Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of omnidirectional wheel technology, specifically a dual-axis suspended omnidirectional wheel. Background Technology
[0002] Casters, also known as swivel casters, are designed to rotate 360 degrees horizontally. "Caser" is a general term encompassing both swivel and fixed casters. Fixed casters lack a rotating mechanism and can only rotate vertically, not horizontally. These two types of casters are typically used together. For example, a handcart typically has two fixed wheels at the front and two swivel casters near the push handle at the rear. A swivel caster is defined as a support bracket mounted on the caster wheel that allows it to rotate 360 degrees horizontally under both dynamic and static loads.
[0003] For example, the authorization announcement number "CN202169845U" describes a double-row universal wheel for bags. The bottom of the pulley bracket adopts a double-row wheel structure, which has better load-bearing capacity, stable rotation, simple structure, and good working stability. Existing double-row universal wheels for bags use double rows of wheels to improve load-bearing capacity, but the bracket of the two wheels is set in the middle of the wheels. Therefore, the two wheels are actually only stressed on one side. As a result, after the universal wheel has been used under heavy load for a long time, the lower end of the two wheels will tilt to both sides, which makes the load-bearing structure of the universal wheel less stable and reduces the service life of the universal wheel. Utility Model Content

The universal wheel can be connected to the equipment, vehicle body, bag, etc. that need to be fixed by the connecting column 3 protruding above the mounting plate 2. The mounting plate 2 is rotatably set above the support plate 1. The mounting plate 2 can fit the vehicle body or bag that needs to be fixed. It is reinforced and fixed by screwing in a smaller screw through the fixing hole 4. Multiple fixing holes 4 are fixedly opened on the outer side of the top of the mounting plate 2. The lower end of the support plate 1 is provided with a double row of stable universal wheel support structure 5. The upper part of the support plate 1 is provided with a sealed lateral rotation structure 7.
[0022] The double-row stable universal wheel support structure 5 includes a horizontal plate 51 and side plates 52. The horizontal plate 51 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the support plate 1. The horizontal plate 51 is used to support the side plates 52 on both sides and the vertical support frame 53 in the middle. The two side plates 52 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the horizontal plate 51. The inner side of the two side plates 52 is fixedly connected to a horizontal shaft 54. The horizontal shaft 54 passes through the side plates 52 and the support frame 53 in sequence. The threaded heads 56 protruding at both ends of the horizontal shaft 54 can be screwed into nuts 55 for locking and fixing. The two ends of the horizontal shaft 54 are fixedly connected to the threaded heads 56.
[0023] Nuts 55 are threaded to the outer sides of the two threaded heads 56. The lower end of the cross plate 51 is fixedly connected to the support frame 53 by rivets. The support frame 53 provides support and balance force to the middle of the two wheel bodies 63. The side plate 52 provides lateral support to the two separate wheel bodies 53 on both sides. Therefore, the wheel body 63 can withstand long-term heavy load work and reduce deformation and tilting problems. The lower inner side of the support frame 53 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cross shaft 54.
[0024] The horizontal plate 51 is fixed to the lower end of the support plate 1. The horizontal plate 51 is used to support the side plates 52 on both sides and the vertical support frame 53 in the middle. The horizontal shaft 54 passes through the side plates 52 and the support frame 53 in sequence. The threaded heads 56 protruding at both ends of the horizontal shaft 54 can be screwed into nuts 55 for locking and fixing. The lower end of the horizontal plate 51 is fixedly connected to the support frame 53 by rivets. The support frame 53 provides support and balance force to the middle of the two wheels 63. The side plates 52 provide lateral support to the two separate wheels 53 on both sides. Therefore, the wheels 63 can withstand long-term heavy-duty work, reduce deformation and tilting problems, and improve the service life of the dual-axis floating universal wheels.
[0025] The inner side of the side plate 52 is provided with a universal wheel structure 6. The universal wheel structure 6 includes a positioning groove 61 and a wheel body 63. The two positioning grooves 61 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side plate 52. The two positioning grooves 61 are rotatably connected to the inside of the two positioning grooves 61. The two first bearings 62 can guide the two vertical wheels 63 to rotate laterally along the positioning grooves 61 inside the side plate 52. In this way, the lateral first bearings 62 can provide the wheels 63 with better load-bearing capacity and stability. The other end of the two first bearings 62 is rotatably connected to the wheels 63. The outer wall of the wheels 63 is fixedly sleeved with an anti-wear layer 64. The anti-wear layer 64 is a polyethylene material wrapped around the outside of the wheels 63, which has high hardness and wear resistance. The inside of the wheels 63 is rotatably connected to the outside of the horizontal shaft 54. One side of the two wheels 63 is rotatably set relative to the side plate 52 through the first bearings 62.
[0026] The sealed transverse rotation structure 7 includes a rotating seat 71 and a lower sleeve 74. The rotating seat 71 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 1. The rotating seat 71 is connected to the top of the support plate 1 by welding. A second bearing 72 is rotatably installed above the rotating seat 71. The second bearing 72 allows the upper mounting plate 2 and the lower support plate 1 to rotate in any direction and at any angle. The lower sleeve 74 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 1. The lower sleeve 74 is fitted over the outside of the rotating seat 71 from below. Similarly, the upper sleeve 73 is fitted over the outside of the rotating seat 71 from above.
[0027] The top end of the lower sleeve 74 is fixedly connected to the bonding layer 75, which is made of wear-resistant polyethylene material. When the mounting plate 1 rotates, the bottom end of the upper sleeve 73 will rotate by contacting the bonding layer 75 and the lower sleeve 74. The two close upper sleeves 73 and lower sleeves 74 can reduce the interference of external dust and debris to the normal rotation of the inner second bearing 72. The upper sleeve 73 is rotatably connected above the bonding layer 75. The other end of the upper sleeve 73 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting plate 2. The second bearing 72 is rotatably connected to the middle of the lower end of the mounting plate 2.
[0028] Working principle:
[0029] Dual-axle floating casters are used to be fixed under trolleys or luggage, etc., to support and assist in the movement and transportation of trolleys or luggage. Dual-axle floating casters are an upgraded version of ordinary casters, with better load-bearing capacity and stability. They consist of two bearings and an outer wheel, with the two bearings located at both ends of the outer wheel, providing better load-bearing capacity and stability.
[0030] The docking and installation structure of dual-axis suspended omnidirectional wheels:
[0031] The connecting post 3 is a threaded post. The universal wheel can be connected to the equipment, vehicle body, luggage, etc. that need to be fixed by using the connecting post 3 protruding above the mounting plate 2. The mounting plate 2 is rotatably set above the support plate 1. The mounting plate 2 can fit the vehicle body or luggage that needs to be fixed. The smaller screw is screwed into the fixing hole 4 for reinforcement and fixation.
[0032] Stable load-bearing support structure for dual-axis suspended omnidirectional wheels:
[0033] The horizontal plate 51 is fixed to the lower end of the support plate 1. The horizontal plate 51 is used to support the side plates 52 on both sides and the vertical support frame 53 in the middle. The horizontal shaft 54 passes through the side plate 52 and the support frame 53 in sequence. The threaded heads 56 protruding at both ends of the horizontal shaft 54 can be screwed into the nuts 55 for locking and fixing. The lower end of the horizontal plate 51 is fixedly connected to the support frame 53 by rivets. The support frame 53 provides support and balance force to the middle of the two wheel bodies 63 in the middle. The side plates 52 provide lateral support to the two separate wheel bodies 53 on both sides. Therefore, the wheel bodies 63 can withstand long-term heavy load work and reduce the occurrence of deformation and tilting problems.
[0034] Working structure of a dual-axis suspended omnidirectional wheel:
[0035] Two first bearings 62 can guide two vertical wheels 63 to rotate laterally along the positioning groove 61 inside the side plate 52. In this way, the lateral first bearings 62 can provide the wheels 63 with better load-bearing capacity and stability. The outer wall of the wheel 63 is fixedly sleeved with an anti-wear layer 64. The anti-wear layer 64 is a polyethylene material wrapped around the outside of the wheel 63, which has high hardness and wear resistance.
[0036] Top-sealed omnidirectional rotating structure of dual-axis suspended omnidirectional wheels:
[0037] The rotating seat 71 is welded to the top of the support plate 1. The second bearing 72 allows the upper mounting plate 2 and the lower support plate 1 to rotate in any direction and at any angle. The lower sleeve 74 is fitted on the outside of the rotating seat 71 from below, and similarly, the upper sleeve 73 is fitted on the outside of the rotating seat 71 from above. The bonding layer 75 is made of wear-resistant polyethylene material. When the mounting plate 1 rotates, the bottom end of the upper sleeve 73 will rotate by contacting the bonding layer 75 and the lower sleeve 74. The two close upper sleeves 73 and lower sleeves 74 can reduce the interference of external dust and debris on the normal rotation of the inner second bearing 72.
