[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a caster with a decorative cover, comprising:
[0021] The caster bracket 1 is integrally formed from high-strength metal material, with caster cores 3 on both sides via pipe fittings 2 to allow the casters to rotate. The caster cores 3 are made of wear-resistant alloy steel, and a PU edging sleeve 4 is tightly fitted around their outer ring to ensure smooth rolling of the caster cores 3. This PU edging sleeve 4 has good elasticity and shock absorption performance, effectively reducing rolling noise. A caster seat 5 is provided at the rear of the caster bracket 1 to maintain the balance of the casters. The caster seat 5 is firmly connected to the caster bracket 1 through a welding process to ensure structural stability.
[0022] The caster seat 5 has a limiting hole at its center, which is adapted to the caster connecting rod 6 that allows the caster to move in all directions. The limiting insertion is achieved through an interference fit. The outer side of the caster PU edging sleeve 4 is designed with a slot structure for inserting and snapping together hollow decorative covers 7 of different colors. The hollow decorative cover 7 is made of lightweight plastic, and its surface can be coated and printed to form various colors and patterns.
[0023] The caster bracket 1 has a circular structure, and the inner and outer rings of the caster bracket 1 are integrally formed with reinforcing plates 8 at equal intervals to prevent the caster from deforming under the weight. The reinforcing plates 8 are radially distributed, and their thickness is the same as that of the main body of the caster bracket 1. By enhancing the rigidity of the bracket, the load-bearing capacity of the caster is effectively improved.
[0024] The hollow decorative cover 7 extends outward from the side corresponding to the PU edging sleeve of the caster, forming a disassembly and assembly clip 9. The disassembly and assembly clip 9 is made of elastic plastic and has a certain degree of flexibility. Furthermore, the surface of the disassembly and assembly clip 9 is uniformly provided with strip-shaped protruding structures that press against the inside of both ends of the through pipe fitting 2. The side of the strip-shaped top block 10 that contacts the inner wall of the through pipe fitting 2 is provided with anti-slip texture to enhance the firmness of the connection.
[0025] A fixing ring 11 protrudes from the middle surface of the through pipe fitting 2, and the fixing ring 11 and the through pipe fitting 2 are integrally formed. After the through pipe fitting 2 is inserted into the inner ring of the caster bracket 1, it is fixed by the cooperation of the protruding fixing ring 11 with the limiting groove of the inner ring of the caster bracket 1 to prevent the through pipe fitting 2 from moving axially during use.
[0026] The caster core 3 is sleeved and fixed at both ends of the through pipe 2. The sleeved part is fixed by a key connection or pin to ensure that there is no relative rotation between the caster core 3 and the through pipe 2. The caster PU edging sleeve 4 is sleeved on the outer surface of the caster core 3, and the two are bonded together by a high-strength adhesive, which not only facilitates later disassembly and replacement, but also ensures a tight connection.
[0027] Two annular elastic elements 12 are sleeved on the upper end of the caster connecting rod 6. The annular elastic elements 12 are made of spring steel and have good elasticity and fatigue strength. A PA rubber sleeve 13 is sleeved on the upper end of the caster connecting rod 6 to limit the annular elastic elements 12. The inner wall of the PA rubber sleeve 13 is provided with a protruding structure that matches the outer surface of the caster connecting rod 6 to prevent the PA rubber sleeve 13 from rotating or sliding axially on the caster connecting rod 6.
[0028] Specifically, in use, the movement and load-bearing principle is as follows: The through-pipe 2 passes through the inner ring of the caster bracket 1. The caster core 3 is sleeved and fixed to both ends of the through-pipe 2. The caster PU edging sleeve 4 is then sleeved onto the outer surface of the caster core 3, forming a rolling structure. When the caster moves under load, the caster PU edging sleeve 4 contacts the ground. Relying on its good wear resistance and elasticity, it provides smooth rolling conditions for the caster core 3 while dispersing the ground reaction force. The caster bracket 1 adopts a circular structure and is equipped with a reinforcing plate 8. When bearing the weight of equipment or furniture, the reinforcing plate 8 evenly distributes the load to various parts of the bracket, avoiding localized stress concentration that could lead to bracket deformation, and ensuring that the caster can still move stably under load.
[0029] The principle of decorative cover installation and replacement: The hollow decorative cover 7 is inserted into the outside of the caster PU edging sleeve 4 through the disassembly and assembly clip 9 extending from its back. The strip-shaped top block 10 on the surface of the disassembly and assembly clip 9 is pressed tightly against the inside of both ends of the through pipe fitting 2. The outward protrusion of the strip-shaped top block 10 forms an elastic engagement with the inner wall of the through pipe fitting 2, achieving a stable installation of the decorative cover 7. When the user needs to replace the decorative cover 7, simply pull the decorative cover 7 outward. The strip-shaped top block 10 deforms under force and detaches from the through pipe fitting 2, making it easy to remove. Then, insert the new decorative cover 7 to complete the replacement, meeting personalized decoration needs.
[0030] Component connection and fixing principle: The fixing ring 11 protruding outward in the middle of the through pipe fitting 2, after passing through the inner ring of the caster bracket 1, forms a limiting fit with the inner ring of the bracket, preventing the through pipe fitting 2 from shifting axially during use and ensuring a reliable connection between the caster core 3 and the caster bracket 1. The caster seat 5 and the caster connecting rod 6 adopt a limiting insertion method. The two annular elastic elements 12 and PA rubber sleeves 13 sleeved on the upper end of the caster connecting rod 6 can absorb the vibration and impact during the movement when the caster is connected to equipment or furniture. The PA rubber sleeves 13 limit the annular elastic elements 12 to prevent them from shifting, ensuring the connection stability between the caster and the connecting parts, reducing shaking, and achieving smooth movement.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
