Abstract

The application discloses a down-pressing self-locking caster, which comprises a connecting support, rollers arranged on the front and back sides of the connecting support, a connecting shaft, an embedded sliding limiting piece and an elastic expansion piece. An accommodating slot with a downward opening is formed in the middle of the connecting support, and a lower convex clamping part is arranged on the front and back sides of the accommodating slot. An elongated through hole is formed in the lower convex clamping part and is in communication with the accommodating slot. An inner recess is formed in the inner side of the roller, and a plurality of middle protruding parts are arranged on the inner side of the inner recess and are spaced apart along the circumferential direction. A clamping recess is formed in the middle protruding part and is adapted to clamp the lower convex clamping part. The connecting shaft penetrates through the accommodating slot and the elongated through hole and is connected with the rollers arranged on the front and back sides of the connecting support. The embedded sliding limiting piece is slidably connected in the accommodating slot, and a connecting hole is formed in the embedded sliding limiting piece. The elastic expansion piece is arranged between the accommodating slot and the embedded sliding limiting piece and is used for elastically resetting the embedded sliding limiting piece, the connecting shaft and the roller.
