The application has the core that the structural foundation on which the adjustment of the air gap is realized is not an externally added actuating mechanism, but the automatic adjustment is realized through the cooperation of the centrifugal driving assembly 7, the limiting piece 5 and the stretching elastic piece 6, so that the application has the advantages of low cost, simple structure and low weight, reduces the load of the shaft, and is beneficial to enabling the product to be suitable for scenes with higher rotating speed and higher power.
Referring to fig. 1, the embodiment provides a preferred structure, in which two induction plates 2 are arranged, the two induction plates 2 are parallel and fixedly connected through a connecting piece 23, in this embodiment, the connecting piece 23 is a plurality of connecting rods uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the induction plates 2, so as to form a cage structure, two permanent magnet plates 4 are arranged corresponding to the induction plates 2 and are positioned between the two induction plates 2, a linkage block 74 is fixed on each permanent magnet plate 4, the centrifugal block 72 is simultaneously connected with the two linkage blocks 74 through an inclined plane or a conical surface, two ends of the tensile elastic piece 6 are respectively connected with the two permanent magnet plates 4, and two limiting pieces 5 are arranged corresponding to the permanent magnet plates 4. It should be noted that, both ends of the stretching elastic member 6 are connected to the permanent magnetic disc 4, so that the fixing of the stretching elastic member 6 with respect to the second connecting shaft 3 can be achieved, and no additional structure is needed to fix the stretching elastic member 6, but for the structure of the Shan Yongci disc 4, the stretching elastic member 6 needs to be partially connected to the second connecting shaft 3 to achieve the fixing thereof with respect to the second connecting shaft 3.
By adopting the structure, on one hand, the two groups of induction rotors and the two groups of permanent magnet rotors are matched to work, so that larger torque can be provided for a load, the starting capability of the coupler is improved, and on the other hand, the two groups of structures are symmetrically arranged, so that stress is uniform when the centrifugal block 72 moves, friction force between the centrifugal block 72 and the guide rod 71 is reduced, and the whole structure moves more smoothly and reliably.
Referring to fig. 1, as a further improvement of the above technical solution, the second connecting shaft 3 is a hollow shaft, the limiting member 5 close to the first connecting shaft 1 is a blocking cover 51 fixed at the end of the second connecting shaft 3, and the limiting member 5 far from the first connecting shaft 1 is a shaft shoulder 52 integrally formed on the second connecting shaft 3. By adopting the structure, when in assembly, the two permanent magnet discs 4 can be sleeved on the second connecting shaft 3 at intervals, and finally the retaining cover 51 is installed, so that the installation is more convenient. Of course, in other embodiments, other common structures may be adopted for the limiting member 5, for example, a shaft collar is sleeved on the second connecting shaft 3 corresponding to the two permanent magnet discs 4 in an interference manner, or a plurality of limiting pins are uniformly fixed on the second connecting shaft 3 along the circumferential direction as the limiting member 5.
Referring to fig. 2, the present embodiment further provides a preferable structure that the centrifugal driving assembly 7 and the stretching elastic member 6 are uniformly distributed with a plurality of groups along the circumferential direction of the second connecting shaft 3, and the centrifugal driving assembly 7 and the stretching elastic member 6 are circularly and alternately arranged.

Specifically, the installation structure of the stretching elastic member 6 in the prior art may be adopted, for example, the installation structure of the stretching elastic member 6 in fig. 1 may be that a lock catch is fixed on the permanent magnetic disk 4, then the end portion of the stretching elastic member 6 is hooked on the lock catch to realize detachable installation, or the installation structure of the elastic member 73 in fig. 1 may be that a nut 75 is screwed at the outer end of the guide rod 71, one end of the elastic member 73 abuts against the centrifugal block 72, and the other end abuts against the nut 75, or the lock catch in the first scheme is a structure with adjustable length. By adopting such a structure, the elastic force of the stretching elastic member 6 and/or the elastic member 73 can be adjusted according to different motors, thereby adapting to motors of different stages.

By adopting the structure, the large-diameter hole of the first-stage stepped hole has a limiting effect on the elastic piece 73, and the elastic piece 73 is directly abutted against the position of the centrifugal block 72, which is close to the second connecting shaft 3, so that the driving is more stable.
Referring to fig. 4, the present embodiment further provides a preferred structure of the induction disc 2, in which the end surface of the induction disc 2 far from the permanent magnetic disc 4 is provided with heat dissipation teeth 211. Because the permanent magnet disc 4 and the induction disc 2 need to have a certain slip rotation speed in the transmission process, slip loss and heat dissipation can be generated in the operation process. By adopting this structure, the heat radiation teeth 211 can improve the heat radiation efficiency of the induction disk 2. Preferably, the heat dissipating teeth 211 are a plurality of annular teeth coaxially arranged, so as to further improve heat dissipating efficiency.
Referring to fig. 1, the present embodiment also provides a preferred permanent magnet disk 4 structure, comprising:

A permanent magnet 42 fitted in the mounting groove;

Specifically, the pressing plate 43 is an annular plate, and is fixed to the permanent magnet carrier plate 41 by bolts.
Through adopting above-mentioned structure, at first with permanent magnet 42 embedding mounting groove in the time of the assembly, then fix clamp plate 43 on permanent magnet carrier plate 41 and accomplish the compress tightly to permanent magnet 42, simple to operate, fixed reliable.
Referring to fig. 3, preferably, the mounting grooves are provided with a plurality of mounting grooves and are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the permanent magnet carrier plate 41, each mounting groove is embedded with a permanent magnet 42, and the magnetic poles of the adjacent permanent magnets 42 are opposite.

As a specific implementation form, the working process of the permanent magnet flexible connection device of the invention is as follows:
First, the second connecting shaft 3 is connected to the drive end, and the first connecting shaft 1 is connected to the load end.
Referring to fig. 5, during start-up, the two permanent magnet discs 4 approach each other under the tensile force of the tensile elastic member 6 until equilibrium is reached, at which time the air gap between the permanent magnet disc 4 and the induction disc 2 is maximized, LO, and this state start-up corresponds to no-load start-up.
After starting, as the rotation speed of the second connecting shaft 3 increases, the centrifugal force borne by the centrifugal block 72 increases, when the centrifugal force borne by the centrifugal block is greater than the resultant force of the elastic member 73 and the stretching elastic member 6 in the centrifugal force direction, the centrifugal block 72 moves outwards along the guide rod 71, and the centrifugal block 72 and the linkage block 74 are contacted through an inclined plane or a conical surface, so that the linkage block 74 moves along the axial direction of the second connecting shaft 3 along the direction away from the guide rod 71 synchronously with the centrifugal block 72, thereby reducing the air gap between the permanent magnet disc 4 and the induction disc 2, increasing the torque, and further driving the load to rotate.
The two permanent magnetic disks 4 are mutually far away under the action of the centrifugal block 72 until the permanent magnetic disks 4 abut against the corresponding limiting piece 5 to stop moving, at the moment, the air gap between the permanent magnetic disks 4 and the induction disk 2 is minimum, namely L1, at the moment, the efficiency is highest, and the heating is minimum, as shown in fig. 6, and the state is the rated running state.
When the machine is stopped, the rotation speed of the second connecting shaft 3 is reduced, the centrifugal force applied to the centrifugal block 72 is insufficient to overcome the resultant force of the elastic member 73 and the stretching elastic member 6 in the centrifugal force direction, so that the centrifugal block 72 can slide inwards along the guide rod 71 until reaching the limit position, and at the moment, the two permanent magnet disks 4 are reset to the state shown in fig. 5 under the action of the stretching elastic member 6.
The above description is related to the use of the permanent magnet soft connection device as a soft starter, but in practical use, the permanent magnet soft connection device can also be used as a torque limiter, and the specific principle is as follows:
First, the first connecting shaft 1 is connected to the drive end, and the second connecting shaft 3 is connected to the load end.
When the load end suddenly overloads and stalls, the centrifugal block 72 loses the centrifugal force effect, the two permanent magnet disks 4 are mutually close under the action of the stretching elastic piece 6, the air gap between the induction disk 2 and the permanent magnet disk 4 is increased until the permanent magnet disk 4 moves to the extreme position farthest from the induction disk 2, at the moment, the eddy current coupling becomes weak coupling due to the increase of the coupling distance, so that the torque transmission between the motor and the load is cut off, the motor is unloaded, the load shafting has no torque and torque transmission, the torque limiting effect is realized, and the whole shafting is protected.
