Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of spherical processing, and particularly relates to a spherical waxing mechanism. Background Art

[0002] After some existing spheres (such as billiard balls) are used for a long time, their surfaces will become rough, affecting the use effect, and generally they are directly scrapped, which undoubtedly increases the use cost. There are also some polishing machines for billiard balls that can polish and wax the surfaces of billiard balls. However, in order to ensure the uniformity during waxing, the waxing mechanism of such polishing machines needs to continuously drive the waxing roller to rotate when waxing, so a driving motor needs to be set for the waxing mechanism, resulting in a complex structure and a high manufacturing cost. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] Aiming at the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a spherical waxing mechanism with a simple structure, convenient use, and capable of ensuring the waxing uniformity.

[0004] The utility model is realized as follows:

[0005] A spherical waxing mechanism includes a waxing roller and a waxing roller drive capable of driving the waxing roller to move. The waxing roller drive includes a support plate, a cylinder, a deflection arm, a support arm, a rotating shaft, an upper fork, a lower fork and a ratchet. The bottom end of the deflection arm is rotatably connected to the support plate, the bottom end of the cylinder is rotatably connected to the support plate, the top end of the cylinder is connected to the top end of the deflection arm, and the cylinder can drive the deflection arm to turn up and down. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the top end of the deflection arm, the waxing roller is fixed on the rotating shaft, the ratchet is fixed at one end of the rotating shaft, the support arm is fixed on the support plate, one end of the upper fork is rotatably connected to the support arm, and the other end has a hook capable of meshing with the inclined teeth of the ratchet. The middle part of the upper fork is elastically connected to the support arm through a first tension spring. One end of the lower fork is rotatably connected to the deflection arm, and the other end has a hook capable of meshing with the inclined teeth of the ratchet. The middle part of the lower fork is elastically connected to the deflection arm through a second tension spring.

[0006] In order to be able to wax multiple spheres simultaneously, a plurality of waxing rollers are evenly distributed on the rotating shaft.

[0007] In order to facilitate driving the deflection arm to deflect, the bottom end of the deflection arm is rotatably connected to the support plate through a first bearing; further, the bottom end of the cylinder is rotatably connected to the support plate through a first pin shaft.

[0008] In order to facilitate the axial rotation of the rotating shaft, one end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the deflection arm through a second bearing.

[0009] In order to facilitate the rotation of the upper fork, one end of the upper fork is rotatably connected to the support arm through a second pin shaft, and the end of the first tension spring far from the upper fork is fixed to the support arm through a pin.

[0010] To facilitate the rotation of the lower fork, one end of the lower fork is rotatably connected to the swing arm through a third pin shaft, and the end of the second tension spring away from the lower fork is fixed to the support arm through a pin.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0012] The spherical waxing mechanism cooperates with components such as a cylinder, a deflecting arm, a rotating shaft, an upper fork, a lower fork, a ratchet, and a tension spring. During the lifting process of the rotating shaft, it can automatically rotate the waxing roller by a certain angle to ensure the uniformity of subsequent waxing, eliminating related transmission structures such as motors, and greatly reducing the production cost and assembly cost. Description of the Drawings

[0013] Figure 1 is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the spherical waxing mechanism of the present utility model;

[0014] Figure 2 is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the spherical waxing mechanism of the present utility model in another direction. Detailed Embodiment

[0015] To further understand the content, features, and effects of the present utility model, the following embodiments are cited and described in detail in conjunction with the drawings as follows.

[0016] The structure of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0017] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, a spherical waxing mechanism includes a waxing roller 1 and a waxing roller drive capable of driving the waxing roller 1 to move;

[0018] Specifically, the waxing roller drive includes a support plate 4, a cylinder 2, a deflection arm 3, a support arm 5, a rotating shaft 6, an upper fork 8, a lower fork 10, and a ratchet 7. The bottom end of the deflection arm 3 is rotatably connected to the support plate 4 through a first bearing 16. The bottom end of the cylinder 2 is rotatably connected to the support plate 4 through a first pin shaft. The top end of the cylinder 2 is connected to the top end of the deflection arm 3 through a connecting rod 18. The cylinder 2 can drive the deflection arm 3 to flip up and down. One end of the rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the top end of the deflection arm 3 through a second bearing 17. There are multiple waxing rollers 1 evenly distributed on the rotating shaft 6. The ratchet 7 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 6. The support arm 5 is fixed to the support plate 4. One end of the upper fork 8 is rotatably connected to the support arm 5 through a second pin shaft 12, and the other end has a hook that can engage with the inclined teeth of the ratchet 7. The middle of the upper fork 8 is elastically connected to the support arm 5 through a first tension spring 9. The end of the first tension spring 9 away from the upper fork 8 is fixed to the support arm 5 through a pin 13. One end of the lower fork 10 is rotatably connected to the deflection arm 3 through a third pin shaft 14, and the other end has a hook that can engage with the inclined teeth of the ratchet 7. The middle of the lower fork 10 is elastically connected to the deflection arm 3 through a second tension spring 11. The end of the second tension spring 11 away from the lower fork 10 is fixed to the support arm 5 through a pin 15.

[0019] It should be noted that the lower fork 10 is located at the rear side below the upper fork 8, and the inclined teeth of the ratchet 7 are inclined towards the direction of the lower fork 10.

[0020] When the sphere needs to be waxed, the cylinder 2 extends and drives the deflection arm 3 to descend, so that the waxing roller 1 abuts against the surface of the sphere. By driving the sphere to rotate, wax can be applied to the surface of the sphere. After waxing is completed, the cylinder 2 drives the deflection arm 3 to rise. At this time, the hook of the lower fork 10 is always engaged with one of the inclined teeth of the ratchet 7, and the upper fork 8 gradually approaches the ratchet 7. When the hook of the upper fork 8 abuts against another inclined tooth of the ratchet 7, the deflection arm 3 continues to rise. Under the pulling force of the first tension spring 9 and the second tension spring 11, the upper fork 8 and the lower fork 10 will move along the inclined teeth of the ratchet 7. Under the guiding action of the inclined teeth, the ratchet 7 rotates clockwise by a certain angle, and then the waxing roller 1 rotates by a certain angle, thereby ensuring the uniformity of subsequent waxing.

[0021] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed.
