Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical transmission technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable synchronous pulley. Background Technology

[0017] 3. Beneficial effects
[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0019] (1) In this scheme, four sets of pressure plates are installed on four wheel blocks respectively by four sets of internal hexagon screws. The four wheel blocks are installed between the front stop block and the connecting block by sliding connection of four sets of internal hexagon screws and eight T-shaped grooves. The four wheel blocks and the outer surface of the tapered block are taper-fitted to form a synchronous wheel. The synchronous belt is sleeved on the outer surface of the four wheel blocks and is restricted by the four sets of pressure plates, so that stable transmission can be achieved. The sliding connection of the four sets of internal hexagon screws and the eight T-shaped grooves has a large friction force, which keeps the four wheel blocks stable after installation. When the synchronous belt needs to be tensioned, the position of the tapered block is moved by rotating the cylindrical head screw, so that the four wheel blocks can be moved by sliding connection of the four sets of internal hexagon screws and the eight T-shaped grooves. After the four wheel blocks move, they cooperate with the taper of the tapered block to achieve radial adjustment, so that the tension of the synchronous belt can be adjusted without disassembly. The tension adjustment is simple and convenient, ensuring that the synchronous belt can be stably transmitted.
[0020] (2) In this solution, when the timing belt wears out, a wheel block is removed from the timing pulley by a set of internal hexagon screws and two T-shaped grooves. A notch is formed on the timing pulley, thereby reducing the tension of the timing belt and allowing the timing belt to be quickly removed and replaced without disassembling the timing pulley as a whole, making replacement more convenient.

[0030] Example:
[0031] Please see Figure 1-4 An adjustable synchronous pulley includes a front stop 1, a connecting block 2, and four wheel blocks 3. The front stop 1 and the connecting block 2 are symmetrically arranged. The four wheel blocks 3 are detachably connected between the front stop 1 and the connecting block 2. Each of the four wheel blocks 3 is detachably connected to a set of pressure plates 4. The four sets of pressure plates 4 are threadedly connected to the four wheel blocks 3 by a set of internal hexagon screws 5. The front stop 1 and the connecting block 2 are provided with four T-shaped sliding grooves 6 at their adjacent ends. The two ends of the four sets of internal hexagon screws 5 are slidably inserted into the eight T-shaped sliding grooves 6. The front stop 1 is internally threaded with a cylindrical head screw 7. One end of the cylindrical head screw 7 is threadedly connected to a tapered block 8, and the tapered block 8 is located between the four wheel blocks 3.
[0032] In this embodiment, the tapered block 8 is installed on one side of the front stop block 1 by a cylindrical head screw 7. Four sets of pressure plates 4 are respectively installed on the four wheel blocks 3 by four sets of internal hexagonal screws 5. The two ends of the four sets of internal hexagonal screws 5 are slidably installed in eight T-shaped grooves 6 on the front stop block 1 and the connecting block 2, so that the four wheel blocks 3 enclose the tapered block 8, thus completing the assembly of the entire synchronous pulley. By fitting the synchronous belt onto the outer surface of the four wheel blocks 3, and with the four sets of pressure plates 4 restricting the synchronous belt to prevent it from falling off, the synchronous belt drives the entire synchronous pulley for transmission on the outer surface of the four wheel blocks 3. When the tension of the synchronous belt needs to be adjusted during use, the position of the tapered block 8 is adjusted by rotating the cylindrical head screw 7. The tapered block 8 causes the four wheel blocks 3 to move radially through the taper of its outer surface, and the four wheel blocks 3 expand outward to increase the tension of the synchronous belt. When the tension of the synchronous belt needs to be reduced, the cylindrical head screw 7 is rotated... Screw 7 controls the movement of tapered block 8, preventing the outer surface of tapered block 8 from contacting the four wheel blocks 3. Then, it presses the four wheel blocks 3 inward. The four wheel blocks 3 approach the tapered block 8 through the insertion of four sets of internal hexagon screws 5 and eight T-shaped slides 6, thereby reducing the tension of the timing belt. When the timing belt is worn and needs to be replaced, a notch is created on the timing pulley by pulling out a set of internal hexagon screws 5 connected to one of the wheel blocks 3 from the two T-shaped slides 6 on the front stop block 1 and the connecting block 2, thereby reducing the tension of the timing belt on the timing pulley and allowing the timing belt to be quickly removed and replaced. The two ends of the four sets of internal hexagon screws 5 are slidably installed in the eight T-shaped slides 6. The sliding connection between the four sets of internal hexagon screws 5 and the eight T-shaped slides 6 has high friction. After the four sets of internal hexagon screws 5 enter the eight T-shaped slides 6, they can maintain stability through the friction of the contact surface.
[0033] Specifically, the front stop 1, connecting block 2, and tapered block 8 are coaxially arranged, and the four wheel blocks 3, four sets of pressure plates 4, and four sets of internal hexagon screws 5 are evenly distributed around the concentric axis of the front stop 1, connecting block 2, and tapered block 8.
[0034] In this embodiment, when the four wheel blocks 3 adjust the tension of the timing belt, they move radially with the central axis of the front stop block 1, the connecting block 2 and the tapered block 8 as the center, which can stably adjust the tension of the timing belt.
[0035] Specifically, each of the four wheel blocks 3 has a taper at one end that is close to each other, and the taper at one end of the four wheel blocks 3 is matched with the taper on the outer surface of the taper block 8.
[0036] In this embodiment, the tapered block 8 needs to be moved when the tension of the four wheel blocks 3 is adjusted. After the tapered block 8 is moved, the four wheel blocks 3 make contact with the tapered outer surface of the tapered block 8 through the matching of the internal taperedness, so that the position moves radially synchronously, thereby realizing the adjustment of the tension of the synchronous belt.
[0037] Specifically, each of the four sets of pressure plates 4 has an arc-shaped opening at one end that is close to the other, and the arc-shaped opening at one end of the four sets of pressure plates 4 is larger than the taper of the outer surface of the tapered block 8.
[0038] In this embodiment, when the four wheel blocks 3 are adjusted to match the taper of the outer surface of the tapered block 8, the four sets of pressure plates 4 move with the four wheel blocks 3. The four sets of pressure plates 4, through the inner arc-shaped opening, can avoid affecting the adjustment of the position of the four wheel blocks 3 by the tapered block 8.
[0039] Specifically, each set of pressure plates 4 is set to two, and each set of two pressure plates 4 is detachably connected to the symmetrical two ends of a wheel block 3, and each set of two pressure plates 4 is located between the front stop block 1 and the connecting block 2.
[0040] In this embodiment, each group of two pressure plates 4 are installed on both sides of a wheel block 3. When the synchronous belt is sleeved on the outer surface of the four wheel blocks 3, the synchronous belt is located between each group of two pressure plates 4. Each group of two pressure plates 4 restricts the synchronous belt, keeping it stable and preventing it from falling off.
[0041] Specifically, each set of two hexagon socket screws 5 is configured, and each set of two hexagon socket screws 5 is threaded to the symmetrical two ends of a wheel block 3, and each set of two hexagon socket screws 5 passes through a set of two pressure plates 4.
[0042] In this embodiment, each group of two hexagonal socket screws 5 passes through each group of two pressure plates 4 and is threaded onto a wheel block 3, so that each group of two pressure plates 4 is assembled on a wheel block 3.
[0043] Specifically, the two hexagonal socket screws 5 in each group are slidably inserted into two T-shaped grooves 6 at opposite ends of the front stop block 1 and the connecting block 2.
[0044] In this embodiment, the heads of the two socket head cap screws 5 in each group are slidably inserted into the T-shaped grooves 6 opened on the front stop block 1 and the connecting block 2 respectively. The contact position between the heads of the two socket head cap screws 5 in each group and the corresponding T-shaped grooves 6 has a certain friction force, which enables the four wheel blocks 3 to be stably installed between the front stop block 1 and the connecting block 2 for synchronous belt transmission.
[0045] Specifically, the four T-shaped grooves 6 on the front stop block 1 and the four T-shaped grooves 6 on the connecting block 2 are symmetrically distributed around the central axis, and the four sets of eight internal hexagon screws 5 are radially slidably inserted into the eight T-shaped grooves 6 respectively.
[0046] In this embodiment, the eight T-shaped grooves 6 on the front stop block 1 and the connecting block 2 correspond to the positions of the four sets of eight internal hexagon screws 5. The four sets of eight internal hexagon screws 5 are radially installed in the eight T-shaped grooves 6 along the central axis of the front stop block 1, the connecting block 2 and the tapered block 8, which facilitates the adjustment of the positions of the four wheel blocks 3.
[0047] Specifically, the end of the connecting block 2 away from the front stop block 1 has a connecting port 9.
[0048] In this embodiment, the connecting block 2 is connected to the drive shaft through the connecting port 9. The drive shaft causes the entire synchronous pulley to rotate, thereby realizing the transmission of the synchronous belt.
[0049] Working principle: When the synchronous pulley and synchronous belt are transmitting power, the synchronous belt is first fitted onto the outer surface of the four pulley blocks 3. Four sets of pressure plates 4 restrict the synchronous belt from both sides of the four pulley blocks 3, keeping the synchronous belt stable. The connecting block 2 connects to the rotating shaft of the drive device. The drive device controls the rotation of the four pulley blocks 3 through the connecting block 2, thereby driving the synchronous belt to transmit power. When the tension of the synchronous belt needs to be adjusted during use, the tapered block 8 is moved by rotating the cylindrical head screw 7. The tapered block 8 pushes the four pulley blocks 3 outward through its taper, increasing the tension of the synchronous belt. Rotating the cylindrical head screw 7 prevents the outer surface of the tapered block 8 from contacting the four pulley blocks 3, thus adjusting the tension of the four pulley blocks. When block 3 is pressed inward, the four wheel blocks 3 slide in the eight T-shaped grooves 6 through four sets of hexagon socket screws 5 and contact the outer surface of the tapered block 8. The four sets of hexagon socket screws 5 are kept stable by the large friction force in the eight T-shaped grooves 6, so that the four wheel blocks 3 remain stable after being retracted, thereby reducing the tension of the timing belt and adjusting the timing belt tension to the required usage. When the timing belt wears on the timing pulley and needs to be replaced, by pulling out a set of hexagon socket screws 5 connected to one wheel block 3 from the two T-shaped grooves 6 on the front stop block 1 and the connecting block 2, a notch is created on the timing pulley, thereby reducing the tension of the timing belt on the timing pulley, so that the timing belt can be quickly removed and replaced.
[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model based on the technical solution and its improved concept should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
