The first signal sensor 24, the second signal sensor 32, the locking bolt 21 and the release switch 22 are mounted in the mounting seat 25, which integrates part of the components of the electric rotating and locking structure of the seat into a unified seat, so that they can move flexibly during the rotation of the seat, improves the compactness and coordination of the whole structure, and also helps to simplify the assembly process and improve the stability of the system. The rotating positioning and locking assembly 2 further comprises a mounting cover connected with the mounting seat 25, so that the first signal sensor 24, the second signal sensor 32, the locking bolt 21 and the release switch 22 can be closed and mounted in the mounting seat 25, preventing external interference.

[0043] The toggle block 211 is arranged perpendicularly to the moving direction of the locking bolt 21, so as to effectively trigger the first signal sensor 24; the flexible locking and releasing during the electric rotation of the seat is realized through the interaction between the release switch 22 and the locking bolt 21; the abutment between the release switch 22 and the toggle block 211 enables the locking bolt 21 to correctly disengage from the first angle gear hole 51 and reset to the second angle gear hole 52 after the release switch 22 and the toggle block 211 are disengaged, so as to ensure the correct locking of the seat at the required adjustment position.

[0052] Optionally, the rotating disc 5 rotates for a period of time, and the control release motor 23 is started to drive the release switch 22 to rotate, including the steps of:

[0053] If not, the release motor 23 is controlled to start working after the first angle gear hole 51 and the locking bolt 21 are arranged staggeredly, so as to drive the release switch 22 to rotate and make the release switch 22 disengage from the limitation of the locking bolt 21; wherein the first angle gear hole 51 and the locking bolt 21 are arranged staggeredly, so as to ensure that the locking bolt 21 cannot be inserted into the first angle gear hole 51 again.

[0054] If yes, the number of the third angle gear holes is detected, the third signal sensor 4 is controlled to be powered off in the stroke range of the rotating disc 5 from the first angle gear hole 51 to the last third angle gear hole, so as to ensure that the release switch 22 always limits the position of the locking bolt 21 and prevents the locking bolt 21 from being inserted into the third angle gear hole by mistake; the third signal sensor 4 is controlled to be powered on after the last third angle gear hole is rotated, and the release motor 23 is controlled to start working, so as to drive the release switch 22 to rotate and make the release switch 22 disengage from the limitation of the locking bolt 21, so as to prepare for the insertion of the locking bolt 21 into the second angle gear hole 52, that is, when the third signal sensor 4 is triggered, the locking bolt 21 is just aligned with the second angle gear hole 52, so that the locking bolt 21 and the second angle gear hole 52 are accurately matched and locked.

The circuit board is configured as follows: When the rotating disk (5) is in the initial position, the locking pin (21) engages with the first angle stop hole (51) of the rotating disk (5) to lock it; When a preset rotation angle signal is received, the release motor (23) is controlled to start working to drive the release switch (22) to rotate, and the release switch (22) is disengaged from the second signal sensor (32); The release switch (22) pushes the locking pin (21) to move and retract. When the locking pin (21) triggers the first signal sensor (24), the release motor (23) is controlled to stop working. At this time, the locking pin (21) disengages from the first angle stop hole (51) and the power component (31) is controlled to start working to drive the rotating disk (5) to rotate. After the rotating disk (5) rotates for a period of time, the release motor (23) is controlled to start working to drive the release switch (22) to rotate. The release switch (22) disengages from the locking pin (21) until the release switch (22) triggers the second signal sensor (32), at which point the release motor (23) is controlled to stop working. When the rotating disk (5) rotates to the preset rotation angle, the rotating disk (5) triggers the third signal sensor (4) to control the power component (31) to stop working, and the locking pin (21) is aligned with the second angle position hole (52) of the rotating disk (5), and is reset and popped out under the force of the reset member (26) to cooperate with the second angle position hole (52) for locking, so as to realize the adjustment of the rotating disk (5) to the required adjustment position.

The electric rotating locking structure for a seat according to claim 5, characterized in that, The locking pin (21) is provided with a toggle block (211) suitable for abutting against the release switch (22). After the release switch (22) rotates to abut against the toggle block (211), it can push the locking pin (21) to move so that the locking pin (21) disengages from the first angle stop hole (51). When the release switch (22) and the toggle block (211) disengage from each other and the locking pin (21) is aligned with the second angle stop hole (52) of the rotating disk (5), the locking pin (21) is reset and popped out under the force of the reset member (26) to lock with the second angle stop hole (52).

7. The electric rotating locking structure for a seat according to claim 6, characterized in that, The release switch (22) is provided with a first guide surface (221), and the toggle block (211) is provided with a second guide surface (212). When the locking pin (21) is completely disengaged from the first angle stop hole (51), the first guide surface (221) abuts against the second guide surface (212). When the release switch (22) is rotated again, the first guide surface (221) can slide relative to the second guide surface (212) so that the release switch (22) and the toggle block (211) disengage from each other.
