[0004] However, the support structure of the aforementioned swivel chair has the problem of a large height dimension in the axial direction, making it impossible to obtain a thin swivel device.

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a thin rotating device.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned problems, the rotating device involved in this utility model has the following structure: It has a first substrate; A central axis protruding upward from the upper surface of the first substrate; At least one support protruding upward from the upper surface of the first substrate; An annular elastic body is installed between the aforementioned central shaft and the aforementioned support body; A second substrate, which is assembled to cover the first substrate and is rotatably mounted around the central axis; and A drive body disposed within the aforementioned annular elastic body and rotating integrally with the aforementioned second substrate to push against the aforementioned annular elastic body. As the second substrate rotates, the driving body begins to move from its initial state, causing the annular elastomer to undergo elastic deformation. On the other hand, the elastic force of the aforementioned annular elastomer, which has undergone elastic deformation, is used to push the aforementioned driving body back to the initial state, thereby restoring the second substrate to the initial state.

[0007] According to this invention, a drive mechanism for automatically restoring the second substrate to its initial state is disposed on the first substrate. Therefore, the rotating device as a whole forms a flat structure, thereby enabling a thin rotating device.

[0008] In particular, it has the effect of having a thin rotating device that can automatically return to its initial state even if rotated 360 degrees in either the clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

[0009] As an embodiment of this utility model, multiple rolling elements may be arranged in a ring around the central axis between the first substrate and the second substrate.

[0010] According to this embodiment, by rotating multiple rolling elements, the coefficient of friction between the first substrate and the second substrate decreases, and a rotating device that can perform smooth rotational movements can be obtained.

[0011] As another embodiment of this utility model, one end of an annular elastic body can also be mounted on a cylindrical body that is rotatably mounted on a central shaft.

[0012] According to this embodiment, the annular elastomer is supported by a cylindrical body mounted on a central shaft. Therefore, the curvature of the annular elastomer is reduced, stress concentration is less likely to occur, and a rotating device with a long service life can be obtained.

[0013] In another embodiment of this utility model, the other end of the annular elastic body can be mounted on the cylindrical body of the support in a rotatable manner.

[0014] According to this embodiment, the annular elastomer is supported by a cylindrical body mounted on a support. Therefore, the curvature of the annular elastomer is reduced, stress concentration is less likely to occur, and a rotating device with a long service life can be obtained.

[0015] As a different embodiment of this utility model, the support body can also be multiple support pins arranged side by side.

[0016] According to this embodiment, the curvature of the annular elastic body mounted on multiple support pins is reduced, making it less prone to stress concentration and resulting in a rotating device with a long service life.

[0017] As a different embodiment of this utility model, the support body may also be a support pin formed by cutting and flipping up the first substrate.

[0018] According to this embodiment, the number of parts / assembly time is reduced, and productivity is increased.

[0019] As a different embodiment of this utility model, the annular elastomer can be circular in cross-section or square in cross-section.

[0020] In addition, a ring-shaped elastomer can have a trapezoidal cross-section or an elliptical cross-section.

[0021] According to these embodiments, by selecting annular elastomers as needed, a rotating device that performs the desired rotational action can be obtained.

[0022] As a different embodiment of this utility model, a limiting body may also be provided to avoid a jamming state that may occur when the driving body is located on the extension line of the straight line connecting the central shaft and the support body.

[0023] According to this embodiment, a thin rotating device can be obtained that does not need to worry about forming a so-called taut state even if it is rotated 360 degrees in either the clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and will automatically return to the initial state.

[0024] As a different embodiment of this utility model, the limiting body can also be installed on the central shaft and has a protrusion that presses against the driving body to form an unstable state.

[0025] According to this embodiment, since it is mounted on the central shaft, a rotating device that is easy to assemble can be obtained.

[0026] As a different embodiment of this utility model, the limiting body can also be fixed to the first substrate and have a pin shape that is pressed against the driving body to form an unstable state.

[0027] According to this embodiment, by fixing it to the first substrate, a rotating device that can ensure stable operation can be obtained.

[0028] As a chair involved in this utility model, there exists a chair equipped with a rotating device according to any of the above embodiments.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] according to Figures 1 to 32 The accompanying drawings illustrate the rotating device involved in this utility model application.

[0032] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, in the rotating device according to the first embodiment, the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 70 are supported rotatably about the central axis 20 by a retainer 60 and a rolling element 61 disposed between them.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, the first substrate 10 has a planar and approximately square shape, with a central hole 11 that appears square when viewed from above. An annular track groove 12 centered on the central hole 11 is formed on the first substrate 10 by pressure processing. A pair of support holes 13, 13 are provided near the inner peripheral edge of the track groove 12. Elongated mounting holes 14 are formed at each of the four corners of the first substrate 10.

[0034] A central shaft 20 is inserted into the central hole 11 of the first substrate 10. The central shaft 20 has a neck portion 21 with a square cross-section, and an external thread is formed in the shaft portion. The central shaft 20 has a cross-shaped cutting groove on its front end face for riveting and fixing. Moreover, as Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, a resin cylindrical body 22 is rotatably inserted into the shaft portion of the central shaft 20 protruding from the first substrate 10.

[0035] Support pins 30 and 30, which serve as support bodies, are riveted and fixed to the support holes 13 and 13 of the first substrate 10.

[0036] An annular elastomer 40 is mounted between the cylindrical body 22 and the support pins 30, 30. The annular elastomer 40 is constructed by stacking three annular elastomers 41. Figure 16 as well as Figure 17 As shown, the annular elastic element 41 has a circular cross-section. Of course, the number of annular elastic elements 41 can be appropriately increased or decreased as needed.

[0037] A generally cylindrical drive body 50 is rotatably pressed into the annular elastic body 40. A support shaft 51, described later, is inserted into the drive body 50 and mounted on the inward surface of the second substrate 70. Therefore, when the second substrate 70 rotates, the drive body 50 causes the annular elastic body 40 to elastically deform and rotate around the central axis 20 on the first substrate 10.

[0038] Except for the difference in the position and number of the support holes 73, the second substrate 70 has the same shape as the first substrate 10, and is provided with a central hole 71, a track groove 72, and a mounting hole 74. Furthermore, the central hole 71 of the second substrate 70 is fitted into the central shaft 20 mounted on the first substrate 10, with the upper end of the central shaft 20 protruding from the upper surface of the second substrate 70. A first track plate 80 is assembled at the upper end of the protruding central shaft 20.

[0039] The first track plate 80 is circular in shape when viewed from above, and has a through hole 81 at its center. A track groove 82 is provided around the through hole 81 on the first track plate 80. A plurality of rolling elements 83 are arranged in the track groove 82 in a rolling manner. Furthermore, on the second track plate 84, which is circular in shape when viewed from above and covers the upper surface of the first track plate 80, an internal thread is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the through hole 85 formed by a protruding process. The internal thread can be screwed into the external thread of the central shaft 20.

[0040] Next, the assembly method of the first embodiment will be described.

[0041] The support pins 31, 31 are inserted into the support holes 13, 13 of the first substrate 10 and riveted for fixation. Then, the central shaft 20 is inserted into the square center hole 11 of the first substrate 10 and embedded in the lower neck 21 of the square to prevent rotation and for positioning. After the cylindrical body 22 is fitted into the central shaft 20 protruding from the first substrate 10, an annular elastic body 40 is mounted on the cylindrical body 22 and the two support pins 30, 30. Next, the drive body 50 is pressed into the annular elastic body 40 and positioned. Then, the retainer 60 and the rolling element 61 are assembled into the track groove 12 of the first substrate 10.

[0042] The support shaft 51 is inserted into the support hole 73 of the second substrate 70 and riveted in place. Then, the support shaft 51 is inserted into the through hole of the drive body 50, while the center hole 71 of the second substrate 70 is fitted into the center shaft 20. Thus, as the second substrate 70 rotates, the drive body 50 can rotate around the center shaft 20 while causing the annular elastic body 40 to elastically deform.

[0043] The through hole 81 of the first track plate 80 is fitted into the front end of the central shaft 20, which protrudes from the central hole 71 of the second base plate 70. Then, after arranging a plurality of rolling elements 83 in the track groove 82 of the first track plate 80, the internal thread portion formed on the inner circumferential surface of the through hole 85 of the second track plate 84 is screwed into the external thread portion provided on the shaft portion of the central shaft 20. Furthermore, the rotation of the second base plate 70 is adjusted by adjusting the screwing state of the second track plate 84. Finally, the assembly operation is completed by riveting the cutting groove provided on the front end face of the central shaft 20.

[0044] Next, the operation and actions of the first embodiment will be described.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, the central shaft 20, the drive body 50, and a pair of support pins 30, 30 are arranged side by side along the same straight line. Then, as... Figure 7 As shown, if the second substrate 70 is rotated approximately 90 degrees clockwise, the support shaft 51 rotates the drive body 50 around the central axis 20. Therefore, the annular elastic body 40 is stretched and undergoes elastic deformation. In this state, if the load on the second substrate 70 is released, the drive body 50 is pushed back due to the elastic force of the annular elastic body 40, and the second substrate 70 returns to its initial state.

[0046] Furthermore, if the second substrate 70 is rotated 180 degrees clockwise, then as Figure 8 As shown, the support shaft 51 rotates the drive body 50 around the central shaft 20. The drive body 50 and the support pins 30 are arranged side by side on the same straight line across the central shaft 20.

[0047] like Figure 9As shown, the second substrate 70 is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise from its initial state. If the load on the second substrate 70 is released, the driving body 50 is pushed back due to the elastic force of the annular elastic body 40, returning to the initial state. Thus, the second substrate 70 also returns to its initial state.

[0048] Therefore, according to the first embodiment, the second substrate 70 can be automatically restored to its initial state regardless of whether it is rotated in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

[0049] like Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the second embodiment is largely the same as the first embodiment described above, except that it has a limiting body 90.

[0050] The limiting body 90 is formed by a through hole 91 that appears square when viewed from above (see reference). Figure 11 It is inserted into the lower part 21 of the neck, which has a square cross-section, of the central shaft 20 and is assembled in a non-rotatable manner.

[0051] In the first embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, when the drive body 50 rotates and reaches the position where the drive body 50 and the support pins 30, 30 are on the same straight line across the central axis 20, a so-called tensioned state will be formed, and the second substrate 70 may not be able to automatically recover.

[0052] However, according to the second embodiment, when the drive body 50 and the support pins 30, 30 are aligned on the same straight line across the central axis 20, the drive body 50 presses against the protrusion 92 of the limiting body 90. Therefore, the limiting body 90 limits the drive body 50 in a manner that causes it to enter an unstable state. As a result, a so-called tensioned state can be avoided, thus ensuring the automatic recovery of the second substrate 70.

[0053] Other aspects are the same as those described above, so the same symbols are used to mark the same parts and the descriptions are omitted.

[0054] like Figures 13 to 15 As shown, the third embodiment is largely the same as the first embodiment described above. The difference lies in the presence of a pin-shaped limiting body 93. The limiting body 93 is riveted and fixed to a support hole 15 located near the center hole 11 of the first substrate 10. Figure 15 As shown, the aforementioned support hole 15 is located on a straight line at the midpoint between the central hole 11 and the support holes 13, 13.

[0055] According to this embodiment, such as Figure 13As shown, when the drive body 50 and the support pins 30, 30 are aligned on the central axis 20, the limiting body 93 presses against the drive body 50. Therefore, the limiting body 93 limits the drive body 50 in a manner that causes it to enter an unstable state. As a result, by avoiding a so-called tension state, it has the effect of ensuring the automatic recovery of the second substrate 70.

[0056] Other aspects are the same as those described above, so the same symbols are used to mark the same parts and the descriptions are omitted.

[0057] like Figure 16 as well as Figure 17 As shown, in the above embodiment, the annular elastic body 40 is constructed by combining annular elastic elements 41 with a circular cross-section. Conversely, it can also be constructed as follows: Figure 18 as well as Figure 19 As shown, a rectangular annular elastomer 40 (fourth embodiment) can also be used, as in... Figure 20 As shown, an annular elastomer 40 with a generally trapezoidal cross-section is used (fifth embodiment). Alternatively, it can be as follows... Figure 21 As shown, there is an annular elastomer 40 with an elliptical cross-section (sixth embodiment).

[0058] like Figure 22 As shown, the seventh embodiment is the case of increasing the spacing between adjacent pairs of support pins 30, 30.

[0059] According to this embodiment, since the spacing between the pair of support pins 30, 30 is widened, it has the advantage that the riveting operation becomes easier.

[0060] Other aspects are the same as those described above, so the same symbols are used to mark the same parts and the descriptions are omitted.

[0061] like Figure 23 as well as Figure 24 As shown, the eighth embodiment is a case of increasing the diameter of a pair of support pins 31, 31.

[0062] According to this embodiment, the curvature of the annular elastomer 40 mounted on the support pins 31, 31 increases. Therefore, it has the advantages of reducing stress concentration on the annular elastomer 40, making it less prone to fatigue failure, and resulting in a rotating device with a long service life.

[0063] Other aspects are the same as those described above, so the same symbols are used to mark the same parts and the descriptions are omitted.

[0064] like Figure 25 As shown in Figure 26, the ninth embodiment is to set the drive body 50 to a large diameter and integrate it with the support pin.

[0065] According to this embodiment, the number of components and assembly time are reduced, productivity is increased, and the annular elastomer 40 is not prone to fatigue failure, resulting in a long-life rotating device.

[0066] Other aspects are the same as those described above, so the same symbols are used to mark the same parts and the descriptions are omitted.

[0067] like Figure 27 as well as Figure 28 As shown, the tenth embodiment is a case where the support pin 31 is set as one piece and is set as a large diameter.

[0068] According to this embodiment, a large-diameter support pin 31 mounted on the first substrate 10 supports the annular elastomer 40. Therefore, it has the advantages of reducing the number of parts / assembly time and increasing productivity.

[0069] In addition, it has the advantages of reducing stress concentration in the annular elastomer 40 and obtaining a rotating device with a long service life.

[0070] Other aspects are the same as those described above, so the same symbols are used to mark the same parts and the descriptions are omitted.

[0071] like Figure 29 as well as Figure 30 As shown, the eleventh embodiment is to have one support pin 30 as the support body, and to fit a large-diameter resin cylindrical body 32 into the support pin 30.

[0072] According to this embodiment, the annular elastomer 40 is mounted via a large-diameter resin cylindrical body 32, thus providing the advantage of a rotating device that operates smoothly and has a long service life.

[0073] Other aspects are the same as those described above, so the same symbols are used to mark the same parts and the descriptions are omitted.

[0074] like Figure 31 as well as Figure 32 As shown, the twelfth embodiment is a case where the support pin 33 is cut and flipped up from the first substrate 10.

[0075] According to this embodiment, it has the advantages of fewer parts, less assembly time, and high productivity of the rotary device.

[0076] Other aspects are the same as those described above, so the same symbols are used to mark the same parts and the descriptions are omitted.
