Detailed Implementation
[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0029] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a bolster assembly for a transfer machine, including a chest support base plate 11 and a rotating bolster plate 12 hinged to both ends of the chest support base plate 11. The two ends of the chest support base plate 11 are fixed with hinge seats 112, and the mounting part 122 at the end of the rotating bolster plate 12 is connected to the hinge seat 112 through a hinge shaft 123.
[0030] Two sliding push plates 13 are slidably arranged on one side of the chest rest base plate 11, and the two sliding push plates 13 are horizontally arranged on the chest rest base plate 11.
[0031] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Both sliding push plates 13 are provided with through holes 131, and the chest rest base plate 11 is provided with a sliding groove 111. A sliding rod 15 is fixed in the through hole 131. One end of the sliding rod 15 extends out of the through hole 131 and into the sliding groove 111 and can slide in the sliding groove 111.
[0032] Each sliding push plate 13 has two through holes 131, and the chest rest base plate 11 has four sliding grooves 111, two at the top and two at the bottom (see reference). Figure 7 In this embodiment, the sliding rod 15 is a screw, which is fixed in the through hole 131 by a nut. The other end of the sliding rod 15 enters the slide groove 111 and extends out of the slide groove 111. Its end is also fixed with a nut, so as to realize the stable sliding of the sliding push plate 13 on the chest base plate 11.
[0033] A power mechanism is fixedly installed on the base plate 11 of the chest rest. The power mechanism drives two sliding push plates 13 to move closer or further apart, causing the ends of the sliding push plates 13 to move away from or contact the rotating arm plate 12. (Refer to...) Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The power mechanism includes a motor 161, two racks 162 and a gear 163. The motor 161 is fixed to the chest base plate 11 by a mounting plate 16. There is a gap between the two sliding push plates 13. The two racks 162 are respectively fixed on the two sliding push plates 13. The gear 163 is connected and fixed to the output end of the motor 161. The gear 163 is located between the two racks 162 and meshes with the two racks 162.
[0034] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 16 and the power mechanism are located on the side of the chest rest base plate 11 near the rotating armrest plate 12. The mounting plate 16 is located between the motor 161 and the rack 162. The mounting plate 16 is fixed to the chest rest base plate 11 by bolts. The output end of the motor 161 passes through the mounting plate 16 and a gear 163 is fixed at its end. The two racks 162 are arranged horizontally up and down.
[0035] The rack 162 is fixed to the side of the sliding push plate 13 near the chest rest base plate 11. The sliding rod 15 passes through the sliding push plate 13 and the rack 162 in sequence and then extends into the slide groove 111. The other side of the rack 162 contacts the chest rest base plate 11.
[0036] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A limiting plate 7 is fixed to the side of the mounting plate 16 near the rack 162. The limiting plate 7 has limiting portions at both its upper and lower ends. The longitudinal section of the limiting plate 7 is a transverse "U" shape, with the rack 162 located between the two limiting portions. The upper limiting portion of the limiting plate 7 contacts the upper side of the rack 162 located above, and the lower limiting portion of the limiting plate 7 contacts the lower side of the rack 162 located below. The limiting plate 7 cooperates with the sliding rod 15 to ensure the stable sliding of the sliding push plate 13.
[0037] refer to Figure 3 The rotating armrest plate 12 is equipped with a spring 14, one end of which is connected to the chest rest base plate 11. Specifically, both the chest rest base plate 11 and the rotating armrest plate 12 are fixed with support columns 17, and support columns 17 are provided on both sides of the rotating armrest plate 12. The ends of the springs 14 are fixed to the support columns 17. The springs 14 pull the rotating armrest plate 12 to the retracted position (e.g., Figure 2 (This prevents it from opening when not in use.)
[0038] In this embodiment, when the motor 161 starts, it drives the gear 163 to rotate, which in turn drives the rack 162 to move away from each other. When it reaches the appropriate position, the motor 161 stops working, and its output shaft will not continue to rotate, so that the rack 162 can always stay in this appropriate position. This motor 161 can be made using existing technology, so it will not be described in detail.
[0039] To ensure the stable rotation of the rotating arm plate 12, an abutment portion 121 is provided on the side of the rotating arm plate 12 near the chest-bottom plate 11 (e.g., Figure 8A silent wheel 18 is rotatably mounted on one end of the sliding push plate 13 near the rotating arm plate 12. The silent wheel 18 contacts the abutment portion 121 of the rotating arm plate 12 when the two sliding push plates 13 move away from each other. A connector 133 is fixed to each of the two sliding push plates 13 at their far ends, and a silent wheel 18 is rotatably mounted on the connector 133. The silent wheel 18 is made of PU polyurethane material, which effectively reduces noise.
[0040] The two rotating arm plates 12 are located on the same side of the chest-support base plate 11 and are on the same horizontal line. One end of the upper sliding push plate 13 is on the same horizontal line as the other rotating arm plate 12. The lower sliding push plate 13 has an extension 132 on one end, which is on the same horizontal line as the other rotating arm plate 12. To ensure that the lower sliding push plate 13 can contact the abutment part 121 on the rotating arm plate 12, an upwardly extending extension 132 is provided on one end of the lower sliding push plate 13. The extension 132 is fixed with a connector 133. A preset gap is provided between the extension 132 of the lower sliding push plate 13 and one end of the upper sliding push plate 13 to avoid positional interference when they are close to each other.
[0041] A chest cushion 19 is provided on the side of the chest support base plate 11 near the rotating armrest plate 12. The chest cushion 19 is used for the human chest to rest against, covering the other parts on the chest support base plate 11.
[0042] A handrail 4 is fixed to one side of the chest rest base plate 11, and the handrail 4 is located on the side of the chest rest base plate 11 away from the rotating armrest plate 12.
[0043] In use, the gear 163 fixed on the output shaft of the motor 161 drives the two racks 162 to move away from each other, thereby causing the sliding rod 15 on the sliding push plate 13 to slide in the slide groove 111. At this time, the silent wheel 18 on the end connector 133 of the sliding push plate 13 contacts the side of the abutment part 121, thereby causing the rotating arm plate 12 hinged to both ends of the chest rest base plate 11 to open outward. After opening to a certain angle, the motor 161 is turned off, and the rotating arm plate 12 remains in this position. In this state, the output shaft of the motor 161 no longer rotates, and the spring 14 pulls the rotating arm plate 12 to prevent it from opening outward again, thus completing the opening of the rotating arm plate 12. This allows for a more convenient unfolding angle, accommodating more users.
[0044] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the patent claims of this utility model should be included within the scope of the patent application of this utility model.
