Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of sizing machine couplings, and particularly relates to an improved automatic coupling for sizing machines. Background Technology

[0002] The sizing machine is used to process the outer diameter of the tube more precisely. Since each specification corresponds to a set of frames, the frames need to be changed quickly when changing specifications. The coupling that drives the frame rollers to rotate needs to be aligned and can be quickly connected.

[0003] Existing automatic couplings for sizing machines use drum-tooth splines, which, after prolonged use, result in poor alignment, making it impossible to effectively connect when replacing the frame. The output shaft uses involute splines, which gradually wear down and fail over time. Replacing the output shaft then requires complete disassembly of the reducer, making the replacement too costly. Therefore, we propose an improved automatic coupling for sizing machines. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing an improved automatic coupling for sizing machines, thus avoiding poor alignment of the coupling.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an improved automatic coupling for a sizing machine, including an output shaft, a spline head sleeved on the outer wall of the output shaft, a pressure cap bolted to the outer wall of the spline head, an inner spline sleeve fitted at the connection between the pressure cap and the spline head, a top plate fitted on the inner wall of the inner spline sleeve, and a spring provided at the connection between the top plate and the output shaft.

[0006] Based on the above structure, the output shaft and spline head are fitted with an interference fit, with an interference of 15 to 18 microns. The inner spline sleeve and the pressure cover are fitted with an involute spline with a module of 8 to ensure that they can withstand the large torque generated when the frame reduces the diameter of the steel pipe. Since the involute spline is used to connect to the frame, it can play a good centering role, and the service life is more than three times that of the past.

[0007] Preferably, the central axis of the output shaft coincides with the central axis of the spline head. In this embodiment, deformation of the output shaft during rotation is avoided.

[0008] Preferably, the output shaft and the spline head are fitted with an interference fit, with an interference amount of 15 to 18 microns. In this embodiment, this helps to improve the stability of the connection between the output shaft and the spline head.

[0009] Preferably, the central axis of the inner spline sleeve coincides with the central axis of the pressure cap, which is the control operation implemented in this embodiment.

[0010] Preferably, the inner spline sleeve and the pressure cap are slidably fitted using an involute spline with a module of eight. In this embodiment, this is beneficial for improving the stability of the connection between the inner spline sleeve and the pressure cap.

[0011] Preferably, the central axis of the output shaft coincides with the central axis of the top plate. In this embodiment, uneven force on the output shaft is avoided, which could lead to deformation of the output shaft.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] The improved automatic coupling of the sizing machine uses an interference fit between the output shaft and the spline head, with an interference of 15 to 18 microns. The inner spline sleeve and the gland use an involute spline for sliding fit, with a module of 8, to ensure that it can withstand the large torque generated when the machine frame reduces the diameter of the steel pipe. Because the involute spline is used to connect to the machine frame, it can play a good centering role, and its service life is more than three times that of the previous type.
