[0070] The specific structure of an electric lift device will be described below.
[0071] As shown in
[0072] The electric lift device is operated as follows to assist users, such as the elderly or paralyzed patients who cannot stand by themselves, in shifting and standing during the rehabilitation process. The lifting column 300 is driven by the driving component 500 to descend relative to the rail 200, thereby lowering the seat assembly 400. Once the seat assembly 400 descends to the appropriate position (such as the lowest point), the user sits on the seat assembly 400. Then, the lifting column 300 is driven by the driving component 500 to ascend relative to the rail 200, thereby lifting the seat assembly 400. As a result, the user's center of gravity rises until the user approaches a standing posture or is able to stand independently. Subsequently, the user can lean on or push against the electric lift device to move, thus achieving the user's standing, walking, or rehabilitation training through the electric lift device. Moreover, in the prior art, the user tends to lean forward when sitting on the seat assembly 400, making it easy for them to fall off the seat assembly 400. However, in this application, the rail 200 is inclined at a preset angle relative to the support assembly 100 towards a side of the rail away from the seat assembly 400, and the lifting column 300 is coaxially sleeved on the rail 200, so the rail 200 and lifting column 300 of this present disclosure have a preset angle of backward inclination. When the user sits on the seat assembly 400, the forward-leaning tendency of the user can be counteracted or partially counteracted. Consequently, this prevents the user from falling forward from the seat assembly 400, making the electric lift device of this present disclosure safer and more reliable.
[0073] In the embodiment, the user refers to the occupant of the seat assembly 400.
[0074] In an embodiment, the driving component 500 is an electric push rod with a safe voltage of 24V and a thrust of 3000N. In the embodiment, the electric push rod is provided on the support assembly 100. The end of the electric push rod away from the support assembly 100 is connected to the lifting column 300, so the extension and retraction of the electric push rod can drive the lifting column 300 to ascend and descend.
[0075] In an embodiment, the number of the rail 200 is one or two; the number of the rail 200 is the same as the number of the lifting column 300; and the rail is in one-to-one correspondence with the lifting column 300. Specifically, referring to
[0076] In an embodiment, the preset angle ranges from 4-10 degrees. Specifically, the preset angle can be 5 or 6 degrees, with the best effect. If the preset angle is too small, it essentially renders no practical benefit, failing to counteract the user's forward-leaning tendency effectively. If the preset angle is too large, it also has an adverse effect, causing the user to lean back and even fall.
[0077] The double-rail structure offers better load-bearing capacity and stability compared to the single-rail structure. Specifically, the single-column structure has a lifting height of 500 mm and a load capacity of 400 LB, while the double-rail structure has a lifting height of 760 mm and a load capacity of 500 LB.

[0083] In an embodiment, the friction sleeve 600 is made of POM (polyoxymethylene).
[0084] Referring to
[0085] Specifically, both the first guide wheel 220 and the second guide wheel 310 are present in multiple quantities. In this embodiment, the numbers of the first guide wheel 220 and the second guide wheel 310 are both four. Four outer walls at one end of the rail 200 matched with the lifting column 300 are provided with four first openings 230, where the four first guide wheels 220 are rotatably installed. Similarly, four outer walls at one end of the lifting column 300 matched with the rail 200 are provided with four second openings 320, where the four second guide wheels 310 are rotatably installed. This arrangement enables the first guide wheels 220 to roll cooperatively with the lifting column 300 and the second guide wheels 310 to roll cooperatively with the rail 200.

[0090] Furthermore, the distance from the rotational axis of the first wheel 150 and the second wheel 160 to the bottom surface of the first rectangular tube 120 is greater than the radius of the first wheel 150 and the second wheel 160. Thus, when the electric lift device is placed on the ground and the bottom surfaces of the first rectangular tube 120 and the second rectangular tube 130 are in contact with the ground, the first wheel 150 and the second wheel 160 do not touch the ground. This configuration ensures that the electric lift device can be stably placed on the ground, preventing it from slipping and moving. When it is necessary to move the electric lift device, press down the electric lift device on the side close to the first wheel 150 and the second wheel 160, so as to bring the first wheel 150 and the second wheel 160 into contact with the ground. This action will lift the side of the electric lift device away from the first wheel 150 and the second wheel 160, making it easier to move the electric lift device.
[0091] The first wheel 150 is rotatably mounted on the rear side of the first rectangular tube 120, and the second wheel 160 is rotatably mounted on the rear side of the second rectangular tube 130. Specifically, with the side of the seat 420 away from the rail 200 considered as the front side of the electric lift device, and the side of the rail 200 away from the seat 420 considered as the rear side of the electric lift device. Both the first wheel 150 and the second wheel 160 are disposed on the rear side of the support assembly 100. When it is required to move or transfer the electric lift device, it is only required to press down the electric lift device on the rear side to lift the front side to make the first wheel 150 and the second wheel 160 be in contact with the ground, allowing for easy and convenient transfer.

[0093] Referring to
[0094] In an embodiment, multiple screws 170 pass through the top surface of the support plate 110 and extend into the first extension part 121 and the second extension part 131, thereby achieving a reliable connection between the first extension part 121, the second extension part 131, and the support plate 110. In this embodiment, there are also multiple screws 170 passing through the rear side of the support plate 110, with some of them extending into the first extension part 121 and some of them into the second extension part 131, thereby enhancing the reliability of the connection between the first extension part 121, the second extension part 131, and the support plate 110. In this arrangement, even if all the screws 170 passing through the top surface of the support plate 110 become damaged or ineffective, the support provided by the screws 170 passing through the rear side of the support plate 110 prevents the rear side of the support plate 110 from tilting, thereby avoiding the forward tilting of the seat assembly 400 and the user sitting thereon.
[0095] Referring to
[0096] In an embodiment, the rail 200 is connected to the support plate 110 by welding.

[0098] Referring to
[0099] The armrests 430 are hingedly connected to the connecting frame 410, allowing them to rotate relative to the connecting frame 410 and be folded. Specifically, when the user needs to sit on the seat 420, they can flip up the armrests 430. This enables the user to sit on the seat 420 not only from the front but also from the sides. When the user sits on the seat 420 from the front, it prevents them from bumping into the armrests 430, thereby enhancing the convenience of sitting on the seat 420.
[0100] Specifically, the armrests 430 are in a horizontal position during use. When flipped up, the armrests 430 are in a vertical position.

[0103] As shown in
[0104] In an embodiment, the ramp portion 421 is provided on the side of the seat 420 away from the rail 200.
[0105] In an embodiment, the ramp portion 421 is provided on lateral side of the seat 420, either to the left or right side.
[0106] In an embodiment, the left and right sides of the seat 420 both have ramp portions 421 that extend in a direction toward a floor.
[0107] In an embodiment, the seat 420 is provided with ramp portions 421 on the side away from the rail 200 and one side of the left and right sides of the seat 420. The ramp portions 421 slope downwards.
[0108] Referring to
[0109] In an embodiment, when the seat 420 is lowered to its lowest height, the distance between the seat 420 and the ground is 40 mm. With the downward-sloping ramp portion 421, users can easily move from the ground to the seat 420.
[0110] The seat 420 is removably connected to the connecting frame 410. Specifically, this arrangement allows for easier transportation and packaging of the electric lift device. When transportation or packaging of the electric lift device is required, the seat 420 can be removable from the connecting frame 410, the armrests 430 can be flipped up, and the lifting column 300 and the seat assembly 400 can be lowered to their lowest height, thereby reducing the space occupied by the electric lift device.

[0112] As shown in
[0113] Referring to
[0114] The locking part 700 is a locking screw that passes through connecting frame 410 and presses against connecting rod 422, thereby locking seat 420 relative to connecting frame 410.

[0119] Referring to
[0120] Specifically, the handle 1200 can be configured to push the electric lift device for transfer or for rehabilitation training. In this embodiment, the seat assembly 400 is positioned on the front side of the lifting column 300, while the handle 1200 is disposed on the rear side of the lifting column 300. Additionally, the first rectangular tube 120 and the second rectangular tube 130 extend from the rear side of the electric lift device to the front side, with some parts extending to positions that the front side of the rail 200 faces. This configuration allows some sections of the first rectangular tube 120 and the second rectangular tube 130 to be positioned below the seat assembly 400, further preventing forward tilting when the user sits on the seat assembly 400. Moreover, when the seat assembly 400 descends to its lowest position, the first rectangular tube 120 and the second rectangular tube 130 also provide support for the seat assembly 400.
[0121] The first wheel 150 is rotatably disposed on the rear side of the first rectangular tube 120, and the second wheel 160 is rotatably disposed on the rear side of the second rectangular tube 130. This means that the first wheel 150 and the second wheel 160 are disposed on the side of the rail 200 away from the seat assembly 400. The first wheel 150 and the second wheel 160 are positioned on different sides of the rail 200 from the seat assembly 400. Therefore, when it is necessary to transfer the electric lift device, pressing down on the electric lift device from the rear side causes the front side of the electric lift device to lift. At this point, the first wheel 150 and the second wheel 160 are in contact with the ground, facilitating the transfer of the electric lift device. Additionally, when pressing down on the electric lift device from the rear side, the seat assembly 400, the first rectangular tube 120, and the second rectangular tube 130 do not obstruct or interfere.
