Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drive tracks, and particularly to a fixing structure between a face cover and a drive track. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, people's requirements for the functions and comfort of products are increasing day by day. When sitting in the back row, users also hope to have a leg rest to support their calves to make their ride more comfortable. During the adjustment of the leg rest, after the motor is powered on and rotates to drive the transmission rod, the transmission rod will drive the metal gear to rotate. The rotation of the metal gear will drive the metal arc rack to rotate. The rotation of the arc rack drives the leg rest driven structure to slide forward or backward from under the seat cushion. The drive track will slide in the arc chute in the leg rest driven structure, thereby driving the strip to unfold or retract. Since the strip is sewn on the face cover and the foam is installed in the face cover, it drives the unfolding and retracting of the face cover and the foam, thereby propping up the passenger's calf. Existing calf rests on the market can generally only be applied to the seats in the front row or the middle row due to the space in the back row of the vehicle and cannot be applied to the back row seats.

[0003] The existing solutions have the following defects:

[0004] 1. The drive track of the existing technical solution uses two-color injection molding. Since the drive track needs to be unfolded and retracted, the strength of two-color injection molding is insufficient. After the leg rest is unfolded and retracted many times, the drive track will crack, resulting in the scrapping of the entire drive track.

[0005] 2. For the drive track of two-color injection molding, the processing requirements are high, the mold manufacturing cost is high, and the requirements for equipment are also high. Summary of the Invention

[0026] Referring to Figures 1-5 , in an embodiment of the present invention, a fixing structure of a seat cover and a driving track includes a seat cushion frame 1. The seat cushion frame 1 is a rigid part. The large roller 7 and the small roller 8 are assembled onto the rivets of the seat cushion frame 1. The limiting strip 9 is assembled onto the seat cushion frame 1. The motor 6 is assembled onto the seat cushion frame 1 with screws. The metal bushing 4 is assembled into the round hole of the seat cushion frame 1. The plastic bushing 5 is assembled into the hole of the metal bushing 4. The synchronous rod 2 passes through the holes of the motor 6, the plastic bushing 5, and the gear 10. The thrust caps 3 are clamped at both ends of the synchronous rod 2;

[0027] The left arc plastic part guide rail 12 is fixed to the middle large plastic guide rail 14 with screws. The right arc plastic part guide rail 13 is fixed to the middle large plastic guide rail 14 with screws. The C-shaped stamping part slideway 24, the middle connecting sheet metal 20, the arc rack 21, the left limiting sheet metal 22, the right limiting sheet metal 23, and the nut 25 are welded together. The assembly formed by welding the C-shaped stamping part slideway 24, the middle connecting sheet metal 20, the arc rack 21, the left limiting sheet metal 22, the right limiting sheet metal 23, and the nut 25 is assembled onto the middle large plastic guide rail 14 with screws. The bearings 18 are installed on both sides of the front plastic drum 16. The screw rod 17 passes through the front plastic drum 16 and the bearings 18. The assembly of the screw rod 17, the plastic drum 16, and the bearings 18 is assembled to the front end of the middle connecting sheet metal 20. The nuts are tightened at both ends of the screw rod 17 to form a leg support driven structure.

[0028] The plastic part for fixing the tail of the track 31, the plastic part for the track hook 32, and the plastic part for fixing the front of the track 34 are threaded through with an iron pin 33 from end to end. Then, the stamping part fixing bracket 29 is fixed to the plastic part for fixing the tail of the track 31 with self-tapping screws to obtain a leg support driving track assembly. Another leg support driving track assembly is obtained by the same steps, and the two driving track assemblies are symmetrical.

[0029] The leg support driving track assembly is pushed between the large plastic guide rail 14 and the left guide rail 12,

[0030] The C-shaped stamping part slideway 24 is aligned with the large roller 7 and the small roller 8 on the seat cushion frame 1, and it is ensured that the rack 21 and the gear 10 enter the meshing state.

[0031] The stamping part fixing bracket 29 is fixed to the seat cushion frame 1 with self-tapping screws;

[0032] The leg support rear limiting bracket 26 is fixed to the middle connecting sheet metal 20 with screws.

[0033] Sew single arrow-shaped strips on both sides of the face cover, put the face cover on the foam, and then insert the sewn single arrow-shaped strips into the track hook 32 from the side. The small tongue can be deformed during the insertion process to facilitate assembly.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] Leg rest retraction:

[0036] Power on the motor 6. The forward rotation of the motor 6 will drive the synchronous rod 2 to rotate forward. The forward rotation of the synchronous rod 2 will drive the gear 10 to rotate forward. The forward rotation of the gear 10 will drive the rack 21 to rotate reversely. At this time, the large roller 7 and the small roller 8 rotate on the rivets of the seat cushion frame 1 and roll relative to the C-shaped stamping part slideway 24, so that the leg rest driven structure is retracted under the seat cushion frame 1, the driving track assembly slides in the chute of the leg rest driven structure, the single arrow-shaped strip sewn on the face cover is retracted, and then the foam is retracted and hidden under the leg rest driven structure together under the seat cushion frame 1. When the left limit sheet metal 22 and the right limit sheet metal 23 contact the limit strip 9, the motor is blocked and the leg rest cannot be retracted backward anymore.

[0037] Leg rest extension:

[0038] Power on the motor 6. The reverse rotation of the motor 6 will drive the synchronous rod 2 to rotate reversely. The reverse rotation of the synchronous rod 2 will drive the gear 10 to rotate reversely. The reverse rotation of the gear 10 will drive the rack 21 to rotate forward. At this time, the large roller 7 and the small roller 8 rotate on the rivets of the seat cushion frame 1 and roll relative to the C-shaped stamping part slideway 24, so that the leg rest driven structure is stably extended forward, the driving track assembly slides in the chute of the leg rest driven structure, the single arrow-shaped strip sewn on the face cover is extended, and then the foam is extended to lift the passenger's calf. When the rear limit bracket 26 contacts the limit strip 9, the motor is blocked and the leg rest cannot be extended forward anymore.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those of ordinary skill in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
