Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spring technology, specifically to a straight cylindrical spring. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing automation of industry, the demand for internal vibration damping and external shock absorption in various mechanical equipment is growing. Existing elastic elements, especially springs, play a crucial role in many applications. They are used not only in everyday consumer goods such as furniture and sports equipment, but also in high-end manufacturing industries such as automotive suspension systems and aircraft landing gear. In recent years, researchers have developed various types of springs, such as torsion springs, compression springs, and tension springs, to meet specific needs in different environments. These improvements have effectively enhanced the performance and lifespan of equipment. However, facing increasingly complex engineering challenges, the design concepts and technical parameters of traditional springs still require further optimization and development.
[0003] Currently, the most common straight-tube springs on the market mainly include two types: standard type and irregular cross-section type, both made of steel wire. Standard straight-tube springs are widely used due to their low production cost and wide range of applications. However, they have the problem of difficulty in stiffness adjustment. That is, once the diameter, wire diameter, and number of coils are determined, their load-bearing capacity and deformation are basically fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different load conditions.

[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1 to 5 The illustrated straight-tube spring includes a first positioning sleeve 1, with a second positioning sleeve 2 slidably connected inside the first positioning sleeve 1. A first positioning ring 3 is provided at the upper end of the first positioning sleeve 1, and a second positioning ring 4 is provided at the lower end of the second positioning sleeve 2. A spring body 5 is fitted onto the surfaces of the first positioning sleeve 1 and the second positioning sleeve 2, with the upper and lower ends of the spring body 5 abutting against the first positioning ring 3 and the second positioning ring 4, respectively. An adjustment assembly is provided inside the first positioning sleeve 1 and the second positioning sleeve 2, including an adjustment screw 12, a insertion hole 22, and a positioning slide. Block 24, adjusting block 25, adjusting screw 12 are fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the first positioning sleeve 1, insertion hole 22 is opened at the upper end of the second positioning sleeve 2, the lower end of adjusting screw 12 passes through insertion hole 22, positioning slider 24 is slidably connected to the inside of the second positioning sleeve 2, adjusting block 25 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of positioning slider 24, the lower end of adjusting screw 12 is threadedly connected to positioning slider 24 and adjusting block 25, the inner top wall of the second positioning sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to a first rubber gasket 23, and the upper surface of positioning slider 24 is fixedly connected to a second rubber gasket 26.
[0036] Considering that the actual working environment may involve high temperature and high pressure, stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance is used as the raw material for manufacturing. The spring body 5 is made of high-strength stainless steel wire, and the first positioning sleeve 1 and the second positioning sleeve 2 are made of aluminum. The dimensions of the first positioning sleeve 1, the second positioning sleeve 2 and the spring body 5 are designed according to the actual use scenario. The adjustment components are all made of aluminum alloy. The positioning slider 24 and the lower end of the first positioning sleeve 1 are equipped with self-lubricating bearings to ensure smooth movement and reduce wear. The user can adjust the distance between the first positioning ring 3 and the second positioning ring 4 according to the needs of use, thereby changing the tightness of the spring body 5 and realizing effective control of the stiffness of the entire spring body 5.
[0037] Specifically, the adjusting block 25 is a common hexagonal nut. During the adjustment of the spring body 5, the wrench is inserted into the inside of the second positioning sleeve 2 and placed on the outside of the adjusting block 25. At this time, the wrench is turned, which drives the positioning slider 24 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the adjusting screw 12 moves downward under the action of the positioning slider 24, which in turn drives the first positioning sleeve 1 to slide downward on the surface of the second positioning sleeve 2, which in turn drives the first positioning ring 3 to move downward. The first positioning ring 3 and the second positioning ring 4 cooperate to compress the spring body 5, thereby increasing the stiffness of the spring body 5. Conversely, the spring body 5 is relaxed, and the stiffness of the spring body 5 is reduced.
[0038] participate Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The upper end of the first positioning sleeve 1 is provided with a first threaded tooth 11, and the inner wall of the first positioning ring 3 is provided with a first threaded groove 33. The first positioning ring 3 and the first positioning sleeve 1 are threadedly connected by the first threaded tooth 11 and the first threaded groove 33. The lower end of the second positioning sleeve 2 is provided with a second threaded tooth 21, and the inner wall of the second positioning ring 4 is provided with a second threaded groove 43. The second positioning ring 4 and the second positioning sleeve 2 are threadedly connected by the second threaded tooth 21 and the second threaded groove 43. The upper surface of the first positioning ring 3 is fixedly connected with multiple sets of first connecting screws 32, and the lower surface of the second positioning ring 4 is fixedly connected with multiple sets of second connecting screws 42. The side wall of the first positioning ring 3 is provided with a first slot 31, and the side wall of the second positioning ring 4 is provided with a second slot 41. The upper and lower ends of the spring body 5 are both fixedly connected with locking blocks 51, and the upper and lower sets of locking blocks 51 are respectively locked inside the first slot 31 and the second slot 41.
[0039] In addition, during installation, the first positioning sleeve 1 is fitted onto the surface of the second positioning sleeve 2, and the adjusting screw 12 is passed through the insertion hole 22. Then, the positioning slider 24 and the adjusting block 25 are threadedly connected to the lower end of the adjusting screw 12, so that the first positioning sleeve 1 is locked onto the surface of the second positioning sleeve 2. Then, the second thread tooth 21 and the second thread groove 43 connect and fix the second positioning ring 4 to the lower end of the second positioning sleeve 2. Next, the spring body 5 is fitted onto the surface of the first positioning sleeve 1 and the second positioning sleeve 2, and the locking block 51 at the lower end of the spring body 5 is locked inside the second locking groove 41. Then, the first positioning ring 3 is connected and fixed to the upper end of the first positioning sleeve 1 using the first thread tooth 11 and the first thread groove 33, and the locking block 51 at the upper end of the spring body 5 is locked inside the first locking groove 31. Next, the stiffness of the spring body 5 is adjusted according to the actual use needs, and the spring is fixed inside the equipment using the first connecting screw 32 and the second connecting screw 42.
[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: By rotating the positioning slider 24 and the adjusting block 25, the effective sliding distance of the adjusting screw 12 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance between the first positioning ring 3 and the second positioning ring 4, pressing the spring body 5 to different degrees, and thus adjusting the stiffness of the spring. This allows the stiffness of the spring body 5 to be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different load conditions. At the same time, after the spring body 5 is sleeved on the surface of the first positioning sleeve 1 and the second positioning sleeve 2, the locking block 51 cooperates with the first locking groove 31 and the second locking groove 41 to improve the stability of the spring body 5 during use.
