Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of luggage cases, in particular to a noiseless caster. Background Art
[0002] Luggage, also known as travel suitcase or trolley case, is a type of luggage that is used to carry items when going out. Luggage can also be divided into hard-shell luggage and soft-shell luggage based on the outer shell. Hard-shell luggage is more resistant to falling and is suitable for luggage that needs more protection. Soft-shell luggage is usually lighter than hard-shell luggage and is made of more flexible material. However, the zipper of a soft-shell luggage is more likely to burst due to too many items inside.
[0003] Luggage cases can usually be transported in a portable manner because they are usually equipped with corresponding casters for walking. In order to reduce the noise as much as possible during walking on the road, most existing casters are covered with TPR rubber sleeves to achieve better noise reduction and silencing.
[0004] However, in actual application, it is found that most of the casters on some suitcases have universal functions and braking functions, but most of the universal functions cannot be directional. This results in that after the casters are braked, the casters can still rotate freely, so the braking effect on the suitcase itself is poor, especially when the ground is tilted. It is necessary to brake multiple casters one by one in sequence before the suitcase itself can be effectively stationary, which makes the operation more cumbersome.
[0005] Therefore, we have made improvements on this and proposed a noiseless caster. Utility Model Content
[0006] The utility model aims to provide a noiseless caster, which solves the problem that the existing noiseless casters have poor braking effect when in use.

[0012] A universal unit, which is arranged inside the bearing seat and is used to rotate and position the connecting shaft;
[0013] The execution unit is used to synchronously drive the brake unit and the universal unit to brake.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the brake unit includes a brake disc slidably arranged on the inner side of the support frame and a brake pad fixed to the bottom of the brake disc;
[0015] Among them, springs connected to the inner wall of the support frame are fixed on both sides of the bottom of the brake disc, and a resistance and limiting protrusion is also provided below the brake disc.
[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the universal unit comprises an upper brake pad and a lower brake pad which are jointly sleeved on a connecting shaft and slidably arranged thereon;
[0017] The upper brake pad is slidably arranged on the inner side of the bearing seat, and the lower brake pad is fixed on the connecting shaft.
[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the universal unit also includes two springs arranged on both sides of the top of the upper brake pad and fixed to the side walls of the bearing seat, and the side walls of the bearing seat are also provided with two abutment limiting protrusions.

[0044] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the present embodiment proposes a noiseless caster, comprising a wheel body 1 and a TPR silent rubber sleeve 10 sleeved on the surface of the wheel body 1. By setting the TPR silent rubber sleeve 10 on the wheel body 1, the noise reduction effect of the caster when it contacts the ground during walking is effectively improved. The wheel body 1 has a wheel axle 11 for connecting to a support frame 12. The wheel body 1 can rotate freely on the inner side of the support frame 12 through the action of the wheel axle 11 to meet its actual mobile use needs. It also includes: a bearing seat 13, which is arranged on the top of the support frame 12, a connecting shaft 14, which is fixed to the top of the support frame 12 and movably assembled with the bearing seat 13 through a bearing; a brake unit 2, which is arranged on the inner side of the support frame 12 for braking the wheel body 1; a universal unit 3, which is arranged inside the bearing seat 13 for rotationally positioning the connecting shaft 14; an execution unit 4, which is used to synchronously drive the brake unit 2 and the universal unit 3 for braking;
[0045] The brake unit 2 includes a brake disc 21 slidably arranged on the inner side of the support frame 12 and a brake pad 22 fixed to the bottom of the brake disc 21, wherein springs 23 connected to the inner wall of the support frame 12 are fixed on both sides of the bottom of the brake disc 21, and a resisting limit convex particle 24 is also provided below the brake disc 21. The brake pad 22 on the brake disc 21 is supported by the spring 23. Figure 4 The wheel body 1 shown below corresponding to the wheel body has a certain height gap;
[0046] The universal unit 3 includes an upper brake pad 31 and a lower brake pad 32 which are sleeved together and slidably mounted on the connecting shaft 14, wherein the upper brake pad 31 is slidably mounted on the inner side of the bearing seat 13, and the lower brake pad 32 is fixed on the connecting shaft 14;
[0047] The universal unit 3 further includes springs 33 disposed on both sides of the top of the upper brake pad 31 and fixed to the side wall of the bearing seat 13. The side wall of the bearing seat 13 is also provided with a second contact limiting convex particle 34. Through the support of the springs 33, the upper brake pad 31 has a certain height gap with the lower brake pad 32 in a natural state. When the upper brake pad 31 and the lower brake pad 32 contact each other, the wheel body 1 can be limited and fixed in the axial direction.
[0048] A pedal 1 25 is fixed on the brake disc 21, and a pedal 2 35 is fixed on the upper brake pad 31. The pedal 2 35 has a platform 1 350 and a platform 2 351;
[0049] The execution unit 4 includes a driving ring 40 sleeved on the outer periphery of the bearing seat 13 and a side frame 41 connected to both sides of the driving ring 40 and slidably assembled with the outer side of the support frame 12. The driving ring 40 is located above the platform 1 350 and the pedal 1 25.
[0050] By stepping on the pedal 1 25, the brake disc 21 thereon is moved toward the direction of the wheel body 1, so that the brake disc 21 and the brake pad 22 thereon are closely attached to the surface of the wheel body 1. During the movement of the brake disc 21, the spring 1 23 thereon is also compressed synchronously. When the brake pad 22 contacts the surface of the wheel body 1, the two sides of the brake disc 21 contact with the corresponding contact limiting protrusion 1 24, so that the contact limiting protrusion 1 24 forms a limiting effect on the brake disc 21 after braking. At this time, the relative contact force between the contact limiting protrusion 1 24 and the brake disc 21 can overcome the elastic force of the spring 1 23 to form a stable limiting effect.
[0051] By stepping on the second pedal 35, the upper brake pad 31 thereon slides toward the direction of the lower brake pad 32, so that the upper brake pad 31 and the lower brake pad 32 are in close contact with each other, thereby forming a limiting effect on the wheel body 1, so that it can no longer perform universal rotation. Similar to the brake unit 2, when forming a limiting effect, the second contact limiting protrusion 34 also forms a conflict with the outer side of the corresponding upper brake pad 31, and overcomes the elastic force of the second spring 33 to ensure the axial position of the wheel body 1.
[0052] When the position of the caster installed on the suitcase needs to be limited, the driving ring 40 can be directly stepped on to synchronously drive the pedal 1 25 and the pedal 2 35 to slide, thereby limiting the sliding of the wheel body 1 and limiting the axial rotation of the wheel body 1, further ensuring the stability of the suitcase after positioning, and facilitating the actual operation of the user.
[0053] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above specific implementation methods. Therefore, any modification or equivalent replacement of the present invention; and all technical solutions and improvements thereof that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention are included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
