[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "vertical," "upper," "lower," and "horizontal," etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely to facilitate the description of this utility model and simplify the description. They are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] It should also be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections, direct connections, connections through an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 2 FIG. 1 shows a pulley mechanism 100 with a wheelbase adjustment function according to an embodiment of the present invention. The pulley mechanism 100 includes a gear 10, a first connecting frame 20, and a second connecting frame 30. The first connecting frame 20 is provided with a first groove 21, on which a first roller 22 is provided. The second connecting frame 30 is provided with a second groove 31, on which a second roller 32 is provided. The first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 are capable of sliding relative to each other after assembly, and the first groove 21 and the second groove 31 are spliced ​​together to form a mounting cavity 40. The gear 10 is disposed within the mounting cavity 40, and at least one of the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 is meshed with the gear 10 for transmission. When the gear 10 rotates about its own axis, it can drive the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 to move closer or farther away, thereby adjusting the distance between the first roller 22 and the second roller 32.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 are slidably connected and both mesh with the gear 10 for transmission. Therefore, when the gear 10 rotates about its own axis, it can drive the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 to move synchronously in opposite directions. At the same time, the first roller 22 is mounted on the end of the first connecting frame 20 away from the gear 10, and the second roller 32 is mounted on the end of the second connecting frame 30 away from the gear 10. Therefore, when the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 move away from each other, the distance between the first roller 22 and the second roller 32 along the thickness direction gradually increases. Conversely, when the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 move closer to each other, the distance between the first roller 22 and the second roller 32 along the thickness direction gradually decreases. The above steps are used to adjust the distance between the first roller 22 and the second roller 32 to adapt to the size of the track provided in the profile.

[0039] In addition, Figures 3 to 6 As shown, when the pulley mechanism 100 is installed in the slide rail 200, the distance between the first roller 22 and the second roller 32 can be reduced, so that the overall width of the pulley mechanism 100 is smaller than the width of the opening groove 300 of the slide groove 200. This allows the pulley mechanism 100 to be installed into the slide rail 200 from bottom to top through the opening groove 300 or to be removed from the slide rail 200 from top to bottom, thereby realizing the installation, use and removal of the pulley mechanism 100 and improving the convenience of installation and use.

[0040] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, a first rack 23 and a second rack 33 are disposed in the first groove 21 and the second groove 31, respectively. Both the first rack 23 and the second rack 33 mesh with the gear 10, thereby achieving synchronous counter-rotating motion of the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30. In another embodiment, two mutually meshing eccentric gears 10 may be used, each meshing with the first rack 23 and the second rack 33, respectively, to also achieve synchronous counter-rotating motion of the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30.

[0041] See also Figure 2 The first groove 21 and the second groove 31 are both extended with a support groove 24 arranged perpendicular thereto. Due to the provision of the support groove 24, when the gear 10 is assembled into the mounting cavity 40, the support groove 24 can support the gear 10, thereby preventing the gear 10 from being separated from the mounting cavity 40, and improving the stability of the transmission cooperation between the gear 10 and the rack structure.

[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The pulley mechanism 100 provided in one embodiment of the present invention further includes an adjustment assembly, which includes a movable member 50. One end of the movable member 50 is connected to the gear 10. The movable member 50 rotates to drive the gear 10 to rotate synchronously. By manually rotating the movable member 50, the gear 10 rotates synchronously with the movable member 50, thereby achieving synchronous reverse movement of the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30, thereby facilitating adjustment of the spacing between the first roller 22 and the second roller 32. The movable member 50 and the gear 10 can be connected by welding, dispensing, integral molding, etc. In this embodiment, the movable member 50 is specifically a bolt, which is rotated by a screwdriver to adjust the spacing between the first roller 22 and the second roller 32, making adjustment convenient.

[0043] Furthermore, the outer wall of the movable part 50 is provided with bilaterally symmetrical air avoidance levels 51, which extend along the axial direction of the movable part 50; the air avoidance levels 51 provide space, and the operator can use tools such as wrenches to clamp the air avoidance levels 51, which is convenient for rotating the movable part 50, thereby driving the gear 10 to rotate.

[0044] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the adjustment assembly also includes a locking member 60, which is sleeved on the movable member 50. The locking member 60 moves along the axial direction of the movable member 50. After moving a certain distance, the locking member 60 abuts against the bottom of the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 to lock the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30.

[0045] See also Figure 2 A first overlapping portion is provided between the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30. The first overlapping portion includes a first positioning groove 70 and a first positioning post 71 that cooperates with the first positioning groove 70. In this embodiment, both the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 are provided with the first positioning groove 70, and the second connecting frame 30 and the first connecting frame 20 are provided with corresponding first positioning posts 71, that is, two sets of first overlapping portions are provided. When the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 are assembled, the raised first positioning post 71 is inserted into the recessed first positioning groove 70, guiding the synchronous reverse movement of the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30, so that the first roller 22 and the second roller 32 always remain parallel, thereby ensuring smooth sliding and operating reliability of the door and window. In other embodiments, only one set of first overlapping portions may be provided.

[0046] See also Figure 2A second overlapping fitting portion is provided between the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30; the second overlapping fitting portion includes a second positioning groove 80 and a second positioning column 81 that cooperates with the second positioning groove 80; in this embodiment, the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 are both provided with a second positioning groove 80, and at the same time, the second connecting frame 30 and the first connecting frame 20 are correspondingly provided with a second positioning column 81. Through the cooperation between the second positioning groove 80 and the second positioning column 81, the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 are overlapped with each other.

[0047] See also Figure 2 The ends of the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30, facing away from each other, each have a mounting groove 25 recessed along their thickness. The first roller 22 and the second roller 32 are rotatably connected within the mounting groove 25. Specifically, the bottom surface of the mounting groove 25 is an inclined surface 251 extending along the recessed direction of the mounting groove 25 and toward one end. The inclined surface 251 has a mounting hole 252 formed therein. A rotating shaft 253 is inserted into the mounting hole 252. The first roller 22 and the second roller 32 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 253, thereby mounting the first roller 22 and the second roller 32 within the mounting groove 25. Due to the provision of the inwardly recessed mounting groove 25 and the installation of the first roller 22 and the second roller 32 within the mounting groove 25, the overall thickness of the pulley mechanism 100 can be reduced, thereby reducing the space occupied.

[0048] Compared to the prior art, the pulley mechanism 100 with wheelbase adjustment function disclosed herein includes a gear 10, a first gear 10, and a second connecting frame 30. Because the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 are slidably connected and mesh with the gear 10, the gear 10 rotates about its axis, driving the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 toward or away from each other. A first roller 22 and a second roller 32 are provided on the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30, respectively. When the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 move toward each other, the distance between the first roller 22 and the second roller 32 is shortened; when the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 move away from each other, the distance between the first roller 22 and the second roller 32 is increased. This distance is thus adjustable to accommodate profiles of varying sizes. Furthermore, during installation, the overall width of the first connecting frame 20 and the second connecting frame 30 can be shortened to facilitate passage through the slots in the slide rails, improving installation and ease of use.

[0049] The above merely represents the preferred technical solution of the present invention. While the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and the present invention is intended to encompass such modifications and variations.
