Definitions
- the present invention relates to a caster having a shock absorbing mechanism attached to a wheelchair or the like.
- a bracket connected to the vehicle body, a link rotatably connected to the bracket to support the wheels, and an interposition between the bracket and the link.
- cushion rubber DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
- the loaded load and the shock absorbing effect are determined by the spring characteristics of the cushion rubber. Therefore, there were problems that the cushion rubber was too hard and the initial operation deteriorated, and the cushion rubber was too soft and metal-to-metal contact occurred.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to provide a shock absorbing mechanism suitable for casters.
- the present invention provides a bracket coupled to a vehicle body, a link rotatably connected to the bracket, a wheel rotatably coupled to the link, It has a torsion rubber bush that deforms torsionally and a compression rubber block that compresses and deforms with the rotation of the link. An initial compression part which is partially reduced is formed. For this reason, the compression rubber block deforms the initial compression section in response to the initial input to the wheels, thereby smoothing the rotation of the link and suppressing the input to the vehicle body.
- the casing can be made more compact.
- the initial compression section was formed by squeezing the middle of the cylindrical compression rubber block into a conical shape. For this reason, when the compressed rubber block is compressed, it deforms first from the initial compression part with a small cross-sectional area, and as the amount of compression increases, the conical parts sandwiching the initial compression part deform from thin parts. By doing so, its elastic restoring force increases rapidly.
- the initial compression part was formed by removing the middle part of the cylindrical compressed rubber block in an annular shape. For this reason, when the compressed rubber block is compressed, it deforms first from the initial compression part with a small cross-sectional area, and each large diameter part sandwiching the initial compression part deforms, so that its elastic restoring force becomes Soaring. This effectively absorbs the impact that the wheels receive from the road surface, prevents metal-to-metal contact where the link collides with the bracket, etc., and suppresses input to the vehicle body.
- a retainer was joined in the middle of the compressed rubber block, and as the initial compression part was compressed, the retainer came into contact with the member supporting the initial compression part. For this reason, when the compressed rubber block is compressed, it is compressed first from the initial compression part with a small cross-sectional area, and the elastic restoring force increases rapidly when the retainer contacts the member supporting the initial compression part. . This effectively absorbs the impact that the wheels receive from the road surface, prevents metal-to-metal contact when the link collides with a bracket, etc., and suppresses input to the vehicle body.
- the upper and lower portions of the compressed rubber block are fitted into the annular spacers, respectively, and the compressed spacers come into contact with each other as the compressed rubber block is compressed.
- the maximum compression amount of the rack is now regulated.
- the compression ratio of the compressed rubber block can be specified by the contact between the spacers, so that the stroke amount of the cascade can be accurately controlled, and the individual damping performance due to the variation of the compressed rubber block can be controlled. The difference can be suppressed.
- the annular spacer has a height adjustment member to change the maximum compression amount of the compressed rubber block. For this reason, it is possible to easily change the stroke amount of the CAS.
- the initial compression portion is formed by squeezing the cylindrical compression rubber block into a conical shape, and the end of the compression rubber block is fitted to an annular spacer, and the initial compression portion is compressed.
- the end surface of the spacer For this reason, when the compressed rubber block is compressed, it is compressed first from the initial compression section with a small cross-sectional area, thereby smoothing the rotation of the link and suppressing input to the vehicle body.
- the initial compression section joins the end face of the spacer, and the elastic restoring force provided by the compressed rubber block increases sharply, restricting the rotation range of the link. As a result, metal-to-metal contact is prevented, and input to the vehicle body is suppressed.
