DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0018] The present invention provides a side-folding observer seat, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, it includes a skeleton unit 100, a seat basin unit 200, a lap unit 300 and a linkage unit 400, one side of the skeleton unit 100 is rotatably connected to the first side wall plate; one side of the seat basin unit 200 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the skeleton unit 100; the lap unit 300 includes a lap seat 310 and a lap shaft 320, the lap seat 310 is fixedly connected to the second side wall plate and has a lap hole 311, the lap shaft 320 is slidably connected to the skeleton unit 100, when the skeleton unit 100 is rotatably connected to the first side wall plate When one side wall panel is vertical, the lap shaft 320 faces the lap hole 311; the linkage unit 400 connects the seat basin unit 200 and the lap shaft 320, and the lap shaft 320 can be linked with the seat basin unit 200 via the linkage unit 400. When the seat basin unit 200 rotates away from the frame unit 100, the lap shaft 320 moves toward the lap hole 311. When the seat basin unit 200 rotates close to the frame unit 100, the lap shaft 320 moves out of the lap hole 311.

[0019] When the seat is in the stowed state, the seat basin unit 200 is close to the frame unit 100, and the seat basin unit 200 is in a vertical state. At this time, the frame unit 100 is parallel to the first side wall plate and is attached to the first side wall plate. When the seat is used, the frame unit 100 is first rotated to make it perpendicular to the first side wall plate. At this time, the lap shaft 320 is facing the lap hole 311, and then the seat basin unit 200 is rotated away from the frame unit 100 until the seat basin unit 200 is in a horizontal state. Since the lap shaft 320 can be linked with the seat basin unit 200 via the linkage unit 400, when the seat basin unit 200 rotates away from the frame unit 100, the lap shaft 320 moves toward the lap hole 311. The seat can be overlapped with the second side wall panel through the docking of the lap shaft 320 and the lap seat 310. When the observer leaves the seat, the seat basin unit 200 rotates close to the frame unit 100 until the seat basin unit 200 is in a horizontal state. In the vertical state, when the seat basin unit 200 rotates close to the frame unit 100, the lap shaft 320 moves out from the lap hole 311, and the seat can be separated from the second side wall panel by separating the lap shaft 320 from the lap seat 310. Then the frame unit 100 is rotated to make the frame unit 100 parallel to the first side wall panel and abut against the first side wall panel, and the seat is in the storage state again. The observer seat realizes the installation of the seat and the left and right wall panels of the aircraft, meets the working conditions requirements of seat use and seat storage, and solves the matching needs of aircraft observer seats under specific aircraft models. When the seat is in working state, the other side of the seat can be overlapped with the second side wall panel, and the other side of the seat can be effectively supported. The strength requirements can be shared by the wall panels on both sides, thereby reducing the weight of the wall panels and seat structures, improving operational economy, and increasing the service life of seats and wall panels.

Both ends of the elastic member 525 are respectively connected to the frame 130. The frame 130 and the other end of the connecting rod 522 are connected so that the other end of the connecting rod 522 is located in the first position. When the other end of the connecting rod 522 is located in the first position, the other end of the locking pin 510 moves into the first clamping hole 111 or the second clamping hole 112. When the other end of the locking pin 510 needs to be moved out of the first clamping hole 111 or the second clamping hole 112, the handle 524 is rotated. The handle 524 drives the other end of the connecting rod 522 to the second position via the rotating shaft 521, and then drives the other end of the locking pin 510 to move out of the first clamping hole 111 or the second clamping hole 112 via the steel cable 523. The steel cable 523 has a certain rigidity and can play a transmission role.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, the elastic member 525 is a spring.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 3The laterally retractable observer seat also includes a back panel unit 600 and a transmission unit 700.

The bottom of the back panel unit 600 is rotatably connected to the frame unit 100, and the top of the back panel unit 600 is slidably connected to the frame unit 100. One end of the transmission unit 700 is connected to one side of the seat basin unit 200, and the other end of the transmission unit 700 is connected to the bottom of the back panel unit 600 to convert the reciprocating rotation of the seat basin unit 200 into the reciprocating rotation of the back panel unit 600. When the seat basin unit 200 rotates away from the frame unit 100, the top of the back panel unit 600 rotates outward and gradually moves out of the frame unit 100. The seat basin When the unit 200 rotates close to the frame unit 100, the top of the back panel unit 600 rotates inwards and gradually moves into the frame unit 100. The backrest unit is linked with the folding action of the seat basin unit 200. When the seat is in a stowed state, as the seat basin unit 200 rotates close to the frame unit 100, the top of the back panel unit 600 rotates inwards and gradually moves into the frame unit 100, thereby reducing the thickness of the seat when it is stowed. When the seat is in a working state, as the seat basin unit 200 rotates away from the frame unit 100, the top of the back panel unit 600 rotates outwards and gradually moves out of the frame unit 100, thereby improving the riding comfort. The rotation of the seat basin unit 200 drives the backrest unit to work in conjunction, thereby realizing the comfortable posture adjustment of the backrest unit.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5, a guide groove 133 is provided on the two inner side walls of the frame 130, and the guide groove 133 is inclined. The back panel unit 600 includes a first limiting shaft 610, a second limiting shaft 620 and a back panel 630. The first limiting shaft 610 and the second limiting shaft 620 are horizontally arranged in the frame 130 from top to bottom. The two ends of the first limiting shaft 610 are respectively slidably arranged in the corresponding two guide grooves 133. The two ends of the second limiting shaft 620 are rotatably connected to the frame 130. The top of the back panel 630 is fixedly connected to the first limiting shaft 610, and the bottom of the back panel 630 is fixedly connected to the second limiting shaft 620. The seat is When in the stowed state, while the other side of the seat basin 220 rotates upward and approaches the frame 130, the first limit shaft 610 rotates inward around the second limit shaft 620 and slides in the guide groove 133, and the first limit shaft 610 gradually moves into the frame 130, thereby reducing the thickness of the seat when it is stowed. When the seat is in the working state, while the other side of the seat basin 220 rotates downward and away from the frame 130, the first limit shaft 610 rotates outward around the second limit shaft 620 and slides in the guide groove 133, and the first limit shaft 610 gradually moves out of the frame 130, thereby improving the riding comfort.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The back panel unit 600 further includes a back pad 640 , which is detachably disposed on the back panel 630 , and the back pad 640 improves the comfort of the observer.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5The transmission unit 700 includes two hanging plates 710, which are relatively arranged on both sides of the seat basin 220 and the back plate 630. The hanging plates 710 are L-shaped structures. One plate surface of the hanging plate 710 is fixedly connected to the seat basin 220, and the other plate surface of the hanging plate 710 is fixedly connected to the second limiting shaft 620. When the other side of the seat basin 220 rotates upward and approaches the frame 130, one plate surface of the hanging plate 710 will be driven to rotate upward, and then the other plate surface of the hanging plate 710 will be driven to rotate downward. The first limiting shaft 610 rotates inward around the second limiting shaft 620 and is fixedly connected to the guide groove 133. The first limiting shaft 610 slides and gradually moves into the frame 130, thereby reducing the thickness of the seat when it is stored. When the other side of the seat basin 220 rotates downward and away from the frame 130, it drives one surface of the hanging plate 710 to rotate downward, and then drives the other surface of the hanging plate 710 to rotate upward. The first limiting shaft 610 rotates outward around the second limiting shaft 620 and slides in the guide groove 133. The first limiting shaft 610 gradually moves out of the frame 130, thereby improving the comfort when riding. The rotation of the seat basin 220 drives the back panel 630 to rotate in conjunction, thereby realizing the comfortable posture adjustment of the back panel 630.

[0037] In order to better understand the present invention, the following Figure 1 - Figure 7 The working principle of the technical solution of the present invention is described in detail: When the seat is in the stowed state, the seat basin 220 automatically rotates upward and approaches the frame 130 under the elastic action of the torsion spring until the seat basin 220 is in a vertical state. At this time, the frame 130 is parallel to the first side wall panel and is close to the first side wall panel. When the seat is used, the handle 524 is rotated, and the handle 524 drives the other end of the connecting rod 522 to rotate upward via the rotating shaft 521, and then drives the other end of the locking pin 510 to move out of the first card hole 111 via the steel cable 523. The frame 130 is in the unlocked state. The frame 130 is rotated so that it is perpendicular to the wall panel. At this time, the lap shaft 320 is toward the lap hole 311, and then rotated downward. The other side of the seat basin 220 is rotated downward and away from the frame 130, and the connecting rod 430 is driven to swing through the adapter plate 410 and the joint bearing 420. The connecting rod 430 drives the lap shaft 320 to extend, and the other end of the lap shaft 320 gradually moves into the lap seat 310. The seat can be connected with the second side wall panel by docking the lap shaft 320 with the lap seat 310. When the other side of the seat basin 220 is rotated downward and away from the frame 130, one surface of the hanging plate 710 will be driven to rotate downward, and then the other surface of the hanging plate 710 will be driven to rotate upward. , the first limiting shaft 610 rotates outward around the second limiting shaft 620 and slides in the guide groove 133, the first limiting shaft 610 gradually moves out of the frame 130, and drives the top of the back panel 630 to move out of the frame unit 100, thereby improving the comfort when riding, when the observer leaves the seat, the other side of the seat basin 220 rotates upward and approaches the frame 130 until the seat basin 220 is in a vertical state, because when the other side of the seat basin 220 rotates upward and approaches the frame 130, the connecting rod 430 is driven to swing through the adapter plate 410 and the joint bearing 420, and the connecting rod 430 drives the retraction of the lap shaft 320, and the lap The other end of the shaft 320 gradually moves out from the lap seat 310, and the seat can be separated from the second side wall panel by separating the lap shaft 320 from the lap seat 310. When the other side of the seat basin 220 rotates upward and approaches the frame 130, it will drive one surface of the hanging plate 710 to rotate upward, and then drive the other surface of the hanging plate 710 to rotate downward. The first limiting shaft 610 rotates inward around the second limiting shaft 620 and slides in the guide groove 133. The first limiting shaft 610 gradually moves into the frame 130, and drives the top of the back plate 630 to gradually move into the frame 130, thereby reducing the thickness of the seat when it is stored. Then the frame 130 is rotated.The frame 130 is made parallel to the wall panel and abuts against the first side wall panel, and the seat is in the stowed state again. The observer seat realizes the installation of the seat and the left and right wall panels of the aircraft, meets the working conditions of the seat use and the seat stowage, and solves the matching needs of the aircraft observer seat under a specific aircraft model. When the seat is in the working state, the other side of the seat can be overlapped with the second side wall panel, and the other side of the seat can be effectively supported. The strength requirements can be shared by the wall panels on both sides, thereby reducing the weight of the wall panel and the seat structure, improving the operating economy, and increasing the service life of the seat and the wall panel. The movement of the overlap shaft 320 and the folding action of the seat basin unit 200 can be linked, without manual operation, and improving the ergonomics.

[0038] The sideways retractable observer seat provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Since the frame 130 and the lap seat 310 are respectively installed on the left and right side wall panels, there will be deviations in the matching between the lap shaft 320 and the lap hole 311 on different aircraft. When deviations occur, the position of the inner frame 314 in the horizontal direction can be adjusted by operating the first adjusting member 317, thereby adjusting the position of the lap hole 311 in the horizontal direction. The position of the inner seat 316 in the vertical direction can be adjusted by operating the second adjusting member 318, thereby adjusting the position of the lap hole 311 in the vertical direction. In this way, the relative position of the lap hole 311 and the lap shaft 320 can be adjusted to meet the matching requirements. (2) When the other side of the seat basin 220 rotates upward and approaches the frame 130, it drives one surface of the hanging plate 710 to rotate upward, and then drives the other surface of the hanging plate 710 to rotate downward. The first limit shaft 610 rotates inward around the second limit shaft 620 and slides in the guide groove 133. The first limit shaft 610 gradually moves into the frame 130 and drives the top of the back plate 630 to gradually move into the frame 130, thereby reducing the thickness of the seat when it is stored. When the other side of the seat basin 220 rotates downward and moves away from the frame 130, In the process of leaving the frame 130, one surface of the hanging plate 710 will be driven to rotate downward, and then the other surface of the hanging plate 710 will be driven to rotate upward, the first limiting shaft 610 will rotate outward around the second limiting shaft 620, and slide in the guide groove 133, the first limiting shaft 610 will gradually move out of the frame 130, and drive the top of the back plate 630 to move out of the frame unit 100, thereby improving the comfort of riding, the rotation of the seat basin 220 drives the back plate 630 to work in conjunction, and realizes the comfortable posture adjustment of the back plate 630; (3) The locking unit 500 allows the seat to be locked in the storage position and the working position, thereby preventing the seat from rotating when in the storage position due to the inability to be locked; (4) The observer seat realizes the installation of the seat and the left and right wall panels of the aircraft, meets the working conditions requirements of the seat use and seat storage, and solves the matching needs of aircraft observer seats under specific aircraft models. When the seat is in working condition, the other side of the seat can be overlapped with the second side wall panel, and the other side of the seat can be effectively supported. The strength requirements can be shared by the wall panels on both sides, thereby reducing the weight of the wall panels and the seat structure, improving operational economy, and increasing the service life of the seat and the wall panels. The movement of the overlap shaft 320 and the folding action of the seat basin unit 200 can be linked, without the need for manual operation, thereby improving human-machine ergonomics.
