[0027] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figures 1-5The application discloses a damping-adjustable damping unit which is arranged on a component opposite to shaft I and in contact with shaft I to form friction damping, and comprises a shell 1 and a damping assembly arranged in the shell 1. The damping assembly comprises a plurality of damping sheets 2 (wherein the plurality of damping sheets 2 means two or more than two damping sheets 2), the damping sheet 2 is provided with a damping contact part 21 for being in contact with shaft I to form friction damping, the damping contact part 21 of the damping sheet 2 is provided with a pivot part 22 at one end and is pivotally arranged on the shell 1 through a pivot 3, the damping sheet 2 is divided into a positive damping sheet 2-1 and a reverse damping sheet 2-2 which are arranged in positive and reverse directions along the pivot 22 in a radial direction of the damping contact part 21, the damping contact part 21 of the positive damping sheet 2-1 and the damping contact part 21 of the reverse damping sheet 2-2 form an expandable and contractible clamping opening 4, the clamping opening 4 clamps shaft I to provide friction damping of the rotation of shaft I, the damping assembly further comprises a damping adjusting mechanism for driving the damping contact part 21 of the damping sheet 2 to swing around the pivot 3, the damping adjusting mechanism drives the positive damping sheet 2-1 and the reverse damping sheet 2-2 to swing synchronously to drive the clamping opening 4 to expand and contract, and the damping adjusting mechanism is provided with an adjusting operation end for operating the damping adjusting mechanism to drive the positive damping sheet 2-1 and the reverse damping sheet 2-2 to swing, so that the clamping force of the clamping opening 4 clamping shaft I is adjusted, that is, the damping force of the shaft is adjusted. Since the damping sheet is pivotally arranged on the shell and the damping contact part swings around the pivot, the clamping opening can be adjusted to expand and contract, that is, the clamping force of the clamping opening to shaft I is adjusted, that is, the friction damping force of the damping contact part to shaft I is adjusted; the damping unit adopting the damping sheet type can be flexibly adjusted in use, the damping adjustment can be made according to the operation of the equipment carrying the damping unit after the damping unit is assembled, and the use is more convenient. The damping of the shaft is realized through the clamping force of the damping sheet to the shaft, the damping sheet has a stable structure, and can provide greater strength and more stable damping.

[0028] The damping adjustable damping unit of the present application can be carried in the corresponding device as part of the corresponding device, that is, the shell is part of the shell of the corresponding device, and in order to make the adjustable damping unit more flexible, the damping unit preferably adopts an independent shell integrated damping assembly as a single accessory, and is designed to be detachable to facilitate users to select according to needs. The specific optimization design is as follows: the clamping opening 4 has a shaft radial buckle opening 41 opposite to the pivot part 22 and for the shaft I to enter and exit the clamping opening 4 along the radial direction, that is, the clamping opening has a shaft radial buckle opening, which can be buckled on the shaft or the clamping opening is out of the shaft along the radial direction of the shaft when the clamping opening is expanded to a certain extent. The shell 1 is provided with a fastening mounting part 11 for fixing and mounting the damping unit to the corresponding device, and in the specific embodiment, the fastening mounting part 11 is a mounting ear with a screw connection hole. The shell 1 also has a lateral avoiding opening 12 corresponding to the position of the shaft radial buckle opening 41 for the shaft radial buckle opening 41 to expose the shell 1. On the basis of adjustable damping piece formed clamping opening, further optimization design can be carried out to achieve damping unit accessory (or modular) design to achieve independent disassembly. When the damping unit is disassembled, the required damping demand can be ignored. After assembly is completed, the damping is adjusted to the required size, which is more flexible and convenient to use. Or the damping unit can have a structure for disassembly along the axis of the shaft. The clamping opening 4 has an axial port 42 for the shaft I to enter and exit the clamping opening 4 along the axial direction after expansion. The shell 1 is provided with an axial avoiding opening 14 corresponding to the axial port 42 of the clamping opening 4 for the axial port 42 of the clamping opening 4 to expose the shell 1. Of course, in some application occasions, only the axial avoiding opening 14 can be reserved to realize the structure design of the damping unit disassembled along the axis of the shaft.

[0029] The damping adjusting mechanism comprises a clamping opening pop-open member 51 mounted on the shell 1 and abutting against the damping sheet 2 and providing the elastic driving force required for driving the damping sheet 2 to swing to constitute the expansion movement of the clamping opening 4, and a damping holding assembly comprising a pushing member 52 movably fitted on the shell 1 and lockable on the shell 1, the pushing member 52 having a first abutting portion 521 abutting against the forward damping sheet 2-1 and a second abutting portion 522 abutting against the reverse damping sheet 2-2, the forward damping sheet 2-1 being driven by the clamping opening pop-open member 51 to abut against the first abutting portion 521, the reverse damping sheet 2-2 being driven by the clamping opening pop-open member to abut against the second abutting portion 522, the pushing member 52 driving the forward damping sheet 2-1 and the reverse damping sheet 2-2 to swing synchronously via the first abutting portion 521 and the second abutting portion 522, the pushing member 52 applying force to the forward damping sheet and the reverse damping sheet via the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion, so as to achieve the synchronous action of the forward damping sheet and the reverse damping sheet, and the expansion and contraction of the clamping opening are completed under the synchronous action, and the adjusting operation end drives the pushing member 52. The clamping opening pop-open member provides the elastic pop-open force of the expansion of the clamping opening, the adjusting operation end drives the pushing member to act, and cooperates with the elastic driving force of the clamping opening pop-open member, so as to achieve the control of the swing of the forward damping sheet and the reverse damping sheet to realize the folding and expansion of the clamping opening 4, thereby realizing the adjustment of the damping force, the pushing member can be locked on the shell, the position of the damping sheet is kept, that is, after the damping adjustment is completed, the damping force is maintained in the state after the adjustment is completed, and the damping adjusting mechanism has the advantages of simple structure and stable and reliable adjustment. The force in one rotation direction of the damping sheet rotating around the pivot (corresponding to the opening of the clamping opening 4) depends on the elastic force (provided by the clamping opening pop-open member 51), and the action corresponding to the control of the folding of the clamping opening 4 is realized by the active pushing of the damping sheet by the pushing member, so as to achieve the control of the damping force of the damping sheet on the shaft, and after the pushing member is locked on the shell, the damping force is stably maintained. Under the guidance of the essential spirit of the present application, the mechanism for driving the damping sheet to reciprocate can also be realized by directly hingedly connecting the movable member and the damping member, but the hinge has the defects of complex structure, variable assembly operation and insufficient structural stability.

[0030] Further, the push member 52 is slidingly fitted on the housing 1, a guide structure (such as a groove or a raised track or the like) is arranged on the housing 1 to guide the push member 52, the adjusting operation end comprises an adjusting screw 53, a threaded hole seat 13 is arranged on the housing 1, the adjusting screw 52 is threadedly fitted on the threaded hole of the threaded hole seat 13, and the adjusting screw 52 abuts against the push member 52. Rotating the adjusting screw, the adjusting screw moves axially under the guidance of the threaded hole of the threaded hole seat, and since the damping sheet abuts against the push member under the elastic driving of the clamping opening elastic opening member 51, the push member can slide with the movement of the adjusting screw, and damping adjustment is realized. Under this structure, the adjusting screw can be used to drive the push member, and has self-locking function, and has the advantages of simple and compact structure and convenient use; and the adjusting precision can be better controlled through the threaded cooperation of the adjusting screw. Therefore, those skilled in the art can think that the push member can adopt an independent locking structure, such as a pressing screw pressing on the push member 53; as shown in the figure, the push member 52 can also adopt a cam rotatingly fitted on the housing, the cam surface of the cam is in top pushing cooperation with the damping sheet, and the cam is rotated to control the convergence and expansion of the clamping opening 4. Figure 10

[0031] ​In order to facilitate the installation and arrangement of the damping adjusting mechanism, the damping piece 2 further comprises a driving arm 23, the driving arm 23 and the damping contact part 21 are respectively arranged at both ends of the pivot joint part 22, the driving arm 23 extends away from the damping contact part 21, the driving arm of the positive damping piece 2-1 and the driving arm of the reverse damping piece 2-2 are oppositely arranged, and the interval opening 6 is formed between the driving arm of the positive damping piece 2-1 and the driving arm of the reverse damping piece 2-2, the driving arm and the damping contact part 21 of the same damping piece 2 are located on the same side of the transverse direction of the pivot joint part 22, so that the clamping opening 4 is in the closing action when the interval opening 6 is expanded, the pushing piece 52 is a slider with a wedge-shaped part 52-1, two inclined surfaces of the wedge-shaped part 52-1 respectively form the first abutting part 521 and the second abutting part 522, and the wedge-shaped part 52-1 is correspondingly matched in the interval opening 6. That is, the wedge-shaped part of the slider is wedged in the interval opening, and with the movement of the slider, the positive damping piece and the reverse damping piece are pushed to open the interval opening, and at the same time, the clamping opening is closed to tightly hold the shaft. The structure is simple and stable. In addition, the clamping opening opening member 51 comprises a first spring piece 51-1 and a second spring piece 51-2, one end of the first spring piece 51-1 and the second spring piece 51-2 is fixed on the shell 1, an insertion slot is arranged on the shell 1, one end of the first spring piece 51-1 and the second spring piece 51-2 is inserted into the insertion slot, the driving arm 23 of the damping piece 2 is clamped between the first spring piece 51-1 and the second spring piece 51-2, the first spring piece 51-1 is in abutting cooperation with the driving arm of the positive damping piece 2-1 away from one side of the interval opening 6, and the second spring piece 51-2 is in abutting cooperation with the driving arm of the reverse damping piece 2-2 away from one side of the interval opening 6; all the positive damping pieces are in abutting cooperation on the same first spring piece, and all the reverse damping pieces are in abutting cooperation on the same second spring piece. When the second spring piece and the driving arm of the positive damping piece are away from each other, the driving arm of the second spring piece presses the first spring piece, the first spring piece is deformed to form an elastic force, and the second spring piece is deformed to form an elastic force in the same way. The function of the clamping opening opening member is to provide an elastic driving force for the swing of the damping piece, so in addition to the spring piece design, a helical spring or a torsional spring can also be used, but the spring piece design has the advantages of simple and compact structure and easy installation.

[0032] In order to make the damping piece hold the shaft more stably and reliably, the positive damping piece 2-1 and the reverse damping piece 2-2 are arranged in turn to balance the force applied by the damping piece to the shaft.

[0033] In order to ensure the contact area of the damping contact part with the shaft, so as to ensure that the damping piece provides stable and reliable damping force, the damping contact part preferably adopts the common circular arc shape in the prior art, the damping contact part 21 corresponding to the wall 211 in the clamping opening 4 is a concave arc (so as to better adapt to the circumferential surface of the shaft), of course, as easily thought by those skilled in the art: the wall corresponding to the damping contact part in the clamping opening can also be a plane, and the contact with the shaft is linear contact.
