[0014] The technical scheme of the utility model will be further described in detail in combination with the embodiments and the drawings.

[0015] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5The utility model discloses a rotation limiting device of self-resetting structure, which comprises a sleeve and a rotating shaft in the sleeve. A plane bearing, an annular pad, a compression spring, a sleeve type lug, a limiting pin, a supporting bearing, a gasket and a screw are sequentially arranged on the rotating shaft in the axial direction from bottom to top. The plane bearing is clamped on the rotating shaft through a first step on the rotating shaft. The annular pad is sleeved on a second step of the rotating shaft and placed on the plane bearing. The compression spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and the lower end of the compression spring is in contact with the annular pad. The upper end of the compression spring is in contact with the lower bottom surface of the sleeve type lug. The sleeve type lug is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and the upper end surface of the sleeve type lug is an inclined truncated surface. A plurality of pits are arranged on the outer surface of the sleeve type lug. The limiting pin is fixed on a pin hole on the rotating shaft in an interference fit, and the end of the limiting pin protrudes from the rotating shaft and is clamped on the upper end surface of the sleeve type lug. The supporting bearing is fixed on the third step surface of the upper end of the rotating shaft. The sleeve is a circular truncated sleeve, and the inner cavity of the sleeve is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. A plurality of grooves are arranged on the surface of the inner cavity of the sleeve, and the design positions of the grooves correspond to the pits on the outer surface of the sleeve type lug. A plurality of balls are arranged in the pits, and the balls are located between the pits and the grooves. In order to ensure the stable working state of the sleeve type lug, the number of the pits and the grooves is more than three and is symmetrically distributed. The supporting bearing at the end of the rotating shaft is tightly matched with the upper opening of the sleeve, and the annular pad on the rotating shaft is tightly matched with the lower opening of the sleeve, so that the rotating shaft and the sleeve can rotate relative to each other. The gasket and the screw are used for fixing the supporting bearing.Thus, the end of the limiting pin 25 is clamped on the upper end surface 242 of the sleeve type protrusion 24 in the normal state of the self-resetting structure rotation limiting device, and the position is at the lowest part of the inclined surface, at this time, the rotation of the rotating shaft 2 relative to the sleeve 1 is driven by external force, because the upper cavity 11 of the sleeve is thin at the top and thick at the bottom, the sleeve type protrusion 24 is clamped in the upper cavity 11 of the sleeve by the ball 3 and cannot move, therefore, the end of the limiting pin 25 will slide along the upper end surface 242 of the protrusion under the driving of the rotating shaft 2, because the upper end surface 242 of the protrusion is an inclined surface, the rotating shaft 2 will gradually rise in the rotating process, and the compression spring 23 is compressed, at this time, the external force is eliminated, because of the action of the compression spring 23, the limiting pin 25 will slide down along the upper end surface 242 of the protrusion until it slides to the lowest part of the upper end surface 242 of the protrusion, and returns to the original position.

[0016] Further, the highest part of the inclined section of the upper end surface 242 of the protrusion is provided with a limiting block 2421 for limiting the stroke of the limiting pin 25, the upper opening 13 of the sleeve 1 is provided with an upper bearing step surface 131 for supporting the bearing 26, the lower opening 12 of the sleeve 1 is provided with a lower bearing step surface 121 for supporting the annular pad 22, the upper end edge of the rotating shaft 2 is provided with an upper fixed step surface 2D for supporting the bearing 26, and the rotating shaft 2 is further provided with a lower fixed step surface 2B for supporting the annular pad 22, so that the rotating shaft 2, the annular pad 22, the bearing 26 and the sleeve 1 can be more closely matched, and the working state is more stable.
