[0002] Rubber-coated narrow V-belts are widely used in high-power transmission applications such as industrial machinery and generator sets, and their performance directly affects the stability and lifespan of the equipment.
[0003] Existing banded V-belts primarily use polyester or aramid fibers as the main tensile strength, resulting in limited tensile strength. They are ill-suited for long-term high-load operation and prone to breakage. Furthermore, traditional tensile strength structures often employ parallel arrangements or simple V-shaped connections, leading to uneven stress distribution, poor fatigue resistance, and insufficient adhesion between the fibers and the rubber matrix, resulting in delamination and affecting overall strength, thus failing to meet practical application requirements. Therefore, we provide a high-tensile-strength rubber banded narrow V-belt. Utility Model Content

It solves the technical problem that traditional banded V-belts have insufficient tensile strength, making them unable to withstand long-term high-load operation and prone to breakage. Through material and structural innovation, the tensile strength and fatigue resistance of the banded narrow V-belt are improved, extending its service life. It is also suitable for high-power transmission equipment.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rubber banded narrow V-belt with high tensile strength, comprising multiple narrow V-belt bodies, wherein tensile components that enhance tensile strength are provided on the narrow V-belt bodies.
[0006] The tensile component includes a tensile strength layer disposed at the top of the narrow V-belt body. The tensile strength layer contains, from top to bottom, a top adhesive layer, a tensile layer, a bottom adhesive layer, and a fabric covering layer. The tensile layer contains ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber bundles.

[0023] 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.
[0024] Traditional banded V-belts suffer from insufficient tensile strength, making them unable to withstand long-term high-load operation and prone to breakage. This embodiment provides a high-tensile-strength rubber banded narrow V-belt. Through material and structural innovations, the tensile strength and fatigue resistance of the banded narrow V-belt are improved, extending its service life. It is also suitable for high-power transmission equipment. Please refer to... Figure 1 - Figure 4 This high-tensile-strength rubber-modified narrow V-belt comprises multiple narrow V-belt bodies 1, connected by a binding layer. This binding layer is a nano-silica-modified rubber layer that integrates the multiple narrow V-belt bodies 1 into a single unit. The addition of nano-silica enhances the strength and wear resistance of the rubber layer, improves the stability and reliability of the binding structure, and ensures that each narrow V-belt body 1 is subjected to synchronous force and works collaboratively during transmission, preventing premature damage due to uneven force on individual V-belts. It is suitable for high-load transmission scenarios. The narrow V-belt body 1 is equipped with a tensile-strength-enhancing component 2. The tensile-strength-enhancing component 2 strengthens the tensile strength of the narrow V-belt body 1, improves fatigue resistance, and thus extends its service life.
[0025] Existing banded V-belts mostly use polyester or aramid fibers as tensile strength, which has limited strength, making them difficult to withstand long-term high loads and prone to breakage. Furthermore, the existing tensile structure design leads to uneven stress, poor fatigue resistance, and insufficient adhesion between fibers and rubber, which easily leads to peeling and affects their strength, making it difficult to meet actual needs. In order to solve the above problems... The tensile component 2 includes a tensile strength layer 21 disposed at the top of the narrow V-belt body 1. Inside the tensile strength layer 21, from top to bottom, are sequentially installed a top rubber layer 22, a tensile layer 23, a bottom rubber layer 25, and a fabric covering layer 26. The top rubber layer 22 is made of EPDM rubber, utilizing its aging resistance and weather resistance to provide protection for the top of the narrow V-belt body 1. The bottom rubber layer 25 is made of polyurethane, utilizing its wear resistance, oil resistance, and high strength to enhance the durability of the contact area between the narrow V-belt body 1 and the drive wheel. The fabric covering layer 26 is a polyester-cotton fabric layer, improving the overall structure's flexibility and tear resistance while protecting the internal layers, collaboratively ensuring the stable transmission performance of the narrow V-belt body 1. The tensile layer 23 contains ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber bundles 24, which are evenly distributed within the tensile layer 23, ensuring... To ensure uniform stress distribution and fully utilize its high tensile strength, the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber bundle 24 features a helical structure that effectively disperses stress, avoids localized stress concentration, and improves fatigue resistance. Furthermore, its surface is coated with a rubber latex layer, forming a stable chemical bond between the fiber and the rubber matrix. Combined with a low-temperature vulcanization process, this strengthens interlayer connections, improves peel strength, and ensures overall structural stability. The UHMWPE fiber bundle 24 has an elastic modulus of 100-300 GPa, a tensile strength ≥3500 MPa, and a single filament fineness of 1.0-2.2 denier, thus fully utilizing its high tensile properties to ensure sufficient tensile strength under high-load transmission. Simultaneously, it adapts to the overall structural design, working synergistically with other layers to enhance the load-bearing capacity and durability of the narrow V-belt body 1.
[0026] By setting a spiral structure of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber bundles 24 in the tensile layer 23, the overall tensile strength is improved by utilizing its high tensile strength characteristics. The spiral structure disperses stress to enhance fatigue resistance. Through pretreatment combined with low-temperature vulcanization process, the fibers and rubber matrix form a stable chemical bond, which strengthens the interlayer connection and improves the peel strength. At the same time, the top rubber layer 22, the bottom rubber layer 25 and the covering layer 26 work together to ensure the structural stability and service life of the rubber banded narrow V belt.
