[0025] 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.

[0026] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a universal wheel braking structure, including a caster 1, a braking mechanism 2, a steering mechanism 3 and other parts. The braking mechanism 2 can brake the caster 1. The braking mechanism 2 is set on both sides of the tripod 101 instead of the outside of the caster 1. This can prevent the caster 1 from rolling on the ground due to excessive dust, which affects the fixation of the caster 1. The steering mechanism 3 can steer the caster 1 to satisfy its own clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.

[0027] like Figure 5-6As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, a pushing plate 202 is provided on one side of the tripod 101, a fixing block 201 is provided in the middle of one side of the pushing plate 202, a fixing seat 205 is provided in the middle of the other side of the pushing plate 202, and an inner wall of one side of the fixing seat 205 is provided with a bite gear ring 206, which is meshed with a fixing gear 204, and the fixing gear 204 is provided on the outer walls of both ends of the rotating shaft 102. The rotating shaft 102 is located on the inner side of the caster 1, and both ends pass through to the outside of the tripod 101. A push rod 203 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of one side of the tripod 101, and the output end of the push rod 203 passes through the outside of the tripod 101, and the outer wall of the output end of the push rod 203 is provided with a pushing plate 202. Specifically, when the universal wheel is braked, the caster 1 is mainly braked. Braking is performed. Since a rotating shaft 102 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the caster 1, and fixed gears 204 are fixedly provided on the outer walls of both ends of the rotating shaft 102, braking of the caster 1 is braking of the fixed gear 204. A groove is provided on one side of the tripod 101, and the fixed gear 204 is located in the groove and rotates in the groove. The reason why the fixed gear 204, the rotating shaft 102, and the caster 1 are fixedly connected is to ensure that after the fixed gear 204 is braked, the caster 1 is synchronously driven to brake, and there will be no slipping of the rotating shaft 102 on the inner wall of the fixed gear 204 or the caster 1 on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 102 under braking, thereby driving the caster 1 to continue to rotate. Four circular holes are provided on one side of the tripod 101, and the inner walls of the circular holes are provided. The bottom end is fixed with a push rod 203, and the push plate 202 is also provided with round holes around it. The output end of the push rod 203 is fixedly set in the round hole on the push plate 202. The push rod 203 here can be a telescopic rod or an electric push rod. The fixed block 201 set on one side of the push plate 202 plays a dragging role. When the push rod 203 is set as a telescopic rod, it is necessary to manually rely on dragging the fixed block 201 to drive the push plate 202 to move, thereby driving the meshing tooth ring 206 on the fixed seat 205 to engage or separate with the fixed gear 204. The fixed seat 205 is fixedly set on the other side of the push plate 202, and the fixed seat 205 is filled in the groove on the tripod 101. The outer wall of the fixed seat 205 is in contact with the inner wall of the groove. Therefore, When 206 and the fixed gear 204 engage with each other, the caster 1 will stop rotating. The engaging tooth ring 206 on the fixing seat 205 is at the same height as the fixed gear 204, and can fix it when the fixed gear 204 is fully engaged. Therefore, when the engaging tooth ring 206 does not brake the fixed gear 204, a part of the fixing seat 205 is still located in the groove on the tripod 101, which can prevent impurities from entering the groove on the tripod 101 during the rolling process of the caster 1 and affecting the engagement between the fixing seat 205 and the fixed gear 204. The pushing plate 202 is equal to the diameter of the arc part below the tripod 101. When braking, the pushing plate 202 is attached to the tripod 101, which can make the entire universal wheel look simple and beautiful.

[0028] like Figure 3-4 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, a steering seat 302 is provided at the top of the tripod 101, and a fixed shaft 301 is provided at the middle part of the inner side of the top of the steering seat 302. The top of the fixed shaft 301 passes through the fixed plate 303, and a fixing cap 304 is provided on the outer wall of the top of the fixed shaft 301. The fixing cap 304 is rotatably set on the fixed plate 303. The fixed plate 303 is located at the top of the steering seat 302, and a fixing ring 306 is provided at the bottom of the fixing plate 303. A positive ratchet 312 and a reverse ratchet 309 are sequentially provided in the fixing ring 306. An annular belt 305 is provided on the inner wall of the steering seat 302, and the annular belt 305 rotates around the outer wall of the fixing ring 306. Specifically, during the rolling process of the universal wheel, it is necessary to turn to adapt to the road The steering seat 302 is needed to adjust the route. The steering seat 302 is connected to the fixed plate 303 through the fixed shaft 301, and the fixed shaft 301 is fixed on the steering seat 302. The fixed shaft 301 is rotatably set on the fixed plate 303 through the fixed cap 304. When the universal wheel is rotated, the items carried on the top of the universal wheel can only be driven by the tripod 101 outside the caster 1 to drive the steering seat 302 to rotate, thereby driving the caster 1 to turn. If you want to drive the caster 1 to turn by rotating the fixed plate 303, it is impossible, because the fixed shaft 301 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 303, the fixed plate 303 will rotate, and the steering seat 302 will not be affected by the rotation of the fixed plate 303.

[0029] like Figure 3-4As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, an H-shaped plate 307 is provided on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 301, and a slide groove 313 is provided on the inner wall at both ends of the H-shaped plate 307. A slider 311 is provided in the slide groove 313 for sliding. A pawl 308 is provided between the sliders 311, and a spring 310 is provided on one side of the pawl 308. The upper and lower ends of the pawl 308 are respectively engaged with the forward ratchet 312 and the reverse ratchet 309. Specifically, when the universal wheel is turned, the caster 1 drives the steering seat 302 to rotate. The steering seat 302 rotates while driving the fixed shaft 301 to rotate inside the fixed plate 303. The fixed shaft 301 is restricted on the fixed plate 303 by the fixed cap 304. The fixed plate 303 is provided with a circular groove for placing the fixed cap 304, which can keep the upper surface of the fixed plate 303 flat. When the steering seat 302 rotates, the annular belt 305 rotates on the outer wall of the fixed ring 306. The outer wall of the fixed ring 306 is provided with an annular groove for providing a rotation environment for the annular belt 305 and can The steering seat 302 can be limited to prevent the steering seat 302 and the fixed plate 303 from separating from each other during the rotation process. When the steering seat 302 rotates, the steering seat 302 drives the H-shaped plate 307 to rotate. The H-shaped plate 307 is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 301. During the rotation of the H-shaped plate 307, the pawl 308 drives the spring 310 to be compressed under the action of the ratchet. During the compression of the spring 310, the sliders 311 on both sides of the pawl 308 slide in the slide groove 313, and the sliders 311 It is used to limit the pawl 308. Since the pawl 308 is engaged with the forward ratchet 312 and the reverse ratchet 309, there is no need to worry about the pawl 308 detaching from the H-shaped plate 307. The upper part of the pawl 308 is engaged with the reverse ratchet 309, and the lower part of the pawl 308 is engaged with the forward ratchet 312. Therefore, when the steering seat 302 rotates forward or reverse under the action of the caster 1, the pawl 308 can rotate while engaging with the ratchet, thereby adapting to the steering operation of the caster 1.

[0030] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is limited by the accompanying embodiments and their equivalents.
