Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of safety protection devices for the gate opening of hydropower stations, and specifically relates to an automatic opening and closing transmission mechanism for the gate cover plate. Background Technology
[0002] In water conservancy and hydropower projects, the opening and closing of orifice covers is a routine requirement for equipment inspection and operation maintenance. Traditional orifice cover transmission mechanisms mostly use a single power drive or a simple linkage structure, which has the following structural limitations:
[0003] Redundancy in power transmission structure: Traditional mechanisms often rely on multi-stage gearboxes or hydraulic cylinders to directly drive the cover plate, resulting in a bulky device and an excessively long distance between the power input end and the execution end, leading to low transmission efficiency and susceptibility to mechanical jamming. For example, when using a hydraulic cylinder to directly push the cover plate, an additional guide rail is required, but the deviation between the rail and the axis of the hydraulic cylinder can easily cause the cover plate to shift, requiring frequent manual correction.
[0004] Insufficient precision in the coordinated movement of cover plates: For the opening and closing of multiple stacked cover plates, existing technologies mostly control them separately through independent drive units, lacking a linkage design. When multiple cover plates need to be opened or stacked synchronously, it is difficult to accurately match the movement speed of each unit, which can easily cause cover plate collisions or excessive gaps, and even lead to wear of the transmission screw threads (such as uneven force on one side of the trapezoidal thread). Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic opening and closing transmission mechanism for orifice cover plates. The power receiving device adopts a compact layout of bevel gear set (input bevel gear, output bevel gear) and linkage transmission shaft. It can be adapted to an external power source (such as an electric drill) through a quick connector to realize torque amplification and direction conversion, avoiding the bulky structure of traditional multi-stage reduction gearboxes.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] An automatic opening and closing transmission mechanism for an orifice cover includes a power receiving device, a transmission mechanism, and a transmission connector; the power receiving device is in transmission cooperation with the transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism is in transmission cooperation with the transmission connector; multiple transmission connectors are installed on the transmission mechanism.
[0008] Preferably, the power receiving device includes a mounting box, a quick connector, a thrust bearing, an input bevel gear, an output bevel gear, and a linkage drive shaft;

[0012] Preferably, the transmission mechanism is installed on both sides of the traveling area of the orifice locking beam; the transmission mechanism includes a supporting track seat, a receiving bevel gear, and a transmission screw;
[0013] It accepts bevel gears that mesh with drive bevel gears, and accepts bevel gears that are coaxially connected with transmission screws; the transmission screws are rotatably mounted on the support rail seat.
[0014] Preferably, the transmission connecting component includes a locking beam connecting screw sleeve, which is threadedly engaged with the transmission lead screw, and is used to connect with the locking beam.
[0015] Preferably, the transmission connector further includes a cover plate connecting screw sleeve and a cover plate connector; the cover plate connecting screw sleeve is threadedly engaged with the transmission lead screw, the cover plate connecting screw sleeve is connected to the cover plate connector via a mounting rod, and the cover plate connector is provided with a mounting hole; the mounting hole is used for hinged connection with the cover plate.
[0016] Preferably, the support track seat is provided with a cover plate support groove adapted to the support travel pulley, and the support travel pulley is used to slide on the cover plate support groove; the shape of the cover plate support groove is adapted to the travel trajectory of the first cover plate and the stacked cover plates.
[0017] Preferably, the cover plate support groove includes a first front cover plate support groove and a first rear cover plate support groove;
[0018] The front support groove of the first cover plate and the rear support groove of the first cover plate are connected, and the groove depth of the front support groove of the first cover plate is greater than the groove depth of the rear support groove of the first cover plate.
[0019] Preferably, the cover plate support groove further includes a front support groove for stacked cover plates and a rear support groove for stacked cover plates;
[0020] The front support groove of the stacked cover plate and the rear support groove of the stacked cover plate are connected, and the groove depth of the front support groove of the stacked cover plate is greater than the groove depth of the rear support groove of the stacked cover plate.
[0021] The present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. The power receiving device adopts a compact layout of bevel gear set (input bevel gear, output bevel gear) and linkage transmission shaft. It can be adapted to external power source (such as electric drill) through quick connector to realize torque amplification and direction conversion, avoiding the bulky structure of traditional multi-stage reduction gearbox.
[0023] 2. The transmission mechanism integrates forward and reverse threaded transmission screws with support grooves of varying depths (support groove in front of the first cover plate, support groove behind the stacked cover plate, etc.). The groove depths satisfy L2 = L3 + support pulley width, ensuring that the support pulleys on the front and rear support shafts of the cover plate are always in contact with the bottom surface of the groove during movement, eliminating the risk of cover plate tipping over.
[0024] 3. The transmission connecting component converts the rotational motion of the transmission screw into the linear opposing movement of the locking beam and the cover plate through the threaded engagement of the locking beam connecting sleeve and the cover plate connecting sleeve. At the same time, the hinged design of the cover plate connecting component (the mounting hole and the mounting hinge seat engage) allows the cover plate to adapt to changes in angle during movement, avoiding mechanical interference caused by rigid connection.
