Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of kite winders, and in particular relates to a dual-form kite winder. Background Technology
[0002] A kite winder is an indispensable tool for kite flying, helping users better control the kite line and enhancing the kite-flying experience. A winder typically consists of a handle, a spool, and a brake mechanism, designed to be lightweight and portable for easy outdoor use. High-quality winders are made of durable materials, ensuring long-term durability. To use, simply wind the kite line onto the spool and easily wind or unwind the line by turning the handle. Some winders also feature an adjustment mechanism to control the release speed for different wind conditions. Whether you're a beginner or a kite enthusiast, a handy winder can make flying kites much easier and more enjoyable.
[0003] Comparing this to Chinese patent CN219272145U, a kite hook is disclosed, including a line support hook frame. The frame comprises two parallel winding tubes, each with a winding baffle. A support tube connects the winding tubes, located inside the winding baffles on each tube and perpendicularly connected to them. A handle is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the winding baffles on each tube via a rolling bearing. The overall structure is strong, and the rotating tube, mounted on the winding tube via the rolling bearing, rotates flexibly, is durable, and has a long service life. When letting out or retrieving the kite line, simply grasp the handle and rotate the line support hook frame to release or retrieve the line. Simultaneously, the rotation of the rolling bearing drives the handle to rotate, resulting in fast line release or retrieving speeds while avoiding friction between the hand and the handle, making operation more effortless.
[0004] However, the aforementioned patent cannot be deformed and can only be applied by wrapping with the hands, not by stepping with the feet. It is not suitable for releasing the line of heavy kites and has limited functionality. Therefore, a new device needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0029] 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.
[0030] Please see Figures 1-8 A dual-form kite winder includes a winding device for rotating and winding kite line, a main frame device for supporting the rotation and guiding the direction of the kite line, and a secondary frame device for assisting in supporting changes in the winding shape. The winding device is installed in the middle of the main frame device, and the bottom and top sides of the main frame device are plugged into and plugged into the secondary frame device, respectively. Both the main frame device and the secondary frame device are made of hollow round tube material.
[0031] In this embodiment: the main frame device includes a lower component for emergency braking and an upper component for guiding the kite line. The lower component has two symmetrically arranged first connectors 102 at its bottom end, and the upper component has two symmetrically arranged second connectors 109 on its top side. The lower component includes a lower support 101, on which a brake frame 103 is mounted. A brake plate 104 is mounted on the brake frame 103. The brake frame 103 and brake plate 104 employ a cam clamping structure for clamping and braking the winding assembly. The upper component includes an upper support 105, on which a first crossbeam 106 is arranged at its top. A wire groove 107 is arranged in the middle of the first crossbeam 106, and a second crossbeam 108 is arranged above the first crossbeam 106. One end of the second crossbeam 108 is separated from the upper support 105. The angle between the connector 109 and the upper bracket 105 is 60 degrees. In the first configuration, the first connector 102 at the bottom of the lower bracket 101 is inserted into the insertion hole 304 at the top of the auxiliary frame 301 to form a vertical structure. In the second configuration, the second connector 109 on the top side of the upper bracket 105 is inserted into the insertion hole 304 at the top of the auxiliary frame 301 to form a triangular structure. When winding or releasing the kite line, the kite line passes through the guide groove 107 of the first crossbeam 106 on the upper bracket 105 and enters the winding wheel 203. When the kite line tension needs to be buffered, the kite line is wound around the second crossbeam 108 and then passes through the guide groove 107 to reduce the burden on the winding wheel 203. Pressing the brake plate 104 causes the brake bracket 103 to clamp the central shaft 202 and brake, stopping the winding wheel 203 from rotating.
[0032] In this embodiment: the sub-frame device includes a sub-frame body 301, with two symmetrically arranged support legs 302 at the bottom end of the sub-frame body 301, two symmetrically arranged insertion holes 304 at the top end of the sub-frame body 301, and four auxiliary support rods 303 evenly distributed at the four corners of the sub-frame body 301; the sub-frame body 301 is frame-shaped, and the auxiliary support rods 303 are horizontally arranged; the sub-frame body 301 is connected to the main frame device through the insertion holes 304 to form two different shapes, which facilitates the winding operation; the support legs 302 are used to contact the ground for fixation, and the auxiliary support rods 303 are used to clamp and fix the sub-frame body 301 with both legs.
[0033] In this embodiment: the winding device includes two symmetrically arranged fixed seats 201, with a winding assembly rotatably arranged in the middle of the fixed seats 201, and a locking pin 204 installed on the fixed seats 201; the winding assembly includes a central shaft 202, with a winding wheel 203 installed in the middle of the central shaft 202, and crank handles 205 installed at both ends of the central shaft 202; the crank handles 205 are of the crank type, and the central shaft 202 and the fixed seats 201 are connected by bearings; the fixed seats 201 are used to fix the upper support 105 and the lower support 101, and the crank handles 205 are used to apply force to drive the central shaft 202 supported by the fixed seats 201 to drive the winding wheel 203 to wind or release the kite line, while tightening the locking pins 204 on the fixed seats 201 so that the locking pins 204 press against the central shaft 202 to prevent rotation.
[0034] Working principle: In the first form, the first connector 102 at the bottom of the lower bracket 101 is inserted into the insertion hole 304 at the top of the auxiliary frame 301 to form a vertical structure. The operator adopts a sitting posture, with both legs holding the auxiliary support rod 303 to fix the auxiliary frame 301. The support leg 302 at the bottom of the auxiliary frame 301 is fixed in contact with the ground, so that the main frame device and the winding device are stable. The operator holds the crank handle 205 and rotates it. The central shaft 202 supported by the fixed seat 201 drives the winding wheel 203 to wind or release the kite line. The kite line passes through the wire groove 107 of the first crossbeam 106 on the upper bracket 105 and enters the winding wheel 203. When the kite line tension needs to be buffered, the kite line is wound on the second crossbeam 108 and then passes through the wire groove 107 to reduce the burden on the winding wheel 203.
[0035] In the second configuration, the second connector 109 on the top side of the upper bracket 105 is inserted into the insertion hole 304 at the top of the auxiliary frame 301 to form a triangular structure. The operator sits down and steps on the crank handle 205 with both feet to rotate it. The central shaft 202 supported by the fixed base 201 drives the winding wheel 203 to wind or release the kite line.
[0036] When it is necessary to stop the rotation of the winding wheel 203, first press the brake plate 104 to make the brake bracket 103 clamp the central shaft 202 and brake it, so that the winding wheel 203 stops rotating. Then tighten the locking pin 204 on the fixing seat 201 to make the locking pin 204 press the central shaft 202 and prevent it from rotating.
[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
