Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of scale body technology, specifically relating to a threadable folding mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] An electronic scale is a type of weighing instrument. Weighing instruments are tools that use Hooke's Law or the lever balance principle of forces to determine the mass of objects. According to their structural principles, they can be divided into three main categories: mechanical scales, electronic scales, and electromechanical scales. Electronic scales mainly consist of three parts: a load-bearing system (such as a weighing pan and scale body), a force transmission and conversion system (such as a lever force transmission system and a sensor), and a display system (such as a dial and an electronic display instrument).
[0003] The current type of folding handrail scale occupies too much space due to the vertical design of the handrail. In order to reduce the space occupied, the handrail is usually folded. However, the wires are not well protected during folding, which affects the long-term use of the wires. The wires will wear and be damaged during folding. Therefore, a wire-threading folding mechanism is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
[0005] Given the following technical problems in the existing technology: how to design a device that can effectively protect the wire when folded to ensure its long-term use and reduce wear and tear when folded.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wire-threadable folding mechanism, including a scale body and an instrument panel. Two lower rotating columns are installed on the top left side of the scale body, and an upper rotating column is rotatably connected to the lower rotating columns. A handrail is installed on the top of the upper rotating column, and the handrail is connected to the instrument panel. A rotating handle is installed on both the lower and upper rotating columns. A wire passes through the lower and upper rotating columns, and a wire protection spring is sleeved on the part of the wire located on the upper rotating column.
[0007] Furthermore, both the lower rotating column and the upper rotating column have notches on their sides that are close to each other.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the lower rotating column and the upper rotating column can be connected to form a vertical column through the notch, which can ensure the integrity and aesthetics of the folded part when it is vertical.
[0009] Furthermore, a number of locking teeth are provided at the notch of the upper rotating column and on the side near the lower rotating column, and a number of locking grooves are provided at the notch of the lower rotating column and on the side near the upper rotating column.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation between the card teeth and the card slot can make the connection between the card slot and the card teeth tighter and more stable.
[0011] Furthermore, the slot and the tooth engage and match each other.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking teeth are embedded in the locking slot, which ensures a stable connection and prevents the teeth from rotating arbitrarily in the vertical position, thus ensuring stability in the vertical position.
[0013] Furthermore, a first threading groove is provided in the lower rotating column, and a second threading groove is provided in the upper rotating column.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the configuration of wire trough one and wire trough two provides space for wire routing, allowing the wires to pass through.
[0015] Furthermore, the rotating handle includes a rotating platform, on which a threaded rod is mounted. The upper rotating column has a through-hole on the side opposite to the lower rotating column, and the lower rotating column has a threaded opening on the side opposite to the upper rotating column. The threaded opening matches the threaded rod.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, rotating the handle and twisting the rotary table allows the threaded rod and threaded end to engage, which in turn allows the rotary table to press and release the upper rotating column, ensuring a tight connection between the upper and lower rotating columns.
[0017] Furthermore, the wire passes through the first and second threaded slots and is bent at the threaded rod.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the bending at the threaded rod conforms to the shape of the threaded rod, and with the protection of the wire guard spring, the long-term use of the wire is ensured.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0020] 1. This utility model, through the rotational connection design of the lower rotating column and the upper rotating column, combined with the adjustment of the connection state by the rotating handle, can quickly realize the folding and unfolding operation of the handrail and the instrument panel, reduce the space occupied by the equipment, and facilitate storage or transportation.
[0021] 2. This utility model features a toothed and slotted interlocking structure at the notch between the lower and upper rotating columns to ensure the stability of the vertical state after folding, prevent arbitrary rotation, and improve safety. The wire passes through the first wire-passing groove and the upper rotating column is fitted with a wire-protecting spring. Combined with the curved wire routing design at the threaded rod, this effectively reduces friction between the wire and the structure during folding, reduces the risk of wire wear, and extends the service life of the wire.

[0034] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0036] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0037] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.
[0038] Reference Figures 1-9 This utility model embodiment proposes a wire-threadable folding mechanism, including a scale body 1 and an instrument panel 5. Two lower rotating columns 2 are installed on the top left side of the scale body 1, which are distributed front and back. The scale body 1 and the lower rotating columns 2 can be installed by welding. An upper rotating column 3 is rotatably connected to the lower rotating column 2. A handrail 4 is installed on the top of the upper rotating column 3. The upper rotating column 3 and the handrail 4 can be installed by welding. The handrail 4 is connected to the instrument panel 5. A rotating handle is installed on both the lower rotating column 2 and the upper rotating column 3. A wire 7 is passed through the lower rotating column 2 and the upper rotating column 3. A wire guard spring 8 is sleeved on the part of the wire 7 located on the upper rotating column 3.
[0039] Both the lower rotating column 2 and the upper rotating column 3 have notches on their adjacent sides. These notches allow the lower rotating column 2 and the upper rotating column 3 to form a vertical column, thus ensuring the integrity and aesthetics of the folded part when it is vertical.
[0040] Several locking teeth 31 are provided at the notch of the upper rotating column 3 and on the side near the lower rotating column 2, and several locking grooves 21 are provided at the notch of the lower rotating column 2 and on the side near the upper rotating column 3. The locking teeth 31 and the locking grooves 21 can be connected more tightly and securely through the cooperation of the locking teeth 31 and the locking grooves 21.
[0041] The slot 21 and the tooth 31 are engaged and matched with each other, with the tooth 31 inserted into the slot 21. This ensures a stable connection and prevents the tooth from rotating arbitrarily in the vertical position, thus ensuring stability in the vertical position.
[0042] The lower rotating column 2 has a wire-passing groove 22, and the upper rotating column 3 has a wire-passing groove 32. The wire-passing groove 22 and the wire-passing groove 32 are designed to provide space for the wire to pass through.
[0043] The rotating handle includes a rotating platform 61, on which a threaded rod 62 is mounted. The upper rotating column 3 has a through-hole on the side opposite to the lower rotating column 2, and the lower rotating column 2 has a threaded opening on the side opposite to the upper rotating column 3. The threaded opening matches the threaded rod 62. By rotating the handle, the rotating platform 61 is twisted, allowing the threaded rod 62 and the threaded opening to engage. This allows the rotating platform 61 to press and release the upper rotating column 3, ensuring a tight connection between the upper rotating column 3 and the lower rotating column 2.
[0044] The conductor 7 passes through the first wire groove 22 and the second wire groove 32 and is bent at the threaded rod 62. The bend at the threaded rod 62 conforms to the shape of the threaded rod 62 and is protected by the wire guard spring 8 to ensure the long-term use of the conductor 7.
[0045] The specific implementation method is as follows: In use, the wire 7 passes through the first wire groove 22 and the second wire groove 32 to electrically connect the electronic components in the scale body 1 and the instrument panel 5. This allows the data displayed by the scale body 1 to be displayed on the instrument panel 5. When it is necessary to fold up the handrail 4 and the instrument panel 5, the rotating table 61 is rotated, causing the threaded rod 62 to rotate as well, slowly separating from the upper rotating column 3, releasing the pressure restriction, and allowing the locking teeth 31 to separate from the locking groove 21. This allows the upper rotating column 3 to rotate, thereby allowing the handrail 4 to be folded down and folded up, reducing the space occupied. In addition, the wire protection spring 8 protects the wire 7, reduces friction, and ensures the long-term use of the wire 7.
[0046] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.
[0047] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
