[0029] The following combination Figures 1-4 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0030] This utility model discloses a manually unlockable movable traction seat. (Refer to...) Figures 1-4 The manually unlockable movable traction seat includes two rails 1 with serrated grooves. A chassis 2 is slidably installed between the two rails 1. A traction seat is installed on the top of the chassis 2. The traction seat includes a traction seat body (not shown in the figure) and two traction seat supports 3. One side of the traction seat support 3 is bolted to the chassis 2, and the other side of the traction seat support 3 is hooked to the outer edge of the rails 1 to ensure the stability of the chassis 2 during movement.

[0031] A telescopic component 4 is provided on the top surface of the chassis 2 along the direction perpendicular to the track 1. In this embodiment, the telescopic component 4 includes a cylinder 40 and a compression spring 41 sleeved on the piston rod of the cylinder 40. One end of the compression spring 41 is elastically supported on the cylinder body of the cylinder 40, and the other end of the compression spring 41 is elastically supported on the end of the piston rod of the cylinder 40. The compression spring 41 has the tendency to elastically drive the piston rod of the cylinder 40 to move out of the cylinder body. A detachable claw 5 is installed at the cylinder body end of the cylinder 40 and inserted into the serrated groove of the track 1. A detachable claw 5 is also installed at the end of the piston rod of the cylinder 40 and inserted into the serrated groove of the track 1. Two sets of guide blocks 50 for limiting the movement trajectory of the claw 5 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the chassis 2. The two guide blocks 50 in each set are located on the left and right sides of the claw 5.

[0032] The chassis 2 is provided with a drive mechanism 6 for manually driving the telescopic member 4 to extend and retract. The drive mechanism 6 includes an active tooth 60 and a driven tooth 61 rotatably mounted on the top surface of the chassis 2. The active tooth 60 and the driven tooth 61 mesh with each other. Two pawls 5 are respectively bolted with a movable beam 62 extending along the length of the telescopic member 4. The movable beam 62 is located above the telescopic member 4. The end of the movable beam 62 away from the pawls 5 is vertically fixed with a plug rod 620. The active tooth 60 and the driven tooth 61 are respectively fixed with a connecting rod 63. The end of the connecting rod 63 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 630. The plug rod 620 is inserted into the corresponding waist-shaped hole 630.

[0033] A second connecting rod 64 is also fixedly connected to the driving gear 60. The second connecting rod 64 and the first connecting rod 63 are on the same straight line. A pull rod 65 is hinged to the end of the second connecting rod 64 away from the driving gear 60. A handle 66 is fixedly connected to the end of the pull rod 65 away from the second connecting rod 64. By pulling the handle 66, the pull rod 65 and the second connecting rod 64 can be moved, thereby driving the driving gear 60 and the driven gear 61 to rotate and mesh. Then, the telescopic component 4 is retracted through the first connecting rod 63 and the moving beam 62, so that the pawl 5 is disengaged from the track 1. The position of the chassis 2 and the traction seat on it can then be adjusted.

[0034] The chassis 2 is also provided with a limiting mechanism 7 for restricting the movement of the tie rod 65. The limiting mechanism 7 includes a mounting plate 70 bolted to the top surface of the chassis 2. A first slotted seat 71 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting plate 70 near the second connecting rod 64, and a second slotted seat 72 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting plate 70 away from the second connecting rod 64. A retaining ring 73 is fitted and fixedly connected to the tie rod 65. A mounting base 74 is also fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting plate 70. A horizontally rotatable pressure plate 75 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 74. The pressure plate 75 is located above the tie rod 65 and is used to hold the tie rod 65.

[0035] Mounting base 74 is also rotatably connected to mounting shaft 76. Mounting shaft 76 is fitted with a vertically rotatable safety hook 77. The safety hook 77 is located above pressure plate 75 and is used to hook and fix pressure plate 75. Mounting shaft 76 is also fitted with torsion spring 78. One leg of torsion spring 78 is connected to mounting base 74, and the other leg of torsion spring 78 is connected to safety hook 77. Torsion spring 78 has an elastic tendency to drive safety hook 77 downward and press pressure plate 75.

[0036] The operating principle of this manually unlockable movable towing seat in this embodiment is as follows: When the towing vehicle needs to adjust the distance between the tractor and the trailer, the towing seat is unlocked to adjust its position. The operator first rotates the safety hook 77 upwards, then rotates the pressure plate 75 outwards to disengage the pressure plate 75 from the pull rod 65. Subsequently, the operator pulls the handle 66 outwards to engage the pull rod 65 into the second mounting bracket 72, with the retaining ring 73 positioned on the outside of the second mounting bracket 72. During this process, the driving gear 60 and the driven gear 61 rotate relative to each other, causing the cylinder 40 and the compression spring 41 to contract. The two claws 5 disengage from the track 1, allowing the chassis 2 to be moved and its position adjusted.

[0037] When it is necessary to lock the position of the traction seat, the operator moves the pull rod 65 out of the second clamping seat 72. Due to the elastic rebound force of the compression spring 41, the compression spring 41 extends elastically, and the driving tooth 60 and the driven tooth 61 rotate in opposite directions. The two claws 5 are respectively engaged in the corresponding rails 1. Then the pull rod 65 is engaged in the first clamping seat 71, and the pressure plate 75 is moved in the opposite direction to press the pressure plate 75 against the pull rod 65. The safety hook 77 is pressed against the pressure plate 75 through the torsion spring 78, so that the pull rod 65 cannot move, thereby completing the fixation of the chassis 2 position.

[0038] The movable traction seat of this utility model embodiment adds a manual unlocking function. The entire unlocking and locking process is achieved by manually pulling out and manually returning the lever 65. This can effectively solve the pneumatic system abnormality problem faced by the movable traction seat in the prior art, and avoid the situation of spending maintenance time and costs and affecting freight time and efficiency due to pneumatic system failure.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
