The inner sleeve is welded to the base plate and riveted through the outer sleeve by a new riveting method at the steering part. When the caster is subjected to a large impact force, the track can be kept from deforming. In the process of implementing this solution, it was found that the following problems exist in the prior art and have not been well solved: the above-mentioned device reduces the deformation of the track by riveting and welding, but the caster is a fixed structure as a whole, which leads to the caster vibrating and becoming loose due to the extrusion of the gravity of the objects on the caster and the potholes on the road after a long period of use, which makes the caster easy to be damaged. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to improve the above-mentioned problem of reducing the deformation of the track by riveting and welding, but the caster as a whole is a fixed structure, which leads to the caster becoming loose after being used for a long time due to the squeezing of the gravity of the objects on the caster, and then the caster is easily damaged. The utility model provides a low-center-of-gravity and high-load-bearing caster with a buffer structure.

[0005] The utility model provides a low-center-of-gravity, high-load-bearing caster with a buffer structure, which adopts the following technical solutions:

When the moving wheel moves to the pothole, the moving wheel and the C-shaped frame move downward through the first compression spring and the second compression spring, so that the lower side of the moving wheel contacts the inside of the pothole, thereby buffering the vibration generated by the moving wheel when transporting objects and reducing the possibility of damage to the moving wheel.

[0023] By stretching the C-shaped rod forward, the two vertical rods of the C-shaped rod are moved out of the two slots, the fixation of the round rod is released, the moving wheel is moved out from the side of the round rod, and the round rod is slid out from the inside of the two vertical plates of the C-shaped frame, so that the moving wheel can be quickly cleaned and replaced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 The utility model is described in further detail.

[0030] Please refer to the attached figure in the instruction manual Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The utility model provides an embodiment: a low-center-of-gravity, high-load caster with a buffer structure, comprising a C-shaped frame 1, a C-shaped block 2 is slidably connected to the top of the C-shaped frame 1, and the sides of the two vertical blocks of the C-shaped block 2 are fixedly connected to a moving bar 3, and the left and right sides of the two vertical plates of the C-shaped frame 1 are both provided with a moving groove 4, and the inside of the moving groove 4 is slidably connected to the side of the moving bar 3;

[0031] Round rods 5 are movably inserted into the side surfaces of the two vertical plates of the C-shaped frame 1 , and moving wheels 6 are movably sleeved into the side surfaces of the round rods 5 . A limiting member 7 is movably inserted into the front side of the C-shaped frame 1 .

[0032] See the attached drawings in the specification Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bottom of the horizontal plate of the C-shaped block 2 is fixedly connected with a first compression spring 201, and the bottom end of the first compression spring 201 is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate of the C-shaped frame 1. The bottom of the movable bar 3 is fixedly connected with two second compression springs 301, and the bottom end of the second compression spring 301 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the movable groove 4. The first compression spring 201 and the second compression spring 301 are supported, which reduces the possibility of the C-shaped block 2 moving downward to squeeze the C-shaped frame 1 and damage the C-shaped frame 1.

[0033] See the attached drawings in the specification Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bottom of the horizontal block of the C-shaped block 2 is fixedly connected with two limit bars 202, and the top of the horizontal plate of the C-shaped frame 1 is provided with a rectangular groove 101 that matches the two limit bars 202. The side of the limit bar 202 is slidably connected with the inside of the rectangular groove 101. By setting the two limit bars 202, the two limit bars 202 can be driven to move downward when the C-shaped block 2 moves downward, thereby enabling the C-shaped block 2 to move vertically downward.

[0034] See the attached drawings in the specification Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3, the limiting member 7C-shaped rod 701, the C-shaped rod 701 is movably inserted in the front side of the C-shaped frame 1, the rear side of the cross bar of the C-shaped rod 701 is fixedly connected with two tension springs 702, one end of the tension spring 702 is fixedly connected with the front side of the two vertical plates of the C-shaped frame 1, and the front side of the round rod 5 is provided with a slot 703 that matches the two vertical rods of the C-shaped rod 701. By stretching the C-shaped rod 701 forward, the two vertical rods of the C-shaped rod 701 can be moved out from the inside of the two slots 703, thereby releasing the fixation of the round rod 5.

[0035] See the attached drawings in the specification Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A connecting groove 103 is provided at the top of the C-shaped frame 1, and a connecting rod 104 is rotatably connected inside the connecting groove 103. A bearing 102 is fixedly sleeved on the side of the connecting rod 104. The outer ring of the bearing 102 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting groove 103. The bearing 102 reduces the friction force generated when the connecting rod 104 rotates inside the connecting groove 103.

[0038] Working principle: When using the low-center-of-gravity and high-load caster with a buffer structure, when transporting objects, the gravity on the moving wheel 6 applies a downward squeezing force to the fixed plate 105, so that the fixed plate 105 drives the C-shaped block 2 to move downward, and at the same time compresses the first compression spring 201 and the second compression spring 301. When the moving wheel moves to the pothole and the lower side of the caster is in a suspended state, the moving wheel 6 and the C-shaped frame 1 move downward through the rebound force of the first compression spring 201 and the second compression spring 301, so that the lower side of the moving wheel 6 contacts the inside of the pothole, thereby buffering the vibration generated by the moving wheel 6 when transporting objects, reducing the possibility of damage to the moving wheel 6.

[0039] By stretching the C-shaped rod 701 forward, the two vertical rods of the C-shaped rod 701 are moved out from the inside of the two slots 703 respectively, thereby releasing the fixation of the round rod 5, and then the moving wheel 6 is moved out from the side of the round rod 5, and the round rod 5 is slid out from the inside of the two vertical plates of the C-shaped frame 1, so that the moving wheel 6 can be quickly cleaned and replaced.
