[0063] S3, position locking: referring to Figure 7 , the unlocking sliding pin 22 is located in the second locking area 56, the pressing assembly 41 releases the lock 11 so that the lock 11 enters the locking state; under the action of the elastic member 42, the two pressing plates 43 synchronously release the two locks 11, the lock 11 is automatically reset and unlocked under the action of the internal spring.

[0064] The embodiment has the following advantages:

[0065] When the position of the seat needs to be adjusted, the unlocking lever assembly 21 and the pressing assembly 41 are driven by the driving assembly 31 to move and press the lock 11, so that the lock 11 is unlocked, and then the seat can be pushed to move. In the process of pushing the seat to move, the unlocking sliding pin 22 can move to the unlocking sliding surface 52, so that the unlocking sliding pin 22 and the unlocking lever assembly 21 can be supported by the unlocking support 51, preventing the unlocking lever assembly 21 from rotating accidentally towards the unlocking support 51 and preventing the pressing assembly 41 from releasing the lock 11, thereby effectively preventing the lock 11 from being accidentally locked due to accidental release of the driving assembly 31 during movement of the seat, ensuring that the seat will not be mistakenly locked during movement, improving operation convenience and safety, thereby achieving the advantage of conveniently adjusting the position of the seat by a large distance, especially suitable for occasions where the seat needs to be moved for a long distance.

[0066] The external unlocking mechanism is arranged outside the slide rail, saving the arrangement difficulty and complexity of the internal unlocking mechanism of the slide rail and effectively reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0067] In the process of moving the unlocking sliding pin 22 to the unlocking sliding surface 52, the unlocking sliding pin 22 can abut against the first guide plate 53 and the second guide plate 54, so that the unlocking sliding pin 22 can be inclined upward along the contour of the first guide plate 53 and the second guide plate 54 to the unlocking sliding surface, thereby playing a role of guiding the unlocking sliding pin 22 and preventing the unlocking sliding pin 22 from being stuck during movement, thereby improving reliability.

[0069] Pulling the steel wire rope 33 through the unlocking handle 35, which facilitates pulling the steel wire rope 33, thereby facilitating the movement of the unlocking lever assembly 21, and achieving the advantage of facilitating the adjustment of the seat position.

[0070] When the steel wire rope 33 is loosened, the elastic member 42 drives the pressing assembly 41 to flip away from the lock catch 11, thereby ensuring that the pressing assembly 41 can loosen the lock catch 11 when the steel wire rope 33 does not provide tension, preventing the pressing assembly 41 from shaking and pressing the lock catch 11 to cause accidental unlocking, and improving safety.

[0071] During the movement of the unlocking sliding pin 22 on the unlocking sliding surface 52, the plastic sleeve 24 is in abutment with the unlocking sliding surface 52, and the plastic sleeve 24 can rotate on the sliding pin shaft 23, converting sliding friction into rotational friction, thereby reducing friction, reducing resistance, vibration and noise, and improving product quality.

[0072] The two lock catches 11 can lock two sets of sliding rails respectively. The two pressing plates 43 are connected by the synchronous rod 25, thereby synchronously pressing the two lock catches 11, ensuring the synchronization of the locking and limiting of the two groups of sliding rails with simple structure and fewer parts, while having high reliability and reducing manufacturing cost.

[0073] Embodiment 2:

[0074] Reference Figure 8 A sliding rail includes a fixed rail 61 and a sliding rail 62, and further includes the external unlocking mechanism in embodiment 1. The external unlocking mechanism is installed on the sliding rail 62. The sliding rail 62 is fixedly connected with a rail limiting support 63. The fixed rail 61 is fixedly connected with a stroke limiting support 64. The stroke limiting support 64 is clamped with the rail limiting support 63. Two stroke limiting supports 64 are provided. The rail limiting support 63 is located between the two stroke limiting supports 64. The fixed rail 61 is connected with a vehicle frame. The sliding rail 62 is connected with an automobile seat.

[0075] The embodiment has the following advantages:

[0076] The limit position of the sliding rail 62 is determined by the position of the stroke limiting bracket 64, and the movement range of the sliding rail 62 on the fixed rail 61 is limited by the mutual clamping of the rail limiting bracket 63 and the stroke limiting bracket 64, thereby playing a limiting role on the sliding rail 62. The seat is fixedly connected with the sliding rail 62, thereby realizing the function of limiting the movement of the seat.
