Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fisheye connectors, specifically an adjustable multi-functional fisheye connector. Background Technology

[0002] Adjustable spherical joints are typically designed with adjustable components to allow for fine-tuning during installation and use to accommodate different angles and positions. Most adjustable spherical joints are equipped with lock nuts or lock screws. First, these locking devices need to be loosened to allow adjustment of the joint angle. A spherical joint, professionally known as a self-lubricating rod end spherical bearing, is a type of spherical bearing. Its main function is to connect two rods whose centerlines intersect. The shaft installed in the spherical end can rotate around the centerline by a certain angle. This type of joint consists of a pin with a ball head and a slotted socket. It is ingeniously designed to quickly and adaptively connect, achieving quick connection and self-aligning function through the cooperation of the ball head and the slot.

[0003] Common adjustable multi-functional fisheye connectors may rub against other components or the external environment during use. This friction directly acts on the outer wall of the connector, leading to increased wear, shortened service life, and increased susceptibility to damage under impact, affecting its stability and reliability. This accelerates the wear and damage of the fisheye connector, requiring more frequent maintenance and replacement, increasing usage costs and negatively impacting user experience. Therefore, we propose an adjustable multi-functional fisheye connector. Utility Model Content

[0013] Beneficial Effects: Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an adjustable multi-functional spherical connector with the following beneficial effects: This adjustable multi-functional spherical connector has an inner movable groove on the outer wall of the positioning protective frame that is interconnected with the interior of the positioning protective frame. The buffer frame moves with the inner side of the inner movable groove. The limiting movable frame is used to limit the movement of the buffer frame, preventing the buffer frame from separating from the positioning protective frame.

[0019] 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.

[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an adjustable multi-functional fisheye connector includes an outer ring block 1, a connecting rod 2 fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer ring block 1, an inner bearing 3 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer ring block 1, a ball head 4 movably connected to the inner wall of the inner bearing 3, a positioning protective frame 5 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer ring block 1, a buffer frame 6 movably connected inside the positioning protective frame 5, and a protective flexible pad 7 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the buffer frame 6, which can reduce the friction between the fisheye connector and the surrounding environment or other components, and prevent wear and scratches.

[0021] Furthermore, the lower end of the outer ring block 1 is fixed to the upper end of the connecting rod 2 by welding. The inner wall of the outer ring block 1 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner bearing 3, and the inner wall of the inner bearing 3 is movably connected to the outer wall of the ball head 4. The inner bearing 3 mainly plays a supporting and guiding role, ensuring that the ball head maintains the correct trajectory during movement, reducing friction and wear. It usually uses self-lubricating materials, which can reduce friction and extend service life under lubrication-free conditions. The ball head 4 is a key component of the fisheye joint, responsible for connecting the two rods and transmitting force and motion, allowing it to rotate and swing within a certain angle range, so that the fisheye joint can adapt to complex motion requirements.

[0022] Furthermore, the outer wall of the outer ring block 1 is fixed to the inner wall of the positioning and protective frame 5 by welding. The outer wall of the positioning and protective frame 5 is provided with an inner movable groove 8. The buffer frame 6 is located inside the inner movable groove 8 and moves to provide buffering.

[0023] Furthermore, the outer wall of the buffer frame 6 is fixedly connected to the limit movable frame 9, and the outer surface of the outer wall of the buffer frame 6 is fixed to the inner wall of the protective flexible pad 7 with strong adhesive, which enhances the firmness and makes it less likely to detach.

[0024] Furthermore, the outer wall of the buffer frame 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting movable frame 9, and the inner wall of the limiting movable frame 9 is fixedly connected to the buffer damper 10 and the buffer elastic element 11, which enhance the buffer damping effect.

[0025] Furthermore, the inner walls of the limiting movable frame 9 are all fixedly connected to one end of the buffer damper 10 and the buffer elastic element 11 and are evenly arranged. Multiple sets of buffer dampers 10 and buffer elastic elements 11 can enhance the multi-directional buffering effect of the buffer frame 6.

[0026] Furthermore, the outer wall of the buffer damper 10 is fitted with a buffer elastic element 11. The other end of both the buffer damper 10 and the buffer elastic element 11 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the inner wall of the inner movable groove 8, which facilitates positioning and prevents detachment.

[0027] Furthermore, the limiting movable frame 9 is located inside the inner movable groove 8 and is movable. The outer wall of the buffer frame 6 is movably connected to the inner wall of the inner movable groove 8. When the buffer frame 6 receives an impact or collision, it can move inward to the inner side of the inner movable groove 8. The buffer elastic element 11 and the buffer damper 10 absorb and disperse the external impact force, reduce the direct impact on the fisheye joint, and thus extend its service life.

[0028] Working Principle: This adjustable multi-functional fisheye connector includes an outer ring block 1, a connecting rod 2, an inner bearing 3, a ball head 4, a positioning protective frame 5, a buffer frame 6, a protective flexible pad 7, an inner movable groove 8, a limiting movable frame 9, a buffer damper 10, and a buffer elastic element 11. The inner movable groove 8 is formed on the outer wall of the positioning protective frame 5 and is interconnected with the interior of the positioning protective frame 5. The buffer frame 6 moves within the inner side of the inner movable groove 8. The limiting movable frame 9 limits the movement of the buffer frame 6, preventing separation between the buffer frame 6 and the positioning protective frame 5. Furthermore, the buffer damper 10 and the buffer elastic element 11 further enhance the connection between the buffer frame 6 and the positioning protective frame 5. The elastic element 11 acts as a buffer, and the protective flexible pad 7, made of rubber, further enhances the protective buffering effect. It protects the outer ring block 1 of the fisheye joint, reducing the direct impact of external shocks on the fisheye joint, preventing damage from collisions, and extending its service life. In high-vibration or high-impact environments, it absorbs some energy, reducing wear and fatigue of the joint, and improving the overall reliability of the system. By reducing damage caused by collisions and wear, the frequency of maintenance and replacement of the joint can be reduced, thereby saving maintenance costs. In harsh working environments, such as mines and construction sites, it provides… Additional protection ensures the connector functions properly even under extreme conditions. The outer ring block 1 of the spherical connector primarily supports and protects the internal components. A locking nut is fitted to the outside of the outer ring block 1; loosening these locking devices allows adjustment of the connector angle. The connecting rod 2 facilitates connection to the cylinder. The inner bearing 3 primarily provides support and guidance, ensuring the ball head maintains the correct trajectory during movement, reducing friction and wear. It typically uses self-lubricating materials to reduce friction and extend service life even without lubrication. The ball head 4 is a key component of the spherical connector, responsible for connection... Two rods transmit force and motion, allowing the fisheye joint to rotate and swing within a certain angle range, enabling it to adapt to complex motion requirements. The inner walls of the limiting movable frame 9 are all fixedly connected to one end of the buffer damper 10 and the buffer elastic element 11 and are evenly arranged. Multiple sets of buffer dampers 10 and buffer elastic elements 11 can enhance the multi-directional buffering effect of the buffer frame 6. When the buffer frame 6 receives an impact or collision, it can move inward to the inner side of the inner movable groove 8. The buffer elastic element 11 and the buffer damper 10 absorb and disperse the external impact force, reducing the direct impact on the fisheye joint, thereby extending its service life.
