Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of device support technology, and in particular to a foot pad and a device having a foot pad. Background Technology

[0002] When placing the device, in order to avoid direct contact between the device body and the mounting surface, which may cause friction or collision, feet are usually installed on the bottom of the device body to separate the device body from the mounting surface. If the mounting surface is uneven, the feet need to be adjusted to adjust the height of the device body so that the device body can be placed stably. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a foot pad and a device with a foot pad, which enables the device body to be placed stably and the foot pad can be adjusted easily and simply.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a foot pad, comprising:

[0005] The base includes a first part, the extension direction of which is parallel to a preset direction;

[0006] An adjusting member is sleeved on the first part, the adjusting member is movably connected to the first part, and the adjusting member moves relative to the first part along the preset direction;

[0007] An elastic element is provided on the foot, and its elastic extension and contraction direction is parallel to the preset direction;

[0008] A bracket is disposed on the elastic member. The bracket includes a support for supporting an external structure and a limiting part for mounting the elastic member. The support is connected to the limiting part, and the elastic member undergoes elastic deformation under the pressure of the limiting part.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the adjusting member is slidably connected to the first portion, and the adjusting member slides relative to the first portion along the preset direction;

[0010] or,

[0011] The first part has an external thread on its outer periphery, and the adjusting member has an adjusting through hole. The adjusting through hole has an internal thread that mates with the external thread. The adjusting member is threadedly connected to the first part through the adjusting through hole. When the adjusting member rotates relative to the first part around the preset direction, the adjusting member moves relative to the first part along the preset direction.

[0012] Based on the above embodiments, when the adjusting member is connected to the first part via a sliding connection, the adjusting member can slide relative to the first part in a preset direction, thereby adjusting the height of the device body. When the adjusting member is connected to the first part via a threaded connection, the adjusting member can rotate around a preset direction, and due to the threaded connection between the adjusting member and the first part, when the adjusting member rotates relative to the first part in the preset direction, the adjusting member moves relative to the first part in the preset direction, thereby adjusting the height of the device body.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the adjusting member includes an adjusting gear, which is sleeved on the first portion and threadedly connected to the first portion.

[0014] Based on the above embodiments, the adjusting gear can be rotated to move relative to the first part in a preset direction.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the foot pad further includes:

[0016] A reduction gear is located to the side of the adjusting gear, and the teeth on the reduction gear mesh with the teeth on the adjusting gear. The transmission ratio between the adjusting gear and the reduction gear is greater than 1.

[0017] Based on the above embodiments, the adjustment gear can be rotated by turning the reduction gear, so that the adjustment gear moves in a preset direction. Since the transmission ratio between the adjustment gear and the reduction gear is greater than 1, the torque required to rotate the reduction gear is small, thereby achieving the purpose of saving effort.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the foot pad further includes:

[0019] A dial is fixedly connected to the reduction gear.

[0020] Based on the above embodiments, the reduction gear can be rotated by turning the dial, without having to directly turn the reduction gear, thus avoiding damage to the reduction gear when turning it.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the adjusting member further includes an adjusting nut, which is sleeved on the first part and located inside the adjusting gear. The adjusting nut is fixedly connected to the adjusting gear and threadedly connected to the first part.

[0022] Based on the above embodiments, the adjusting gear can be threadedly connected to the first part through the adjusting nut, so that the threaded connection between the adjusting gear and the first part can be achieved without machining the inner side of the adjusting gear. Furthermore, the adjusting nut can be made of metals with high hardness and structural strength, such as iron or iron alloys, while the adjusting gear can be made of materials such as plastic, which can reduce the cost of the adjusting component while ensuring the structural strength of the adjusting component.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the foot pad further includes:

[0024] The mounting base is disposed on the first part, the elastic element is sleeved on the mounting base, and there is a gap between the mounting base and the adjusting element.

[0025] Based on the above embodiments, the mounting base is used to mount the elastic element onto the first part to facilitate the installation of the elastic element.

[0026] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting base includes:

[0027] A support portion is located on the side close to the first portion, and the elastic member is located between the limiting portion and the support portion. One end of the elastic member contacts the support portion, and the other end of the elastic member contacts the limiting portion.

[0028] A limiting post is located on the side of the support portion away from the first portion and is connected to the support portion; the elastic element is sleeved on the limiting post.

[0029] Based on the above embodiments, compared to using the first part to provide installation and support for the end of the elastic element, the support part can provide a flatter bearing surface for the end of the elastic element. Simultaneously, the support part can realize the transmission of force between the elastic element and the first part, allowing the first part to bear part of the weight of the device body. The limiting post extends along a preset direction, and the elastic element is sleeved on the limiting post. The limiting post can guide the elastic extension and contraction direction of the elastic element, ensuring that the elastic extension and contraction direction of the elastic element is parallel to the preset direction.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting base further includes a mounting portion, one end of which is connected to the side of the support portion away from the limiting post, and the other end of which is connected to the first portion.

[0031] Based on the above embodiments, the support is installed on the first part through the mounting part, which facilitates the transmission of force between the support part and the first part.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, the base further includes:

[0033] The second part is connected to the first part and is located away from the limiting part. The first part includes a first end face that is away from the limiting part. The cross-sectional area of ​​the second part is larger than the area of ​​the first end face.

[0034] Based on the above embodiments, the second part is used to place on the mounting surface and contact the mounting surface. Compared with the first end face of the first part contacting the mounting surface, the second part contacting the mounting surface through the supporting surface can increase the contact area between the foot and the mounting surface, making the device body more stable on the mounting surface, and avoiding the first part from being damaged due to friction or collision with the mounting surface.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the foot seat further includes an anti-rotation portion disposed on the first portion or the second portion.

[0036] Based on the above embodiments, the anti-rotation part can prevent the foot from rotating with the adjusting member, thereby ensuring that when the adjusting member is rotated, the adjusting member can rotate relative to the first part in a preset direction.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, the bracket further includes a connecting portion located between the limiting portion and the support. The limiting portion is connected to the support through the connecting portion. The limiting portion, the support, and the connecting portion together form a receiving cavity, and the elastic member is located within the receiving cavity.

[0038] Based on the above embodiments, the inner wall of the receiving cavity can be used to limit the elastic extension and contraction direction of the elastic element, preventing the elastic element from tilting too much, and the receiving cavity can also be used to protect the elastic element.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the bracket further includes a stop portion that extends toward the adjusting member.

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, the stop portion is used to limit the adjustment member, preventing large relative displacement between the adjustment member and the bracket and the device body when the adjustment member moves upward in a preset direction.

[0041] Secondly, this application also provides a device with a foot pad, including a device body and a foot pad as described in any of the above embodiments;

[0042] The device body includes a housing, the housing includes a base plate, the base plate has an opening for the first part to pass through; the adjusting member is located between the base plate and the support, the support is fixedly connected to the base plate.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the device body has a cavity, the adjusting member and the actuating disc of the foot pad are both located in the cavity, and the housing has an opening for partially exposing the actuating disc.

[0044] Based on the above embodiments, placing the adjusting component and the actuating disc of the foot pad within the cavity protects them and reduces the space occupied by the device. The actuating disc is exposed through an opening, allowing the operator to rotate it and thus rotate the adjusting component. It should be noted that the bracket, elastic element, support portion, and limiting post can also all be located within the cavity.

[0045] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: When the foot pad is installed on the device body, the first part is set vertically, the support is connected to the device body, and when the adjusting member moves upward relative to the first part, it drives the device body to move upward. When the adjusting member moves downward relative to the first part, the device body and the support can move downward under the action of gravity, thereby adjusting the height of the device body. When adjusting the height of the device body, it is not necessary to rotate the first part, so there is no need to lift the device body to adjust the height. The height adjustment of the device body is more intuitive and convenient for users to operate. When the device body is in a suspended state, the elastic member is in a compressed state. The device body is connected to the first part through the support and the elastic member. The elastic member is supported by the first part, so that part of the weight of the device body is borne by the first part, which can reduce the downward pressure on the adjusting member, thereby reducing the downward pressure on the connection between the adjusting member and the first part. This can reduce the friction at the connection between the adjusting member and the first part when the adjusting member moves relative to the first part in a preset direction, thereby achieving the purpose of saving effort when manually adjusting the adjusting member, making it easier and smoother for users to operate the foot pad, and improving the user experience.

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0055] When placing the device, in order to avoid direct contact between the device body and the mounting surface, which may cause friction or collision, feet are usually installed on the bottom of the device body to separate the device body from the mounting surface. If the mounting surface is uneven, the feet need to be adjusted to adjust the height of the device body so that the device body can be placed stably.

[0056] This application provides a foot pad and a device with a foot pad, which can adjust the height of the device body 20 by adjusting the foot pad 10, so that the device body 20 can be placed stably, and the adjustment of the foot pad 10 is easy and simple.

[0057] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a foot pad 10, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the foot pad 10 includes a foot base 11, an adjusting member 12, a bracket 13, and an elastic member 14.

[0058] The foot 11 is used to place on the mounting surface and provide support for the device body 20, allowing the device body 20 to be suspended in the air. This separates the device body 20 from the mounting surface, preventing direct contact and friction or collision. The mounting surface can be flat or uneven, such as a ground, table, or countertop; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations. The foot 11 includes a first part 111, whose extension direction is parallel to a preset direction AA. The first part 111 is rod-shaped, and the shape and area of ​​its cross-section can be the same at all points. The length and cross-sectional dimensions of the first part 111 can be selected according to actual needs; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations. The first part 111 can be a screw, in which case the preset direction AA is the axial direction of the screw.

[0059] The adjusting member 12 is sleeved on the first part 111, and the adjusting member 12 is movably connected to the first part 11. The adjusting member 12 moves relative to the first part 11 along the preset direction AA. It can be understood that the adjusting member 12 can slide or move relative to the first part 111 along the preset direction AA.

[0060] The elastic element 14 is disposed on the foot 11, and its elastic extension direction is parallel to the preset direction AA. The elastic element 14 can be a spring, rubber or latex, etc., and the elastic element 14 can undergo elastic deformation.

[0061] The bracket 13 is disposed on the elastic member 14. The bracket 13 includes a support 131 and a limiting part 132. The support 131 is connected to the limiting part 132. The elastic member 14 undergoes elastic deformation under the pressure of the limiting part 132. The support 131 is used to support the external structure, and the limiting part 132 is used to mount the elastic member 14.

[0062] It should be noted that the external structure is the device body 20 to be supported. The support 131 is used to connect with the device body 20 so that the foot pad 10 can support the device body 20. When the foot pad 10 is installed on the device body 20, the support 131 moves in the preset direction AA with the adjusting member 12 so that the limiting part 132 and the device body 20 can move in the preset direction AA with the adjusting member 12, thereby adjusting the height of the device body 20. The elastic member 14 always stays in contact with the limiting part 132 during the movement of the limiting part 132 in the preset direction AA. The device body 20 is connected to the limiting part 132 through the support 131. The elastic member 14 is compressed by the limiting part 132. The elastic member 14 can be used to bear part of the weight of the device body 20 by the first part 111.

[0063] It should also be noted that in the related technology, the adjusting component 12 is fixedly connected to the device body 20, and the first part 111 contacts the mounting surface. The height of the device body 20 is adjusted by rotating the first part 111. Due to the large weight of the device body 20, the friction between the first part 111 and the mounting surface is too large. When adjusting the height of the device body 20, it is necessary to lift the device body 20 and then adjust the height. Moreover, the adjustment is not intuitive when lifting the device body 20, which may require multiple adjustments, making it inconvenient for users to operate.

[0064] In this application, see also Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the foot pad 10 is installed on the device body 20 and the preset direction AA is vertical, the first part 111 is set vertically, the support 131 is connected to the device body 20, and when the adjusting member 12 moves upward relative to the first part 111, it drives the device body 20 to move upward. When the adjusting member 12 moves downward relative to the first part 111, the device body 20 and the support 13 can move downward under the action of gravity, thereby adjusting the height of the device body 20. When adjusting the height of the device body 20, it is not necessary to rotate the first part 111, so there is no need to lift the device body 20 to adjust the height. The adjustment of the height of the device body 20 is more intuitive and convenient for users to operate.

[0065] It should also be noted that in this application, when the device body 20 is in a suspended state, the elastic element 14 is in a compressed state. Taking the installation of only one foot pad 10 on the device body 20 as an example, the weight of the device body 20 is G. 设备 The weight of support 13 is G. 支架 At this time, the upward support force provided by the adjusting member 12 to the bracket 13 is F1, and the upward support force provided by the elastic member 14 to the limiting part 132 is F2. At this time, F1 + F2 = G. 设备 +G 支架 When the device body 20 is connected to the first part 111 via the bracket 13 and the elastic member 14, the elastic member 14 is supported by the first part 111, so that part of the weight of the device body 20 is borne by the foot 11, which can reduce the downward pressure on the adjusting member 12, thereby reducing the downward pressure on the connection between the adjusting member 12 and the first part 111. This can reduce the friction at the connection between the adjusting member 12 and the first part 111 when the adjusting member 12 moves relative to the first part in the preset direction AA, thus achieving the purpose of saving effort when manually adjusting the adjusting member 12, making it easier and smoother for the user to operate the foot pad 10, and improving the user experience.

[0066] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in one embodiment of this application, the first part 111 is provided with an external thread 111c on its outer periphery, and the adjusting member 12 is provided with an adjusting through hole 123. The adjusting through hole 123 is provided with an internal thread (not shown in the figure) that mates with the external thread 111c. The adjusting member 12 can be threadedly connected to the first part 111 through the adjusting through hole 123. When the adjusting member 12 rotates relative to the first part 111 around the preset direction AA, the adjusting member 12 moves relative to the first part 111 along the preset direction AA.

[0067] It is understood that the adjusting member 12 can rotate around the preset direction AA, and due to the threaded connection between the adjusting member 12 and the first part 111, when the adjusting member 12 rotates around the preset direction AA relative to the first part 111, the adjusting member 12 moves along the preset direction AA relative to the first part 111, thereby adjusting the height of the device body 20.

[0068] Of course, the adjusting member 12 can also be slidably connected to the first part 111. The adjusting member 12 slides relative to the first part 111 along the preset direction AA, thereby adjusting the height of the device body 20.

[0069] For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in some embodiments of this application, the adjusting member 12 includes an adjusting gear 121, which is sleeved on the first part 111 and threadedly connected to the first part 111. The adjusting gear 121 can be rotated to move relative to the first part 111 along a preset direction AA. Of course, the adjusting member 12 may also include a wing nut, which is sleeved on the first part 111 and threadedly connected to the first part 111, and can also be rotated to move relative to the first part 111 along the preset direction AA.

[0070] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in one embodiment of this application, the foot pad 10 further includes a reduction gear 15, which is located to the side of the adjusting gear 121. The teeth on the reduction gear 15 mesh with the teeth on the adjusting gear 121, and the transmission ratio between the adjusting gear 121 and the reduction gear 15 is greater than 1. The specific value of the transmission ratio between the adjusting gear 121 and the reduction gear 15 can be selected according to the actual situation, such as 2, 3, 4 or other values, and this application does not make a specific limitation.

[0071] It should be noted that the adjustment gear 121 can be rotated by turning the reduction gear 15, so that the adjustment gear 121 moves in the preset direction AA. The transmission ratio between the adjustment gear 121 and the reduction gear 15 is greater than 1, so the torque required to rotate the reduction gear 15 is small, thus achieving the purpose of saving effort.

[0072] It should also be noted that when the foot pad 10 is installed on the device body 20, the reduction gear 15 can be rotatably connected to the device body 20 or the bracket 13 around the axial direction of the reduction gear 15 via a support shaft 18, while the adjusting member 12 is clamped between the support 131 and the base plate 21 of the device body 20 (e.g., Figure 5 By using the support 131 and the base plate 21 of the device body 20 to limit the adjustment member 12, the adjustment member 12 will not move relative to the device body 20, the bracket 13 and the reduction gear 15 in the preset direction AA when the adjustment member 12 moves downward. As a result, the reduction gear 15 and the adjustment gear 121 will always remain in mesh during the movement of the adjustment gear 121 in the preset direction AA.

[0073] The adjusting gear 121 and the reduction gear 15 can both be spur gears, in which case the axial direction of the reduction gear 15 is parallel to the axial direction of the adjusting gear 121. Alternatively, the adjusting gear 121 and the reduction gear 15 can both be bevel gears, in which case the axial direction of the reduction gear 15 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the adjusting gear 121.

[0074] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in one embodiment of this application, the foot pad 10 further includes a dial 16, which is fixedly connected to the reduction gear 15. The reduction gear 15 can be rotated by turning the dial 16 without directly turning the reduction gear 15, thereby avoiding damage to the reduction gear 15 when turning it.

[0075] The outer periphery of the dial 16 may be provided with anti-slip texture 161, which is arranged in a preset direction AA. The anti-slip texture 161 on the outer periphery of the dial 16 can increase friction, thereby facilitating the operation of the dial 16. The shape and size of the anti-slip texture 161 can be selected according to actual needs, and this application does not impose specific limitations.

[0076] It should be noted that the actuating disc 16 and the reduction gear 15 are arranged along a preset direction. The actuating disc 16 can be coaxially arranged and integrally formed with the reduction gear 15. In this case, the actuating disc 16 and the reduction gear 15 are sleeved on the same support shaft 18, so that the reduction gear 15 can be driven to rotate synchronously by actuating the actuating disc 16, and the connection strength between the actuating disc 16 and the reduction gear 15 can be strengthened. Of course, the actuating disc 16 can also be located on the side of the support shaft 18.

[0077] It should also be noted that the cross-sectional shape of the dial 16 is preferably circular. Of course, depending on the actual needs, the cross-sectional shape of the dial 16 can also be elliptical, teardrop-shaped or other shapes.

[0078] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the adjusting member 12 further includes an adjusting nut 122, which is sleeved on the first part 111 and located inside the adjusting gear 121. The adjusting nut 122 is fixedly connected to the adjusting gear 121 and threadedly connected to the first part 111.

[0079] It is understandable that the adjusting gear 121 can be threadedly connected to the first part 111 through the adjusting nut 122, so that the threaded connection between the adjusting gear 121 and the first part 111 can be achieved without machining the inner side of the adjusting gear 121. Furthermore, the adjusting nut 122 can be made of metals with high hardness and structural strength, such as iron or iron alloys, while the adjusting gear 121 can be made of materials such as plastic, which can reduce the cost of the adjusting component 12 while ensuring the structural strength of the adjusting component 12.

[0080] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the support 131 can be arranged around the periphery of the first part 111, so that the periphery of the adjusting member 12 is evenly stressed, preventing the downward pressure of the device body 20 and the support 131 on the adjusting member 12 from being concentrated in a part of the adjusting member 12, causing the adjusting member 12 to tilt.

[0081] In one embodiment of this application, the bracket 13 may further include a connecting portion 133, which is located between the limiting portion 132 and the support 131. The limiting portion 132 is connected to the support 131 through the connecting portion 133. The limiting portion 132, the support 131, and the connecting portion 133 together form a receiving cavity 134. The elastic member 14 is located within the receiving cavity 134. The inner wall of the receiving cavity 134 can be used to limit the elastic extension and contraction direction of the elastic member 14, preventing the elastic member 14 from tilting too much. At the same time, the receiving cavity 134 can also be used to protect the elastic member 14.

[0082] The outer periphery of the elastic member 14 can contact the inner wall of the receiving cavity 134, so that the inner wall of the receiving cavity 134 can better limit the elastic extension and contraction direction of the elastic member 14.

[0083] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in one embodiment of this application, the bracket 13 may further include a fixing part 135, which is fixedly connected to the support 131 and the device body 20. The fixing part 135 may be fixedly connected to the device body 20 by welding, riveting, bolting or gluing.

[0084] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the bracket 13 may further include a stop portion 136, which extends toward the adjusting member 12 to limit the adjusting member 12 and prevent the adjusting member 12 from having a large relative displacement with the bracket 13 and the device body 20 when it moves upward along the preset direction AA.

[0085] The stop portion 136 can contact the adjusting member 12 to achieve a better limiting effect; the stop portion 136 can also be spaced apart from the adjusting member 12, and the gap between the stop portion 136 and the adjusting member 12 is less than a preset value, so as to ensure the limiting function of the stop portion 136 while eliminating the friction between the adjusting member 12 and the stop portion 136 when rotating, so as to facilitate the rotation of the adjusting member 12. The preset value can be selected according to actual needs, such as 0.2 cm.

[0086] It should be noted that the bracket 13 can be a one-piece molded structure, that is, the support 131, the limiting part 132, the connecting part 133, the fixing part 135, and the stopping part 136 can be integrally molded. Of course, the support 131, the limiting part 132, the connecting part 133, the fixing part 135, and the stopping part 136 can also be molded separately and then assembled by welding, riveting, bolting, gluing, or other connection methods.

[0087] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the foot 11 further includes a second part 112, which is connected to the first part 111 and is located away from the limiting part 132. The first part 111 includes a first end face 111a located away from the limiting part 132, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the second part 112 is larger than the area of ​​the first end face 111a.

[0088] The second part 112 is used to place on the mounting surface and contact the mounting surface. Compared with the first end face 111a of the first part 111 contacting the mounting surface, the second part 112's support surface 112a contacts the mounting surface, which can increase the contact area between the foot 11 and the mounting surface. This can make the device body 20 more stable on the mounting surface and can prevent the first part 111 from being damaged due to friction or collision with the mounting surface.

[0089] Specifically, the foot seat 11 also includes an anti-rotation part 19, which can be disposed on the first part 111 or the second part 112. The anti-rotation part 19 can prevent the foot seat 10 from rotating with the adjusting member 12.

[0090] In this case, the anti-rotation part 19 can be formed by removing the peripheral part of the first part 111, so that the cross-section of the first part 111 is non-circular. When the foot pad 10 is installed on the device body 20, an opening for the first part 111 to pass through can be provided on the device body 20, and the shape of the opening is adapted to the shape of the cross-section of the first part 111, thereby preventing the foot pad 10 from rotating when the adjusting member 12 rotates.

[0091] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the foot pad 10 further includes a mounting base 17, which is disposed on the first part 111. The elastic member 14 is sleeved on the mounting base 17, and there is a gap between the mounting base 17 and the adjusting member 12. The mounting base 17 is used to install the elastic member 14 on the first part 111 to facilitate the installation of the elastic member 14.

[0092] The mounting base 17 includes a support portion 171 and a limiting post 172. The support portion 171 is located on the side close to the first portion 111. The elastic member 14 is located between the limiting part 132 and the support portion 171. One end of the elastic member 14 contacts the support portion 171, and the other end of the elastic member 14 contacts the limiting part 132. The limiting post 172 is located on the side of the support portion 171 away from the first portion 111 and is connected to the support portion 171. The elastic member 14 is sleeved on the limiting post 172.

[0093] Understandably, compared to using the first part 111 to provide mounting and support for the end of the elastic member 14, the support part 171 can provide a flatter bearing surface for the end of the elastic member 14. Simultaneously, the support part 171 enables the transmission of force between the elastic member 14 and the first part 111, allowing the first part 111 to bear part of the weight of the device body 20. The limiting post 172 extends along a preset direction AA, and the elastic member 14 is sleeved on the limiting post 172. The limiting post 172 guides the elastic extension and contraction direction of the elastic member 14, ensuring that the elastic extension and contraction direction of the elastic member 14 is parallel to the preset direction AA.

[0094] It should be noted that the support part 171 and the limiting post 172 can be integrally formed. Of course, the support part 171 and the limiting post 172 can also be formed separately and then assembled by welding, riveting, bolting, gluing or other connection methods.

[0095] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it should also be noted that the support part 171 and the limiting post 172 are both located in the receiving cavity 134. The outer periphery of the support part 171 can contact the inner wall of the receiving cavity 134, and the support part 171 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 134 are slidably connected in a preset direction AA, so as to limit the support part 171 by the inner wall of the receiving cavity 134 and prevent the support part 171 from tilting.

[0096] like Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the mounting base 17 also includes a mounting part, one end of which is connected to the side of the support part 171 away from the limiting post 172, and the other end of which is connected to the first part 111.

[0097] The mounting part may include a plug rod 171a fixed to the side of the support part 171 away from the limiting post 172. The end face of the first part 111 near the support part 171 is provided with a plug hole 111d for inserting the plug rod 171a. The plug rod 171a is threadedly connected to the support part 171 to achieve a fixed connection between the support part 171 and the first part 111.

[0098] It is understandable that the support part 171 is fixed to the first part 111 by the threaded connection between the insertion rod 171a and the insertion hole 111d, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the support part 171 and the first part 111. Furthermore, the close contact between the support part 171 and the first part 111 facilitates the transmission of force between them. Of course, depending on actual needs, the support part 171 and the first part 111 can also be connected by other means, such as welding, riveting, or gluing.

[0099] See also Figure 3 As shown, the second part 112 may further include a rigid support part 112b and a soft buffer part 112c. The rigid support part 112b is fixed to the first end face 111a, and the soft buffer part 112c is fixed to the side of the rigid support part 112b away from the first part 111. The soft buffer part 112c includes the support surface 112a.

[0100] Understandably, the rigid support 112b provides sufficient structural strength for the second part 112, and the soft buffer 112c can play a role in buffering and shock absorption, so as to reduce the vibration and impact on the device body 20 when it is placed on the mounting surface. At the same time, the soft buffer 112c can also increase the friction between the foot pad 10 and the mounting surface, thereby preventing the device body 20 from moving.

[0101] The rigid support portion 112b can be integrally formed with the first portion 111 to improve the connection strength between the rigid support portion 112b and the first portion 111; the soft support portion 171 can be embedded in the rigid support portion 112b to improve the connection strength between the soft support portion 171 and the rigid support portion 112b and prevent the soft support portion 171 from separating from the rigid support portion 112b.

[0102] For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 As shown, the first part 111 also includes a second end face 111b. The first end face 111a and the second end face 111b are the end faces of the two ends of the first part 111, respectively. The first end face 111a and the second end face 111b can be a plane or an inclined plane.

[0103] In one embodiment of this application, the insertion hole 111d is disposed on the second end face 111b, and the mounting base 17 is mounted on the second end face 111b.

[0104] Based on the aforementioned foot pad 10, this application also provides a device having a foot pad, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the device includes a device body 20 and a foot pad 10 as described in any of the above embodiments. The device can be a household appliance, such as a television, washing machine, or refrigerator. Of course, the device can also be other devices that require support using the foot pad 10, such as electronic devices or mechanical devices.

[0105] The device body 20 includes a housing, which includes a base plate 21. The base plate 21 has an opening (not shown in the figure) through which the first part 111 passes. The adjusting member 12 is located between the base plate 21 and the support 131, and the support 131 is fixedly connected to the base plate 21.

[0106] It is understandable that when the device body 20 is placed on the mounting surface, the first part 111 passes through the opening and contacts the mounting surface. At this time, the first part 111 is vertically downward, the support 131 is fixedly connected to the device body 20, and the adjusting member 12 is clamped between the base plate 21 and the support 131. When the adjusting member 12 is rotated, the adjusting member 12 moves relative to the first part 111 in a preset direction AA, and drives the bracket 13 and the device body 20 to move synchronously, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the height of the device body 20.

[0107] In one embodiment of this application, see also Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the device body 20 has a cavity 22, the adjusting member 12 and the actuating disk 16 of the foot pad 10 are both located in the cavity 22, and the housing has an opening 23 for part of the actuating disk 16 to be exposed.

[0108] Understandably, housing the adjusting member 12 and the actuating disc 16 of the foot pad 10 within the cavity 22 protects the adjusting member 12 and the actuating disc 16 and reduces the space occupied by the device. A portion of the actuating disc 16 is exposed through the opening 23, allowing the operator to rotate the exposed portion to make the actuating disc 16 rotate, thereby causing the adjusting member 12 to rotate. It should be noted that the bracket 13, the elastic member 14, the support portion 171, and the limiting post 172 can also all be located within the cavity 22.

[0109] In one embodiment of this application, four foot pads 10 are provided, and the four foot pads 10 are provided one-to-one with the four corners of the device body 20, so that the device body 20 is placed more stably on the mounting surface. Of course, depending on actual needs, only one, two, three, five or more can be provided.

[0110] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope thereof. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application shall be included within the protection scope of this application.
