[0024] It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the features of the embodiments and implementations of this application can be combined with each other. The technical solution of the present utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] See also Figures 1-6As shown, a stationary dual braking mechanism for casters includes a connecting base 21 and a dual braking mechanism 22 movably connected to the connecting base 21. The dual braking mechanism 22 includes a caster bracket 35, a bevel gear 36, a braking block 37, a Z-shaped operating lever 38, and a rubber wheel 39.

[0026] The bevel gear 36 is disposed in the caster bracket 35. The top of the bevel gear 36 is movably connected to the connecting base 21 by rivets passing through the caster bracket 35. The bottom end of the bevel gear 36 is provided with teeth 15 that extend downwardly into the caster bracket 35 and contact the brake block 37.

[0027] The brake block 37 is provided with a convex and concave edge 16, a brake shoe 17, a main nail hole 18, and a concave cavity 19. The convex and concave edge 16 contacts the teeth 15, and the brake shoe 17 contacts the rubber wheel 39. The main screw 25 passes through the main nail hole 18 to flexibly connect the brake block 37 to the bottom of the bevel gear 36.

[0028] The Z-shaped operating rod 38 is provided with a flat shaft 26 and a handle 27. The flat shaft 36 is arranged in the concave cavity 19 and contacts the inner walls of the convex and concave edges 16 and the brake pad 17. The handle 27 protrudes from the side of the caster bracket 35. By operating the handle 27, the flat shaft 26 supports the convex and concave edges 16 and the brake pad 17 to expand up and down. The expanded convex and concave edges 16 and the teeth 15 are interlocked with each other, and the expanded brake pad 17 is in contact with the rubber wheel 39.

[0029] Preferably, the brake block 37 has its own elastic force capable of expanding and contracting outwards.

[0030] Preferably, a secondary nail hole 28 is provided at the bottom of the caster bracket 35, and a rubber wheel 39 is movably connected to the bottom of the caster bracket 35 through a secondary screw 29, and the surface of the rubber wheel 39 is in contact with the brake pad 17 and the ground.

[0031] Preferably, when the utility model is used to brake, Figure 1 As shown, first, the handle 27 is operated to expand the convex and concave edges 16 of the wide flat shaft 26 upward, so that the convex and concave edges 16 and the teeth 15 are locked with each other, effectively preventing the workshop truck from swinging left and right. When the handle 27 is operated to expand the brake shoe 17 of the wide flat shaft 26 downward, the brake shoe 17 contacts the rubber wheel 39 to stop the workshop truck from moving forward or backward, thereby achieving the effect of double braking the workshop truck; when it is no longer necessary to brake the workshop truck, the handle 27 is operated to retract the narrow flat shaft 26 into the concave cavity 19. Due to the elastic force of the brake block 37, the convex and concave edges 16 and the brake shoe 17 are also retracted, and the convex and concave edges 16 are separated from the teeth 15, and the brake shoe 17 is separated from the rubber wheel 39. Figure 2As shown, at this time, the caster is not controlled and the workshop truck is in a running state, and the workshop truck needs to be braked again and the operation is repeated.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various changes and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
