Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a welding shaft and a wheel assembly and a universal wheel, in particular to a welding shaft and a wheel assembly and a universal wheel for the universal wheel. Background Art

[0002] Wheelchairs are common medical devices that provide assistance to users with physical disabilities and mobility impairments. Users can exercise, rehabilitate, or participate in various social activities with the help of wheelchairs. Current wheelchairs have the disadvantages of inconvenient steering and a large rotation radius. They cannot turn freely in a narrow space, which seriously affects the user experience. For this reason, some new wheelchairs use universal wheels instead of ordinary wheels to achieve the technical effect of arbitrary steering of the wheelchair, improve the performance of the wheelchair, and enhance the user experience of the wheelchair. However, there are several disadvantages.

[0003] 1. Wheels are important accessories for mobile products. The existing welded shaft can make the large wheel and the small wheel distributed on the same circumference, but the welded shaft setting of the large wheel and the small wheel is not evenly stressed, resulting in inaccurate steering, wear and tear, and is not conducive to mass production.

[0004] Second, there is no wear warning feature on the existing universal wheels, which makes it impossible for users to make a reasonable judgment on whether to replace the rubber wheels. Some users fail to replace the worn rubber wheels in time, causing slipping and other dangers; other users, fearing slipping and other dangers, replace the rubber wheels too frequently, causing unnecessary waste.

[0005] 3. The existing universal wheels do not have a shock-absorbing structure. The axial torque, motion stress and impact force from left and right steering directly act on the various components of the existing universal wheels. The shaking of the components causes bumps, and the friction and collision between the parts produce noise, affecting the user's comfort. The torque, stress and impact force directly acting on the components are easy to cause strain on the components, greatly reducing the service life of the universal wheel.

[0006] Fourth, the welding shaft in the wheel assembly of the universal wheel in the prior art is usually a smooth cylindrical body. When the fixing plate is connected to the welding shaft, it is difficult to locate and determine the center point of the welding shaft, so the welding connection between the fixing plate and the welding shaft deviates from the center of the welding shaft, resulting in uneven force on the left and right rubber wheels; or the welding shaft slips during the welding process, resulting in loose welding and quality risks.

[0007] 5. The universal wheel in the prior art is not removable due to the large number of non-detachable connection methods such as welding. The non-detachable structure makes the assembly of the universal wheel take a long time; and it is impossible to maintain and replace individual parts, which is not conducive to maintenance and causes a series of safety hazards. At the same time, the failure of a part can cause the entire universal wheel to be unusable, so the entire universal wheel needs to be replaced, which is costly and wasteful.

[0104] Compared with the prior art, the wheel assembly of the present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0105] This technical solution adopts the wheel assembly for the universal wheel, which includes a wheel axle fixing plate 6, a welding shaft, a large wheel 4, and a small wheel 5. The welding shaft is the welding shaft for the universal wheel as described above. Since the distance between the large wheel axle fixing hole 601 and the plate head of the wheel axle fixing plate 6 is greater than the distance between the small wheel axle fixing hole 602 and the plate head of the wheel axle fixing plate 6, and since different wheels correspond to different axle bodies, the layout of the welding shaft of the wheel assembly is more reasonable, which is conducive to the uniform distribution of the force points of the large wheel and the small wheel on the same circumference, uniform force, smoother transition, more precise steering, less prone to slipping, less wear, and long service life, which is conducive to reducing production costs and maintenance costs. At the same time, due to the coordination of the hole, the welding shaft fixing head and the retaining ring, the shaft and the plate are easy to position during welding, not easy to make a sound deviation, and convenient welding.

[0106] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, in an optional solution of this embodiment, the shape of the wheel axle fixing plate 6 is a long isosceles trapezoid;

[0111] The two sides of the bottom of the engaging groove 604 extend inwards to form a clearance groove 605;

[0112] The large wheel welding shaft fixing head 702 of the large wheel welding shaft 7 is fixed to the wheel shaft fixing plate 6 by welding.

[0113] The small wheel welding shaft fixing head 802 of the small wheel welding shaft 8 is fixed to the wheel shaft fixing plate 6 by welding.

[0114] The shape of the wheel axle fixing plate 6 can be set to different shapes as needed, and the weight reduction hole 603 can be set to effectively reduce weight. By setting the engaging groove 604, the wheel axle fixing plate 6 can be engaged with the inner and outer fixing plates.

[0115] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, in an optional solution of this embodiment, the large wheel 4 is rotatably connected to the large wheel welding shaft body 701 through a large wheel bearing 401;

[0116] The small wheel 5 is rotatably connected to the small wheel welding shaft body 801 via a small wheel bearing.

[0117] The rotation is smooth, stable and fast through the bearing connection. Preferably, both ends of the large wheel 4 are provided with large wheel bearings 401, and both ends of the small wheel 5 are provided with small wheel bearings.

[0118] Furthermore, the large wheel 4 and the large wheel welding shaft body 701 are connected by riveting through the large wheel bearing 401;

The user can understand the degree of wear of the anti-skid groove 403 by observing the depth of the top surface of the wear indication feature 402 in the anti-skid groove 403. When the top surface of the wear indication feature 402 in the anti-skid groove 403 is flush with the outer surface of the rubber wheel, the user can quickly make a judgment to replace the rubber wheel.

During use, when the top surface of the wear warning feature 402 is flush with the outer surface of the rubber wheel, the user can quickly make a decision to replace the rubber wheel.

[0135] The wear warning features 402 are distributed in the grooves of each circle. When some circles of the rubber wheel are worn and some circles are not worn, the rubber wheel will not be replaced in time because only the unworn wear warning features 402 are observed because the wear warning features 402 are not set in some circles where the wear is located.
