[0030] The following description provides specific application scenarios and requirements for this specification, intended to enable those skilled in the art to make and use the contents of this specification. Various partial modifications to the disclosed embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of this specification. Therefore, this specification is not limited to the embodiments shown, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the claims.
[0031] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "radial", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are mainly for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element or component to have a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.
[0032] Secondly, the terms "first," "second," and similar words do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application.
[0033] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," "connection," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral constructions; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two devices, components, or parts.
[0034] Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0035] Regarding the accompanying drawings of this application, it should be clearly understood that the drawings are for illustrative and descriptive purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this specification. It should also be understood that the drawings are not drawn to scale.
[0036] Example 1:
[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a two-color injection molded integrated roller stop pin, including a top pin 1 and a roller 2. The roller 2 includes a rotating shaft 20 and a rolling part 21 sleeved on the rotating shaft 20. The two parts are integrated by two-color injection molding. The rotating shaft 20 is made of plastic material, and the rolling part 21 is made of rubber material. With this configuration, the contact surface of the roller 2 is made of soft rubber material, which has a soft feel and a sucking sensation during operation. Secondly, the vibration generated by the impact between the roller 2 and the track during operation is coupled by the soft rubber, which reduces the operating noise. In addition, some of the impact force during operation is absorbed by the soft rubber, which reduces the risk of shifting gears. Furthermore, the roller is lightweight, low in cost, and requires no assembly.
[0038] Secondly, roller 2 is made of two-color injection molding: the first color is plastic material, which ensures the structural strength of the roller and the smoothness of matching the stop pin.
[0039] In addition, roller stop pins can be used as standard parts, which can improve the standardization of roller stop pin design, enhance the operating comfort of switches, and reduce costs.
[0040] Preferably, the roller 2 is integrally injection molded onto the front end of the top pin 1 and is rotatably configured relative to the top pin 1. This configuration allows for rolling friction between the roller stop pin and the track, resulting in a smoother operating feel compared to conventional stop pins. Furthermore, compared to assembling the roller 2 at the front end of the top pin 1, integral injection molding simplifies the assembly process and prevents assembly gaps from causing roller 2 to shift, thus affecting the user experience.
[0041] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, a mounting hole 10 is provided at the rear end of the top pin 1, and a spring 3 is provided in the mounting hole 10 to provide elastic support for the top pin 1.
[0042] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the rotating shaft 20 includes a main shaft 200 and two cams 201 spaced apart on the main shaft 200. The rolling part 21 is disposed between the two cams 201 and sleeved on the main shaft 200. With this arrangement, the rolling part 21 will not have axial displacement during integral injection molding, and can be more stably combined with the main shaft 200.
[0043] Preferably, the rotating shaft 20 is made of POM material or PBT material.
[0044] Example 2:
[0045] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a roller stop pin structure, including a track disk 4 and an inner turntable 5 rotatably disposed on the inner ring of the track disk 4. The inner turntable 5 is provided with two two-color injection-molded integrated roller stop pins as described in Embodiment 1, which are symmetrically arranged around the center of the inner turntable 5. The inner ring of the track disk 4 is provided with a track portion 40, at least the track portion 40 is made of plastic material. Preferably, the track disk 4 is injection-molded from PA66 material, and the track portion 40 is a self-lubricating PA66 series material. During operation, some of the impact force is absorbed by the soft PA66 material track, reducing the risk of shifting gears.
[0046] In this embodiment, the inner turntable 5 is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 50 evenly arranged along its outer periphery. The top pin 1 is slidably disposed in the mounting groove 50. The bottom of the mounting groove 50 is provided with a positioning post 51 adapted to the spring 3, which ensures the stability of the spring 3. Under the action of the spring 3, the rolling part 21 abuts against the track part 40, thus providing an excellent user feel.
[0047] Optionally, the outer wall of the top pin 1 is provided with a through groove 11 along the axial direction. In this embodiment, a through groove 11 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the outer wall of the top pin 1. This can reduce the friction between the top pin 1 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 50, improve the smoothness of the mechanism, and positioning protrusions can also be provided at corresponding positions on the inner wall of the mounting groove 50 to improve the stability of the movement of the top pin 1.
[0048] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the top pin 1 is provided with a snap-fit protrusion 12, and the rear end of the snap-fit protrusion 12 is provided with an inclined surface 13. The lower side of the inclined surface is tilted backward. The inner turntable 5 is provided with a snap-fit interface 52 that is adapted to the snap-fit protrusion 12. The snap-fit protrusion 12 is slidably disposed in the snap-fit interface 52 along the axial direction of the mounting groove 50, thereby realizing the quick assembly of the integrated roller stop pin.
[0049] In summary, after reading this detailed disclosure, those skilled in the art will understand that the foregoing detailed disclosure is presented by way of example only and is not restrictive. Although not explicitly stated herein, those skilled in the art will understand that the requirements of this application encompass various reasonable changes, improvements, and modifications to the embodiments. These changes, improvements, and modifications are intended to be made by this application and are within the spirit and scope of the exemplary embodiments of this application.
[0050] Furthermore, it should be understood that in the foregoing description of the embodiments of this application, various features are combined in a single embodiment, drawing, or description for the purpose of simplifying the understanding of a feature. However, this does not mean that the combination of these features is necessary, and those skilled in the art may readily identify some of the devices as separate embodiments when reading this application.
