[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art of the present technology to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0032] The present application provides a leg rest device for an automotive seat and an automotive seat including the leg rest device.

[0033] As Figures 1-4 shown, the leg rest device provided by the present application includes a swing mechanism 100, an electric drive mechanism 300, a telescopic mechanism 200, and a cable mechanism 400.

[0034] The electric drive mechanism 300 is in transmission connection with the swing mechanism 100, so as to drive the swing mechanism 100 to swing back and forth. The telescopic mechanism 200 is slidably connected to the swing mechanism 100, so as to be able to telescope relative to the swing mechanism 100.

[0035] The cable mechanism 400 includes a cable 401. One end of the cable 401 is connected to the skeleton A of the automotive seat to become a fixed end. Specifically, a cable fixing bracket 403 can be provided, the fixed end of the cable 401 is connected to the cable fixing bracket 403, and the cable fixing bracket 403 is connected to the skeleton A of the automotive seat. Specifically, the cable fixing bracket 403 can be connected below the skeleton A of the automotive seat (see Figure 5 ). The other end of the cable 401 is connected to the telescopic mechanism 200 to become a movable end. A certain area between the fixed end and the movable end of the cable 401 contacts the swing mechanism 100.

[0036] Since a certain area between the fixed end and the movable end of the cable 401 contacts the swing mechanism 100, and the swing mechanism 100 can swing back and forth under the drive of the electric drive mechanism 300, the position of the contact area (hereinafter referred to as the contact area) between the swing mechanism 100 and the cable 401 will move forward or backward as the swing mechanism 100 swings back and forth.

[0037] When the position of the contact area moves forward or backward, it will cause the length of the cable 401 between the contact area, the fixed end and the movable end to change. Since the total length of the cable 401, that is, the length of the cable 401 between the fixed end and the movable end, remains unchanged, if the length of the cable 401 between the contact area and the fixed end becomes longer, the length of the cable 401 between the contact area and the movable end will become shorter. Conversely, if the length of the cable 401 between the contact area and the fixed end becomes shorter, the length of the cable 401 between the contact area and the movable end will become longer.

[0038] Since the contact area of the cable 401 contacts the swing mechanism 100, the movable end of the cable 401 is connected to the telescopic mechanism 200, and the telescopic mechanism 200 is slidably connected to the swing mechanism 100, when the length of the cable 401 between the contact area and the movable end becomes shorter or longer, it will force the telescopic mechanism 200 to slide relative to the swing mechanism 100, so that the telescopic mechanism 200 extends or retracts relative to the swing mechanism 100.

[0039] In specific applications, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the cable fixing bracket 403 can be connected below the frame A of the vehicle seat. When the leg rest device needs to be used, the electric drive mechanism 300 is used to drive the swing mechanism 100 to swing forward. When the swing mechanism 100 swings forward, it drives the telescopic mechanism 200 to extend through the cable mechanism 400, so that the leg rest device extends to the front of the frame A of the vehicle seat to support the legs of the passenger. When the leg rest device is not in use, the electric drive mechanism 300 is used to drive the swing mechanism 100 to swing backward. When the swing mechanism 100 swings backward, it drives the telescopic mechanism 200 to retract through the cable mechanism 400, so that the leg rest device is stored below the frame A of the vehicle seat.

[0040] As can be seen from the above description, for the above-mentioned leg rest device, the electric drive mechanism 300 is used to drive the swing mechanism 100 to swing forward and backward. When the swing mechanism 100 swings forward and backward, it drives the telescopic mechanism 200 to expand and contract through the cable mechanism 400. Therefore, a set of electric drive mechanism 300 realizes two actions of rotation and telescoping at the same time. Compared with using two sets of electric drive mechanisms 300, the overall volume, cost and weight of the leg rest device are reduced. Moreover, the above-mentioned leg rest device uses the cable mechanism 400 for transmission, and the cable mechanism 400 has the characteristics of small volume, low cost and light weight, so it is more conducive to reducing the overall volume, cost and weight of the leg rest device.

[0041] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the leg rest device includes an elastic reset member 500. The elastic reset member 500 is connected to the telescopic mechanism 200 and the swing mechanism 100, and the elastic reset member 500 provides an elastic reset force for the telescopic mechanism 200 to reset from the extended state to the retracted state.

[0042] To enable the cable mechanism 400 to achieve the above-mentioned transmission purpose, it is necessary to ensure that the total length of the cable 401, that is, the length of the cable 401 between the fixed end and the movable end, remains unchanged. Therefore, the cable 401 itself has no elasticity. Since the cable 401 itself has no elasticity, if only relying on the pulling of the cable 401 to reset the telescopic mechanism 200 from the extended state to the retracted state, the recovery process is relatively slow, affecting the user experience. By providing the above-mentioned elastic reset member 500, this problem can be solved, enabling the telescopic mechanism 200 to quickly reset to the retracted state and stably stay in the retracted state.

[0043] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the swing mechanism 100 includes two swing brackets 101 arranged at intervals left and right, a lower swing cross beam 103 connected between the two swing brackets 101, and an upper swing cross beam 102. With such a design, the swing mechanism 100 is a frame structure, which not only has high strength but also is small in size and light in weight. Specifically, there are no restrictions on the connection forms between the two swing brackets 101 and the lower swing cross beam 103, and between the two swing brackets 101 and the upper swing cross beam 102. It can be an assembled connection such as a snap connection, a fastener connection, etc., or it can be integrally formed.

[0044] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the telescopic mechanism 200 includes two telescopic brackets 201 arranged at intervals left and right, an upper telescopic cross beam 202 and a lower telescopic cross beam 203 connected between the two telescopic brackets 201. With such a design, the telescopic mechanism 200 is a frame structure, which not only has high strength but also is small in size and light in weight. Specifically, there are no restrictions on the connection forms between the two telescopic brackets 201 and the lower telescopic cross beam 203, and between the two telescopic brackets 201 and the upper telescopic cross beam 202. It can be an assembled connection such as a snap connection, a fastener connection, etc., or it can be integrally formed. In the figure, the lower telescopic cross beam 203 is connected below the two telescopic brackets 201 through mounting bolts 204.

[0045] In one embodiment, the telescopic mechanism 200 is connected between the two swing brackets 101 of the swing mechanism 100. With such a design, the telescopic mechanism 200 and the swing mechanism 100 are relatively compact, which is more conducive to reducing the overall volume of the leg rest device.

[0046] Of course, the structures and the relative positional relationship between the swing mechanism 100 and the telescopic mechanism 200 are not limited to the above description, as long as it is ensured that both have a certain support strength and they can be slidably connected to each other.

[0047] In one embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, the swing mechanism 100 includes a friction member 104, and the friction member 104 is made of wear-resistant material. The friction member 104 is detachably mounted on the swing bracket 101. In the figure, the friction member 104 is fixedly connected to the swing bracket 101 through a friction member fixing bolt 105 and a friction member fixing nut 106. The telescopic bracket 201 is slidably connected to the friction member 104. With such a design, when the telescopic bracket 201 slides, it mainly frictions with the friction member 104, so that the swing bracket 101 is not easily worn. During subsequent maintenance, only the friction member 104 needs to be replaced, and the maintenance cost is low.

[0048] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the upper end of the elastic reset member 500 is connected to the upper swing cross beam 102, and the lower end of the elastic reset member 500 is connected to the lower telescopic cross beam 203. Using the upper swing cross beam 102 and the lower telescopic cross beam 203 as the installation basis of the elastic reset member 500, after installation, the elastic reset member 500 is located within the frame of the swing mechanism 100, making the elastic reset member 500 and the swing mechanism 100 more compact, which is more conducive to reducing the overall volume of the leg rest device.

[0049] In one embodiment, the movable end of the cable 401 is connected to the upper telescopic cross beam 202, and the cable 401 contacts the lower swing cross beam 103. When the swing mechanism 100 swings backward to the limit position and the telescopic mechanism 200 contracts to the limit position Figure 1 at the position shown, the direction of the cable 401 from the fixed end to the movable end is: first extend downward and forward around the lower swing cross beam 103, and then extend upward to the upper telescopic cross beam 202. With such a design, the cable 401 occupies a smaller layout space, which is more conducive to reducing the overall volume of the leg rest device, and can efficiently drive the telescopic mechanism 200 to expand and contract.

[0050] In one embodiment, the cable mechanism 400 includes a cable guide member 402, and the cable guide member 402 is connected to the lower swing cross beam 103. In the figure, the cable guide member 402 is connected to the lower swing cross beam 103 through a guide member mounting bolt 404204. The cable 401 is in guiding cooperation with the cable guide member 402, and the cable 401 indirectly contacts the lower swing cross beam 103 through the cable guide member 402. The cable guide member 402 can prevent the cable 401 from swinging left and right, enabling the cable 401 to stably play a transmission role.

[0051] Specifically, the guiding structure on the cable guide member 402 that cooperates with the cable 401 can be a guiding groove or a guiding hole, and the assembly of the guiding groove and the cable 401 is more convenient.

[0052] In one embodiment, the cable guide 402 is provided with a limiting portion 402a. When the telescopic mechanism 200 extends to the limit position, the upper telescopic cross beam 202 abuts against the limiting portion 402a to limit the further extension of the telescopic mechanism 200. With such a design, the cable guide 402 not only plays a guiding role but also a limiting role, serving multiple purposes with one component, which is more conducive to simplifying the structure.

[0053] In one embodiment, the electric drive mechanism 300 includes a motor 301, a transmission shaft 302, two angle adjusters 303, an angle adjuster fixing bracket 304, and a motor fixing bracket 306.

[0054] The fixed part of the angle adjuster 303 is fixedly installed on the angle adjuster fixing bracket 304, and the angle adjuster fixing bracket 304 is used to connect to the frame A of the vehicle seat. Specifically, the angle adjuster fixing bracket 304 can be connected to the front side of the front cross beam of the frame A of the vehicle seat (see Figure 5 ).

[0055] The motor 301 is fixedly installed on the motor fixing bracket 306. In the figure, the motor 301 is connected to the motor fixing bracket 306 through motor fixing bolts 307 and gaskets 308. The motor fixing bracket 306 is used to connect to the frame A of the vehicle seat. In the figure, the motor fixing bracket 306 is assembled on the regulator fixing bracket. Since the angle adjuster fixing bracket 304 is connected to the frame A of the vehicle seat, it is equivalent to the motor fixing bracket 306 being connected to the frame A of the vehicle seat.

[0056] The motor 301 is in transmission connection with the transmission shaft 302. The transmission shaft 302 can be a spline shaft. The transmission shaft 302 is in transmission connection with the rotatable parts of the two angle adjusters 303. The rotatable parts of the two angle adjusters 303 are respectively in transmission connection with the two swing brackets 101. The motor 301 drives the transmission shaft 302 to rotate, thereby driving the rotatable parts of the two angle adjusters 303 to rotate, thereby driving the two swing brackets 101 to rotate, and thus causing the entire swing mechanism 100 to swing. By using the two angle adjusters 303 to drive the two swing brackets 101 to swing respectively, the swinging action of the swing mechanism 100 can be ensured to be stable.

[0057] In one embodiment, the electric drive mechanism 300 includes a limit bracket 305, and the limit bracket 305 is connected to the rotatable part of the angle adjuster 303. As Figure 1 shown, when the swing mechanism 100 swings backward to the limit position, the limit bracket 305 abuts against the angle adjuster fixing bracket 304 to limit the further backward swing of the swing mechanism 100.

[0058] In one embodiment, the telescopic bracket 201 is provided with a receiving groove 201a, and an opening 201b communicating with the receiving groove 201a is provided at one end of the telescopic bracket 201 facing the transmission shaft 302. When the telescopic mechanism 200 contracts to the limit position, the transmission shaft 302 enters the receiving groove 201a through the opening 201b. In this way, the telescopic stroke of the telescopic mechanism 200 is not affected by the transmission shaft 302.

[0059] The above embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0060] In the above description, the side where the front of the vehicle is located is "front", and the side where the rear of the vehicle is located is "rear".

[0061] The above uses specific examples to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the present application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present application, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
