Abstract

A position-limiting device includes a base and a position-limiting member rotatably provided on the base, the position-limiting device further includes a positioning member. The base has a hollow portion. The position-limiting member is switchable between a position-limiting state and a non-position-limiting state, when the position-limiting member is in the position-limiting state, the positioning member fixes the position of the position-limiting member; and when the position-limiting member is in the non-position-limiting state, the positioning member releases the position-limiting member, and at least a part of the position-limiting member is received in the hollow portion. The position-limiting member can switch between the position-limiting state and the non-position-limiting state, and the positioning member can fix the position of the position-limiting member and release the position-limiting member; and in the non-position-limiting state, at least a part of the position-limiting member is received in the hollow portion of the base.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A position-limiting device, comprising a base and a position-limiting member rotatably arranged on the base, wherein the position-limiting device further comprises a positioning member, the base has a hollow portion; the position-limiting member is switchable between a position-limiting state and a non-position-limiting state, in a case that the position-limiting member is in the position-limiting state, the positioning member fixes a position of the position-limiting member; and in a case that the position-limiting member is in the non-position-limiting state, the positioning member releases the position-limiting member, and at least a part of the position-limiting member is received in the hollow portion; and
wherein, the position-limiting member has a main body portion and a position-limiting portion, the main body portion comprises a first section and a second section, the first section has a first end rotatably arranged on the base and a second end connected to a first end of the second section, and a second end of the second section is connected to the position-limiting portion; and the second section and the position-limiting portion form a position-limiting area;
wherein, the positioning member comprises a first positioning member, a first end of the first positioning member is rotatably arranged on the base, and a second end of the first positioning member is a hook-shaped structure, the first section has a hollow portion, the hook-shaped structure is configured to pass through the hollow portion of the first section and hook a first side of the first section in the case that the position-limiting member is in the position-limiting state; and
wherein, the positioning member comprises a second positioning member, the second positioning member has a first end fixedly arranged on the base and a second end configured to abut against a second side of the first section in the case that the position-limiting member is in the position-limiting state; and the first side and the second side are two opposite sides of the first section.

2. The position-limiting device according to claim 1 , wherein the second section is a straight section, and the straight section and the position-limiting portion form a T-shaped structure.

3. The position-limiting device according to claim 1 , further comprising a first elastic member, wherein the first elastic member is configured to allow the position-limiting member to have a tendency of being switched from the position-limiting state to the non-position-limiting state.

4. The position-limiting device according to claim 3 , wherein the first end of the first section is rotatably arranged on the base via a first rotating shaft, and the first elastic member is a first torsional spring sleeved on the first rotating shaft.

5. The position-limiting device according to claim 1 , further comprising an elastic member of the first positioning member, wherein the second elastic member of the first positioning member is configured to allow the second end of the first positioning member to have a tendency of moving upward with respect to the base.

6. The position-limiting device according to claim 5 , further comprising a pedal, wherein the pedal is arranged on the first positioning member and is configured to allow the second end of the first positioning member to move downward with respect to the base under the action of an external force.

7. The position-limiting device according to claim 5 , wherein the first end of the first positioning member is rotatably arranged on the base via a rotating shaft of the first positioning member, and the elastic member of the first positioning member is a torsional spring sleeved on the rotating shaft of the first positioning member.
