[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, an automatic tensioning mechanism for a synchronous belt pulley assembly is provided, including a base plate 1, a synchronous pulley assembly 2, an adjusting assembly 3, and a driving assembly 4. The synchronous pulley assembly 2 is connected to the base plate 1, the adjusting assembly 3 is disposed on the base plate 1 and connected to the driving assembly 4, and the driving assembly 4 is connected to the base plate 1.
[0033] The timing pulley assembly 2 includes a first timing pulley 21, a second timing pulley 22, and a timing belt 23. The first timing pulley 21 and the second timing pulley 22 are rotatably connected to the base plate 1, and the timing belt 23 is wound around the first timing pulley 21 and the second timing pulley 22 respectively.
[0034] The adjusting assembly 3 includes an adjusting groove 31, an adjusting plate 32, and an adjusting roller 33. The adjusting groove 31 is disposed on the base plate 1, and the adjusting plate 32 is movably disposed on the base plate 1 and disposed on one side of the adjusting groove 31. The adjusting roller 33 is rotatably connected to the adjusting plate 32 and is in pressure contact with the timing belt 23.
[0035] The drive assembly 4 includes a drive cylinder 41 and a drive block 42. The drive cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1 and the drive block 42 respectively. The drive block 42 is disposed in the adjustment groove 31 and is fixedly connected to the drive cylinder 41 and the adjustment plate 32 respectively.
[0036] The automatic tensioning mechanism for the synchronous belt pulley assembly provided in this application can automatically adjust the tension according to the slack of the synchronous belt 23 through the drive cylinder 41, realize the real-time dynamic adjustment of the tension, ensure the tension of the synchronous belt 23, thereby effectively improving the transmission accuracy, making the equipment operation more stable and reliable, and avoiding the problem of poor equipment performance caused by the decrease in transmission accuracy.
[0037] In another embodiment of this utility model, the first synchronous pulley 21 and the second synchronous pulley 22 are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart, and the adjusting roller 33 is disposed between the first synchronous pulley 21 and the second synchronous pulley 22. This ensures that the axes of the first synchronous pulley 21 and the second synchronous pulley 22 are parallel to each other, thereby ensuring the normal transmission of the synchronous belt 23. The synchronous belt 23 is wound around the first synchronous pulley 21 and the second synchronous pulley 22 respectively to form a transmission circuit.
[0038] In another embodiment of the present invention, a mounting groove 11 is provided on the substrate 1, and an adjustment plate 32 is movably disposed in the mounting groove 11.
[0039] In another embodiment of this utility model, one end of the adjusting roller 33 is rotatably connected to the adjusting plate 32, and the other end extends out of the synchronous belt 23. The length of the adjusting roller 33 is greater than the width of the synchronous belt 23. One end of the adjusting roller 33 is connected to the adjusting plate 32 via a rotating shaft, allowing it to rotate freely. The other end extends out of the synchronous belt 23, and the length of the adjusting roller 33 is greater than the width of the synchronous belt 23 to ensure that the adjusting roller 33 can completely cover the width direction of the synchronous belt 23, thereby uniformly applying tension to the synchronous belt 23. The adjusting roller 33 is in press-fit contact with the synchronous belt 23. When the adjusting plate 32 moves, the adjusting roller 33 moves accordingly, thereby generating a squeezing effect on the synchronous belt 23 and realizing the adjustment of tension.
[0040] In another embodiment of this utility model, the drive cylinder 41 includes a drive cylinder body 411 and a drive piston rod 412. The drive cylinder body 411 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1, and one end of the drive piston rod 412 is movably connected to the drive cylinder body 411, while the other end is fixedly connected to the drive block 42. When the drive cylinder 41 is working, the drive piston rod 412 extends or retracts, causing the drive block 42 to move within the adjusting groove 31. Since the drive block 42 is connected to the adjusting plate 32, it further causes the adjusting plate 32 to move within the mounting groove 11, thereby causing the adjusting roller 33 to tension or relax the synchronous belt 23.
[0041] In another embodiment of this utility model, the drive block 42 is arranged in an L-shape.
[0042] The automatic tensioning mechanism for synchronous belt pulleys provided in this application operates as follows:
[0043] When the timing belt 23 becomes slack during use, it needs to be tensioned. At this time, the drive cylinder 411 of the drive cylinder 41 provides power to the drive piston rod 412, causing the drive piston rod 412 to extend and drive the drive block 42 to move within the adjusting groove 31. Since the drive block 42 is connected to the adjusting plate 32, the adjusting plate 32 moves towards the timing belt 23 within the mounting groove 11 under the drive of the drive block 42. This causes the adjusting roller 33 to apply greater pressure to the timing belt 23, increasing the tension of the timing belt 23 and eliminating the slack. When the tension of the timing belt 23 is appropriate, the drive cylinder 41 stops operating, maintaining the current tension. Conversely, when it is necessary to loosen the timing belt 23, the drive cylinder 41 drives the piston rod 412 to retract, causing the drive block 42 and the adjusting plate 32 to move away from the timing belt 23. The pressure of the adjusting roller 33 on the timing belt 23 decreases, and the tension of the timing belt 23 decreases accordingly.
[0044] The automatic tensioning mechanism for the synchronous belt pulley assembly provided in this application can automatically adjust the tension according to the slack of the synchronous belt 23 through the drive cylinder 41, realize the real-time dynamic adjustment of the tension, ensure the tension of the synchronous belt 23, thereby effectively improving the transmission accuracy, making the equipment operation more stable and reliable, and avoiding the problem of poor equipment performance caused by the decrease in transmission accuracy.
[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
