[0021] To address the technical problem that existing automotive seat mounting devices cannot meet the installation requirements on both sides, this application provides an automotive seat mounting device, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2The car seat assembly device includes a frame 1, a first connecting rod 2, a clamp mounting frame 3, a first drive source 4, and a clamp 5. One end of the first connecting rod 2 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1 around a first vertical center line, and the other end of the first connecting rod 2 is hinged to the clamp mounting frame 3 around a second vertical center line. The main body of the first drive source 4 is mounted on the clamp mounting frame 3, and its power output end is connected to the clamp 5. The first drive source 4 is configured to drive the clamp 5 to move linearly along a first horizontal direction. The clamp 5 is used to clamp the car seat 100.

[0022] Using the above technical solution, the side furthest from the device (i.e. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The assembly process of the car seat 100 (left side) is as follows: S1: Reference Figure 2 A set of car seats 100 is clamped by the clamp 5. Then, the first link 2 is rotated relative to the frame 1, and the clamp mounting bracket 3 is rotated relative to the first link 2, so that the clamp 5 is rotated to the outside of the vehicle body parking position, and the vehicle body is waited for to be in place. At this time, the clamp 5 is in the initial position. S2: Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 After the vehicle body reaches the vehicle body parking position, the first link 2 is rotated relative to the frame 1, and the clamp mounting frame 3 is rotated relative to the first link 2, so that the clamp 5 carrying the car seat 100 enters the vehicle body through the door frame of the vehicle body. At this time, the clamp 5 is in the first position. S3: Reference Figure 4 The first drive source 4 is started, and the clamp 5 carrying the car seat 100 is extended and pushed to the installation position of the car seat 100 by the first drive source 4. At this time, the clamp 5 is in the second position. S4: After the car seat 100 is delivered to the opposite side of the device, the operator on the opposite side removes the car seat 100 from the clamp 5, and then controls the first drive source 4 to start, and drives the carrying clamp 5 to retract to the first position through the first drive source 4. S5: Rotate the first link 2 relative to the frame 1, and at the same time rotate the fixture mounting bracket 3 relative to the first link 2, so that the fixture 5 is rotated to the outside of the vehicle body through the door frame, thus completing the assembly of the rear seat.

[0023] Using the above technical solution, the side closest to the device (i.e. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The assembly process of the car seat 100 (right side) is as follows: Steps S1 and S2 are the same as described above; S3': The operator removes the car seat 100 from the clamp 5, and then rotates the clamp mounting bracket 3 so that the clamp 5 can be rotated to the outside of the vehicle body through the door frame.

[0024] As described above, the car seat assembly device provided by the present invention can transport the rear car seat to the opposite side of the device for assembly, thus meeting the installation requirements of car seats on both sides.

[0025] As an optional embodiment, the first drive source 4 is a piston cylinder or an electric motor.

[0026] In the embodiment where the first drive source 4 is a piston cylinder, the piston cylinder can be any one of a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder body of the first drive source 4 is fixedly mounted on the fixture mounting frame 3, and the end of its piston rod is connected to the fixture 5.

[0027] In embodiments where the first drive source 4 is a motor, the body of the first drive source 4 is fixedly mounted on the fixture mounting frame 3, and its output shaft is connected to the fixture 5 through a transmission structure. The transmission structure can be a ball screw structure or a rack and pinion structure, which converts the torque output by the motor into linear driving force.

[0028] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the first drive source 4 is a cylinder. When the piston rod of the cylinder extends or retracts, the clamp 5 moves synchronously along the first horizontal direction. It can be understood that when the clamp mounting frame 3 rotates relative to the frame 1, the first horizontal direction also changes within a horizontal plane.

[0029] Continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the car seat assembly device further includes a guide assembly 6, which includes a guide rail 61 and a slider 62 slidably disposed on the guide rail 61. One of the guide rail 61 and the slider 62 is fixed to the clamp mounting bracket 3, and the other is fixed to the clamp 5. In this embodiment, the guide rail 61 is fixed to the clamp 5, and the slider 62 is fixed to the clamp mounting bracket 3. The guide assembly 6 can limit the movement trajectory of the clamp 5 on the clamp mounting bracket 3.

[0030] Reference Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments, the clamp mounting bracket 3 includes a first mounting rod 31 and a second mounting rod 32. The first mounting rod 31 is hinged to the first connecting rod 2, and the second mounting rod 32 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting rod 31 about a first horizontal centerline parallel to a first horizontal direction. The first drive source 4 and the clamp 5 are both mounted on the second mounting rod 32. This arrangement allows the clamp 5 to rotate relative to the first mounting rod 31 about the first horizontal centerline, facilitating the adjustment of the angle of the car seat 100.

[0031] Reference Figure 7Based on the above structure, the car seat mounting device also includes a second drive source 7, which is connected between the first mounting rod 31 and the second mounting rod 32. The second drive source 7 is configured to drive the second mounting rod 32 to rotate relative to the first mounting rod 31.

[0032] As an optional embodiment, the second drive source 7 is a piston cylinder or an electric motor.

[0033] In embodiments where the second drive source 7 is a piston cylinder, the automotive seat mounting device further includes a second connecting rod 10. Both ends of the second drive source 7 are hinged to the first mounting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 10, respectively. The end of the second connecting rod 10 furthest from the second drive source 7 is fixedly connected to the second mounting rod 32. When the piston rod of the second drive source 7 extends or retracts, the second connecting rod 10 drives the second mounting rod 32 to rotate relative to the first mounting rod 31 around a first horizontal centerline.

[0034] In the embodiment where the first drive source 4 is a motor, the body of the first drive source 4 is fixedly mounted on the first mounting rod 31, and its output shaft can be directly connected to the second mounting rod 32.

[0035] In this embodiment, the second driving source 7 is a cylinder.

[0036] In some embodiments, a first handrail 81 and an electrical control box 9 are provided on the first mounting rod 31. In some embodiments, a second handrail 82 is provided on the second mounting rod 32. In some embodiments, a third handrail 83 is provided on the clamp 5. The above technical solutions are designed to facilitate operators in adjusting the position and angle of the clamp 5 at any time.

[0037] In some embodiments, the clamp 5 includes a first gripper support 51 and a gripper assembly 52. ​​The first gripper support 51 is connected to the power output end of the first drive source 4, and the gripper assembly 52 is rotatably mounted on the first gripper support 51 about a third vertical center line. In this embodiment, the first gripper support 51 is fixedly connected to the guide rail 61 and connected to the piston rod end of the first drive source 4 (cylinder).

[0038] Reference Figure 8 In some embodiments, the gripper assembly 52 includes a second gripper support 521, a third gripper support 522, and two grippers. The second gripper support 521 is rotatably mounted on the first gripper support 51 about a third vertical center line, and the third gripper support 522 is rotatably mounted on the second gripper support 521 about a second horizontal center line. The second horizontal center line is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction, and both grippers are mounted on the third gripper support 522.

[0039] Thanks to the above technical solution, the angle of the two grippers can be adjusted at will, making the assembly operation more efficient and convenient.

[0040] Continue to refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the gripper assembly 52 further includes a third drive source 525 connected between the first gripper support 51 and the second gripper support 521, the third drive source 525 being configured to drive the second gripper support 521 to rotate relative to the first gripper support 51.

[0041] In this embodiment, the third drive source 525 is a rotary cylinder. In some other embodiments, the third drive source 525 may also be an electric motor.

[0042] In some embodiments, the gripper assembly 52 further includes a fourth drive source 526 connected between the third gripper support 522 and one of the grippers, the fourth drive source 526 being configured to drive the two grippers to open or close.

[0043] Specifically, the two grippers are a first gripper 523 and a second gripper 524. The first gripper 523 is configured to support the rear side of the car seat 100, and the second gripper 524 is configured to support the bottom of the car seat 100. The second gripper 524 is rotatably mounted on a third gripper support 522 around a third horizontal centerline, which is parallel to the second horizontal centerline (i.e., perpendicular to the first horizontal direction). The fourth drive source 526 is specifically a piston cylinder. The two ends of the fourth drive source 526 are respectively hinged to the third gripper support 522 and the second gripper 524. Thus, when the fourth drive source 526 extends or retracts, it drives the second gripper 524 to rotate around the third horizontal centerline relative to the third gripper support 522, causing the first gripper 523 and the second gripper 524 to cooperate in opening and closing.

[0044] Continue to refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the first gripper 523 is rotatable about a fourth horizontal centerline relative to the third gripper support 522, the fourth horizontal centerline being parallel to the third horizontal centerline; the gripper assembly 52 also includes a locking member 527 configured to lock and release the relative positions of the first gripper 523 and the third gripper support 522.

[0045] Specifically, the locking element 527 is a locking bolt, and the third gripper support 522 is provided with an arc-shaped hole extending around the fourth horizontal center line. The locking bolt passes through the arc-shaped hole and the first gripper 523 in sequence and is then locked by a nut. When it is necessary to adjust the opening angle of the first gripper 523 and the second gripper 524, the nut on the locking bolt is loosened. At this time, the first gripper 523 can be rotated relative to the third gripper support 522. After the adjustment is completed, the nut on the locking bolt is tightened. At this time, the first gripper 523 is fixed on the third gripper support 522.

[0046] In this embodiment, the side of the first gripper 523 that contacts the car seat 100 is flat, while the side of the second gripper 524 that contacts the car seat 100 is curved. This technical solution allows the two grippers to better conform to the shape of the car seat 100, thereby enabling the clamp 5 to grip the car seat 100 more stably and reliably.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
