[0028] See Figure 1-Figure 7The utility model provides a seat rotation mechanism, including a middle cylinder 1 and a main shaft 10. One end of the main shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the middle cylinder 1 through a first bearing 6. A track wheel 4 is sleeved on the end of the main shaft 10 close to the middle cylinder 1. The track wheel 4 is arranged in the middle cylinder 1 and is detachably connected to the middle cylinder 1. A roller 3 for cooperating with the track wheel 4 is provided on the side wall of the main shaft 10. The main shaft 10 is also provided with a fixed component that can slide back and forth along the axial direction of the main shaft 10 and an elastic driving component for driving the fixed component to move toward the direction close to the track wheel 4. The track wheel 4 is arranged on the fixed component. A wheel surface 41 for cooperating with the roller 3 is provided on the side close to the roller 3, and the wheel surface 41 includes a protruding peak point 411 and a recessed valley point 412, and a transition slope 413 is provided between the peak point 411 and the valley point 412, wherein the fixed component is a sliding block 5, and a sliding cavity 101 for cooperating with the sliding block 5 is provided in the main shaft 10, and the sliding block 5 is slidably provided in the sliding cavity 101, and an opening is provided on one side of the sliding cavity 101 along its axial direction so that the roller 3 is connected to the sliding block 5 through the opening, and the elastic driving component is a spring 11 provided in the sliding cavity 101. In this embodiment, by providing a roller 3, an elastic driving component, a fixing component and a track wheel 4 to cooperate, the main shaft 10 can be driven to automatically reset and maintain a fixed relative direction with the middle tube 1 in the absence of external force. During use, the elastic driving component can drive the roller 3 to fit the wheel surface 41 of the track wheel 4. Since the wheel surface 41 includes a protruding peak point 411 and a recessed valley point 412, when the roller 3 fits the remaining positions except the valley point 412, the elastic force of the elastic driving component can drive the track wheel 4 and the main shaft 10 to rotate, so that the roller 3 remains in contact with the recessed valley point 412, releasing the elastic force of the elastic driving component, so that the seat can have an automatic reset function.
[0029] See Figure 1 、 Figure 4 The middle tube 1 is covered with an outer tube 2 which is detachably connected thereto. A cover plate 9 is provided at one end of the outer tube 2. Several fixing holes are provided on the outer tube 2 and the cover plate 9. The outer tube 2 is used to connect to the seat for easy installation and removal.
[0030] Preferably, the middle tube 1 and the outer tube 2 are detachably connected by a plurality of screws.
[0031] Preferably, the outer tube 2 is a square tube, and the middle tube 1 is a round tube. The outer wall of the middle tube 1 is provided with a plurality of directional protrusions 8 for engaging with the inner cavity of the outer tube 2. The directional protrusions 8 keep the middle tube 1 fixed and prevent it from rotating when installed inside the outer tube 2, thereby improving stability.
[0032] Preferably, the outer tube 2 is a 50mm*50mm square tube, and the middle tube 1 is a round tube with an outer diameter of 45mm.
[0033] See Figure 1 、 Figure 8 A stop plate 12 is provided on the end of the outer cylinder 2 away from the cover plate 9. A through hole is provided in the middle of the stop plate 12 for the spindle 10 to pass through. A stop bump 121 is provided on the side of the stop plate 12 near the outer cylinder 2 to fill the gap between the outer cylinder 2 and the middle cylinder 1. The stop plate 12 further improves stability and prevents the middle cylinder 1 from rotating or shaking relative to the outer cylinder 2. Example 2
[0034] See Figure 1 、 Figure 6 Based on the first embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The middle cylinder 1 has a hollow inner cavity 13 extending axially therefrom. A mounting portion 131 having a larger inner diameter than the inner cavity 13 is provided at one end of the inner cavity 13. A limiting stepped surface 132 is provided between the mounting portion 131 and the inner cavity 13. The track wheel 4 has a wheel body limiting protrusion 42 on its end away from the wheel surface 41, which is configured to engage with the limiting stepped surface 132. The mounting portion 131 and the limiting stepped surface 132 are capable of engaging with the wheel body limiting protrusion 42 of the track wheel 4, achieving a positioned installation of the track wheel 4, making installation more convenient and improving installation accuracy.
[0035] Preferably, the track wheel 4 is provided with two screw holes, and screws are passed through the middle cylinder 1 and fixedly connected to the screw holes. The track wheel 4 is provided separately from the middle cylinder 1 and fixed by screws, which makes installation and removal more convenient and easy to maintain.
[0036] Working process of this utility model:
[0037] During the operation of the seat rotation mechanism of the present invention, when in use, the elastic driving component can drive the roller 3 to fit into the wheel surface 41 of the track wheel 4. Since the wheel surface 41 includes a protruding peak point 411 and a recessed valley point 412, when the roller 3 fits into the remaining positions except the valley point 412, the track wheel 4 and the main shaft 10 can be driven to rotate under the action of the elastic force of the elastic driving component, so that the roller 3 remains in contact with the recessed valley point 412, and the elastic force of the elastic driving component is released, so that the seat can have an automatic reset function.
