Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hose reel technology, and more specifically to an automated hose reel device. Background Technology

[0002] In gardens, playgrounds, or other locations, hoses are frequently used for irrigation, spraying, and other water-related tasks. To reduce the hassle of using or retrieving hoses, hose winders are typically installed. Currently, the most common hose winders on the market generally consist of a winding disc and a winding drive, which can be manual or electric.

[0003] The coil spring is one of the core components of the hose reel, facilitating the retraction of the pipe. It is generally a spiral spring, mainly formed by the uniform winding of spring sheets. The existing technical problem is that the coil spring has a smaller winding force at the outermost coil sheet when retracting, and the coil spring cannot be tightened at the end of the winding, thus affecting the performance of the hose reel. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve at least one of the technical problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automated hose reel device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated hose reel device, comprising a housing, a cavity provided within the housing, a coil spring installed within the cavity, a clamping head fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cavity, the outer end of the coil spring fixedly installed on the clamping head, an elastic steel component installed on the outermost coil spring sheet of the coil spring, the elastic steel component being sleeved on the outermost coil spring sheet of the coil spring, the elastic steel component having a U-shaped cross-section, the outermost coil spring sheet of the coil spring being located within the U-shaped groove of the elastic steel component, and a clamping component fixedly installed on one side of the elastic steel component, the clamping component engaging with the clamping head.

[0006] Furthermore, the elastic steel component is arc-shaped, and the curvature of the elastic steel component is similar to the curvature of the outermost coil spring sheet.

[0007] Furthermore, the locking component includes a locking block fixedly connected to the elastic steel component, the locking block having a T-shaped groove inside, and one side of the locking head being a T-shaped head adapted to the T-shaped groove.

[0008] Furthermore, a magnet is provided inside the card block, and the card head is made of iron.

[0009] Furthermore, the thickness of the elastic steel component matches the thickness of the coil spring.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the U-shaped groove of the elastic steel member contacts the coiled spring sheet.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the hose reel is operating, the coil spring continuously winds up the hose. At the same time, the elastic steel part is engaged with the outermost coil spring plate through its U-shaped groove, ensuring that the outermost coil spring plate has a good winding force during the winding process, ensuring that the coil spring is tightened. Meanwhile, since other parts of the coil spring are not thickened, the maximum pulling force required when the pipe or line is pulled out does not increase. This not only makes the hose reel more time-saving and labor-saving to use, but also provides a greater winding force when it is finally wound up, effectively solving the problem of traditional hose reels not winding tightly, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of hose winding.

[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This embodiment provides an automated hose reel device, including a housing 1. A cavity 2 is provided within the housing 1. A coil spring 3 is installed within the cavity 2. A clamp 4 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cavity 2. The outer end of the coil spring 3 is fixedly installed on the clamp 4. An elastic steel member 5 is installed on the outermost coil spring sheet of the coil spring 3. The thickness of the elastic steel member matches the thickness of the coil spring sheet. The elastic steel member 5 is sleeved on the outermost coil spring sheet of the coil spring 3. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5The elastic steel component 5 has a U-shaped cross-section. The outermost coil spring sheet of the coil spring 3 is located in the U-shaped groove of the elastic steel component 5. The inner wall of the U-shaped groove of the elastic steel component is in contact with the coil spring sheet. A clip 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the elastic steel component 5. The clip 6 is snapped onto the clip head 4.

[0020] In this automated hose reel device, the housing 1 provides an enclosed space to house the internal components. A coil spring 3, installed inside the cavity 2, is responsible for winding the hose. Its outer end is secured by a clamp 4, ensuring the coil spring 3 is firmly fixed within the housing 1. An elastic steel member 5, mounted on the outermost coil spring sheet of the coil spring 3, enhances the strength of the hose winding. It uses a U-shaped groove to clamp the outermost coil spring sheet, ensuring the coil spring 3 remains taut even at the final stage of winding, preventing slackness at the end of the winding process. The U-shaped groove design also keeps the elastic steel member 5 consistently attached to the coil spring sheet, continuously outputting elastic force. A clamp 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the elastic steel member 5 and further secured to the clamp 4 via a snap-fit ​​mechanism, increasing the overall stability of the device and preventing the elastic steel member 5 from detaching from the coil spring 3.

[0021] In terms of working principle, when the hose reel is operating, the coil spring 3 continuously winds up the hose. At the same time, the elastic steel part 5 is engaged with the outermost coil spring sheet of the coil spring 3 through its U-shaped groove, ensuring that the outermost coil spring sheet of the coil spring 3 has a good winding force during the winding process, ensuring that the coil spring 3 is tightened. Meanwhile, since other parts of the coil spring 3 are not thickened, the maximum pulling force required when the hose or line is pulled out does not increase. This not only makes the use of the hose reel more time-saving and labor-saving, but also provides a greater winding force when it is finally wound up, effectively solving the problem of traditional hose reels not winding tightly, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of hose winding.

[0022] Please see Figure 5 The elastic steel component 5 is arc-shaped, and its curvature is similar to that of the outermost coil spring plate of the coil spring 3. This arc-shaped structure, with its curvature design closely matching that of the outermost coil spring plate of the coil spring 3, allows the elastic steel component 5 to better conform to the coil spring 3, improving the overall structural stability and elasticity. When the device is subjected to external force, the elastic steel component 5 and the coil spring 3 work together, effectively absorbing and releasing energy through their elastic deformation and restoring force.

[0023] Please see Figure 5 The locking component 6 includes a locking block 61 fixedly connected to the elastic steel component 5. A T-shaped groove 62 is formed within the locking block 61, and one side of the locking head 4 is a T-shaped head that matches the T-shaped groove 62. Through the cooperation of the locking block 61 and the locking head 4, the locking block 61 is engaged with the locking head 4, thereby positioning the elastic steel component 5 and preventing the elastic steel sheet from detaching from the coil spring 3.

[0024] A magnet is installed inside the card block 61, and the card head 4 is made of iron. This further improves the connection strength between the card block 61 and the card head 4.

[0025] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
