[0018] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the two-color shoelace knob of the utility model comprises a base 1, an intermediate seat 2 fixed in the base 1, a wire drum 3 rotatably arranged in the intermediate seat 2, and a rotary cover 4 rotatably and pluggably arranged at the upper end of the base 1. The intermediate seat 2 is connected to the base 1 through a hook at the bottom. The rotary cover 4 drives the wire drum 3 to rotate through a gear mechanism, and limits its unidirectional rotation through a ratchet mechanism, and a wire hole 5 is provided on the intermediate seat 2. The rotary cover 4 is composed of an inner rotary cover 6 and an outer rotary cover 7 sleeved outside the inner rotary cover 6. The gear mechanism includes an outer gear 8 integrally formed at the upper end of the wire drum 3 and an inner gear 10 integrally formed on a toothed disc 9, and the ratchet mechanism includes an inner ratchet 11 integrally formed at the upper end of the intermediate seat 2 and a group of circumferentially arranged ratchets 12 integrally formed on the toothed disc 9. The ratchets 12 are ideally three. The end surface of the toothed disc 9 is provided with a group of riveting holes 13, the side wall of the toothed disc 9 is provided with a group of hanging grooves 14, and the inner rotary cover 6 is provided with a riveting column 15 riveted with the riveting holes 13 and a first hook 16 hanging with the hanging groove 14. After assembly, when the rotary cover 4 is pressed down and inserted with force, the outer gear 8 is engaged with the inner gear 10 and the inner ratchet 11 is engaged with the pawl 12. At this time, the rotary cover 4 drives the wire drum 3 to rotate in one direction, thereby tightening the shoelaces on the wire drum 3. When the rotary cover 4 is pulled out with force, the outer gear 8 is separated from the inner gear 10 and the inner ratchet 11 is separated from the pawl 1. At this time, the wire drum 3 can be reversed, thereby loosening the shoelaces on the wire drum 3.

[0019] Preferably, the inner rotating cover 6 is hooked and matched with the flange (18) on the top of the middle seat 2 through the second hook 17 at the bottom, so as to be used for positioning the inner rotating cover 6 after it is inserted and pulled into place. The toothed disc 9 is connected to the shaft hole 20 at the center of the wire drum 3 through the central integrally formed rotating shaft 19, so as to be used for center positioning of the toothed disc 9 and the inner rotating cover 6. A buckle 21 is provided at the bottom of the rotating shaft 19, and a clamping rib 22 that cooperates with the buckle 21 is provided in the shaft hole 20. The buckle 21 cooperates with the clamping rib 22 to position the inner rotating cover 6 after it is inserted and pulled into place, and a "pop" sound can be made during the insertion and removal process, so that the user can judge whether it is inserted and pulled into place and improve the hand feel.

[0020] Preferably, the end surface of the inner rotating cover 6 is provided with a middle positioning protrusion 23 and an edge positioning protrusion 24 arranged around the middle positioning protrusion 23, and the outer rotating cover 7 is provided with a middle positioning hole 25 adapted to the middle positioning protrusion 23 and an edge positioning hole 26 adapted to the edge positioning protrusion 24, so as to further improve the stability and aesthetics of the connection between the inner rotating cover 6 and the outer rotating cover 7.

[0021] Preferably, the inner cover 6 is connected to the hanging groove 28 on the inner wall of the outer cover 7 through the third hook 27 on the outer wall. The outer wall of the inner cover 6 is provided with a positioning rib 29, and the inner wall of the outer cover 7 is provided with a positioning groove 30. This facilitates the connection between the inner cover 6 and the outer cover 7 and increases the stability of the connection.

[0022] Preferably, the side wall of the outer rotating cover 7 is provided with anti-skid ribs 31 to play an anti-skid role.

[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
