Furthermore, foot pedals for braking are provided on both sides of the housing, facilitating braking operation of the rollers even after the caster changes direction.

[0004] The device described above uses two telescopic rods between the housing and the support plate to reduce the vibration of the rollers and achieve buffering and shock absorption. According to the instruction manual and the attached drawings, the device uses a return spring for reset. However, the return spring will fatigue after a long period of use, and the tension will change, resulting in failure to reset properly and causing inconvenience in use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that the above-mentioned device can reduce the vibration of the roller by setting two telescopic rods between the housing and the support plate, thereby achieving buffering and shock absorption of the roller. According to the specification and drawings, the device uses a return spring for reset. However, the return spring will fatigue after a long period of use, and the tension will change, resulting in failure to reset properly and causing inconvenience in use. Therefore, this utility model provides an adjustable polyethylene roller assembly.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable polyethylene roller assembly, comprising a housing, rollers, and a return spring. Rotary shafts are symmetrically fixedly mounted at both ends of the rollers. A connecting plate is provided at one end of each rotating shaft, and the connecting plate is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. A connecting seat is slidably connected to one end of the connecting plate, and an adjusting sleeve is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting seat. A mounting seat is provided at one end of the adjusting sleeve. A threaded rod is fixedly mounted at one end of the mounting seat, and the threaded rod is connected through the adjusting sleeve. A rotating handle is rotatably connected to one end of the adjusting sleeve, and the rotating handle is threadedly connected to the threaded rod. A second mounting seat is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the housing, and a telescopic rod is fixedly mounted between the first and second mounting seats.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an adjusting screw is rotatably connected inside the connecting plate, and the adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the connecting seat; an adjusting handle is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting plate, and the adjusting screw passes through the connecting plate and is fixedly installed with the adjusting handle.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: the connecting plate has a sliding groove inside, and the sliding groove is symmetrically opened inside the connecting plate. The connecting seat has sliders fixedly installed symmetrically at both ends, and the sliders are slidably adapted to the sliding groove.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a limiting plate is fixedly installed at one end of the telescopic rod, and the limiting plates are symmetrically fixedly installed at both ends of the telescopic rod, with a return spring fixedly installed in the middle of the two sets of limiting plates.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, a connecting rod is fixedly installed at the top of the housing.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] In this utility model, by rotating the handle, axial force is generated by the threaded transmission, which drives the mounting base to move along the axial direction of the telescopic rod, so that the telescopic rod is stretched or compressed. Since the return spring is installed in the middle of the limit plates at both ends of the telescopic rod, the change of the length of the telescopic rod will change the distance between the limit plates, thereby adjusting the tension of the return spring. The operation is simple and the tension of the return spring can be flexibly changed according to the needs.

[0014] In this invention, rotating the adjustment handle allows the connecting seat to slide via threaded transmission and guide groove, thereby changing the position of related components and finely adjusting the tension of the reset spring to meet different working conditions.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment of the utility model, an adjustable polyethylene roller assembly includes a housing 1, a roller 4, and a return spring 14. Rotary shafts 5 are symmetrically fixedly installed at both ends of the roller 4. A connecting plate 6 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 5, and the connecting plate 6 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 5. A connecting seat 7 is slidably connected to one end of the connecting plate 6, and an adjusting sleeve 8 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting seat 7. A mounting seat 9 is provided at one end of the adjusting sleeve 8. A threaded rod 10 is fixedly installed at one end of the mounting seat 9, and the threaded rod 10 is connected through to the adjusting sleeve 8. A rotating handle 11 is rotatably connected to one end of the adjusting sleeve 8, and the rotating handle 11 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 10. A second mounting seat 12 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 1, and a telescopic rod 13 is fixedly installed in the middle of the first mounting seat 9 and the second mounting seat 12.

[0024] The above solution is adopted as follows: the return spring 14 is the prior art mentioned in the reference document, the roller 4 is made of polyethylene, and the telescopic rod 13 is made of KOMPERDELL. Through "carbon fiber F200+ technology", the breaking strength is improved without increasing the weight, and the elastic deformation is used to absorb and disperse energy to achieve the shock absorption effect.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 5An adjusting screw 18 is rotatably connected inside the connecting plate 6, and the adjusting screw 18 is threadedly connected to the connecting seat 7. An adjusting handle 19 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting plate 6, and the adjusting screw 18 passes through the connecting plate 6 and is fixedly installed with the adjusting handle 19. A sliding groove 17 is opened inside the connecting plate 6, and the sliding groove 17 is symmetrically opened inside the connecting plate 6. Slider 16 is symmetrically fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting seat 7, and the slider 16 slides and the sliding groove 17 are adapted to slide.

[0026] The above solution allows the connecting seat 7 to slide by rotating the adjusting handle 19 via threaded transmission and guide by the slide groove 17, thereby changing the position of the connecting seat and finely adjusting the tension of the return spring 14 to meet different working conditions. The support angle of the telescopic rod 13 can be adjusted as needed. When it is at 90 degrees, it provides vertical support and mainly bears vertical force to ensure the stability of the device. When adjusted to one side high and the other side low, it can adapt to different working requirements and stress conditions, increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the device and enabling it to cope with complex working conditions.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 5 One end of the telescopic rod 13 is fixedly installed with a limiting plate 15, and the limiting plates 15 are symmetrically fixedly installed at both ends of the telescopic rod 13. A return spring 14 is fixedly installed in the middle of the two sets of limiting plates 15. One end of the housing 1 is slidably connected with a foot pedal 3, and the foot pedal 3 is symmetrically slidably connected to both ends of the housing 1. A connecting rod 2 is fixedly installed at the top of the housing 1.

[0028] The above solution is adopted: the foot pedal 3 is the prior art referenced in the prior art document, which drives the clamping blocks (not shown in the figure) inside the housing 1 to move closer to each other and brake the roller 4. The top of the connecting rod 2 is provided with a threaded groove for installation.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the tension of the return spring 14 on the outer periphery of the telescopic rod 13 changes and needs to be adjusted, the rotating handle 11 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 10. When the operator rotates the rotating handle 11, due to the thread transmission principle, the rotating handle 11 moves in a circular motion around the threaded rod 10, generating an axial force. The threaded rod 10 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 9. Under the action of the axial force generated by the rotating handle 11, the mounting base 9 moves along the axial direction of the telescopic rod 13. The two ends of the telescopic rod 13 are respectively connected to the mounting base 9 and the mounting base 12. The axial movement of the mounting base 9 causes the telescopic rod 13 to be stretched or compressed, changing its length. The return spring 14 is installed in the middle of the limiting plates 15 at both ends of the telescopic rod 13. As the length of the telescopic rod 13 changes, the distance between the two sets of limiting plates 15 changes accordingly. When the telescopic rod 13 is stretched, the distance between the limiting plates 15 increases, the return spring 14 is stretched, and the tension increases; when the telescopic rod 13 is compressed, the limiting plate 15 is compressed, and the tension increases. When the spacing between plates 15 decreases, the tension of the return spring 14 decreases, thereby adjusting the tension of the return spring 14. When the adjustment handle 19 is rotated, the adjustment screw 18 fixedly connected to it rotates accordingly. Since the adjustment screw 18 is threadedly connected to the connecting seat 7, and the sliders 16 at both ends of the connecting seat 7 are slidably adapted to the sliding groove 17 inside the connecting plate 6, under the dual action of threaded transmission and sliding groove guidance, the connecting seat 7 produces sliding displacement along the sliding groove 17. The sliding of the connecting seat 7 causes the adjustment sleeve 8 and mounting seat 1 9, which are rotatably connected to it, to change their positions. The telescopic rod 13 and the return spring 14 are installed between the mounting seat 1 9 and the mounting seat 2 12. After the position of the mounting seat 1 9 changes, the relative angle and distance between the mounting seat 1 9 and the mounting seat 2 12 will change, thereby changing the extension and retraction state of the telescopic rod 13, and at the same time adjusting the degree of tension or compression of the return spring 14, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the tension of the return spring 14, thus meeting the usage requirements under different working conditions.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
