[0033] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a clearer, more thorough understanding of the present application and to convey the complete scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0034] Embodiment one

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The utility model provides a kind of brake structure with adjustable installation error, including horizontal pivot 1 and brake assembly 2, brake assembly 2 includes lifting mechanism 21 and brake mechanism 22.

[0036] Combined Figure 2 And Figure 5 It can be known that lifting mechanism 21 includes driving piece, top hat nut 212 and top rod 213, driving piece is in contact with one end of top hat nut 212, the other end of top hat nut 212 is threadedly connected with one end of top rod 213, the other end of top rod 213 is in contact with brake mechanism 22, and brake mechanism 22 is used to brake control for rotating wheel structure 100 during up and down lifting. Thus, driving piece drives the up and down lifting of top rod 213, so as to drive the lifting of brake mechanism 22, so that brake mechanism 22 can brake control for rotating wheel structure 100.

[0037] Among them, horizontal pivot 1 includes main shaft 11, and top hat nut 212 and top rod 213 are located in the hollow through hole 111 of main shaft 11, and the shell 110 of main shaft 11 is provided with opening 112 at the corresponding position of top hat nut 212. In the embodiment, the outer edge of top hat nut 212 is uniformly surrounded by a plurality of tooth-shaped grooves 2121, so that the corresponding position of opening 112 always has adjustable tooth-shaped grooves 2121. User only needs to extend into opening 112 by a ruler, and realizes rotation by jiggling top hat nut 212, so that the height of top rod 213 can be changed, to compensate for the tolerance of the matching parts on top rod 213 and brake mechanism 22, which may come from part production tolerance, or be caused by subsequent wear and tear.

[0038] In the embodiment, the shell 110 of main shaft 11 is provided with mounting hole at the position corresponding to opening 112, and the mounting hole can be screw hole. Here, the mounting hole can be opening 112 itself, or one or more new hole positions uniformly arranged along the same horizontal plane in the shell 110 of main shaft 11. The mounting hole is used to install caster in application scenarios such as hospital bed, trolley, etc.

[0039] Refer to Figure 4It can be seen that the driving member in the embodiment is a cam 211 located in the hollow through hole 111. The cam 211 is provided with a curved profile portion 2111, an adjusting portion and a stroke blocking portion 2113. The curved profile portion 2111 abuts against one end of the ejector rod 213, and the adjusting portion is arranged in the operable area of the horizontal shaft 1. In the embodiment, the adjusting portion is a hexagonal hole 2112, and the housing 110 of the main shaft 11 is provided with a transverse through hole 113 at the position corresponding to the hexagonal hole 2112. Thus, the hexagonal wrench is used to rotate the cam 211, so as to adjust the up and down of the ejector rod 213. In other embodiments, the adjusting portion can also be an adjusting hole of other shapes, such as a quadrangular hole, a pentagonal hole and the like, and a corresponding wrench can be used to rotate.

[0040] The stroke blocking portion 2113 abuts against the main shaft 11 when the curved profile portion 2111 contacts the ejector rod 213 at both ends of the stroke. In the embodiment, the stroke blocking portion 2113 is an ear portion on both sides of the cam 211. When the curved profile portion 2111 abuts against the ejector rod 213, the ear portion is suspended in the hollow through hole 111 and does not restrict the rotation of the cam 211. When the curved profile portion 2111 contacts the ejector rod 213 at both ends of the stroke, the ear portion is attached to the horizontal surface of the main shaft 11, so that the cam 211 cannot continue to rotate in the original direction, thereby limiting the adjustment range of the user to the cam 211 to be always the stroke range in which the curved profile portion 2111 abuts against the ejector rod 213.

[0041] In the embodiment, the brake mechanism 22 includes a main plate 221 and a brake inner tooth member 222. One end of the main plate 221 is provided with a U-shaped opening 223, and the U-shaped opening 223 is provided with two groups of first clamping portions 224 in the up and down direction. The ejector rod 213 is clamped with the main shaft 11 in the horizontal direction and is sleeved with a first elastic member 2132. The second clamping portion 2131 is arranged in the area close to the main plate 221 and is clamped with the two groups of first clamping portions 224 in the horizontal direction during the up and down movement. Thus, when the second clamping portion 2131 of the ejector rod 213 is clamped with the two groups of first clamping portions 224 in the horizontal direction, the horizontal shaft 1 stops rotating due to the clamping in the horizontal direction, and only when the second clamping portion 2131 of the ejector rod 213 is between the two first clamping portions 224, the horizontal shaft 1 can rotate freely.

[0042] It should be noted that the two groups of first clamping portions 224 can be of the same structure or different structures, and the corresponding second clamping portion 2131 is a same component or two components. The first clamping portion 224 can be local or surround a circle. For the specific structure of the first clamping portion 224 and the second clamping portion 2131, reference can be made to the description of the embodiment. Figure 2It can be seen that the upper first retaining part 224 is a flange structure, and the lower first retaining part 224 is a toothed structure. Both are provided on both sides of the U-shaped opening 223. The corresponding second retaining part 2131 includes an upper rotating disk structure and a lower gear structure. The rotating disk structure has a notch that connects with the flange, and the gear structure and the toothed structure are meshed together. Therefore, in this embodiment, the main shaft 11 has a greater locking force, smaller gap, and greater precision, and the casters can more easily travel in a straight line.

[0043] Among them, at least one brake internal gear 222 is provided on one side of the main board 221 and moves with the push rod 213. For example... Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, there is one brake internal gear 222 on each side of the main board 221.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, a lifting member 2133 is provided at the other end of the top rod 213, and a fourth elastic member 2134 is provided on both sides of the U-shaped opening 223. The lifting member 2133 moves up and down in the U-shaped opening 223, and both sides abut against the fourth elastic member 2134.

[0045] Specifically, the brake internal gear 222 includes a brake bracket 2221, a second elastic element 2222, and an annular gear 2223. One end of the brake bracket 2221 is movably connected to one end of the push rod 213. The side of the brake bracket 2221 away from the push rod 213 is abutted against the second elastic element 2222. The annular gear 2223 is fixedly connected to the brake bracket 2221, and at least one is provided on one side of the main board 221. Thus, the brake bracket 2221 moves with the push rod 213, thereby driving the annular gear 2223 to move, so as to movably connect with the rotating tooth 101 of the rotary wheel structure 100. Specifically, the annular gear 2223 and the rotating tooth 101 are respectively provided with dense triangular teeth. Through the bonding of multiple triangular teeth, the connection is tighter, the gap is smaller, and there is less wobbling.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first elastic element 2132, the second elastic element 2222 and the fourth elastic element 2134 are all spring structures, used to provide the rebound reset of the push rod 213 and the brake bracket 2221.

[0047] In this embodiment, the brake structure, except for the brake bracket 2221 and the ring gear 2223, is made of metal, which has the characteristics of high strength and long service life.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5The utility model provides a trundle, including the brake structure of one kind of installation error adjustable of embodiment one, brake mechanism 22 is in the up and down lifting process with the rotation tooth 101 of the rotation wheel structure 100 active connection to the brake control of rotation wheel structure 100, wherein, rotation wheel structure 100 refers to prior art, the utility model does not repeat.

[0050] In conclusion, for the trundle, the adjustment process of three gear working modes is as follows: the cam 211 is rotated through the inner hexagonal spanner, the top rod 213 is driven to go up and down, when the second clamping part 2131 of the top rod 213 is clamped with the upper first clamping part 224 in the horizontal direction, the horizontal rotating shaft 1 is affected by the top rod 213 and thus remains stationary, at this time, the annular tooth part 2223 on the brake mechanism 22 is not in contact with the rotation tooth 101, and does not affect the linear rotation of the rotation wheel structure 100, therefore, the trundle is in the straight mode. When the top rod 213 continues to descend, the second clamping part 2131 of the top rod 213 is between the two first clamping parts 224, and neither the horizontal rotating shaft 1 nor the rotation wheel structure 100 is constrained, therefore, the trundle is in the full free rotation mode. When the top rod 213 continues to descend, the second clamping part 2131 of the top rod 213 is clamped with the lower first clamping part 224 in the horizontal direction, the horizontal rotating shaft 1 is affected by the top rod 213 and thus remains stationary, and the rotation tooth 101 of the rotation wheel structure 100 is meshed by the annular tooth part 2223 on the brake mechanism 22 and thus remains stationary, thereby making the trundle be in the brake stationary mode.
