DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model provides a roller assembly for a garage door, comprising a connecting shaft 1, a connecting sleeve 2 is sleeved on the surface of one end of the connecting shaft 1, an inner ring 3 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting sleeve 2, an outer ring 4 is sleeved on the surface of the inner ring 3, a plurality of rollers 5 are arranged uniformly in a ring shape and are all rollingly connected to the outer ring 4, a snap ring 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the outer ring 4, a wheel body 7 is sleeved on the surface of the snap ring 6, a cavity 8 is provided on the surface of the wheel body 7, a spring 9 is fixedly connected inside the cavity 8, a positioning column 10 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 9, a rubber sleeve 11 is sleeved on the surface of the wheel body 7, a positioning hole 12 is provided on the surface of the rubber sleeve 11, and the positioning hole 12 is clamped with the positioning column 10.

[0022] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 A threaded hole 13 is provided on the surface of the wheel body 7 , a fixing hole 14 is provided on the surface of the retaining ring 6 , a bolt 15 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded hole 13 , and the other end of the bolt 15 is threadedly connected to the fixing hole 14 .

[0023] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, the threaded hole 13, the fixing hole 14 and the bolt 15 are provided to improve the connection effect between the retaining ring 6 and the wheel body 7, thereby preventing the retaining ring 6 from being worn due to the autonomous rotation of the wheel body 7.

[0024] refer to Figure 3 A retainer 16 is provided between the inner ring 3 and the outer ring 4 , and the retainer 16 is used in conjunction with the roller 5 .

[0025] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, the retainer 16 is provided to restrict the rollers 5 to avoid mutual collisions that would shorten their service life, thereby extending the service life of the rollers 5.

[0026] refer to Figure 2 The number of cavities 8, springs 9, positioning columns 10 and positioning holes 12 is eight, and the eight cavities 8, springs 9, positioning columns 10 and positioning holes 12 are evenly arranged in a ring-like shape in groups of four by four.

[0027] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, by setting eight cavities 8, springs 9, positioning columns 10 and positioning holes 12, the rubber sleeve 11 can be positioned at multiple positions, thereby enhancing the positioning effect of the rubber sleeve 11.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 One end of the positioning column 10 away from the spring 9 is fixedly connected with a protruding column 17 .

[0029] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, the protruding column 17 is provided to prevent the positioning column 10 from being separated from the positioning hole 12 .

[0030] refer to Figure 4 , the cross-sectional area of ​​the protruding column 17 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the positioning hole 12 .

[0031] As a technical optimization solution of the utility model, by setting the cross-sectional area of ​​the protruding column 17 larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the positioning hole 12, the elastic property of the rubber sleeve 11 can be utilized to enable the positioning hole 12 to pass through the protruding column 17, thereby achieving the effect of clamping it.

[0032] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows: when the roller assembly is used, the device is first installed into the external integrated door body track, so that the rubber sleeve 11 on the wheel body 7 fits with the garage door on the external integrated door body track. When the garage door is recovered or lowered, the garage door fits on one side of the wheel body 7 and rolls. The rubber sleeve 11 rotates with the movement of the garage door, and can drive the wheel body 7 and the snap ring 6 to rotate, so that the outer ring 4 can rotate through the roller 5 on the retainer 16. At this time, the spring 9 gives the positioning column 10 an inward pulling force, so that the positioning column 10 and the positioning hole 12 can position the rubber sleeve 11, which can prevent the rubber sleeve 11 from rotating on the wheel body 7, and the raised column 17 can prevent the positioning column 10 from being separated from the positioning hole 12, so that the rubber sleeve 11 can be firmly fixed on the surface of the wheel body 7, thereby preventing the rubber sleeve 11 from loosening during long-term use.
