DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In the prior art, deceleration is generally achieved by using a wedge in a centrifugal deceleration mechanism to impact the housing, which has the problem of generating huge noise and vibration, affecting user comfort.

[0031] In view of the above problems, the utility model provides a noise-reducing and speed-reducing tape measure, which can buffer the impact of the centrifugal component through a damping component, so that the impact noise and vibration are greatly reduced, thereby improving user comfort.

[0037] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0038] The overall structure, working principle and technical effects of a noise reduction and speed reduction tape measure 10 provided by the present invention are described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of the noise reduction and speed reduction tape measure 10 provided in this embodiment. Figure 2 This is a partial schematic diagram of the noise reduction and speed reduction tape measure 10 provided in this embodiment. Figure 3 For another partial schematic diagram of the noise reduction and speed reduction tape measure 10 provided in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides a noise-reducing and speed-reducing tape measure 10 , which includes a housing 100 , a damping member 300 , a hub 500 , and a centrifugal member 710 .

[0040] The inner cavity of the housing 100 is provided with a supporting portion 110, and the damping member 300 is at least partially aligned with the supporting portion 110. Therefore, the supporting portion 110 can guide and support the damping member 300. It is easy to understand that by designing a specific shape or position, it can be ensured that the damping member 300 can properly align with the supporting portion 110, thereby ensuring that the damping member 300 can effectively perform its function.

[0041] Based on the above, the hub 500 is located within the housing 100 and is rotationally connected thereto. The centrifugal member 710 is slidably connected to the hub 500 and is configured to collide with the damping member 300 when the hub 500 reaches a predetermined speed. In other words, the centrifugal member 710, through its sliding connection, can automatically adjust its position based on centrifugal force as it rotates with the hub 500. When the hub 500 reaches a predetermined speed, the centrifugal member 710 moves and contacts the damping member 300.

[0042] It's important to note that the damping element 300 significantly reduces vibration and noise in the system by absorbing and converting energy, improving the user experience. Specifically, the high elasticity of the damping element 300 allows it to absorb significant amounts of energy during impact, converting it into elastic potential energy and heat rather than directly transmitting it as vibration. It also allows it to release energy gradually, rather than instantaneously, effectively preventing vibration transmission. This reduces vibration transmission and reduces noise.

[0043] Considering the deformation effect of rubber and its greater friction coefficient compared to plastic, the damping member 300 can be made of rubber in this application. While ensuring noise and vibration reduction, it can also generate greater frictional resistance and a longer retention time during the collision with the centrifugal member 710, thereby further improving the deceleration effect during the tape retraction. In other embodiments, the damping member 300 can also be made of other materials, which is not limited in this application.

[0044] In addition, it should be noted that the preset rotation speed in this application refers to a rotation speed that is likely to hit or cut the user. When the rotation speed is lower than the preset rotation speed, the retraction or extension of the tape measure is not affected. Based on this, in some embodiments, the noise reduction and speed reduction tape measure 10 further includes an elastic member 730, one end of which is connected to the hub 500 and the other end is connected to the centrifugal member 710.

[0045] It is understood that when the rotation speed of the hub 500 is less than the preset speed, the tension of the elastic member 730 is greater than the centrifugal force acting on the centrifugal member 710, causing the centrifugal member 710 to remain stationary relative to the hub 500, allowing the tape measure to be smoothly retracted or extended. When the rotation speed of the hub 500 is greater than the preset speed, the tension of the elastic member 730 is less than the centrifugal force acting on the centrifugal member 710, causing the centrifugal member 710 to slide relative to the hub 500 and collide with the damping member 300, causing the tape measure to retract at a reduced speed.

[0046] Optionally, the elastic member 730 in the present application can be configured as a return spring, and the centrifugal member 710 can be a metal wedge. When the wheel hub 500 rotates at a speed exceeding a predetermined speed, the centrifugal member 710 overcomes the elastic force of the return spring and slides along the axis of the spring, away from the axis of the wheel hub 500. During this process, the metal wedge has a certain amount of deadweight, which further enhances the centrifugal effect.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the centrifugal member 710 is provided with a first inclined surface 711 at one end thereof adjacent to the damping member 300, and correspondingly, the damping member 300 is provided with a second inclined surface 311 that cooperates with the first inclined surface 711. It is readily understood that when the wheel hub 500 reaches a predetermined rotational speed, the arrangement of the first inclined surface 711 and the second inclined surface 311 increases the contact area between the centrifugal member 710 and the damping member 300, resulting in a higher frequency of collisions and a more significant friction effect, thereby effectively reducing the recovery speed of the wheel hub 500.

[0048] See also Figures 4 to 6 Because the damping member 300 tends to peel off the abutting portion 110 during high-frequency impact, in some embodiments, the damping member 300 includes a collision portion 310 and a positioning portion 330 that are interconnected. The positioning portion 330 is connected to the housing 100, and the collision portion 310 is positioned in a correspondingly aligned manner with the abutting portion 110. This connection provides sufficient tensile and shear strength without affecting the function of the damping member 300, ensuring that the damping member 300 will not loosen or fall off during high-frequency impact.

[0049] To further enhance the impact resistance of the damping element 300, two positioning portions 330 are provided, each connected to opposite ends of the collision portion 310. Furthermore, considering that the collision portion is susceptible to significant tangential stress during high-frequency impacts, both positioning portions 330 extend circumferentially along the housing 100 to enhance the tangential fixation of the damping element 300 within the housing 100.

[0050] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 To improve the axial fixation of the damping member 300 in the housing 100, a limiting portion 130 is further provided in the inner cavity of the housing 100. The limiting portion 130 and the abutting portion 110 are spaced apart along the circumference of the housing 100. Furthermore, the limiting portion 130 is provided with a positioning groove 131 that cooperates with the positioning portion 330, so that the positioning portion 330 can be firmly embedded therein, reducing axial displacement caused by high-frequency impact.

[0051] To further optimize the design of the damping member 300, the spacing between the limiting portion 130 and the abutting portion 110 can be utilized to position the damping member 300. Specifically, the damping member 300 further includes a connecting portion 320, which is located between the limiting portion 130 and the abutting portion 110, and the collision portion 310 is connected to the positioning portion 330 via the connecting portion 320. It is easy to understand that the connecting portion 320 is sandwiched between the limiting portion 130 and the abutting portion 110, thereby further enhancing the stability of the damping member 300 and preventing it from displacement during high-frequency impacts.

[0052] To optimize space utilization and enhance the stability of the damping element 300, the damping element 300 also includes an anti-slip portion 350. This anti-slip portion 350 is located outside the housing 100 and is connected to both the positioning portion 330 and the collision portion 310, forming an integral structure. This arrangement increases the contact area and friction between the damping element 300 and the housing 100, further preventing the damping element 300 from slipping during high-frequency impacts, thereby improving the overall structural strength and stability.

[0053] Please refer again Figure 2 In some embodiments, to improve the effectiveness of vibration and noise reduction, there are at least two abutting portions 110, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the housing 100. On this basis, the damping member 300 corresponds to the abutting portions 110 in a one-to-one manner, i.e., in position and number, to ensure that the kinetic energy of the centrifugal member 710 is always absorbed by the damping member 300.

[0054] Furthermore, the noise-reducing and speed-reducing tape measure 10 includes a connector 400, which connects all the damping elements 300, ensuring that they remain in a fixed position during high-frequency impacts, thereby improving the overall structural strength and stability. Furthermore, it should be noted that, considering the manufacturing cost and process difficulty, the damping elements 300 and the connector 400 can be manufactured using an integral injection molding method.

[0055] In summary, the present invention provides a noise-reducing and speed-reducing tape measure 10, which includes a housing 100, a damping member 300, a hub 500, and a centrifugal member 710. The housing 100 has an inner cavity provided with a supporting portion 110, with the damping member 300 at least partially aligned with the supporting portion 110. Thus, the supporting portion 110 can provide guidance and support for the damping member 300. Furthermore, the hub 500 is located within the housing 100 and is rotationally connected thereto. The centrifugal member 710 is slidably connected to the hub 500 and is configured to collide with the damping member 300 when the hub 500 reaches a predetermined speed. It is understood that the damping member 300 can significantly reduce vibration and noise in the system by absorbing and converting energy, thereby improving the user experience. Therefore, the noise-reducing and speed-reducing tape measure 10 provided by the present invention reduces vibration transmission, reduces noise, and enhances the user experience.

[0056] The above is only a specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
