Description

Anti-reverse coupling

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of couplings, in particular to an anti-reverse coupling.

Background

In a rotary machine such as a water pump or a fan, a motor, a diesel engine, or other power driving devices are generally used as power sources, a mechanism for driving the mechanical device to mechanically rotate is provided, and torque is transmitted by means of a coupling, a belt pulley, and the like. For some rotating machines, due to structural constraints, operation is permitted only to maintain unidirectional rotation, which would otherwise cause damage. A typical pulley or coupling is capable of supporting rotation in both forward and reverse directions. It is therefore necessary to design a mechanism to prevent reverse rotation. The anti-reverse rotation coupling is needed to be invented to realize the function of unidirectional rotation.

Chinese utility model publication No. CN205745002U discloses an anti-reverse coupling, which realizes unidirectional rotation. When the couplings are rotated in opposite directions, one of the coupling halves is required to slide axially, i.e., one of the coupling halves is moved axially along the shaft to disengage the two couplings from each other and thereby disengage the intermeshing devices so that torque is not transmitted. However, such a structure has the following problems: 1. the matching strength of the half coupling sliding axially and the rotating shaft is weak, and the half coupling sliding axially and the rotating shaft are not suitable for large torque transmission; 2. the half coupling needs to perform sliding displacement, so that the requirement on space is high, and the application range is small; 3. the spring is required to reset the moving half-coupling, the difficulty of the spring setting is high, an additional fixing structure is required, or the length of the rotating shaft is limited.

Detailed Description

The invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures and specific embodiments. The present embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and a detailed implementation manner and a specific operation process are given, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the present embodiment provides an anti-reverse coupling, which includes a first half coupling 1 and a second half coupling 2, where the first half coupling 1 and the second half coupling 2 are respectively connected with two sections of rotating shafts that need to transmit torque through a central shaft hole in a matching manner. The rotating shaft and the half coupling can be connected by common keys. The first coupling half 1 and the second coupling half 2 are connected by their mating surfaces.

The mating surface of the first coupling half 1 is provided with a transmission module comprising a mounting block 13 and a plurality of connecting pieces 11. The mounting block 13 is a circular block, the protection grooves 13a are uniformly distributed on the peripheral side wall of the mounting block 13, and the connecting pieces 11 are correspondingly arranged in the protection grooves 13a one to one. Meanwhile, each of the connection members 11 in the protection groove 13a connects the mating surfaces of the first coupling half 1, that is, both side walls of the protection groove 13a, by the connection shaft 14. An elastic member 12 is further provided on the link member 11, and the link member 11 is rotated about the connecting shaft 14 by the elastic member 12 such that one end thereof protrudes out of the protection groove 13 a.

The mating surface of the second coupling part 2 is provided with a circular mounting groove 21, which mounting groove 21 is arranged coaxially with the mounting block 13 and has a diameter slightly larger than the mounting block 13. A plurality of limit cavities 21a are uniformly distributed on the side wall of the mounting groove 21 to form a saw-tooth shape. The number of the limit cavities 21a is generally more than 4, and in this embodiment, 12 limit cavities 21a are provided. Meanwhile, the number and distribution of the limiting cavities 21a correspond to the connecting pieces 11 one by one. In this embodiment, the limiting cavities 21a are triangular cavities, the vertex angles of the triangular cavities face the tangential direction of the circular shape of the mounting groove 21, and the vertex angles of all the limiting cavities 21a face the tangential direction of the same circular shape of the mounting groove 21. The connecting piece 11 is a quadrilateral block, and the vertex angle of one end of the connecting piece can be just embedded into the triangular cavity. The bottom angle of one side of the triangular cavity is an obtuse angle, so that the triangular cavity can be better meshed with the connecting piece 11.

The elastic member 12 in this embodiment is a spring. A spring mounting groove is formed at the bottom of each protection groove 13a, a spring is arranged in the spring mounting groove, one end of the spring is fixedly connected with the bottom of the spring mounting groove, and the other end of the spring is connected with the connecting piece 11. The link 11 is ejected out of the protection groove 13a under the supporting force of the spring. The structure enables the spring to be easily regulated and controlled, and the service life is longer. In other embodiments, the elastic element 12 may also be a torsion spring directly sleeved on the connecting shaft 14, one end of the torsion spring is connected to the connecting element 11, and the other end is connected to the mating surface of the first coupling half 1, so that the structure is simpler.

When the first coupling half 1 and the second coupling half 2 are connected with each other, the connecting piece 11 unfolded from the protective groove 13a is inserted into the limit cavity 21a of the mounting groove 21, and the coupling is butted.

The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:

as shown in fig. 2, in a normal state, under the supporting force of the spring, the connecting member 11 rotates clockwise with the connecting shaft 14 as a rotation fulcrum, so that the connecting member 11 is inserted into the limit cavity 21a to form a position limit. During operation, if the first half-coupling 1 rotates anticlockwise, the first half-coupling 1 transmits torque to the connecting piece 11 through the matching surface with the connecting piece 11, and the connecting piece 11 transmits the torque to the second half-coupling 2 through the matching surface with the second half-coupling 2, so that torque transmission is completed.

As shown in fig. 5, when the reverse rotation occurs, the first half coupling 1 rotates clockwise, and the tooth-shaped limit cavity 21a on the second half coupling 2 compresses the connecting piece 11 toward the axis along the upper inclined surface of the connecting piece 11, so that the second half coupling 2 cannot rotate along with the first half coupling 1, and the purpose of preventing the reverse rotation is achieved. Therefore, accidents caused by operation failure and even damage of a driven mechanism due to steering change of power sources such as a motor and the like are avoided.

The foregoing detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention has been presented. It should be understood that numerous modifications and variations could be devised by those skilled in the art in light of the present teachings without departing from the inventive concepts. Therefore, the technical solutions available to those skilled in the art through logic analysis, reasoning and limited experiments based on the prior art according to the concept of the present invention should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
