[0034] The specific embodiment is a caster, a structural schematic diagram of which is shown in Figures 1-6 .

[0035] Embodiment one

[0036] The caster comprises a bottom plate 1 and a support 2, a single wheel 3, a wave plate 4, an adjusting mechanism 5 and a buffer mechanism 6, the middle position of the bottom plate 1 is fixedly installed with an extension column 101 extending to the inside of the support 2, the single wheel 3 is rotatably installed in the inside of the support 2, the wave plate 4 is fixedly installed in the inside of the support 2, the adjusting mechanism 5 is arranged in the inside of the support 2, and the adjusting mechanism 5 is used for adjusting the height of the single wheel 3, the buffer mechanism 6 is arranged between the bottom plate 1 and the support 2, and the buffer mechanism 6 is used for absorbing vibration when the caster moves, thereby improving the stability when the caster moves.

[0037] The adjusting mechanism 5 comprises an adjusting disc 501 rotatably installed in the inside of the support 2, an adjusting rod 502 fixedly installed at the bottom of the adjusting disc 501, a base 503 threadedly connected with the adjusting rod 502, and a bottom pad 504 fixedly installed at the outside of the base 503;

[0038] One end of the extension column 101 extending to the inside of the support 2 is fixedly installed on the wave plate 4, a stepped groove is formed in the inside of the extension column 101, and the middle part of the adjusting disc 501 is rotatably installed on the extension column 101;

[0039] A plurality of pull rods 507 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the adjusting disc 501, and the plurality of pull rods 507 are arranged in a ring array on the outer surface of the adjusting disc 501, and a notch is formed in the support 2 for operating the pull rod 507 to rotate the adjusting disc 501, so that the user can conveniently rotate the pull rod 507 and the adjusting disc 501;

[0040] The pull rod 507 is rotated to drive the adjusting disc 501 to rotate, which can drive the adjusting rod 502 to synchronously rotate, when the adjusting rod 502 rotates clockwise, the base 503 threadedly connected with the adjusting rod 502 can move downward, the base 503 can drive the bottom pad 504 fixedly installed on the base 503 to synchronously move downward in the process of moving downward, and the height of the single wheel 3 can be raised in the process of moving downward of the base 503 and the bottom pad 504;

[0041] Similarly, when the adjusting rod 502 rotates counterclockwise, the base 503 and the bottom pad 504 can move upward, and the height of the single wheel 3 can be lowered in the process of moving upward of the base 503 and the bottom pad 504;

[0042] Therefore, the adjusting mechanism 5 of the present application can freely adjust the height of the single wheel 3.

[0043] The bottom pad 504 is slidably installed in the interior of the support 2 through a sliding assembly, the sliding assembly comprises a sliding groove 505 formed on the outer surface of the bottom pad 504 and a sliding rod 506 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support 2, and the sliding rod 506 is matched with the sliding groove 505, and the bottom pad 504 is slidably installed in the interior of the support 2 through the cooperation of the sliding groove 505 and the sliding rod 506;

[0044] Due to the cooperation of the sliding groove 505 and the sliding rod 506, the base 503 cannot be rotated synchronously with the adjusting rod 502 during the rotation of the adjusting rod 502, but the base 503 moves in the vertical direction during the rotation, and the cooperation of the sliding groove 505 and the sliding rod 506 can guide the movement of the base 503 and the bottom pad 504, so that the movement of the base 503 and the bottom pad 504 is more stable.

[0045] The buffer mechanism 6 comprises a bearing cover 601 fixedly installed on the top wall of the support 2, a lower bearing cover 602 fixedly installed on the top of the support 2, and a plurality of balls 603 installed between the bearing cover 601 and the wave plate 4 and between the lower bearing cover 602 and the bottom plate 1, and the top of the wave plate 4 and the bottom of the bottom plate 1 are provided with ball grooves for rolling of the balls 603;

[0046] When encountering bumps and vibrations during movement, the bearing cover 601, the wave plate 4 and the balls 603 cooperate with each other to effectively absorb the vibrations, improve the stability of the equipment, and have good buffering effect, so that the service life of the caster is prolonged. When an object with balls is subjected to external vibration, the balls will roll and generate friction. In this process, the vibration energy is converted into heat energy and sound energy, thereby reducing the transmission of vibration and effectively absorbing the vibration.

[0047] Embodiment two

[0048] The same as the embodiment one, the difference between the embodiment one and the embodiment two is that an extension rod 508 is sleeved on one of the lever rods 507 to facilitate the rotation of the adjusting disc 501, a spring cavity is formed in the interior of each lever rod 507, a spring 509 is installed in the interior of the spring cavity, one end of the spring 509 is fixedly installed in the interior of the spring cavity, a connecting plate 510 is fixedly installed on the other end of the spring 509, the connecting plate 510 is slidably installed in the interior of the spring cavity, a limiting column 511 is fixedly installed on the end of the connecting plate 510 away from the spring 509, and a limiting hole matched with the limiting column 511 is formed in the extension rod 508, and when the extension rod 508 is sleeved on the lever rod 507, the limiting column 511 penetrates through the lever rod 507 and extends into the limiting hole;

[0049] The extension rod 508 is sleeved on any one of the poking rods 507, and the extension rod 508 is a hollow structure, which facilitates the extension rod 508 to be sleeved on any one of the poking rods 507. First, the limiting column 511 is pressed to be pressed into the inside of the spring cavity, so that the extension rod 508 is pulled out of the extension and does not separate from the poking rod 507. At this time, the overall length of the poking rod 507 is increased under the action of the extension rod 508. In this way, the extension rod 508 can drive the poking rod 507 and the adjusting disc 501 to rotate only by rotating the extension rod 508, and the operation is convenient.

[0050] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, and these modifications or replacements should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
