Abstract

A rotary device includes a rotatable member and a limiting member. The rotatable member includes a positioning mechanism, the positioning mechanism includes a stopping member and a positioning member. When the rotatable member rotates along a first rotation direction to make the limiting member abut against the positioning member, the positioning member is pushed by the limiting member to move away from the stopping portion and rotate relative to the stopping member, so that the positioning member to passes through the limiting member; when the rotatable member rotates along a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction to make the limiting member abut against the positioning member, the positioning member is pushed by the limiting member to move close to the stopping portion, so that the positioning member is stopped between the limiting member and the stopping portion, to position the rotatable member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A rotary device, comprising:
a rotatable member, rotatably disposed on a base, wherein the rotatable member comprises a positioning mechanism, the positioning mechanism comprises a stopping member and a positioning member, the stopping member comprises a rotating shaft and a stopping portion, the stopping portion is protruded from the rotating shaft, the positioning member is rotatably sleeved over the rotating shaft, and one side of the positioning member corresponds to the stopping portion; and a limiting member, fixed on the base, wherein the limiting member is configured to selectively stop the positioning member according to a rotation direction of the rotatable member, wherein when the rotatable member rotates along a first rotation direction to make the limiting member abut against the positioning member, the positioning member is pushed by the limiting member to move away from the stopping portion and rotate relative to the stopping member, so that the positioning member passes through the limiting member; when the rotatable member rotates along a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction to make the limiting member abut against the positioning member, the positioning member is pushed by the limiting member to move close to the stopping portion, so that the positioning member is stopped between the limiting member and the stopping portion, to position the rotatable member.

2 . The rotary device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotatable member comprises a rotation body, the positioning mechanism further comprises a supporting member, the supporting member is disposed on the rotation body and is connected to the stopping member, and the rotating shaft extends along a radial direction of the rotation body and is protruded from the supporting member.

3 . The rotary device according to claim 2 , wherein the positioning member comprises a plate body portion and a shaft hole portion, the plate body portion is protruded from the shaft hole portion, the shaft hole portion is sleeved over the rotating shaft, and a part of the plate body portion corresponds to the stopping portion.

4 . The rotary device according to claim 3 , wherein the positioning member further comprises a protruding rib, the protruding rib is disposed on the plate body portion, and the protruding rib is configured to separate an area corresponding to the stopping portion of the plate body portion from an area that does not correspond to the stopping portion of the plate body portion.

5 . The rotary device according to claim 1 , further comprising a movable ring and a blocking member, wherein the movable ring and the blocking member are disposed coaxial with the rotatable member, the rotatable member is connected to the movable ring and drives the movable ring to rotate, the blocking member is fixed on the base and is located on a rotation path of the movable ring, and when the movable ring rotates along the rotation path and abuts against the blocking member, the blocking member is configured to block the movable ring, to position the rotatable member.

6 . The rotary device according to claim 5 , wherein the rotatable member further comprises a shaft body portion and a protruding portion, the positioning mechanism and the protruding portion are disposed on a periphery of the shaft body portion, and the protruding portion is located on the rotation path of the movable ring; the movable ring comprises a convex block, the convex block is protruded from a part of a circumference of the movable ring; and when the rotatable member rotates, the protruding portion pushes the convex block of the movable ring, so that the movable ring rotates along the rotation path, until the protruding portion and the blocking member respectively abut against two opposite ends of the convex block.

7 . The rotary device according to claim 1 , wherein the limiting member comprises a switching unit, when the rotatable member rotates along the second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction to make the limiting member abut against the positioning member, the switching unit is triggered.

8 . A rotary device, comprising:
a rotatable member, rotatably disposed on a base, wherein the rotatable member comprises a first positioning mechanism and a second positioning mechanism, the first positioning mechanism comprises a first stopping member and a first positioning member, the second positioning mechanism comprises a second stopping member and a second positioning member, each of the first stopping member and the second stopping member comprises a rotating shaft and a stopping portion, the stopping portion is protruded from the rotating shaft, the first positioning member and the second positioning member are respectively rotatably sleeved over the rotating shafts, and the stopping portions are separately correspondingly disposed on one side of the first positioning member and the second positioning member; and a limiting mechanism, fixed on the base, wherein the limiting mechanism is configured to selectively stop the first positioning member or the second positioning member according to a rotation direction of the rotatable member, wherein when the rotatable member rotates along a first rotation direction, the limiting mechanism allows the first positioning mechanism to pass through and the second positioning member is stopped between the limiting mechanism and the stopping portion of the second stopping member, to position the rotatable member; and when the rotatable member rotates along a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction, the limiting mechanism allows the second positioning mechanism to pass through and the first positioning member is stopped between the limiting mechanism and the stopping portion of the first stopping member, to position the rotatable member.

9 . The rotary device according to claim 8 , wherein the first positioning member is rotatably sleeved over the rotating shaft of the first stopping member, the stopping portion of the first stopping member is correspondingly disposed on the side of the first positioning member, and when the rotatable member rotates along the first rotation direction, the limiting mechanism allows the first positioning mechanism to pass through, so that the first positioning member is pushed by the limiting mechanism to move away from the stopping portion of the first stopping member and rotate along a first direction relative to the first stopping member, so that the first positioning member passes through the limiting mechanism; and the second positioning member is rotatably sleeved over the rotating shaft of the second stopping member, the stopping portion of the second stopping member is correspondingly disposed on the side of the second positioning member, when the rotatable member rotates along the second rotation direction, the limiting mechanism allows the second positioning mechanism to pass through, so that the second positioning member is pushed by the limiting mechanism to move away from the stopping portion of the second stopping member and rotate along a second direction relative to the second stopping member, and the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

10 . The rotary device according to claim 8 , wherein the limiting mechanism comprises a first limiting member and a second limiting member, the rotatable member further comprises a shaft body portion; the first positioning mechanism and the second positioning mechanism are disposed along an axial direction of the shaft body portion; and the first limiting member corresponds to the first positioning mechanism, to stop the first positioning mechanism and allo
