Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of driving devices for transportation vehicles, and particularly to a driving device for a business seat on a transportation vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the seats on transportation vehicles are usually of traditional types, with a seat and a backrest. The seat is generally fixed, and its top surface is parallel to the horizontal plane or is an arc-shaped surface that is concave downward for greater comfort of the customer. For business seats on transportation vehicles such as those on airplanes and high-speed trains, the backrests can be rotated and adjusted so that the backrest can contact the back of the passenger and provide support to the back, improving the passenger's riding experience.

[0003] Currently, during the movement of high-speed train and aviation business seats, when the backrest rotates, the back of the passenger may come into contact with it. In this way, as the backrest pushes the back of the passenger to move, it will cause a feeling of pinching the back to the human body, easily causing discomfort to the rider. Whether in a sitting, lying, or reclining position, the long-term non-conformity between the seat and the human body is likely to cause discomfort to the human body. Summary of the Invention
