Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to a brake structure for a baby stroller. [Background Technology]

[0002] Most existing strollers have a braking mechanism. When the stroller stops, simply pressing the brake pedal locks the wheels, preventing the stroller from moving, avoiding accidents, and improving safety. However, existing stroller braking mechanisms generally come in two types: one locks a single wheel, requiring two separate brakes to brake the two rear wheels; the other locks both wheels simultaneously. This type of braking structure is complex, costly, inconvenient to assemble, and time-consuming to manufacture.

[0003] In addition, existing strollers have omnidirectional front wheels but the rear wheels cannot rotate in all directions. This makes them inconvenient and inflexible in certain operations, such as when moving laterally. Some strollers with omnidirectional front and rear wheels lack a directional mechanism for the rear wheels, which can easily rotate when moving forward normally, affecting the stroller's movement. Therefore, these strollers all have the problem of being inconvenient to use. [Summary of the Invention]

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a stroller brake structure that is simple in structure, compact in fit, easy to assemble, reasonably designed, short in manufacturing time, low in cost, and applicable to various types of strollers.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0006] A stroller brake structure includes a horizontal tube connecting a left wheel assembly and a right wheel assembly. The horizontal tube contains a pair of horizontally movable crossbars. A pedal and a transmission sleeve that can rotate via the pedal are mounted on the horizontal tube. A transmission pin is provided between the transmission sleeve, the horizontal tube, and the crossbars. Rotation of the transmission sleeve causes the pair of crossbars to slide outwards. Both the left and right wheel assemblies have sliding components that push the crossbars downwards when they slide outwards, and reset components that reset the sliding components. The sliding components include locking components that can slide up and down. Both the left and right wheel assemblies also include tires. Each tire has multiple locking grooves on one side for the locking components to engage.

[0007] The stroller brake structure described above is characterized in that the outer sides of the pair of crossbars are provided with a pushing slope that allows the locking member to move downwards.

[0008] The stroller brake structure described above is characterized in that the pedal includes a tubular part fitted onto a transmission sleeve, the inner wall of the tubular part is provided with a protrusion, the outer wall of the transmission sleeve is provided with a groove that mates with the protrusion, the transmission sleeve is also provided with at least one pair of guide grooves, the pair of transmission pins are inserted into the pair of guide grooves, the horizontal tube is provided with a pair of horizontal grooves for the pair of transmission pins to be inserted, and the pair of horizontal bars are each provided with a horizontal bar hole for the transmission pins to be inserted.

[0009] The stroller brake structure described above is characterized in that the guide groove includes a pair of first figure-eight shaped grooves provided on one side of the transmission sleeve, and a pair of second figure-eight shaped grooves provided on the symmetrical position of the transmission sleeve in mirror orientation to the first figure-eight shaped grooves.

[0010] The stroller brake structure described above is characterized in that both the left wheel assembly and the right wheel assembly further include an H-shaped frame, the H-shaped frame is provided with a pivot seat, the sliding assembly further includes a sliding rod provided on the pivot seat, the lower part of the sliding rod is provided with a connecting block, the connecting block is provided with a connecting block transverse groove, a T-shaped transmission block is inserted into the connecting block transverse groove, and a locking member is provided in the H-shaped frame, the upper end of which abuts against the T-shaped transmission block.

[0011] The stroller brake structure described above is characterized in that a hollow shaft is provided on the pivot seat, a sliding rod is inserted into the hollow shaft, a connecting seat is provided on the pivot seat, the connecting seat is inserted into the hollow shaft, the connecting seat is provided with a transverse connecting part, and the two ends of the transverse tube are connected to the transverse connecting part.

[0012] The stroller brake structure described above is characterized in that a locking pin that can rotate with the connecting seat is provided between the hollow shaft and the connecting seat, the side wall of the locking pin is provided with a positioning groove, a positioning locking block that can slide in the positioning groove is provided, and the pivot seat is provided with a positioning locking groove for the positioning locking block to be inserted.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This invention relates to a braking mechanism where, when the brake pedal is depressed, the pedal rotates the transmission sleeve, which in turn moves the pair of transmission pins laterally outward. This movement, in turn, causes the pair of crossbars to move laterally outward, pushing the locking member of the sliding assembly downward. The locking member then engages with the locking groove of the tire, thus achieving braking. This invention features a simple structure, compact fit, convenient assembly, reasonable design, short manufacturing time, low cost, and applicability to various types of strollers.

[0017] This invention features a locking pin that rotates with the connecting seat between the hollow shaft and the connecting seat. The locking pin has a positioning groove on its side wall, within which a positioning locking block and a positioning locking block spring slide. The pivot seat has a positioning locking groove for the positioning locking block to insert into. The stroller has a rope that can move the positioning locking block. Pulling the rope disengages the positioning locking block from the positioning locking groove, allowing the pivot seat to rotate freely, thus enabling the tire to rotate freely and form a swivel wheel. When the rope is released, the positioning locking block returns to its original position under the action of the positioning locking block spring, inserting into the positioning locking groove. The pivot seat is then locked, and the tire is locked in one position, allowing the tire to be easily switched between a swivel wheel and a fixed wheel. [Attached Image Description]
