Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a locking structure, more specifically a seat quick locking structure. Background Art
[0002] Welfare chairs for people with limited mobility typically have a fixed connection between the seat portion and the retractable movable plate of the seat base, such as the structure described in the inventor's patent document CN202210706011.6. However, when the seat portion needs to be designed to be detachably connected to the movable plate of the seat base, four connection positions and four operations are generally required, which is time-consuming. Moreover, if the operation positions are exposed, it is not aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a quick connection structure that can be operated quickly and form a reliable and stable connection relationship. Utility Model Content

The four locking pins can be locked or unlocked synchronously, achieving a quick connection with reliable connection strength. The structure also allows for a quick, secure connection between the seat portion and the movable plate of the seat base. Furthermore, the recessed slot is located on the side, leaving it exposed and not detracting from the seat's appearance. Furthermore, a connecting portion with a locking lip is employed. When the locking pins are locked, a handle can be rotated to engage the lip within the slot, maintaining the locked state between the seat portion and the movable plate of the seat base and preventing loosening without external force.

As used in the specification of the embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model provides a seat quick lock structure for quickly connecting a seat 10 to a movable plate 21 of a vehicle seat base 20, wherein the movable plate 21 is provided with four lock holes 210 with notches 211; the quick lock structure is provided at the bottom of the seat 10, and includes four lock posts 30 rotatably connected to the bottom of the seat 10, the lock posts 30 are provided with a protrusion 31 with a profile smaller than the profile of the notches 211 and a transmission tooth portion 32; further includes a transition shaft 40 transmission-connected to the transmission tooth portions of the four lock posts 30; the transition shaft 40 is provided with a driven tooth portion 41, and an active tooth portion 42 transmission-connected to the four transmission tooth portions 32; further includes an active rack shaft 50 transmission-connected to the transition shaft 40; the outer end of the active rack shaft 50 is provided with an operating end 60. A slot 100 is provided on the side of the seat 10 to accommodate the operating end 60 and the operator's hand; when the operator pushes the active rack shaft 50 inward, the active rack shaft 50 drives the transition shaft 40 to rotate through the meshing relationship between the rack portion 51 and the driven tooth portion 41, and the active tooth portion 42 then drives the four lock columns 30 to rotate in the forward direction through the transmission belt 90 (it can also be a transmission chain in other embodiments), so that the protrusion 31 is away from the position of the notch 211, forming a locked state; when the operator pulls out the active rack shaft 50, it drives the four lock columns 30 to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the protrusion 31 corresponds to the position of the notch 211, and the seat 10 and the movable plate 21 can be quickly separated vertically.
[0038] More specifically, a sliding groove 109 is provided at the bottom of the seat 10 and is slidably connected to the driving rack shaft 50 .
[0039] More specifically, the operating end 60 is a handle ring 61 rotatably coupled to the outer end of the driving rack shaft 50 .
[0040] More specifically, a connecting portion 62 is provided at one end of the handle ring 61 close to the active rack shaft 50, and the connecting portion 62 is provided with a locking protrusion 63; the empty groove 100 is provided with a locking groove 101 corresponding to the locking protrusion 63; when the handle ring 61 is pushed to the innermost end, the handle ring 61 is rotated until the locking protrusion 63 is embedded in the locking groove 101, so that they are in a locked state.
[0041] More specifically, the transmission belt 90 is a synchronous belt. More specifically, the bottom of the seat 10 is further provided with three tensioning transmission wheels 19, respectively located between the two locking posts 30; and further comprising a tensioning shaft 18 for rotatably connecting the tensioning transmission wheels 19.
[0042] More specifically, at least one tensioning shaft 18 is adjustably fixedly coupled to the bottom of the seat 10 .
[0043] More specifically, if Figure 6 As shown, the bottom plate 13 at the bottom of the seat 10 is provided with four mounting holes 131 for mounting four locking posts 30 respectively; the protrusion 31 of the locking post is located at the lower end and protrudes from the bottom of the bottom plate 13; the transmission tooth portion 32 is located above the bottom plate 13.
[0044] This quick-lock mechanism is particularly suitable for chairs with casters. After the casters are installed (for detachable casters) or extended (for retractable casters), the locking post is rotated to a detachable position. The seat base is then operated to lower the movable plate, thereby detaching the seat from the movable plate and allowing the seat to be moved with the support of the casters. The caster structure of the chair is not shown in the above embodiment because it does not fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0045] In summary, the seat quick-lock structure of the present invention features an active rack shaft that, through a drive belt or chain, simultaneously drives four locking pins to rotate, moving the protrusion away from the notch, achieving a locked state. The four locking pins can be locked or unlocked synchronously, achieving a quick connection with reliable connection strength. This allows for a quick-lock connection between the seat portion and the movable plate of the seat base. Furthermore, the recessed slot is located on the side, leaving it exposed and not detracting from the seat's appearance. Furthermore, a connecting portion with a locking lip is employed. When the locking pins are locked, a handle can be rotated to engage the lip within the slot, maintaining the locked state between the seat portion and the movable plate of the seat base and preventing loosening without external force. Furthermore, three tensioning drive pulleys are employed to increase the wrap angle between the drive belt or chain and the transmission teeth, improving transmission efficiency. A tensioning shaft can also be designed to be adjustable and fixedly connected to the seat base to adjust the tension of the drive belt or chain.
[0046] The above examples are merely used to further illustrate the technical content of the present invention for easier understanding by the reader. However, they do not limit the implementation of the present invention to these examples. Any technical extension or reinvention based on the present invention is protected by the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the claims.
