Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to automatic producing technology field, is related to a kind of automatic production line, more particularly to one kind is stretched automatically
Contracting chain regulator.
Background technology
Chain is the ring that can not be short of on production line, because motor drives chain, mould is passed through institute by chain
There is fabrication schedule.In glove production, the positions such as mold cleaning, the demoulding, baking oven can be passed through.Chain material is medium carbon steel, and it expands
10 ~ 13x0.000001/ DEG C of coefficient, the material property of chain make it to produce the phenomenon of rising-heat contracting-cold according to temperature change.
When board is started shooting with running, because the change of temperature is easy to the change for causing chain total length in production process, therefore
Need to adjust in good time, so that chain operation is smooth.When chain too in short-term, can force motor increase torsion output, produce overburden
Motor torque, cause the main drive motor damage of costliness；Conversely, when chain is oversize, chain can be caused to take off chain, overlapping, break
Fall also or the situation such as card machine.
Industry is typically using oil compression rod movable axis adjustment chain tight degree, but this device shortcoming is detectd for the temperature that needs to arrange in pairs or groups
Measurement equipment, and react slower also more complicated, causing can not be completely and on-line synchronous poor with timely adaptability to changes, easily de- chain
Situation.Therefore a more perfect control device is needed to improve the shortcomings that traditional oil compression rod moves, carry out improving production efficiency, reduce
The consume of board equipment.

Net weight is connected with gear axis, its net weight is matched somebody with somebody with load-carrying batch, to keep tension balanced；Load-carrying includes fingerprint, connecting shaft；
Bearing block is placed on four ships, and these ships are pulled using cable wire, can freely be slided in orbit, to reach adjustment chain
The purpose of bar length；
When chain is too loose, the pulling force of net weight can be such that ship is drawn toward net weight direction, cause bearing block to be moved toward identical direction, to draw
Tight chain；
When chain is too tight, axle center pulling force can cause net weight chain is fluffed toward moving up.The advantages of this retractor device is to be not required to
Hydraulic motor is installed, merely with net weight and balanced pulling force, you can adjust automatically chain elasticity；
The adjusting apparatus addition safety monitoring facility, when detecting mistake, in good time allows board to shut down, and reaches protection
The purpose of production equipment and operating personnel's safety；
Two sensors are provided with above the bearing block, to be to detect shaft core position skew degree of convergence, in good time shutdown at any time
It is damaged to take precautions against board because abnormal；When board generation exception, axle center is caused significantly to offset, and beyond set threshold value, it is sensed
Device will send stopping signal, in order to which operating personnel repairs, protect production equipment；During card machine, the pulling force of chain becomes big so that axle
The heart is significantly toward the direction movement that can trigger shutdown, to trigger travel switch, hard stop.
A kind of automatic telescopic chain regulator, the automatic telescopic chain regulator include：Cable wire, pulley, track,
Sliding seat, slide rail, travel switch, gear shaft, bearing block, Ruo Ganchuan；
Net weight is connected with gear axis, its net weight is matched somebody with somebody with load-carrying batch, to keep tension balanced；Load-carrying includes fingerprint, connecting shaft；
