Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of truck crane cab seat technology, and in particular to a seat suitable for truck crane cabs, which aims to improve the driver's comfort, safety and ease of operation under complex working conditions. Background Technology

[0002] The cab seat of a truck crane is a crucial component ensuring the operator's comfort, safety, and efficiency during long working hours. Existing cab seats are insufficiently adaptable to complex working conditions, especially when traveling on bumpy roads, where the seat sways significantly, and the head is prone to hitting the cab ceiling. Furthermore, the seat's shock absorption deteriorates rapidly after prolonged use, leading to lower back fatigue and a poor driving experience.

[0003] Patent application CN201921140723.6 discloses a rotating seat mechanism for a folding boom truck crane, including a seat fixedly mounted on a connecting frame. The connecting frame is connected to connecting rod I and connecting rod II, the other ends of which are movably connected to a mounting seat. The mounting seat is fixed to the front end of the turntable structure, and a drive cylinder is movably connected between the connecting frame and the mounting seat. The seat in this application is located at the lower front end of the turntable structure, providing good visibility and eliminating blind spots during operation, thus ensuring operational safety. During seat rotation, the direction remains constant, ensuring the operator can always observe the lifting point area, further improving operational safety. The low seat position facilitates operator access for climbing.

[0004] However, the seats in the aforementioned patented technologies lack shock absorption, fail to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, and do not provide any technological inspiration for solving existing problems. Therefore, a driver's cab seat that can effectively solve these problems is needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a driver's cab seat for a truck crane to solve the problems mentioned in the background art above:

[0006] (1) How to improve the comfort, safety and ease of operation of seats under complex working conditions by optimizing their design and structure.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A driver's cab seat for a truck crane;

[0009] Including the seat body and the shock absorption mechanism;

[0010] The seat body is mounted on the floor of the truck crane's cab via a shock-absorbing mechanism;

[0011] The shock absorption mechanism includes a lifting linkage frame and an airbag assembly.

The two ends of the second positioning shaft are respectively connected to the two sides of the cavity of the lower split base.

[0012] Two sets of linkage assemblies are located on both sides of the cavity of the upper split base and the cavity of the lower split base, respectively. The linkage assembly includes a first cross arm and a second cross arm. The middle part of the first cross arm is hinged to the middle part of the second cross arm. The upper end of the first cross arm is engaged with the first slide rail of the upper split base. The upper end of the first cross arm can reciprocate along the direction of the first slide rail. The upper end of the second cross arm is hinged to the first positioning shaft. The lower end of the second cross arm is engaged with the second slide rail of the lower split base. The lower end of the second cross arm can reciprocate along the direction of the second slide rail. The lower end of the first cross arm is hinged to the second positioning shaft.

[0013] The airbag assembly includes an upper support plate, a lower support plate, and a shock-absorbing airbag. The two ends of the upper support plate are fixedly connected to the upper part of the second cross arm of the two sets of connecting rod assemblies, respectively. The two ends of the lower support plate are fixedly connected to the lower part of the first cross arm of the two sets of connecting rod assemblies, respectively. The upper and lower ends of the shock-absorbing airbag are respectively bonded to the upper support plate and the lower support plate. The shock-absorbing airbag is supplied with air by an external independent air tank.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0015] Furthermore, the lifting linkage frame also includes a first sliding shaft and a second sliding shaft. The first sliding shaft is installed on the upper end of the first cross arm of the two sets of linkage assemblies. The two ends of the first sliding shaft extend outward from the two sides of the two sets of linkage assemblies respectively.

One end of the tension spring is connected to the middle of the locking plate, and the other end of the tension spring is connected to the hinge seat. The tension spring causes the locking plate to tend to move towards the limiting post.

[0021] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to the locking plate.

[0022] With this structure, the damping cylinders and airbags of the shock absorption mechanism work together to effectively filter high-frequency and low-frequency vibrations, ensuring driver comfort on bumpy roads and during high-frequency vibration operations. The locking assembly can lock the seat's damping travel at different positions to adapt to different working conditions. In harsh conditions, such as when driving over large potholes, the driver can operate the locking handle to the lowest position, placing the seat at its lowest travel to prevent the head from colliding with the cab roof and providing effective safety protection.

[0023] The beneficial technical effects of the operator's seat of this truck crane:

[0024] (1) The seats are made of aluminum alloy profiles and castings. The processing technology is mature, the weight is light, and the appearance is exquisite.

[0025] (2) The new type of airbag provides air pressure separately to ensure stable and long-lasting pressure; the damping cylinder is short but has high pressure, which can effectively filter vibration energy, so you will not feel tired or uncomfortable even if you drive for a long time.

[0026] (3) The specially designed locking components can lock the seat travel in different positions. The structure is sturdy and reliable, and the operation is simple and convenient. Even in harsh working conditions, it can provide effective safety protection for the driver. Attached Figure Description
