Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment relates to a handrail lifting mechanism, including an outer sleeve 1 for connecting to the side of the tray, a handrail tube 3 that is lifted and disposed within the outer sleeve 1, and a handrail body 4 disposed at the upper end of the handrail tube 3. The inner side of the outer tube 1 is directly or indirectly provided with a gear adjustment groove 20. The gear adjustment groove 20 includes a sliding groove 21 arranged along the length of the tube body, and a plurality of gear grooves 22 communicating with the sliding groove 21 and along the direction of the sliding groove 21. A guide slope 23 pointing upward to the sliding groove 21 is constructed above the gear groove 22. An installation groove 30 is constructed on the side wall of the handrail tube 3. A gear component 41 and a gear spring 42 acting on the gear component 41 are embedded in the installation groove 30. A gear block 411 is provided on the side of the gear component 41. When the handrail tube 3 is installed in the outer tube 1, the gear block 411 extends into the gear adjustment groove 20, and the gear spring 42 is used to press the gear block 411 on the gear component 41 into the gear groove 22.

[0030] The handrail lifting mechanism includes a handrail body 4, a handrail tube 3, and an outer sleeve 1. The handrail body 4 is located at the upper end of the handrail tube 3, and the handrail tube 3 is lifted and lowered inside the outer sleeve 1. In a specific design, a gear adjustment groove 20 is directly or indirectly constructed on the inner side of the outer sleeve 1. Direct construction means that the gear adjustment groove 20 is opened on the inner wall of the outer sleeve 1, while indirect construction can be achieved through the inner sleeve 2 described below. Furthermore, a stop component 41 and a stop spring 42 are provided in the mounting groove 30 on the side wall of the handrail tube 3. When the handrail tube 3 is installed inside the outer sleeve 1, the stop block 411 on the stop component 41 is movably positioned in the stop adjustment groove 20. The stop block 411 can slide and adjust in the slide groove 21 and multiple stop grooves 22 of the stop adjustment groove 20. When the handrail is pulled up, the stop block 411 can exit the current stop groove 22 along the guide slope 23 and move to the upper slide groove 21. When the external force is removed, the stop spring 42 is used to press the stop block 411 on the stop component 41 against the stop groove 22. In this way, the handrail stop can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the handrail height.

[0031] In such Figure 2And 3 In the specific embodiment shown, the chute 21 further extends above the gear slot 22 at the top, which is communicated with the top end of the chute 21 through the guide slope 23; the catch hook 412 is arranged on the gear piece 41, and the hook slot 31 is built in the installation slot 30; when the gear block 411 moves to the top end of the chute 21, the catch hook 412 on the gear piece 41 is clamped into the hook slot 31, so that the gear piece 41 is fixed in the installation slot 30; at this time, the gear block 411 on the gear piece 41 is always in the chute 21, and the gear block 411 is not clamped into the gear slot 22, so that the handrail pipe body 3 and the handrail body 4 on it lack support and descend. When the gear block 411 is pressed against the bottom of the chute 21, the catch hook 412 on the gear piece 41 is detached from the hook slot 31, and the gear spring 42 is used to press the gear block 411 on the gear piece 41 towards the gear slot 22; at this time, the gear piece 41 is clamped into the gear slot 22 to support the handrail pipe body 3 and the handrail body 4 under the action of the spring, so that the height of the handrail can be adjusted step by step upwards.

[0032] As shown in Figure 4 And 6 As shown, the positioning column 413 is built on the gear piece 41, the movable end of the gear spring 42 is sleeved on the positioning column 413, and the other end of the gear spring 42 is pressed against the spring cavity side wall of the installation slot 30. The positioning column 413 on the gear piece 41 is used to pass through the positioning gear spring 42, so that the gear spring 42 is prevented from being detached from the gear piece 41.

[0033] As shown in Figure 7 In the specific embodiment shown, the installation slot 30 is provided with an adjustment area 32, and the hook slot 31 is located on the side of the adjustment area 32 close to the spring; when the gear block 411 is adjusted by sliding in the gear adjustment slot 20, the gear block 411 and the gear piece 41 around it are in the adjustment area 32.

[0034] As shown in Figures 2-5 As shown, the inner sleeve pipe 2 is embedded in the outer sleeve pipe 1, and the gear adjustment slot 20 is built on the side wall of the inner sleeve pipe 2. This scheme uses the inner sleeve pipe 2 to be provided with the gear adjustment slot 20, so that the inner sleeve pipe 2 can be assembled with the handrail pipe body 3 and the gear piece 41 and the gear spring 42 thereon in advance, and then installed in the outer sleeve pipe 1. In a specific embodiment, the gear adjustment slot 20 penetrates through the side wall of the inner sleeve pipe 2, the inner sleeve pipe 2 is provided with an inspection opening 25 above the gear adjustment slot 20, and the inspection opening 25 is detachably closed through the cover 26; the area of the inspection opening 25 is not less than the installation slot 30. Based on the inspection opening 25, the gear piece 41 and the gear spring 42 on the handrail pipe body 3 can be overhauled and debugged.

[0035] In addition, as shown in Figure 7 And 8As shown, the handrail pipe body 3 is provided with an annular groove 35 above and below the mounting groove 30, and a snap ring 5 is embedded in the annular groove 35; a plurality of outward protruding protrusions 52 are formed on the outer side wall of the snap ring 5; the protrusions 52 of the snap ring 5 exceed the groove of the annular groove 35 in the natural state. In the scheme, after the handrail pipe body 3 is installed in the inner sleeve pipe 2, the snap ring 5 embedded in the annular groove 35 can avoid the handrail pipe body 3 from being dislocated or separated from the inner sleeve pipe 2 due to the protrusions 52 arranged thereon, or the handrail pipe body 3 can be positioned in the inner sleeve pipe 2 based on the arrangement of the snap ring 5, so as to avoid problems such as loosening and abnormal sound. In a specific embodiment, a blocking wall 351 is formed in the annular groove 35, and a break 51 is formed on the snap ring 5; when the snap ring 5 is installed in the annular groove 35, the blocking wall 351 is in the break 51 of the snap ring 5, and there is a deformation gap between the end of the snap ring 5 and the blocking wall 351. When the handrail pipe body 3 is installed in the inner sleeve pipe 2, the deformation gap can be used for the snap ring 5 to be pressed and deformed and pressed in. Example 2

[0036] The second purpose of the utility model is to provide a seat comprising the handrail lifting mechanism described in example 1.
