[0002] A belt tensioner is a crucial component of a belt drive system, consisting of a housing, springs, and other parts. It automatically adjusts belt tension, providing appropriate tension to prevent slippage when the belt wears, becomes slack, or experiences tension fluctuations due to load changes. This ensures the normal operation and transmission efficiency of equipment such as automotive engines and industrial production lines.
[0003] Utility model patent CN212225905U discloses a belt tensioner with optimized wrench mouth position. The belt tensioner includes a tensioning arm; a first end of the tensioning arm is fixed to a base via a mounting bolt; no other structures are mounted on the upper surface of the first end of the tensioning arm; a bolt is fixed to the second end of the tensioning arm; a pulley is mounted on the bolt via a bearing and can rotate around the bolt; a dust cover is provided above the bearing; a through hole is provided in the dust cover; the end of the bolt extends beyond the through hole of the dust cover. This utility model saves on the number of parts, reduces costs, and does not affect the use of the belt tensioner itself.
[0004] In the aforementioned prior art, it is inconvenient to adjust the tension during the use of the tensioner, which can lead to problems such as the belt slipping due to wear, stretching, or load changes, or excessive wear due to excessive tightness. Furthermore, the tensioner relies on a support spring for support, but the support spring is not easy to remove from the device, making it difficult to maintain. Damage to the support spring can affect the operation of the tensioner. Utility Model Content

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The adjusting mechanism 8 includes a connecting block 81. The connecting block 81 is slidably connected inside the connecting rod 5 and is slidably connected to the base 1. The connecting block 81 is threadedly connected to a screw 82, which is rotatably connected to the base 1 via a bearing. A bevel gear 83 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the screw 82, and a bevel gear 84 meshes with the outside of the bevel gear 83. A knob 85 is fixedly connected to the outside of the bevel gear 84 and is rotatably connected to the base 1 via a bearing. A guide block 86 is fixedly connected to the left end of the connecting rod 5 and is slidably connected to the base 1. A guide groove 87 is provided inside the base 1, and the guide block 86 is slidably connected inside the guide groove 87. By designing the guide groove 87, the guide block 86 can slide along the base 1. By designing the adjusting mechanism 8, the relative position of the connecting rod 5 and the base 1 can be easily adjusted.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 The connecting mechanism 9 includes a pull rod 91, which is slidably sleeved inside the base 1. A plug 92 is fixedly connected to the outside of the pull rod 91. The plug 92 is slidably connected to both the base 1 and the support 2. A slot 93 is provided inside the support 2, and the plug 92 is slidably connected inside the slot 93. The slot 93 is designed so that the plug 92 can slide inside the support 2. A slider 94 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the pull rod 91. The slider 94 is slidably connected to the base 1. A retaining spring 95 is provided inside the base 1. One end of the retaining spring 95 is fixedly connected to the slider 94, and the other end of the retaining spring 95 is fixedly connected to the base 1.

[0025] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the belt passes through the lower part of the upper guide wheel 7, and at the same time, the belt passes through the end of the side guide wheel 10 away from the base 1, which can support the belt for transmission. The upper guide wheel 7 can elastically support the belt by relying on the support spring 4. It can maintain a stable tension state during belt transmission by buffering vibration, compensating for belt wear and tension changes, and ensuring the smooth operation of the transmission system.
[0026] When the elastic force of the support spring 4 needs to be adjusted, simply turn the knob 85. The knob 85 drives the second bevel gear 84 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 83 to rotate. The first bevel gear 83 drives the screw 82 to rotate, causing the connecting block 81 to make a threaded movement. The connecting block 81 will pull the connecting rod 5 down, and the connecting rod 5 will drive the guide block 86 to slide along the guide groove 87. The connecting rod 5 can press down on the support spring 4, making the elastic support force of the support spring 4 adjustable and flexibly adjusting the tension of the belt drive.
[0027] When it is necessary to disassemble the support base 2, pull the lever 91 outwards. The lever 91 drives the slider 94 to move, and the slider 94 will press against the clamping spring 95. At the same time, the lever 91 will drive the magnetic block 96 to move horizontally, and the lever 91 will also drive the insertion block 92 to move horizontally. When the magnetic block 96 is attracted to the magnet 97, the insertion block 92 will be pulled out from the inside of the support base 2. Then the support base 2 and the connecting rod 5 can be taken out from the inside of the base 1, and the support spring 4 can be taken out for easy maintenance.
[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
