Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of pulleys, in particular to a shock-absorbing pulley for luggage. BACKGROUND

[0002] Pulleys are widely used in luggage, office chairs and other places that require convenient movement due to their small rolling friction, flexible and portable movement. When in use, the user only needs to install the pulley on the installation surface, which greatly improves the movement efficiency of the object and the user experience.

[0003] In order to improve the practicability of the pulley and the convenience of the user, the pulley usually has a locking function, usually a friction locking structure, that is, the locking function is realized by driving the locking piece to move close to the pulley. When the locking piece abuts against the pulley, it will limit the continued rotation of the pulley. In addition, some pulleys use gear locking structure to realize the locking of the pulley, which is conducive to popularization and application.

[0004] However, for the pulley with friction locking structure, after the locking piece locks the pulley, the pulley still bears the rolling friction. When the locking force exerted by the locking piece on the pulley is less than the rolling friction borne by the pulley, the pulley will be in a rotating state relative to the locking piece. At the same time, for the pulley with gear locking structure, the locking force is realized by the mutual engagement of the locking gears. The mechanical mechanism is complex, which is not conducive to the maintenance of the pulley, and there is room for improvement. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The following will be combined with the Figures 1-7 The application is further described in detail.

[0036] The embodiment of the application discloses a shock-absorbing pulley for a luggage. Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The application discloses a shock-absorbing pulley for a luggage bag, which comprises a bearing seat 1, a roller 2 and a locking assembly 3, the roller 2 is rotatably borne on the bearing seat 1, a plurality of locking grooves 4 are circumferentially arranged in the roller 2, the locking assembly 3 comprises a driving piece 31 and a locking rod 32, the driving piece 31 is rotatably borne on the bearing seat 1, the locking rod 32 is slidably arranged on the bearing seat 1, a guide part 321 is arranged on the driving piece 31, when the roller 2 is in a rotating state, the guide part 321 abuts against the locking rod 32, when the driving piece 31 rotates along the bearing seat 1 until the guide part 321 is separated from the locking rod 32, the end of the locking rod 32 is located in the locking groove 4.

[0037] Firstly, it should be noted that the specific number of the locking grooves 4 can be increased or decreased according to the actual size and design requirements of the roller 2, and the specific number is not limited here.

[0038] Specifically, the bearing seat 1 is provided with a mounting hole 12 penetrating in the thickness direction, a rotating shaft 8 is mounted in the mounting hole 12, the roller 2 is mounted on both ends of the rotating shaft 8 in the length direction and is rotatably connected with the rotating shaft 8, and the roller 2 and the rotating shaft 8 are connected in a conventional manner in the mechanical field (for example, connected through a bearing), and the specific connection manner is not described here.

[0039] Further, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the bearing seat 1 on one side of the mounting hole 12 is provided with a mounting position 13 for mounting the driving piece 31, the bearing seat 1 at the mounting position 13 is provided with a penetrating hole 9 penetrating in the thickness direction, and the driving piece 31 is provided with a connecting hole penetrating in the thickness direction, the connecting hole and the penetrating hole 9 are concentrically arranged, and a connecting shaft 10 is penetratingly arranged in the connecting hole and the penetrating hole 9, so as to realize the rotating connection between the driving piece 31 and the bearing seat 1.

[0040] Correspondingly, the bearing seat 1 is provided with a guide groove 11, the locking rod 32 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 11, and the tolerance fit relationship between the groove width of the guide groove 11 and the width of the locking rod 32 is gap fit, so as to reduce the probability of the locking rod 32 being stuck when the locking rod 32 moves along the guide groove 11, and improve the smoothness of the locking rod 32 sliding along the sliding groove.

[0041] The guide groove 11 is located between the mounting hole 12 and the through hole 9. In order to avoid displacement of the locking rod 32 along the thickness direction of the bearing seat 1 when the locking rod 32 slides in the guide groove 11, a guide shaft 101 is arranged at the midpoint of the length direction of the locking rod 32, and the spatial position relationship between the guide shaft 101 and the locking rod 32 is vertically arranged. At the same time, a guide hole 102 is arranged on the bearing seat 1, so that the guide shaft 101 can smoothly slide along the guide hole 102. When the locking rod 32 is located in the guide groove 11, the guide shaft 101 is located in the guide hole 102, so as to limit the longitudinal displacement of the locking rod 32 in the guide groove 11.

[0042] At the same time, referring to Figure 6 , the locking assembly 3 further comprises a reset spring 33, one end of the reset spring 33 along the length direction abuts against the side of the locking rod 32 away from the guide portion 321, and the other end of the reset spring 33 abuts against the bearing seat 1. The reset spring 33 is used to drive the locking rod 32 to move towards the guide portion 321. The reset spring 33 is located in the guide hole 102, and the end of the reset spring 33 abutting against the locking rod 32 is movably arranged on the guide shaft 101. The elastic potential energy stored in the reset spring 33 can drive the locking rod 32 to move away from the guide hole 102. By driving the locking rod 32 to move towards the guide portion 321 through the reset spring 33, the probability of the locking rod 32 being stuck in the clamping groove due to the sliding state of the locking rod 32 along the guide groove 11 when the roller 2 rotates and the driving member 31 is not subjected to external force is reduced.

[0043] In addition, the side of the locking rod 32 facing the guide portion 321 is provided with a guide surface 5. The guide surface 5 is used to guide the guide portion 321 to move along the locking rod 32. The guide surface 5 is inclinedly arranged along the upper surface of the bearing seat 1 to the lower surface of the bearing seat 1. Through the guiding effect of the guide surface 5, the path of the guide portion 321 moving along the locking rod 32 is limited, the force borne by the locking rod 32 when moving towards the guide portion 321 is reduced, and the rate of mechanical loss of the locking rod 32 and / or the guide portion 321 due to friction is slowed down.

[0044] Correspondingly, the guide surface 5 is arranged with a rounded corner. Since the guide surface 5 is arranged with a rounded corner, the smoothness of the guide portion 321 during the movement towards the locking rod 32 is improved, mechanical jamming is reduced, and the force generated when the locking rod 32 and the guide portion 321 move relative to each other is further reduced.

[0045] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3Further comprising a mounting seat 6 and a damping spring 7, the mounting seat 6 is used for connecting the mounting surface, one end of the mounting seat 6 is rotatably connected with the bearing seat 1, one end of the damping spring 7 is abutted with the mounting seat 6, the other end of the damping spring 7 is abutted with the bearing seat 1, and the damping spring 7 is used for applying a reverse force to the mounting seat 6 when the mounting seat 6 bears a force.

[0046] Specifically, the mounting seat 6 comprises a base 61 and a rotating part 62, the base 61 is used for connecting the mounting surface, the rotating part 62 is rotatably connected with the base 61, and the rotating function (0°~any angle rotation) of the pulley is realized through the rotating cooperation of the base 61 and the rotating part 62, thereby improving the user experience, wherein the rotating part 62 is located at one end of the bearing seat 1 away from the guide groove 11, and at the same time, a limiting groove is opened at one end of the bearing seat 1 towards the rotating part 62, and the damping spring 7 is installed in the limiting groove, thereby limiting the installation position of the damping spring 7, reducing the instability of the damping spring 7 cooperating with the rotating part 62 and the bearing seat 1, and reducing the probability of the damping spring 7 falling off between the rotating part 62 and the bearing seat 1.

[0047] Therefore, when the base 61 bears a force, the damping spring 7 will also bear a force applied by the base 61, so as to store elastic potential energy of the damping spring 7, provide a reverse force for the base 61, provide damping capacity for the base 61, and positively guide the improvement of the user experience.

[0048] The implementation principle of the damping pulley for the luggage bag is that a plurality of locking grooves 4 are opened on the roller 2, when it is needed to lock along the bearing seat 1, a force is applied to the driving part 31, so that the driving part 31 rotates along the bearing seat 1, when the guide part 321 is separated from the locking rod 32, the end of the locking rod 32 can be located in the locking groove 4, so as to achieve the purpose of locking the roller 2, and when it is needed to unlock the roller 2 along the bearing seat 1, the guide part 321 is in abutment with the locking rod 32, so as to limit the locking cooperation of the locking rod 32 and the locking groove 4, the mechanical structure is simple, and the convenience of the pulley locking is positively guided.

[0049] The above are the preferred embodiments of the present application, which do not limit the protection scope of the present application, so that: any equivalent changes made on the structure, shape and principle of the present application should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
