The rear roller group 202 includes a plurality of rear rollers 22. The plurality of rear rollers 22 are disposed at the bottom of the skate body 10 through a reversing mechanism. The reversing mechanism may control the plurality of rear rollers 22 to be arranged in a line or in a row, and no matter whether the plurality of rear rollers 22 are arranged in the line or in the row, a traveling direction of the plurality of rear rollers 22 always faces the front and rear direction of the skate body. It is understandable that the traveling direction here refers to a running direction of the rollers in the skating process of the roller skate.
The reversing mechanism includes a reversing base 30, a reversing transmission mechanism 40, and a reversing adjustment switch 50.
The reversing base 30 is configured to rotatably dispose the rear roller group 202 at the bottom of the skate body 10. Specifically, the reversing base 30 includes a rotating bracket 31 and a rotating cover plate 32. The rotating bracket 31 is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the skate body 10 through the rotating cover plate 32.

The middle of the rotating cover plate 32 is provided with a rotating avoiding hole 321. A first rotating limiting boss 311 matched with the inner contour of the rotating avoiding hole 321 is disposed at a position, corresponding to the rotating avoiding hole 321, of a side, facing the rotating cover plate 32, of the rotating bracket 31. The rotating bracket 31 and the rotating cover plate 32 abut against each other through the first rotating limiting boss 311 and the rotating avoiding hole 321 to further limit the space of rotary motion of the rotating bracket 31. The outer side of the rotating cover plate 32 is provided with cover plate fixing holes 322, and the rotating cover plate 32 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the skate body 10 through screws matched with the cover plate fixing holes.
In this embodiment, the rear roller group 202 is preferably provided with two rear rollers 22. The rotating bracket 31 is provided with two transmission holes 312 correspondingly, and the two transmission holes 312 are located on the same diameter line of the rotating bracket 31 and are radially symmetrical. The two rear rollers 22 are respectively rotatably installed at the transmission hole 312 through corresponding rear roller brackets 220. The two rear rollers 22 may be jointly rotated by plus or minus 90 degrees around an axis of the rotating bracket 31 under the driving of the rotating bracket 31 so that an arrangement manner of the two rear rollers 22 may be switched between the line and the row. The two rear rollers 22 may be rotated by plus or minus 180 degrees around axes of the transmission holes 312 in the transmission holes 312 respectively so that the traveling direction of the two rear rollers 22 after reversing always faces the front and rear direction of the skate body.
The reversing transmission mechanism 40 is in transmission connection with each rear roller 22 and the rotating bracket 31, and is configured to drive each rear roller 22 and the rotating bracket 31 to rotate so that the plurality of rear rollers 22 are arranged in the line or in the row. The reversing transmission mechanism 40 includes an inner tooth groove 41 and guide gears 42. The inner tooth groove 41 is disposed in the bottom of the skate body 10, the inner tooth groove 41 is set in a circular shape, and a side wall thereof is an inner tooth surface. The guide gears 42 are outer gears, and are inserted in the inner tooth groove 41. Outer tooth surfaces of the guide gears 42 mesh with the inner tooth surface of the inner tooth groove 41. In this embodiment, there are two guide gears 42, and the two guide gears 42 are fixedly connected with the two rear rollers 22 one by one.
Specifically, the bottom of the skate body 10 is provided with the concave inner tooth groove 41 inside the rotating cavity 101, and the inner tooth groove 41 is disposed coaxial with the rotating cavity 101. The rear roller brackets 220 abut against a first side of the rotating bracket 31, the guide gears 42 abut against a second side of the rotating bracket 31, and the guide gears 42 are fixedly installed on the rear roller brackets 220. The rear roller brackets 220 have installing protruding columns 221 matched with the transmission holes 312 in inner diameter and depth. Upper top surfaces of the installing protruding columns 221 extend upwards to form positioning lugs 222, positioning grooves 421 are disposed in positions, corresponding to the positioning lugs 222, of lower bottom surfaces of the guide gears 42, and the positioning lugs 222 are in matched butt joint with the positioning grooves 421. Installing holes are disposed in corresponding positions of middles of the guide gears 42 and middles of the rear roller brackets 220, and the guide gears 42 and the rear roller brackets 220 are fixedly connected through male and female screws. The positioning lugs 222 are embedded in the positioning grooves 421 to form a connection manner similar to a tenon-and-mortise structure so that the guide gears 42 and the rear roller brackets 220 cannot move or rotate relative to each other after being fixedly connected.
Since the two rollers of the rear roller group 202 may be switched between line arrangement and row arrangement only by integrally rotating the rear roller group 202 by plus or minus 90 degrees, the inner tooth groove 41 and the guide gears 42 are provided with a rotating limiting structure in a matched mode, and the rotating limiting structure is configured to limit a rotatable angle of the rotating bracket 31 to be plus or minus 90 degrees. In this embodiment, the rotating limiting structure includes second rotating limiting bosses 61 disposed on the guide gears 42, and rotating limiting grooves 62 disposed in the inner tooth groove 41.
