Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of brake wheel technology, and in particular relates to a simple traction brake wheel. Background Technology
[0002] A brake wheel is a special type of wheel that incorporates a braking mechanism into a regular wheel. Its main function is to prevent objects from slipping or rolling when they do not need to move, thus maintaining their stability. Brake wheels are typically installed on equipment requiring braking, such as suitcases.
[0003] Existing brake wheels mainly utilize a pull rope to control the movement of the brake components, which in turn controls the movement of two brake levers to prevent the wheel from rotating or sliding, thus achieving braking. To drive these two brake levers, the structure is often quite complex, especially the connection between the brake components and the pull rope. For example, a Chinese invention patent discloses a pull rope brake wheel and a suitcase (application number: 202311736023.4). In this design, the lower end of the pull rope has two connecting parts (i.e., an upper connecting part and a lower connecting part) connected to the brake components. These two connecting parts are further connected by a tension spring to ensure that the pull rope can smoothly drive the drive block to slide when pulled. Simultaneously, the two connecting parts and the tension spring are installed inside a connecting cylinder, and a side cover is placed on the connecting cylinder to achieve a stable connection between the pull rope and the brake components. This complex connection structure increases manufacturing and assembly costs and is prone to malfunctions during long-term use, reducing the reliability and lifespan of the device.
[0004] Therefore, the inventors dedicated themselves to designing a brake wheel to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a simple traction brake wheel with a simple structure, which can not only reduce manufacturing and assembly costs, but also prevent failures during long-term use, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the wheel.

[0012] As an improvement of the simple traction brake wheel of this utility model, a retaining ring is clamped between the pressure sleeve and the step inside the fixed seat. The retaining ring is sleeved on the outside of the protective tube. Multiple claws extend obliquely from the inner edge of the retaining ring towards the center of the retaining ring, and all the claws together clamp the protective tube.
[0013] As an improvement of the simple traction brake wheel of this utility model, the fixed wheel seat is connected to the wheel support through a hollow shaft. The upper end of the hollow shaft is engaged in the fixed wheel seat through a washer and a retaining ring, and the lower end of the hollow shaft is hung in the wheel support. The threaded joint is located in the hollow shaft.
[0014] As an improvement to the simple traction brake wheel of this utility model, the two brake components are slidably disposed in the wheel support in opposite directions and are elastically connected to the wheel support.

In order to prevent the protective tube 74 from detaching from the fixing wheel seat 11, an annular retaining ring 73 is clamped between the pressure sleeve 72 and the step inside the fixing seat 7. The retaining ring 73 is fitted on the outside of the protective tube 74. Multiple claws 731 extend obliquely from the inner edge of the retaining ring 73 towards the center of the retaining ring 73. All the claws 731 clamp the protective tube 74 together.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The inner wheel seat 2 is connected to the support seat 3 via a hollow shaft 71. The hollow shaft 71 passes through the support seat 3 and the inner wheel seat 2. The hollow shaft 71 is coaxially arranged with the fixed seat 7. The upper end of the hollow shaft 71 extends into the fixed seat 7 and is engaged with a retaining ring 22. A gasket 21 is provided in the fixing groove of the inner wheel seat 2. The retaining ring 22 is stacked on the gasket 21 so that the upper end of the hollow shaft 71 is engaged with the inner wheel seat 2 through the gasket 21 and the retaining ring 22. The retaining ring 22 and the gasket 21 are both located inside the lower end of the fixed seat 7. A boss is provided at the lower end of the hollow shaft 71.

The pull rope 8 is snapped into the groove 812, and the fixing block at its bottom is located in the mounting hole 811. The user can insert the fixing block at the end of the pull rope 8 into the mounting hole 811, and the lower end of the pull rope 8 can enter the groove 812 from the opening of the groove 812, thereby realizing the snapping of the pull rope 8 with the threaded connector 81.
[0039] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The upper end of the drive block 5 is shaft-shaped, and the top of the drive block 5 is provided with an insertion hole 53. The threaded connection part 813 is located in the insertion hole 53 and is threadedly connected to the insertion hole 53, so that the lower end of the threaded joint 81 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the drive block 5. The upper end of the drive block 5 is movably inserted into the hollow shaft 71. The bottom end of the drive block 5 extends outward to form a Z-shaped sliding part 52. The two opposite sides of the sliding part 52 are respectively provided with a sliding surface 51, and the two sliding surfaces 51 are staggered. The sliding part 52 at the lower end of the drive block 5 is inserted into the slot on the top surface of the wheel frame 4. The two brakes 6 are slidably disposed in the slot on the top surface of the wheel frame 4 and are elastically connected to the wheel frame 4. Each brake 6 includes a slider 61, a connecting rod 63 and a brake lever 62. The slider 61 is slidably disposed in the slot on the top surface of the wheel frame 4 and is elastically connected to the wheel frame 4. 62 is connected to slider 61 via connecting rod 63 to form a U-shape (i.e., the entire brake component 6 is U-shaped). Each slider 61 has an inclined surface 611 on the side near the drive block 5. The other side of each slider 61 opposite to its upper inclined surface 611 is elastically connected to the wheel frame 4 via a spring. The two inclined surfaces 611 are respectively slidably engaged with the two sliding surfaces 51. In this utility model, each slider 61 is integrally formed with the corresponding connecting rod 63 and brake rod 62. The two brake rods 62 point in opposite directions. The slider 61 and connecting rod 63 are both located in the slot of the wheel frame 4. When the brake wheel is in the braking state, the two brake rods 62 extend from the two side holes 41 to the outside of the wheel frame 4 and are inserted into the brake groove 751 of the corresponding wheel 75. In this utility model, the two brake rods 62 are located on the side of the rotating shaft and are perpendicular to the corresponding wheel 75.
[0040] Reference Figure 12The brake wheel of this utility model is mainly used on luggage. The luggage shell is sandwiched in the gap between the outer wheel seat 1 and the inner wheel seat 2. The protective tube 74 is connected to the brake control box 91 of the luggage. The upper end of the pull rope 8 is located inside the brake control box 91. The drive device inside the brake control box 91 can pull the pull rope 8, pull the drive block 5, and realize the braking action. The luggage pull rod 9 is located above the brake control box 91.
[0041] The working principle of this simple traction brake wheel is as follows:
[0042] Pulling the pull rope 8 outward causes the lower end of the pull rope 8 to move the threaded joint 81 upward inside the hollow shaft 71. The threaded joint 81 drives the drive block 5 to move upward, and the two sliders 61 slide outward and compress their respective springs, causing the two brake levers 62 to move outward along the corresponding side holes 41 until the left brake lever 62 is inserted into a brake groove 751 in the left wheel 75 and the right brake lever 62 is inserted into a brake groove 751 in the right wheel 75, locking the two wheels 75. At this time, the entire brake wheel is in a locked braking state.
[0043] Release the pull rope 8, and the two sliders 61 slide inward and reset under the action of their respective springs, causing the two brake levers 62 to move inward along the corresponding side holes 41 respectively. The drive block 5 and the threaded joint 81 move downward under the joint pressure of the two sliders 61 until the left brake lever 62 exits from the brake groove 751 of the left wheel 75 and the right brake lever 62 exits from the brake groove 751 of the right wheel 75, unlocking the two wheels 75. At this time, the entire brake wheel is in the unlocked state.
[0044] This utility model's simplified traction brake wheel uses a threaded connector 81 to directly connect the pull rope 8 to the drive block 5. One end of the threaded connector 81 is engaged with the pull rope 8, and the other end is threadedly connected to the drive block 5. This simplifies the connection structure between the pull rope 8 and the drive block 5, and simplifies the traction drive block 5. The entire brake wheel structure is simple, which not only reduces manufacturing and assembly costs, but also makes it less prone to failure during long-term use, thus improving the reliability and service life of the wheel.
[0045] The travel bag of this utility model has a brake wheel controlled by a pull rope 8 located at the bottom of the suitcase. The pull rope 8 is controlled by a brake control box 91 to achieve the purpose of quick braking, which is convenient for users.
[0046] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
