BACKGROUND

With the rapid development of mechanical technologies, more and more industries begin to use turntables to realize mechanical rotation operations.

Currently, in turntables of the related art, there are relatively few ±180° (plus or minus 180°) rotation positioning structures, and most of the rotation positioning structures cannot simultaneously rotate and position structures at +180° and −180°, while rotation positioning structures in other applications adopt complex mechanical limiting such as screw positioning, matching of a follow-up slider with a bumper to cooperate with electrical limiting or software limiting to protect abnormal rotation of a rotating mechanism.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of instead of all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a flexible limiting mechanism 100, which, referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, includes a base 1, a first bearing 2, a turntable 3, and a limiting assembly 4.

The flexible limiting mechanism 100 is configured to realize limiting of 180° forward and reverse rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise) of the turntable 3.

The base 1 includes a base body 11 and a through hole 12. The through hole 12 passes through the base body 11 and in a circle shape. The first bearing 2 is mounted in the through hole 12 and forms a fixing connection with the base body 11.

The turntable 3 includes a turntable body 31 and a shifting lever 32. The turntable body 31 is in a ring shape and is inserted into the first bearing 2 to form a fixing connection with the first bearing. The shifting lever 32 is formed by protruding from a periphery of the turntable body 31. The turntable body 31 realizes a rotational connection with the base body 11 through the first bearing 2.

The limiting assembly 4 and the shifting lever 32 are arranged on a same side of the base body 11. The limiting assembly 4 includes a slider 41 slidably arranged on the base body 11, a limiting portion 42 formed by protruding from a side of the slider 41 adjacent to the turntable 3, and two elastic members 43 arranged along a sliding direction of the slider 41 and respectively fixed to two ends of the slider 41. Respective ends of the two elastic members 43 away from the slider 41 are respectively fixedly connected to the base body 11. The limiting portion 42 at an initial position and the shifting lever 32 are located on a straight line of a diameter of the turntable body 31, and the limiting portion 42 is arranged apart from the turntable body 31. In addition, two opposite sides of the base body 11 corresponding to the limiting portion 42 along a circumferential direction thereof are respectively provided with limiting surfaces 13 evenly spaced from the limiting portion 42.

When the limiting portion 42 is at the initial position, that is, when the turntable 3 is at the initial position, the limiting portion 42 and the shifting lever 32 are respectively on two opposite sides of the turntable 3. When the shifting lever 32 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise to the limiting portion 42 until the limiting portion 42 is pressed against and the limiting portion 42 is driven to move, the limiting portion 42 abuts against the limiting surface 13 on the corresponding side to realize limiting when the shifting lever 32 rotates by 180°. When the shifting lever 32 is reset, that is, when the shifting lever 32 returns to the initial position, the shifting lever 32 is disengaged from the limiting portion 42, the limiting portion 42 may rebound under elastic forces of the elastic members 43 on the two ends of the slider 41 to realize resetting, and the slider 41 may not move back and forth on the base body 11, so as to reduce generation of noise and have good stability.

In this embodiment, the base 1 further includes a mounting groove 14 recessed inwardly from the base body 11 and in a circle shape, a sliding groove 15 recessed inwardly from the base body 11, spaced apart from the mounting groove 14, and in a strip shape, and a connecting groove 16 recessed inwardly from the base body 11 and communicated with the mounting groove 14 and the sliding groove 15, the through hole 12 is formed through the other side from a bottom of the mounting groove 14, the slider 41 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 15, and the limiting portion 42 extends from the connecting groove 16 to the mounting groove 14. In this way, planes of the turntable 3, the slider 41, and the limiting portion 42 away from the base body 11 can be closer to a plane of the base body 11 or parallel to/lower than the plane of the base body 11, so as to reduce an overall height of the flexible limiting mechanism 100, which occupies a smaller space and has better adaptability.

Two opposite groove side surfaces of the connecting groove 16 serve as the two limiting surfaces 13 on the two opposite sides of the limiting portion 42. In this way, the overall height of the flexible limit mechanism 100 can be reduced, and formation of the limiting surface 13 is facilitated. Certainly, according to an actual requirement, the mounting groove 14, the sliding groove 15, and the connecting groove 16 may not be arranged, but the two opposite sides of the base body 11 corresponding to the limiting portion 42 along the circumferential direction thereof are required to be provided with convex structures protruded, so that planes of two opposite sides of the two convex structures corresponding to the limiting portion 42 form the limiting surfaces 13.

The slider 41 is kept in the middle of the sliding groove 15 by elastic forces of the two elastic members 43 when there is no external force. The slider 41 and the limiting portion 42 form a T-shaped structure. In this way, a posture of the slider 41 and the limiting portion 42 can be better controlled by two elastic members 43 of a same length, so as to prevent shaking of the two in the case of rebounding, so as to reduce wear caused by collision between the two and the base body 11 and reduce generation of noise.

A surface of the slider 41 is treated with diamond-like coating (DLC). In this way, hardness and wear resistance of the slider 41 can be effectively improved to reduce a coefficient of friction between the slider and the base body 11, thereby improving sliding performance of the slider 41 and reducing rotating torque of the turntable 3.

The elastic member 43 is a spring. Certainly, according to an actual requirement, a member with elastic recovery such as a C-shaped elastic piece or an S-shaped elastic piece may be alternatively selected as the elastic member 43.

The turntable body 31 includes a body portion 311 in a ring shape and an extension portion 312 protruding from an inner edge of the body portion 311 along an axial direction thereof and in a tubular shape. The extension portion 312 is inserted into and fixed to the first bearing 2. The shifting lever 32 is formed by protruding outwardly from a periphery of the body portion 311 along a radial direction thereof. In this way, the turntable 3 can have a hollow structure to facilitate a wiring harness to pass, preventing excessive twisting of the wiring harness caused by rotation of the turntable 3. The extension portion 312 is inserted into the first bearing 2 and then passes through the through hole 12.

In addition, the flexible limiting mechanism 100 further includes a cover plate 5 that covers the base body 11 and simultaneously completely covers the mounting groove 14, the sliding groove 15, and the connecting groove 16. A perforation 51 is formed at a position of the cover plate 5 corresponding to the through hole 12. In this way, the turntable 3 in the mounting groove 14, the slider 41 in the sliding groove 15, and the limiting portion 42 in the connecting groove 16 can be protected by the cover plate 5 to prevent potential safety hazards caused by exposure.

The base body 11 is provided with an inwardly recessed groove 18 at a position corresponding to an edge of the cover plate 5. The cover plate 5 covers the groove 18 and is fixed through a plurality of screws. In this way, a plane of the cover plate 5 away from the base body 11 can be closer to a plane of the base body 11 or parallel to/lower than the plane of the base body 11, so as to reduce an overall height of the flexible limiting mechanism 100, which occupies a smaller space and has better adaptability.

Two ends of the slider 41 are respectively provided with guide grooves 411 recessed inwardly, and the two elastic members 43 are partially inserted into the two guide grooves, respectively 411 on the two ends of the slider 41. The base body 11 and the cover plate 5 are respectively provided with inwardly recessed fixing grooves 17 at positions corresponding to the respective ends of the two elastic members 43 away from the slider 41, and the respective ends of the two elastic members 43 away from the slider 41 are respectively fixed to the corresponding fixing grooves 17. That is, the base body 11 is provided with two fixing grooves 17, and the cover plate 5 is provided with two fixing grooves 17. In this way, the elastic member 43 can be better fixed, and a guiding function can be provided for an operating path of the elastic member 43, which facilitates control over a posture of the elastic member 43, so as to improve operational efficiency of the elastic member 43.

A side of the slider 41 adjacent to the cover plate 5 abuts against the cover plate 5 and is provided with an inwardly recessed through groove 412. The through groove 412 extends along the sliding direction of the slider 41, is located in a middle region on a side surface of the slider 41, and at the same time, extends from one end of the slider 41 to the other end. In this way, a contact area between the slider 41 and the cover plate 5 can be effectively reduced to improve sliding efficiency of the slider 41.

A side of the slider 41 away from the cover plate 5 is provided with a protruding portion 413 abutting against a bottom of the sliding groove 15. The protruding portion 413 extends along the sliding direction of the slider 41, is located in the middle region on the side surface of the slider 41, and at the same time, extends from one end of the slider 41 to the other end. In this way, a contact area between the slider 41 and the sliding groove 15 can be effectively reduced to improve sliding efficiency of the slider 41.

In addition, the base body 11 includes a bottom plate 111, a peripheral wall 112 protruding from an outer peripheral edge of a side of the bottom plate 111 away from the turntable 3 in a direction away from the turntable 3 and in a ring shape, and a top plate 113 covering a side of the peripheral wall 112 away from the bottom plate 111. The through hole 12 passes through the bottom plate 111 and the top plate 113 in sequence. The first bearing 2 is arranged in the through hole 12 in the bottom plate 111. The limiting assembly 4 is arranged on a side of the bottom plate 111 away from the top plate 113. The extension portion 312 on the turntable body 31 passes through the through hole 12 in the bottom plate 111 to extend to the through hole 12 in the top plate 113.

The flexible limiting mechanism 100 further includes a through hole 12 mounted in the top plate 113, a second bearing 6 forming a fixing connection with the top plate 113, a motor 7 fixed to the side of the bottom plate 111 away from the turntable 3, a first gear 8 fixed to an output end of the motor 7, and a second gear 9 sleeving and fixed to the extension portion 312 and meshed with the first gear 8. An end of the extension portion 312 away from the turntable 3 is inserted into the second bearing 6 and forms a fixing connection therewith. The extension portion 312 realizes a rotational connection with the top plate 113 through the second bearing 6.

The flexible limiting mechanism 100 in this embodiment may be applied to mechanical structures that require rotation limiting, such as a robot turntable 3 and a rotating portion of a desktop fan.

In this embodiment, a principle of the flexible limiting mechanism 100 is as follows. When the turntable 3 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise until the shifting lever 32 on the turntable 3 contacts the limiting portion 42, since the limiting portion 42 is connected to the slider 41 and two ends of the slider 41 are provided with springs respectively, the shifting lever 32 may drive the limiting portion 42 and the slider 41 to move together until the limiting portion 42 abuts against the limiting surface 13 on the corresponding side, so that the limiting portion 42 cannot move and the corresponding shifting lever 32 cannot move either, thereby realizing limiting of rotation of the turntable 3 to 180°. When the turntable 3 is required to be reset, the shifting lever 32 may be disengaged from the limiting portion 42 and returns to the initial position, and the limiting portion 42 may rebound to the initial position under elastic forces of the springs at the two ends of the slider 41 to prepare for next limiting. Since the spring can control the posture of the slider 41 in a vibrating environment, the arrangement of the spring can prevent shaking of the slider 41 in the case of rebounding, so as to reduce collision wear caused by the rebound thereof and reduce generation of noise.

Referring to FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, FIG. 6 is a schematic plan view when the turntable 3 in the flexible limiting mechanism 100 according to an embodiment is at the initial position, FIG. 7 is a schematic plan view when the turntable 3 in the flexible limiting mechanism 100 according to this embodiment rotates forward to 180° and is limited, and FIG. 8 is a schematic plan view when the turntable 3 in the flexible limiting mechanism 100 according to an embodiment rotates reversely to 180° and is limited. A specific limiting principle is as follows.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the turntable 3 is at the initial position, the shifting lever 32 of the turntable 3 is at a position A, and the limiting portion is at a position B under the interaction of the springs at the two ends of the slider 41.

As shown in FIG. 7, during 180° forward rotation (clockwise rotation) of the turntable 3, the limiting portion 42 is pushed by the shifting lever 32 to move from the position B to a position B1 and is prevented from moving right by the limiting surface 13 on the base body 11, the locking of the limiting portion 42 limits rotation of the shifting lever 32, that is, limits forward rotation of the turntable 3, so that the shifting lever 32 on the turntable 3 is at a position A1, thereby realizing limiting of 180° forward rotation of the turntable 3. During resetting of the turntable 3, that is, 180° reverse rotation, the shifting lever 32 is disengaged from the limiting portion 42, and the limiting portion 42 returns to the position B from the position B1 under the action of the springs at two ends thereof. In this process, the slider 41 may drive the limiting to return to the initial position.

As shown in FIG. 8, during 180° reverse rotation (counterclockwise rotation) of the turntable 3, the limiting portion 42 is pushed by the shifting lever 32 to move from the position B to a position B2 and is prevented from moving left by the limiting surface 13 on the base body 11, the locking of the limiting portion 42 limits rotation of the shifting lever 32, that is, limits reverse rotation of the turntable 3, so that the shifting lever 32 on the turntable 3 is at the position A1, thereby realizing limiting of 180° reverse rotation of the turntable 3. During resetting of the turntable 3, that is, 180° forward rotation, the shifting lever 32 is disengaged from the limiting portion 42, and the limiting portion 42 returns to the position B from the position B1 under the action of the springs at two ends thereof. In this process, the slider 41 may drive the limiting to return to the initial position.

Compared with the related art, in the flexible limiting mechanism 100 of this embodiment, the shifting lever 32 is arranged on the periphery of the turntable 3, the base body 11 is provided with the limiting assembly 4 formed by the slider 41 slidably arranged on the base body 11, the limiting portion 42 formed by protruding from the side of the slider 41 adjacent to the turntable 3, and the two elastic members 43 arranged along the sliding direction of the slider 41 and respectively fixed to the two ends of the slider 41, the respective ends of the two elastic members 43 away from the slider 41 in the limiting assembly 4 are respectively fixedly connected to the base body 11, and the two opposite sides of the base body 11 corresponding to the limiting portion 42 along the circumferential direction thereof are respectively provided with two limiting surfaces 13 evenly spaced from the limiting portion 42. In this way, when the turntable 3 rotates to nearly 180° and the shifting lever 32 thereof presses against the limiting portion 42 and drives the limiting portion 42 to move, limiting can be realized by the limit portion 42 abutting against the limiting surface 13 on the corresponding side. That is, limiting of the turntable 3 at 180° is realized. In the case of resetting, the shifting lever 32 is disengaged from the limiting portion 42, the limiting portion 42 may rebound under elastic forces of the elastic members 43 on the two ends of the slider 41 to realize resetting, and the slider 41 may not move back and forth on the base body 11, so as to reduce generation of noise and have good stability. In addition, the flexible limiting mechanism 100 of the present disclosure adopts mechanical limiting, which not only has few actions and a simple structure, but also occupies a small space and has high reliability.

The above description is only embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be pointed out herein that, for those of ordinary skill in the art, improvements can also be made without departing from the creative concept of the present disclosure, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
