[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.
[0021] refer to Figures 1 to 6 The utility model provides a silent shaft, comprising an upper cover 1, a handle 2, a base 3 and a spring 4. The upper cover 1 is arranged on the base 3 and forms a receiving space with the base 3.
[0022] The push handle 2 includes an integrally connected push handle body 21, a limiting rod 22, a first buffer structure 23 and a second buffer structure 24. The limiting rod 22 is located below the push handle body 21. The first buffer structure 23, the second buffer structure 24 and the limiting rod 22 are all located in the accommodating space. The first buffer structure 23 and the second buffer structure 24 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the push handle body 21. The first buffer structure 23 and the second buffer structure 24 have the same structure. The first buffer structure 23 includes a buffer clamp 231, a silent ring 232, a left protrusion 233 and a right protrusion 234. The buffer clamp 231 is provided with an integrally connected clamping portion 235 and a connecting portion 236. One end of the connecting portion 236 is fixedly connected to the push handle body 21. The clamping portion 235 is provided with an upper clamping block 237 and a lower clamping block 238. The top of the upper clamping block 237 is higher than the top of the connecting portion 236, and the bottom of the lower clamping block 238 is lower than the bottom of the connecting portion 236. The left protrusion 233 and the right protrusion 234 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the buffer clamp 231. The width of the silent ring 232 is the same as the distance between the upper clamp 237 and the handle body 21. The distance between the left protrusion 233 and the buffer clamp 231 is the same as the distance between the right protrusion 234 and the buffer clamp 231, and is the same as the thickness of the silent ring 232. The silent ring 232 is sleeved on the connecting portion 236, with its rear end abutting against the handle body 21, its front end abutting against the upper clamp 237 and the lower clamp 238, and its left and right sides abutting against the left protrusion 233 and the right protrusion 234 respectively. The left protrusion 233 and the right protrusion 234 play the role of clamping and fixing the silent ring 232. The top of the silent ring 232 is higher than the top of the upper block 237, the left protrusion 233, and the right protrusion 234, and its bottom is lower than the bottom of the lower block 238, the left protrusion 233, and the right protrusion 234. The silent ring 232 is elastic and can be a rubber ring or a silicone ring.
[0023] The base 3 is provided with a receiving slot 31, a fixing post 32, and a hollow hole 33.
