Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A tensioner is a device used to precisely control the tension of materials (such as cables, films, strips, fabrics, etc.) during processing or transmission. It is widely used in industries such as textiles, printing, packaging, wire and cable, metal processing, and plastic film production. Its core function is to maintain the stability of material tension to ensure the continuity of the production process and the consistency of product quality.

[0003] Existing tensioners cannot precisely adjust the capacity during cable transmission. After prolonged use, the lubricating grease on the guide wheel dries out, exacerbating friction loss and accelerating component damage. Worn guide wheels increase running resistance, leading to increased motor load and energy consumption. Therefore, we propose a tensioner that is easy to adjust. Utility Model Content

[0023] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 3 includes a fixed block 31 fixedly connected to the outer frame 1, a slide rod 32 fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed block 31, a first slider 33 slidably connected to the outer side of the slide rod 32, and two sets of electric telescopic rods 34 installed on the inner side of the fixed block 31. The output shaft of the electric telescopic rod 34 is fixedly connected to the first slider 33.

[0024] Specifically, the output shafts of the two sets of electric telescopic rods 34 fixedly installed on the fixed block 31 extend simultaneously, and the electric telescopic rods 34 drive the first slider 33 to move outside the slider 32.

[0025] In this embodiment, a spring 35 is provided at the lower end of the first slider 33 on the outer side of the slide bar 32. One end of the spring 35 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 31, and the other end of the spring 35 is fixedly connected to the first slider 33.

[0026] Specifically, the spring 35 on the outside of the slide bar 32 can absorb mechanical impact energy and slow down vibration transmission.

[0027] In this embodiment, the front end of the first slider 33 is fixedly connected to the second slider 36, and the front end of the second slider 36 is rotatably connected to the guide wheel 37.

[0028] Specifically, the first slider 33 drives the guide wheel 37 to move downward through the second slider 36, so that the cable is embedded in the recess.

[0029] In this embodiment, the oiling mechanism 4 includes a chuck 41 rotatably connected to the outer frame 1. Three sets of planetary gears 42 are meshed on the inner side of the chuck 41, and an external gear shaft 43 is meshed on the outer side of the three sets of planetary gears 42. One end of the external gear shaft 43 is fixedly connected to the synchronous pulley 5.

[0030] Specifically, the synchronizing wheel 5 drives the external gear shaft 43 in the oiling mechanism 4 to rotate, and the external gear shaft 43 drives the chuck 41 to rotate in the opposite direction through three sets of planetary gears 42.

[0031] In this embodiment, a groove 44 is provided on the outer side of the external gear shaft 43, a ball bearing 45 is slidably connected to the inner side of the groove 44, a drive shaft 46 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the ball bearing 45, and a storage box 47 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft 46.

[0032] Specifically, when the external gear shaft 43 rotates in the opposite direction to the storage box 47, it can drive the ball bearing 45 to slide in the groove 44, and the ball bearing 45 drives the transmission shaft 46 to move accordingly.

[0033] In this embodiment, multiple sets of troughs 48 are provided on the inner side of the storage box 47, a brush strip 49 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the storage box 47, and a hollow plate 410 is slidably connected to the outer side of the storage box 47. One end of the hollow plate 410 is fixedly connected to the chuck 41.

[0034] Specifically, the drive shaft 46 drives the storage box 47 to rotate and slide repeatedly inside the hollow plate 410. The lubricating oil in the storage box 47 flows out through the trough 48 and is absorbed by the brush strip 49. The brush strip 49 applies the lubricating oil to the outside of the guide wheel 37.

[0035] Working principle: In use, one end of the cable is placed on the upper end of a set of damping wheels 2 and passed through a groove on one side of the outer frame 1. Then, it passes sequentially through the upper end of the guide wheel 37 in one set of adjustment mechanisms 3 and the lower end of another set of guide wheels 37, and passes through a groove on the other side of the outer frame 1. This drives the output shafts of the two sets of electric telescopic rods 34 fixed by the fixing block 31 in one set of adjustment mechanisms 3 to extend simultaneously. The electric telescopic rods 34 drive the first slider 33 to move outside the slide rod 32. The first slider 33 drives the guide wheel 37 to move downward through the second slider 36, so that the cable is embedded in the recess. Then, the output shaft of the electric telescopic rod 34 in the other set of adjustment mechanisms 3 is extended, driving the guide wheel 37 to move upward, so that the cable is embedded in the recess. Under the tension of the two sets of guide wheels 37, the cable presents an "S" shape. The output shaft of the electric telescopic rod 34 is adjusted according to the needs to control the tension. After completion, the cable can be driven for transmission. The cable will vibrate during transmission. The spring 35 on the outside of the slide rod 32 can absorb the mechanical impact energy and reduce the vibration. Vibration is transmitted, and after prolonged use, the lubricating grease on the guide wheel 37 dries out. When the electric telescopic rod 34 is not driven, the guide wheel 37 is concentric with the storage box 47. The drive motor 7 rotates, driving a set of synchronous pulleys 5 to rotate. One set of synchronous pulleys 5 drives another set of synchronous pulleys 5 to rotate via the synchronous belt 6. The synchronous pulleys 5 drive the external gear shaft 43 in the oiling mechanism 4 to rotate. The external gear shaft 43 drives the chuck 41 to rotate in the opposite direction via three sets of planetary gears 42. The chuck 41 drives the storage box 47 to rotate via the hollow plate 410. When the external gear shaft 43 and the storage box 47 rotate in opposite directions, the ball bearing 45 can slide in the groove 44. The ball bearing 45 drives the transmission shaft 46 to move accordingly. The transmission shaft 46 drives the storage box 47 to rotate and slide repeatedly inside the hollow plate 410. The lubricating oil in the storage box 47 flows out through the trough 48 and is absorbed by the brush strip 49. The brush strip 49 applies the lubricating oil to the outside of the guide wheel 37. The lubricating oil flows into the pit through the inclined surface of the guide wheel 37, reducing friction loss and preventing damage to the parts.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
