[0021] An installation method for an electric car seat backrest support structure, the specific steps of which are as follows;

[0022] S1: After the backrest frame and the support structure are completed, assemble the backrest frame and the support structure. First, insert the bottom of the backrest frame into the inside of the support structure and align the straight groove frame with the groove rod hole. Then, insert the rotating rod into the groove rod hole and the support structure, and weld the rotating rod to the backrest frame and the support structure respectively.

[0023] S2: Next, fix the output sleeve on the outer surface of the motor output end, fix the rotating rod sleeve on the outer surface of the rotating rod, then pass the built-in through rod through the straight slot frame and weld the live joint frame rod to the other end of the built-in through rod. Then install the drive frame rod and fix the output ends of the motor at both ends of the drive frame rod to the rotating rod. Finally, insert the plug rod into the live joint frame rod and then insert the guide pin into the arc-shaped guide hole.

[0024] S3: Assemble the base support frame and the backrest frame. First, connect the adapter block to the end of the rotating rod. Then, fix and weld the adapter block inside the through hole. Finally, fix and install the saw gear at the end of the adapter block and on the outer wall of the base support frame. After the assembly is completed, there is a certain distance between the tooth block and the saw gear, and the spring is in a compressed state. Finally, assemble another base support frame in the same way.

[0025] S4: After the bottom support frame and the backrest frame are assembled, the two bottom support frames are fixedly connected by the cross beam. Then, the bottom frame plate is laid on the surface of the cross beam and fixed with screws.

[0026] S5: Finally, assemble the bottom frame plate at the bottom of the base support structure. First, move the insert block along the guide rod and squeeze the second spring. Under the elastic force of the second spring, the abutment rod will press against the inside of one end of the screw groove, as shown in the figure. Then, press the abutment rod against the insert block to insert it into the insert groove and press the abutment against one end of the folding plate. At this time, the support rod can be rotated so that its end presses against the limit block and the abutment block. At this time, the coil spring inside the coil tube is in a compressed state. After the bottom frame plate and the base support structure are assembled, assemble the bottom frame plate with the electric slide for seat sliding.

[0027] The technical effects achieved by this invention are as follows:

[0028] (1) In this invention, when the front of the vehicle violently impacts other objects, the back frame will tend to rotate forward under the action of inertia. When the motor output end and the rotating rod break and relative rotation occurs, the guide pin will disengage from the inside of the arc-shaped guide hole. At this time, the live joint rod will not be blocked by the guide pin, and the built-in through rod will be pushed by the spring. At this time, the abutment block will quickly mesh with the saw gear, thereby timely limiting the relative rotation after the motor output end and the rotating rod break, and timely stopping the relative rotation between the back frame and the bottom support structure. This avoids the passenger from being injured in the opposite direction when the seat back is damaged, avoids the serious deformation of the seat as a whole when a car accident occurs, and further avoids the passenger from suffering secondary injury to the seat back in a car accident.

[0029] (2) In the present invention, when a vehicle is involved in a collision, the bottom support structure will move relative to the anti-collision frame under the action of inertia. At this time, the end of the abutment will slide inside the screw groove, and the outer tube will rotate relative to the guide rod. When the abutment moves out along the inclined surface at the end of the screw groove, the position of the insert block will no longer be restricted by the abutment. Finally, the bottom support structure will quickly rebound under the action of the second compression spring. In addition, the end of the support rod will also disengage from the inner side of the limit block and the abutment, releasing the fixed state between the bottom support structure and the anti-collision frame. Finally, the bottom support structure, together with the back frame and the entire seat, will quickly move away from the steering wheel under the action of the second spring, thereby allowing the passenger to quickly move away from the impact point at the front of the vehicle, further reducing the impact force on the passenger in the car accident and minimizing the degree of injury to the passenger in the car accident.

[0030] (3) In this invention, the combination of the bottom support structure, the cross beam and the bottom frame plate replaces the traditional one-piece fixed base structure, which changes the traditional assembly method of the back frame and the base frame. This not only enables the combination to cooperate with the assembly of components such as the support structure, but also eliminates the traditional hoisting base structure assembly process for the seat base assembled from the bottom support structure, the cross beam and the bottom frame plate, making the installation of the back frame simpler and eliminating the need for other hoisting equipment.

[0050] To make the objectives and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be specifically described below with reference to embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of the invention and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by the invention.

[0051] like Figure 1-3As shown, an electric car seat back support structure includes a backrest frame 1. The backrest frame 1 adopts an inverted "U" shaped frame structure, and the bottom of both ends of the backrest frame 1 are provided with rotating holes 104. The two ends of the backrest frame 1 and above the rotating holes 104 are provided with slotted rod holes 103. The back of the backrest frame 1 is fixedly welded with a horizontal frame 101 at equal intervals, and the inner side of the backrest frame 1 is fixedly connected with a mesh frame 102 at equal intervals.

[0052] According to the above structure, the horizontal frame 101 is used to increase the overall strength of the backrest frame 1, and the mesh frame 102 is used to replace the all-steel backrest, saving the material used for the backrest frame.

[0053] See attached document Figure 3 The drive frame rod 3 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner side of the backrest frame 1, and motor housings 301 are fixedly installed at both ends of the drive frame rod 3. A motor 302 is fixedly installed inside the motor housings 301.

[0054] See attached document Figure 3 and Figure 4 The support structure 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of both ends of the backrest frame 1. The two support structures 2 are connected by a back joint 201 welded on the back. Support plates 202 are welded to both ends of the surface of the back joint 201. A straight groove frame 204 is fixedly installed through the inner wall of the support structure 2 and passes through the groove rod hole 103. A rotating rod 205 is fixedly connected through the inside of the support structure 2 and passes through the rotating hole 104 and forms a fixed connection with the backrest frame 1. The output end of the motor 302 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 205.

[0055] According to the above structure, when the motor 302 is started, its output end will drive the rotating rod 205 to rotate. Since the rotating rod 205 is fixedly connected to the backrest frame 1 and the support structure 2, the rotating rod 205 will drive the backrest frame 1 and the support structure 2 to rotate together, thereby achieving the effect of changing the angle of the backrest frame 1.

[0056] See attached document Figure 5 and Figure 6An internal through rod 214 is movably inserted into the straight groove frame 204. The internal through rod 214 also passes through the groove rod hole 103, and a spring 215 is fixedly connected between the internal through rod 214 and the inner wall of the groove rod hole 103. The spring 215 is under compression. A movable joint frame rod 213 and an end frame 216 are fixedly connected to both ends of the internal through rod 214, respectively. An insert rod 212 is movably inserted into the bottom of the movable joint frame rod 213. A rotating rod sleeve 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the insert rod 212, and the rotating rod sleeve 211 is fixedly installed on the rotating rod 212. 05. On the outer surface of one end of the motor 302, the surface of the live joint bracket 213 is provided with an arc-shaped guide hole 218 and a straight guide hole 219 that penetrate the live joint bracket 213. The straight guide hole 219 is located on one side of the arc-shaped guide hole 218 and communicates with the arc-shaped guide hole 218. An output sleeve 208 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the output end of the motor 302. A side rod 209 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the output sleeve 208. A guide pin 210 is fixedly connected to the end side wall of the side rod 209. The guide pin 210 is movably inserted into the interior of the arc-shaped guide hole 218.

[0057] See attached document Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The bottom support structure 4 consists of two symmetrically rotatably connected to the bottom outer side of the backrest frame 1. One end of the bottom support structure 4 has a through hole 401 at the top, which is located on the same axis as the rotating hole 104. A transition block 206 is fixedly installed inside the through hole 401. One end of the transition block 206 is fixedly connected to a saw gear 207 on the outer wall of the bottom support structure 4. The other end of the transition block 206 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 205. A toothed block 217 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the end frame 216, and the toothed block 217 is movably meshed with the saw gear 207. An arc-shaped guide groove 402 is opened at one end of the bottom support structure 4 and at the bottom of the through hole 401. The arc-shaped guide groove 402 is used to limit the rotation range of the backrest frame 1. A guide post 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the support structure 2, and the guide post 203 is movably inserted into the arc-shaped guide groove 402.

[0058] According to the above structure, when the output end of the motor 302 and the rotating rod 205 rotate relative to each other, the backrest frame 1 and the bottom support structure 4 will also rotate relative to each other. At this time, the output sleeve 208 and the side rod 209 will rotate relative to each other with the connecting rod 213. During this process, the guide pin 210 will disengage from the inside of the arc-shaped guide hole 218. At this time, the built-in through rod 214 and the connecting rod 213 will not be blocked by the guide pin 210 and will be pushed by the compression spring 215. Then, the insert rod 212 will quickly retract into the inside of the connecting rod 213, and the abutment block 217 will quickly mesh with the saw gear 207. The guide pin 210 will also move quickly inside the straight guide hole 219. Finally, it can timely limit the relative rotation between the output end of the motor 302 and the rotating rod 205 after the breakage, and stop the relative rotation between the backrest frame 1 and the bottom support structure 4 in time, thereby avoiding the passenger from being injured in the opposite direction when the seat back is damaged.

[0059] See attached document Figure 7 Two bottom support structures 4 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of a crossbeam 6 and an end crossbeam 7. The crossbeam 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom support structure 4 by bolts 603 screwed at both ends. The upper surface of the crossbeam 6 is set as a laying plane 601. The surface of the crossbeam 6 is provided with nail holes 602 that penetrate the crossbeam 6 at equal intervals. The inner wall of the bottom support structure 4 and the upper surface of the laying plane 601 are provided with a bottom frame plate 5. The inner wall of the bottom frame plate 5 is fixedly provided with extension plates 501 at equal intervals. The end of the extension plate 501 is provided with a nail hole 502 that corresponds to the nail hole 602. The bottom frame plate 5 and the crossbeam 6 are fixedly connected by screws that penetrate the nail hole 502 and the nail hole 602.

[0060] According to the above structure, after the bottom support frame 4 and the backrest frame 1 are assembled, the two bottom support frames 4 are fixedly connected by the cross beam 6. Then, the bottom frame plate 5 is laid on the surface of the cross beam 6 and fixed with screws.

[0061] See attached document Figure 8 and Figure 10 Two bottom support structures 4 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the two bottom support structures 4, and the bottom of the bottom support structure 4 is provided with a folding plate 404. The end of the folding plate 404 near the arc-shaped guide groove 402 is provided with an inserting groove 403. A limit block 405 and a stop block 406 are fixedly provided on the outer wall of one end of the bottom support structure 4, and the stop block 406 is located above the limit block 405.

[0062] See attached document Figure 8It also includes a back thrust frame 8, two back thrust frames 8 are respectively assembled at the bottom of two bottom support structures 4. One end of the back thrust frame 8 is provided with a support frame 801 for abutting one end of the folding plate 404. A guide rod 802 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the back thrust frame 8 and to one side of the support frame 801. An insert block 803 is embedded inside the insert groove 403, and the two ends of the insert block 803 are provided with slots 804 for locking the folding plate 404. The two ends of the lower surface of the insert block 803 are fixedly connected with guide sleeves 805, and the guide sleeves 805 are movably sleeved on the outer surface of the guide rod 802. One end of one of the guide sleeves 805 is fixedly connected with a retaining ring 806. A second spring 807 is connected between the retaining ring 806 and the side wall of the support frame 801, and the second spring 807 is sleeved on the outer surface of the guide rod 802 and is in a compressed state.

[0063] See attached document Figure 9 An outer tube 808 is embedded and movably sleeved on the outer surface of the middle part of the guide rod 802, and the outer diameter of the outer tube 808 is the same as the diameter of the guide rod 802. A screw groove 809 is opened on the outer surface of the outer tube 808. A push rod 810 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the insert block 803, and the end of the push rod 810 is movably inserted into the inside of the screw groove 809.

[0064] According to the above structure, when the bottom support frame 4 and the recoil frame 8 move relative to each other, under the action of inertia, the bottom support frame 4 together with the mounting block 803 will slide forward a short distance along the direction of the guide rod 802. During this process, the end of the abutment rod 810 will slide inside the screw groove 809. At the same time, the outer tube 808 will rotate relative to the guide rod 802. When the abutment rod 810 moves to the end of the screw groove 809, it will move out of the screw groove 809 along the inclined surface at the end of the screw groove 809. At this time, the position of the mounting block 803 on the surface of the guide rod 802 is no longer restricted by the abutment rod 810. Under the action of the compression spring 807, the mounting block 803 and the bottom support frame 4 will quickly rebound. Finally, the bottom support frame 4 together with the backrest frame 1 and the entire seat will quickly move away from the steering wheel.

[0065] See attached document Figure 8 The top of the recoil frame 8 away from the abutment frame 801 is rotatably connected to a spring tube 811, and a spring is provided inside the spring tube 811. A support rod 812 and a limiting rod 813 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the spring tube 811. The end of the support rod 812 is movably inserted into the inner side of the limiting block 405 and the abutment block 406, and the spring is in a compressed state. The limiting rod 813 is used to limit the rotation angle of the spring tube 811.

[0066] According to the above structure, during the forward sliding of the bottom support frame 4, the end of the support rod 812 will disengage from the inner side of the limiting block 405 and the stop block 406. Then, under the action of the inner coil spring of the coil tube 811, the support rod 812 will rotate, and the limiting rod 813 just restricts the rotation angle of the coil tube 811, thereby releasing the fixed state between the bottom support frame 4 and the recoil frame 8.

[0067] The working principle of this invention is as follows: After the seat frame is assembled, the motor 302 is started, and its output end will drive the rotating rod 205 to rotate. Since the rotating rod 205 is fixedly connected to the backrest frame 1 and the support structure 2, the rotating rod 205 will drive the backrest frame 1 and the support structure 2 to rotate together, thereby changing the angle of the backrest frame 1 and realizing the work of electric adjustment of the backrest angle. During the adjustment process, the guide post 203 will move inside the arc-shaped guide groove 402. The arc-shaped guide groove 402 is set to limit the rotation range of the backrest frame 1.

[0068] When the vehicle is in motion and, due to insufficient braking time, violently impacts another object with its front end, the occupants and backrest frame 1 will continue to move forward due to inertia. At this time, the backrest frame 1 will tend to rotate forward, resulting in relative rotation between the backrest frame 1 and the base support frame 4. During this process, due to excessive impact force, relative rotation will occur between the output end of the motor 302 and the rotating rod 205. Simultaneously, the output sleeve 208, along with the side rod 209, will rotate relative to the connecting rod 213. During this process, the guide pin 210 will disengage from the arc-shaped guide hole 218. At this point, the built-in through rod 214, along with the connecting rod 213, will be unaffected by the guide pin 210. The obstruction is blocked and pushed by the compression spring 215. At this time, the insertion rod 212 will quickly retract into the inside of the live joint rod 213, and the abutment block 217 will quickly mesh with the saw gear 207. The guide pin 210 will also move quickly inside the straight guide hole 219. At this time, it can timely limit the relative rotation between the output end of the motor 302 and the rotating rod 205 after the breakage, and timely stop the relative rotation between the backrest frame 1 and the bottom support frame 4. This will prevent the seat back from injuring the passenger in the opposite direction when it is damaged, further prevent the seat back from deflecting under the action of inertia when a car accident occurs, further prevent the overall deformation of the seat, and prevent the passenger from suffering secondary injury from the seat back in a car accident.

[0069] Similarly, during the violent impact of the vehicle's front end with other objects, under the influence of inertia, the underbody support structure 4 will move relative to the recoil frame 8. At this time, under the influence of inertia, the underbody support structure 4, together with the insert block 803, will slide forward a short distance along the direction of the guide rod 802. During this process, the end of the abutment rod 810 will slide inside the threaded groove 809. At the same time, the outer tube 808 will rotate relative to the guide rod 802. When the abutment rod 810 moves to the end of the threaded groove 809, it will move out of the threaded groove 809 along the inclined surface at the end of the threaded groove 809. At this time, the position of the insert block 803 on the surface of the guide rod 802 is no longer restricted by the abutment rod 810, and is under the compression of the spring. Under the action of spring 807, the bottom support frame 4 will quickly rebound. In addition, during the forward sliding of the bottom support frame 4, the end of the support rod 812 will disengage from the inner side of the limit stop 405 and the stop block 406. Then, under the action of the inner coil spring of the reed tube 811, the support rod 812 will rotate, and the limit rod 813 just limits the rotation angle of the reed tube 811, thereby releasing the fixed state between the bottom support frame 4 and the recoil frame 8. Finally, the bottom support frame 4, together with the backrest frame 1 and the entire seat, will quickly move away from the steering wheel under the action of spring 807, thereby allowing the passenger to quickly move away from the impact point at the front of the vehicle, further reducing the impact force on the passenger in the car accident and minimizing the degree of injury to the passenger in the car accident.

[0070] An installation method for an electric car seat backrest support structure, the specific steps of which are as follows;

[0071] S1: After the backrest frame 1 and the support structure 2 are completed, the backrest frame 1 and the support structure 2 are assembled. First, the bottom end of the backrest frame 1 is inserted into the interior of the support structure 2, and the straight groove frame 204 is aligned with the groove rod hole 103. Then, the rotating rod 205 is inserted into the groove rod hole 103 and the support structure 2, and the rotating rod 205 is welded and fixed to the backrest frame 1 and the support structure 2 respectively.

[0072] S2: Next, the output sleeve 208 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the output end of the motor 302, the rotating rod sleeve 211 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating rod 205, the built-in through rod 214 is passed through the straight slot frame 204 and the live joint frame rod 213 is welded to the other end of the built-in through rod 214. Then, the drive frame rod 3 is installed and the output ends of the motor 302 at both ends of the drive frame rod 3 are fixedly welded to the rotating rod 205. Finally, the insertion rod 212 is inserted into the live joint frame rod 213 and the guide pin 210 is inserted into the arc-shaped guide hole 218.

[0073] S3: Assemble the base support frame 4 and the backrest frame 1. First, connect the adapter block 206 to the end of the rotating rod 205. Then, fix and weld the adapter block 206 inside the through hole 401. Finally, fix and install the saw gear 207 on the end of the adapter block 206 and on the outer wall of the base support frame 4. After the assembly is completed, there is a certain distance between the tooth block 217 and the saw gear 207, and the spring 215 is in a compressed state. Finally, assemble another base support frame 4 according to the same installation method.

[0074] S4: After the bottom support frame 4 and the backrest frame 1 are assembled, the two bottom support frames 4 are fixedly connected by the cross beam 6. Then, the bottom frame plate 5 is laid on the surface of the cross beam 6 and fixed with screws.

[0075] S5: Finally, assemble the bottom frame plate 5 at the bottom of the bottom support structure 4. First, move the insert block 803 along the guide rod 802 and press the second spring 807. Under the elastic force of the second spring 807, the abutment rod 810 will abut against the inside of one end of the screw groove 809, as shown. Figure 9 As shown, the abutment rod 810 is then pressed against the insert block 803 to insert into the insert groove 403, and the abutment frame 801 is pressed against one end of the folding plate 404. At this time, the support rod 812 can be rotated so that its end is pressed between the limit stop block 405 and the abutment block 406. At this time, the coil spring inside the coil tube 811 is in a compressed state. After the bottom frame plate 5 and the bottom support frame 4 are assembled, the bottom frame plate 5 is then assembled with the electric slide for seat sliding.

[0076] The above installation method changes the traditional assembly method of backrest frame 1 and base frame. The combination of bottom support structure 4, cross beam 6 and bottom frame plate 5 replaces the traditional one-piece fixed base structure. This combination can cooperate with the assembly of components such as support structure 2. The seat base assembled by bottom support structure 4, cross beam 6 and bottom frame plate 5 can save the assembly process of traditional hoisting base structure, making the installation of backrest frame 1 simpler and eliminating the need for other hoisting equipment.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this invention are implemented according to conventional methods in the art unless otherwise specified or limited.
