[0020] In order to better understand the improvements made by the present application over the prior art, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0021] As shown in Figure 1 A magnetic power locking mechanism for a seat backrest, mainly composed of an ecological interface assembly A and a flip valve B, the ecological interface assembly A is provided with a first magnet at the front end of the interface to provide magnetic power.

[0022] The ecological interface assembly A is composed of two parts, and the first magnet is embedded in the front end of the ecological interface assembly A. The middle and rear parts of the ecological interface assembly A are provided with a limiting baffle for limiting after insertion, so that the ecological interface assembly A reserves space for the opponent's tool, which can be used for installing parts such as screen, hat hook, mobile phone support and charging terminal.

[0023] The flip valve B is hinged to the inside of the seat backrest cover 1, and the seat backrest cover 1 is provided with a socket corresponding to the position of the flip valve B. The seat backrest cover 1 is used for fixed installation on the back of the seat backrest, which is limited to the seat backrest, but not necessarily a car seat, but also an airplane seat, etc. Make full use of the space behind the seat. The flip valve B is hinged to the inside of the seat backrest cover 1 through the rotating shaft 8, and the hinge is provided with a return spring 7, which is a rotating torsion spring, providing enough counterforce.

[0024] The flip valve B is mainly composed of a first inclined wedge 3, a second inclined wedge 5, a valve front cover 2 and a valve rear cover 6. The first inclined wedge 3 and the second inclined wedge 5 are placed in the box body formed by the valve front cover 2 and the valve rear cover 6. The bottom of the first inclined wedge 3 is provided with a locking pin 3a that can pass through the box body and be inserted into the lock hole 1a on the seat backrest cover 1 to lock. The lower end of the valve front cover 2 is provided with a long slot gap that cooperates with the bottom cylindrical pin of the first inclined wedge 3 to facilitate installation from the rear. The first inclined wedge 3 is installed in the valve front cover 2 from the rear to the front along the long slot gap.

[0025] The second inclined wedge 5 has magnetism, and the second inclined wedge 5 is preferably embedded with a second magnet 4 for providing magnetism. When the ecological interface assembly A approaches the seat backrest cover 1, the second inclined wedge 5 moves forward under the magnetic force of the first magnet, thereby pushing the first inclined wedge 3 to move upward to achieve unlocking, and then the ecological interface assembly A pushes the flip valve B to flip by passing through the socket.

[0026] When the ecological interface assembly A exits, the flip valve B and the first inclined wedge 3 are reset by the equipped return spring 7. Under the action of the return spring 7, the flip valve B flips back to the original position, and at the same time, the first inclined wedge 3 is subjected to the elastic counterforce at the top, so that the locking pin 3a reinserts into the lock hole 1a to lock, and the second inclined wedge 5 is pushed back to the original position by the first inclined wedge 3. In order to make the first inclined wedge 3 be subjected to elastic counterforce evenly, the top of the first inclined wedge 3 is provided with mounting holes for fixedly installing the return spring 7, and the return spring 7 is a compression spring for providing counterforce.

[0027] In order to make the second inclined wedge 5 move forward smoothly under the magnetic force of the first magnet, recesses matched with the guide posts on the two sides of the valve rear cover 6 are arranged on the left and right sides of the second inclined wedge 5 to guide the forward and backward movement. When being unlocked, the second inclined wedge 5 moves forward along the guide posts, and the recesses on the two sides of the second inclined wedge 5 are "C" grooves.

[0028] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
