Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of universal joints with cross shafts, specifically to a universal joint based on a snap-fit telescopic cross shaft. Background Technology
[0002] Universal joints, also known as cross-type universal joints, are commonly used connecting components in industry. They enable transmission between two shafts at a certain angle and are widely used in heavy machinery.
[0003] Patent CN220850461U discloses a universal coupling based on a snap-type telescopic cross shaft, which includes a fork head I, a snap-type telescopic cross shaft, a connecting cylinder, a fork head II, and a mounting disc; two shaft heads on one straight line of the snap-type telescopic cross shaft are fitted with fork head I, and two shaft heads on another straight line are fitted with fork head II, fork head II and fork head I are cross-opposite, fork head I and mounting disc are a whole, and fork head II and connecting cylinder are a whole;
[0004] While the aforementioned patent utilizes a telescopic spring installed within the connecting end of the swivel-type universal joint to provide telescopic capability, facilitating assembly by reducing the distance between the two sets of connecting ends during retraction under the spring's action, the assembly process requires applying external force to the connecting end before fitting the connecting seat. However, the space within the connecting seat is relatively narrow, posing a risk of hand injury to workers upon releasing the force. This not only hinders operation but also presents a safety hazard. Furthermore, the telescopic spring can cause the connecting end of the swivel-type universal joint to bounce during use, affecting its transmission efficiency and resulting in poor performance. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a universal coupling based on a swivel-type telescopic universal joint to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a universal coupling based on a snap-fit telescopic cross shaft, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0007] (II) Technical Solution
[0008] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model proposes a universal coupling based on a pin-type telescopic cross shaft, including a pin-type cross shaft. Each of the four corners of the pin-type cross shaft has a telescopic cavity. A telescopic column is installed inside each telescopic cavity. A telescopic spring is fixed between the telescopic column and the pin-type cross shaft. A through cavity is opened on the outer wall of the pin-type cross shaft. A lever is fixed at a position corresponding to the through cavity on the telescopic column. A telescopic sealing plate is installed inside the through cavity. Two sets of positioning holes are symmetrically opened on the movable part of the telescopic sealing plate. Locking bolts are installed on the fixed part of the telescopic sealing plate. Two sets of telescopic wedge blocks are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the telescopic column.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, during the assembly process, the telescopic column located in the horizontal direction can be pre-connected to the first connecting seat. That is, the telescopic column is moved by the lever to compress the telescopic spring, and the adjusted telescopic column is fixed by the locking bolt and the positioning hole, reducing the width of the horizontal cross shaft to be smaller than the width between the inner walls of the first connecting seat. Then, the connecting seat is placed on the cross shaft, and the locking bolt is separated from the positioning hole to release the fixation. The telescopic column is reset by the rebound force of the telescopic spring, so that it can be assembled with the first connecting seat. Similarly, by repeating the above operation, the second connecting seat can be assembled in the vertical direction.
[0010] Furthermore, the telescopic cavity is formed inside the snap-pin cross shaft, and the telescopic spring is welded between the telescopic pin and the snap-pin cross shaft.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the telescopic spring enables the telescopic column to have a certain degree of mobility, thereby realizing the assembly of the snap-on cross shaft.
[0012] Furthermore, the through cavity is formed on the snap-type cross shaft, and the lever passes through the through cavity.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the push block facilitates the application of external force to the telescopic column, enabling it to move, while effectively avoiding pinching injuries and ensuring a high safety factor.
[0014] Furthermore, the telescopic sealing plate is embedded in the side wall of the pin-type cross shaft, the positioning hole is formed on the telescopic sealing plate, the telescopic sealing plate is located in the through cavity, and the locking bolt is threadedly connected to the positioning hole.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the telescopic sealing plate can seal the cavity without affecting the movement performance of the lever. At the same time, the locking bolt combined with the positioning hole can fix the telescopic column after adjustment. This facilitates the assembly operation by the staff and ensures that the telescopic spring does not affect the transmission performance during use.
[0016] Furthermore, the telescopic wedge block and the telescopic column are connected by a spring, and the snap-pin cross shaft is provided with a U-shaped connecting seat one and a connecting seat two.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, during the assembly process, the telescopic column is inserted into the pre-reserved connecting cavity of the connecting seat by relying on the rebound force of the telescopic spring. During the insertion process, the telescopic wedge block retracts under the action of the spring, and after it passes through the connecting cavity, it returns to its original position under the action of the spring, thereby realizing the assembly of the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat with the snap-type cross shaft.
[0018] Furthermore, the telescopic column is rotatably connected to both the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat, with the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat arranged in a perpendicular orientation.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the first connecting seat, the second connecting seat, and the snap-type cross shaft can form a universal joint.
[0020] Furthermore, a connecting shaft is fixed on one side wall of the connecting seat, and a flange is fixed on the other side wall of the connecting seat.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting shaft can connect the universal joint to the drive mechanism, and the flange can be connected to the load. The drive mechanism drives the load on the flange to rotate through the universal joint to perform work.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0024] This utility model employs an operating mechanism consisting of a lever, a telescopic sealing plate, a locking bolt, and a positioning hole. During assembly, the lever moves the telescopic column, compressing the telescopic spring to facilitate assembly. The telescopic sealing plate seals the cavity without affecting the lever's movement. The locking bolt, combined with the positioning hole, secures the adjusted telescopic column. This design facilitates assembly and operation, ensures a high safety factor, and prevents the telescopic spring from affecting transmission performance during use, thus guaranteeing its performance.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0032] like Figures 1-4As shown, this embodiment of a universal coupling based on a snap-type telescopic cross shaft 7 includes a snap-type cross shaft 7. Each of the four corners of the snap-type cross shaft 7 has a telescopic cavity 13. A telescopic column 5 is installed inside the telescopic cavity 13. A telescopic spring 14 is fixed between the telescopic column 5 and the snap-type cross shaft 7. A through cavity 8 is opened on the outer wall of the snap-type cross shaft 7. A lever 9 is fixed at the position corresponding to the telescopic column 5 and the through cavity 8. A telescopic sealing plate 10 is installed inside the through cavity 8. Two sets of positioning holes 11 are symmetrically opened on the movable part of the telescopic sealing plate 10. Locking bolts 12 are installed on the fixed part of the telescopic sealing plate 10. Two sets of telescopic wedge blocks 6 are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the telescopic column 5. During assembly... The telescopic column 5 located in the horizontal direction can be pre-connected to the connecting seat 2. That is, the telescopic column 5 is moved by the lever 9 to compress the telescopic spring 14, and the adjusted telescopic column 5 is fixed by the locking bolt 12 combined with the positioning hole 11. The width of the locking column cross shaft 7 in the horizontal direction is reduced to be smaller than the width between the inner walls of the connecting seat 2. Then, the connecting seat 2 is sleeved on the locking column cross shaft 7, and the locking bolt 12 is separated from the positioning hole 11 to release the fixation. The telescopic column 5 is reset by the rebound force of the telescopic spring 14, so that it can be assembled with the connecting seat 2. Similarly, the above operation can be repeated to realize the assembly of the connecting seat 3 in the vertical direction.

During the assembly process, the lever block 9 applies external force to the telescopic column 5 and compresses the compression spring. Then, the external force is released, and the telescopic column 5 is inserted into the pre-reserved connecting cavity of the connecting seat by relying on the rebound force of the telescopic spring 14. During the insertion process, the telescopic wedge block 6 retracts under the action of the spring. After it passes through the connecting cavity, it returns to its original position under the action of the spring, realizing the assembly of the connecting seat 1 2 and the connecting seat 2 3 with the snap-type cross shaft 7. The telescopic sealing plate 10 seals the through cavity 8 without affecting the movement performance of the lever block 9.

Then, the connecting seat 1 2 is sleeved on the snap-type cross shaft 7, and the locking bolt 12 is separated from the positioning hole 11 to release the fixation. The telescopic column 5 is inserted into the pre-reserved connecting cavity of the connecting seat by the rebound force of the telescopic spring 14. During the insertion process, the telescopic wedge... The block 6 retracts under the action of the spring, and after passing through the connecting cavity, it returns to its original position under the action of the spring, thus assembling it with the connecting seat 2. Similarly, repeating the above operation can achieve the vertical assembly of the connecting seat 3. The telescopic sealing plate 10 seals the through cavity 8 without affecting the movement performance of the lever 9.
