[0003] At present, many rear seats of cars use a floor lock structure to lock the seat cushion, that is, the rear seat cushion is flipped by using a ground anchor bracket and an internal hinged connection with the vehicle.

[0004] With regard to the above-mentioned existing solutions, the inventor believes that the improvements to increase storage space under the seats in cars are basically concentrated on the rear seats. As for the front seats, considering that the front seats are often adjusted by the driver and passengers and the height is constantly adjusted according to driving needs, the front seats are rarely used for storage.

[0024] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 3 This application is described in further detail.

[0025] The embodiment of the present application discloses a car seat locking device. Figure 1 The locking device is installed on the seat cushion frame 1 of the front and / or rear seats of the car. The left and right sides of the seat cushion frame 1 are respectively hinged to the corresponding seat cushion support plates 2 on the left and right sides, and the rear sides of the seat cushion support plates 2 on the left and right sides are connected by a rear cross bar 3; connecting arms 4 are hinged at the front positions of the left and right seat cushion support plates 2, and one end of the connecting arm 4 away from the seat cushion support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the seat cushion frame 1. Through this hinge structure, the flipping of the seat cushion no longer relies on the hinge of the traditional anchor bracket, but the seat cushion frame 1 itself is hinged to the seat cushion support plate 2 through the connecting arm 4, and the seat cushion support plate 2 can be installed on the seat adjustment device. This makes the structural layout more reasonable, and whether it is the rear seat or the front seat, it makes it possible to expand the space under the seat cushion.

[0026] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 The locking device includes a locking shell 5 and a locking tongue 6 installed on the rear side of the seat cushion frame 1. The locking tongue 6 is hinged to the locking shell 5. A locking buckle 7 that cooperates with the locking tongue 6 to lock is provided at a position corresponding to the locking device on the rear cross bar 3. The locking buckle 7 has a U-shaped structure, and the two rear end portions of the locking buckle 7 are bent upward and welded to the rear cross bar 3 at the bending position. On the one hand, it simplifies the structure and reduces the weight of the seat itself. On the other hand, it does not affect the overall locking work.

[0027] Reference Figure 3The locking shell 5 includes locking limit plates 8 on the left and right sides and a locking stop plate 9 on the upper side. The upper sides of the two locking limit plates 8 are connected by the locking stop plate 9; wherein, the front side of the locking limit plate 8 is provided with an arc-shaped notch 10, and the locking limit plate 8 abuts against the rear cross bar 11 of the seat cushion frame 1, and the arc-shaped notch 10 is adapted to the rear cross bar 11. After the locking limit plate 8 abuts and the arc-shaped notch 10 is adapted firmly, it can be fixed by welding, reducing the use of redundant spare parts. In addition, in order to have multiple protections after locking and when the seat shakes or hits, the locking structure has multiple protections, so that the locking buckle 7 will not be directly separated from the lock tongue without double protection. An anti-slip protection plate 12 is extended downward from the rear side of the plate 8, and an auxiliary guide groove 13 is provided on the lower side of the locking limit plate 8 and close to the anti-slip protection plate 12. The auxiliary guide groove 13 can, on the one hand, guide the locking buckle 7 to quickly engage during the locking process, and on the other hand, it can play a secondary anti-slip effect after the lock tongue fails, so that the seat cushion will not be directly flipped over due to the failure of the locking device, causing unnecessary harm to the driver and passengers. At the same time, in order to make the locking shell 5 better adapt to the requirements of the zero-gravity seat, and to limit the height of the locking shell 5 as much as possible, so that the overall height of the seat cushion will not be increased due to the addition of the locking device, the locking shift plate 9 can be made into an inverted V-shaped structure.

[0028] In this embodiment, the locking tongue 6 includes a locking tongue limiting plate 14 located on the left and right sides and a locking tongue connecting plate 15 located on the lower side, and the lower sides of the two locking tongue limiting plates 14 are connected by the locking tongue connecting plate 15; wherein, a locking groove 16 is provided in the middle of the front side of the locking tongue limiting plate 14, and the locking tongue connecting plate 15 is provided with a curved adaptation section at the locking groove 16, and a limiting slot 19 is provided on the rear side of the locking stop plate 9, and a stopper 17 is provided on the locking tongue connecting plate 15 near the curved adaptation section, and the stopper 17 is close to one of the locking tongue limiting plates 14 and has a certain distance between it and the locking tongue limiting plate 14; a torsion spring 18 is sleeved on the hinge axis of the locking tongue 6 and the locking shell 5, one end of the torsion spring 18 is clamped in the limiting slot 19, and the other end is pressed on the locking tongue connecting plate 15 between the stopper 17 and the locking tongue limiting plate 14. This design can make the locking device more stable and effectively control the noise of the product during use.

[0029] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
