[0026] Example

[0027] The flange thread ball contact provided in this embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes: a cylindrical outer shell 1, a ball 2, and a spring 3. One end of the cylindrical outer shell 1 is an open end, and the other end is a closed end. An annular groove 101 is provided on the inner side of the open end of the cylindrical outer shell 1. An annular flange 103 is integrally provided on the outer side of the open end of the cylindrical outer shell 1. The annular flange 103 is used to prevent the entire flange from falling into the mounting hole when the flange threaded ball is installed, thereby improving the installation stability of the flange threaded ball. An external thread 102 is provided on the outer wall of the cylindrical outer shell 1. At least two notches 104 are provided on the annular flange 103. The notches 104 are provided for inserting tools such as screwdrivers to screw the cylindrical outer shell 1 into the mounting hole or nut, thereby making the installation of the flange threaded ball more convenient.

[0028] To prevent the ball 2 from falling off, the ball 2 is rotatably locked in the annular groove 101, with the ball 2 protruding from the annular groove 101 away from the cylindrical outer shell 1. To provide support for the ball 2 and improve its stability, the spring 3 is installed inside the cylindrical outer shell 1. To improve the stability of the spring 3, a post 301 is inserted into one end of the spring 3. A support block 302 is integrally provided at the end of the post 301 away from the spring 3. The side of the support block 302 is fitted against the inner wall of the cylindrical outer shell 1. The end face of the support block 302 away from the post 301 has an arc-shaped groove 303. The inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 303 of the support block 302 abuts against and fits against the surface of the ball 2. The end of the spring 3 away from the post 301 abuts against the inner wall of the closed end of the cylindrical outer shell 1.

[0029] The flange threaded ball using the above technical solution mainly consists of a cylindrical outer shell 1, a ball 2, and a spring 3. Under the action of the annular groove 101, the ball 2 can be prevented from detaching from the cylindrical outer shell 1, so that the ball 2 can be stably rotated and positioned within the annular groove 101. At the same time, the spring 3 provides continuous elastic support for the ball 2, enabling it to rotate flexibly and reset under the action of external force. This design improves the adaptability, durability, and stability of the positioning ball, and is suitable for various occasions that require positioning or guidance.

[0030] Meanwhile, the spring 3 can stably provide effective support for the ball 2 under the action of the insert post 301, the support block 302, and the arc groove 303, which can further improve the overall stability of the flange threaded ball.

[0031] In addition, the annular flange 103 is provided to prevent the flange threaded ball from falling into the mounting hole during installation, thereby improving the installation stability of the flange threaded ball. The notch 104 is provided for inserting tools such as screwdrivers to screw the cylindrical outer shell 1 into the mounting hole or the inside of the nut, thus making the installation of the flange threaded ball more convenient.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the insert 301 and the support block 302 are cylindrical, and the diameter of the insert 301 is smaller than the diameter of the support block 302, which can prevent the support block 302 from entering the interior of the spring 3 and failing to effectively support the ball 2.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cylindrical outer shell 1 is made of stainless steel, which has the advantages of being resistant to deformation and having a long service life.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to ensure the service life of the ball 2, the ball 2 is made of steel.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to ensure the service life of spring 3, spring 3 is made of stainless steel.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to improve safety and aesthetics, the outer edge of the closed end of the cylindrical shell 1 and the outer edge of the annular flange 103 are both rounded.

[0037] In summary, the flange threaded ball joint provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:

[0038] The flange threaded ball joint provided in this embodiment, through the combined design of a cylindrical outer shell 1, a ball 2, and a spring 3, combined with the structural features of the annular groove 101 and the annular flange 103, achieves stable rotational positioning of the ball 2, while improving the installation stability and convenience of the ball joint. The spring 3 provides stable and effective support for the ball 2 through the insert 301 and the support block 302, further enhancing the overall stability and durability of the ball joint. This design is suitable for various occasions requiring positioning or guidance, such as furniture, automobiles, and mechanical equipment.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] Cylindrical outer shell 1: As the main structure of the flange threaded ball joint, one end of the cylindrical outer shell 1 is an open end for installing the ball 2 and spring 3; the other end is a closed end for limiting the displacement of the spring 3. External threads 102 are provided on the outer wall of the cylindrical outer shell 1 for easy threaded connection with the mounting hole or nut. An annular groove 101 is provided on the inner side of the open end of the cylindrical outer shell 1 for securing the ball 2 and preventing it from falling out. An annular flange 103 is integrally provided on the outer side of the open end of the cylindrical outer shell 1 to improve installation stability and prevent the entire assembly from falling into the mounting hole or nut. At least two notches 104 are provided on the annular flange 103 for easy installation using tools such as screwdrivers.

[0041] 2. The ball 2 is rotatably engaged in the annular groove 101, with one end facing away from the cylindrical outer shell 1 protruding from the annular groove 101 to contact external objects and achieve a positioning function. The ball 2 is preferably made of steel ball to improve its hardness and wear resistance.

[0042] Spring 3: Spring 3 is installed inside the cylindrical outer shell 1 to provide continuous and stable elastic support for the ball 2. One end of spring 3 is fitted with a post 301, and the end of post 301 away from spring 3 has an integrally formed support block 302. The side of the support block 302 is fitted against the inner wall of the cylindrical outer shell 1, and its end face away from post 301 has an arc-shaped groove 303 that abuts against and fits against the surface of the ball 2. The other end of spring 3 abuts against the inner wall of the closed end of the cylindrical outer shell 1, providing elastic support for the ball 2.

[0043] Working process: When an external force is applied to ball 2, ball 2 rotates within the annular groove 101. Simultaneously, spring 3 provides elastic support to ball 2 through the insert post 301 and support block 302, allowing it to rotate flexibly and return to its original position. When the external force disappears, the elastic force of spring 3 returns ball 2 to its initial position, achieving the positioning function. Through the cooperation of external thread 102 and annular flange 103, the flange threaded ball can be easily installed into the desired position.

[0044] In summary, the flange threaded ball provided in this embodiment improves overall stability, ease of installation, and durability through optimized structural design, making it suitable for various occasions requiring positioning or guidance.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
