A sliding parking mechanism and a sliding parking assembly

Abstract

This invention discloses a sliding stop mechanism and a sliding stop assembly, suitable for sliding or stopping relative to a straight rod. The sliding stop mechanism includes a sliding member, a friction member, a reset member, and a lever. The sliding member is placed in a groove and adapted to abut against a first abutment surface; the friction member is adapted to abut against a second abutment surface; the reset member is placed between the sliding member and the friction member; the lever has a connecting part, a first abutment part, a second abutment part, and an operating part. The connecting part is in a limiting fit with the friction member and is located between the first and second abutment parts, so that the first and second abutment parts are configured to abut against the outer surface of the straight rod when the operating part is pulled, forming a fulcrum for lever rotation. When rotation continues around this fulcrum, the friction member is disengaged from the second abutment surface through the connecting part, thereby allowing the operating part to ultimately drive the sliding member to slide within the groove. During user operation, only a force is applied to the operating part to raise or lower the sliding member, making operation more convenient.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bathroom products, specifically to a sliding stop mechanism and a sliding stop assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In existing shower head moving brackets, the sliding stop mechanism can slide and stop relative to the straight rod. However, in use, the operating part is usually pushed horizontally first to disengage the friction part from the straight rod, and then a vertical force is applied to the operating part to make the sliding stop mechanism slide up and down. Since the directions of the two applied forces are perpendicular to each other, it does not conform to human mechanics and is inconvenient for users to operate. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects or problems in the prior art and to provide a sliding docking mechanism and a sliding docking component.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] Option 1: A sliding stop mechanism suitable for sliding or stopping relative to a straight rod, wherein the straight rod has a groove along its extension direction, the groove has an opening perpendicular to the extension direction, and the groove also has a first abutment surface and a second abutment surface perpendicular to the opening direction and opposite to each other; comprising:

[0006] A slider, which is placed in the groove and adapted to abut against the first abutment surface and slide within the groove;

[0007] A friction element, which is placed in the groove and adapted to abut or disengage from the second abutment surface;

[0008] A reset element is positioned between the sliding element and the friction element along the opening direction;

[0009] A lever is provided with an integrally connected connecting part, a first abutting part, a second abutting part, and an operating part. The connecting part, the first abutting part, and the second abutting part are located on the side of the slide groove with an opening. The connecting part is linked with the friction member and is located between the first abutting part and the second abutting part along the extending direction, so that the first abutting part and the second abutting part are configured to abut against the outer surface of the straight rod to form a fulcrum for the rotation of the lever when the operating part is lifted upward or pulled downward along the extending direction. When the operating part continues to rotate with the fulcrum, the friction member is disengaged from the second abutting surface through the connecting part, causing the sliding member to slide along the slide groove.

[0010] When the operating part is not subjected to force, the reset member drives the friction member and the lever to reset.

[0011] Option 2, based on Option 1, the operating part includes a first part, a second part, and a third part. The first part and the second part extend along the opening direction and are located on opposite sides of the straight rod in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction and the opening direction. The connecting part and the third part are connected to the first part and the second part respectively at both ends in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction and the opening direction. The third part and the connecting part are located on opposite sides of the straight rod in the opening direction, and there is a gap between the third part and the straight rod for the third part to rotate when it is lifted upwards or pulled downwards.

[0012] Option 3, based on Option 2, has a socket for inserting a shower head, and the third part is rotatably connected to the first and second parts to adjust the angle of the socket.

[0013] Option 4, based on Option 3, the third part includes a shower head seat and two wear-resistant rings, and the insertion hole is provided in the shower head seat; the two wear-resistant rings pass through the first part and the second part respectively in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction and the opening direction and are connected to the shower head seat to prevent rotation, and the two wear-resistant rings abut against the first part and the second part respectively.

[0014] Option 5, based on Option 1, the friction element includes a locking element and a friction seat, the friction seat being adapted to abut against or disengage from the second abutment surface; the locking element penetrates the connecting portion along the opening direction and is connected to the friction seat, and the locking element also abuts against the connecting portion to make the connecting portion and the friction element mutually linked; the sliding element and the friction element are limited and engaged along the extending direction.

[0015] Option 6, based on Option 5, the sliding member has a receiving cavity extending along the opening direction, the friction seat and the reset member are placed in the receiving cavity, and the two sides of the friction seat along the extending direction abut against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity.

[0016] Option 7, based on Option 6, includes a buckle on the friction seat and a groove on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity that allows the buckle to extend into and slide away from or near the second abutment surface; the reset member acts on the friction seat to make the buckle suitable for sliding in a direction close to the second abutment surface and abutting against the groove wall.

[0017] Option 8, based on Option 5, further includes a baffle plate extending along the opening direction and connected to the connecting portion. The baffle plate extends into the sliding groove and has a guide groove extending along the opening direction. The guide groove opens along the extending direction and faces the sliding member. The outer wall of the sliding member has a guide block that engages with the guide groove. There is a gap between the sliding member and the lever for the lever to be lifted upward or pulled downward.

[0018] Option 9, based on Option 1, the connecting part and the friction member are fixed together and move synchronously, and the part of the friction member that abuts against the second abutting surface is located between the first abutting part and the second abutting part along the extending direction.

[0019] Option 10: A sliding docking assembly, comprising a straight rod and a sliding docking mechanism as described in any one of Options 1 to 9, wherein the straight rod is provided with a groove along its extension direction, the groove is provided with an opening, the opening direction being perpendicular to the extension direction, and the groove is further provided with a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface perpendicular to the opening direction and opposite to each other; the sliding docking mechanism is adapted to slide or dock relative to the straight rod.

[0020] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. Option 1: Initially, the reset member applies force to the sliding member and the friction member at both ends of the opening direction, causing the sliding member to abut against the first abutment surface and the friction member to abut against the second abutment surface. The connecting part of the lever and the friction member are linked together. Therefore, the lever is driven by the friction member to be in a horizontal (perpendicular to the extension direction) state. From the overall perspective, the sliding stop mechanism abuts against the first abutment surface and the second abutment surface on both sides. At this time, the friction force is large, and the sliding stop mechanism stops relative to the straight rod.

[0022] When the operating part is lifted upwards or pulled downwards in the extending direction, the first and second abutting parts abut against the outer surface of the straight rod to form a fulcrum for lever rotation. Since the connecting part is located between the first and second abutting parts, there is a certain distance between the fulcrum and the connecting part. When the operating part continues to rotate around this fulcrum, the connecting part also rotates around this fulcrum. Because the connecting part of the lever is linked with the friction element, the connecting part will drive the friction element to move, causing the friction element to disengage from the second abutting surface and causing the reset element to store energy. At this time, only the sliding element abuts against the first abutting surface. The frictional force and the frictional force caused at the fulcrum are greatly reduced compared to the frictional force when the sliding member is against the first contact surface and the friction member is against the second contact surface. This allows the sliding member to slide within the groove. Since the operating part generates a force along the extension direction when it is lifted or pulled down, the sliding member can be driven to slide by continuing to apply force in the same direction. When the user operates, only the operating part needs to be applied so that the sliding member can be raised or lowered when the operating part is lifted. There is no need to apply two mutually perpendicular forces, which is more in line with human mechanics and more convenient to operate.

[0023] When the force on the operating part is released, the reset member releases energy and causes the friction member to reset, so that the friction member abuts against the second contact surface again, and the friction member also causes the lever to reset to a horizontal state.

[0024] 2. Option 2: The operating part includes a first part, a second part, and a third part. The first and second parts extend along the opening direction. The connecting part and the third part are connected to the first and second parts at both ends in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction and the opening direction, respectively. The third part and the connecting part are located on both sides of the straight rod along the opening direction. When the user operates the third part, the force is transmitted to the connecting part through the first and second parts. Since there is a gap between the third part and the straight rod, the third part will not interfere with the straight rod when it is lifted or pulled down. Furthermore, a strong arm is formed between the third part and the fulcrum, thereby saving effort and making the operation more convenient.

[0025] 3. Option 3: The third part is provided with a socket for the shower head to be inserted. The third part is rotatably connected to the first and second parts to adjust the angle of the socket. This structure can be used to hang the shower head and the height of the shower head can be adjusted to facilitate use by users of different heights.

[0026] 4. Option 4: The third part includes a shower head seat and two wear-resistant rings. The wear-resistant rings pass through the first or second part in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction and the opening direction and are connected to the shower head seat to prevent rotation. The wear-resistant rings also abut against the first or second part. The contact between the wear-resistant rings and the first or second part increases the rotational friction between the third part and the first and second parts, so that when the shower head is inserted into the shower head seat and water is flowing, it will not be affected by the weight of the shower head, the weight of the water, and the recoil force generated at the moment of water flow and will not rotate.

[0027] 5. Option 5: The friction component includes a locking component and a friction seat. The friction seat is adapted to abut against the second abutment surface. The locking component passes through the connecting part along the opening direction and is connected to the friction seat. The locking component also abuts against the connecting part to make the connecting part and the friction component move together. Due to the presence of the reset component, the locking component will not completely lock the lever and the friction component into a state where they cannot move relative to each other. The sliding component and the friction component are limited and matched along the extension direction, so that the friction component only slides along the opening direction. Therefore, when the lever is pulled, it will drive the friction component to slide in a direction away from the second abutment surface, thereby disengaging from the second abutment surface.

[0028] 6. Option Six: The sliding member has a receiving cavity extending along the opening direction. The friction seat and the reset member are placed in the receiving cavity, and the two sides of the friction seat along the extending direction abut against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity, thereby realizing the limiting cooperation between the sliding member and the friction member along the extending direction, and protecting the reset member and the friction seat.

[0029] 7. Option 7: The friction seat is equipped with a buckle, and the cavity wall of the receiving cavity is provided with a groove suitable for the buckle to extend into, which ensures the installation of the friction seat and the reset component, thereby facilitating the installation of the friction seat, the reset component and the sliding component together into the slide groove; and the groove also allows the buckle to slide away from or near the second abutment surface. The reset component acts on the friction seat to make the buckle suitable for sliding in the direction close to the second abutment surface and abutting against the groove wall, thereby ensuring that the friction seat can slide while preventing the friction seat from detaching due to the action of the reset component after installation.

[0030] 8. Option 8: The lever is also provided with a baffle plate. The baffle plate extends along the opening direction and is connected to the connecting part. The baffle plate extends into the slide groove and is provided with a guide groove extending along the opening direction. The guide groove extends along the extension direction and faces the opening of the sliding member. The sliding member is provided with a guide block that is inserted and engaged with the guide groove, thereby preventing the sliding member from rotating or sliding relative to the lever in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction and the opening direction.

[0031] The gap between the slider and the lever allows the lever to be lifted upwards and pulled downwards relative to the slider.

[0032] 9. Option Nine: The lever and friction element are fixed as a single unit and move synchronously. When the lever is pulled, the friction element is also pulled, causing it to disengage from the second contact surface. The portion of the friction element that contacts the second contact surface is located between the first and second contact parts along the extension direction, thus preventing interference between the friction element and the second contact surface when the lever is pulled further with the fulcrum as the fulcrum. Since the operating part generates a force along the extension direction when pulled, when the reset part is supported by the friction element and the sliding part, the sliding part can transmit this force to the sliding part through the reset part. Therefore, continuing to apply force will cause the sliding part to slide. During operation, the user only needs to apply the force required to pull the operating part to raise or lower the sliding part, making operation more convenient. When the force on the operating part is released, the reset part causes the friction element to rotate and reset, causing the friction element to abut against the second contact surface. The friction element also causes the lever to reset to a horizontal state.

[0033] 10. Solution 10: A sliding docking assembly, the sliding docking mechanism being suitable for sliding or docking relative to a straight rod, and having the advantages of the aforementioned sliding docking mechanism. Attached Figure Description

[0060] Example 1:

[0061] refer to Figures 1-11 A sliding docking component includes a straight rod 20 and a sliding docking mechanism 10. This sliding docking component can be used by users to hang shower heads, and it can also be used on other products that require adjustment of the relative position of two objects, such as the height adjustment of a shelf.

[0062] refer to Figure 1 The straight rod 20 has a groove 201 along its extension direction. The groove 201 has an opening perpendicular to the extension direction. The groove 201 also has a first abutment surface 2011 and a second abutment surface 2012 perpendicular to the opening direction and opposite to each other. The projection of the groove 201 onto a plane perpendicular to the extension direction is convex. The second abutment surface 2012 is formed by the bottom of the groove 201, and the first abutment surface 2011 is formed by the surface opposite to the bottom of the groove 201. In actual use, the extension direction is perpendicular to the ground, and the opening direction is perpendicular to the wall.

[0063] refer to Figures 2-11 The sliding stop mechanism 10 is suitable for sliding or stopping relative to the straight rod 20. The sliding stop mechanism 10 includes a sliding member 1, a friction member 2, a reset member 3, a lever 4, and a rear cover 5.

[0064] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 9 The sliding member 1 is placed in the sliding groove 201 and is adapted to abut against the first abutment surface 2011. Several abutment blocks 11 are provided on the outer wall of the sliding member 1. The abutment blocks 11 abut against the first abutment surface 2011, with a small abutment area and low friction. The sliding member 1 also has a receiving cavity 12 extending along the opening direction. The receiving cavity 12 has slots 121 on both walls perpendicular to the extension direction. Guide blocks 13 extending along the opening direction are protruding from both outer walls of the sliding member 1 perpendicular to the extension direction. In this embodiment, the slots 121 penetrate the guide blocks 13.

[0065] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5The friction element 2 is placed within the sliding groove 201 and is adapted to abut or disengage from the second abutment surface 2012. Specifically, the friction element 2 includes a friction seat 21 and a locking element 22. The friction seat 21 is adapted to abut or disengage from the second abutment surface 2012 and is placed within the receiving cavity 12, and the two sides of the friction seat 21 along the extending direction abut against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 12, thereby limiting the engagement of the friction element 2 and the sliding element 1 along the extending direction. The friction seat 21 includes a mounting base 211 and a friction block 212. The mounting base 211 is also provided with buckles 2111, and two buckles 2111 are respectively protruding from the outer walls of the two sides of the mounting base 211 in directions perpendicular to the extending direction and the opening direction; the buckles 2111 are adapted to extend into the slot 121 and can slide within the slot 121 away from or near the second abutment surface 2012. Mounting base 211 has a mounting groove 2112 with its opening facing the second abutment surface 2012. Friction block 212 is detachably installed in mounting groove 2112 and partially extends out of the groove to abut against the second abutment surface 2012. In this embodiment, friction block 212 is engaged with the groove wall of mounting groove 2112 to achieve detachable installation. Mounting base 211 also has a threaded post 2113 extending in a direction away from the second abutment surface 2012. In this embodiment, threaded post 2113 extends from inside the receiving cavity 12 to outside the receiving cavity 12 to facilitate assembly.

[0066] The locking member 22 is suitable for connection with the friction seat 21. It can be in the form of snap-fit, plug-in or screw-fit. In this embodiment, the locking member 22 is a threaded member, which is screwed to the threaded post 2113 of the mounting seat 211 to achieve a more stable connection.

[0067] refer to Figure 5 The reset member 3 is placed between the sliding member 1 and the friction member 2 along the opening direction. The reset member 3 is a spring. In this embodiment, two reset members 3 are placed in the receiving cavity 12 and are located on both sides of the threaded post 2113 along the extension direction. In this embodiment, along the opening direction, the two ends of the reset member 3 abut against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 12 and the mounting seat 211 of the friction seat 21, respectively, thereby pushing the friction seat 21 to reset to the state of abutting against the second abutment surface 2012. The reset member 3 acts on the friction seat 21 to make the buckle 2111 suitable for sliding close to the second abutment surface 2012 and abutting against the groove wall of the slot 121. This ensures that the friction seat 21 can slide while preventing the friction seat 21 from detaching from the sliding member 1 after installation due to the action of the reset member 3. To ensure that the position of the reset member 3 is relatively fixed during installation and use and to increase stability, the friction member 2 and the sliding member 1 are provided with protrusions facing each other and spaced apart from each other. The reset member 3 is sleeved on the protrusions.

[0068] refer to Figures 6-8The lever 4 is provided with an integrally connected connecting part 41, a first abutting part 42, a second abutting part 43, an operating part 44, and a baffle 45. The connecting part 41, the first abutting part 42, and the second abutting part 43 are located on the side of the slide groove 201 with an opening; the connecting part 41 is linked with the friction member 2, specifically, it can be limited and engaged along the opening direction, so that the connecting part 41 and the friction member 2 can move together, that is, the connecting part 41 can drive the friction member 2 to move, and the friction member 2 can also drive the connecting part 41 to move. Specifically, in this embodiment, the limited engagement of the connecting part 41 and the friction member 2 along the opening direction is achieved by two surfaces perpendicular to the opening direction, facing each other and abutting. Reference Figure 11 The locking member 22 passes through the connecting part 41 and the sliding member 1 along the opening direction and is screwed to the threaded post 2113 of the friction seat 21. The end cap of the locking member 22 also abuts against the surface of the connecting part 41, thereby limiting the engagement between the connecting part 41 and the friction member 2 along the opening direction. Furthermore, the connecting part 41 is located between the first abutting part 42 and the second abutting part 43 along the extending direction, so that the first abutting part 42 and the second abutting part 43 are configured to abut against the outer surface of the straight rod 20 to form the fulcrum of the lever 4 when the operating part 44 is lifted or pulled down in the extending direction. This allows the operating part 44 to continue to rotate forward or backward with the fulcrum, thereby disengaging the friction member 2 from the second abutting surface 2012 through the connecting part 41, thus allowing the operating part 44 to ultimately drive the sliding member 1 to slide within the groove 201.

[0069] In this embodiment, the fulcrum formed by the first abutting part 42 and the second abutting part 43 abutting against the outer surface of the straight rod 20 is a line segment, which is perpendicular to the line segment in the opening direction and the extension direction.

[0070] The operating part 44 includes a first part 441, a second part 442, and a third part 443, with the first part 441 and the second part 442 extending along the opening direction. The first part 441 and the second part 442 are located on both sides of the straight rod 20 along the direction perpendicular to the extension direction and the opening direction, respectively. The two ends of the connecting part 41 and the third part 443 in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction and the opening direction are connected to the first part 441 and the second part 442, respectively. The third part 443 and the connecting part 41 are located on both sides of the straight rod 20 along the opening direction, and there is a gap between the third part 443 and the straight rod 20 for the third part 443 to be lifted upward or pulled downward.

[0071] refer to Figure 8In this embodiment, the third part 443 is provided with a socket 4431 for inserting the shower head, so that the shower head can be hung on it. The third part 443 is rotatably connected to the first part 441 and the second part 442 about an axis perpendicular to the opening direction and the extension direction to adjust the angle of the socket 4431. The sliding docking assembly can be used to hang the shower head and adjust the height of the shower head for users of different heights. The third part 443 includes a shower head seat 4432 and two wear-resistant rings 4433. The shower head seat 4432 is provided with an insertion hole 4431. The two wear-resistant rings 4433 pass through the first part 441 and the second part 442 respectively in directions perpendicular to the extension direction and the opening direction, and are connected to the shower head seat 4432 to prevent rotation. The two wear-resistant rings 4433 also abut against the first part 441 and the second part 442 respectively. The contact between the wear-resistant rings 4433 and the first part 441 or the second part 442 increases the rotational friction between the third part 443 and the first part 441 and the second part 442, so that when the shower head is inserted into the shower head seat 4432 and water is flowing, it will not be affected by the weight of the shower head, the weight of the water, and the recoil force generated at the moment of water flow and will not rotate. Specifically, the anti-rotation connection between the wear-resistant ring 4433 and the shower seat 4432 is as follows: the shower seat 4432 is cylindrical in shape, and an anti-rotation rib 44321 extending radially is provided on the shower seat 4432. The wear-resistant ring 4433 is provided with an anti-rotation groove 44331 that inserts into the anti-rotation rib 44321, thereby achieving an anti-rotation connection. To prevent the shower seat 4432 and the wear-resistant ring 4433 from easily separating, the third part 443 also includes a screw 4434. The screw 4434 passes through the wear-resistant ring 4433 and is screwed into the shower seat 4432 to lock the two together. To prevent the screw 4434, locking member 22, etc. from being exposed and affecting the appearance, in this embodiment, a back cover 5 is also provided. The back cover 5 is engaged with the lever 4 to cover the connecting part 41, the first part 441 and the second part 442 to conceal the screw 4434 and the connecting part 41, thereby ensuring aesthetics.

[0072] refer to Figure 7 The lever 4 is also provided with two baffles 45, which are located on both sides of the connecting part 41 along the extension direction. The baffles 45 are connected to the connecting part 41 and extend into the slide groove 201. The baffles 45 are provided with guide grooves 451 extending along the opening direction. The guide grooves 451 are inserted into the guide block 13 to prevent the sliding member 1 from rotating or sliding relative to the lever 4 in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction and the opening direction. There is a gap between the sliding member 1 and the lever 4 for the lever 4 to be lifted upward or pulled downward, so that it will not be unable to rotate due to contact and interference with the sliding member 1.

[0073] refer to Figure 10 , Figure 11Initially, the reset member 3 applies force to the sliding member 1 and the friction member 2 at both ends in the opening direction, so that the sliding member 1 abuts against the first abutting surface 2011 and the friction member 2 abuts against the second abutting surface 2012. The connecting part 41 of the lever 4 is linked with the friction member 2. Therefore, the lever 4 is driven by the friction member 2 to be in a horizontal (perpendicular to the extension direction) state. From the overall perspective, the two sides of the sliding stop mechanism 10 abut against the first abutting surface 2011 and the second abutting surface 2012. At this time, the friction force is large, and the sliding stop mechanism 10 stops relative to the straight rod 20.

[0074] When the operating part 44 is lifted or pulled down, the first abutment part 42 and the second abutment part 43 abut against the outer surface of the straight rod 20 to form a fulcrum for the rotation of the lever 4. Specifically, when the operating part 44 is pulled down, the first abutment part 42 abuts against the straight rod 20 to form a fulcrum. Since the connecting part 41 is located between the first abutment part 42 and the second abutment part 43, there is a certain distance between the fulcrum and the connecting part 41. When the operating part 44 continues to rotate in the same direction with this fulcrum, the connecting part 41 also rotates with this fulcrum. Since the connecting part 41 of the lever 4 is linked with the friction member 2, the connecting part 41 will drive the friction member 2 to move to disengage from the second abutment surface 2012.

[0075] Conversely, when lifted, the second abutment part 43 abuts against the straight rod 20 to form a fulcrum. Similarly, when the operating part 44 continues to rotate in the same direction with this fulcrum, the connecting part 41 also rotates with this fulcrum. Since the connecting part 41 of the lever 4 is linked with the friction member 2, the connecting part 41 will drive the friction member 2 to move to disengage from the second abutment surface 2012.

[0076] In actual operation, the height is adjusted by applying force to the third part 443. Since the third part 443 and the connecting part 41 are located on both sides of the straight rod 20 along the opening direction, the user can operate the third part 443 and transmit the force to the connecting part 41 through the first part 441 and the second part 442. There is a gap between the third part 443 and the straight rod 20 for the third part 443 to be lifted, so the third part 443 will not interfere with the straight rod 20 when it rotates; and a strong arm is also formed between the third part 443 and the fulcrum, thereby saving effort and making operation more convenient.

[0077] In this embodiment, due to the presence of the reset member 3, the locking member 22 will not completely lock the lever 4 and the friction member 2 into a state where they cannot move relative to each other; and the sliding member 1 and the friction member 2 are limited in the extension direction. Due to the restriction, the friction member 2 will not rotate relative to the sliding member 1. The friction member 2 is only allowed to slide relative to the sliding member 1 in the opening direction. Therefore, when the lever 4 continues to rotate around the fulcrum, it will drive the friction member 2 to slide in the direction away from the second abutment surface 2012, thereby disengaging from the second abutment surface 2012.

[0078] At this time, the friction caused by the sliding member 1 abutting against the first abutting surface 2011 and the fulcrum is greatly reduced compared to the friction caused by the sliding member 1 abutting against the first abutting surface 2011 and the friction member 2 abutting against the second abutting surface 2012. This allows the sliding member 1 to slide within the groove 201. Since the operating part 44 generates a force along the extension direction when it is lifted, the sliding member 1 can be driven to slide by continuing to apply force. When the user operates, only the force that lifts the operating part 44 is applied to the operating part 44 to ultimately drive the sliding member 1 to rise or fall. There is no need to apply two mutually perpendicular forces, which makes the operation more convenient.

[0079] When the force on the operating part 44 is released, that is, when the operating part 44 is no longer pulled, the reset member 3 drives the friction member 2 and the lever 4 to reset. Specifically, the reset member 3 pushes the friction member 2 to reset so that the friction member 2 abuts against the second contact surface 2012, and the sliding of the friction member 2 also drives the lever 4 to reset to the horizontal state.

[0080] Example 2:

[0081] In Embodiment 1, when the lever 4 and the friction element 2 are linked together, they have a relative movement relationship. One rotates while the other slides. When the lever 4 is pulled up, it causes the friction element 2 to slide, thereby causing the friction element 2 to disengage from the second contact surface 2012.

[0082] In this embodiment, lever 4 and friction element 2 are fixed together and move synchronously (they can be bonded together or molded as a single piece). Figure 12 When lever 4 is pulled, friction element 2 is also pulled (the two move synchronously and their positions are fixed), causing friction element 2 to disengage from the second abutment surface 2012. The portion of friction element 2 that abuts the second abutment surface 2012 is located between the first abutment portion 42 and the second abutment portion 43 along the extending direction, thus preventing interference and jamming when rotation continues at the fulcrum. Since both lever 4 and friction element 2 generate a force along the extending direction when operating part 44 is pulled, and friction element 2 also rotates, causing reset element 3 to store energy, this force can be transmitted to sliding element 1 via reset element 3. Therefore, continued application of force can drive sliding element 1 to slide. During operation, the user only needs to apply a force to operating part 44 to raise or lower sliding element 1, making operation more convenient. When the force on the operating part 44 is released, the reset member 3 drives the friction member 2 to rotate and reset, so that the friction member 2 abuts against the second contact surface 2012, and the friction member 2 also drives the lever 4 to reset to the horizontal state.

[0083] In this preferred embodiment, the friction member 2 and the sliding member 1 are provided with protrusions that face each other and are spaced apart from each other, and the reset member 3 is sleeved on the protrusions, so that the position of the reset member 3 is more stable.

[0084] In this embodiment, if the sliding member 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 12, there should be a gap between the friction member 2 and the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 12 to allow the friction member 2 to rotate out of the second abutment surface 2012.
