[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN220769801U, which discloses an adjusting device for an automotive engine coolant pump. This device allows for flexible adjustment of the width of the pulley by adding a washer to the upper end of the inner stud of the pulley. This enables the pulley to be adapted to the connection of belts of various sizes, thus improving its applicability. However, after adding the washer, a gap will exist between the movable frame and the pulley. During the operation of the belt, its inner wall will come into contact with the edge of the pulley, causing rapid wear on the inner wall of the belt and shortening its service life.

In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. This utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0023] Reference Figures 1-5This utility model provides an adjustment device for an automotive engine coolant pump, including a coolant pump body 1. One end of a rotating shaft inside the coolant pump body 1 is fixedly connected to a pulley 2 by bolts. A movable frame 3 is slidably connected inside the cavity of the pulley 2. Two symmetrical through-holes 10 are provided on one side of the movable frame 3. Studs 4, which mate with the two through-holes 10, are welded to the inner wall of one side of the cavity of the pulley 2. Nuts 5 are threaded onto both studs 4, and one side of each nut 5 is in close contact with the inner wall of one side of the movable frame 3. At least two nuts 5 are present on the same stud 4. When adjusting the pulley 2 on the coolant pump body 1, the multiple nuts 5 on the studs 4 are first removed, and then the movable frame 3 is slowly removed along the cavity inside the pulley 2. On the outer circumference of the movable frame 3 and the two studs 4, and between the inner wall of the cavity on one side of the movable frame 3 and the pulley 2, there are multiple shims 6 of the same number. On the circumferential side wall of the pulley 2, between it and the movable frame 3, there is an intermediate washer 7, one less than the number of shims 6 in the same group. An end washer 8 is located between the intermediate washer 7 and the movable frame 3, near the movable frame 3. The intermediate washer 7 and the end washer 8 work together to fill the gap between the movable frame 3 and the pulley 2, preventing wear caused by friction with the edge of the pulley 2 during belt operation. A positioning assembly is provided between the multiple intermediate washer 7 for positioning. The positioning assembly includes at least four positioning grooves 11 arranged in a circular array on one side of the intermediate washer 7. When the movable frame 3 is removed... Then, according to the required thickness of the belt, a corresponding number of washers 6 are fitted onto the stud 4. After the washers 6 are installed, an intermediate washer 7, one less than the number of washers 6 in the same group, is installed on the circular tube wall of the pulley 2. During the installation of the intermediate washer 7, the positioning block 9 on one side is embedded into the positioning groove 11 of the previous intermediate washer 7. After the intermediate washer 7 is installed, an end washer 8 is installed, and during the installation, the positioning block 9 on one side of it is embedded into the positioning groove 11 on one side of the previous intermediate washer 7. By providing a positioning component, the multiple intermediate washer 7s can be positioned relative to each other and between the intermediate washer 7s and the end washer 8, preventing them from rotating relative to each other during operation, which would cause a gap between the movable frame 3 and the pulley 2, leading to belt wear. In this configuration, the other side of the intermediate washer 7 and both sides of the end washer 8 are welded with positioning blocks 9 that correspond one-to-one with the positioning grooves 11. The circular tube wall of the pulley 2 also has a number of positioning grooves 11 corresponding to the same intermediate washer 7. These multiple positioning grooves 11 on one side of the circular tube wall of the pulley 2 correspond one-to-one with the positioning blocks 9 on the intermediate washer 7 closest to it. The movable frame 3 also has positioning grooves 11 on one side that correspond to the positioning blocks 9 on one side of the end washer 8. After the end washer 8 is installed, the movable frame 3 is slid into the cavity on the pulley 2. During this sliding process, the positioning grooves 11 on the movable frame 3 are embedded into the positioning blocks 9 on the side of the end washer 8. After complete submersion, the nut 5 is reinstalled on the exposed stud 4.Furthermore, at least two nuts 5 must be installed on the same stud 4. After installation, the width of the pulley 2 can be adjusted.
[0024] In this utility model, the positioning blocks 9 welded on both sides of the end washer 8 correspond one-to-one with the positions of multiple positioning blocks 9 on the adjacent middle washer 7.
[0025] In this invention, the thickness of the intermediate washer 7, the end washer 8, and the washer 6 are the same. The thickness of the positioning block 9 is the same as the depth of the positioning groove 11. The width of the intermediate washer 7 and the end washer 8 is the same as the thickness of the cylindrical wall of the pulley 2. The outer circumference of the intermediate washer 7, the outer circumference of the end washer 8, and the outer circumference of the pulley 2 are all coated with a coating to reduce frictional resistance. The coating is preferably a graphite coating. By providing a graphite coating, the frictional resistance between the pulley 2, the intermediate washer 7, the end washer 8, and the belt can be effectively reduced, the transmission effect can be increased, the wear of the belt can be reduced, and the service life of the belt can be extended.
[0026] The use of this utility model involves the following steps:
[0027] S1: When it is necessary to adjust the pulley 2 on the cooling water pump body 1, first remove the multiple nuts 5 on the stud 4, and then slowly remove the movable frame 3 along the concave cavity inside the pulley 2.
[0028] S2: After removing the movable frame 3, fit the corresponding number of shims 6 on the stud 4 according to the required thickness of the belt. After the shims 6 are installed, install an intermediate washer 7 on the round tube wall of the pulley 2, which is one less than the shims 6 in the same group. During the installation of the intermediate washer 7, the positioning block 9 on one side is embedded into the positioning groove 11 of the previous intermediate washer 7.
[0029] S3: After the intermediate washer 7 is installed, install an end washer 8 and during the installation process, the positioning block 9 on one side of it is embedded into the positioning groove 11 on the side of the previous intermediate washer 7. After the end washer 8 is installed, slide the movable frame 3 along the cavity on the pulley 2. During the sliding process, make its positioning groove 11 embed into the positioning block 9 on the side of the previous end washer 8. After it is fully submerged, reinstall the nut 5 on the exposed stud 4, and install at least two nuts 5 on the same stud 4. After the installation is completed, the width adjustment of the pulley 2 can be completed.
