When the rotatable cover 40 is pressed downwards, the rotatable cover 40 can be connected to the rope reel 20 and the rotation-stopping tray 30. By rotating the rotatable cover 40, the rope reel 20 is driven to rotate, and the rope reel 20 is connected with a rope that needs to be tightened, and by rotating the rope reel 20 to tighten the rope, a tightening function is achieved. To prevent loosening, the rotatable cover 40 is activated by the rotation-stopping tray 30 to make the rotatable cover 40 drive the rope reel 20 to only rotate unidirectionally in a reeling direction during a reeling process. When loosening the rope, pulling upwards the rotatable cover 40 can separate the rotatable cover 40 from the rotation-stopping tray 30; the rotation-stopping tray 30 releases a unidirectional limit to the rotatable cover 40, and both the rotatable cover 40 and the rope reel 20 can rotate in reserve to loosen the rope; by adopting such a structure, it is possible to quickly tie ropes, such as tying shoelaces etc. To achieve a unidirectional rotation function of the rotatable cover 40, a second rotation-stopping portion 420 is set inside the rotatable cover 40, and the rotation-stopping tray 30 mainly comprises a tray body 305 and a first rotation-stopping portion 310. For a convenience of structural description, the present rope adjustor is generally set to a circular shape, and the tray body 305 is also generally in a cylindrical structure; an up-to-down direction is an axial direction of the tray body 305, and a direction facing an axis of the tray body 305 is inward, and a direction deviating from the axis of the tray body 305 is outward. A through cavity 320 is provided in the tray body 305, and the rope reel 20 can be rotatably arranged in the through cavity 320. The rope reel 20 can be limited inside the through cavity 320 through the rotation-stopping tray 30. A rope-fixing perforation is provided on the rope reel 20, and the rope threads through a perforation on an outer wall of the tray body 305 and enters the through cavity 320, and is connected to the rope-fixing perforation on the rope reel 20, so as to achieve a tightening function when the rope reel 20 rotates in the rotation-stopping tray 30 in a unidirectional direction. One end of the first rotation-stopping portion 310 is connected to an inner wall of the through cavity 320, and another end of the first rotation-stopping portion 310 is movable located in the through cavity 320. The another end of the first rotation-stopping portion 310 is used to cooperate and connect with the second rotation-stopping portion 420, to make the rotatable cover 40 drive the rope reel 20 to rotate in a unidirectional direction. Thus, a part of the first rotation-stopping portion 310 can be located below an upper surface of the tray body 305, and another part of first rotation-stopping portion 310 can protrude from the upper surface of the tray body 305 and can connect with the second rotation-stopping portion 420 to prevent the second rotation-stopping portion 420 from reversely rotating.


When the rotatable cover 40 is in a connecting state with the rotation-stopping tray 30, and also in a connecting state with the rope reel 20, the first rotation-stopping portion 310 is in a connecting state with the second rotation-stopping portion 420 to prevent the second rotation-stopping portion 420 from reversely rotating, so that the rotatable cover 40 can only rotate in a forward direction and drive the rope reel 20 to rotate in a forward direction, so as to achieve a reeling function. When the rotatable cover 40 is not in the connecting state with the rotation-stopping tray 30, the first rotation-stopping portion 310 separates from the second rotation-stopping portion 420 and does not limit the second rotation-stopping portion 420, thus achieving a reverse rotation to loosen the rope. By setting the first rotation-stopping portion 310 in the through cavity 320, a part of the snap-fitting position 110 in an up-to-down direction can be located below the upper surface of the tray body 305, while another part protrudes from the upper surface of the tray body 305; compared to the prior art, under a condition that the first rotation-stopping portion 310 has a same structural strength, the present technical solution moves the whole first rotation-stopping portion 310 downwards, so as to reduce a thickness of the rotation-stopping tray 30 in the up-to-down direction, achieving a better application to products such as shoes etc., and avoiding surfaces of the product being too abrupt, making a use of the present rope adjustor more convenient, and improving an utility of the present rope adjustor. In addition, setting the first rotation-stopping portion 310 directly on an inner wall, avoids a need for arranging an additional outer wall on the tray body 305 for supporting in the prior art, so as to save materials, and at least save excess materials of structures with outer walls and reduce production costs during an injection molding process. In addition, during an injection molding process the rotation-stopping tray 30 is produced through injection molding with mold, which can easily achieve an up-to-down threading mode, and can improve a production capacity using single mold from an original maximum of 1:8 (8 products produced in one injection) to 1:32 (32 products produced in one injection), or even higher, thereby reducing injection costs.


As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the first rotation-stopping portion 310 provided in the present embodiment comprises a connecting plate 313, a rotation-stopping arm 311, and a first rotation-stopping tooth 312. The first rotation-stopping portion 310 is integrally formed with the tray body 305, so that the connecting plate 313 is fixedly connected to an inner wall of the through cavity 320 and extends a predetermined distance towards an inner side. One end of the rotation-stopping arm 311 is connected on the connecting plate 313 and has a space with the inner wall of the through cavity 320; the connecting plate 313 extends the small predetermined distance towards the inner side, so as to make a small distance between the rotation-stopping arm 311 and the inner wall of the through cavity 320. A shape of the rotation-stopping arm 311 may be an arc, and a radian of the arc matches a shape of the inner wall of the through cavity 320. The first rotation-stopping tooth 312 is connected to another end of the rotation-stopping arm 311 and is movably arranged in the through cavity 320, by suspending the another end of the rotation-stopping arm 311, the first rotation-stopping tooth 312 can move. As shown in FIGS. 5, 7, 8, and 9, the first rotation-stopping tooth 312 abuts against the second rotation-stopping portion 420 to make the rotatable cover 40 to drive the rope reel 20 to rotate in a unidirectional direction. In on embodiment, to improve a stability of limiting, two or one or more than two first rotation-stopping tooth 312 may be set. When the rotatable cover 40 rotates in a forward direction, the rotatable cover 40 drives the second rotation-stopping portion 420 to rotate in a forward direction; the second rotation-stopping portion 420 can press the first rotation-stopping tooth 312 along an inclined-surface contour 315 of the first rotation-stopping tooth 312, making the rotation-stopping arm 311 deform for setting aside a space, so that the second rotation-stopping portion 420 can pass through the first rotation-stopping tooth 312 in a forward direction to achieve a forward rotation. When the rotatable cover 40 shows a tendency to reverse under a tightening force of the rope, due to an abutment of a straight-surface contour 314 of the first rotation-stopping tooth 312, the second rotation-stopping portion 420 cannot slide and is limited, thus the second rotation-stopping portion 420 cannot rotate reversely. The space between the inner wall of the through cavity 320 and the one end of the rotation-stopping arm 311 can provide a activity space for the rotation-stopping arm 311 to move, and a structure of the space and the through cavity 320 is straightforward which facilitates molding during a molding process. It is easy to imagine that the first rotation-stopping portion 310 may also be a pawl structure, and the second rotation-stopping portion 420 may be a ratchet wheel structure, a unidirectional rotation of the rotatable cover 40 can also be achieved by utilizing a unidirectional moveability of the pawl structure and the ratchet wheel structure.


As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, a keep-space groove 370 is provided on an inner wall of the through cavity 320 in the present embodiment, and the first rotation-stopping tooth 312 is movable located in the keep-space groove 370. The keep-space groove 370 extends to a predetermined depth towards outside, thereby providing a space set aside for the first rotation-stopping tooth 312 to make the first rotation-stopping tooth 312 have a moveable space during a limiting process.


As shown in FIGS. 5, 6, and 8, a lower surface of the rotation-stopping arm 311 in the present embodiment abuts against an upper surface of the rope reel 20. By supporting a lower part of the rotation-stopping arm 311 through the rope reel 20, and when the first rotation-stopping portion 310 limits the second rotation-stopping portion 420, and under a situation that a tightening force of the rope reel 20 is relatively high, a pressing force of the second rotation-stopping portion 420 on the first rotation-stopping portion 310 also increases. During a pressing process on the first rotation-stopping portion 310, the rotation-stopping arm 311 is easy to deform; at this time an upper surface of the rope reel 20 abuts against the rotation-stopping arm 311 to avoid a downward deformation of the rotation-stopping arm 311 make the rotation-stopping arm 311 set aside a space, if the rotation-stopping arm 311 setting aside the space occurs, the second rotation-stopping portion 420 separates from the first rotation-stopping tooth 312, resulting in a failure of a unidirectional rotation function. The upper surface of the rope reel 20 stably supports the rotation-stopping arm 311, avoiding the failure of the unidirectional rotation function and improving a structural stability.


An upper surface of the rotation-stopping arm 311 protrudes from an upper surface of the tray body 305 in the present embodiment, and a protrusion height thereof may be 2.5 mm. A thickness of the whole rotation-stopping arm 311 may range from 2.5 to 2.8 mm Limiting the protrusion height below 2.5 mm, such as 2.25 mm, can ensure a structural stability while reducing the thickness as much as possible. If a thickness of the rotation-stopping arm 311 in the prior art is 2.5 mm, it needs to be raised by 1 mm on the upper surface of the tray body 305, and an additional bearing baffle needs to be mounted on the tray body 305 with a height of 4 mm. Compared with the prior art that the additional bearing baffle needs to be set on the tray body 305 with the height of 4 mm, the protrusion height from the upper surface of the tray body 305 in the present technical solution is up to 2.5 mm (or even only 2.25 mm), greatly reducing a thickness of the whole device. It should be noted that the present structure meets different size requirements for different needs, and the above-mentioned size is only used as a specific application of a specification.


As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, in the present embodiment there are three first rotation-stopping portions 310, the three first rotation-stopping portions 310 are arranged in a circular array around a central axis of the through cavity 320. The three first rotation-stopping portions 310 are uniformly distributed in a circumferential direction, and the three first rotation-stopping portions 310 simultaneously act on the rotatable cover 40, thereby increasing limit points, and three limit points are uniformly distributed, thereby improving a stability of the first rotation-stopping portion 310 for unidirectional limiting. It is easy to imagine that the first rotation-stopping portion 310 may also be set to 1, 2, or more than 3, and can also achieve a function of a unidirectional rotation and a limit.


As shown in FIGS. 5, 7, and 9, the second rotation-stopping portion 420 in the present embodiment comprises a first gear ring 422, the first gear ring 422 is arranged around the rotatable cover 40. The first gear ring 422 has a second rotation-stopping tooth 421, the second rotation-stopping tooth 421 matches with the first rotation-stopping tooth 312. The first gear ring 422, the second rotation-stopping tooth 421, and the rotatable cover 40 are integrally formed. The second rotation-stopping tooth 421 is arranged on an inner side of the first gear ring 422. When the rotatable cover 40 is in a connecting state with the rotation-stopping tray 30, the first rotation-stopping tooth 312 of the first rotation-stopping portion 310 is located on the inner side of the first gear ring 422 to make the second rotation-stopping tooth 421 engage with the first rotation-stopping tooth 312.


To facilitate production of the rotatable cover 40, the first gear ring 422 is arranged in a non-complete gear ring setting. As shown in FIG. 7, the first gear ring 422 is divided into a plurality of arc segments, and the plurality of arc segments are set with intervals, there are spaces between the plurality of arc segments and spaces between the arc segments and the inner wall of the rotatable cover 40. A plurality of independent gear platforms are set in the space between the plurality of arc segments, and one end of the independent gear platform facing inward is a unidirectional gear, and one end of the independent gear platform facing outward is connected to the inner wall of the rotatable cover 40. Through a cooperation between a unidirectional tooth of the arc segment and the unidirectional tooth of the independent gear platform, one complete first gear ring 422 is formed, which facilitates mold design and production, otherwise it is difficult for the mold to form the rotatable cover 40.


As shown in FIGS. 5, 7, and 9, the rotatable cover 40 in the present embodiment is further arranged with a second linkage portion 410, the second linkage portion 410 is located on an inner side of the first gear ring 422, the second linkage portion 410 is arranged with a second linkage tooth 411, the second linkage tooth 411 is used for connecting with the rope reel 20. The second linkage tooth 411 is located on a lower surface of the second linkage portion 410, when the rotatable cover 40 is in a connecting state with the rope reel 20, the second linkage tooth 411 is connected to the first linkage tooth 211 on the rope reel 20, thereby driving the rope reel 20 to rotate through a drive from the rotatable cover 40. The second linkage tooth 411 has a vertical surface 4112 set along an up-to-down direction, and an inclined surface 4111 at a predetermined angle the up-to-down direction. In this way, during connecting, the vertical surface 4112 on the first linkage tooth 211 abuts against the vertical surface 4112 on the second linkage tooth 411. When rotating the rotatable cover 40, the second linkage tooth 411 is not easily separated from the first linkage tooth 211, ensuring a stability of the rotatable cover 40 in driving the rope reel 20.


As shown in FIGS. 5, 7, and 9, an inner wall of the rotatable cover 40 in the present embodiment is arranged with a limit bump 440, the limit bump 440 extends a distance towards inner side. A snap-fitting slot 380 is arranged on an outer wall of the tray body 305, the snap-fitting slot 380 extends a preset distance towards inner side. The limit bump 440 is connected in the snap-fitting slot 380 and can move with an up-to-down direction in the snap-fitting slot 380 to make the rotatable cover 40 be connected or separated from the rope reel 20, ensuring that when the rotatable cover 40 moves, the rotatable cover 40 will not be completely separated from the rotation-stopping tray 30; and when the rotatable cover 40 moves downwards, the rotatable cover 40 can connect with the rotation-stopping tray 30 and the rope reel 20; after the rotatable cover 40 is pulled upwards, the rotatable cover 40 is separated from the rotation-stopping tray 30 and the rope reel 20.


Embodiment 3

As shown in FIGS. 2, 10, 11, and 14, an accommodating cavity 160 is set on the base 10 for connecting to the rotation-stopping tray 30 in a fitting snap. A through cavity 320 is arranged in the rotation-stopping tray 30 for mounting the rope reel 20. When the rotatable cover 40 is pressed down, the rotatable cover 40 can connect with the rope reel 20 and the rotation-stopping tray 30. The rotatable cover 40 rotates to drive the rope reel 20 to rotate, and the rope reel 20 is connected with a rope that needs to be tightened, and the rope is tightened by a rotation of the rope reel 20, thereby achieving a tightening function. To prevent loosening, the rotatable cover 40 is activated by the rotation-stopping tray 30, so that the rotatable cover 40 drives the rope reel 20 to only rotate unidirectionally in a reeling direction during a reeling process. When loosening the rope, the rotatable cover 40 is pulling upwards to separate the rotatable cover 40 from the rotation-stopping tray 30. The rotation-stopping tray 30 releases a unidirectional limit on the rotatable cover 40, and both the rotatable cover and the rope reel 20 can rotate in reverse to loosen the rope.


As shown in FIGS. 11, 12, and 13, for a convenience of a structural description, a structure of the rope adjustor is set to be cylindrical, and an up-to-down direction is an axial direction of the rope adjustor, a direction towards the axis is inward, and a direction deviated from the axis is outward. In the present embodiment, the base 10 comprises a base tray 105. The base tray 105 is in a sheet shape, and is circular in some embodiments, facilitating connecting the base tray 105 to a fabric product. An arc-shaped baffle 170 and a blocking bump 180 set with intervals with the arc-shaped baffle 170 are arranged on the base tray 105. The arc-shaped baffle 170 and the blocking bump 180 form the above-mentioned accommodating cavity 160, and a limit notch 171 is formed between the blocking bump 180 and the arc-shaped baffle 170. In the present embodiment, two limit notches 171 can be set, which are the first limit notch 120 and the second limit notch 130 respectively, the limit notch 171 is used to snap and fit a threading portion on an outer wall of the rotation-stopping tray 30, wherein a connecting boss 190 is arranged in the limit notch 171. Two ends of the connecting boss 190 are respectively connected to the arc-shaped baffle 170 and the blocking bump 180. An upper boss 191 is arranged on the connecting boss 190, and two ends of the upper boss 191 are also connected to the arc-shaped baffle 170 and the blocking bump 180 respectively; a width dimension of the upper boss 191 is smaller than a width dimension of the connecting boss 190, thereby forming a limit step 192 between the upper boss 191 and the connecting boss 190. The rotation-stopping tray 30 comprises a tray body 305, and a plurality of threading portions arranged on the outer wall of the tray body 305, such as the first threading portion 330 and the second threading portion 340. Taking the first threading portion 330 as an example, when the rotation-stopping tray is connected to the base tray 105, the first threading portion 330 is arranged inside the limit notch 171 and on the connecting boss 190. One side of the first threading portion 330 facing the connecting boss 190 is provided with a first keep-space groove 331, and the first keep-space groove 331 is sleeved on the upper boss 191. By cooperating the first threading portion 330 with the upper boss 191 through the first keep-space groove 331, the rotation-stopping tray 30 can be lowered for connecting, thereby reducing a height of the rotation-stopping tray 30 and reducing a thickness of the whole present tying device.


In the present embodiment, setting an arc-shaped baffle 170 on the base tray 105 and enclosing the arc-shaped baffle 170 and the blocking bump 180 to form an accommodating cavity 160, the accommodating cavity 160 is used for mounting the rotation-stopping tray 30 and forming a limit notch 171 between the arc-shaped baffle 170 and the blocking bump 180. The limit notch 171 can be snapped and fitted into the plurality of threading portions of the rotation-stopping tray 30 (such as the first threading portion 330 or the second threading portion 340), thereby limiting the rotation-stopping tray 30 to make a connection between the rotation-stopping tray 30 and the base tray 105 more stable. By setting a connecting boss 190 and an upper boss 191 inside the limit notch 171, the blocking bump 180 on two sides of the limit notch 171 is connected to the arc-shaped baffle 170 through two ends of the connecting boss 190 and the upper boss 191, thereby increasing a thickness of the base tray 105 at a position of the limit notch 171, thus strengthening a structure of the base tray 105 at the position of the limit notch 171. An effect of the connecting boss 190 and the upper boss 191 are equivalent to a connecting effect of reinforcing ribs, making the blocking bump 180 and the arc-shaped baffle 170 on two sides not easily deformed under force; in a high-temperature setting process and a low-temperature setting process of production process of products, the base tray 105 is not easily deformed under force due to the connecting effect of the reinforcing ribs. Moreover, a connecting boss 190 has a preset height that can block fabric, making it difficult for the fabric to enter the limit notch 171 and affecting subsequent assembly. Moreover, by cooperating the first threading portion 331 with the upper boss 191, a height of the rotation-stopping tray 30 can be reduced, and a thickness of the whole present tying device can be reduced; mounting a thinner tying device on wearable item, such as shoes, is more practical and convenient.


As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, further, a reinforcing lug 193 is arranged on the upper surface of the connecting boss 190, the reinforcing lug 193 is connected to the upper boss 191. The connecting boss 190 is in an arc shape; by setting the reinforcing lug 193, a connection between the connecting boss 190 and the upper boss 191 is more stable, thereby further firming a connection between the blocking bump 180 on two sides and the arc-shaped baffle 170. Since the blocking bump 180 and the arc-shaped baffle 170 do not move relative to each other, the whole base tray 105 will be constrained and not easily deformed. The reinforcing lug 193 is in an arched shape or a semicircular shape, which can have a bigger contact surface between the reinforcing lug 193 to the connecting boss 190, making a more stable structure.


If an thickness of assembly needs to be reduced, a height of the upper boss 191 needs to be higher, which can make the rotation-stopping tray 30 lowered downwards more; however, the upper boss 191 and the connecting boss 190 are a part of a reinforced structure, and if the height of the upper boss 191 is higher, a thickness of the connecting boss 190 is smaller, thereby a connection strength cannot be guaranteed. Therefore lowering a connection structure downwards 0.6-1 mm to form the upper boss 191, which can ensure a structural strength under a situation that reducing a thickness of the present device is ensured. In one embodiment, the height of the upper boss 191 is 0.65 mm. It is easy to imagine that other heights of the upper boss 191 can also be adopted, such as those larger than 1 mm There are different heights of the upper boss 191 for different shoes, which can meet requirements of being higher than the prior fabric.


Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the base tray 105, the blocking bump 180, the arc-shaped baffle 170, the connecting boss 190, the upper boss 191, and the reinforcing lug 193 are integrally formed. Thus, a whole structure of the base tray 105 is formed through injection molding, with fast molding speed, mature technology, and reduced production costs.


As shown in FIGS. 11, 12, and 13, further, in the present embodiment, in order to achieve a connection between the rotation-stopping tray 30 and the base tray 105, a snap-fitting piece 350 on a circumference of an outer wall of the tray body 305 of the rotation-stopping tray 30 is set as a snap-fitting platform, and another snap-fitting piece 350 on the circumference of the outer wall of the tray body 305 is set as a snap-fitting hook portion 351. The snap-fitting platform and the snap-fitting hook portion 351 may be set oppositely. A snap-fitting groove 181 is arranged on an inner wall of one side of the blocking bump 180 facing the accommodating cavity 160, and a snap-fitting position 110 is arranged on an inner wall of one side of the arc-shaped baffle 170 facing the accommodating cavity 160, and the snap-fitting position 110 and the snap-fitting groove 181 are set oppositely. When mounting the rotation-stopping tray 30 with the base tray 105, first inserting the snap-fitting platform into the snap-fitting position 110 to achieve a limit for one side, then pressing the rotation-stopping tray 30 so that the snap-fitting hook portion 351 deforms and sets aside a space for not limiting, and then the snap-fitting hook portion 351 enters an inner side of the accommodating cavity 160, and then the snap-fitting hook portion 351 is snapped and fitted into the snap-fitting groove 181 to achieve a fixation. Thus, the tray body 305 is embedded in the accommodating cavity 160, and the snap-fitting hook portion 351 is snapped and fitted in the snap-fitting groove 181. By adopting a cooperation of the snap-fitting hook portion 351 and the snap-fitting groove 181, assembly can be achieved by simply pressing, achieving a rapid assembly of the rotation-stopping tray 30 and the base tray 105, and improving assembly efficiency.


As shown in FIGS. 11, 12, and 13, further, the snap-fitting hook portion 351 in the present embodiment comprises a snap-fitting hook 352, the snap-fitting hook 352 protrudes outward. A slot 306 is arranged between the tray body 305 and two sides of the snap-fitting hook 352. By setting the slot 306, two circumferential sides of the snap-fitting hook 352 are not connected to the tray body 305, so that the snap-fitting hook portion 351 has greater elasticity without a limit from an outer wall of the tray body 305, preventing the snap-fitting hook portion 351 from getting too tight and making assembly more convenient.


As shown in FIGS. 11, 12, and 13, further, an inner wall of the snap-fitting hook portion 351 in the present embodiment is provided with a second keep-space groove 353 (as shown in FIG. 13). The second keep-space groove 353 is located on one side facing the accommodating cavity 160. It is necessary to mount the rope reel 20 inside the rotation-stopping tray 30, and if the second keep-space groove 353 is not set, when the snap-fitting hook portion 351 needs to move inward during a process that the snap-fitting hook portion 351 is being pressed, there is no space for the snap-fitting hook portion 351 to move due to a block from the rope reel 20, making it difficult for the snap-fitting hook portion 351 to be assembled. Therefore, through the second keep-space groove 353, a thickness of the snap-fitting hook portion 35 can be reduced so as to have a greater elasticity. And if the snap-fitting hook portion 351 is too long, the nap-fitting second keep-space groove 353 can prevent a deformation of the snap-fitting hook portion 351 caused by the snap-fitting hook portion 351 and the rope reel 20 sticking together during assembly, thereby reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency.


As shown in FIG. 12, further, in the present embodiment, a guide groove 182 is provided at an inner edge of an upper surface of the blocking bump 180. The guide groove 182 has an inclined surface extending from top to bottom and facing inward, and the snap-fitting hook portion 351 moves into the snap-fitting groove 181 through a guidance of the inclined surface. During an assembly of the rotation-stopping tray 30 and the base tray 105, the snap-fitting hook portion 351 first contacts the guide groove 182, and then presses the snap-fitting hook portion 351 through a guidance of the guide groove 182 to make the snap-fitting hook portion 351 move towards inner and lower sides, so as to guide the snap-fitting hook portion 351 into the accommodating cavity 160, and then the snap-fitting hook portion 351 continues to press downwards to be snapped and fitted into the snap-fitting groove 181, improving assembly accuracy and efficiency.
