleeve 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 2.

[0032] The positioning block 8 facilitates the installation of the base 7, the groove 9 facilitates the installation of the slide rod 10, and the slide rod 10 and the sliding sleeve 11 improve the stability of the movement of the mounting base 2.

[0033] like Figures 1-6 As shown, both sides of the mounting base 2 are fixedly connected to the limiting box 12. The inner cavity of the limiting box 12 is provided with a pull plate 13. The bottom of the pull plate 13 is fixedly connected to the insert block 14. The top of the base 7 is provided with several slots 15 from left to right. The bottom of the insert block 14 passes through the limiting box 12 and extends into the inner cavity of the slot 15.

[0034] A pull rod 16 and a first spring 17 are fixedly connected to the top of the pull plate 13. The top of the pull rod 16 extends through to the top of the limit box 12 and is fixedly connected to a pull block.

[0035] The slot 15 facilitates the use of the insert block 14, the first spring 17 facilitates the downward movement of the pull plate 13 for resetting, and the pull block facilitates the user to pull the pull rod 16.

[0036] like Figures 1-6 As shown, baffles 608 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the mounting base 2 and to both sides of the screw 601. A second spring 609 is fixedly connected between the surface of the baffle 608 and the moving plate 602.

[0037] The surface of the screw 601 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 2 via a bearing, and the surface of the adjusting block 606 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjusting shell 607.

[0038] By setting up the baffle 608 and the second spring 609, the resetting of the movable plate 602 can be facilitated, and by setting up the bearing, the rotation of the screw 601 can be facilitated.

[0039] The working principle of this easy-to-maintain cam divider is as follows: When the user needs to adjust the position of the divider body 1 laterally, pull the pull rod 16 upward. The pull rod 16 drives the pull plate 13 to move upward and compress the first spring 17 until the pull plate 13 drives the insert block 14 to move upward and move out of the slot 15. Then, the divider body 1 can be moved laterally by the cooperation of the slide rod 10 and the slide sleeve 11. After moving to the designated position, release the pull block. The first spring 17 returns to its original position and drives the insert block 14 downward to insert into the slot 15 through the cooperation of the pull plate 13, thus fixing the mounting base 2 and the divider body 1. When it is necessary to disassemble the divider body 1, turn the handwheel 605 to drive the screw 601 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 601 drives the adjusting block 606 to move backward through the cooperation of the screw sleeve 604. The adjustment shells 607 on both sides will move towards the center. The adjustment shells 607, in cooperation with the moving plate 602, will move the two locking blocks 603 towards the center until the locking blocks 603 are removed from the slots 5, releasing the restriction on the mounting block 4. Then the divider body 1 can be moved forward for disassembly. During installation, first move the two locking blocks 603 towards the center for adjustment, then move the divider body 1 to insert the mounting block 4 into the mounting slot 3. The handwheel 605 can drive the screw sleeve 604 and the adjustment block 606 forward. The forward movement of the adjustment block 606 will, in cooperation with the adjustment shells 607 on both sides, cause the two moving plates 602 to move away from each other. The moving plates 602 will drive the locking blocks 603 to move and insert them into the slots 5, completing the fixation of the mounting block 4, thereby quickly fixing the divider body 1, which is convenient and fast.
