A positioning rod 15 is fixedly connected to the center of one side of the support block 16. The side of the positioning rod 15 away from the support block 16 is rotatably connected to one side of the internal thread groove 6. A movable groove 19 is provided at the top and bottom of the support block 16. A movable limit block 20 is slidably connected inside the movable groove 19. A slide groove 10 is provided at the top and bottom of the groove 9 corresponding to the interior of the reinforcing rod 7, and a number of arc-shaped limit grooves 17 are provided on the side opposite to the two slide grooves 10 inside the reinforcing rod 7.

[0015] The reinforcing rod 7 is sleeved and slidably connected to the rocker arm body 1 , and the two rotating plates 4 are fixedly connected to the rotating rod 5 on the opposite sides. The rotating rod 5 extends to the outside of the inner plate 2 away from the rotating plate 4 and is fixedly connected to the knob 8 .

[0016] Fixing grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the surface of the reinforcing rod 7 , and a fixing block 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular outer sleeve plate 13 . The inner side of the fixing block 12 passes through the interior of the fixing groove 11 and is fixedly connected to the fixing groove 11 .

[0020] The opposite sides of the upper and lower movable limiting blocks 20 respectively penetrate into the interiors of the two arc-shaped limiting grooves 17 and are engaged with the arc-shaped limiting grooves 17 .

[0021] Working principle: The user rotates the knob 8 to drive the rotating rod 5 and the connected rotating plate 4 to rotate in the rotating groove 3. Since the internal thread groove 6 inside the rotating plate 4 cooperates with the external thread groove 14 of the annular outer sleeve plate 13 on the reinforcing rod 7, the rotation action causes a threaded connection between the two, thereby pushing the reinforcing rod 7 to slide left and right relative to the rocker arm body 1. As the reinforcing rod 7 slides, the support block 16 and the movable limit block 20 inside it also move accordingly. The movable limit block 20 slides in the support groove 21 under the guidance of the support rod 22, and at the same time is subjected to the elastic force of the rebound spring 23 to maintain the search and approach to the arc-shaped limit groove 17. When the reinforcing rod 7 slides to the appropriate position, the movable limit block 20, pushed by the rebound spring 23, just enters the corresponding The arc-shaped limit groove 17 is engaged and clamped to achieve the fixation of the locking state. At this time, due to the close fit between the external thread groove 14 and the internal thread groove 6, and the clamping of the movable limit block 20 and the arc-shaped limit groove 17, the stability and reliability of the locking structure are ensured. In the locked state, the relative position between the reinforcing rod 7 and the rocker arm body 1 is fixed, and the rotation of the rotating plate 4 is also limited within a certain range, thereby ensuring the overall stability and transmission accuracy of the fork shaft rocker arm. The clamping of the movable limit block 20 and the arc-shaped limit groove 17 provides additional locking force to prevent loosening caused by vibration or impact. At the same time, the continuous elastic force of the rebound spring 23 ensures the close contact between the movable limit block 20 and the arc-shaped limit groove 17, thereby enhancing the durability of the locking effect.

[0022] In summary: the fork shaft rocker arm locking structure realizes a more stable locking method by adopting a threaded connection between the reinforcing rod 7 and the rotating plate 4. This design not only enhances the locking force, but also makes the locking effect less likely to weaken over time, effectively avoiding loosening caused by long-term operation or impact load, thereby ensuring transmission accuracy and reducing the occurrence of mechanical failures. The rotating plate 4 is connected to the external operation through the rotating rod 5 and the knob 8, so that the user can easily adjust the position of the rotating plate 4 in the rotating groove 3 according to different working conditions and load changes, and then adjust the locking force. This design provides a flexible adjustment mechanism, significantly improves the adaptability and reliability of the locking structure, and meets diverse usage needs. The model realizes the locking function while maintaining the compactness and simplicity of the structure through ingenious structural design, such as the mutual cooperation of components such as the reinforcing rod 7, the annular outer plate 13 and the movable limit block 20. This not only reduces the manufacturing cost, but also makes the replacement or repair process simple and quick, improves production efficiency, and reduces maintenance costs. The clamping design between the movable limit block 20 and the arc-shaped limit groove 17, and the supporting effect of the rebound spring 23 on the movable limit block 20 effectively reduce the direct friction between components and extend the service life. At the same time, the connection between the fixing groove 11 and the fixing block 12 between the annular outer plate 13 and the reinforcing rod 7 also enhances the overall stability of the structure and reduces wear caused by vibration or impact.
