They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0019] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a lifting device for assisting in the transfer of seats from a finished seat trolley to a high-speed storage line. Specifically, it includes a column 1 installed on the front of the finished seat trolley 2, with the column mounted on the ground. A horizontally positioned rocker arm 3 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the column 1. A wire rope lifting assembly 4 is installed at the end of the rocker arm 3 away from the column, and a clamp 6 for gripping the seat 5 is provided at the lifting end of the wire rope lifting assembly 4. The clamp is connected to the seat on the finished seat trolley, and the clamp and seat are lifted and hoisted (moved up and down) by means of the wire rope lifting assembly. Finally, the rocker arm rotates (rotates in the horizontal plane) to transfer the seat to the high-speed storage line. This lifting device facilitates the transfer of seats on the finished seat trolley, improves operational convenience, reduces labor costs, effectively reduces the risk of seats falling during handling, and improves handling efficiency.

[0020] In this embodiment, the clamp 6 includes a vertically arranged clamp bracket 7. The clamp bracket 7 is a rectangular frame with an open front end and bottom. The front end of the clamp bracket 7 is provided with a backrest clamping plate 8 and a movable gripping piece 9 distributed vertically. The backrest clamping plate 8 is used to fit against the backrest of the seat 5. The movable gripping piece 9 is used to extend into the gap at the connection of the backrest of the seat 5. The movable gripping piece 9 is driven upward by a clamping drive. In use, the movable gripping piece is inserted into the gap at the connection of the backrest of the seat, and the clamping drive drives the movable gripping piece upward, so that the backrest clamping plate fits against the backrest of the seat, thereby fixing the seat.

[0021] In this embodiment, a horizontally arranged clamp base 10 is fixed to the bottom of the clamp bracket 7. The front end of the clamp base 10 is provided with a pair of left and right-distributed gripping and fixing plates 11 for inserting into the gap at the backrest connection of the seat 5. A movable gripping plate 9 is disposed between the pair of gripping and fixing plates 11. Normally, the pair of gripping and fixing plates are parallel to the movable gripping plate, and all three are used simultaneously to insert into the gap at the backrest connection of the seat. During operation, only the movable gripping plate tilts upwards. By setting a pair of gripping and fixing plates, the support effect on the seat during transfer is improved.

[0022] In this embodiment, a hinge shaft 12 is fixed to the rear end of the movable gripper 9. The hinge shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the front end of the clamp base 10 so that the movable gripper 9 and the clamp base 10 form a hinged engagement. An upward tilting drive plate 13 extending to the rear side is also fixed to the outer surface of the hinge shaft 12. The clamping drive member is connected to the upward tilting drive plate 13, and the clamping drive member drives the movable gripper 9 to tilt upward through the upward tilting drive plate 13. Specifically: the upward-tilting drive plate 13 and the movable gripper 9 are arranged in a V-shape, and the upper end of the upward-tilting drive plate 13 extends into the inside of the fixture bracket 7; the clamping drive component includes a clamping drive cylinder 14 vertically installed inside the fixture bracket 7, the upper end of the clamping drive cylinder 14 is hinged to the upper end of the inside of the fixture bracket 7, the cylinder rod of the clamping drive cylinder 14 extends downward and the end is hinged to the upward-tilting drive plate 13 through the hinge joint 15, when the cylinder rod of the clamping drive cylinder 14 extends or retracts, it can drive the movable gripper 9 to swing.

[0023] In this embodiment, the chair back clamping plate 8 is inclined with a higher front end and a lower rear end. A pair of connecting rods 16 distributed on the left and right are fixed to the back of the chair back clamping plate 8. The lower ends of the pair of connecting rods 16 are respectively hinged to the left and right sides of the clamp bracket 7. Furthermore, the left and right side walls of the clamp bracket 7 are provided with arc-shaped sliding grooves 17, and the lower ends of the pair of connecting rods 16 are provided with sliding guide rods 18. The sliding guide rods 18 extend into the corresponding arc-shaped sliding grooves 17 and slide in cooperation with the arc-shaped sliding grooves 17. It should be noted that the arc length of the arc-shaped sliding groove is relatively short. The sliding guide rods extending into the arc-shaped sliding grooves can guide the swing of the connecting rods, and the connecting rods can only swing within the range of the arc-shaped sliding grooves, with a small swing amplitude.

[0024] In this embodiment, in order to improve the limiting effect, limiting blocks 19 are fixed on the left and right outer sides of the clamp bracket 7, respectively. The limiting blocks 19 are located on the rear side of the connecting rod 16 on the same side and are used to limit the backward swing of the connecting rod 16.

[0025] In this embodiment, the left and right ends of the clamp bracket 7 are both fixed with lifting handles 20 for easy gripping, and the lifting handles extend to the rear. By providing two lifting handles on the clamp, it is convenient for the operator to hold, thereby facilitating the movement of the clamp and the seat.

[0026] In this embodiment, the wire rope lifting assembly includes a mounting frame 21, a lifting motor 22, a wire rope 23, and a drum 24. The mounting frame 21 is located at the lower part of the rocker arm 3 away from the column 1. The lifting motor 22 and the drum 24 are both mounted on the mounting frame 21. The output shaft of the lifting motor 22 is connected to the drum 24 to drive the drum to rotate. One end of the wire rope 23 is wound around the drum 24, and the other end of the wire rope 23 is connected to a lifting ring 25 mounted on a clamp. During operation, the lifting motor drives the drum to rotate, and the drum winds up or unwinds the wire rope. When the wire rope winds up or unwinds, it drives the clamp to move synchronously. When the clamp is connected to the seat, the seat moves up and down synchronously with the clamp. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the lifting motor, the switching of winding or unwinding the wire rope can be achieved, that is, controlling the up and down movement of the clamp.

[0027] In this embodiment, a rotary motor 26 for driving the rocker arm 3 to rotate around the column 1 is provided on the upper outer surface of the column 1. Specifically, a vertical rotating shaft (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the upper end of the column. The lower end of the vertical rotating shaft is connected to the rotary motor through a pair of gears. The rotary motor drives the vertical rotating shaft to rotate through a pair of gears. The upper end of the vertical rotating shaft extends out of the column and is connected to the rocker arm. When the vertical rotating shaft rotates, it drives the rocker arm to rotate synchronously.

[0028] In this embodiment, the lifting handle 20 is equipped with operating switches 27 for controlling the rotation of the rocker arm 3, the operation of the wire rope lifting assembly, and the operation of the clamping drive component. Specifically, there are multiple operating switches, such as switches for controlling the start and stop and forward and reverse rotation of the rotary motor, switches for controlling the start and stop and forward and reverse rotation of the lifting motor, and switches for controlling the extension or retraction of the clamping drive cylinder. By placing the operating switches above the lifting handle, operation is convenient, enabling rapid single-person operation and handling.

[0029] This lifting device, with its freely rotating and vertically moving clamps, is primarily a tool to assist in the installation and removal of car seats. Its design aims to reduce the force required during operation, improving work efficiency and reducing labor intensity. In use, the fixed and movable clamping plates are inserted into the gap at the seat back connection. When the seat back approaches the seat back clamping plate, the cylinder rod of the clamping drive cylinder extends downwards, driving the movable clamping plate upwards, causing the seat back clamping plate to align with the seat back, thus securing the seat. The wire rope lifting assembly then winds up the wire rope, pulling the clamps and seat upwards to lift the seat. Next, the rocker arm rotates, moving the seat to the storage speed line. The wire rope lifting assembly then releases the wire rope, causing the clamps and seat to descend, aligning the seat legs with the positioning holes on the carrier. Finally, the cylinder rod of the clamping drive cylinder retracts upwards, driving the movable clamping plate downwards to reset, separating the clamps from the seat.

[0030] This lifting device connects to seat clamps that rotate and move freely up and down. It is primarily a tool to assist in the installation or removal of car seats, aiming to reduce the force required during operation, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing labor intensity. The lifting device uses a rotary motor to power the swing arm, a lifting motor for raising and lowering the seat, and clamps for connecting to the seat. This invention controls the actions of each mechanism via operating switches, allowing for rapid, single-person operation and effectively reducing the risk of seats falling during transport while improving efficiency.

[0031] If this utility model discloses or relates to mutually fixedly connected parts or structural components, then, unless otherwise stated, a fixed connection can be understood as: a detachable fixed connection (e.g., using bolts or screws), or a non-detachable fixed connection (e.g., riveting, welding). Of course, mutually fixed connections can also be replaced by an integral structure (e.g., manufactured using a casting process) (except where it is obviously impossible to use an integral molding process).

[0032] In addition, unless otherwise stated, the terms used to indicate positional relationships or shapes in any of the technical solutions disclosed in this utility model above include states or shapes that are similar to, close to, or approximate with them.

[0033] Any component provided by this utility model can be assembled from multiple individual components, or it can be a single component manufactured by a one-piece molding process.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
