[0030] The technology, method and equipment known to ordinary skilled persons in the relevant field can not be discussed in detail, but under appropriate circumstances, the technology, method and equipment should be regarded as part of the specification.
[0031] As Figures 1-5 shown, the utility model provides a kind of shock absorbing caster, including: the bearing seat 1 for installing transport equipment, connecting piece 2 movably installed in bearing seat 1, wheel 3 installed on connecting piece 2 and shock absorbing spring set 4 arranged between bearing seat 1 and connecting piece 2;Wherein, shock absorbing spring set 4 includes multiple springs arranged in parallel, and multiple springs can participate in stress in batches as load increases.
[0032] Generally, the damping caster is installed at the bottom of the transportation equipment, and the connecting member 2 is movably installed in the vertical direction on the bearing seat 1. Under the action of the load, the spring arranged between the bearing seat 1 and the connecting member 2 can absorb the vibration and provide the supporting effect. Under the action of the empty load or the light load, part of the springs contained in the damping spring set 4 is preferentially compressed to provide the supporting force, at this time, the total stiffness of the damping spring set 4 is the sum of the stiffness of the part of the preferentially compressed springs, the damping spring set 4 has a smaller stiffness, which avoids that the stiffness of the spring set is too large under the action of the empty load or the light load, and the damping caster is too hard, and the damping effect is poor. With the increase of the load, the remaining springs in the spring set also begin to be compressed to provide the supporting force, at this time, the total stiffness of the damping spring set 4 is the sum of the stiffness of all the springs, the damping spring set 4 has a larger stiffness, which avoids that the stiffness of the spring set is too small under the action of the heavy load or the full load, and the damping caster is too soft, and the damping caster cannot be stably supported, and the damping effect and the stability of the damping caster under the action of different loads are effectively improved.
[0033] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the damping spring set 4 includes a first damping spring 401 and a second damping spring 402; wherein in the initial state, the two ends of the first damping spring 401 are connected to the bearing seat 1 and the connecting member 2 respectively, and one end of the second damping spring 402 is connected to the bearing seat 1 or the connecting member 2, and the other end is provided with a gap between the connecting member 2 or the bearing seat 1.
[0034] Specifically, the initial state refers to the state of the damping caster in the empty load and the static state after being installed on the transportation equipment. As shown in Figure 2 , the two ends of the first damping spring 401 are connected to the bearing seat 1 and the connecting member 2 respectively, and the top end of the second damping spring 402 is provided with a gap L between the bearing seat 1, under the action of the empty load or the light load, the first damping spring 401 is compressed under the action of the load, and the bearing seat 1 and the connecting member 2 keep the relative displacement in the vertical direction which is less than the gap L under the supporting action of the first damping spring 401, at this time, the total stiffness of the damping spring set 4 is the stiffness of the first damping spring 401. With the increase of the load, the first damping spring 401 is further compressed, the relative displacement between the bearing seat 1 and the connecting member 2 increases and is greater than the gap L, and the second damping spring 402 begins to be compressed under the action of the load and provide the supporting action, at this time, the total stiffness of the damping spring set 4 is the sum of the stiffness of the first damping spring 401 and the second damping spring 402, and the supporting stability of the damping caster is improved. By arranging the first damping spring 401 and the second damping spring 402 which can participate in the force in batches with the increase of the load between the bearing seat 1 and the connecting member 2, the damping effect of the damping caster under the empty load / light load working condition and the supporting stability under the heavy load / full load working condition are effectively improved.
[0035] AsFigure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the support base 1 includes a support plate 101, a plurality of first guide rods 102 that are parallel to each other and arranged in a ring on the bottom surface of the support plate 101, and a pressure ring 103 installed on the ends of the plurality of first guide rods 102 away from the support plate 101. The connecting member 2 includes a second guide rod 201 that is parallel to the first guide rods 102 and slidably disposed in the pressure ring 103, and a pressure plate 202 installed on the end of the second guide rod 201 facing the support plate 101. The pressure plate 202 is provided with a plurality of through holes 203 for the first guide rods 102 to pass through. A first damping spring 401 is sleeved on the first guide rod 102, and a second damping spring 402 is sleeved on the second guide rod 201.
[0036] Specifically, the bearing plate 101 is provided with fixing holes 104 for installing transport equipment. A plurality of first guide rods 102 are provided at the bottom of the bearing plate 101. The pressure plate 202 is provided with the same number of through holes 203 as the first guide rods 102. The pressure plate 202 is movably mounted on the plurality of first guide rods 102 along the extension direction of the first guide rods 102 by means of the plurality of through holes 203. The pressure ring 103 fixedly mounted on the end of the first guide rod 102 away from the bearing plate 101 plays the role of blocking the pressure plate 202 to prevent it from falling off. The connecting piece 2 is movably mounted on the bearing seat 1 vertically through the pressure plate 202 and the second guide rod 201 passing through the center hole of the pressure ring 103. The first damping spring 401 and the second damping spring 402 extend and contract axially under the guidance of the first guide rod 102 and the second guide rod 201 respectively to ensure the stability of the compression process.
[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the two first guide rods 102 are evenly arranged around the axis extending in the direction of the second guide rod 201, so as to avoid the first damping spring 401 and the second damping spring 402 providing support force deviating from the axis direction under load, which is beneficial to the stability of the shock-absorbing caster.
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting member 2 further includes a bearing 204 mounted on the end of the second guide rod 201 away from the support plate 101, and the wheel 3 is rotatably mounted on the bearing 204 about the second guide rod 201. Specifically, the inner ring of the bearing 204 is fixedly mounted on the end of the second guide rod 201, and the outer ring of the bearing 204 is fixedly mounted on the wheel 3. The wheel 3 achieves universal rotation relative to the connecting member 2 through the bearing 204. The bearing 204 can be a common ball bearing or a sliding bearing.
[0039] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some embodiments, two ends of the first damping spring 401 are connected to the bottom surface of the bearing plate 101 and the top surface of the pressing plate 202 respectively, one end of the second damping spring 402 is arranged on the bottom surface of the pressing ring 103 or the top surface of the bearing 204, and the other end can abut against the top surface of the bearing 204 or the bottom surface of the pressing ring 103.
[0040] Specifically, the radial dimension of the bearing 204 is greater than the second guide rod 201, so that one end of the second damping spring 402 sleeved on the second guide rod 201 can be connected to the top surface of the bearing 204 protruding the second guide rod 201. As shown in Figure 2 , in the initial state, the two ends of the first damping spring 401 abut against the bottom surface of the bearing plate 101 and the top surface of the pressing plate 202 respectively, one end of the second damping spring 402 is connected to the top surface of the bearing 204, and the other end has a gap L with the bottom surface of the pressing ring 103, so that the second damping spring 402 does not provide support in the no-load or light-load state. With the increase of load, the pressing ring 103 moves downward to contact and compress the second damping spring 402, and the second damping spring 402 starts to provide support.
[0041] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the wheel 3 includes a wheel frame 301 connected to the bearing 204 and a roller 302 mounted in the wheel frame 301. Specifically, the wheel frame 301 of the wheel 3 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the bearing 204, and the roller 302 is rotatably arranged in the wheel frame 301. The wheel frame 301 serves to connect and protect the roller 302, which is conducive to prolonging the service life of the roller 302 and facilitating the maintenance or replacement of parts of the damping caster.
[0042] In some embodiments, the roller 302 is made of polyurethane material. Specifically, the transport trolley for transporting liquid crystal carrier glass is usually used in a dust-free workshop. Compared with conventional PVC, rubber and other materials, polyurethane material has the advantages of wear resistance and silence, which effectively avoids the phenomenon of dust generated by friction between the roller 302 and the ground, and reduces the noise when the equipment walks. In other embodiments, the roller 302 can also be made of super artificial rubber material.
[0043] As shown in Figure 5 , in some embodiments, a plurality of buffer cavities 303 are arranged in the roller 302. Specifically, in order to further enhance the damping and silence effect of the roller 302, a plurality of buffer cavities 303 are arranged in the roller 302. The plurality of buffer cavities 303 can reduce vibration and absorb walking noise, effectively reduce the weight of the roller 302, and improve the durability and comfort of the damping caster.
[0044] AsFigure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the two ends of the first damping spring 401 and the second damping spring 402 are provided with rubber buffers 5.
[0045] Specifically, the two ends of the first damping spring 401 and the second damping spring 402 are connected to the bearing seat 1 and the connecting piece 2 through the rubber buffers 5, further improving the damping effect of the damping caster, while avoiding direct contact between the spring and the bearing seat 1 and the connecting piece 2, reducing wear and tear, and being conducive to improving the service life of the damping caster.
[0046] The utility model also provides a kind of transport equipment, which is installed with the above-mentioned damping caster, and the damping spring group 4 in the damping caster has smaller rigidity under no-load or light-load working condition, to avoid the caster being too hard under no-load or light-load working condition, improve the damping effect of the transport equipment, with load increasing, the damping spring group 4 in the damping caster has larger rigidity under heavy-load or full-load working condition, to provide sufficient support force for heavy-load or full-load working condition, improve the stability of the transport equipment.
