[0047] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0048] To ensure the locking mechanism of this caster wheel has a guiding structure and improves stability when locked, such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a concealed universal wheel for a height-adjustable table that is easy to lock, comprising a cover 1, a top block 2, a swivel wheel 8 and a locking mechanism. The top of the cover 1 is provided with a slot 25, the top block 2 is provided at the upper end of the cover 1, the bottom of the top block 2 is provided with a buckle 31 corresponding to the slot 25, and the top of the top block 2 is provided with a groove A3 near the center.
[0049] The locking mechanism comprises a force-applying structure, a pressing active locking component structure, a reset structure, and a locked component structure. The force-applying structure includes:
[0050] Contact wheel 5 is located inside the groove A3;
[0051] The crescent-shaped actuating block 4 is fixed to the top of the contact wheel 5;
[0052] The rotating shaft B16 is located at the center of the contact wheel 5;
[0053] The groove C15 is located at the bottom of the contact wheel 5;
[0054] The downward active locking component structure includes:
[0055] Recess B12 is provided at the top inside the cover 1;
[0056] Hollow block 13 is located inside the groove B12;
[0057] The force-bearing column 14 is located on the top of the hollow block 13. When the contact wheel 5 is rotated under force, the force-bearing column 14 is pressed down by the pressure of the edge of the groove C15.
[0058] The convex disk 18 is located on the outer side of the bottom end of the hollow block 13;
[0059] Displacement element 17 is connected to both ends of the convex disk 18;
[0060] Locking protrusions 23 are located at both ends of the bottom of the displacement member 17;
[0061] The reset structure includes:
[0062] Fixing member 21 is located at the lower end of displacement member 17;
[0063] Groove D19 is provided at the bottom of the fixing member 21;
[0064] The reset spring 20 is installed at the top inside the hollow block 13, and its bottom contacts the bottom inside the groove D19;
[0065] The through groove 22 is provided at both ends of the top of the fixing member 21 and is located at the lower end of the locking protrusion 23;
[0066] The locking component structure includes:
[0067] Rotary wheel 8 is located at the lower end of the fixing member 21;
[0068] A cylindrical block 9 is disposed at the center of the rotating wheel 8;
[0069] The locking groove 10 is provided in multiple sets. All sets of the locking groove 10 are opened on the outside of the cylindrical block 9 and are used to cooperate with the pressing locking protrusion 23 to complete the locking action.
[0070] When in use, the operator applies force to the crescent-shaped actuating block 4, which drives the contact wheel 5 and the rotating shaft B16 to rotate, thereby causing the groove C15 to deflect. When the groove C15 deflects, it applies downward pressure to the force-bearing column 14, thereby causing the locking protrusion 23 to press down and pass through the through groove 22 to achieve the locking action of the rotating wheel 8.
[0071] For example, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, the present invention also includes an inner sleeve 29 provided on the inner side of the cover 1 near the top, and a support ring 24 provided between the top edge of the inner sleeve 29 and the top of the inner side of the cover 1 through a reserved groove.
[0072] In use, the support ring 24 can support the space between the cover 1 and the inner component 29, and allow relative rotation between the cover 1 and the inner component 29.
[0073] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also includes a vertical block 26 provided at the top of the cover 1 near the center, and a limiting groove 27 is provided at the top of the vertical block 26.
[0074] When in use, the limiting groove 27 at the top of the vertical block 26 facilitates the support of the bottom of the rotating shaft B16.
[0075] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also includes a rotating shaft B16 at both ends of the contact wheel 5, an installation groove A28 is provided on the inner wall of the groove A3, the rotating shaft B16 is located in the installation groove A28, and the rotating shaft B16 is located at the upper end of the limiting groove 27.
[0076] During use, the rotating shaft B16 can be easily limited by the mounting slot A28 and the limiting slot 27.
[0077] For example, such as Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the present invention also includes a flange 6 provided on the outer periphery of the bottom end of the cover 1, and a reinforcing rib 7 provided at the connection between the top of the flange 6 and the outer wall of the cover 1.
[0078] When in use, the strength of the cover 1 can be effectively improved by the reinforcing rib 7.
[0079] For example, such as Figure 3 and 5 As shown, the present invention also includes positioning posts 30 on both sides of the fixing member 21 near the center, and surrounding plates 32 on the inner walls of the positioning posts 30 near both sides. An installation groove C34 is provided on the inner side of the surrounding plates 32 near the center, and the positioning posts 30 are all located in the corresponding installation grooves C34.
[0080] In use, the positioning post 30 cooperates with the mounting groove C34 to facilitate the limiting and fixing of the fixing part 21.
[0081] For example, such as Figure 3 and 5 As shown, the present invention also includes mounting grooves B33 on the inner wall of the enclosure 32 near the bottom, and a rotating shaft A11 is provided in the rotating wheel 8 located in the mounting grooves B33.
[0082] During use, the groove A3 facilitates the positioning and installation of the rotating shaft A11.
[0083] For example, such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the present invention also includes a support ring 24 made of nylon material.
[0084] When in use, the support ring 24 is made of nylon material. Since nylon material has a self-lubricating effect, it can make the relative rotation between the cover 1 and the inner part 29 smoother.
[0085] In use, the universal caster is installed at the bottom of the lifting table. A slot corresponding to the top block 2 is provided at the bottom of the lifting table. The top block 2 is glued and fixed into the slot to complete the installation. External force can be applied to the crescent-shaped actuating block 4 from the inner bottom of the table.
[0086] When a person applies force to the crescent-shaped actuating block 4, it causes the contact wheel 5 and the rotating shaft B16 to rotate, thereby causing the groove C15 to deflect. When the groove C15 deflects, it applies downward pressure to the force-bearing column 14, which in turn causes the hollow block 13, the cam 18, the displacement component 17, and the locking protrusion 23 to press down. The locking protrusion 23 passes through the through groove 22 and inserts into the locking groove 10 on the outer side of the cylindrical block 9, thus achieving the locking operation of the rotating wheel 8. The limiting and guiding effect of the through groove 22 on the locking protrusion 23, and the limiting and guiding effect of the groove B12, effectively improves the stability of the locking structure during operation. This universal wheel's locking structure has a guiding structure, resulting in good stability during locking.
[0087] When locking is not required, the operator moves the crescent-shaped toggle block 4 to the correct position. At this time, the groove C15 is directly above the force-bearing column 14. As the hollow block 13 is pressed down, it causes the return spring 20 to compress. When the crescent-shaped toggle block 4 and the groove C15 are reset, the return spring 20 rebounds, causing the hollow block 13 and the force-bearing column 14 to move upward. This causes the force-bearing column 14 to be inserted into the groove C15, and causes the locking protrusion 23 to be lifted from the locking groove 10, thereby releasing the lock on the rotating wheel 8.
[0088] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
