Abstract

Disclosed is a seat pumping device for a vehicle. The present invention provides a seat pumping device for a vehicle, the seat pumping device including: a clutch device which is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by receiving external manipulation force, and has one or more manipulation flanges that are disposed at a predetermined interval in a circumferential direction and protrude in an axial direction; and a brake device which has one or more manipulation grooves in which the manipulation flanges are accommodated to come into contact with the manipulation grooves clockwise or counterclockwise so that the brake device is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by receiving the external manipulation force from the clutch device, and performs a brake function such that the brake device is not rotated clockwise and counterclockwise by external force that is not through the clutch device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A seat pumping device for a vehicle, the seat pumping device comprising:
a clutch device which is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by receiving external manipulation force, and has one or more manipulation flanges formed in a block shape that are disposed at a predetermined interval in a circumferential direction and protrude in an axial direction; and
a brake device which has one or more manipulation grooves in which the manipulation flanges are accommodated to come into contact with the manipulation grooves clockwise or counterclockwise so that the brake device is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by receiving the external manipulation force from the clutch device, and performs a brake function such that the brake device is not rotated clockwise and counterclockwise by the external manipulation force that is not through the clutch device;
wherein the brake device comprises a brake drum and a plurality of brake rollers being interposed between wedge surfaces of the brake drum and an inner circumferential surface of a drum housing, and disposed at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction;
wherein when the clutch device rotates, a manipulation flange releases a brake state by pushing a brake roller first, and then transmits rotational force to the brake drum by pushing one side wall surface of a manipulation groove.

2. The seat pumping device of claim 1 , wherein the clutch device includes a ring-shaped clutch drum, and the manipulation flange is formed to protrude in the axial direction from one rim of a body of the clutch drum.

3. The seat pumping device of claim 2 , wherein the manipulation flange is formed to protrude further inward in a radial direction than an inner circumferential surface of the clutch drum.

4. The seat pumping device of claim 2 , wherein the brake drum includes:
a drum body having an assembly hole that penetrates a center of the drum body so that an output shaft is coupled to the assembly hole; and
a flange formed at one side of the drum body, and the manipulation grooves are disposed in an outer circumferential surface of the drum body at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction.

5. The seat pumping device of claim 4 , wherein wedge surfaces are formed at both sides of the manipulation groove of the drum body.

6. The seat pumping device of claim 5 , wherein the manipulation groove is formed to be recessed inward in the radial direction from the outer circumferential surface.

7. The seat pumping device of claim 4 , wherein a circumferential width of the manipulation groove is larger than a circumferential width of the manipulation flange.

8. The seat pumping device of claim 4 , wherein the flange is formed to have a circular outer circumferential surface, and the flange is rotatable by being supported on the inner circumferential surface of the drum housing that accommodates the clutch device and the brake device.

9. The seat pumping device of claim 4 , wherein an input member is accommodated in the clutch drum so as to be rotatable by the external manipulation force,
wherein a plurality of clutch rollers is disposed between an outer circumferential surface of the input member and the inner circumferential surface of the clutch drum, and
wherein two clutch rollers are resiliently supported in the circumferential direction by clutch springs, and the clutch drum rotates together with the input member by an wedging action of the clutch rollers by the rotation of the input member.

10. The seat pumping device of claim 9 , wherein the input member includes a member body, and one or more wedge protrusions, which protrude outward in the radial direction and create the wedging action by pressing the clutch rollers, are formed on the member body.

11. The seat pumping device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more wedge protrusions are disposed at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction.

12. The seat pumping device of claim 9 , wherein a stopper protrusion, which restricts a movement of the clutch roller that does not perform the wedging action, is formed on the drum housing.

13. The seat pumping device of claim 10 , further comprising: a lever bracket which is coupled to a lever handle manipulated clockwise and counterclockwise by an occupant seated in a seat, and rotates together with the lever handle, wherein the lever bracket is fastened to the input member so as to be rotated integrally with the input member.

14. The seat pumping device of claim 9 , further comprising:
a drum housing which accommodates the clutch device and the brake device so that the clutch device and the brake device are rotatable; and
a cover plate which is fastened to the drum housing so as to block and cover an opening of the drum housing,
wherein the brake device includes brake springs which are interposed between the plurality of brake rollers adjacent to each other, and resiliently support the plurality of brake rollers in the circumferential direction.
