Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of headset assembly, and more particularly to a damping headset assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The headset is the core mechanical component of a bicycle's steering system. Its main functions include assisting in dynamic balance and absorbing road impacts. Its basic structure consists of components such as ball bearings and ball stops.

[0003] During use, the headset allows the bicycle to rotate flexibly left and right and control direction through the internal steel balls. However, currently, when the front tire tread of the bicycle is too smooth, that is, the contact area between the front tire tread and the ground is insufficient, or other factors, the friction between the front tire and the ground is reduced. This makes the bicycle's front wheel steering mechanism too flexible, making it difficult to control. It often results in the front wheel steering angle exceeding the expected angle, causing the rider to fall. Therefore, a damped headset is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a damping cup assembly that solves the problem that current cup assemblies are too flexible and inconvenient to operate.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A damping cup assembly, comprising:

[0007] The inner ball plug and the steel ball cup sleeved outside the inner ball plug are provided with a gap between the steel ball cup and the inner ball plug. A damping element is provided in the gap between the steel ball cup and the inner ball plug near the bottom. A steel ball is provided in the gap between the steel ball cup and the inner ball plug near the top.

[0008] The steel ball cup is pressed against the damping element and the top of the steel ball, and the inner ball plug is located at the bottom of the damping element and the steel ball.

[0009] Furthermore, both the steel ball cup and the inner ball plug are configured as annular structures.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer surface of the inner bead plug protrudes near the bottom to form a stepped structure, and the middle of the steel ball cup also forms a stepped structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the cross-sectional structure of the damping element is a horizontal arm and a vertical arm. The stepped position in the middle of the steel ball cup is pressed on the horizontal arm of the damping element, the horizontal arm of the damping element is pressed on the protrusion of the inner ball plug, and the outer surface of the protrusion of the inner ball plug is in contact with the vertical arm of the damping element.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall of the steel ball bowl is configured with an arc structure near the top, and the edge of the top of the inner ball plug is configured with an arc structure, with the steel ball being engaged between the two arc structures.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the inner bead plug is provided with a lower plug body.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner bead plug and the lower plug body are both provided with an inclined structure at the position where they fit together.

[0015] Furthermore, a snap-fit ​​block is sleeved on the outside of the lower plug body, the outer surface of the snap-fit ​​block is in contact with the inner wall of the steel ball cup, and the top of the snap-fit ​​block is in contact with the damping element.

[0016] Furthermore, the ball bearing bowl has a rim in the middle, and the top of the inner wall of the rim is set as an inclined end.

[0017] Furthermore, the lower plug body has a lower plug opening in the middle, and the inner bead plug has an inner plug opening in the middle.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. By using a steel ball cup, inner ball plug, damping element, and steel ball, the inner ball plug rotates and slides on the damping element due to its contact with the damping element, achieving the effects of vibration reduction and damping. That is, when the inner ball plug is pushed, it will move upward, causing the steel ball cup and the inner ball plug to generate a mutual pushing force, making the inner ball plug fit tightly with the damping element. At the same time, the inner ball plug rotates while adhering to the steel ball, and there will be no jamming, thus achieving the effects of vibration reduction and damping.

[0020] 2. Through the stepped and arc structures of the steel ball cup and the inner ball plug, the damping component can be tightly and stably clamped between the steel ball cup and the inner ball plug. When the inner ball plug moves, the force of contact with the damping component determines the damping force. The arc structure can ensure that the steel ball is confined inside the steel ball cup and the inner ball plug, ensuring the normal rotation of the inner ball plug. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component centrally located at the same time.

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] This utility model embodiment provides a damping cup assembly. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-3It includes: an inner bead plug 2 and a steel ball cup 1 sleeved outside the inner bead plug 2, with a gap between the steel ball cup 1 and the inner bead plug 2, a damping element 4 provided in the gap between the steel ball cup 1 and the inner bead plug 2 near the bottom, and a steel ball 5 provided in the gap between the steel ball cup 1 and the inner bead plug 2 near the top; the steel ball cup 1 is pressed against the top of the damping element 4 and the steel ball 5, and the inner bead plug 2 is located at the bottom of the damping element 4 and the steel ball 5.

[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the inner bead plug 2 serves as the core support component of the damping cup assembly, providing a mounting base for other components. The steel ball cup 1 is fitted outside the inner bead plug 2, and the two work together to form a specific structural space for accommodating and fixing other functional components, thus jointly realizing the function of the damping cup assembly.

[0032] The gap provides the necessary space for the installation of damping component 4 and steel ball 5, enabling these components to function in specific positions and ensuring that the components of the entire damping cup assembly do not interfere with each other and can operate normally.

[0033] The damping element 4 plays a key role in providing damping force in the damping cup assembly. When there is relative movement between the steel ball cup 1 and the inner ball plug 2, the damping element 4 consumes the rotational energy of the inner ball plug 2 through its own elastic deformation or friction, thereby producing a damping effect, which slows down the movement speed of the inner ball plug 2 and plays a role in buffering and stabilizing.

[0034] The steel ball 5 serves as a support and rolling guide at the top position. It can withstand the axial and radial loads between the steel ball cup 1 and the inner ball plug 2. At the same time, it reduces the friction of the inner ball plug 2 during its movement through rolling friction, making the movement of the inner ball plug 2 relative to the steel ball cup 1 smoother. The overall structure of the steel ball 5 is a ring structure, but the top and inner ring positions are spherical. The bottom of the outer ring of the steel ball 5 has an L-shaped boss. The formation of the boss ensures that the steel ball 5 is more stable when it is located in the gap between the steel ball cup 1 and the inner ball plug 2.

[0035] The pressing and positioning relationship ensures that the damping element 4 and the steel ball 5 are correctly installed between the steel ball cup 1 and the inner ball plug 2. The pressing of the steel ball cup 1 enables the damping element 4 and the steel ball 5 to fit tightly in the corresponding position, remain stable during movement, and will not shift or fall off, thereby ensuring that the damping cup assembly can continuously and stably perform its function.

[0036] Specific operating process: When the damping cup assembly is subjected to an external force, causing a relative motion tendency between the steel ball cup 1 and the inner ball plug 2, at the top position, the steel ball 5 rolls between the steel ball cup 1 and the inner ball plug 2, converting sliding friction into rolling friction, greatly reducing the friction force, allowing the inner ball plug 2 to start moving relatively easily relative to the steel ball cup 1. As the relative motion continues, the damping element 4 near the bottom begins to play its role. Since the inner ball plug 2 is attached to the damping element 4, when the inner ball plug 2 moves, the damping element 4 will undergo elastic deformation or generate friction force, consuming some energy, thereby producing a damping effect and slowing down the movement speed of the steel ball cup 1 relative to the inner ball plug 2.

[0037] Please continue reading. Figures 1-3 Both the ball cup 1 and the inner ball plug 2 are designed as annular structures. The outer surface of the inner ball plug 2 protrudes near the bottom to form a stepped structure. The middle part of the ball cup 1 also forms a stepped structure. The cross-sectional structure of the damping element 4 is a horizontal arm and a vertical arm. The stepped position in the middle of the ball cup 1 is pressed on the horizontal arm of the damping element 4. The horizontal arm of the damping element 4 is pressed on the protrusion of the inner ball plug 2. The outer surface of the protrusion of the inner ball plug 2 fits against the vertical arm of the damping element 4. The inner wall of the ball cup 1 near the top is designed as an arc structure. The edge of the top of the inner ball plug 2 is designed as an arc structure. The steel ball 5 is engaged between the two arc structures.

[0038] like Figures 1-3 As shown, both the steel ball cup 1 and the inner ball plug 2 are set as a ring structure. This structure provides the basic framework for the entire damping cup assembly. The ring structure allows the steel ball cup 1 to be smoothly fitted onto the outside of the inner ball plug 2, and provides a suitable spatial layout for the subsequent installation of components such as the steel ball 5 and the damping element 4. At the same time, the symmetry of the ring ensures that the force is relatively uniform in all directions, which is beneficial for the damping cup assembly to maintain stability during movement.

[0039] The stepped structure of the inner bead plug 2 provides a specific installation position and support for the damping element 4. It can limit the axial and radial movement of the damping element 4, ensuring that the damping element 4 is always in the correct position during the operation of the damping cup assembly, thereby stably exerting the damping effect.

[0040] The stepped structure of the steel ball cup 1 and the stepped structure of the inner ball plug 2 work together to further enhance the structural stability of the entire damping cup assembly. It can work together with the stepped structure of the inner ball plug 2 to more effectively position and fix the damping component 4, while also helping to disperse and transmit forces and reduce local stress.

[0041] The damping element 4 has a cross-section with horizontal and vertical arms. The stepped middle part of the ball cup 1 presses against the horizontal arm of the damping element 4, and the horizontal arm of the damping element 4 presses against the protrusion of the inner ball plug 2. This pressing relationship forms a stable mechanical transmission system. When relative movement occurs between the ball cup 1 and the inner ball plug 2, the damping element 4 consumes the rotational energy of the inner ball plug 2 through the deformation of the horizontal and vertical arms, generating a damping force, thereby slowing down the movement speed of the inner ball plug 2. The outer surface of the protrusion of the inner ball plug 2 fits against the vertical arm of the damping element 4, further enhancing the connection stability between the damping element 4 and the inner ball plug 2, ensuring that the damping force can be effectively transmitted.

[0042] The arc structure provides a smooth track for the steel ball 5, allowing it to roll smoothly within the ball cup 1 and the inner ball plug 2. This reduces the friction between the steel ball 5 and the inner wall of the ball cup 1, lowers energy loss, and also prevents the steel ball 5 from being damaged by colliding with sharp edges during its movement.

[0043] The edge of the top of the inner ball plug 2 is set as an arc structure, which cooperates with the arc structure of the inner wall of the steel ball cup 1 to form a space suitable for the steel ball 5 to engage and roll. The arc structure at the top of the inner ball plug 2 can guide the steel ball 5 to accurately enter the engagement position, and play an auxiliary support and guiding role during the rolling process of the steel ball 5.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom of the inner bead plug 2 is provided with a lower plug body 3. The inner bead plug 2 and the lower plug body 3 are both provided with an inclined structure at the position where they fit together. The lower plug body 3 is fitted with a snap-fit ​​block 6. The outer surface of the snap-fit ​​block 6 fits against the inner wall of the steel ball cup 1, and the top of the snap-fit ​​block 6 fits against the damping component 4.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lower plug body 3 provides an additional support structure for the bottom of the inner bead plug 2, which enhances the overall strength and stability of the inner bead plug 2. When the damping cup assembly is subjected to external force, the lower plug body 3 can push the inner bead plug 2 to move vertically, so that the inner bead plug 2 fits tightly against the damping component 4.

[0046] The inclined structure plays a guiding role in the installation of the inner bead plug 2 and the lower plug body 3. When the lower plug body 3 is installed at the bottom of the inner bead plug 2, the inclined structure makes it easier for the two to be aligned and embedded, reducing the difficulty and error in the installation process and improving the installation efficiency. Furthermore, when the lower plug body 3 pushes the inner bead plug 2, it does not push the inner bead plug 2 directly, but rather pushes the inner bead plug 2 slowly.

[0047] The snap-fit ​​block 6 can firmly snap the lower plug body 3 into the inside of the steel ball cup 1, preventing the lower plug body 3 from loosening or shifting during use. At the same time, the fit between the snap-fit ​​block 6 and the inner wall of the steel ball cup 1 and the damping component 4 also provides precise positioning for the lower plug body 3 and the damping component 4, ensuring that their relative positions in the damping cup assembly are accurate, thereby guaranteeing the performance stability of the damping cup assembly.

[0048] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ball bowl 1 has a bowl opening 102 in the middle, and the top of the inner wall of the bowl opening 102 is set as an inclined end 101. The lower plug body 3 has a lower plug opening 301 in the middle, and the inner ball plug 2 has an inner plug opening 201 in the middle.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bowl 102 provides an installation entrance for other related components (such as possible external connectors or tools used for maintenance and repair), while the inclined end 101 at the top of the inner wall of the bowl 102 is designed to guide the components during installation, allowing them to enter the bowl 102 more smoothly and accurately, reducing jamming and deviation during installation, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0050] The lower plug 301 and the inner plug 201 can serve as channels for fluids (such as lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, etc.) to provide lubrication for the internal components of the damping cup assembly, reduce friction and wear between components, ensure the smooth operation of the damping cup assembly, and also provide installation inlets for other related components (such as possible external connectors).

[0051] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
