[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic tensioner technology, and in particular to a universal rotation adjustment mechanism for an automatic tensioner. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic tensioners are widely used binding tools, commonly found in pickup trucks or truck beds, for securing motorcycles, bicycles, camping gear, and more. However, during use, especially for securing large items, the fixed installation position of the automatic tensioner prevents multi-directional rotational adjustment and ensures even force distribution. Prolonged use or external forces can damage the automatic tensioner. Therefore, we propose a universal rotation adjustment mechanism for automatic tensioners. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a universal rotation adjustment mechanism for an automatic tensioner, which can effectively solve the problems that the automatic tensioner cannot be rotated and adjusted in multiple directions during use due to its fixed installation position, cannot achieve uniform force distribution, and will be damaged by long-term use or external force.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A universal rotation adjustment mechanism for an automatic tensioner includes a fixed plate. Two mounting ears are stamped on one side of the fixed plate. A first rotating rod is provided inside the two mounting ears. A first rotating plate is provided on the first rotating rod. A second rotating rod is provided on the cross plate of the first rotating plate. A second rotating plate is provided on the second rotating rod. Fixing holes are provided on both sides of the second rotating plate. A connecting rod is inserted into the fixing hole. An automatic tensioner is provided on the connecting rod.

[0006] Furthermore, each of the two mounting ear plates is provided with a first rotating hole, and a first rotating rod is inserted into the two first rotating holes. Each of the two side plates of the first rotating plate is provided with a second rotating hole, and a first rotating rod is also inserted into the two second rotating holes. The two mounting ear plates and the first rotating plate are movably connected through the first rotating rod.

[0007] Furthermore, a third rotating hole is provided on the horizontal plate of the first rotating plate, and the second rotating rod is inserted into the third rotating hole. A fourth rotating hole is provided on the horizontal plate of the second rotating plate, and the second rotating rod is also inserted into the fourth rotating hole. The first rotating plate and the second rotating plate are movably connected through the second rotating rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing plates located on both sides of the two mounting ear plates are provided with mounting holes, and side ear plates are provided on both sides of the fixing plates, and hanging holes are provided on both side ear plates.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] This invention, through the setting of a fixed plate, a first rotating plate, and a second rotating plate, enables multi-directional rotational adjustment of the automatic tensioner mounted on the second rotating plate, meeting the needs of the automatic tensioner in different situations. First, the fixed plate is installed on the vehicle body or other fixed structure to be installed. The fixed plate and the first rotating plate are movably connected by a first rotating rod, allowing for vertical rotation between the automatic tensioner and the fixed object. The first rotating plate and the second rotating plate are movably connected by a second rotating rod, allowing for horizontal rotation between the automatic tensioner and the fixed object. This achieves omnidirectional rotational adjustment, ensuring even force distribution during use and effectively preventing damage to the automatic tensioner from prolonged use or external forces, thus greatly extending its service life.

[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0018] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the universal rotation adjustment mechanism for the automatic tensioner includes a fixed plate 1. Two mounting ear plates 4 are stamped on one side of the fixed plate 1. A first rotating rod 5 is provided inside the two mounting ear plates 4. A first rotating plate 2 is provided on the first rotating rod 5. A second rotating rod 6 is provided on the horizontal plate of the first rotating plate 2. A second rotating plate 3 is provided on the second rotating rod 6. Fixing holes 10 are provided on both sides of the second rotating plate 3. A connecting rod is inserted into the fixing hole 10. An automatic tensioner 9 is provided on the connecting rod.

[0019] Specifically, through the fixed plate 1, the first rotating plate 2, and the second rotating plate 3, the automatic tensioner 9 installed on the second rotating plate 3 can be rotated and adjusted in multiple directions to meet the needs of the automatic tensioner 9 under different circumstances. First, the fixed plate 1 is installed on the vehicle body or other fixed building to be installed. The fixed plate 1 and the first rotating plate 2 are movably connected by the first rotating rod 5, which can realize the up and down rotation between the automatic tensioner 9 and the fixed object. The first rotating plate 2 and the second rotating plate 3 are movably connected by the second rotating rod 6, which can realize the left and right rotation between the automatic tensioner 9 and the fixed object, thereby realizing all-round rotation adjustment. This ensures that the automatic tensioner 9 is evenly stressed during use, effectively avoiding damage to the automatic tensioner 9 caused by long-term use or external forces, and greatly improving the service life of the automatic tensioner 9.

[0020] In one optional embodiment of this utility model, each of the two mounting ear plates 4 is provided with a first rotating hole 11, and a first rotating rod 5 is inserted into the two first rotating holes 11. Each of the two side plates of the first rotating plate 2 is provided with a second rotating hole 12, and the first rotating rod 5 is also inserted into the two second rotating holes 12. The two mounting ear plates 4 and the first rotating plate 2 are movably connected through the first rotating rod 5.

[0021] In this embodiment, by movably connecting the mounting ear plate 4 and the first rotating plate 2 through the first rotating rod 5, the fixed plate 1 and the first rotating plate 2 are movably connected through the first rotating rod 5, which enables the automatic tensioner 9 to rotate up and down with the fixed object.

[0022] In one optional embodiment of this utility model, a third rotating hole 13 is provided on the horizontal plate of the first rotating plate 2, and the second rotating rod 6 is inserted into the third rotating hole 13. A fourth rotating hole 14 is provided on the horizontal plate of the second rotating plate 3, and the second rotating rod 6 is also inserted into the fourth rotating hole 14. The first rotating plate 2 and the second rotating plate 3 are movably connected by the second rotating rod 6.

[0023] In this embodiment, by movably connecting the first rotating plate 2 and the second rotating plate 3 through the second rotating rod 6, the automatic tensioner 9 can rotate left and right with the fixed object, thereby achieving all-round rotation adjustment.

[0024] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the fixing plate 1 located on both sides of the two mounting ear plates 4 is provided with mounting holes 15, and side ear plates 7 are provided on both sides of the fixing plate 1, and hanging holes 8 are provided on both side ear plates 7.

[0025] It should be noted that when using this device, the fixing plate 1 is first installed on the vehicle body or other fixed building to be installed through the two mounting holes 15 using screws, expansion screws, etc., so as to realize the subsequent installation of the automatic tensioner 9. The hook extending from the end of the automatic tensioner 9 can be hung on the hanging hole 8.

[0026] Working principle: In use, firstly, the fixing plate 1 is installed on the vehicle body or other fixed structure to be installed. Then, the connecting rod is inserted through the fixing hole 10 on the second rotating plate 3 to install the automatic tensioner 9. When in use, the automatic tensioner 9 can rotate up and down with the fixed object because the fixing plate 1 and the first rotating plate 2 are movably connected by the first rotating rod 5. The first rotating plate 2 and the second rotating plate 3 can rotate left and right with the automatic tensioner 9 with the fixed object because they are movably connected by the second rotating rod 6. This allows for all-round rotation adjustment, ensuring that the automatic tensioner 9 is evenly stressed during use. This effectively avoids damage to the automatic tensioner 9 caused by prolonged use or external forces, greatly improving the service life of the automatic tensioner 9. The hook extending from the end of the automatic tensioner 9 can be hung on the hanging hole 8, which is quite practical.

[0027] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
