Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of seats, and in particular relates to a front-rear adjustment mechanism for a seat. Background Art

[0002] Space on airplanes or high-speed trains is very precious, and the front and rear distances of seats installed on them are mostly relatively fixed, while the leg space required by different drivers or passengers is different. In addition, airplanes in flight or high-speed trains in travel often encounter environmental changes such as airflow, pressure, road surface, and tracks, and are constantly bumped and vibrated. Airplane seats, high-speed train seats, or vehicle seats are not allowed to shake due to loose fixation, which brings difficulties and troubles to some special situations where the front and rear distances of seats need to be adjusted. Currently, airplane or high-speed train seats are basically fixed or professionals use special tools to manually adjust a single locking block to achieve the front and rear adjustment function of the seats, which cannot meet the needs of users to adjust the seats themselves. This is an adjustment and fixing method that urgently needs to be solved for airplane or high-speed train seats. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a seat front and rear adjustment mechanism which has a simple structure and is convenient for adjusting the front and rear position of the seat.

[0006] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the front side and / or the rear side of the shell is provided with a mounting plate extending toward the front side and / or the rear side, the lower sides of the first limit block are respectively provided with limit arms extending into the T-slot, and the middle is provided with a first groove, the mounting plate extends into the first groove, and the first limit block is slidably fixed on the shell by a screw rod passing through the upper arm plate of the first groove, the first groove, the mounting plate and the bottom wall of the first groove, and a first return spring is mounted on the screw rod between the upper arm plate of the first groove and the mounting plate.

[0007] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the second limit block includes a cylinder whose front and rear sides can respectively match the arc groove and can be inserted into the arc groove, and the front and rear cylinders are connected by a connecting block in the middle, and the connecting block is fixed with the pull rod by bolts. The pull rod passes through the first through hole in the middle of the shell and extends out of the shell. The middle and lower parts of the first through hole are expanded to form a spring chamber, and one end of the second return spring mounted on the pull rod in the spring chamber is connected to the upper wall of the spring chamber, and the other end is connected to the upper surface of the connecting block.

[0008] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, a vertical weight-reducing through hole is provided in the middle of the cylinder.

[0009] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the arcuate surfaces on the left and right sides of the cylinder match the arcuate surface of the arcuate groove.

[0010] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, a connecting joint is fixed on the pull rod extending out of the shell, and the lower end surface of the connecting joint is abutted against the upper surface of the shell to limit the downward extension length of the second limit block.

[0011] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, a wire terminal mounting hole is provided on the connecting block.

[0012] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, more than two seat leg mounting holes are arranged at intervals on the shell.

[0013] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the lower surface of the shell is provided with a second groove connected front to back for the first limit block and the second limit block to move up and down, and torsion spring abutment positions are correspondingly provided on the opposite sides of the first limit block and the second limit block. The torsion spring is hinged in the second groove between the first limit block and the second limit block through a pin or a screw, and one end of the torsion spring abuts against the torsion spring abutment position of the first limit block, and the other end abuts against the torsion spring abutment position of the second limit block.

[0014] The outstanding advantages of the present invention over the prior art are:

[0016] 2. The present invention adopts the seat slide rails commonly used in current large aircraft, and invents and innovates on this basis, so that the seats installed with the current mechanism can be adjusted without replacing the slide rails on airplanes or high-speed trains, which is simple and worry-free for airlines and OEMs.

[0017] 3. The present invention has a simple and compact structure, is easy to install, and does not significantly increase the weight of the seat, thus meeting the strict weight requirements of airlines and large-scale production, with obvious cost-effectiveness.

[0018] 4. The present invention is modular and easy to disassemble and assemble, thus facilitating the repair and maintenance of the seat.

[0019] 5. The torsion spring of the present invention has a pre-stress. When installed, the torsion spring is compressed by the force of the second limit block to prevent loosening and the noise caused by it. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, a vertical through hole 42 for weight reduction is provided in the middle of the cylinder 41 .

[0033] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the arcuate surfaces on the left and right sides of the cylinder 41 match the arcuate surface of the arcuate groove 11 .

[0034] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, a connecting joint 48 is fixed to the pull rod 46 extending out of the shell 20, and the lower end surface of the connecting joint 48 abuts against the upper surface of the shell 20 to limit the downward extension length of the second limit block 40.

[0038] When the present invention is used, the seat leg is bolted to the mounting hole 24 of the shell 20, and the second limit block 40 is pulled upward by the pull wire installed on the pull wire terminal mounting hole 47 to disengage the arc groove 11 of the slide rail 01, so that the second limit block 40 is unlocked. When the second limit block 40 is unlocked, the torsion spring simultaneously drives the first limit block to move downward, and also disengages from the contact with the upper surface in the T-slot 12 to unlock; the pull wire terminal is released, and under the action of the return elastic force of the second return spring 44, the second limit block 40 moves downward into the arc groove 11 of the slide rail 01, so that the second limit block 40 is locked, and the force of the torsion spring is released at the same time. Under the action of the return elastic force of the first return spring 33, the limit arm 31 of the first limit block 30 moves upward and contacts the upper wall in the T-slot 12. The downward unlocking of the first limit block is to completely avoid the occurrence of friction and prevent the situation of being unable to slide; the upward locking of the first limit block is to prevent the entire seat from sliding upward out of the slide rail when locked, causing danger.
