DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, the automatic rope braiding device in this example includes a housing 1, a rotating drum 4, a hook 3, a gear transmission mechanism 6, and a crank 2. The rotating drum 4 is installed in the cavity of the housing 1. A groove is formed along the axial direction on the circumference of the rotating drum 4. The hook 3 is slidably connected to the groove. A guide slider 31 is provided on the lower part of the hook 3. The guide slider 31 is partially located in the guide groove 13 on the cavity wall of the housing 1 and is clearance-fitted to form a sliding connection. The crank 2 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 and the rotating drum 4 is driven to rotate by the gear transmission mechanism 6. During the rotation of the rotating drum, under the guidance of the guide groove, the hook slides up and down relative to the rotating drum in the longitudinal direction (i.e., axial direction).

[0026] In this example, the shell 1 includes an upper part 10, a middle part 11 and a lower part 12. The upper part 10 and the lower part 12 are connected by the middle part 11. The upper part, the middle part and the lower part are all cylindrical. The upper part 10, the middle part 11 and the lower part 12 are docked and fixed to form the shell 1, wherein a guide groove 13 is formed between the bottom end surface of the upper part 10 and the convex ring 111 convexly formed on the outer wall of the cavity of the middle part 11. If the cavity wall of the middle part 11 is stepped and the convex ring 111 is formed at the step interface, the convex ring is inclined, and the corresponding bottom end surface of the upper part is also inclined. After the upper part and the middle part are docked and fixed, the bottom end of the upper part 10 extends into the cavity of the middle part 11 and a guide groove 13 is formed between the bottom end surface of the upper part 12 and the convex ring 111 at the cavity wall of the middle part 11.

[0027] To facilitate the docking of the upper and middle parts, in this example, the upper part 10 and the middle part 11 are embedded and fixed, wherein the upper part 10 is a stepped cylindrical shape, and an embedded groove 100 is formed inwardly at the upper step interface. When the upper part and the middle part are docked, the cavity wall of the head end of the middle part 11 is embedded in the embedded groove 100 to fix them as a whole, and the bottom end of the upper part 10 extends into the cavity of the middle part 11 to form a guide groove 13 between the bottom end surface 101 and the convex ring 111.

[0028] In this example, the lower part 12 of the shell 1 supports the rotating drum 4, such as a support ring 121 formed at the top surface of the lower part 12 of the shell, and the supporting ring 121 supports the rotating drum 4. Specifically, the gear transmission mechanism is such as the common bevel gear matching type, such as including bevel gear 1 62 and bevel gear 2 61. A hole is formed on the circumferential surface of the middle part 11 of the shell, and the end of the crank handle 2 passes through the hole and the bevel gear 1 62 is sleeved on the end of the crank handle 2. The bottom end of the rotating drum 4 is sleeved with bevel gear 2 61, and the bevel gear 1 62 is meshed with the bevel gear 2 61. A ring body, namely the supporting ring 121, is convexly formed on the top surface of the lower part 12 of the shell, so that the supporting ring abuts against the bevel gear 2 61 to form support for the rotating drum 4. The bottom end of the rotating drum 4 extends into the ring opening of the support ring 121 and the clearance between the circumferential wall of the bottom end of the rotating drum 4 and the ring opening wall is matched.

[0029] When assembling the shell structure, the rotating drum, the crank handle and the gear transmission mechanism are installed in the middle of the shell, and then the lower part of the shell can be installed to form a support limit for the rotating drum, and then the upper part of the shell can be installed.

[0030] As for the fixation of the lower and middle parts of the shell, any method such as interlocking fixation or snap fixation is possible. In this example, screws are used as fasteners for fixation. After the periphery of the top end of the lower part abuts against the corresponding bottom end of the middle part, they can be screwed in axially or radially to fix the middle and lower parts of the shell as one.

[0031] In addition, a sealing ring 5 can be added and put on the head end of the drum 4 so that the sealing ring abuts against the upper cavity wall to form a seal and reduce the entry of debris.

[0032] A rope locking mechanism 7 can also be added, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 6When the handle is cranked, the gear transmission mechanism rotates, and the hook needle slides up and down relative to the shell body under the guidance of the guide groove.

[0033] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions based on the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, certain improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
