DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example:

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a swingable seat structure includes a base frame 1, a seat and a rotating assembly 2. The seat includes a cushion board 3 and a backrest board 4. The length of the cushion board 3 and the length of the backrest board 4 are in a ratio of 17:32. The rotating assembly 2 is installed on the base frame 1 for adjusting the seat angle, that is, the cushion board 3 and the backrest board 4 can be rotated around the rotating assembly 2 to adjust the angle suitable for the passengers. An armrest 5, a table board assembly and a swing assembly are also installed above the base frame 1, wherein the armrest 5 is respectively fixed to the base frame 1 on both sides of the cushion board 3 by bolts, and a rotation center hole 6 is opened on the side of the armrest 5 facing the cushion board 3. The table board assembly includes a table board bracket 7 and a table board body 8. One end of the table board bracket 7 is rotatably connected to the armrest 5 at the position of the rotating center hole 6, and the other end extends to be connected to the table board body 8. Connecting strips are connected to both sides of the table board body 8 facing the table board bracket 7. An arc-shaped sliding groove is provided on the side of the table board bracket 7 facing the table board body 8. The end of the connecting strip away from the table board body 8 is slidably connected in the sliding groove. When the table board body 8 is stored, it is fixed on the backrest board 4. When the table board body 8 is flipped downward, the connecting strip slides from one end of the sliding groove to the other end to be limited. At this time, the table board forms a horizontal desktop for placing items.

[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the swing assembly includes an installation slider, which is respectively fixed on both sides of the cushion plate 3, and the installation slider includes a first slider 9 and a second slider 10. The armrest 5 has an arc guide groove protruding toward one side of the cushion plate 3, and the arc guide groove is an arc groove with the rotation center hole 6 as the center. The arc guide groove includes a first guide groove 11 and a second guide groove 12. The first slider 9 and the second slider 10 are respectively slidably connected in the first guide groove 11 and the second guide groove 12. The cushion plate 3 swings along the track through the installation slider, wherein the radius of the first guide groove 11 with the rotation center hole 6 as the center is the first radius, and the radius of the second guide groove 12 with the rotation center hole 6 as the center is the second radius, and the ratio of the first radius to the second radius is 120:73. The length of the cushion plate 3 is the first length, and the horizontal distance between the first guide groove 11 and the second guide groove 12 is the second length. The ratio of the second length to the first length is 27:100, so that the span between the two arc guide grooves is maximized, ensuring the stability of the cushion plate 3 when swinging along the track. At this time, when the seat is adjusted in angle, the table support 7 and the seat rotation center are combined into one point, that is, their rotation centers are both located at the rotation center hole 6. In order to enable the seat to return to its initial state after adjusting the angle, the seat swing assembly is also equipped with a fixed column 13 and a tension spring 14. The fixed column 13 is fixedly welded to the side of the armrest 5 facing the seat cushion 3. One end of the tension spring 14 is connected to the fixed column 13, and the other end is connected to the end of the seat cushion 3 away from the backrest 4. The passenger can lean back to adjust the swing angle. At this time, the front end of the seat cushion 3 is lifted, the tension spring 14 is stretched, and the seat cushion 3 has a tendency to reset under the action of the spring force. The seat cushion 3 can reset automatically.

[0035] like Figure 4As shown, in order to enable passengers to fix the angle after adjusting it to a suitable angle to avoid swinging again, three positioning holes 15 are opened on the side of the first sliding block 9 facing the backrest plate 4, and a fixing seat 16 is installed on the side wall of the first guide groove 11 opposite to the positioning holes 15. A pin lock 17 is slidably connected in the fixing seat 16. One end of the pin lock 17 passes through the side wall of the first guide groove 11 and is inserted into one of the positioning holes 15, and the other end extends obliquely upward from the armrest 5 and is connected to the handle 18. A guide block 19 is provided on the armrest 5, and the guide block 19 is provided with a guiding inclined surface. The guiding inclined surface contacts one side of the handle 18 for supporting the handle 18 to prevent the pin lock 17 from bending or even breaking due to the downward external force due to unexpected circumstances. At the same time, the opening of the guiding inclined surface makes it convenient for the handle 18 to drive the pin lock 17 to be pulled out along the guiding inclined surface, which is more labor-saving. One end of the pin lock 17 toward the positioning hole 15 protrudes outward with a limited edge, and a reset spring 20 is also sleeved on the pin lock 17. One end of the reset spring 20 contacts the limited edge, and the other end contacts the fixed seat 16. The installation of the reset spring 20 allows the pin lock 17 to be automatically inserted into the positioning hole 15 without the need for human action again after being pulled out of the positioning hole 15 by manpower. The operation is simple and quick. Guide grooves inclined toward the inside of the positioning hole 15 are provided on both sides of the opening of the positioning hole 15. When the pin lock 17 is located on the guide groove during resetting, it will automatically slide into the adjacent positioning hole 15 to avoid getting stuck.

[0036] The use process of the present invention is as follows: when the passenger needs to adjust the angle, first grasp the handle 18 to pull the pin lock 17 upward along the guide inclined surface of the guide block 19, so that the pin lock 17 is disengaged from the positioning hole 15, and the reset spring 20 is compressed. Then the passenger can lean back to adjust the angle, and the installation slider slides along the arc guide groove. The seat rotates with the rotation center hole 6 as the center of the circle, and at the same time drives the table board bracket 7 to rotate synchronously with the rotation center hole 6 as the center of the circle. The movement trajectory of the table board body 8 and the seat will not interfere with each other. At this time, the tension spring 14 is stretched. When it is adjusted to the desired angle, just release the handle 18. The pin lock 17 moves toward the positioning hole 15 under the elastic force of the reset spring 20 until it is inserted into the positioning hole 15 to fix the seat. When the pin lock 17 is located on the guide groove, it will automatically slide into the adjacent positioning hole 15.

[0037] The above-described implementation methods do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the technical solution. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the above-described implementation methods shall be included in the protection scope of the technical solution.
