Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of seat slide rail technology, and in particular relates to a seat slide rail adjustment device. Background Technology

[0002] There are two ways to adjust car seats: manual and electric. Manual seat adjustment is faster, while electric adjustment uses a motor to adjust the seat rails, offering precise positioning, less effort, and a more luxurious feel. Currently, most cars can only achieve either electric or manual adjustment separately, and cannot simultaneously combine the precision, effortlessness, and luxury of electric adjustment with the speed of manual adjustment. This is especially true for mid-to-large SUVs / MPVs with three rows of seats, which require seat rail adjustment systems that combine both electric and manual functions to quickly move the second-row seats for easy access to the third-row passengers while retaining the electric function of the second-row seats. Summary of the Invention

[0029] To make the technical problems solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a seat slide rail adjustment device, including a power unit 100, a transmission mechanism 300 and a slide rail 200. The slide rail 200 includes a lower slide rail 201 and an upper slide rail 202 supported on the lower slide rail 201. The upper slide rail 202 is fixed on the seat, and the lower slide rail 201 is fixed on the floor of the vehicle. When adjusting the seat position, the upper slide rail 202 moves axially relative to the lower slide rail 201.

[0031] The transmission mechanism 300 includes a cable 3, a worm gear 7, a worm 1, a separable threaded component 5, a lead screw 6, and a drive bracket 2. The lead screw 6 is fixed inside the lower slide rail 201 and passes through the worm gear 7 and the separable threaded component 5 along its axial direction. The power unit 100 and the worm 1 are mounted on the upper slide rail 202, and the worm 1 is connected to the output shaft of the power unit 100.

[0032] The separable threaded component 5 is axially fixed relative to the upper slide rail 202. The separable threaded component 5 is provided with an internal threaded hole. The outer wall of the separable threaded component 5 is provided with a first locking structure. The separable threaded component 5 includes at least two sub-threaded components that can be circumferentially combined to form a complete threaded component. The separable threaded component 5 has a clamping end and an opening end. An elastic ring 9 is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the clamping end for clamping multiple sub-threaded components.

[0033] The drive bracket 2 is mounted on the upper slide rail 202 and can move axially along the lead screw 6. The drive bracket 2 has a mounting part and a separating part distributed at intervals along the axial direction of the lead screw 6. The separable threaded part 5 is located between the mounting part and the separating part. A tapered structure 23 is provided on the side of the separating part facing the opening end. The tapered structure 23 gradually contracts radially inward as it approaches the opening end. The worm gear 7 is rotatably mounted on the mounting part and is axially fixed relative to the mounting part. The worm gear 7 has a mounting hole that passes through it along its axial direction. A second locking structure is provided on the inner wall of the worm gear 7.

[0034] One end of the cable 3 is fixed to the drive bracket 2 and is used to pull the drive bracket 2 to move axially. An elastic reset element 4 is provided between the cable 3 and the upper slide rail 202. The transmission mechanism 300 has a manual operating state and an electric operating state. Pulling the cable 3, as... Figure 6 As shown, the cable 3 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic reset member 4, driving the drive bracket 2 to move axially along the lead screw 6. The worm gear 7, which is axially fixed to the mounting part, moves synchronously with the drive bracket 2. In the initial stroke of the axial movement, the worm gear 7 separates from the separable threaded member 5, and the conical structure 23 gradually approaches the separable threaded member 5. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, during the latter part of the axial movement, since the separable threaded part 5 is fixed axially to the upper slide rail 202, when the tapered structure 23 is inserted into the internal threaded hole, the tapered structure 23 can push the sub-threaded part radially outward, so that the sub-threaded part overcomes the elastic force of the elastic ring 9 and moves radially outward to disengage from the lead screw 6. The transmission mechanism 300 enters the manual working state, thereby enabling manual and rapid adjustment of the seat position and realizing the manual adjustment function of the seat slide rail adjustment device.

[0035] When the cable 3 is released, the drive bracket 2 moves in the opposite direction under the elastic force of the elastic reset member 4. The worm gear 7 moves in the opposite direction along with the drive bracket 2. In the first part of the reverse movement, the tapered structure 23 disengages from the internal threaded hole of the separable threaded member 5, causing the sub-threaded members to be tightly bound together under the elastic force of the elastic ring 9. In the second part of the reverse movement, the worm gear 7 meshes with the worm 1, the separable threaded member 5 passes into the mounting hole, the first stop structure and the second stop structure engage circumferentially, the lead screw 6 is threadedly connected to the separable threaded member 5, and the transmission mechanism 300 enters the electric working state. The power unit 100 drives the worm gear 7 to rotate through the worm 1, causing the separable threaded member 5 to rotate and move axially on the lead screw 6, thereby driving the upper slide rail 202 to move axially, so as to realize the electric adjustment function of the seat slide rail adjustment device.

[0036] In the seat slide rail adjustment device of the present invention, the power unit 100 can drive the worm wheel 7 to rotate via the worm gear 1. The separable threaded part 5, which is circumferentially stopped by the worm wheel 7, rotates and moves axially on the lead screw 6, thereby driving the upper slide rail 202 to move, thus realizing the electric adjustment of the seat position. The worm wheel 7, which is rotatably mounted on the drive bracket 2, can move axially synchronously when the cable 3 pulls the drive bracket 2, thereby separating from the separable threaded part 5 and disengaging from the worm gear 1. Furthermore, when the drive bracket 2 moves axially, the tapered structure 23 on the mounting part inserts into the internal threaded hole of the separable threaded part 5. Under the action of the tapered structure 23, the sub-threaded parts move radially outward away from each other, causing the sub-threaded parts to disengage from the lead screw 6, thereby enabling manual adjustment of the seat position. Therefore, the seat slide rail adjustment device of the present invention has both electric adjustment mode and manual adjustment mode, and the electric adjustment mode and the manual adjustment mode share a set of slide rails 200, reducing the size and cost of the seat slide rail adjustment device.

[0037] In one embodiment, two slide rails 200 are provided, arranged in parallel. Correspondingly, two transmission mechanisms 300 are provided. The power unit 100 drives the two upper slide rails 202 to move through the two transmission mechanisms 300 respectively, so that the seat moves more smoothly. Figures 1 to 8 Only one of the slide rails, 200, is displayed.

[0044] In one embodiment, the tapered structure 23 is a tapered rotating body that rotates about the axis of the lead screw 6. The tapered rotating body has a central hole that extends along the axial direction of the lead screw 6, through which the lead screw 6 passes. The tapered rotating body has high structural strength, and the contact surface between the tapered rotating body and the wall of the internal threaded hole is large, allowing each position on the sub-threaded component to withstand the thrust of the tapered rotating body, which is beneficial for the sub-threaded component to move radially outward.

[0045] In one embodiment, the drive bracket 2 includes a mounting bracket 21 and a separating bracket 22, which is detachably connected to the mounting bracket 21. The worm gear 7 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 21, and the conical rotating body is disposed on the separating bracket 22. Since the lead screw 6 passes through the conical rotating body, the worm gear 7, and the separable threaded part 5, and the worm gear 7 and the separable threaded part 5 are located between the mounting part and the separating part, the drive bracket 2 is designed as a split structure to facilitate the installation and removal of the lead screw 6, the conical rotating body, the worm gear 7, and the separable threaded part 5.

[0046] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 21 includes a mounting plate and a cantilever.

The mounting plate is provided with a limiting hole that passes through the axial direction of the lead screw 6, and a circumferential groove is provided on the outer wall of the end of the worm gear 7. The mounting plate is sleeved on the worm gear 7 and engaged in the circumferential groove. In this way, the worm gear 7 can rotate in the mounting hole, and the mounting plate engaged in the circumferential groove can also stop the worm gear 7 axially, so that the worm gear 7 can move axially synchronously with the drive bracket 2. The mounting plate has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0047] Specifically, the separation bracket 22 can be fixed to the cantilever by one of the following methods: screws, rivets, or other detachable connections.

The first fixed plate 81 and the second fixed plate 82 are provided with through holes for the lead screw 6 to pass through. The diameter of the through holes is larger than the outer wall diameter at the widest point of the tapered structure 23, so that the tapered structure 23 can pass through the through holes and be inserted into the internal thread hole of the worm gear 7.

[0050] In one embodiment, the first fixing plate 81 extends in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the lead screw 6, the upper end of the second fixing plate 82 is fixed to the first fixing plate 81, and the lower end of the second fixing plate 82 is bent away from the first fixing plate 81 to form the aforementioned limiting groove between the second fixing plate 82 and the first fixing plate 81.

One end of the cable 3 passes through the fixed bracket 8 and is fixed to the separation part. The elastic reset member 4 is provided between the fixed bracket 8 and the separation part.

[0054] In one embodiment, the elastic reset member 4 is a spring, which is sleeved on the cable 3 structure.
