[0073] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0074] The detailed structure of the present application is further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0075] The seat pan extension unlocking structure of the present application mainly comprises a seat pan frame body 500, a seat pan 300, an unlocking handle 100, a clamping jaw 200 and a sliding body 400.

[0076] Reference Figure 1 One end of the unlocking handle 100 is fixed on the seat pan through a fastener passing through the handle via hole 113. The other end of the unlocking handle 100 is provided with a knob 132 for facilitating the passenger to control the unlocking handle 100. The unlocking handle 100 is divided into an unlocking handle first section 110, an unlocking handle second section 120 and an unlocking handle third section 130 from its fixed end to the front. A plurality of locking grooves 131 are provided on the unlocking handle third section 130 for cooperating with the clamping jaw 200 to form a plurality of sliding locking stop positions of the seat pan 300. The side of the unlocking handle second section 120 is provided with a stop point 122 and a slot 121. The width of the unlocking handle third section 130 is W1, and the width of the unlocking handle second section 120 is W2. A bending portion 111 is provided on the unlocking handle first section 110, which makes the unlocking handle first section 110 have a downward bending trend to the unlocking handle third section 130, avoiding interference with the foam 330( Figure 13 ) when the unlocking handle 100 extends straight forward from the bottom of the seat pan 300.

[0077] In combination Figures 2 to 4, the first seat basin via hole 311 and the second seat basin via hole 312 are arranged on the seat basin 300. The front side of the handle via hole 113 is also provided with a limiting column 112. The fastener is fixed through the handle via hole 113 and then through the second seat basin via hole 312. The limiting column 112 is placed in the first seat basin via hole 311, and the movement range of the limiting column 112 is limited through the first seat basin via hole 311, so as to control the rotation angle of the unlocking handle 100. There are also observation windows 301 and sliding grooves 320, and the structure here is described later.

[0078] Reference Figure 5 , the pawl 200 is fixed on the seat basin frame 500. The two sides of the pawl 200 are respectively provided with a baffle 201, and the front side is provided with a locking tongue 202 extending upward, which cooperates with the locking groove 131 to achieve the blocking and locking of the seat basin 300 during movement. The distance between the two baffles 201 is W3.

[0079] Reference Figures 6 to 10 When the seat basin 300 is assembled to the seat basin frame 500, the unlocking handle 100 passes through the middle of the two baffles 201 of the pawl 200, and the locking tongue 202 is inserted into the locking groove 131 to achieve locking. When unlocking, after lifting the handle 132 upward to make the locking groove 131 disengage from the locking tongue 202, the seat basin 300 is pushed to move.

[0080] Reference Figures 11 to 19 When the seat basin 300 is located at the last end position, the handle 132 is lifted to unlock. The lifting space of the handle 132 is limited by the foam 330 installed on the seat basin 300, so the handle 132 will not jump out of the baffles 201 due to excessive lifting. During the continuous movement of the seat basin 300, the baffles 201 limit the movement direction of the unlocking handle 100, W3=W1, and the first section 110 of the unlocking handle always moves linearly between the baffles 201, so the unlocking handle 100 can be lowered at any time, and the locking groove 131 can accurately fall into the locking tongue 202 to complete the locking (without lateral misplacement). When the seat basin 300 moves to the most front end position, the second end 120 of the unlocking handle moves between the baffles 201, and the stop point 122 is blocked by the baffles 201. At this time, the last locking groove 131 falls into the locking tongue 202 when the unlocking handle 100 is lowered.

[0081] If the seat basin 300 is to be disassembled, the unlocking handle 100 is rotated clockwise according to the arrow direction ( Figure 17 ), so that the notch 121 enters the front side of the baffle 201, and the stop point 122 on the other side is separated from the baffle 201, W2 Figure 18 and Figure 19 ) is less than W3, so that the pawl 200 is released from the locking of the unlocking handle 100, and the seat basin 300 can continue to move forward (

[0082] ReferenceFigure 21 and Figure 22 On the seat frame 500, four sliding bodies 400 are also arranged, the seat 300 is connected with the seat frame 500 through the sliding bodies 400, and relative sliding between the seat 300 and the seat frame 500 is realized (combined with Figure 6 ). The sliding bodies 400 can be made of plastic or rubber.

[0083] The bottom of the sliding body 400 is provided with a fixing pin 430, and the two sides of the fixing pin 430 are respectively arranged with buckles 432. The end of the buckle 432 is provided with a buckle fixing end 433, and the fixing pin 430 is also provided with a second reverse buckle 431 extending outward. The top of the sliding body 400 is provided with a sliding part 410, and the side of the sliding part 410 is provided with a second reverse buckle 411 extending outward, and a groove 412 is arranged between the second reverse buckle 411 and the supporting part 420.

[0084] Referring to Figures 23 to 27 , the seat frame 500 is arranged with a sliding body fixing mechanism composed of a sliding body fixing hole 501 and a buckle hole 502, and the buckle hole 502 is arranged on the two sides of the sliding body fixing hole 501. The sliding body fixing hole 501 is a keyhole-shaped profile of the fixing pin 430, so that the fixing pin 430 can pass through it. The hole diameter of the sliding body fixing hole 501 is slightly larger than the size of the buckle fixing end 433.

[0085] In the conventional state, when the sliding body 400 is in the unlocked disassembly state, the sliding body fixing mechanism axis 503 (passing through the sliding body fixing hole 501) is perpendicular to the sliding body axis 401 (passing through the buckle 432). But this design, will cause the buckle 430 to interfere with the metal mounting surface during installation (such as Figure 26 ).

[0086] Therefore, by setting the sliding body fixing hole 501 obliquely, so that when the unlocking disassembly state, the included angle between the sliding body fixing mechanism axis 503 and the sliding body axis 401 is less than 90°, to avoid the interference between the sliding body 400 and the mounting surface (such as Figure 27 ).

[0087] Referring to Figure 28 and Figure 29 , when the fixing pin 430 is inserted into the sliding body fixing hole 501, the second reverse buckle 431 and the supporting part 420 are rotated to jointly clamp the metal mounting surface, and when the buckle fixing end 433 falls into the sliding body fixing hole 501, the sliding body is completely fixed on the seat frame 500. At this time, the sliding body 400 is in the locked state, and the included angle between the sliding body axis 401 and the fixing mechanism axis 503 is 0°. By adjusting the hole diameter of the sliding body fixing hole 501, the sliding body 400 can still have a certain degree of rotational freedom after being fixed, so that the seat 300 can be more easily installed.

[0088] In conjunction with reference to Figure 2 , 6 and 7, the seat basin 300 is provided with four sliding grooves 320, each of which is composed of a sliding groove 322 and an escape end 321 provided at one end of the sliding groove 322. The escape end 321 is slightly larger in size than the sliding part 410. After the sliding body 400 is passed from below the escape end 321, the groove 412 is engaged with the sliding groove 322 by pushing the seat basin 300, so that the seat basin 300 is moved relative to the sliding body 400.
