Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spring technology, and more specifically, to a fracture-resistant tension spring. Background Technology
[0002] In the fields of mechanical engineering and various equipment manufacturing, tension springs, as a basic elastic element, are widely used in many devices that require elastic force, buffering, or reset functions. However, traditional tension springs often face the risk of breakage due to factors such as overstretching, fatigue wear, or external impact during actual use. Once a tension spring breaks, it not only affects the normal operation of the equipment but may even cause safety accidents, resulting in serious economic losses and personal injuries. Although some optimized designs for tension springs have emerged in existing technologies, there are still many shortcomings in preventing breakage. For example, some designs attempt to solve the breakage problem simply by increasing the strength of the spring material, but this method is often limited by the performance bottlenecks of the material itself and may increase production costs and processing difficulties; some designs use simple limiting structures, but these limiting structures are mostly single-function, unable to accurately control the spring's extension, and cannot effectively adapt to the usage requirements under different working conditions. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, this utility model addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by proposing a fracture-resistant tension spring, aiming to solve at least one of the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] This utility model provides a fracture-resistant tension spring, comprising: a top plate, the top of which is provided with a plurality of connecting grooves, and a connecting rod is provided inside the connecting groove, the two ends of the connecting rod being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove respectively;
[0005] A spring is disposed at the bottom of the top plate, and the top of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate;
[0006] A base plate is disposed at the bottom of the spring, and the top of the base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring;
[0007] Two limiting components are provided, which are disposed on both sides of the spring. The top and bottom of the two limiting components are fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate and the top of the bottom plate, respectively.
[0008] In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the top plate matches the outer diameter of the bottom plate.
[0009] In some embodiments, the connecting rod coincides with the transverse axis of the connecting groove.
[0010] In some embodiments, the spring coincides with the centerline of the top plate and the bottom plate.
[0011] In some embodiments, the transverse cross-section of both the top plate and the bottom plate is rectangular.
[0012] In some embodiments, the limiting component includes:
[0013] The top of the first limiting post is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate, and the bottom of the first limiting post is fixedly connected to the first limiting plate.
[0014] The first sleeve has a first opening at its top and a second limiting plate fixedly connected to its bottom. The first limiting post extends into the interior of the first sleeve, and the side wall of the first limiting plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first sleeve.
[0015] In some embodiments, the limiting component further includes:
[0016] The bottom of the second limiting post is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate;
[0017] The second sleeve is disposed at the top of the second limiting post. The bottom of the second sleeve is fixedly connected to the top of the second limiting post. The top of the second sleeve is provided with a second opening. The first sleeve extends into the interior of the second sleeve, and the second limiting plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second sleeve.
[0018] In some embodiments, the first limiting post has a plurality of first through holes arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first limiting post, and the first sleeve has a plurality of second through holes corresponding to the plurality of first through holes. The first sleeve is fixedly connected to the first limiting post by a limiting rod passing through the first through holes and the second through holes in sequence.
[0019] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the first opening matches the outer diameter of the first limiting post, the first limiting post is slidably connected to the first opening, and the inner diameter of the first opening is smaller than the outer diameter of the first limiting plate.
[0020] The outer diameter of the first sleeve matches the inner diameter of the second opening, and the first sleeve is slidably connected to the second opening. The inner diameter of the second opening is smaller than the outer diameter of the second limiting plate.
[0021] In some embodiments, a handle is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first sleeve.
[0022] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: Through a unique limiting component design, the maximum extension of the spring can be precisely limited. The first sleeve slides in conjunction with the first limiting post and can be fixed by a limiting rod passing through the corresponding through hole. This structure allows for flexible adjustment of the spring's upper extension limit according to actual needs, preventing the spring from reaching or exceeding its elastic limit due to overstretching, thus greatly reducing the risk of spring breakage due to overstretching. The limiting component is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the spring with the spring as the axis, and its top and bottom are fixedly connected to the top plate and bottom plate respectively, forming a stable support and limiting frame. During spring operation, this frame effectively constrains the spring's deformation, preventing irregular twisting or bending when subjected to external forces, further enhancing the overall structural stability of the spring and reducing the possibility of breakage due to uneven deformation and local stress concentration. Multiple connecting grooves and connecting rods on the top plate make the connection between the top plate and other components more stable and reliable. The two ends of the connecting rod are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove, ensuring that the top plate will not easily shift or deform when subjected to external force, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the entire tension spring device during operation and reducing the risk of safety accidents that may be caused by loosening or failure of the connection parts.
