In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

The embodiment of the invention provides a damping structure with a centering function, which can be applied to an operating rod and an operating knob in a remote control device and can also be applied to a chassis suspension structure of a robot and an automobile.

Referring to fig. 1, a general assembly diagram of a damping structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown, where the damping structure includes a first connecting element 10 and a second connecting element 20, and the first connecting element 10 is sleeved with the second connecting element 20 and can rotate relatively; referring further to fig. 2, a cross-sectional view of the damping structure is shown along a radial direction of the rotation axis of the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20, the damping structure further includes an elastic restoring member 30, and the elastic restoring member 30 can perform a restoring function.

Specifically, the first connecting member 10 includes a first abutting portion 11, the second connecting member 20 includes a second abutting portion 21 matched with the first abutting portion 11, and the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 are arranged opposite to each other in the axial direction of the rotating shafts of the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20.

After the damping structure is assembled, in a state that the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20 do not move relatively (as shown in fig. 2), both ends of the elastic restoring member 30 simultaneously abut against both sides of the first abutting portion 11 and both sides of the second abutting portion 21; when the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20 rotate relative to each other by an external force by a certain angle, referring to fig. 3, on a radial cross-sectional view of the rotating shaft of the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20, on a first side of the illustration, the abutting force between one end of the elastic restoring member 30 and the first abutting portion 11 gradually increases, and the abutting force between the first side of the second abutting portion 21 gradually decreases until zero (if the abutting force exists in the initial state), on a second side of the illustration, the abutting force between the other end of the elastic restoring member 30 and the first abutting portion 11 gradually decreases until zero (if the abutting force exists in the initial state), and the abutting force between the other end of the elastic restoring member 30 and the second abutting portion 21 gradually increases, and the abutting force between the first side of the first abutting portion 11 and the second side of the second abutting portion 21 against the elastic restoring member 30 will elastically deform the elastic restoring member 30, thereby generating a restoring force for restoring the first connecting part 10 and the second connecting part 20, and when the external force is removed, the first connecting part 10 and the second connecting part 20 are restored by the restoring force of the elastic restoring part 30.

Further, a damping material is disposed at the nesting surface of the first connecting piece 10 and the second connecting piece 20, and the damping material can generate rotational damping when the first connecting piece 10 and the second connecting piece 20 rotate relatively, so that the oscillation of the first connecting piece 10 and the second connecting piece 20 in the process of resetting is reduced, and the resetting is stable. In this embodiment, the damping material may be damping grease or flexible damping rubber; when damping grease is adopted, the whole fit clearance between the first connecting piece 10 and the second connecting piece 20 can be filled with the damping grease, and the damping between the first connecting piece 10 and the second connecting piece 20 can be changed by setting the damping grease with different viscosities; when flexible damping rubber is adopted, the adjustment of the damping size can be realized by setting the setting amount of the damping rubber or the fitting degree of the damping rubber and the first connecting piece 10 and the second connecting piece 20, for example, a rubber damping block is arranged in the fit clearance between the first connecting piece 10 and the second connecting piece 20, the rubber damping block can be fixed on the side wall of the first connecting piece 10 and/or the second connecting piece 20, and the damping with different sizes can be generated by setting different numbers of rubber damping blocks.

In some possible designs, a damping material may also be provided between the first and second abutments 11 and 21.

Specifically, the first connecting member 10 includes a first sleeve 12, the second connecting member 20 includes a second sleeve 22 sleeved with the first sleeve 12, and the damping material is disposed in a fit gap between the first sleeve 12 and the second sleeve 22.

In an implementation scheme, the first sleeve 12 is sleeved outside the second sleeve 22, and the elastic restoring member 30 is sleeved outside the first sleeve 12, wherein a notch 121 is formed on a side wall of the first sleeve 12, the second abutting portion 21 is supported on the first abutting portion 11 through the notch 121, and the notch 121 is used for limiting a relative movement range of the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21.

In another practical solution, the second sleeve 22 may be sleeved outside the first sleeve 12, and the elastic restoring member 30 is sleeved outside the second sleeve 22, at this time, the side wall of the first sleeve 12 does not need to be provided with the notch 121, and structures for limiting the relative movement range of the second abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 may be arranged on two sides of the first abutting portion 11 or the second abutting portion 21.

Of course, in some possible embodiments, when the first sleeve 12 is sleeved outside the second sleeve 22, the elastic restoring member 30 may also be disposed inside the second sleeve 22, and the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 are both disposed inside the second sleeve 22. Specifically, the side wall of the second sleeve 22 is provided with the notch 121, for example, the first abutting portion 11 is abutted against the second abutting portion 21 through the notch 121, for example, and the notch 121 can also limit the relative movement range of the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21. Further, another sleeve on which the elastic resetting member 30 is installed may be disposed inside the second sleeve 22, so that when the elastic resetting member 30 is sleeved on the sleeve, the abutting relationship between the elastic resetting member 30 and the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 may be the same as that in the foregoing embodiment, and meanwhile, a certain interval exists between the elastic resetting member 30 and the second sleeve 22, so as to provide a moving space when the elastic resetting member 30 is elastically deformed.

Or, when the second sleeve 22 is sleeved outside the first sleeve 12, the elastic restoring member 30 may also be disposed inside the first sleeve 12, and at this time, the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 are both disposed inside the first sleeve 12, specifically, a notch 121 is disposed at a position of the first sleeve 12 corresponding to the second abutting portion 21, the second abutting portion 21 passes through a side wall of the first sleeve 12 and abuts against the first abutting portion 11, and the notch 121 may limit a relative movement range of the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21. Further, another sleeve for installing the elastic resetting piece 30 is arranged inside the first sleeve 12, so that when the elastic resetting piece 30 is sleeved on the sleeve, the abutting relationship between the elastic resetting piece 30 and the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 can be the same as that in the foregoing embodiment, and meanwhile, a certain interval exists between the elastic resetting piece 30 and the first sleeve 12, so as to provide a moving space for the elastic resetting piece 30 to elastically deform.

It is understood that, in addition to the above description, in practical applications, the relationship between the first sleeve 12, the second sleeve 22, the first abutting portion 11, the second abutting portion 21 and the elastic resetting member 30 may be set correspondingly by adopting other relationships, as long as the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 can rotate relatively and can be reset to the position before the relative rotation, and this is not limited specifically here.

In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, at least one first groove structure 122 is formed on a side wall of the first sleeve 12, and the damping material is filled in at least one first groove structure 122; and/or the presence of a gas in the gas,

at least one second groove structure 221 is formed on the side wall of the second sleeve 22, and the damping material is filled in the at least one second groove structure 221.

Specifically, the first groove structure 122 and the second groove structure 221 are both in communication with the fitting gaps of the first sleeve 12 and the second sleeve 22, and the first groove structure 122 and the second groove structure 221 may be annular grooves disposed along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft, axial grooves disposed along the axial direction of the rotating shaft, or irregular grooves on the first sleeve 12 or the second side wall; further, the first groove structure 122 may extend through the sidewall of the first sleeve 12, and the second groove structure 221 may also extend through the sidewall of the second sleeve 22.

In an alternative, when both ends of the elastic restoring member 30 simultaneously abut against the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 (i.e. in the state shown in fig. 2), the first groove structure 122 is communicated with the second groove structure 221.

In an embodiment of the present invention, referring further to fig. 5, when the first sleeve 12 is sleeved outside the second sleeve 22, the first connecting element 10 further includes a third sleeve 13 coaxial with the first sleeve 12, and the third sleeve 13 can be used for carrying an external element, such as a rotating shaft body for facilitating the relative rotation between the first connecting element 10 and the second connecting element 20; the second sleeve 22 is located between the first sleeve 12 and the third sleeve 13, and the damping material is disposed in a fit gap between the second sleeve 22 and the third sleeve 13. Alternatively, the first sleeve 12 and the third sleeve 13 may be formed by extending outward from the body of the first connecting member 10, or may be connected by other components on the first connecting member 10.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment shown in fig. 5, both the first groove structure 122 and the second groove structure 221 are through grooves, and the fitting clearance between the first sleeve 12 and the second sleeve 22 is communicated with the fitting clearance between the second sleeve 22 and the third sleeve 13 through the second groove structure 221 on the second sleeve 22; however, in other embodiments, the first and second slot structures 122 and 221 may be blind slots, or the first and second slot structures 122 and 221 may be absent.

In other embodiments, and with further reference to FIG. 6, the second connector 20 may further include a fourth sleeve 23 coaxial with the second sleeve 22; the fourth sleeve 23 is sleeved in the third sleeve 13, and can cooperate with the third sleeve 13 to carry an external element, such as a rotation shaft body facilitating the relative rotation between the first connecting piece 10 and the second connecting piece 20; the damping material is arranged in a fit clearance between the third sleeve 13 and the fourth sleeve 23. Of course, as an alternative, a groove structure may also be provided on the sleeve sidewall between the third sleeve 13 and the fourth sleeve 23 to accommodate the damping material. Alternatively, the second sleeve 22 and the fourth sleeve 23 may be formed by extending from the body of the second connector 20, or may be connected by other components on the second connector 20.

Further, the exploded view shown in fig. 7 provides an exploded view of a damping structure, in which the rotational shaft body may be a part of the damping structure or an external device, and the sectional view of the damping structure provided in fig. 7 has a sectional view corresponding to fig. 6. In this embodiment, the damping structure further includes a pressing cover 40, and the pressing cover 40 can be fixedly connected to the first connecting member 10 and abut against the second connecting member 20, so as to enhance the fastening degree of the second connecting member 20 to the first connecting member 10. In some embodiments, a side of the second connecting member 20 facing away from the second sleeve 22 is provided with a connecting portion 24, and the connecting portion 24 is used for being connected with a second external element in a matching manner, in this embodiment, the connecting portion 24 protrudes from an end surface of the second connecting member 20 and may include two grooves, the two grooves may form a regular arc shape or a reverse arc shape, and corresponding structures on the second external element may be inserted into the grooves and fixed, such as clamped in the grooves; optionally, the second connecting member 20 includes two connecting portions 24, the two connecting portions 24 cooperate to form a fitting groove of the pressing cover 40, and after the pressing cover 40 abuts against the fitting groove, the pressing cover and the first connecting member 10 may be fixedly connected by a fastener.

The two connecting portions 24 may be symmetrically disposed, and in a direction parallel to the rotation axes of the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20, the first abutting portion 11, the second abutting portion 21, and one of the connecting portions 24 may be sequentially arranged. Meanwhile, since the pressing cover 40 is fixedly connected to the first connecting member 10, the pressing cover 40 can also rotate relative to the second connecting member 20 during the relative rotation of the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20, and thus, since the pressing cover 40 abuts against the engaging groove, the engaging groove will limit the rotation angle of the pressing cover 40 relative to the second connecting member 20. Therefore, optionally, the angular limit range of the gland 40 by the fitting groove may be larger than the angular limit range of the relative movement of the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 by the notch 121 on the first sleeve 12, so as to sufficiently guarantee the relative movement of the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21.

Further, as shown in fig. 7, the first connecting member 10 further includes a housing 14, and the first abutting portion 11, the first sleeve 12, and the third sleeve 13 of the first connecting member 10 are all located in the housing 14. The housing 14 has an opening, the second connecting member 20 can be sleeved with the first connecting member 10 by sleeving the first sleeve 12 with the second sleeve 22, and the third sleeve 13 with the fourth sleeve 23, and the second connecting member can be covered on the opening of the housing 14, so that an accommodating space can be formed between the second sleeve 22 and the housing 14. When the elastic restoring member 30 is disposed in the housing 14, the elastic restoring member 30 is located in the accommodating space, and the housing 14 may be configured to limit a radial moving range of the elastic restoring member 30 along the rotating shaft, and optionally, the housing 14 is further provided with a fixing ear 15 for connecting the housing 14 with other components, for example, for connecting with the gland 40, and the fixing ear 15 and the gland 40 may be locked by screws.

Based on the above embodiment of the present invention, the first connecting member 10 is used to connect with a first external element, and the second connecting member 20 is used to connect with a second external element, so that the first external element and the second external element can realize a smooth centering reset when relatively rotating; in an implementation scheme, the second connecting element 20 is covered at one end of the first connecting element 10, as shown in fig. 8, a through hole 16 is formed at the other end of the first connecting element 10, the through hole 16 is communicated with the third sleeve 13, so that a third external element for connecting with the first external element or the second external element is inserted from the through hole 16 to the outside of the second connecting element 20, the third external element can rotate relative to one of the first connecting element 10 and the second connecting element 20 and rotate relative to the other one to be fixed relative to the other one,

the rotating shaft may be a fixed shaft on an external device, or may be a fixed shaft disposed on the first connecting member 10 or the second connecting member 20.

Specifically, in an implementation scheme, when the rotating shaft is a fixed shaft on an external device, if the external device includes the second external element and the second external element, the rotating shaft may be fixedly connected to one of the first external element or the second external element, and may be rotatably connected to the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2. When the rotatably connected one rotates, the elastic restoring piece 30 restores to the initial position; for example, if the fixed shaft body of the external device is fixedly connected to the first external element, when the second connecting member 20 rotates under the action of the external force, i.e., when the second external element rotates relative to the first external element, the second connecting member 20 will also rotate relative to the first connecting member 10, and the elastic restoring member 30 will generate a restoring force, so that the restoring force will restore the second connecting member 20 and the second external element to the initial position after the external force disappears.

In another embodiment, when the rotating shaft is a fixed shaft on the first connecting element 10, the second connecting element 20 will be rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and if the first connecting element 10 is connected to the first external element and the second connecting element 20 is connected to the second external element, when the second connecting element 20 rotates relative to the first connecting element 10, that is, the second external element rotates relative to the first external element, the second connecting element 20 and the second external element will also be reset by the elastic reset element 30.

Alternatively, in another practical implementation scheme, when the rotating shaft is a fixed shaft on the second connecting part 20, the first connecting part 10 will be rotatably connected with the rotating shaft, and if the first connecting part 10 is connected with the first external element and the second connecting part 20 is connected with the second external element, when the first connecting part 10 rotates relative to the second connecting part 20, that is, the first external element rotates relative to the second external element, the first connecting part 10 and the first external element will be reset under the action of the elastic resetting part 30.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the relative arrangement of the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft of the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20 means that the cross sections of the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft are completely overlapped or partially overlapped in the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and in fig. 9, (a) and (b) are partial views of a damping structure, (a) shows a situation that the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 are completely overlapped, and (b) shows a situation that the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 are partially overlapped. Of course, in some possible implementations, the cross sections of the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft may also be completely free of overlap in the axial direction of the rotating shaft.

Optionally, referring to fig. 2 again, in this embodiment, the radial cross sections of the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 along the rotation axis are all fan-shaped surfaces, and have the same central angle, the circle center corresponding to the fan-shaped surfaces is located on the rotation axis where the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member 20 rotate relatively, and the fan-shaped surfaces are similar to the fan-shaped surfaces of the hand-operated fan. Since the relative movement between the first connecting element 10 and the second connecting element 20 is a rotational movement, the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 are arranged in a fan-shaped structure, and when the first connecting element 10 and the second connecting element 20 rotate relatively, the friction between the elastic resetting element 30 and the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 can be reduced, specifically, for example, as shown in fig. 3, if the first connecting element 10 rotates from the first side to the second side relative to the second connecting element 20, since the first abutting portion 11 and the second abutting portion 21 are arranged in a fan-shaped structure, at the first side, the part of the elastic resetting element 30 abutting against the first abutting portion 11 does not displace relatively (or has a small displacement) with the first abutting portion 11, and the abrasion of the elastic resetting element 30 and the first abutting portion 11 at the abutting position is reduced. Similarly, on the second side, the part of the elastic restoring member 30 abutting against the second abutting portion 21 does not displace relative to the second abutting portion 21 (or the displacement is small), so that the abrasion of the elastic restoring member 30 and the second abutting portion 21 at the abutting position can be reduced.

Optionally, at least one groove (not shown) is provided on the first abutting portion 11 and/or the second abutting portion 21, and may be used to reduce the overall weight of the damping structure.

In the above embodiment of the present invention, the elastic restoring member 30 may be a C-shaped plate spring or a shaped spring. In an embodiment, when the elastic restoring member 30 is a C-shaped plate spring, it may include a plurality of attached plate springs, and different amounts of the plate springs may obtain different restoring forces, so that the number of the plate springs may be configured according to practical situations, for example, the elastic restoring member 30 shown in fig. 10 includes a first plate spring 31 and a second plate spring 32 attached to each other.

In this embodiment, the damping structure includes two connecting arms 50, and the two connecting arms 50 are fixedly connected to the first connecting member 10 and symmetrically arranged with respect to the rotation axis of the first connecting member 10 and the second connecting member.

Alternatively, the first connecting member 10 and the two connecting arms 50 may be integrally formed.
