TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of ice racing equipment, in particular
to a locking structure for assembling and disassembling a skate.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Skating is a sport that uses skates to walk or race on the ice. In winter Olympic
Games, there are also many kinds of skating events, such as short-track speed skating
for racing, racing speed skating and figure skating for performance. Curling and ice
hockey have also appeared on the field in recent years. At the same time, countries
are gradually vigorously promoting people to participate in various ice sports.
[0003] In the existing ice sports, the fierce high-speed sliding and the abrasion of skates
have great influence in skating, especially in such sports as ice hockey and figure
skating, where the blades are short and the longitudinal curvature is large. Whether
the skates can be in the best state is very important. Therefore, at the ice hockey
game or figure skating scene, it is necessary to use the gap between the games to
quickly sharpen the skates without taking off the protective gear and skates. The
best solution is to ensure that the skating shoes with detachable skates are in the
best sharpness state. However, the existing skate replacement mechanism is very laborious
and cumbersome to operate and has great potential safety problems. For example, in
curling and ice hockey, it is very difficult for athletes to remove skates with thick
gloves since athletes wear thick protective gear. However, removing protective gear
to disassemble skates in a short gap in the competition will have many unfavorable
factors for the competition, which on the one hand, may cause the adjustment to be
less than optimal when wearing protective gear again, and on the other hand, may waste
a lot of time. In addition, the ice residue deposited between the skates and the cutter
groove in the market skates will condense after long-term sliding, which makes it
difficult to remove the skates. For users who wear gloves and other protective gear,
and a weak group among ordinary consumers such as women, children and the elderly,
the operation when the skates need to be replaced is also very unfriendly. In order
to ensure that the detachable skates are not easy to fall off in intense sports, commercially
available skating shoes with replaceable skates usually uses a strong torsion spring
or a high-hardness spring, so that the locking part in the disassembly and assembly
of the skates can be firmly clamped with the hook on the skates, so as to ensure that
there is no problem that the locking part for fixing the skates will not come loose
due to the impact of external forces after the skates are installed, but it is not
easy for professional ice hockey players or ordinary consumers to resist the strong
torsion of the strong torsion spring or the elastic force of the spring in the process
of disassembling and assembling the skates. For professional racing athletes, the
time of each competition is very precious for them, and too much time cannot be wasted
on changing skates. Moreover, because the parts that keep elasticity, such as springs
or torsion springs, are usually made of metal, it is hard to avoid ice slag remaining
in the skate bracket during skating, which easily leads to corrosion of elastic parts
made of metal. In addition, due to the cold nature of sports on ice and snow, in the
low temperature and rusty environment, metal is more likely to break due to sudden
external force extrusion, which is very dangerous for the fierce high-speed confrontation
movement.
[0004] In addition, in the prior art, there is a way to fix the skates by folding wrenches
similar to those in bicycle quick-release assemblies, that is, using a hook-shaped
member that can hook the hooks on the skates, and using a wrench hinged on the skate
bracket at the tail of the hook-shaped member, the hook-shaped member is pressed at
the top to compress the spring in the turning process, and then the hooks of the skates
are released, so as to achieve the manner of quick disassembly and assembly. It is
found in experiments that this method of fixing skates is very easy to cause the wrench
to be turned over after the external sharp object squeezes the position of the wrench
located at the bottom of the articulated shaft. Because the top pressing part of this
wrench is usually designed as an eccentric wheel, it is basically inevitable that
it will be turned over after being touched, which will cause very dangerous safety
hazards for players or consumers who participate in high-speed skating.
[0005] Therefore, the existing locking mechanism for assembling and disassembling a skate
needs to be improved urgently.

34 at the end of the polygonal block is inserted is provided with a polygonal groove
capable of accommodating the polygonal block, and the polygonal groove is capable
of being clamped with or disengaged from the polygonal block when the driving shaft
moves transversely.
[0018] As a further solution of the present disclosure, one end of the driving shaft passes
through the side wall of the skate bracket, and is provided with a screwing device
at the end extending out of the outer side wall surface of the skate bracket, which
is capable of being turned over and opened to facilitate the rotation of the driving
shaft.
[0019] As a further solution of the present disclosure, the screwing device comprises a
folding locking wrench, which is hinged at the end of the driving shaft and is capable

skate bracket, and the other end thereof is top pressed against the driving member
fixed on the driving shaft. After the reset spring is turned over vertically with
the folding locking wrench, it is attached to the side wall of the skate bracket,
which eliminates the potential safety problem that the skates are separated after
the folding locking wrench is turned over by mistake due to the impact of external
force during sliding.
[0020] As a further solution of the present disclosure, a fixing part is further provided
between the folding locking wrench and the outer side wall of the skate bracket, which
is capable of fixing the folding locking wrench on the outer side wall of the skate
bracket after the folding locking wrench is turned over and closed.
[0021] As a preferable solution of the present disclosure, the fixing part comprises a fastener
provided on the outer side wall of the folding locking wrench, and a through-hole

is capable of keeping the pressing block extending outward, thus preventing the risk
that the folding locking wrench is turned over during sliding due to external force.
[0022] As a preferable solution of the present disclosure, the side wall of the skate bracket
is further provided with an accommodating groove capable of accommodating the folding

[0024] As a further solution of the present disclosure, the pushing part comprises a top
pressing member which is fixed at the bottom of the guide member, extends downwards
and is capable of moving synchronously with the guide member and capable of squeezing
the top of the skate hook in the hook accommodating cavity. The skate can be ejected
from the cutter groove while unlocking the skate hook, thus further achieving the
effect of rapidly disassembling the skates. The front bottom of the top pressing member
is provided with a chamfer, which is beneficial for the top pressing member to smoothly
push out the skate hook at its position.
[0025] To sum up, compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the beneficial
effects that: the present disclosure uses a folding locking wrench provided at one
side of the skate bracket to drive the gear fixedly provided on the driving shaft

guide member can drive the locking hook to move back and forth along the guide groove
in the hook accommodating cavity, so that the locking hook can lock a skate hook in
the hook accommodating cavity, or release the skate hook from the hook accommodating
cavity, so as to achieve the purpose of easily disassembling the skate. The locking
part is provided on the driving shaft, which can limit the rotation of the driving
member, so that the locking hook cannot be separated from the skate hook. The folding
locking wrench which can be completely attached to the skate bracket is matched to
achieve the manner of locking the skate extremely safely and firmly, so that the situation
that the folding locking wrench is accidentally opened after being touched by an external
object in high-speed sliding is avoided, ensuring that the locking hook cannot be
displaced again after locking the skate hook, and completely locking the skate on
the skating shoes. The method of preventing falling off by using elastic parts such
as springs to clamp the locking part to the hook on the skate is omitted, which is
not only more convenient, fast and reliable, but also more friendly to users such
as women and children with less strength. The skate can be unlocked and fixed independently
and easily without too much force, and the skate can be ejected from the cutter groove
while unlocking the skate hook, thus further achieving the effect of rapidly disassembling
the skates. Even users wearing gloves and other protective devices or users with insufficient
strength can easily disassemble the skates.

[0029] The present disclosure will be further described with reference to the accompanying
drawings and specific embodiments. The first embodiment of the locking structure for
assembling and disassembling a skate as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 comprises: a skate bracket
10 connected to the sole, wherein the bottom of the skate bracket 10 is provided with
a cutter groove 11 into which a skate 14 is inserted, one end of the cutter groove
11 is provided with a first clamping point 12 capable of clamping a skate hook 141A
at one end, and one end of the cutter groove 11 far away from the first clamping point
12 is provided with a hook accommodating cavity 13 into which a skate hook 141B at
the other end is inserted; in this embodiment, the first clamping point 12 is integrally
formed in the skate bracket 10 when the skate bracket 10 is injection molded;
a clamping member 20, wherein the clamping member 20 is provided in the hook accommodating
cavity 13 in the manner of sliding back and forth and is capable of locking the skate
hook 141B located in the hook accommodating cavity 13 in the hook accommodating cavity
13 or releasing the skate hook 141B from the hook accommodating cavity 13, and a guide
groove 23 is provided in the hook accommodating cavity 13 to enable the clamping member
20 to move back and forth in the hook accommodating cavity 13;
a driving member 30, wherein the driving member 30 is provided on the skate bracket
10 and located at one side of the hook accommodating cavity 13, and is capable of
driving the clamping member 20 to slide back and forth in the hook accommodating cavity
13, so that the skate hook located in the hook accommodating cavity 13 is locked by
or released from the clamping member 20; by rotating the driving member 30, the clamping
member 20 is driven to release the skate hook 141B when moving forward, and lock and
fix the skate hook 141B when the clamping member 20 moves backward, so that it cannot
fall off from the hook accommodating cavity 13;
a locking part 6, wherein the locking part 6 is formed on the driving member 30 and
is capable of being used to cooperate with the driving member 30 to prevent the clamping
member 20 from sliding back and forth in the hook accommodating cavity 13.
[0030] In addition, the clamping member 20 is further provided with a pushing part 8, which,
when the clamping member 20 releases the skate hook 141B falling out of the hook accommodating
cavity 13, is capable of synchronously pushing the skate hook out of the hook accommodating
cavity 13, so that the skate 14 is disassembled faster, and the difficulty of disassembling
the skate 14 in the cutter groove 11 due to the blockage of the ice slag will be prevented,
which will affect the time for replacing the skate.
[0031] The clamping member 20 comprises: a locking hook 21, which is movably matched with
the skate hook 141B in the hook accommodating cavity 13 for mutually hooking together,
a guide member 22, which is fixedly connected to one end of the locking hook 21, and
a driving shaft 34, which is rotatably provided transversely from left to right on
the skate bracket 10 where the hook accommodating cavity is located, and the driving
member 30 is provided on the driving shaft 34.As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the guide
member 22 in this embodiment is a long square block, the bottom of which is fixedly
and integrally formed with a locking hook 21 bent backward. The shape of the locking
hook 21 matches the shape of the skate hook 141B. In this embodiment, if the hook
of the skate hook 141B is bent forward, the locking hook 21 is bent backward. If the
hook of the skate hook 141B is bent backward, the locking hook 21 is bent forward.
The bending direction of the locking hook 21 will also change according to the shape
of the skates actually matched. One end of the guide member 22 on the locking hook
21 is inserted into the guide groove 23 and can move back and forth in the guide groove
23. The guide groove 23 can be provided at the front end of the guide member 22 or
at the rear of the guide member 22. It should be noted that in this embodiment, when
the guide groove 23 is provided at the rear of the guide member 22, the tail end of
the guide groove is an open water outlet, which is communicated with the cutter groove
11. At this time, the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the guide groove 23 is
a slope surface with a high front end and a low back end, so that the ice slag and
water entering the hook accommodating cavity 13 can be better removed, so as to prevent
the ice slag and water from freezing in the guide groove 23 and affect the activities
of the guide member 22. When the guide groove is provided at the front end of the
guide member 22, there is no need to provide a water outlet and a slope surface with
a high front end and a low back end. In this embodiment, the skate 14 is first inserted
into the cutter groove 11, in which the skate hook 141A is aligned with the first
clamping point 12 for clamping, and the skate hook 141B is turned over and inserted
into the hook accommodating cavity 13. By rotating the driving shaft 34, the driving
member 30 provided thereon drives the guide member 22 with the locking hook 21 at
the bottom to move back and forth in the hook accommodating cavity 13. During the
moving process, the locking hook 21 is hooked with or released from the skate hook
141B inserted into the hook accommodating cavity 13, so that the skate 14 is locked
in the cutter groove 11 or released from the cutter groove 11.
[0032] FIG. 2 to FIG. 6 show the embodiment of the driving member 30. The driving member
comprises a rack 33 fixedly formed on the guide member 22; and a gear A 35 which is
fixedly provided on the driving shaft 34, coaxial with the driving shaft 34 and capable
of being meshed with the rack 33. The rack 33 is fixedly formed on the bottom surface
of the guide member 22. In addition, one end of the driving shaft 34 passes through
the side wall of the skate bracket 10, and is provided with a screwing device 4 at
the end extending out of the outer side wall surface of the skate bracket 10, which
is capable of being turned over and opened to facilitate the rotation of the driving
shaft 34.
[0033] FIG. 1, FIG. 3 to FIG. 6 show the embodiment of the screwing device 4. The screwing
device 4 comprises a folding locking wrench 41, which is hinged at the end of the
driving shaft 34 and is capable of pulling the driving shaft 34 to axially displace
when being turned over and opened, and the driving shaft 34 in the inner cavity of
the skate bracket 10 is provided with a reset spring 5 capable of driving the driving
shaft 34 to reset after the folding locking wrench 41 is turned over to be parallel
to the side wall of the skate bracket 10. In this embodiment, one end of the reset
spring 5 is top pressed against the side wall of the inner cavity of the skate bracket
10, and the other end thereof is top pressed against the gear A35 (the driving member
30) which is fixed to the driving shaft 34. One end of the reset spring 5 is top pressed
against the side wall of the inner cavity of the skate bracket 10, and the other end
is top pressed against the gear A35 (the driving member 30) fixed on the driving shaft
34. In this embodiment, the hinging manner of the folding locking wrench 41 can be
implemented with reference to the state shown in FIG. 1 and FIGS. 3 to 6. The folding
locking wrench 41 is a long strip-shaped flip sheet with a rectangular notch at its
bottom. The driving shaft 34 is hinged in the rectangular notch, and the position
should be close to the middle of the flip sheet in the rectangular notch, so that
when the folding locking wrench 41 is turned over and opened, the driving shaft 34
can be pulled to move axially toward the side wall surface of the skate bracket 10
where the folding locking wrench 41 is located (refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 5). At this
time, the reset spring 5 is compressed, and the reset spring 5 is released when the
folding locking wrench 41 is turned over to be attached to the side wall and parallel
to the outer wall surface of the side of the skate bracket 10. The driving shaft 34
can be axially displaced to the other side of the skate bracket 10. The side wall
of the folding locking wrench 41 is attached to the side wall of the skate bracket
10 (refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 4 and FIG. 6), and the attached state is maintained, so
that the folding locking wrench 41 of the skating shoes is prevented from being touched
and hit during sliding. As can be seen from FIG. 1, FIG. 3 to FIG. 6, in this embodiment,
the side wall of the skate bracket 10 where the folding locking wrench 41 is located
is provided with an accommodating groove 411, which can accommodate the folding locking
wrench 41 in the closed state. The diameter width of the accommodating groove 411
at the position where the driving shaft 34 passes through is larger than the width
of the folding locking wrench 41, while the shape of the accommodating groove 411
above the driving shaft 34 is basically the same as the length, width and height of
the folding locking wrench 41, and are just slightly larger than the length, width
and height of the folding locking wrench 41 by 1MM, so that the folding locking wrench
41 can be further locked to prevent accidental rotation. In actual use, compared with
an eccentric wheel-shaped flip folding wrench used in bicycles, in this embodiment,
when the folding locking wrench 41 is turned over to be parallel to the side wall
of the skate bracket 10, the contact surface of the screwing device 4 and the skate
bracket 10 can be completely attached to the side wall of the skate bracket 10, reducing
the risk that the folding locking wrench 41 is easily turned over by mistake due to
the impact of external force, and increasing the safety of the locking structure for
assembling and disassembling a skate.
[0034] As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the locking part 6 comprises a
clamping groove 60 which is formed on the side wall of the inner cavity of the skate
bracket 10 and is capable of clamping the teeth of the gear A 35.The clamping groove
60 can clamp the teeth of the gear A35. When the driving shaft 34 is turned over to
be in the closed state by the folding locking wrench 41 (refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 4 and
FIG. 6), the reset spring 5 is released, so that the driving shaft 34 drives the gear
A35 which is coaxial with the driving shaft and capable of being meshed with the rack
33 to move away from the direction where the folding locking wrench 41 is located.
The clamping groove 60 which is provided on the wall surface of the inner cavity of
the skate bracket 10 away from the side where the folding locking wrench 41 is located
just catches the teeth of the shifted gear A35, limiting the rotation of the gear
A35. As can be seen from FIGS. 5 and 6, in this embodiment, the width of the gear
A35 is greater than the displacement distance. Therefore, at this time, after the
locking hook 21 and the skate hook 141B inserted into the hook accommodating cavity
13 are hooked, the teeth of the gear A35 will not be separated from the rack 33 by
the left-right displacement of the gear A35. That is, when the gear A35 is displaced
into the clamping groove 60, the teeth at the bottom of the gear A35 are clamped into
the clamping groove 60 and the teeth of the rack 33 at the same time. Finally, the
folding locking wrench 41 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 411 so that
it cannot rotate, so as to achieve the state of completely locking the skate 14. On
the contrary, the locking hook 21 is removed from the skate hook 141B to achieve the
purpose of releasing and unlocking the skate 14. In addition, in repeated experiments
and feedback from users, it is found that after a long time of skating, when it is
necessary to change the skate to sharpen the skate or replace the skate, the ice residue
remaining in the cutter groove 11 will be condensed between the skate 14 and the cutter
groove 11, which sometimes makes it difficult to remove the skate by hand, especially
when wearing gloves and other protective gear. Therefore, when the skate 14 is unlocked
in this embodiment, the pushing part 8 on the clamping member 20 can push the skate
hook 141B out of the hook accommodating cavity 13 synchronously while unlocking the
skate hook 141B, thus further realizing the effect of rapidly disassembling the skate.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the pushing part 8 comprises a top pressing member
81 which is fixed at the bottom of the guide member 22 and extends downwards. The
front bottom of the top pressing member 81 is provided with a chamfer (in this embodiment,
the inverted arc angle is taken as an example), and the chamfer is used to squeeze
the rear end of the top of the skate hook 141B during the synchronous movement of
the top pressing member 81 along with the forward movement of the guide member 22,
so that the skate hook 141B is forced to move downward. At this time, since the skate
hook 141A at one end of the skate 14 is still clamped at the first clamping point
12, the skate 14 squeezes the back end of the top of the skate hook 141B by the top
pressing member 81, and the skate will be turned over downward with the first clamping
point 12 as the axis (refer to FIG. 3). After the back end of the skate 14 is pushed
out of the cutter groove 11, it can be easily removed. With this design, the skate
14 will be disassembled faster, preventing the skate 14 from being difficult to be
disassembled due to the blockage of ice slag in the cutter groove 11, which not only
greatly shortens the time for replacing the skate, but also can be used more friendly
for users who wear gloves and other protective devices or users with less strength.
[0035] FIG. 7 to FIG. 12 show a second embodiment of a locking structure for assembling
and disassembling a skate of the present disclosure. It can be clearly seen from the
figure that this embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, except
that the formation of the guide member 22 is different from the implementation of
the driving member 30 and the locking part 6. In this embodiment, a strip-shaped groove
31, through which the driving shaft 34 is capable of passing, penetrates through the
side wall of the guide member 22 from the left to the right. The driving member 30
comprises a rack 33 fixedly formed on the guide member 22 and is located on a side
wall surface of the bottom plane of the strip-shaped groove 31. A gear A35 is fixedly
provided on the driving shaft 34, which is coaxial with the driving shaft 34 and can
be meshed with the rack 33. In this embodiment, both ends of the driving shaft 34
are rotatably fixed on the left and right side wall surfaces of the skate bracket
10. After the skate hook 141B on the top of the skate 14 is inserted into the hook
accommodating cavity 13, the driving shaft 34 is rotated, and the gear A35 will rotate
synchronously. Because the gear A35 is meshed with the rack 33, the rack 33 will be
driven to move when the gear A35 rotates, thus causing a backward displacement in
the guide groove 23. Immediately at the same time, the guide member 22 drives the
locking hook 21 to move backward in the hook accommodating cavity 13. In this way,
the hook tongue of the locking hook 21 will move towards the direction of the skate
hook 141B, until the two hooks will hold each other after the hook tongue of the skate
hook 141B is hooked. At this time, the locking of the skate 14 is completed. When
unlocking, the driving shaft 34 can be rotated counterclockwise by the folding locking
wrench 41, so that the skate 14 can be unlocked and released. The locking part 6 comprises
locking teeth 32 arranged in sequence on the inner ring wall surface of the strip-shaped
groove 31, each tooth surface of the locking teeth 32 at the top coincides with each
tooth surface of the rack 33, and the gear A 35 is capable of being clamped with the
locking teeth 32 extending into the strip-shaped groove 31. After the folding locking
wrench 41 is turned over horizontally (the "horizontal turning over" of the folding
locking wrench 41 in this embodiment uses the angle shown in FIGS. 7, FIG. 10 to FIG.
12 as an example, that is, the open state of the folding locking wrench 41). Due to
the displacement of the driving shaft 34, the gear A35 on the driving shaft 34 will
move out of the strip-shaped groove 31 having the locking teeth 32 at the same time,
and then is meshed with the rack 33. The folding locking wrench 41 is rotated to unlock,
install and fix the skate. When the folding locking wrench 41 is turned over to the
vertical state (the "vertical" of the folding locking wrench 41 in this embodiment
uses the angle shown in FIGS. 7, FIG. 10 to FIG. 12 as an example, that is, the closed
state of the folding locking wrench 41), the reset spring 5 (one end of the reset
spring 5 in this embodiment is top pressed against the side wall of the inner cavity
of the skate bracket 10, and the other end thereof is top pressed against the gear
A35 (the driving member 30) fixed on the driving shaft 34) will make the gear A35
re-enter the strip-shaped groove 31 with the locking teeth 32. As the upper and lower
tooth surfaces of the gear A35 are meshed with the locking teeth 32 at the upper and
lower positions in the strip-shaped groove 31, respectively, the gear A35 will be
locked and cannot rotate at the present stage. Similarly, the guide member 22 will
not be able to displace back and forth in the guide groove 23, which effectively ensures
that the hook tongue of the locking hook 21 and the hook tongue of the skate hook
141B will not be separated from each other, and ensures the safety of athletes wearing
skating shoes in fierce high-speed sliding. In this embodiment, no matter whether
the folding locking wrench 41 is turned over or the gear A35 is rotated by the folding
locking wrench 41 to drive the locking hook 21 to move back and forth, the disassembly
and assembly of the skate can be realized without too much force, and the disassembly
and assembly of the skate can be completed more quickly, which greatly saves time.
[0036] FIG. 13 to FIG. 19 show a third embodiment of the locking structure for assembling
and disassembling a skate of the present disclosure. It can be clearly seen from the
figure that this embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, except
that the formation of the guide member 22 is different from the implementation of
the driving member 30 and the locking part 6. A strip-shaped groove 31 penetrates
through the side wall of the guide member 22 from left to right, through which the
driving shaft 34 passes. A U-shaped groove 36 is fixedly provided on one side of the
guide member 22 adjacent to the folding locking wrench 41. A central notch 361 of
the U-shaped groove 36 is communicated with the strip-shaped groove 31 on the guide
member 22. The driving shaft 34 rotatably provided transversely from left to right
on the skate bracket 10 and passing through the driving shaft 34 of the strip-shaped
groove 31 can also pass through the central notch 361 of the U-shaped groove 36. A
swing rod 37 is provided on the driving shaft 34 at the central notch of the U-shaped
groove 36. When the folding locking wrench 41 drives the driving shaft 34 to rotate
counterclockwise or clockwise, the swing rod 37 can perform swinging action with the
driving shaft 34 as the axis. While swinging along with the driving shaft 34, the
swing rod 37 squeezes the left and right inner walls of the central notch of the U-shaped
groove 36, forcing the U-shaped groove 36 to drive the guide member 22 to move back
and forth along the guide groove 23, and completing the hooking or separating of the
locking hook 21 and the skate hook 141B. However, the locking part 6 in this embodiment
can be the same as the locking part 6 in the previous embodiment. Alternatively, a
gear B is provided, which is coaxial with the driving shaft 34 and fixed on the driving
shaft 34. Locking teeth 32 are arranged in sequence on the inner ring wall surface
of the strip-shaped groove 31. The gear B and the locking teeth 32 are clamped with
each other when the driving shaft 34 is displaced transversely into the strip-shaped
groove 31. The gear B is formed on the side of the swing rod 37 and the gear A35 adjacent
to the guide member 22, and is similarly fixedly sleeved on the driving shaft 34 and
coaxial with the driving shaft 34. When the folding locking wrench 41 is turned over
to the same vertical state as the side wall of the skate bracket 10 (the "vertical
state" of the folding locking wrench 41 in this embodiment uses the angle shown in
FIGS. 14 to 19 as an example, that is, the closed state of the folding locking wrench
41), the swing rod 37, the gear 35 and the gear B move along the axial direction of
the driving shaft 34 with the driving shaft 34. At this time, the gear A35 and the
gear B enter the strip-shaped groove 31 and are clamped with the locking teeth 32
to lock the guide member 22, so that it cannot move back and forth in the guide groove
23. On the contrary, the folding locking wrench 41 is turned over to be vertical or
horizontal to the side wall of the skate bracket 10 (the "horizontal state" of the
folding locking wrench 41 in this embodiment uses the angle shown in FIGS. 14 to 19
as an example, that is, the open state of the folding locking wrench 41). Of course,
it should be noted that the shape of the U-shaped groove 36 in this embodiment is
not limited to U-shape, but also can be provided as an oval shape with a long top
side and a long bottom side. In addition, it should also be noted that FIGS. 10 to
13 also show another embodiment of the locking part 6 based on this embodiment. A
polygonal block 61 coaxial with the driving shaft 34 is fixedly sleeved at one end
of the driving shaft 34 away from the folding locking wrench 41. The inner wall of
the skate bracket 10 into which the driving shaft 34 at the end where the polygonal
block 61 is located is inserted is also provided with a polygonal groove 62, which
can accommodate the polygonal block 61. When the folding locking wrench 41 is turned
over to be in the same vertical state as the side wall of the skate bracket 10, the
driving shaft 34 moves in the direction of the polygonal groove 62 along the axial
direction of the driving shaft 34. At this time, the polygonal block 61 is inserted
into the polygonal groove 62, and the swing rod 37 and the driving shaft 34 are locked
so that they cannot be reversed, achieving the effect that the locking hook 21 and
the skate hook 141B hooked therewith are locked and cannot be separated from each
other. On the contrary, when the folding locking wrench 41 is turned over to be vertical
to the side wall of the skate bracket 10, the guide member 22 can be unlocked, so
that the locking hook 21 can be separated from its hooked skate hook 141B, and the
purpose of detaching the skate can be achieved. Of course, another embodiment of the
locking part 6 in this embodiment can also be implemented in combination with the
first embodiment of the present disclosure, that is, the polygonal groove 62 provided
on the inner wall of the skate bracket 10 is used to replace the clamping groove 60
in the first embodiment, and the polygonal block 61 coaxial with the end of the driving
shaft 34 is matched to replace the locking part 6 in the first embodiment.
[0037] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a return spring 211 can also be provided
at one end of the locking hook 21, one end of the return spring 211 is top pressed
and fixed on the side wall end of the locking hook 21, and the other end thereof is
top pressed and fixed on the inner wall of the hook accommodating cavity 13. When
the locking hook 21 and the skate hook 141B are released, the return spring 211 can
automatically rebound the locking hook 21, reducing the manual screwing time.
[0038] In addition, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 12, in the above embodiment, a fixing part
7 is further provided between the folding locking wrench 41 and the outer side wall
of the skate bracket 10, wherein the fixing part is capable of fixing the folding
locking wrench 41 on the outer side wall of the skate bracket 10 after the folding
locking wrench is turned over vertically. In one embodiment, the fixing part 7 comprises
a fastener 71 provided on the outer side wall of the folding locking wrench 41, and
a through-hole fastener 70 formed on the outer side wall of the skate bracket 10 into
which the fastener 71 is inserted and clamped together, respectively. The fastener
71 comprises a fastening groove 72 formed at the tail end of the folding locking wrench
41 and provided with an opening, the fastening groove 72 is provided with a pressing
block 73, one end of which extends out of the opening of the fastening groove 72,
and the other end of which is capable of moving back and forth in the fastening groove
72, the pressing block 73 extends outward from the pressing block 73 towards the wall
surface of the outer side wall of the skate bracket 10 and is formed with a hook 74
which is capable of being inserted into the through-hole fastener 70 to be hooked
and fixed, and a pressing spring 75 is further provided between the pressing block
73 and the inner side wall surface of the fastening groove 72, which is capable of
keeping the pressing block 73 extending outward. In this embodiment, after the hook
74 extends into the through-hole fastener 70, the hook is hooked on the inner side
wall surface of the skate bracket 10. Because the pressing spring 75 will top press
the pressing block 73 toward the opening direction of the fastening groove 72, and
the hook body of the fastener will also face the opening direction of the fastening
groove 72, at this time, the fastener will be firmly hooked in the through-hole fastener
70, thus preventing the hidden danger that the folding locking wrench 41 will be turned
over or opened after accidental collision during sliding. Alternatively, another embodiment
of the fixing part 7 comprises magnets which are respectively provided on the outer
side walls of the folding locking wrench 41 and the skate bracket 10 and can be mutually
attracted together. By the mutual attraction of the magnets, the effect of preventing
the folding locking wrench 41 from being turned over or opened after accidental collision
during sliding can also be achieved. The state after the folding locking wrench 41
is vertically turned over in the above embodiment is the overlapping state that the
side wall of the folding locking wrench 41 is adhered to the wall surface of the accommodating
groove 411 on the outer side wall surface of the skate support 10 (refer to the attached
drawing for details).
[0039] It should be noted that the above embodiment is not the only way, and the combination
of the locking part 6 and the driving member 30 can be combined according to actual
use.
