Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air shaft equipment technology, specifically an air shaft. Background Technology
[0002] An air shaft, also known as a pneumatic shaft, expansion shaft, air-filled shaft, or pressure shaft, is a special type of winding and unwinding shaft. It is a shaft whose surface (referring to the key bar) protrudes after being inflated under high pressure, and whose surface (referring to the key bar) quickly retracts after deflating. Air shafts have a wide range of applications; they can be used in any machine that performs winding, unwinding, or slitting, and even in the light metal industry.
[0003] Application number CN202022867738.1 discloses an air shaft, including a shaft body, a housing mounted on the outside of the shaft body, an expansion tube disposed inside the housing, and multiple sets of expansion key cavities evenly installed on the outside of the housing. Each expansion key cavity contains an expansion key body, and a connecting rod located inside the housing is fixedly connected to the bottom of the expansion key body. The expansion key body is fixedly connected to the expansion tube via the connecting rod. An air inlet is provided at the top end of the housing, and an air outlet is provided at the bottom end. This invention, through the use of mounting bolts and mutually cooperating mounting holes, makes the disassembly and replacement of the expansion key body of the entire device simpler and faster. The sealing cap improves the sealing effect of the air inlet and outlet, and the fixing bolts facilitate the disassembly of the housing, resulting in better cleaning of the entire device by the operator.
[0004] The air shaft disclosed in the above document has the following defects: during the use of the air shaft, the structure needs to be fixedly installed with the motor, and the other end of the air shaft needs to be horizontally placed on the ground to cooperate with the motor to rotate. The air shaft does not have a connection structure that is easy to disassemble and assemble, and it is cumbersome when the structure needs to be disassembled and assembled.
[0005] Therefore, it can be seen that the existing air shaft does not have a convenient disassembly and assembly connection structure. It is necessary to improve the existing shortcomings and provide a connection structure that can be easily disassembled and assembled. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing plate is provided on the outer wall of the other side of the bearing ring, and a retaining ring is provided on the outer wall of the sealing plate. The ball bearing is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the retaining ring. The purpose of this arrangement is that, during the use of the air shaft body, the ball bearing is fixed on both sides by the retaining ring and the sleeve plate, the mounting rod is positioned around the perimeter by the retaining groove, and then the sleeve plate is fixed to the bearing ring by bolts and the sleeve plate, so that the mounting rod is fixed and rotates inside the ball bearing.
[0010] Furthermore, bolts are threaded onto the inner walls of the sealing plate, with one end of each bolt penetrating the sealing plate, bearing ring, and sleeve plate. Nuts are threaded onto the outer walls of the bolts, and these nuts are located on the outer walls of the sleeve plate. This design allows the sleeve plate and sealing plate to be fixedly connected by bolts and nuts during use of the air shaft body. It also facilitates disassembly and assembly when the mounting rod of the air shaft body needs to be removed, thus improving the flexibility of the air shaft body.
[0011] Furthermore, hooks are provided on the top two outer walls of the bearing ring, and mounting seats are welded on the bottom two outer walls of the bearing ring. The purpose of this arrangement is to horizontally fix the two mounting seats to the machine during the use of the air shaft body, so that the air shaft body is horizontally fixed to the machine for use, and the hooks facilitate lifting and moving the fixing structure and mounting rod.
[0012] Furthermore, the air shaft body includes a shaft, with the mounting rod located at one end of the shaft, and expansion key blocks installed on the outer wall of the shaft. This arrangement is intended so that, during use, the port of the mounting rod is connected to an air inlet pipe, allowing gas to enter the mounting rod and causing the expansion key blocks around the shaft to expand outwards.
[0013] Furthermore, a retaining block is welded to the other end of the shaft, and a threaded rod is welded to one end of the retaining block. The purpose of this arrangement is that, during the use of the air shaft body, it is used in conjunction with a motor via the threaded rod, and the retaining block reinforces the connection between the threaded rod and the motor.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] (1) This utility model uses ball bearings, retaining rings and sleeve plates to fix the two sides of the ball bearings, and uses the retaining rings and sleeve plates to position the mounting rod around the perimeter, so that the mounting rod is fixed in the ball bearing and rotates. The two mounting seats are horizontally fixed on the machine, so that the air shaft body is horizontally fixed on the machine for use. The hook makes it easy to lift the fixed structure and mounting rod for transportation. The sleeve plate and sealing plate are fixedly connected by bolts and nuts. When it is necessary to remove the mounting rod of the air shaft body, it is easy to disassemble and assemble, which improves the flexibility of the air shaft body.

When the shaft 101 drives the mounting rod 102 to rotate, the mounting rod 102 drives the ball bearing 202 to rotate within the bearing ring 201. The retaining ring 210 and the sleeve 205 fix both sides of the ball bearing 202. The groove 208 positions the mounting rod 102 around its perimeter. The sleeve 205 is then fixed to the bearing ring 201 by bolts 200 and the sleeve 205 together, so that the mounting rod 102 is fixed and rotates within the ball bearing 202. The two mounting seats 204 are horizontally fixed to the machine, so that the air shaft body 1 is horizontally fixed to the machine for use. The hook 203 facilitates the lifting and handling of the fixing structure 2 and the mounting rod 102. The sleeve 205 and the sealing plate 209 are fixedly connected by bolts 200 and nuts 207. When it is necessary to remove the mounting rod 102 of the air shaft body 1, it is convenient to disassemble and assemble, thus improving the flexibility of the air shaft body 1.
[0026] A sealing plate 209 is provided on the outer wall of the bearing ring 201 on the other side. A retaining ring 210 is provided on the outer wall of the sealing plate 209. The ball bearing 202 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the retaining ring 210. The purpose of this arrangement is that, during the use of the air shaft body 1, the ball bearing 202 is fixed on both sides by the retaining ring 210 and the sleeve plate 205, the mounting rod 102 is positioned around the perimeter by the retaining groove 208, and the sleeve plate 205 is fixed to the bearing ring 201 by bolts 200 and the sleeve plate 205, so that the mounting rod 102 is fixed and rotates inside the ball bearing 202.
[0027] Bolts 200 are threaded onto the inner walls of the sealing plate 209. One end of each bolt 200 passes through the sealing plate 209, the bearing ring 201, and the sleeve plate 205.
