Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for cleaning car seat covers, and specifically relates to a support device for cleaning car seat covers. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the continuous increase in car ownership, car owners are paying more attention to the cleanliness of their vehicle interiors. As car seat covers come into direct contact with occupants, their regular removal and cleaning have become particularly important. Common methods for cleaning car seat covers involve removing them and manually shaking or using cleaning equipment to scrub their surface. However, seat covers typically consist of two main parts: the backrest and the seat cushion, which differ in size and shape. Current cleaning processes lack specialized support devices to effectively unfold and secure the seat covers in different areas. In actual cleaning, the backrest or seat cushion is often difficult to unfold flat, resulting in wrinkles and stacking, leading to incomplete cleaning or difficulty in cleaning certain areas, thus affecting cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0003] Furthermore, existing cleaning support devices generally have a simple structure, capable of supporting only a single part of the seat cover. They cannot flexibly position and unfold the cover to accommodate the structural differences between the backrest and seat cushion. While some devices offer some support, they are poorly adaptable to different seat cover sizes, failing to effectively position multi-sized seat covers. At the same time, existing equipment generally lacks auxiliary unfolding mechanisms, often preventing the seat cover from being fully flattened on the support, making it difficult to cover certain areas. Moreover, traditional devices do not provide convenient flipping or rotating assistance for the need to clean both sides of the seat cover alternately, increasing the difficulty and labor intensity of operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a support device for cleaning car seat covers. This device can adapt to seat covers of different sizes and locations, and has efficient positioning and assisted unfolding functions. It solves the specific problems existing in the prior art during the seat cover cleaning process, such as inconvenient positioning, uneven unfolding, poor adaptability, and inconvenient flipping operation, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of seat cover cleaning.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A support device for cleaning car seat covers includes a U-shaped side frame, a support base, and a U-shaped base frame. The side frame is detachably fixed to the upper left side of the support base, and the base frame is detachably fixed to the right side of the support base. Several inflatable airbags are installed on the inner sides of both the side frame and the base frame.

[0007] A base is provided on the lower side of the support seat, and a turntable that can rotate horizontally is installed on the upper side of the base. The support seat is installed on the turntable, and the support seat can be adjusted to rotate vertically.

[0008] A diversion pipe is fixedly installed at the center of the turntable. The upper end of the diversion pipe is connected to a first connecting pipe and a second connecting pipe. The first connecting pipe is connected to several airbags on the side frame, and the second connecting pipe is connected to several airbags on the base frame. An air supply connector that is rotatably connected to the diversion pipe is fixed on the lower side of the base. The air supply connector is connected to an air pump through a pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, a first fixing sleeve is fixed on the upper side of the support base to insert the two ends of the side frame, and a second fixing sleeve is fixed on the right side of the support base to insert the two ends of the base frame.

[0010] Furthermore, two support plates are fixed to the lower side of the support base, and a rotating plate corresponding to the two support plates is fixed to the upper surface of the turntable. The rotating plate and the support plate are fixedly connected by a damping shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is fixed at the center of the lower surface of the turntable, and a through mounting hole is opened at the center of the rotating shaft for installing the distributor pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, an air intake connector is fixed to the side of the airbag, and both ends of the airbag are fixed with retainers, the cross-sectional shape of which is a large semi-circle.

[0013] Furthermore, several fixed feet are fixed on the outer side of the base, and a support sleeve is fixed on the upper center of the base, with a bearing fixed on the inner side of the support sleeve.

[0014] Furthermore, the gas supply connector includes a square tube and a fixing bracket fixed to the lower surface of the base. The square tube is fixed to the fixing bracket, and one end of the square tube is fixed with a gas inlet pipe. The lower end of the diversion pipe is inserted into the inside of the square tube.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] The device employs a U-shaped side frame and base frame structure, combined with detachable support seats for zoned support, effectively solving the problem that existing seat cover cleaning processes cannot separately position and unfold the backrest and seat cushion parts. Through the detachable structure and multi-point support design, the device's adaptability to different vehicle models and seat covers of different sizes is improved, making the cleaning operation more efficient and standardized. It avoids cleaning dead spots caused by local wrinkles and accumulation of seat covers, and improves the coverage and quality of seat cover cleaning.

[0017] Employing multiple sets of airbags and a precise air supply system, the system evenly distributes airbags on the inner sides and base of the frame, and allows for independent expansion via air pumps and distribution pipelines, achieving efficient and uniform expansion of the seat covers. The airbag structure can flexibly adjust the expansion range according to the shape and size of different seat covers, overcoming the problems of existing equipment having single positioning support and being unable to adapt to multiple sizes of seat covers. This ensures the flatness and tension of the seat cover surface during cleaning operations, providing ideal conditions for subsequent deep cleaning processes such as brushing or spraying.

[0018] The system features a rotating turntable and a damping shaft, enabling bidirectional adjustment of the horizontal and vertical angles of the support structure. This significantly improves operational flexibility and safety during seat cover cleaning. Users can easily adjust the orientation and angle of the seat covers according to their needs, facilitating cleaning operations on both sides and in different locations. This avoids inefficiencies and blind spots caused by tedious manual operations such as flipping and rotating, simplifying the process, reducing labor intensity, and improving overall cleaning efficiency.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, two support plates 43 are fixed to the lower side of the support base 4. The support plates 43 are reinforced by thickened stiffeners to improve load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance. A rotating plate 71 corresponding to the two support plates 43 is fixed to the upper surface of the turntable 7. The two ends of the rotating plate 71 are fixedly connected to the support plates 43 through a damping shaft 44. The damping shaft 44 is equipped with high-performance damping material, which can provide moderate damping force, making the rotation of the support base 4 in the vertical direction more stable and less prone to shaking. This effectively prevents the structure from loosening or shifting due to the force on the seat cover during use, and improves the overall structural safety and the smoothness of cleaning operations.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, a rotating shaft 72 is fixed at the center of the lower surface of the turntable 7. The rotating shaft 72 is made of high-strength wear-resistant metal material to ensure durability and reliability during long-term rotation.

[0034] like Figure 5As shown, several fixed feet 81 are fixed on the outer side of the base 8. The fixed feet 81 adopt an anti-slip rubber pad structure, which can effectively enhance the anti-slip performance and safety of the whole device on the ground. A support sleeve 82 is fixed at the upper center of the base 8. A high-precision bearing 83 is precisely embedded in the inner side of the support sleeve 82. The bearing 83 can provide low friction and wear-resistant support for the rotation of the rotating shaft 72, ensuring that the turntable 7 and all the structures above it can rotate smoothly and stably during operation, improving the user experience and the life of the device.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, the air supply connector 9 includes a square tube 91 and a fixing bracket 92 fixed to the lower surface of the base 8. The fixing bracket 92 is reinforced with metal to ensure the stable installation of the square tube 91. The square tube 91 achieves lateral limitation and support through a tight fit with the fixing bracket 92, ensuring the sealing and firmness of the air supply pipeline.

Example

[0036] See Figures 1-6 In this embodiment, a support device for cleaning car seat covers, through its integrated modular design, can adapt to various car models and seat covers of various sizes. When using the device, first place the base 8 horizontally on a solid ground, and adjust the fixed feet 81 on the base 8 to ensure the device remains stable and wobble-free on the ground. A support sleeve 82 is installed at the center of the upper part of the base 8, and a high-precision bearing 83 is embedded within the support sleeve 82 to provide rotational support for the central rotating shaft 72. The bearing 83 effectively reduces rotational resistance, improving the smoothness and durability of the overall operation.

[0037] Users can choose whether to clean only the backrest, seat cushion, or both, depending on their cleaning needs. If cleaning the backrest is required, first insert and fix the U-shaped side frame 1 to the upper left side of the support base 4, securing it firmly with the first fixing sleeve 41; then insert the base frame 6 to the right side of the support base 4, completing the installation with the second fixing sleeve 42. After assembly, the backrest portion of the seat cover is placed over the outer edge of the side frame 1, allowing it to hang naturally; the airbags 2 are evenly distributed on the inner side of the side frame 1 and securely fastened to the edge of the side frame 1 with clips 22; each airbag 2 has an air inlet connector 21 on its side, which is connected to the diversion pipe 10 via the first connecting pipe 3. The bottom end of the diversion pipe 10 is inserted into the inner side of the square pipe 91 and connected to the air pump via the air supply connector 9.

[0038] The air pump is started, and compressed gas is input into the square pipe 91 through the air inlet pipe 93. The gas is then diverted to the first connecting pipe 3 via the diverter pipe 10, and subsequently delivered to each airbag 2. The airbag 2 gradually inflates, pushing the seat cover cushions to unfold evenly, thus adapting and securing seat covers of different sizes. The support base 4 is mounted on the turntable 7, which can rotate horizontally around the pivot 72. Users can adjust the orientation of the seat cover cushions by rotating the turntable 7 according to cleaning needs, easily completing cleaning on both sides or at different angles. If angle adjustment is required, the support base 4 can be rotated vertically via the damping pivot 44. The damping pivot 44 provides a certain damping force to prevent sudden angle changes during operation, improving safety and user experience.

[0039] When cleaning the seat cushion is required, the support base 4 can be rotated via the turntable 7 to bring the side frame 1 to a horizontal position, thereby bringing the base frame 6 to a vertical position. The seat cushion portion of the seat cover is then placed over the outer edge of the base frame 6, ensuring that all airbags 2 are securely fastened to the edge of the base frame 6 using the clips 22. At this point, the user controls the air supply via the second connecting pipe 5, inputting air into each airbag 2 on the base frame 6. After the airbags 2 are evenly inflated, the seat cushion portion of the seat cover is fully expanded, preventing wrinkles and creating ideal conditions for cleaning.

[0040] The base 8 of the entire device is constructed with a thickened steel plate welded structure, and the outer surface is coated with a corrosion-resistant coating to ensure long-term stable use. The turntable 7 has an anti-slip surface to enhance the feel during operation. All connecting parts adopt a quick-connect plug-in structure for easy daily disassembly and maintenance. The air circuit system uses pressure-resistant hoses and high-seal quick-connect fittings to improve the efficiency and safety of gas transmission. The device has a wide range of applications and is compatible with the cleaning of seat covers in most passenger cars, SUVs, and MPVs on the market. It is particularly suitable for the efficient assembly line cleaning processes of professional car detailing, seat cover manufacturing companies, and large car wash chains.

[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When cleaning the seat cover, the cushion part of the seat cover is placed on the side frame 1 to complete the positioning during cleaning. At this time, the air pump is controlled to pump air into the square tube 91, and the square tube 91 pumps air into the airbag 2 on the side frame 1 through the diversion tube 10 and the first connecting tube 3, so that the airbag 2 expands and the cushion part of the seat cover is evenly unfolded. This can meet the positioning and even unfolding of the cushion part of seat covers of different sizes, and then cleaning can be carried out. When cleaning the other side of the cushion part of the seat cover, the rotation of the turntable 7 can be used to clean the other side, thereby completing the cleaning of the cushion part of the seat cover.

[0042] When cleaning the seat cushion of the seat cover, the support seat 4 can be rotated using the damping pivot 44 to make the side frame 1 horizontal and the base frame 6 vertical. Then, the seat cushion of the seat cover is put on the base frame 6. At this time, the air pump is controlled to pump air into the square tube 91, and the square tube 91 pumps air into the airbag 2 on the base frame 6 through the diverter tube 10 and the second connecting tube 5, so that the airbag 2 expands and the seat cushion of the seat cover is evenly unfolded. At this time, the seat cushion of the seat cover can be cleaned.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
