A novel encoder safety structure

Abstract

This utility model discloses a novel encoder safety structure, including a mounting block, a lower bracket mounted on one side of the mounting block, an upper bracket mounted on one side of the lower bracket, an encoder mounted in the upper bracket, and a roller mounted in the lower bracket. A coupling is provided between one end of the roller and the encoder input shaft. This novel encoder safety structure, by having a lower bracket mounted on one side of the mounting block, an upper bracket mounted on the side of the lower bracket, an encoder mounted in the upper bracket, a measuring wheel mounted in the lower bracket via a bearing, and the encoder and measuring wheel connected by a flexible coupling, ensures that the measuring wheel is in contact with the material, preventing the encoder from directly contacting the material. Abnormal external forces are transmitted to the lower bracket instead of acting on the bearing inside the encoder, thus avoiding damage to the bearing due to accidental external forces.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of profile processing technology, and in particular relates to a novel encoder safety structure. Background Technology

[0002] Encoder feedback feeding is a commonly used feeding method in profile processing. Compared with gear and rack or lead screw and nut feeding methods, encoder feedback feeding has a simple structure, is easy to use, and is inexpensive.

[0003] The safety structures currently on the market have the following problems when applied: When using traditional encoder feedback roller feeding tail material pulling mechanisms, the encoder metering wheel is directly installed on the encoder input shaft, causing external forces to act directly on the input shaft. Since the encoder input shaft is relatively thin, it is easy to bend under external forces, and the encoder bearings are also easy to be damaged. How to avoid external forces acting directly on the encoder is a problem, and the encoder is easily damaged. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel encoder safety structure to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A novel encoder safety structure, wherein a lower bracket is installed on one side of the mounting block, an upper bracket is installed on one side of the lower bracket, an encoder is installed in the upper bracket, a roller is installed in the lower bracket, and a coupling is provided between one end of the roller and the encoder input shaft.

[0006] Preferably, the lower support includes a lower rear plate, a lower front plate is installed on one side of the lower rear plate, and a bearing is provided between the lower rear plate and the lower front plate.

[0007] Preferably, the roller includes a meter-counting roller, and a connecting shaft is installed in the meter-counting roller.

[0008] Preferably, the upper support includes an upper horizontal plate, an upright plate, and a lower horizontal plate, which are firmly connected together.

[0009] The novel encoder safety structure of this utility model has the following advantages: a lower bracket is installed on one side of the mounting block, and an upper bracket is installed on the other side of the lower bracket. The encoder is installed in the upper bracket, and a roller is installed in the lower bracket. A coupling is provided between one end of the roller and the encoder input shaft. When the encoder feedback roller feeding tail material pulling mechanism is in use, the encoder and the metering wheel are connected together through a flexible coupling. The metering wheel contacts the material, and the encoder does not directly contact the material. External abnormal forces are transmitted to the lower bracket and will not act on the bearing inside the encoder, thus avoiding damage to the bearing due to unexpected external forces.

[0019] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following detailed description of a novel encoder safety structure of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a novel encoder 1 safety structure of this utility model includes a mounting block 3. A lower bracket 4 is mounted on one side of the mounting block 3, and an upper bracket 2 is mounted on one side of the lower bracket 4. The encoder 1 is mounted in the upper bracket 2, and a roller 5 is mounted in the lower bracket 4. A coupling 6 is provided between one end of the roller 5 and the input shaft of the encoder 1. The encoder 1 and the measuring wheel 51 are connected together by the flexible coupling 6. The measuring wheel 51 is in contact with the material, and the encoder 1 does not directly contact the material. Abnormal external forces are transmitted to the lower bracket 4 and will not act on the bearing 53 inside the encoder 1, thus avoiding damage to the bearing 53 due to unexpected external forces.

[0021] The lower support 4 includes a lower rear plate 41, a lower front plate 42 is installed on one side of the lower rear plate 41, and a bearing 53 is provided between the lower rear plate 41 and the lower front plate 42. By installing the lower front plate 42 on the side of the rear plate and installing the bearing 53 on the lower rear plate 41 and the lower front plate 42, it is convenient for the bearing 53 to drive it to rotate, and the support of the lower front plate 42 and the lower rear plate 41 makes the rotation of the bearing 53 more stable.

[0022] The roller 5 includes a meter-counting roller 51, and a connecting shaft 52 is installed inside the meter-counting roller 51. By installing the connecting shaft 52 inside the meter-counting roller 51, the connecting shaft 52 can be easily connected to the coupling 6, making the connection tighter.

[0023] The upper support 2 includes an upper horizontal plate 21, an upright plate 22, and a lower horizontal plate 23. The upper support 2, the upright plate 22, and the lower horizontal plate 23 are firmly connected together. By firmly connecting the upper support plate, the upright plate 22, and the lower horizontal plate 23 together, the entire safety structure has a better support effect and is more stable during use.

[0024] The working principle of this new encoder safety structure is as follows: When this safety structure is applied, the support of the lower front plate 42 and the lower rear plate 41 makes the bearing 53 rotate more stably. Through the installed connecting shaft 52, the connecting shaft 52 can be easily connected to the coupling 6, making the connection tighter and firmly connecting the upper support plate, the vertical plate 22 and the horizontal plate together, making the entire safety structure support better and more stable during use. The encoder 1 and the meter wheel 51 are connected together through the flexible coupling 6. The contact material is the meter wheel 51, and the encoder 1 does not directly contact the material. External abnormal forces will be transmitted to the lower support 4 and will not act on the bearing 53 inside the encoder 1, avoiding damage to the bearing 53 due to unexpected external forces.

[0025] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
