Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of caster technology, specifically to a height-adjustable caster. Background Technology

[0002] Casters are a general term, typically including swivel casters and fixed casters. Swivel casters, also known as universal casters, allow 360° rotation; fixed casters, also known as directional casters, lack a rotating structure and cannot turn. Lifting machines require casters for movement, and due to variations in the height of the object being lifted and the specific lifting requirements, the casters need to be height-adjustable. Existing lifting machine casters generally lack height adjustment functionality; the few that do have this function are mostly complex in structure, have high manufacturing costs, and exhibit poor stability during movement. Therefore, this invention proposes a height-adjustable caster to address the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the defects in the existing technology and provide an adjustable height caster. This is achieved by screwing a mounting plate onto the threaded outer surface of a central axle seat, and providing a lifting adjustment control mechanism between the mounting plate and the central axle seat. When the caster height needs to be adjusted, the lifting adjustment control mechanism is unlocked. After the caster is adjusted to the appropriate height, the lifting adjustment control mechanism is readjusted to the locked state. The operation is simple and convenient. The overall structure is ingeniously and simply designed, easy to manufacture and implement, has low manufacturing costs, and offers high overall stability and controllability, which helps ensure good stability during walking.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is to design an adjustable height caster, including a mounting plate, a central bearing, a bracket, and rollers. The mounting plate has a central screw hole, and the outer peripheral side of the central bearing has a threaded outer surface. The mounting plate is screwed onto the threaded outer surface of the central bearing through the central screw hole. The bracket includes a top plate and two arm plates correspondingly fixed to the front and rear sides of the lower end of the top plate. The lower end of the central bearing is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the top plate of the bracket. The rollers are rotatably mounted on the lower inner sides of the two arm plates through a wheel and axle assembly. A lifting adjustment control mechanism is provided between the mounting plate and the central bearing. The lifting adjustment control mechanism has two states: unlocked and locked. In the unlocked state, the central screw hole on the mounting plate and the threaded outer surface on the central bearing can rotate relative to each other to adjust the height of the caster. In the locked state, the mounting plate and the central bearing are locked together.

[0005] This utility model discloses an adjustable height caster. A mounting plate is screwed onto the threaded outer surface of a central axle seat, and a lifting adjustment control mechanism is provided between the mounting plate and the central axle seat. When the caster height needs to be adjusted, the lifting adjustment control mechanism is unlocked. After the caster is adjusted to the appropriate height, the lifting adjustment control mechanism is readjusted to the locked state. The operation is simple and convenient. The overall structure is ingeniously and simply designed, easy to manufacture and implement, has low manufacturing costs, and offers high overall stability and controllability, which helps ensure good stability during walking.

[0006] A preferred technical solution is that the upper end face of the central shaft seat has an upward-opening groove, and an arc-shaped groove communicating with the interior of the groove is formed on the side wall of the groove. A threaded through hole is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the groove, longitudinally penetrating the upper and lower ends of the central shaft seat. The threaded through hole also penetrates the arc-shaped groove. A screw is screwed into the threaded through hole. The arc-shaped groove, the groove, the threaded through hole, and the screw constitute the lifting adjustment control mechanism: in the unlocked state, the screw is screwed into the portion of the threaded through hole located on the upper or lower side of the arc-shaped groove; in the locked state, the screw pulls the portions of the groove side wall located on the upper and lower sides of the arc-shaped groove together, causing the outer surface of the thread to deform and abut against the central screw hole on the mounting plate. The lifting adjustment control mechanism has a clever and reasonable structural design. By rotating the adjusting screw to adjust its position inside the threaded through hole, the lifting adjustment control mechanism can be easily switched between the unlocked and locked states. This also ensures that the overall structure of the caster of this invention is simple to design and highly feasible to manufacture and implement.

[0007] A further preferred technical solution is that the arc-shaped groove is located in the horizontal direction, and its length accounts for 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the circumference of the outer surface of the thread. The threaded through hole passes through the middle of the arc-shaped groove. The arc-shaped groove's length accounting for 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the circumference of the outer surface of the thread ensures good overall stability of the outer periphery of the groove, and also ensures that the portion of the outer periphery of the groove located on the upper and lower sides of the arc-shaped groove has good relative elastic deformation capability. This ensures that the screw can effectively tighten and connect the portion of the groove's sidewall located on the upper and lower sides of the arc-shaped groove together, thus ensuring good stability and firmness when the mounting plate and the central shaft seat are in the locked state.

[0008] A further preferred technical solution is that the groove has a "D"-shaped structure, and the threaded through hole is located in the middle of the straight side of the groove. This gives the straight side of the outer peripheral wall of the groove a large thickness, thereby helping to ensure that the location of the threaded through hole has good structural strength.

[0009] A further preferred technical solution is that the upper end of the threaded through hole is provided with a countersunk groove structure, and the screw passes through the threaded through hole from top to bottom. This ensures the ease of operation of the lifting adjustment control mechanism when switching between the unlocked and locked states, and the screw nut is embedded in the countersunk groove structure at the upper end of the threaded through hole, so it will not interfere with the normal installation and use of the caster.

[0010] A further preferred technical solution is that the bottom of the groove is provided with a hexagonal countersunk groove corresponding to the axial centerline of the central shaft seat. When adjusting the height of the casters, a hexagonal wrench can be inserted into the hexagonal countersunk groove on the upper surface of the central shaft seat, which improves the convenience of adjusting the height of the casters.

[0011] A further preferred technical solution includes a downwardly extending internally threaded sleeve at the lower end of the mounting plate. The upper end of the internally threaded sleeve is coaxially connected to the lower end of the central threaded hole. The central threaded hole is screwed onto the upper end of the threaded outer surface of the central bearing, and the internally threaded sleeve is screwed onto the lower end of the threaded outer surface of the central bearing. The internally threaded sleeve effectively extends the axial length of the central threaded hole, thereby increasing the effective contact area between the mounting plate and the central bearing, further improving the overall stability of the caster of this invention.

[0012] A further preferred technical solution includes a shaft extending downwards from the center of the lower end face of the central bearing seat; an annular groove one on the outer periphery of the lower end face of the central bearing seat; an annular groove two coaxially located on the outer periphery of the upper end of the central hole on the upper end face of the top plate of the bracket; an annular groove three communicating with the lower end of the central hole on the lower end face of the top plate; the lower end of the shaft passing through the central hole of the top plate and extending to its lower side; a nut screwed onto the threaded section at the lower end of the shaft; the lower end face of the central bearing seat and the upper end face of the top plate being rotatably connected by thrust ball bearings embedded in the annular groove one and annular groove two; and the lower end face of the top plate being rotatably connected to the shaft by a tapered roller bearing embedded in the annular groove three. The lower end of the central bearing seat is rotatably connected to the top plate of the bracket via components such as the shaft, bearings, and nut, resulting in a simple connection method that ensures the smooth manufacture and implementation of the caster of this utility model.

[0013] A further preferred technical solution is that a washer is fitted onto the lower end of the shaft body, located between the lower end face of the inner ring of the tapered roller bearing and the nut. This effectively improves the clamping stability of the nut on the inner ring of the tapered roller bearing, thereby ensuring good embedding stability of the tapered roller bearing within the annular groove on the lower end face of the top plate.

[0014] A further preferred technical solution is that a threaded through hole two is provided at the bottom of the groove, and an oil injection nozzle is screwed to the upper end of the threaded through hole two, with the lower end communicating with the annular groove one. Lubricating oil can be periodically added to the thrust ball bearing through the oil injection nozzle to ensure good rotational flexibility of the caster of this invention.

[0015] The advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model discloses an adjustable height caster, which is installed by screwing a mounting plate onto the threaded outer surface of a central axle seat. A lifting adjustment control mechanism is provided between the mounting plate and the central axle seat. When the height of the caster needs to be adjusted, the lifting adjustment control mechanism is adjusted to the unlocked state. After the caster is adjusted to the appropriate height position, the lifting adjustment control mechanism is readjusted to the locked state. The operation steps are simple and convenient. The overall structure is ingenious and simple, easy to manufacture and implement, low in manufacturing cost, and has high overall stability and controllability, which helps to ensure good stability when walking.

[0017] 2. The lifting adjustment control mechanism has a clever and reasonable structural design. By rotating the adjusting screw to the position inside the threaded through hole, the lifting adjustment control mechanism can be easily switched between the unlocked and locked states. This also ensures that the overall structure of the caster of this utility model is simple and has high feasibility for manufacture and implementation.

[0018] 3. The length of the arc-shaped groove is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the circumference of the outer surface of the thread. On the one hand, it ensures the overall firmness of the outer circumference sidewall of the groove, and on the other hand, it ensures that the part of the outer circumference sidewall of the groove located on the upper and lower sides of the arc-shaped groove has good relative elastic deformation ability. This ensures that the screw can effectively pull the part of the groove sidewall located on the upper and lower sides of the arc-shaped groove together, that is, it ensures that the mounting plate and the central shaft seat have good stability and firmness when they are locked.

[0019] 4. The groove has a "D" shaped structure, and the threaded through hole is located in the middle of the straight side of the groove. This gives the straight side of the outer perimeter of the groove a large thickness, which helps to ensure good structural strength at the location of the threaded through hole.

[0020] 5. The upper end of the threaded through hole is provided with a countersunk groove structure, and the screw passes through the threaded through hole from top to bottom. This ensures the ease of operation of the lifting adjustment control mechanism when switching between the unlocked and locked states, and the screw nut is embedded in the countersunk groove structure at the upper end of the threaded through hole, so it will not interfere with the normal installation and use of the caster.

[0021] 6. The mounting plate has a downwardly extending internally threaded sleeve at its lower end. The upper end of the internally threaded sleeve is coaxially connected to the lower end of the central threaded hole. The central threaded hole is screwed onto the upper end of the threaded outer surface of the central shaft seat, and the internally threaded sleeve is screwed onto the lower end of the threaded outer surface of the central shaft seat. The internally threaded sleeve effectively extends the axial length of the central threaded hole, thereby increasing the effective contact area between the mounting plate and the central shaft seat, further improving the overall stability of the caster of this utility model.

[0022] 7. A threaded through hole two is provided at the bottom of the groove. An oil injection nozzle is screwed onto the upper end of the threaded through hole two, and the lower end communicates with the annular groove one. Lubricating oil can be periodically added to the thrust ball bearing through the oil injection nozzle to ensure good rotational flexibility of the caster of this utility model.
