[0003] However, existing safety couplings have problems with inadequate sealing measures in practical applications. If the sealing measures are not adequate between the left and right halves of the coupling, lubricating oil can easily leak from the connection. This not only wastes lubricating oil but may also allow external impurities to enter. The entry of impurities will aggravate the wear of the internal components of the coupling, reduce transmission efficiency, and may even cause equipment failure, affecting the normal operation of the entire production system.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 A safety coupling includes a left half coupling 1 and a right half coupling 2 that cooperate with each other. The left half coupling 1 and the right half coupling 2 are connected by a connecting device. The left half coupling 1 and the right half coupling 2 are respectively provided with a positioning structure for mutual positioning, a magnetic structure for magnetic engagement, and a sealing structure for sealing the connection. There are two positioning structures, located on the end faces of the left half coupling 1 and the right half coupling 2, respectively. They are magnetically connected and positioned by the magnetic structure. The connection between the left half coupling 1 and the right half coupling 2 is provided with a sealing structure to prevent liquid leakage and impurities from entering. In use, the positioning block 11 and the positioning groove 21 in the positioning structure cooperate with each other to ensure accurate alignment of the left and right half couplings during connection, reducing the sealing gap caused by positional deviation. The magnetic structure generates magnetic attraction at the connection, further pressing the sealing gasket and the sealing groove together, thereby improving the sealing effect. The multi-layer design of the sealing structure constructs an effective sealing barrier, effectively preventing lubricating oil leakage and impurities from entering, ensuring the reliable operation of the coupling.

[0025] Furthermore, the positioning structure includes a positioning block 11 located on the outer periphery of the left half coupling 1 and a positioning groove 21 located on the inner periphery of the right half coupling 2 that cooperates with the positioning block 11.

[0026] Furthermore, the magnetic structure includes a first magnetic surface 111 disposed on the end face of the positioning block 11 and a second magnetic surface 211 disposed on the end face of the positioning groove 21 and cooperating with the first magnetic surface 111.

[0027] Furthermore, the sealing structure includes a first sealing gasket 12 and a second sealing gasket 13 disposed on the connecting end face of the left half coupling 1, and a first sealing groove 22 and a second sealing groove 23 disposed on the connecting end face of the right half coupling 2 to cooperate with the first sealing gasket 12 and the second sealing gasket 13.

[0028] Furthermore, the left half coupling 1 is provided with a first screw hole 14, and the right half coupling 2 is provided with a second screw hole 24. In use, the bolts 3 can pass through the screw holes on the left and right half couplings to achieve a tight connection between the two, ensuring the tightness of the connection, reducing the risk of seal failure due to loose connection, and providing a guarantee for the stable operation of the sealing structure.

[0029] Furthermore, the connecting device is a bolt 3, which passes through the first screw hole 14 and the second screw hole 24 to fasten the left half coupling 1 and the right half coupling 2. In use, the bolt 3 connection has high connection strength and reliability. By fastening the left and right half couplings together with the bolt 3, sufficient preload can be applied to ensure that the sealing gasket at the connection is tightly fitted with the sealing groove, thereby enhancing the sealing performance and preventing liquid leakage and impurity intrusion.

[0030] Furthermore, the positioning block 11 and the positioning groove 21 are matched with each other, and the left half coupling 1 and the right half coupling 2 are quickly positioned by the positioning block 11 and the positioning groove 21. In use, the positioning block 11 and the positioning groove 21 are matched with each other, which can ensure the concentricity and end face fit of the left and right half couplings when connected, so that the sealing gasket and the sealing groove can fit evenly, avoiding local sealing gaps caused by position deviation, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the seal.

[0031] Furthermore, the first magnetic surface 111 and the second magnetic surface 211 are magnetically attracted to each other. The left half coupling 1 and the right half coupling 2 improve the connection stability through magnetic attraction. In use, the first magnetic surface 111 and the second magnetic surface 211 attract each other, generating additional clamping force, which makes the sealing gasket fit more tightly with the sealing groove, further reducing the sealing gap and improving the sealing effect. At the same time, it can also reduce the risk of connection loosening and sealing failure caused by mechanical vibration and other factors.

[0032] Furthermore, the first sealing gasket 12 and the second sealing gasket 13 are respectively installed on the left half coupling 1 and respectively cooperate with the first sealing groove 22 and the second sealing groove 23 on the right half coupling 2. In use, the multi-layer sealing gasket formed by the first sealing groove 22 and the second sealing groove 23 and the design of the sealing groove can form multiple sealing barriers, effectively preventing hydraulic oil from leaking from the connection, while preventing external impurities from entering the inside of the coupling, protecting the internal components from contamination and damage, and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the coupling.

[0033] Working Principle: This utility model discloses a safety coupling. During use, the positioning block 11 on the outer periphery of the left half coupling 1 engages with the positioning groove 21 on the inner periphery of the right half coupling 2, ensuring precise alignment of the left and right half couplings during connection. This reduces sealing gaps caused by positional deviations and improves sealing reliability. Then, the first magnetic surface 111 on the left half coupling 1 attracts the second magnetic surface 211 on the right half coupling 2, generating magnetic attraction. This not only enhances the stability of the connection between the left and right half couplings but also further tightens the seal between the sealing gasket and the sealing groove, thereby improving the sealing effect and reducing the risk of loosening and seal failure due to mechanical vibration and other factors. Next, bolts 3 are sequentially passed through the first magnetic surface 211 on the left half coupling 1. The screw hole 14 and the second screw hole 24 on the right half coupling 2 fasten the left and right half couplings together. The bolt 3 connection has high connection strength and reliability, and can apply sufficient preload to ensure that the sealing gasket at the connection is tightly fitted with the sealing groove, further enhancing the sealing performance and preventing liquid leakage and impurity intrusion. During the operation of the coupling, the first sealing gasket 12 and the second sealing gasket 13 on the connecting end face of the left half coupling 1 are tightly fitted with the first sealing groove 22 and the second sealing groove 23 on the connecting end face of the right half coupling 2, forming a multi-layer sealing barrier. This effectively prevents lubricating oil from leaking from the coupling connection, while preventing external impurities from entering the coupling, protecting internal components from contamination and damage, and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the coupling.
