[0010] Preferably, it also includes two baffles which are symmetrically distributed and respectively cover the front and rear sides of the top of the roller, and the two baffles are welded to the bracket.

[0011] Beneficial Effects

[0012] The utility model provides a conductive caster with an automatic braking function. Compared with the prior art, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The conductive caster with automatic braking function abandons the current braking method of connecting a block with a prismatic slot and replaces it with contact friction braking. With the help of two elastic parts and the user's own gravity, the brake pad can be brought into contact with the top of the roller, thereby achieving the purpose of braking.

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a conductive caster with automatic braking function, comprising a mounting frame 100 and a bracket 300 assembled at the bottom of the mounting frame 100 through two elastic members 200, and a roller 500 rotatably mounted in the bracket 300 through an assembly rod 400. The mounting frame 100 comprises a positioning plate 110 and a column 120 vertically welded to the bottom of the positioning plate 110, a brake pad 130 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the column 120, and wing plates 140 for mounting the top of the elastic member 200 are vertically welded on both outer side walls of the column 120. The bracket 300 comprises a fixing plate 310 for mounting the bottom ends of the two elastic members 200 and two side plates 320 parallel to each other and vertically welded to the bottom of the fixing plate 310 for the assembly rod 400 to penetrate and erect, and a through hole 330 is opened in the middle of the fixing plate 310 for the column 120 to movably penetrate.

[0030] Based on the above-mentioned structural setting, the conductive caster with automatic braking function is composed of a mounting frame 100, a bracket 300, an assembly rod 400, a roller 500 and two elastic members 200, wherein the roller 500 is rotatably assembled at the bottom of the bracket 300 through the assembly rod 400, the mounting frame 100 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the device, and the bracket 300 is elastically connected to the mounting frame 100 through two elastic members 200. Specifically, during use, when the device equipped with this product bears weight, such as Chinese patent CN209454464U, when the user sits on a chair equipped with this product, due to the user's own weight, the mounting frame 100 will move downward, driving the column 120 passing through the through hole 330 to move downward until the brake pad 130 is pressed and contacted with the outer surface of the roller 500. Thereby, the effect of automatic braking is achieved. When the user leaves the chair, the two elastic members 200 drive the mounting frame 100 to reset, so that the brake pad 130 is away from the roller 500, and the roller 500 is reset and rotated. The conductive caster with automatic braking function abandons the current braking method of the card block and the prismatic card slot, and replaces it with contact friction braking. With the help of the two elastic members 200 and the user's own gravity, the brake pad 130 can be brought into contact with the top of the roller 500, thereby achieving the purpose of braking. Compared with the current card-connected braking, there will be no jamming phenomenon. At the same time, the brake pad 130 is designed to be above the roller 500 and does not affect the installation distance between the side panel 320 and the roller 500, thereby reducing the mixing of external debris and ensuring the stable operation of the roller 500.

[0031] Furthermore, the elastic member 200 includes a screw rod 210 and a nut 220 for limiting and mounting one end of the screw rod 210 on the wing plate 140, and a washer 230 for fixing the head of the screw rod 210 on the fixing plate 310, and also includes a return spring 240 sleeved on the outside of the screw rod 210, and the two ends of the return spring 240 are respectively pressed against the top of the washer 230 and the bottom of the wing plate 140. The elastic member 200 is an elastic connection structure of the bracket 300 at the bottom of the mounting frame 100. Specifically, during the installation of the elastic member 200, the screw 210 is first penetrated by the bottom of the fixing plate 310 and cooperates with the washer 230 threadedly assembled on the outside of the screw 210 to realize the positioning and installation of the head of the screw 210 on the fixing plate 310. Subsequently, the return spring 240 is sleeved on the outside of the screw 210. At the same time, the end of the screw 210 away from the head passes through the wing plate 140 and is threadedly assembled with the nut 220. The nut 220 can realize the limited installation of the top end of the screw 210 on the wing plate 140. In addition, during use, since the return spring 240 is pressed between the washer 230 and the wing plate 140, the elastic strength of the return spring 240 can be adjusted in real time by adjusting the position of the nut 220 at the end of the screw 210.

[0032] Furthermore, the tops of the two washers 230 and the bottoms of the two wing plates 140 are provided with limiting grooves 600 for accommodating the ends of the return springs 240. The two ends of the return spring 240 are respectively pressed against the bottom of the wing plate 140 and the top of the washer 230. By providing the limiting grooves 600 on one side of both of them near the ends of the return springs 240, the ends of the return springs 240 can be clamped and accommodated in the limiting grooves 600, ensuring that the return springs 240 are securely and firmly mounted between the washers 230 and the wing plates 140.

[0033] Furthermore, two baffles 340 are symmetrically distributed and respectively cover the front and rear sides of the top of the roller 500, and the two baffles 340 are welded to the bracket 300. The two baffles 340 are respectively used to provide protection for the front and rear of the roller 500, which can further prevent the mixing of external debris and ensure the stability of the operation of the roller 500.
