[0038] To provide a more detailed understanding of the features and technical content of the embodiments of this disclosure, the implementation of the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this disclosure. In the following technical description, for ease of explanation, several details are used to provide a full understanding of the disclosed embodiments. However, one or more embodiments may still be implemented without these details. In other cases, well-known structures and devices may be simplified in their depiction to simplify the drawings.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for describing embodiments of this disclosure herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0040] In this disclosure, the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "middle," "outer," "front," and "rear," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for better description of the embodiments of this disclosure and their implementations, and are not intended to limit the indicated devices, elements, or components to having a specific orientation, or to require them to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Furthermore, some of the aforementioned terms may be used to indicate other meanings besides orientation or positional relationship; for example, the term "upper" may in some cases indicate a dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in the embodiments of this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] Furthermore, the terms "set up," "connect," and "fix" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0042] Unless otherwise stated, the term "multiple" means two or more.

[0043] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or A and B.

[0044] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0045] For ease of description, the definition is as follows: Figure 4 The left and right directions shown are horizontal.

[0046] Combination Figures 3 to 14As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a chassis support assembly, which includes a chassis support 10 and an adjustment assembly 20. The chassis support 10 is configured with a moving track 101; the adjustment assembly 20 includes a lifting ring 201 with a lifting hole 2011 for cooperating with a lifting tool 30; wherein, the adjustment assembly 20 is movably disposed on the moving track 101 to adjust the position of the lifting hole 2011 on the chassis support 10. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment component 20 can move along the following path: Figure 4 and Figure 5 The arrow indicates reciprocating motion. Specifically, the moving track 101 extends horizontally, and the adjusting component 20 reciprocates horizontally.

[0047] The chassis support assembly of this disclosure includes a chassis support 10 with a moving track 101 and an adjustment component 20 with a lifting hole 2011. The lifting hole 2011 can be connected to the lifting tools of a lifting device. The device to be lifted includes the chassis support assembly of this disclosure, which facilitates the handling, lifting, and installation of the device by the lifting device. The adjustment component 20 can move along the moving track 101, so the lifting ring 201 can also move along the moving track 101. The position of the lifting hole 2011 is not fixed; the position of the lifting hole 2011 can be adjusted by the lifting ring 201 and the moving track 101. Thus, when lifting devices with different centers of gravity, the position of the lifting hole 2011 can be adjusted so that the lifting hole 2011 is in a reasonable position with the center of gravity of the device to be lifted, ensuring the stability of the lifting, reducing the risk and difficulty of the lifting operation, and improving the safety and efficiency of the lifting.

[0048] Optionally, such as Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the adjustment assembly 20 also includes a spring locking piece 202, which is connected to the lifting ring 201. The spring locking piece 202 has a positioning part 2021. The chassis bracket 10 has a positioning mating part that cooperates with the positioning part 2021. When the lifting ring 201 moves to the preset position, the positioning part 2021 cooperates with the positioning mating part to connect the spring locking piece 202 and the chassis bracket 10.

[0049] In the chassis support assembly of this embodiment, the spring-loaded locking piece 202 is connected to the lifting ring 201, allowing the spring-loaded locking piece 202 to move with the lifting ring 201. When the lifting ring 201 moves to a preset position (meaning the position of the lifting hole 2011 ensures that the lifting hole 2011 and the center of gravity of the device to be lifted are in a reasonable position), the positioning part 2021 of the spring-loaded locking piece 202 can cooperate with the positioning mating part of the chassis support 10, thus connecting the spring-loaded locking piece 202 and the chassis support 10, and connecting the chassis support 10 and the lifting ring 201. This further fixes the position of the lifting hole 2011, preventing it from moving and improving the stability of the lifting operation.

[0050] Optionally, such as Figure 11 As shown, when the positioning part 2021 is disengaged from the positioning mating part, the spring locking piece 202 undergoes elastic deformation.

[0051] When the positioning mating part is disengaged from the positioning mating part in the chassis bracket assembly of this disclosure, the spring locking piece 202 undergoes elastic deformation. In other words, when the positioning part 2021 and the positioning mating part are engaged, the elastic force of the spring locking piece 202 itself can improve the stability of the engagement between the positioning part 2021 and the positioning mating part, thereby improving the connection stability between the spring locking piece 202 and the chassis bracket 10.

[0052] Optionally, the positioning mating part includes a slot 103, and the positioning part 2021 includes a protrusion. When the positioning part 2021 mates with the positioning mating part, the protrusion is located within the slot 103.

[0053] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the slot 103 is a rectangular slot 103, and one end of the spring locking piece 202 is a protrusion with a rectangular cross-section. The rectangular slot 103 matches the protrusion, which makes it easy for the protrusion to be inserted into the slot 103.

[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 10 As shown, the spring locking piece 202 also includes a force-applying part 2024 and a connecting part. The connecting part extends vertically, and one end of the connecting part is provided with a first connecting part 2022. The other end of the connecting part is connected to one end of the force-applying part 2024. The other end of the force-applying part 2024 is connected to the positioning part 2021. The positioning part 2021 extends horizontally. The force-applying part 2024 is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped opening faces the lifting ring 201. In this way, the force-applying part 2024 makes it easy for the user to pull open the positioning part 2021 to facilitate the movement of the lifting ring 201.

[0055] For example, such as Figure 10 As shown, the spring retainer 202 is R-shaped, which makes it easy to pull open the spring retainer 202 to adjust the movement of the component 20.

[0056] Optionally, the spring retaining piece 202 is made of spring steel. The spring steel material gives the spring retaining piece 202 sufficient rebound force, thereby enabling the positioning part 2021 to cooperate with the positioning mating part.

[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, there are multiple positioning mating parts, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the movement direction of the lifting ring 201.

[0058] The chassis support assembly of this disclosure has multiple positioning mating parts, which facilitates the positioning part 2021 to cooperate with different positioning mating parts, thus enabling the lifting ring 201 to be fixed at different positions.

[0059] Optionally, when there are multiple positioning mating parts, each positioning mating part includes a slot 103, and the multiple slots 103 are respectively provided with scales.

[0060] The chassis support assembly of this embodiment has multiple slots 103 with corresponding scales. When adjusting the position of the hoisting hole 2011, the corresponding slot 103 can be selected according to the scale of the slot 103, thereby improving the efficiency of hoisting work.

[0061] Optionally, when there are multiple positioning mating parts, there are multiple slots 103, and the multiple slots 103 are arranged sequentially and evenly at intervals along the movement direction of the lifting ring 201. This facilitates the setting of the slots 103 and also facilitates the setting of the scale.

[0062] Optionally, when there are multiple positioning mating parts, there are multiple slots 103, and the multiple slots 103 are arranged at uneven intervals along the movement direction of the lifting ring 201. This allows the position of the slots 103 to be set according to the weight, size, etc. of the device to be lifted, improving the convenience of lifting.

[0063] Optionally, the spacing between adjacent card slots 103 is 4mm-6mm.

[0064] When the distance between adjacent slots 103 in the chassis support assembly of this embodiment is less than 4mm, the distance is too small, resulting in low support strength and hindering the movement of the lifting ring 201 and the engagement of the spring locking piece 202. When the distance between adjacent slots 103 is greater than 6mm, the distance is too large, leading to inaccurate adjustment of the lifting hole 2011 and making it difficult to align the lifting hole 2011 with the center of gravity of the device to be lifted.

[0065] For example, the spacing between adjacent card slots 103 is 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, and 6mm. Preferably, the spacing between adjacent card slots 103 is 5mm.

[0066] Optionally, the spring-loaded locking piece 202 is detachably connected to the lifting ring 201.

[0067] In this embodiment, the spring locking piece 202 and the lifting ring 201 are detachably connected to facilitate the installation, disassembly and maintenance of the adjustment assembly 20.

[0068] Optionally, the spring locking piece 202 includes a first connecting part 2022, and the lifting ring 201 includes a first connecting mating part, wherein the first connecting part 2022 and the first connecting mating part are detachably connected.

[0069] For example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the spring retaining piece 202 and the lifting ring 201 are connected by a rivet 2023. Specifically, the first connecting part 2022 includes a first rivet hole, the first connecting mating part includes a second rivet hole, and the rivet 2023 passes through the first rivet hole and the second rivet hole to connect the spring retaining piece 202 and the lifting ring 201.

[0070] Optionally, the positioning part 2021 and the first connecting part 2022 are respectively located at both ends of the spring locking piece 202, so that one end of the spring locking piece 202 is fixed and the other end can be pulled open to facilitate the movement of the lifting ring 201. Specifically, the positioning part 2021 is located at the upper end of the spring locking piece 202, and the first connecting part 2022 is located at the lower end of the spring locking piece 202.

[0071] Optionally, the spring locking piece 202 is located above the lifting hole 2011, and the positioning part 2021 is located above the moving track 101, which facilitates the connection between the spring locking piece 202 and the chassis bracket 10.

[0072] It can be understood that the positioning part 2021 and the first connecting part 2022 can also be provided at other positions of the spring locking piece 202. Any setting method that facilitates the opening and rebound of the spring locking piece 202 is an optional embodiment of this application.

[0073] Optionally, such as Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the chassis support assembly also includes fasteners 2014. The chassis support 10 is also constructed with a plurality of first through holes 104. The lifting ring 201 is constructed with a second through hole 2012. When the lifting ring 201 moves to a preset position, the fasteners 2014 pass through the second through hole 2012 and the first through hole 104 in sequence to realize the connection between the lifting ring 201 and the chassis support 10.

[0074] Using the chassis support assembly of this embodiment, after the lifting ring 201 moves to a preset position, one end of the lifting ring 201 is connected to the chassis support 10 via a spring-loaded locking piece 202. The other end of the lifting ring 201 is connected to the chassis support 10 via a fastener 2014, a first through hole 104, and a second through hole 2012. This ensures a stable connection between the lifting ring 201 and the chassis support 10, thereby improving the stability and safety of the lifting operation.

[0075] Optionally, the second through hole 2012 and the spring locking piece 202 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the lifting hole 2011. Specifically, the second through hole 2012 is provided below the lifting hole 2011, and the spring locking piece 202 is provided above the lifting hole 2011, so that the lifting ring 201 can be fixed in the vertical direction.

[0076] It can be understood that the second through hole 2012 and the spring locking piece 202 can also be set at different positions of the lifting ring 201. The connection positions that can increase the connection stability between the lifting ring 201 and the chassis bracket 10 are all optional embodiments of this application.

[0077] Optionally, the first through hole 104 and the positioning mating part are respectively provided on opposite sides of the moving track 101 to facilitate the mating of the chassis bracket 10 with the lifting ring 201 and the spring locking piece 202.

[0078] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the moving track 101 extends horizontally, and the first through hole 104 and the positioning mating part are arranged vertically. Similarly, the second through hole 2012 and the spring locking piece 202 are arranged vertically.

[0079] Optionally, there may be multiple first through holes 104, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the movement direction of the lifting ring 201. This facilitates fixing the lifting ring 201 at different positions.

[0080] Optionally, the number of first through holes 104 and slots 103 are the same and correspond one-to-one. In this way, when the lifting ring 201 moves to the preset position, one end of the lifting ring 201 can be fixed by the spring locking piece 202, and the other end can be fixed by the first through hole 104 and the second through hole 2012, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the lifting ring 201 and the chassis bracket 10.

[0081] Optionally, the moving track 101 includes a lifting through hole 102, which extends through the chassis support 10 along the thickness direction. An adjusting bracket is movably disposed within the lifting through hole 102. The lifting tool 30 is adapted to pass through the lifting hole 2011 and the lifting through hole 102 to connect the lifting tool 30 to the chassis support 10.

[0082] In the chassis support assembly of this embodiment, the moving track 101 serves as a lifting through hole 102, which penetrates the chassis support 10 along its thickness direction. This connects the lifting hole 2011 with the lifting through hole 102, allowing the lifting tool 30 to pass through both the lifting hole 2011 and the lifting through hole 102 to connect with the chassis support 10. This improves the connection stability between the lifting strap and the chassis support 10. Furthermore, the lifting through hole 102 provides sufficient adjustment margin to accommodate adjustments to the position of the lifting hole 2011 under different centers of gravity of the devices to be lifted.

[0083] Optionally, there are two hoisting through holes 102, which are symmetrically arranged along the length of the chassis support 10. The number of adjustment components 20 is the same as that of the hoisting through holes 102 and they correspond one-to-one.

[0084] The chassis support assembly of this embodiment features two lifting through holes 102, providing two connection points between the lifting device and the chassis support 10. The two lifting through holes 102 are symmetrically arranged along the length of the chassis, which improves the stability of the lifting operation and facilitates the alignment of the lifting hole 2011 with the center of gravity.

[0085] For example, the chassis support 10 extends horizontally, and two lifting through holes 102 are symmetrically arranged horizontally.

[0086] Optionally, the chassis support 10 includes a first end and a second end, which are arranged along the length of the chassis support 10. The distance between the lifting through hole 102 and the first end is less than the distance between the lifting through hole 102 and the second end.

[0087] Optionally, the distance A between the end of the lifting through hole 102 facing the first end and the first end is in the range of 30mm≤A≤50mm.

[0088] In this embodiment, when the distance A between the end of the lifting through hole 102 facing the first end and the first end is less than 30mm, the distance between the end of the lifting through hole 102 facing the first end and the first end is too small, which will reduce the strength of the chassis support 10 and make it prone to breakage. When the distance A between the end of the lifting through hole 102 facing the first end and the first end is greater than 50mm, the distance between the end of the lifting through hole 102 facing the first end and the first end is too large, which will reduce the adjustable range of the lifting hole 2011 and make it difficult to achieve the matching between the lifting hole 2011 and the center of gravity of the device to be lifted.

[0089] For example, the distance A between the end of the lifting through hole 102 facing the first end and the first end can be 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, or 50mm.

[0090] Optionally, the two lifting through holes 102 include a first lifting through hole 1021 and a second lifting through hole 1022, and the first lifting through hole 1021 and the second lifting through hole 1022 are symmetrically arranged along the direction from the first end to the second end.

[0091] Optionally, the distance between the lifting through hole 102 and the upper and lower ends of the chassis support 10 is the same or similar. That is, the lifting through hole 102 is centered in the vertical direction. This ensures the vertical strength of the chassis support 10.

[0092] Optionally, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the total length of the chassis support 10 is L, and the length of the lifting through hole 102 is B = L / 4 - A. This ensures that the lifting through hole 102 has sufficient leeway to adjust the position of the lifting hole 2011 to meet different center of gravity requirements, while also ensuring the strength of the chassis support 10.

[0093] Optionally, the total height of the chassis support 10 is D, and the height of the hoisting through hole 102 is C = D / 2 ± 5 mm.

[0094] In this embodiment, the height of the hoisting through hole 102 is the same as or close to half of the total height of the chassis support 10. This ensures the strength of the chassis support 10 while providing sufficient height space to facilitate the movement of the adjustment component 20.

[0095] Optionally, such as Figure 7 As shown, the chassis support 10 includes a body, a first folded edge 105, and a second folded edge 106. The first folded edge 105 and the second folded edge 106 are respectively connected to the upper end and the lower end of the body. Both the first folded edge 105 and the second folded edge 106 extend along the thickness direction of the body, and the extension directions of the first folded edge 105 and the second folded edge 106 are the same. The body is provided with a hoisting through hole 102.

[0096] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the provision of the first folded edge 105 and the second folded edge 106 further increases the strength of the chassis support 10 and ensures the stability of the hoisting operation.

[0097] Optionally, the chassis bracket 10 is made of galvanized sheet metal and is formed using a mold. Optionally, the chassis bracket 10 is manufactured using a die-stamping and powder coating process.

[0098] Optionally, the lifting ring 201 is made of galvanized sheet and formed by die forming. Optionally, the lifting ring 201 is manufactured using die stamping and powder coating processes.

[0099] Optionally, the lifting through hole 102 is rectangular, and the lifting ring 201 is rectangular. This facilitates the movement of the lifting ring 201 within the lifting through hole 102.

[0100] Optionally, the lifting hole 2011 is an elongated oval hole. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the elongated oval lifting hole 2011 can accommodate various lifting methods, such as the assembly of lifting tools 30 such as lifting rods and lifting straps.

[0101] Optionally, such as Figure 9 As shown, the lifting ring 201 has a folded edge 2013. The folded edge 2013 is located on the outer edge of the lifting hole 2011 and extends along the thickness direction of the chassis support 10. The folded edge 2013 is located inside the lifting through hole 102. When the lifting tool 30 is engaged with the lifting hole 2011, the lifting tool 30 abuts against the folded edge 2013.

[0102] In this embodiment, the folded edge 2013 serves to increase the stress resistance between the lifting tool 30 and the lifting hole 2011 and to increase the contact area, thereby avoiding the risk of cutting the lifting tool such as the lifting rod or lifting belt due to localized stress.

[0103] Optionally, the folded edge 2013 extends circumferentially along the lifting hole 2011, which can increase the stress strength and contact area in the circumferential direction and avoid the risk of cutting in the circumferential direction.

[0104] Optionally, the length of the folded edge 2013 ranges from 8mm to 15mm.

[0105] In this embodiment, the length of the folded edge 2013 is less than 8mm. The relatively short length of the folded edge 2013 has little effect on increasing the contact area and stress strength, and there is still a risk of cutting. If the length of the folded edge 2013 is greater than 15mm, the length is too large, increasing manufacturing difficulty and cost, and the effect on increasing stress strength is not significant.

[0106] For example, the length of the folded edge 2013 can be 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, etc.

[0107] Optionally, such as Figure 6 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the adjustment assembly 20 also includes a guide bracket 203, which is a hollow structure. The guide bracket 203 and the lifting ring 201 are respectively located on both sides of the chassis bracket 10, that is, the lifting through hole 102. The guide bracket 203 and the lifting ring 201 form a sliding groove, and the inner wall of the lifting through hole 102 is located in the sliding groove. When the lifting ring 201 moves along the lifting through hole 102, the sliding groove slides along the inner wall of the lifting through hole 102.

[0108] In the chassis support assembly of this embodiment, the guide bracket 203 and the lifting ring 201 are respectively disposed on both sides of the lifting through hole 102, and the guide bracket 203 and the lifting ring 201 form a sliding groove. This allows the lifting ring 201 to slide along the inner wall of the lifting through hole 102 as it slides within the hole. This makes the movement of the lifting ring 201 more stable and reliable, preventing it from falling out of the lifting through hole 102 and providing strong support for lifting.

[0109] Optionally, the guide bracket 203 includes an outer connecting plate 2031 and an inner connecting plate 2032 connected together. The outer diameter of the outer connecting plate 2031 is larger than that of the inner connecting plate 2032. When the guide bracket 203 is connected to the lifting ring 201, the inner connecting plate 2032 forms the bottom wall of the groove, and the outer connecting plate 2031 and the lifting ring 201 form the side wall of the groove. This groove allows the lifting ring 201 to slide within the lifting through hole 102.

[0110] Optionally, the guide bracket 203 has a rectangular cross-section and the slide groove has a rectangular cross-section, which facilitates the circumferential fit between the slide groove and the rectangular lifting through hole 102, thus achieving efficient degree of freedom.

[0111] Optionally, the guide bracket 203 includes multiple connecting segments that are detachably connected, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the guide bracket 203.

[0112] For example, such as Figure 12 As shown, the guide bracket 203 includes two U-shaped connecting sections, which are joined together to form a rectangular guide bracket 203. Optionally, adjacent connecting sections are connected by screws or clips.

[0113] Optionally, such as Figure 13 As shown, the height H1 of the inner connecting plate 2032 is C-2mm. This allows the inner connecting plate 2032 to be located within the lifting through hole 102, and facilitates the fit between the inner wall of the lifting through hole 102 and the sliding groove.

[0114] Optionally, the height H2 of the outer connecting plate 2031 is H1 + 10mm. In this way, the outer connecting plate 2031 can be attached to one side of the chassis bracket 10 to play a guiding role, while preventing the guide bracket 203 and the lifting ring 201 from falling off.

[0115] Optionally, the guide bracket 203 and the lifting ring 201 are detachably connected. Specifically, the guide bracket 203 and the lifting ring 201 are detachably connected by screws.

[0116] In practical applications, the assembly sequence of the chassis bracket 10 is as follows:

[0117] a: The spring clip 202 and the lifting ring 201 are riveted together. The lifting ring 201 passes through the lifting through hole 102 of the chassis bracket 10 and the guide bracket 203 and the lifting ring 201 are fixed and tightened with screws. At this time, the surface of the chassis bracket 10 with the lifting through hole 102 is sandwiched between the lifting ring 201 and the guide bracket 203, serving as the intermediate base surface.

[0118] b: When it is necessary to move and adjust the lifting ring 201, firstly, use your fingers to pull the front end of the spring locking piece 202 out of the scale groove of the chassis bracket 10. Then, move it left and right along the extension direction of the lifting through hole 102 of the guide bracket 203. When the position is adjusted and confirmed, release the spring locking piece 202. Under the action of the elastic deformation force of the spring locking piece 202 itself, the front end of the spring locking piece 202 will be inserted into the corresponding scale groove 103, thus completing the pre-positioning operation of the lifting ring 201. Then, use screws to fix the lifting ring 201 and the chassis bracket 10.

[0119] c: During the production process of the hoisting device, the position of the hoisting ring 201 corresponding to different models and weights is determined in advance through analysis or experimentation. Then, the hoisting device is fixed according to the specific scale corresponding to the specific model, and the operation of the hoisting device can be completed.
