Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of seat height adjustment valve mechanisms, in particular to a seat height adjustment valve mechanism. Background Art
[0002] The car is one of the most significant cultural symbols of the 20th century. It has changed people's lifestyles, time and space, and values, and has made great contributions to the material wealth and spiritual civilization of human society. Car seats are important parts of the car body, generally consisting of basic parts such as the seat cushion and its frame, the backrest and its frame, the headrest, and the corresponding guiding and adjusting mechanisms.
[0003] The car seat system is used to support the driver and passengers in the car, and provide effective restraint for the driver and passengers under the premise of ensuring convenient entry and exit and driving operation. The car seat system should provide the expected adjustability and comfort of long-distance driving for the driver and passengers. When the door is closed and within the entire adjustment range of the seat, the operation of the seat system should be suitable for intuitive adjustment and control by drivers and passengers of all body shapes. At the same time, the car seat is also part of the vehicle safety performance. The rationality and quality of the car seat design directly affect the safety and comfort of the occupants.
[0004] The air suspension seat adjustment mechanism of heavy-duty vehicles is composed of a height adjustment valve and an air spring. The cab air circuit is connected to the air spring through the height adjustment valve. When the vehicle encounters bumpy roads during driving, the height adjustment valve and the air spring cooperate to achieve a shock-absorbing function, thereby improving the comfort of the driver and passengers.
[0005] However, the current height adjustment valve requires the cooperation of a trigger structure. The trigger structure and the valve body are separate structures, the gear position is not clear, and the matching accuracy is high. It is very difficult to design and arrange it. In addition, the shock-absorbing seats of heavy trucks require a higher suspension stroke, which requires a larger stroke of the height adjustment valve. The seats of light trucks or passenger cars require a low suspension stroke. The traditional height adjustment valve stroke suitable for light truck seats or passenger car seats is short and cannot be used for heavy truck shock-absorbing seats. The height adjustment valve stroke suitable for heavy truck shock-absorbing seats is long and cannot be used for light truck seats or passenger car seats, and has a low utilization rate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] A seat height adjustment valve mechanism, such as Figure 1-13 , including two oppositely arranged slide rails 1 fixed on the carriage, each slide rail 1 is slidably connected with a slider 101, and a shock absorber lower frame 2 slidably connected to the slide rail 1 is fixed on the side of the two sliders 101 away from the slide rail 1. An electric push rod for controlling the movement of the shock absorber lower frame 2 is provided on the carriage. The electric push rod provides power to drive the shock absorber lower frame 2 connected to the extended end of the electric push rod to move, thereby driving the seat to move. The slide rail 1 and the slider 101 cooperate to guide the movement of the shock absorber lower frame 2, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the seat position.
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4A shock absorber upper frame 3 is arranged directly above the shock absorber lower frame 2. The shock absorber upper frame 3 and the shock absorber lower frame 2 are connected by two relatively arranged support components 4. The support component 4 includes a scissors outer frame 401 and a scissors inner frame 402 that are combined in a scissors shape. The adjacent scissors inner frames 402 are hinged to the center of the scissors outer frames 401. The ends of the two scissors outer frames 401 are fixedly connected by two outer cross bars 403, and the ends of the two scissors inner frames 402 are fixed by two inner cross bars 404. The two scissors outer frames 401 and the two outer cross bars 403 as well as the two scissors inner frames 402 and the two inner cross bars 404 are all integrated into a square frame structure.
[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4 , sliding grooves 5 are provided on both sides of the inner walls of the shock absorber lower frame 2 and the shock absorber upper frame 3, one of the two ends of the inner cross bar 404 located at the bottom enters the sliding groove 5 of the shock absorber lower frame 2 and is slidably connected to the shock absorber lower frame 2, and the other two ends of the inner cross bar 404 located at the top are hingedly connected to the shock absorber upper frame 3, one of the two ends of the outer cross bar 403 located at the top enters the sliding groove 5 of the shock absorber upper frame 3 and is slidably connected to the shock absorber upper frame 3, and the other two ends of the outer cross bar 403 located at the bottom are hingedly connected to the shock absorber lower frame 2, and the seat is supported by the cooperation of the scissors inner frame 402, the inner cross bar 404, the scissors outer frame 401, the outer cross bar 403, the shock absorber upper frame 3 and the shock absorber lower frame 2, so that the seat can move stably in the vertical direction.
[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4 An upper support 6 is fixed at the middle position of the shock absorber upper frame 3, and a lower support 7 is fixed at the middle position of the shock absorber lower frame 2. A damper 8 is arranged between the shock absorber upper frame 3 and the shock absorber lower frame 2. The extended end of the damper 8 is hinged with the upper support 6 by bolts, and the bottom end of the damper 8 is hinged with the shock absorber lower frame 2 by bolts. The damper 8 is an existing structure, so it is not described in detail here. A bracket 9 is arranged on the side of the damper 8 and is located between the shock absorber upper frame 3 and the shock absorber lower frame 2. The top of the bracket 9 is hinged with the upper support 6 by bolts, and the hinge point of the bracket 9 and the upper support 6 is coaxially arranged with the hinge point of the extended end of the damper 8 and the upper support 6. A height adjustment valve assembly 10 is arranged on the bracket 9. A mounting seat 11 is integrated between the two scissors inner frames 402, and the mounting seat 11 and the lower support 7 are movably connected by an air spring 12.
[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4 By adjusting the valve assembly 10 to provide power, the external air source is controlled to inflate or deflate the air spring 12, thereby driving one of the inner cross bars 404 and the outer cross bar 403 to slide on the shock absorber upper frame 3 and the shock absorber lower frame 2, thereby realizing the seat lifting.
[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 and Figure 4 The height adjustment valve assembly 10 includes a valve body 1001 with a hollow inner cavity. The end of the valve body 1001 away from the bracket 9 is hingedly connected to the shock absorber lower frame 2. The hinge connection point between the valve body 1001 and the shock absorber lower frame 2 and the hinge connection point between the damper 8 and the shock absorber lower frame 2 are coaxially arranged.
[0043] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 and Figure 7 and Figure 8 and Fig. 9 A piston shaft 1002 is arranged in the middle position of the inner cavity of the valve body 1001, and a movable opening 1003 adapted to the piston shaft 1002 is opened at one end of the valve body 1001 facing the bracket 9. One end of the piston shaft 1002 passes through the valve body 1001 through the movable opening 1003 and is slidably connected to the valve body 1001, and a valve core 1004 is fixed to the other end. The center line of the valve core 1004 and the piston shaft 1002 coincides with the center line of the valve body 1001, and the diameter of the valve core 1004 is larger than the diameter of the piston shaft 1002.
[0044] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 and Figure 7 and Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The inner cavity of the valve body 1001 is sequentially arranged with a head press-fitting frame 1005, a middle press-fitting frame 1006, an end cover 1007 and a tail press-fitting frame 1008 which are integrated with the valve body 1001 along the center line direction of the valve body 1001. The head press-fitting frame 1005 is sleeved outside the piston shaft 1002 and is slidably connected to the piston shaft 1002. The head press-fitting frame 1005 plays a guiding and supporting role in the movement of the piston shaft 1002. The middle press-fitting frame 1006, the end cover 1007 and the tail press-fitting frame 1008 are sleeved outside the valve core 1004 and are slidably connected to the valve core 1004. The middle press-fitting frame 1006, the end cover 1007 and the tail press-fitting frame 1008 play a guiding and supporting role in the movement of the valve core 1004.
[0045] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 and Figure 7 and Figure 8 and Fig. 9The inner cavity of the valve core 1004 is divided into an air intake chamber 1009, an inflation chamber 1010 and an air deflation chamber 1011 by the piston shaft 1002, the valve core 1004, the head press-fit frame 1005, the middle press-fit frame 1006, the end cover 1007 and the tail press-fit frame 1008. The valve core 1004 is provided with an air intake pipe 1012 connected to the air intake chamber 1009, and the air intake pipe 1012 is connected to an external air source. The valve core 1004 is also provided with an air bag interface pipe 1013 connected to the inflation chamber 1010, and the air bag interface pipe 1013 is connected to the air spring 12. The valve core 1004 is provided with a deflation pipe 1014 connected to the deflation chamber 1011, and the deflation pipe 1014 is provided with a muffler 1015.
[0046] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 and Figure 7 and Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The inner cavity of the air inlet chamber 1009 is provided with a head press-fitting sealing ring 1016 located between the movable port 1003 and the head press-fitting frame 1005 and sleeved on the outside of the piston shaft 1002. The head press-fitting sealing ring 1016 closes the gap between the movable port 1003, the piston shaft 1002 and the head press-fitting frame 1005 and does not affect the sliding of the piston shaft 1002. A valve core 1004 is sleeved between the middle press-fitting frame 1006 and the end cover 1007. The middle press-fitted sealing ring 1017 outside the valve core 1004 seals the gap between the valve core 1004 and the valve body 1001 without affecting the sliding of the valve core 1004 and the piston shaft 1002. The tail press-fitted frame 1008 is provided with a tail press-fitted sealing ring 1018 sleeved on the outside of the valve core 1004. The tail press-fitted sealing ring 1018 closes the gap between the valve core 1004 and the valve body 1001 without affecting the sliding of the valve core 1004.
[0047] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 and Figure 7 and Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In the initial state, through the cooperation of the head press-fitted sealing ring 1016, the middle press-fitted sealing ring 1017, the tail press-fitted sealing ring 1018, the valve core 1004 and the piston shaft 1002, the air chambers in the air intake chamber 1009, the inflation chamber 1010 and the deflation chamber 1011 are balanced and not connected to each other. The head press-fitted frame 1005, the middle press-fitted frame 1006, the end cover 1007 and the tail press-fitted frame 1008 support the valve core 1004 and the piston shaft 1002 and guide the movement of the valve core 1004 and the piston shaft 1002.
[0048] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 and Figure 7 and Figure 8 and Fig. 9In order to make the air intake chamber 1009, the inflation chamber 1010 and the deflation chamber 1011 interconnected so as to facilitate the inflation and deflation of the air spring 12, the outer surfaces of both ends of the valve core 1004 have outer chamfers 1019, and the middle press-fit frame 1006, the end cover 1007, and the tail press-fit frame 1008 all have a certain gap with the outer wall of the valve core 1004 and form a gap flow channel. The gap between the end cover 1007 and the valve core 1004 is slightly larger than the gap between the middle press-fit frame 1006 and the valve core 1004.
[0049] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 and Figure 7 and Figure 8 and Fig. 9 When the outer chamfer 1019 position of one end of the valve core 1004 enters the inner cavity of the end cover 1007 and the non-outer chamfer 1019 position of the valve core 1004 does not contact the middle press-fit sealing ring 1017, the outer chamfer 1019 position of the other end of the valve core 1004 enters the deflation chamber 1011, and the tail press-fit sealing ring 1018 closes the gap between the valve core 1004 and the valve body 1001. At this time, the air intake chamber 1009 and the inflation chamber 1010 are connected, and the inflation chamber 1010 is not connected with the deflation chamber 1011. The gas entering the inflation chamber 1010 passes through the inflation chamber 1010 and the airbag interface tube 1013 in the flow direction and enters the air spring 12, thereby realizing the upward movement of the seat.
[0050] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 and Figure 7 and Figure 8 and Fig. 9 When the outer chamfer 1019 at the other end of the valve core 1004 enters the inner cavity of the tail press-fit frame 1008 and the non-chamfered position of the valve core 1004 does not contact the tail press-fit sealing ring 1018, the middle press-fit sealing ring 1017 closes the gap between the valve core 1004 and the valve body 1001. At this time, the inflation chamber 1010 is connected to the deflation chamber 1011, and the gas in the air spring 12 passes through the airbag interface tube 1013, the inflation chamber 1010, and the deflation chamber 1011 in turn along the flow direction, and is discharged through the deflation pipe 1014. A pull wire for controlling the movement of the piston shaft 1002 is provided on the seat. This is an existing structure and can be any existing mechanism that drives the piston shaft 1002 to move, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0051] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 and Fig. 9A guide rail 13 is fixed to the side of the bracket 9 facing the valve body 1001, and a slideway 14 adapted thereto is slidably connected to the guide rail 13. The slideway 14 is fixed to the valve body 1001 on the side away from the guide rail 13. When the pneumatic spring is inflated, the shock absorber upper frame 3 rises, and the valve body 1001 and the bracket 9 produce relative displacement. The cooperation between the guide rail 13 and the slideway 14 plays a guiding and supporting role in the movement of the bracket 9.
[0052] like Fig. 9 The valve body 1001 is composed of an upper valve body 1001-1 and a lower valve body 1001-2 of an integrated structure, the air inlet pipe 1012 is connected to the upper valve body 1001-1, and the air bag interface pipe 1013 and the air release port are connected to the lower valve body 1001-2.
[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 4 A tilt adjustment frame 15 is installed outside the shock absorber upper frame 3, and the tilt adjustment frame 15 is connected to the seat at a side away from the shock absorber upper frame 3.
[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 4 However, the load value of the air spring 12 is proportional to the descending speed of the tilt adjustment frame 15. The heavier the person sitting on the seat, the greater the load, and the faster the tilt adjustment frame 15 carrying the load descends to adapt to the increased load. Therefore, when the person sitting on the seat is too heavy, the tilt adjustment frame 15 descends too fast. This situation will affect the comfort of the seat and pose a safety hazard. In order to solve the above problems, an automatic control component 16 for controlling the gas flow rate is provided on the airbag interface tube 1013.
[0055] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 and Fig.12 and Fig.13The automatic control component 16 includes an upper shell 1601 and a lower shell 1602 with a hollow inner cavity and an opening on one side. The upper shell 1601 and the lower shell 1602 are detachably fixedly connected by a flange. The upper shell 1601 and the lower shell 1602 are in a sealed state when connected. The bottom of the inner cavity of the lower shell 1602 is integrated with a lower conduit 1603 and an upper conduit 1604. The upper conduit 1604 and the lower conduit 1603 are hollow and interconnected. The diameter of the lower conduit 1603 is larger than that of the upper conduit 1604. The gap between the lower shell 1602 and the lower conduit 1603 is integrated with an annular partition 160 5. An annular connecting plate 1606 is integrated at the top of the inner groove of the upper shell 1601. The connecting plate 1606 extends to the inner cavity of the lower shell 1602 and contacts the annular partition 1605. A rubber sealing ring is fixed on the side of the connecting plate 1606 away from the upper shell 1601 to close the gap between the annular partition 1605 and the connecting plate 1606. The inner cavity of the upper shell 1601 is divided into a flow chamber 1607 and a closed chamber 1608 by the connecting plate 1606. A rubber sealing ring is provided in the closed chamber 1608 to further reduce the possibility of gas in the flow chamber 1607 entering the closed chamber 1608.
[0056] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 and Fig.12 and Fig.13 The upper conduit 1604 is provided with a first connecting groove 1609 connecting the inner cavity of the upper conduit 1604 and the flow chamber 1607, and the lower conduit 1603 is provided with a plurality of second connecting grooves 1610 connecting the inner cavity of the lower conduit 1603 and the flow chamber 1607. The diameter of the first connecting groove 1609 is larger than the diameter of the second connecting groove 1610. The inner cavity of the upper shell 1601 is also provided with a sleeve 161 which is sleeved outside the upper conduit 1604 and the lower conduit 1603 and is slidably connected to the upper conduit 1604 and the lower conduit 1603. 1. The bottom end of the sleeve 1611 is fixed to the annular partition 1605 by a limit spring 1612 sleeved outside the lower conduit 1603. A certain gap is left between the sleeve 1611 and the connecting plate 1606, the upper conduit 1604 and the lower conduit 1603 for gas flow. The upper shell 1601 is integrated with an A connecting tube 1613 connecting the airbag interface tube 1013 and the flow chamber 1607, and the lower shell 1602 is integrated with a B connecting tube 1614 connecting the inflation chamber 1010 and the inner cavity of the lower conduit 1603.
[0057] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 and Fig.12 and Fig.13In the initial state, the top of the sleeve 1611 is in contact with the groove top of the circulation chamber 1607 under the spring pressure, the sleeve 1611 closes the first connecting groove 1609, and the inner cavity of the lower guide tube 1603 is connected with the circulation chamber 1607 through the second connecting groove 1610. When the air spring 12 is inflated, the gas in the inflation chamber 1010 enters the inner cavity of the lower guide tube 1603 through the B connecting tube 1614, and the gas entering the inner cavity of the lower guide tube 1603 enters the circulation chamber 1607 through several second connecting grooves. At this time, the sleeve 1611 is always in contact with the groove top of the circulation chamber 1607 under the spring pressure, and the gas entering the circulation chamber 1607 enters the A connecting tube 1613 through the gap between the sleeve 1611 and the connecting plate 1606, and then enters the airbag interface tube 1013 to inflate the air spring 12. Since there are several second connecting grooves, the inflation rate is not affected.
[0058] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 and Fig.12 and Fig.13 During the deflation process, when the seat is not loaded, the gas in the air spring 12 passes through the airbag interface tube 1013 and the A connecting tube 1613 in turn and enters the circulation chamber 1607. At this time, the gas pressure is less than the spring elastic force, and the gas still enters the second connecting groove through the gap between the sleeve 1611 and the connecting plate 1606, and enters the inner cavity of the lower guide tube 1603 through the second connecting groove, and then is discharged into the inflation chamber 1010 through the B connecting tube 1614, which still does not affect the seat downward movement rate.
[0059] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 and Fig.12 and Fig.13 When the weight of the person on the seat is too large, the gas in the air spring 12 enters the circulation chamber 1607. At this time, the air pressure is greater than the spring force, and the gas pushes the sleeve 1611 downward. The sleeve 1611 moves downward and closes the second connecting groove, exposing the first connecting groove. The gas in the circulation chamber 1607 enters the inner cavity of the lower guide tube 1603 through the first connecting groove and is discharged into the inflation chamber 1010. The number of the first connecting grooves is less than the number of the second connecting grooves, so that the gas in the circulation chamber 1607 can enter the inflation chamber 1010 slowly and evenly, thereby improving the comfort of the user.
[0060] When in use, the user sits on the seat and needs to raise the seat height, the staff controls the movement of the piston shaft 1002, and the movement of the piston shaft 1002 will drive the valve core 1004 of the integrated structure to move, and the outer chamfer 1019 position of one end of the valve core 1004 enters the inner cavity of the end cover 1007 and the non-outer chamfer 1019 position of the valve core 1004 does not contact the middle press-fit sealing ring 1017, and the outer chamfer 1019 position of the other end of the valve core 1004 enters the deflation chamber 1011, and the tail press-fit sealing ring 1018 closes the gap between the valve core 1004 and the valve body 1001, at this time, the air intake chamber 1009 is connected with the inflation chamber 1010, and the inflation chamber 1010 is not connected with the deflation chamber 1011, and the external air source enters the air intake chamber 1009 and the inflation chamber 1010 through the air intake pipe 1012, and enters the inflation chamber 1011. The gas in the chamber 1010 enters the inner cavity of the lower conduit 1603 through the B connecting pipe 1614 along the flow direction, and the gas entering the inner cavity of the lower conduit 1603 enters the circulation chamber 1607 through a plurality of second connecting grooves. At this time, the sleeve 1611 always contacts the groove top of the circulation chamber 1607 under the spring pressure, and the gas entering the circulation chamber 1607 enters the A connecting pipe 1613 through the gap between the sleeve 1611 and the connecting plate 1606, and then enters the airbag interface tube 1013 to inflate the air spring 12. After the air spring 12 is inflated, it drives one of the inner cross bars 404 and the outer cross bar 403 to slide on the shock absorber upper frame 3 and the shock absorber lower frame 2, and the scissors inner frame 402 and the scissors outer frame 401 rotate, so that the seat is moved up, and at the same time, the shock absorber upper frame 3 rises, and the valve body 1001 and the bracket 9 produce relative displacement;
[0061] When the seat height needs to be lowered, the control piston shaft 1002 moves in the opposite direction, the outer chamfer 1019 at the other end of the valve core 1004 enters the inner cavity of the tail press-fit frame 1008, and the non-chamfered position of the valve core 1004 does not contact the tail press-fit sealing ring 1018, and the middle press-fit sealing ring 1017 closes the gap between the valve core 1004 and the valve body 1001. At this time, the inflation chamber 1010 is connected with the deflation chamber 1011, and the gas in the air spring 12 passes through the airbag interface tube 1013 and the A connecting tube 1613 in the flow direction, and enters the flow chamber 1607;
[0062] When the seat is not loaded, the gas pressure is less than the spring force, and the gas still enters the second connecting groove through the gap between the sleeve 1611 and the connecting plate 1606, and enters the inner cavity of the lower guide tube 1603 through the second connecting groove, and then is discharged into the inflation chamber 1010 through the B connecting pipe 1614;
[0063] When the weight of the person on the seat is too large, the gas in the air spring 12 enters the circulation chamber 1607. At this time, the air pressure is greater than the spring elastic force, and the gas pushes the sleeve 1611 downward. The sleeve 1611 moves downward and closes the second connecting groove, exposing the first connecting groove. The gas in the circulation chamber 1607 enters the inner cavity of the lower guide tube 1603 through the first connecting groove and is discharged into the inflation chamber 1010. The number of the first connecting grooves is less than the number of the second connecting grooves, so that the gas in the circulation chamber 1607 can enter the inflation chamber 1010 slowly and evenly, thereby improving the comfort of the user.
[0064] The gas entering the inflation chamber 1010 enters the deflation chamber 1011 and is discharged through the deflation pipe 1014 , and the noise is reduced by the muffler 1015 .
