Abstract
A tensioning mechanism includes a housing including an accommodation cavity and configured to be sleeved with a to-be-tensioned material, a tensioning assembly mounted in the accommodation cavity, and a driving assembly mounted on the housing and configured to drive the tensioning assembly to move against the housing, so that at least a part of the tensioning assembly protrudes from or retracts into the housing. The driving assembly includes a handle mounted on an outer side of the housing and configured to manually drive the tensioning assembly to move against the housing.
Claims17
A tensioning mechanism, comprising:
- a housing, wherein the housing comprises an accommodation cavity, and the housing is configured to be sleeved with a to-be-tensioned material;
- a tensioning assembly, wherein the tensioning assembly is mounted in the accommodation cavity;
- a driving assembly, wherein the driving assembly is mounted on the housing, and the driving assembly is configured to drive the tensioning assembly to move against the housing, so that at least a part of the tensioning assembly protrudes from or retracts into the housing;
- and
- a bearing, wherein the bearing is mounted on the housing through a mounting base, and the bearing at least partly protrudes out of the housing;
- wherein the driving assembly comprises a handle, the handle is mounted on an outer side of the housing, and the handle is configured to manually drive the tensioning assembly to move against the housing.
A method for using a tensioning mechanism,
- the tensioning mechanism comprising:
- a housing, wherein the housing comprises an accommodation cavity, and the housing is configured to be sleeved with a to-be-tensioned material;
- a tensioning assembly, wherein the tensioning assembly is mounted in the accommodation cavity;
- a driving assembly, wherein the driving assembly is mounted on the housing, the driving assembly is configured to drive the tensioning assembly to move against the housing, so that at least a part of the tensioning assembly protrudes from or retracts into the housing, and the driving assembly comprises a handle mounted on an outer side of the housing and configured to manually drive the tensioning assembly to move against the housing;
- a bearing, wherein the bearing is mounted on the housing through a mounting base, and the bearing at least partly protrudes out of the housing;
- and
- a pressing piece;
- the method comprising:
- driving the handle to rotate against the housing, so that the pressing piece at least partly retracts into an interior of the accommodation cavity;
- sleeving the housing with the material, the material being a roll-shaped material;
- and
- driving the handle to rotate against the housing, so that at least a part of the pressing piece protrudes out of the housing and abuts on the material, to limit motion of the material against the tensioning mechanism.
