Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical transmission structures, and in particular to a ratchet retraction structure. Background Art
[0002] In the field of mechanical transmission and control, the ratchet structure, as an important intermittent motion mechanism, is widely used in various mechanical equipment, such as jacks, bicycle flywheels, clocks, and automated production lines. Its core function is to achieve unidirectional intermittent rotation and effectively prevent reverse motion, providing a key guarantee for the stable operation and precise control of the mechanical system.
[0003] However, most existing ratchet structures only allow one-way movement and cannot perform reverse retraction operations, which can easily cause many inconveniences in practical applications and limit the improvement of the performance of related mechanical equipment and the expansion of application fields.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a ratchet retraction structure to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

When the tail end of the lever rotates, it can push the tail end of the pressure rod, causing the pressure rod to rotate around its central axis. At this time, the head end of the pressure rod will push the protrusion toward the center of the rotating plate, so that the head end of the slider is disengaged from the tooth groove of the ratchet. At this time, the rotating rod can rotate counterclockwise. When the rotating rod rotates, the rotating plate is driven to rotate together with the help of the No. 1 cylinder, thereby realizing the retraction operation.
[0007] Preferably, the middle portion of the rotating rod is a disc-shaped structure, and both ends of the rotating rod are long rod-shaped structures.
[0008] The two ends of the long rod are convenient for the operator to hold and rotate during the retraction operation.
[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the installation groove is provided with four positioning grooves distributed in a circular array, the outer surface of the ratchet is fixedly connected with four positioning blocks distributed in a circular array, and the four positioning blocks are respectively engaged with the four positioning grooves.
[0010] The ratchet and the base are precisely fixed axially by the four positioning grooves and the four positioning blocks, preventing the ratchet from shifting during the retraction process.
[0011] Preferably, a No. 2 cylinder is fixedly connected to the inside of the No. 2 sinking trough, and a No. 3 cylinder is fixedly connected to the surface of the pressure rod near its tail end. A tension spring is installed between the No. 2 cylinder and the No. 3 cylinder, and the elastic force of the tension spring is used to realize the reset operation of the pressure rod.
[0012] Preferably, the No. 2 cylinder, the No. 3 cylinder and the tension spring do not contact the shift rod, and the tail end of the pressure rod is pulled by the tension spring in the initial state, so that the head end of the pressure rod does not contact the protrusion, thereby avoiding affecting the normal movement of the slider.
[0013] Preferably, an accommodating hole is opened on the inner wall of one side of the upper groove, and a guide rod is slidably connected to the inside of the accommodating hole. One end of the guide rod extends to the outside of the accommodating hole and is fixedly connected to the tail end of the slider.
[0014] The guide rod slides in the receiving hole to provide a linear motion guide for the slider and prevent it from escaping from the upper groove.
[0015] Preferably, a spring is movably sleeved on the outer side of the guide rod, one end of the spring abuts against the inner wall of the upper groove, and the other end of the spring abuts against the tail end of the slider, and the elastic force of the spring is used to realize the reset operation of the slider.
[0016] After the slider loses the squeezing of the pressure rod, the spring resumes its extension and pushes the slider back to its original position, so that the end of the slider is re-embedded in the tooth groove of the ratchet, restoring the one-way locking function.
[0017] Preferably, the lever housing is arranged outside the rotating rod, a sliding groove is opened on the side wall of the second sinking groove, and the part of the rear end of the lever close to the lever housing is slidably connected to the sliding groove.
[0018] The slide groove design provides a precise sliding path for the tail end of the lever, ensuring stable rotation of the lever.
[0019] Preferably, the surface of the lever housing is provided with anti-skid patterns, and the lever housing can slide against the outer surface of the rotating rod.
[0020] The anti-slip texture on the surface of the lever housing can increase friction, making it easier for the operator to push.
[0021] Preferably, a notch is provided on the surface of the rotating rod, the notch is communicated with the slide groove, and the notch matches the shifting rod.
[0022] The notch design makes it easy to disassemble the lever when maintaining the device.
[0023] In the above technical solution, the technical effects and advantages provided by the present invention are: 1. The linkage design of the lever, pressure rod, and slider overcomes the limitation of the traditional ratchet structure that it can only move in one direction. By pushing the lever housing to rotate the lever, the pressure rod rotates around the central axis, causing the pressure rod head to push the slider protrusion toward the center of the rotating plate, driving the slider head out of the ratchet tooth groove, thereby releasing the one-way lock. The rotary rod can now rotate counterclockwise and, through the No. 1 cylinder, drive the rotating plate to retract synchronously, realizing the reverse retraction function of the ratchet structure. 2. The dual reset system design of a tension spring and a spring automatically pulls the pressure rod back to its original position after the lever is released, preventing the tip of the pressure rod from continuously squeezing the protrusion. After the slider loses the pressure of the pressure rod, the spring resumes its extension and pushes the slider back to its original position, allowing the tip of the slider to re-engage the tooth groove of the ratchet to restore the one-way lock. This design ensures that the structure can automatically return to its initial stable state after the retraction operation is completed, thereby improving the reliability of the mechanical system.

[0030] Working principle of the present invention: Refer to the instruction manual Figure 1-11 When performing the retraction operation, first, the operator manually pushes the lever housing 18 to slide against the outer surface of the rotary rod 4, thereby driving the lever 6 to move. The head end of the lever 6 rotates around the second sleeve 10. When the tail end of the lever 6 rotates, it pushes the tail end of the pressure rod 5, causing the pressure rod 5 to rotate around its axis. The head end of the pressure rod 5 presses the protrusion 13, causing the protrusion 13 to move along the through groove 17 toward the center of the rotary plate 2, thereby driving the slider 7 to slide along the upper groove 11 toward the center of the rotary plate 2, so that the head end of the slider 7 is disengaged from the tooth groove of the ratchet 3. At this time, the tension spring 23 is in a stretched state and the spring 25 is in a compressed state. At this time, the one-way locking state is released, and the rotary rod 4 can rotate in the counterclockwise direction. Since the No. 1 cylinder 14 on the back of the rotary rod 4 is inserted into the lower groove 12 of the rotary plate 2, when the rotary rod 4 rotates, the No. 1 cylinder 14 can drive the rotary plate 2 to rotate together, thereby realizing the retraction operation; After the retraction operation is completed, the lever housing 18 is released, the tension spring 23 begins to retract and pulls the pressure rod 5, so that the pressure rod 5 returns to its original position. The protrusion 13 is no longer squeezed by the pressure rod 5, and the spring 25 begins to extend outward and push the slider 7 back to its original position, so that the head end of the slider 7 is re-matched with the tooth groove of the ratchet 3, and the one-way locking function is restored.
