[0018] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] An adjustable resistance universal ball joint mechanism, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, it includes a connecting arm 100 and a universal joint connector 200 movably disposed at one end of the connecting arm 100. A resistance adjustment component is also provided at one end of the connecting arm 100. The resistance adjustment component is used to adjust the frictional resistance between the universal joint connector 200 and one end of the connecting arm 100. Specifically, this utility model has a novel structure and ingenious design. The universal joint connector 200 is used to connect with external equipment. The universal joint connector 200 is movably disposed at one end of the connecting arm 100, and the resistance adjustment component is used to adjust the resistance between the universal joint connector 200 and the connecting arm 100, so as to adapt to external equipment of different weights. It is convenient to adjust and flexible to use.

[0020] In this embodiment, one end of the connecting arm 100 is provided with a movable ball cavity 3, and one end of the universal joint connector 200 is movably disposed within the movable ball cavity 3. The universal joint connector 200 includes a universal ball head 1 and a threaded connection portion 2 disposed at one end of the universal ball head 1, which is movably disposed within the movable ball cavity 3. Specifically, the universal ball head 1 is movably and limited within the movable ball cavity 3, and one end of the connecting arm 100 is provided with a limiting groove 12, which communicates with the movable ball cavity 3. The threaded connection portion 2 extends from the limiting groove 12 to limit the range of motion of the universal joint connector 200, ensuring that the connected external device moves within the limited range.

[0021] In this embodiment, the resistance adjustment assembly includes a connecting bracket 4, an elastic element 5, a top block 6, a pressure block 7, a resistance adjustment screw 8, a transmission bevel gear 9, a drive bevel gear 10, and a resistance adjustment component 11. The connecting bracket 4 is installed inside the connecting arm 100. The resistance adjustment component 11 is rotatably mounted on the connecting arm 100 and the connecting bracket 4. One end of the resistance adjustment component 11 protrudes into the connecting arm 100 and is fixedly fitted with the drive bevel gear 10. One end of the top block 6 extends into the movable ball cavity 3 and abuts against the universal joint connector 200. One end of the resistance adjustment screw 8 slides through the other end of the top block 6. The other end of the screw 8 is rotatably connected to the connecting bracket 4. The transmission bevel gear 9 is fixedly sleeved on the other end of the resistance adjusting screw 8. The transmission bevel gear 9 is meshed and connected to the drive bevel gear 10. The elastic element 5 is movably sleeved on the outer periphery of the resistance adjusting screw 8. The pressure block 7 is threadedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the resistance adjusting screw 8. The elastic element 5 is located between the pressure block 7 and the top block 6. The two ends of the elastic element 5 are respectively connected to the pressure block 7 and the top block 6. The pressure block 7 and the top block 6 slide against the inner wall of the connecting arm 100. The elastic element 5 is a spring. The resistance adjusting element 11 is a bolt or a pin.

[0022] Specifically, under the above configuration, rotating the resistance adjusting component 11 drives the drive bevel gear 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission bevel gear 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the resistance adjusting screw 8 to rotate, thereby driving the pressure block 7 to move back and forth along the resistance adjusting screw 8. When the pressure block 7 moves forward toward the universal joint connector 200, the elastic component 5 pushes the top block 6 forward to enhance the frictional resistance between the top block 6 and the universal ball joint 1 of the universal joint connector 200. When the resistance adjusting component 11 is rotated in the opposite direction, the pressure block 7 is moved away from the universal joint connector 200 to reduce the frictional resistance between the top block 6 and the universal joint connector 200. Under the above configuration, the frictional resistance is adjustable, adaptable to external equipment of various weights, and can meet various angle requirements when the external equipment is working.

[0023] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model.
