The shock-absorbing spring 5 is disposed between the middle support member 2 and the upper seat support member 3, and the shock-absorbing spring 5 is fixedly connected to one of the middle support member 2 and the upper seat support member 3. That is to say, the shock-absorbing spring 5 is only fixedly connected to one of the middle support member 2 and the upper seat support member 3, and has no connection with the other. This ensures the normal rotation of the upper seat support member 3.

[0031] As can be seen from the structure described above, a shock-absorbing spring 5 is installed between the upper seat support member 3 and the middle support member 2, thereby playing a role in shock absorption and improving the driver's comfort during driving.

[0032] Furthermore, preferably, the shock-absorbing spring 5 is fixed to the upper surface of the middle support member 2, and the shock-absorbing spring 5 is not connected to the upper seat support member 3.

As described above, the supporting base plate 101 is used to mate with the target object, the supporting top plate 103 is used to support the middle supporting member 2, and the supporting tube 102 serves to support and raise the seat to meet the installation height requirements. Furthermore, the use of tubular components contributes to lightweight design. It should be noted that the structure of the lower supporting member 1 is not limited to this and can be designed according to actual needs.

[0038] Furthermore, preferably, along the vertical direction, the top support plate 103 is disposed above, the bottom support plate 101 is disposed below, and a plurality of support tubes 102 are disposed between the top support plate 103 and the bottom support plate 101.

As can be seen from the structure described above, the locking screw 41 is fixed on the support plate 21 of the middle support member 2. Therefore, the upper seat support member 3 can be fixed or released simply by turning the locking nut 42. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0042] Furthermore, preferably, the locking nut 42 is a wing nut, but of course, it is not limited to this.

[0043] It should be noted that the structure of the locking component 4 is not limited to the above. It can also adopt a combination structure of detachable bolts and nuts. That is to say, the bolts are not fixed to the middle support component 2, and the bolts are also detachable. The specific choice depends on the actual needs. In this embodiment, preferably, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the middle support member 2 and the lower support member 1 are detachably connected by the first fastening member 7, such as screws or bolts, which is a detachable structure that is easy to install and disassemble. In this embodiment, preferably, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the rotatable connection position between the upper seat support member 3 and the middle support member 2 and the locking member 4 are respectively located on both sides of the upper seat support member 3 along the first preset direction a; Along a direction perpendicular to the first preset direction a, shock-absorbing springs 5 ​​are provided on both sides of the locking member 4. As can be seen from the structure described above, the rotatable connection between the upper seat support member 3 and the middle support member 2, and the locking member 4 are respectively located on both sides. This effectively avoids these obstacles and makes the structure more harmonious. Shock-absorbing members are provided on both sides of the locking member 4 to improve the shock absorption effect. Of course, the rotatable connection between the seat support member and the middle support member 2, the arrangement of the locking member 4, and the arrangement of the shock-absorbing spring 5 are not limited to the above and can be designed according to actual needs.

[0044] Furthermore, preferably, the same number of damping springs 5 ​​are provided on both sides of the locking member 4. In this embodiment, a damping spring 5 is provided on both sides of the locking member 4, which can achieve uniform damping while reducing the number of parts. Of course, it is not limited to this.

[0045] Furthermore, preferably, the first preset direction a is the length direction of the support plate 21 of the middle support member 2. Of course, it is not limited to this, and can also be the width direction of the support plate 21 of the middle support member 2, depending on the actual needs.

[0046] In this embodiment, preferably, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the lower support member 1 is detachably connected to the target object by a second fastening member such as a screw or bolt, which is a detachable structure that is easy to install and disassemble. Furthermore, preferably, the lower support member 1 is provided with a mounting through hole 31 for mounting the second fastening member. In this embodiment, preferably, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the seat and the upper seat support member 3 are detachably connected by a third fastening member 8, such as screws or bolts (the third fastening member 8 is not shown in the figure), which is a detachable structure that facilitates installation and disassembly.
