Detailed Implementation
[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] The purpose of this invention is to provide a connection structure between a roller and a motor to solve the problems existing in the prior art. The structure is simple, the manufacturing cost is low, and it is easy to install.
[0033] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0034] like Figures 1-9 As shown, this utility model provides a connection structure between a roller and a motor, applied to an existing electric roller 100, for realizing the transmission connection between the roller body 101 and the motor body 102 inside the roller body 101. Specifically, it includes a tensioning structure 200, with a motor connection hole 2011 on its inner side, which is used to connect to the output shaft of the motor body 102 in the electric roller 100. The outer side of the tensioning structure 200 has multiple protrusions 2041, which are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the outer wall of the tensioning structure 200. The protrusions 2041, by their own weight and elasticity, can abut against the inner wall of the roller body 101 in the electric roller 100, thereby achieving an interference fit between the tensioning structure 200 and the roller body 101, and ultimately realizing the transmission connection between the motor body 102 and the roller body 101 using the tensioning structure 200.
[0035] During actual installation, simply insert the output shaft of the motor body 102 into the motor connection hole 2011 in the tensioning structure 200. The protrusions 2041 on the outer wall of the tensioning structure 200 will abut against the inner wall of the roller body 101, thus forming an interference fit and achieving relative fixation between the tensioning structure 200 and the roller body 101. When the motor body 102 is started, the output shaft of the motor body 102 can drive the roller body 101 to rotate through the tensioning mechanism.
[0036] In this embodiment, the tensioning structure 200 includes, from the inside out, a shaft extension spline ring 201, a spline ring sleeve 202, a tolerance ring fixing seat 203, and a tolerance ring body 204. The center of the shaft extension spline ring 201 is the motor connection hole 2011 of the tensioning structure 200, used for connection to the output shaft of the motor body 102. The outer wall of the tolerance ring body 204 has a plurality of protrusions 2041 of the tensioning structure 200 evenly distributed around its circumference, used to abut against the inner wall of the roller body 101.
[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the motor connection hole 2011 is an internal hexagonal hole, and the end of the output shaft of the motor body 102 has a hexagonal prism structure. The cross-sectional dimensions of the output shaft of the motor body 102 match the dimensions of the motor connection hole 2011, allowing the output shaft of the motor body 102 to be inserted into the motor connection hole 2011. To ensure a stable connection between the output shaft of the motor body 102 and the shaft extension spline ring 201, an interference fit can be used between the motor connection hole 2011 and the output shaft of the motor body 102.
[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the outer wall of the shaft extension spline ring 201 is circumferentially distributed with a plurality of first external splines 2012, and the inner wall of the spline ring sleeve 202 is circumferentially distributed with a plurality of first internal keyways 2021. The number of first external splines 2012 and the number of first internal keyways 2021 are the same and their distribution positions correspond one-to-one. Each first external spline 2012 can be set in the corresponding first internal keyway 2021, thereby realizing the fixation between the shaft extension spline ring 201 and the spline ring sleeve 202.
[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, multiple second external splines 2022 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer wall of the spline ring sleeve 202. In this embodiment, the second external splines 2022 are actually the outer side of the first inner keyway 2021. The advantage of this design is that it can reduce the thickness of the spline ring sleeve 202, thereby reducing manufacturing costs. Multiple second inner keyways 2031 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the inner wall of the tolerance ring fixing seat 203. The number of second external splines 2022 is the same as the number of second inner keyways 2031, and their distribution positions correspond one-to-one. Each second external spline 2022 is set in a corresponding second inner keyway 2031, thereby realizing the fixation between the spline ring sleeve 202 and the tolerance ring fixing seat 203.
[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the outer wall of the tolerance ring fixing seat 203 is provided with an annular tolerance ring mounting groove 2032, and the tolerance ring body 204 is an unclosed annular structure. The tolerance ring body 204 can be installed in the tolerance ring mounting groove 2032, thereby realizing the connection between the tolerance ring fixing seat 203 and the tolerance ring body 204.
[0041] In this embodiment, from Figure 8 As can be seen, multiple mounting groove baffles 2033 are evenly distributed on both sides of the tolerance ring mounting groove 2032. The mounting groove baffles 2033 on both sides abut against the two sides of the tolerance ring body 204, and the tolerance ring body 204 moves to both sides (i.e., in the axial direction of the tolerance ring fixing seat 203).
[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the tolerance ring mounting groove 2032 is provided with a mounting groove mating block 2034, and the tolerance ring body 204 is provided with a tolerance ring opening slit 2042. When the tolerance ring body 204 is installed on the tolerance ring mounting groove 2032, the mounting groove mating block 2034 is located at the tolerance ring opening slit 2042. The purpose of this arrangement is to prevent the tolerance ring body 204 from rotating at a certain angle due to friction with the inner wall of the roller body 101.
[0043] In this embodiment, the tolerance ring body 204 is made of 304 stainless steel, which has good plastic deformation capability. There are two purposes for choosing this material: first, it facilitates the tolerance ring body 204 to be snapped onto the tolerance ring mounting groove 2032; second, it makes the protrusion 2041 itself have a certain elasticity. When the protrusion 2041 is compressed by the inner wall of the roller body 101, it will generate a radial rebound force, tightly clamping the inner wall of the roller body 101, thereby realizing the connection between the roller body 101 and the tensioning structure 200.
[0044] In this embodiment, the spline ring sleeve 202 is made of polyurethane, and its function is to reduce the vibration and noise generated by the frequent start and stop of the motor body 102.
[0045] Furthermore, the materials of the shaft extension spline ring 201 and the tolerance ring fixing seat 203 in this embodiment include, but are not limited to, existing zinc alloys.
[0046] This invention breaks away from the traditional technical solution of tightening elastic parts with bolts to achieve tension. Instead, it uses a spline structure connection, which is easy to assemble, has a reliable and simple structure, and saves material and labor costs.
[0047] Furthermore, regarding the connection relationship between the motor body 102 and the drum body 101, as follows: Figure 2As shown, each end of the roller body 101 is connected to a roller shaft via bearings, and the motor housing of the motor body 102 is fixedly connected to one of the roller shafts. Of course, these are all common connection methods for existing electric rollers 100, and are not limited to this one method. Moreover, this is not an innovation of this embodiment, so it will not be described in detail.
