DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a wheel mechanism 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the wheel mechanism 1 shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the wheel mechanism 1 shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the wheel mechanism 1 shown in FIG. 1.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the wheel mechanism 1 of the present invention includes a fixed base 10, a wheel base 1 2, a wheel 14, a fixed tube 16, and an upper gasket 18. The wheel 14 is pivotally connected to the wheel base 12 so that the wheel 14 can rotate. In this embodiment, two wheels 14 are pivotally connected to the opposite side of the wheel base 12. The fixed tube 1 6 pivotally connects the wheelbase 12 to the fixed base 10. In this embodiment, the fixed base 10 has a fixed hole 100, and the wheelbase 12 has a through hole 120. The end portion of the fixed tube 16 passes through the through hole 120 of the wheelbase 12 and is fixed to the fixed hole 100 of the fixed base 10, and the fixed tube 16 pivotally connects the wheelbase 12 to the fixed base 10. Therefore, the wheelbase 12 equipped with the wheels 14 can rotate around the fixed base 10.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the upper gasket 18 may be sleeved on the fixed tube 16, and the upper gasket 18 may be sleeved at any position between the opposing ends of the fixed tube 16, for example, at the middle segment of the fixed tube 16 or at a position one-third away from either end of the fixed tube 16. Therefore, after the wheel mechanism 1 is assembled , the upper gasket 18 is disposed between the fixed base 10 and the wheelbase 12. The upper gasket 18 contacts the inner surface 102 of the fixed base 10 and the upper surface 122 of the wheelbase 12 to prevent the wheel 14 equipped with the wheelbase 12 from moving up and down and to prevent abnormal vibration of the wheel 14. Further , since the upper gasket 18 is disposed between the fixed base 10 and the wheelbase 12 , it can further prevent the inner surface 102 of the fixed base 10 and the upper surface 122 of the wheelbase 12 from colliding and generating noise. In this embodiment, the upper gasket 18 can be made of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), rubber or other elastic materials according to practical applications . . . . . .

[0029] Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a wheel mechanism 1' according to another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between the wheel mechanism 1' and the above-described wheel mechanism 1 is that, as shown in FIG. 4, the wheel mechanism 1' further includes a lower gasket 20 disposed between the wheel base 12 and the fixed tube 16. In this embodiment, the lower gasket 20 is disposed on the lower edge 160 of the fixed tube 16. Therefore, after the wheel mechanism 1' is assembled, the lower gasket 20 abuts against the bottom surface 124 of the wheel base 12 and the lower edge 160 of the fixed tube 16 to prevent the wheel 14 from moving up and down together with the wheel base 12 and prevent abnormal vibration of the wheel 14. Furthermore, since the lower gasket 20 is disposed between the wheel base 12 and the fixed tube 16, it is possible to further prevent the bottom surface 124 of the wheel base 12 and the lower edge 160 of the fixed tube 16 from colliding and generating noise. In this embodiment, the lower gasket 20 can be made of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), rubber or other elastic materials according to practical applications.

[0030] Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a wheel mechanism 1'' according to another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between the wheel mechanism 1'' and the above-described wheel mechanism 1' is that the wheel mechanism 1'' includes only the lower gasket 20 without including the upper gasket 18. In other words, the present invention can dispose only the lower gasket 20 between the wheel base 12 and the fixed tube 16 without disposing the upper gasket 18.

[0031] Referring to FIGS. 6 to 9, FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a wheel mechanism 3 according to another embodiment of the present invention. is a diagram. FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view showing the wheel mechanism 3 shown in FIG. 6, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the rotating shaft 320 shown in FIG. 7. FIG. 9 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the wheel mechanism 3 shown in FIG. 6. .

[0032] As shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the wheel mechanism 3 of the present invention includes a fixed base 30, a wheel base 3 2, a wheel 34, a fixed tube 36, and a lower gasket 40. The wheel 34 is pivotally connected to the wheel base 32 so that the wheel 34 can rotate. The fixed tube 36 pivotally connects the wheel base 32 to the fixed base 30. In this embodiment, the fixed tube 36 is fixed to the fixed base 30. Further, a through hole 360 is provided in the fixed tube 36, and a rotating shaft 320 is provided in the wheel base 32. The rotating shaft 320 is rotatably disposed in the through hole 360, and the fixed tube 36 pivotally connects the wheel base 32 to the fixed base 30. As shown in FIG. 9, the restraint pin 42 is inserted from the side surface of the fixed base 30 into the fixed base 30 and the fixed tube 36 and abuts against the restraint recess 322 of the rotating shaft 320, so that the rotating shaft 320 can be rotatably restrained within the through hole 360 of the fixed tube 36. Therefore, the wheel base 32 provided with the wheel 34 can rotate around the fixed base 30.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 9, the lower gasket 40 is disposed between the wheel base 32 and the fixed tube 36. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the wheel base 32 can have a direction plate 324 fixed to the rotating shaft 320. As shown in FIG. 8, the rotating shaft 320 is a ste ​​​It may have a step 326. Step 326 is used to be welded and positioned with the direction plate 324 so as to determine the length of the rotating shaft 320 exposed from the direction plate 324. The lower gas gasket 40 can be arranged on the direction plate 324. Therefore, after the wheel mechanism 3 is assembled, the lower gas gasket 40 abuts against the direction plate 324 of the wheel base 32 and the lower edge 361 of the fixed tube 36 to prevent the wheel 34 having the wheel base 32 from moving up and down, and prevent abnormal vibration of the wheel 34. Further, since the lower gas gasket 40 is arranged between the wheel base 32 and the fixed tube 36, it is possible to further prevent the direction plate 324 of the wheel base 32 and the fixed tube 36 from colliding and generating noise. In this embodiment, the lower gas gasket 40 can be made of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), rubber, or other elastic materials according to practical applications. Preferably, the top of the rotating shaft 320 abuts against the fixed tube 36 to prevent the lower gas gasket 40 from being crushed. Furthermore, the lower gas gasket 40 can be interference fit on the rotating shaft 320 to prevent the intrusion of dust. Further, the lower gas gasket 40 can also be interference fit with the lower edge 361 of the fixed tube 36. Further, a lubricant may be added to the outer periphery of the lower gas gasket 40 so that no noise is generated while the lower gas gasket 40 and the fixed tube 36 are under impact. Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a wheel mechanism 5 according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing the wheel base 52 shown in FIG. 10.

[0035] As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the wheel mechanism 5 includes a fixed base 50, a wheel base 52, a wheel 54, a rotating shaft 56, and at least one elastic member 58. The wheel 54 is pivotally connected to the wheel base 52 so that the wheel 54 can rotate. The rotating shaft 56 is arranged on the wheel base 52, and the wheel base 52 is pivotally connected to the fixed base 50 by the rotating shaft 56. Therefore, the wheel base 52 provided with the wheel 54 can rotate around the fixed base 50. In this embodiment, the wheel mechanism 5 can include four elastic members 58. The four elastic members 58 can be arranged around the rotating shaft 56 on the wheel base 52. Note that the number and position of the elastic members 58 can be determined according to the actual use, so the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. In this embodiment, the elastic member 58 is circular, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In another embodiment, the elastic member 58 may be rectangular, elliptical, or other shapes according to the actual use. After the wheel mechanism 5 is assembled, the elastic member 58 is arranged between the fixed base 50 and the wheel base 52 to prevent the wheel 54 having the wheel base 52 from moving up and down, and to prevent abnormal vibration of the wheel 54. Further, since the elastic member 58 is arranged between the fixed base 50 and the wheel base 52, it is possible to further prevent the wheel base 52 and the fixed base 50 from colliding and generating noise. In this

[0036] Referring to FIGS. 12 to 14, FIG. 12 shows a wheel mechanism 5' according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view, FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing the fixed base 50 shown in FIG. 12, and FIG. 14 is a perspective view showing the elastic member 58 shown in FIG. 13. The main difference between the wheel mechanism 5' and the above-described wheel mechanism 5 is that, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, the rotating shaft 56 of the wheel mechanism 5' is arranged on the fixed base 50, and the elastic member 58 of the wheel mechanism 5' is ring-shaped. In this embodiment, the elastic member 58 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 56 and abuts against the fixed base 50. The elastic member 58 can be interference-fitted with the rotating shaft 56 so that the elastic member 58 does not come off the rotating shaft 56 when the wheel base 52 is removed from the fixed base 50. The shape of the elastic member 58 can be an elliptical shape, a circular shape, a rectangular shape, or the like according to the actual use. In another embodiment, the elastic member 58 shown in FIG. 13 can also be replaced with the four elastic members 58 shown in FIG. 11 according to the actual use. As shown in FIG. 12, after the wheel mechanism 5' is assembled, the elastic member is arranged between the fixed base 50 and the wheel base 52 to prevent the wheel 54 having the wheel base 52 from moving up and down and to prevent abnormal vibration of the wheel 54. Furthermore, since the elastic member 58 is arranged between the fixed base 50 and the wheel base 52, it is possible to further prevent the wheel base 52 and the fixed base 50 from colliding and generating noise. The elastic member 58 may be interference-fitted to the contact surface of the wheel base 52 so that the elastic member 58 is surely in close contact with the wheel base 52.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 14, the elastic member 58 can have at least one protrusion 580. In this embodiment, the elastic member 58 can have two protrusions 580. Note that the number and position of the protrusions 58 0 can be determined according to the actual use, so the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment state. After the wheel mechanism 5' is assembled, the protrusion 580 abuts against the wheel base 52. In other words, the elastic member 58 can be partially in contact with the wheel base 52 by the protrusion 580. In another embodiment, the elastic member 58 may not have the protrusion 580. At this time, the elastic member 58 is in surface contact with the wheel base 52. In another embodiment form, the elastic member 58 can also be partially in contact with the fixed base 50 by the protrusion 580 be.
