Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spiral springs, and in particular to a spiral spring. Background Technology
[0002] A planar spiral spring, commonly known as a clockwork spring, is made of steel strip wound around a base. During use, one end is fixed, and when torque is applied to the other end, the material undergoes bending elastic deformation.
[0003] Because spiral springs have a flexible deformation space, they have a large pitch when in the initial state due to relaxation. The presence of this pitch increases the volume of the spiral spring, resulting in higher packaging and transportation costs. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, the width of the second fixing plate is smaller than the width of the second fixing groove, and the second torsion spring is located on both sides of the width direction of the second fixing plate.
[0012] Preferably, the length of the second fixing plate is less than the length of the second fixing groove, and the end of the second fixing plate away from the first rotating shaft is arc-shaped.
[0013] Preferably, after the first loop of the storage rope is fitted onto the first fixing plate, the second loop of the storage rope passes through the connecting hole to the side of the outer connecting plate away from the first fixing plate and wraps around the outermost circumference of the spring body once.

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0026] This application discloses a spiral spring.
[0027] Reference Figure 1-5 The spiral spring includes a spring body 1. The two ends of the spring body 1 are respectively bent into an inner connecting plate 2 and an outer connecting plate 3. The inner connecting plate 2 is provided with a mounting hole 21, and the outer connecting plate 3 is provided with a connecting hole 31. Both the mounting hole 21 and the connecting hole 31 are oblong holes, and are fixed to the parts that need to be connected through the mounting hole 21 and the connecting hole 31.
[0028] A storage rope 4 passes through the connecting hole 31. The storage rope 4 is sleeved on the outermost peripheral wall of the spring body 1. A positioning groove 11 is provided on the outermost peripheral surface of the spring body 1. The positioning groove 11 is located in the middle of the width direction of the spring body 1. The storage rope 4 is locked in the positioning groove 11 to prevent the storage rope 4 from falling off the spring body 1.
[0029] The two ends of the storage rope 4 are fixed to the outer connecting plate 3 by the first fixing component 5 and the second fixing component 6, respectively.
[0030] The first fixing component 5 includes a first fixing plate 51, a first rotating shaft 52, and a first torsion spring 53. A first fixing groove 32 is provided on one side of the outer connecting plate 3 in the thickness direction for the first fixing plate 51 to be accommodated and rotated. The thickness of the first fixing plate 51 is less than the depth of the first fixing groove 32. The first fixing plate 51 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first fixing groove 32 through the first rotating shaft 52. Both ends of the first rotating shaft 52 are fixed to the inner wall of the first fixing groove 32. The first rotating shaft 52 passes through the first fixing plate 51 and is rotatably connected to the first fixing plate 51. The first torsion spring 53 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 52. One end of the first torsion spring 53 is fixed to the inner wall of the first fixing groove 32, and the other end of the first torsion spring 53 is fixed to the side wall of the first fixing plate 51. The first torsion spring 53 applies a force to the first fixing plate 51, causing the end of the first fixing plate 51 away from the first rotating shaft 52 to rotate toward the first fixing groove 32. A first collar 41 is provided at one end of the storage rope 4, and the first collar 41 is sleeved on the first fixing plate 51.
[0031] The width of the first fixing plate 51 is smaller than the width of the first fixing groove 32, and the first torsion spring 53 is located on both sides of the width direction of the first fixing plate 51 to improve the uniformity of the force on the first fixing plate 51.
[0032] The length of the first fixing plate 51 is less than the length of the first fixing groove 32. The end of the first fixing plate 51 away from the first rotating shaft 52 is arc-shaped, which facilitates the rotation of the first fixing plate 51.
[0033] The second fixing component 6 includes a second fixing plate 61, a second rotating shaft 62, and a second torsion spring 63. The second fixing plate 61 and the first fixing plate 51 are located on opposite sides of the outer connecting plate 3 in the thickness direction. A second fixing groove 33 is formed on the other side of the outer connecting plate 3 in the thickness direction, allowing the second fixing plate 61 to be accommodated and rotated. The thickness of the second fixing plate 61 is less than the depth of the second fixing groove 33. The second fixing plate 61 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second fixing groove 33 via the second rotating shaft 62. Both ends of the second rotating shaft 62 are fixed to the inner wall of the second fixing groove 33. The second rotating shaft 62 passes through the second fixed plate 61 and is rotatably connected to the second fixed plate 61. The second torsion spring 63 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 62. One end of the second torsion spring 63 is fixed to the inner wall of the second fixed groove 33, and the other end of the second torsion spring 63 is fixed to the side wall of the second fixed plate 61. The second torsion spring 63 applies a force to the second fixed plate 61, causing the end of the second fixed plate 61 away from the second rotating shaft 62 to rotate inward toward the second fixed groove 33. The other end of the storage rope 4 is provided with a second collar 42, which is sleeved on the second fixed plate 61.
[0034] The width of the second fixing plate 61 is smaller than the width of the second fixing groove 33, and the second torsion spring 63 is located on both sides of the width direction of the second fixing plate 61 to improve the uniformity of the force on the second fixing plate 61.
[0035] The length of the second fixing plate 61 is less than the length of the second fixing groove 33. The end of the second fixing plate 61 away from the first rotating shaft 52 is arc-shaped, which facilitates the rotation of the second fixing plate 61.
[0036] After the first loop 41 of the storage rope 4 is fitted onto the first fixing plate 51, the second loop 42 of the storage rope 4 passes through the connecting hole 31 to the side of the outer connecting plate 3 away from the first fixing plate 51 and wraps around the outermost circumference of the spring body 1. Then, the second loop 42 of the storage rope 4 passes through the connecting hole 31 from one side of the first fixing plate 51 and is fitted onto the second fixing plate 61.
[0037] By binding and storing the spring body 1 with the storage rope 4, the spring body 1 is restricted from springing open, thereby increasing the packaging space and saving the packaging and transportation costs of the spiral spring.
[0038] The implementation principle of a spiral spring in this application embodiment is as follows:
[0039] When tying up the spiral spring, the first loop 41 of the storage rope 4 is placed on the first fixing plate 51. Then, the second loop 42 of the storage rope 4 is passed through the connecting hole 31 to the side of the outer connecting plate 3 away from the first fixing plate 51 and wrapped around the outermost circumference of the spring body 1. Then, it is passed through the connecting hole 31 from one side of the first fixing plate 51 and placed on the second fixing plate 61. When the spiral spring is needed, the first loop 41 and the second loop 42 can be removed. The operation is convenient.
[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
