[0028] The embodiment of the present application solves the problems of traditional medium-sized casters by providing a universal brake structure for medium-sized casters. Due to structural constraints, casters of different specifications need to be equipped with brake structures with parts of different sizes; warehouse management is inconvenient due to the large number of specifications of brake parts; and the production process also has low production efficiency due to different part specifications and numerous processes.
[0029] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0030] The utility model discloses a universal brake structure for medium-sized casters. Figure 1-7 As shown, it includes a movable bracket 2 arranged at the bottom of the base plate 1, the movable bracket 2 is used to support the wheel 11, and the movable bracket 2 is movably connected to the brake spring sheet 8 and the split system 7 through the phoenix eye rivet 10; the split system 7 is provided with an inner boss 72, and the inner boss 72 is movably connected to the inside of the movable bracket 2.
[0031] The internal movable card of the split system 7 is connected to the brake pedal 9;
[0032] The movable bracket 2 is connected to the wheel 11 via a threaded bolt 12. The eccentricity C and the braking point M formed by the combination of various types of wheels 11 and the movable bracket 2 are the same; a self-locking nut 13 is threadedly connected to the threaded bolt 12.
[0033] This medium-sized caster has a universal brake structure. Figure 1This is a product assembly drawing; in the figure, the base plate 1 and the brake sprocket 3 are riveted together as a whole through the center rivet 6; the movable bracket 2 can rotate along the center rivet 6 in the combination of the upper ball steel ball 4 and the lower ball steel ball 5; in the figure, the brake spring plate 8 has no contact with the brake sprocket 3 and the wheel 11, the wheel 11 can rotate, and the movable bracket 2 can also rotate. At this time, the caster is in a movable driving state.
[0034] The base plate 1 is riveted to the brake sprocket 3 via a central rivet 6 , and a front end of the brake spring sheet 8 is provided with an arc-shaped caliper 81 that is engaged with the brake sprocket 3 .
[0035] Figure 2 This is a diagram of the product braking effect, which is a split brake caster structure; the split system 7 and the movable bracket 2, and the brake spring sheet 8 are connected and assembled into one by the phoenix eye rivet 10; as shown in the figure, the brake pedal 9 is stepped on in the F direction, so that the front shoulder 91 of the brake pedal 9 contacts the rear side of the square opening 71 of the split system 7 and is in a locked position, and the tail of the brake spring sheet 8 is pressed downward by the rear shoulder 92 of the brake pedal 9, and the convex teeth 82 of the brake spring sheet 8 contact the wheel surface of the wheel 11, so that the wheel 11 is locked; the arc-shaped caliper 81 at the front end of the brake spring sheet 8 is forced to move upward and engage with the concave teeth of the brake sprocket 3, so that the brake sprocket 3 cannot rotate. At this time, the movable bracket 2 cannot rotate, and the wheel 11 cannot rotate either, thereby achieving a double-brake braking effect for the caster.
[0036] Figure 3 This is an exploded view of the product, in which the brake structure parts are composed of a split assembly 7, a brake spring sheet 8, and a brake pedal 9, which are connected to the movable bracket 2 through a phoenix eye rivet 10 to form an integrated unit.
[0037] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the braking structure of this product; the figure shows the braking state, and the product design has the same eccentricity C size and the same braking point M size; as shown in the figure, the wheel surfaces of medium-sized casters with different diameters 11φ75, φ80, φ100, and φ125 can all contact the convex teeth 82 of the brake spring plate 8 at the braking point M to achieve the braking effect of the wheel 11; at the same time, the front end arc caliper 81 of the brake spring plate 8 engages with the concave teeth of the brake sprocket 3 to achieve the braking effect of the movable bracket 2; this structural design enables medium-sized casters of different specifications to use a common braking structure; the split parts 7 of the brake mechanism, the brake spring plate 8, and the brake pedal 9 in the figure can all be used interchangeably, effectively improving the utilization rate of parts.
[0038] Figure 5 7 is a part drawing of the split system; as shown in the figure, an inner boss 72 is formed, and there is a through hole on the inner boss 72. The middle of the split system 7 is designed with a square opening 71; the split system 7 is connected to the movable bracket 2 by the eyelet rivet 10; the outer side of the assembled bracket is flush, and the overall appearance is more beautiful.
[0039] Figure 6This is a parts diagram of the brake spring piece 8; the front end adopts an arc-shaped caliper 81, which can better fit with the brake sprocket 3; the middle side adopts a long notch 83, which makes assembly more convenient and effectively improves assembly efficiency; a double convex tooth 82 structure is adopted, and the convex tooth 82 is moved forward to make the braking point adapt to wheels 11 of different diameters; the brake spring piece 8 is made of 65Mn material with heat treatment to ensure good braking performance.
[0040] Figure 7 This is a diagram of the brake pedal 9. The front and rear pedal surfaces of the brake pedal 9 are stamped with a first anti-skid pattern 93 and a second anti-skid pattern 94, respectively. The front end is designed as a small panel for the unlocking pedal, which also facilitates installation into the middle square opening 71 of the splitter assembly 7. The middle section is designed with a front shoulder 91 and a rear shoulder 92, and the rear end is the brake pedal surface. Both the front and rear pedal surfaces are stamped with anti-skid patterns to prevent slipping when pedaling, making braking and unlocking easier.
