Lace protection protrusion 102 is provided with one or more lace guide holes 103. In this embodiment, two lace guide holes 103 are provided. The center of the bottom of pedestal 10 is convexly provided with step 104. The center of the upper bottom surface of step 104 is convexly provided with cylinder 105. The center of cylinder 105 is correspondingly provided with threaded hole 106. The outer wall of the cylinder 105 is provided with groove 107. Step 104 is provided with three notches 1041 at intervals. In some embodiments, the groove and the notch may not be designed, which does not affect the main function.
(35) As shown in
(36) In other preferred embodiments, the cover body can also be matched and attached to the rotor through the snap. The rotor is provided with the snap and the clamping slot, the cover body is correspondingly provided with the clamping slot and the snap, and the rotor is embedded within the cover body through the snap-fit structure. The outer side wall of the cover body is provided with a gripping portion, and the gripping portion is provided with a circle of gripping protrusions, which is convenient for a user to control the rotation or up and down movement of the cover body. Correspondingly, the rotor does not need to be provided with the gripping portion. The cover body is used for covering the expansion bracket and the functional module and the power supply accommodated in the module cavity thereof, and is matched and attached with the rotor and the pedestal to form an integral locking configuration.
(37) The end of hollow cylinder 122 is provided with three elastic feet 123 and three reinforcing protrusions 124, elastic feet 123 and reinforcing protrusions 124 are arranged adjacent to each other. Three elastic feet 123 are arranged at intervals, three reinforcing protrusions 124 are arranged at intervals, and gaps are left between the adjacent elastic feet and the reinforcing protrusions.
(38) Reinforcing protrusion 124 includes base portion 1241 and protrusion portion 1242. Protrusion portion 1242 is embedded in notch 1041 of the pedestal. The fitting of protrusion portion 1242 and notch 1041 is beneficial to realizing a stable matching attachment of the expansion bracket and the pedestal, so as to prevent the expansion bracket from rotating when rotating the rotor vigorously.
(39) Each elastic foot 123 includes a root and an elastomer, and each elastic foot is provided with limiting slot 1231 for limiting the retaining ring. The end face of the elastomer is provided with a corner protrusion. Limiting slot 1231 is arranged on the outer side face of the elastomer, and the transition surface between the corner protrusion and limiting slot 1231 is a glossy surface. The corner projection and limiting slot 1231 can provide two gears.

(44) The center of the bottom of cavity 111 extends to the center of cylinder 116 and is longitudinally provided with a through hole to form accommodation cavity 115 for accommodating hollow cylinder 122, elastic foot 123 and reinforcing protrusion 124 of the expansion bracket. The end of accommodation cavity 115 close to cylinder 116 is provided with retaining ring 1151, which cooperates with gear protrusion 124 to realize the gear function. The upper end of accommodation cavity 115 is provided with two grooves 1152. The depth of grooves 1152 extends to the second retaining wall of winding slot 112. Grooves 1152 are used for placing the knot of the lace, which is beneficial to saving space.
(45) Preferably, the outer wall of rotor cavity 111 is provided with gripping portion 117 including a plurality of gripping claws 1171 to facilitate the user to control the rotation or up and down movement of the rotor.
(46) The overall schematic diagram of the assembled lacing device is shown in
(47) Rotor 11 is moved downward through the gripping portion to make retaining ring 1151 at the bottom of the accommodation cavity of the rotor abut against the lower edge of the corner projection, i.e., the position of the first gear. The internal teeth are in an engaged connection with the external pawl, and the rotor can only rotate in the direction of tightening the lace. Rotor 11 is pulled up through the gripping portion to make retaining ring 1151 at the bottom of the accommodation cavity of the rotor abuts against the limiting slot, i.e. the position of the second gear. The internal teeth and the external pawl disengage, and the rotor can freely rotate in the directions of loosening the lace and tightening the lace, respectively.

(50) As shown in
(51) Preferably, top surface 2662 includes sliding surface 2662A intersecting with guide surface 2663 and plane 2662B intersecting with resistance surface 2661.
(52) Preferably, resistance surface 2661 is rectangular, increasing the stress area of the teeth and the pawls, which is conducive to enhancing the reverse pulling force and the anti-reverse capability.
(53) The inner wall of the cavity of upper cover 26 is provided with at least one snap-fit part 265, sleeve 24 is correspondingly provided with snap-fit protrusion 244, and the upper cover is snapped on the periphery of the sleeve to form an integral locking structure of the lacing device.
(54) The outer periphery of upper cover 26 is provided with gripping portion 267. The gripping portion facilitates the user to rotate or move the upper cover, thereby realizing the adjustment of the gear position and the tightening and loosening of the lace through the gripping portion.
(55) In other embodiments, the positions of the elastic pin and the retaining ring can be interchanged, i.e., the elastic pin is arranged in the center of the upper cover, and the retaining ring is arranged in the center of the bottom of the sleeve.
(56) In other embodiments, the center of the upper cover is provided with a gear tooth, and the outer periphery of the gear tooth is provided with at least one external tooth. Correspondingly, the pawl ring of the sleeve includes the annular pedestal, one or more pawl arms are attached to the inner periphery of the annular pedestal and having one or more internal pawls formed thereon, and the internal pawls and the external tooth on the upper cover can engage or disengage. The end faces of the gear tooth and the winding slot are provided with the corresponding second meshing tooth.
(57) When the lacing device is in use, after threading the lace, upper cover 26 is forcibly pressed down, and a click sound is heard, second meshing tooth 264 on upper cover 26 and first meshing tooth 233 on winding slot 23 engage (after engagement, the upper cover can only rotate in the tightening direction and cannot rotate in the loosening direction). When upper cover 26 is rotated in the tightening direction, a crisp click sound can be heard. At this moment, external pawl 253 and internal teeth 2531 engage, and second meshing tooth 264 and first meshing tooth 233 engage. Upper cover 26 drives winding slot 23 to rotate in the tightening direction, and the lace is wound around winding slot 23. The object to be tightened is slowly tightened by the lace until the tightness is proper. If the lace is tied too tight, upper cover 26 can be pulled up so that second meshing tooth 264 of the upper cover is out of contact with first meshing tooth 233 of the winding slot. At this time, the tight lace will drive the winding slot to reverse and loosen the object. Upper cover 26 is pressed down again and the previous tightening action is repeated to adjust the object to be tightened to a proper tightness.
