Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the present application provides a five-link structure of a tilt-adjustable seat with a small space, which includes a slide rail reinforcement plate 4, a five-link pivot bracket 5, a five-link 7, a rear cross tube 9, a five-link rotation axis 10, a leg support mounting interface 6, a rear cross tube bracket 8, a seat cushion safety belt bracket 3, a backrest safety belt lock bracket 2 and a headrest mounting bent pipe 1.

[0028] Specifically, two slide rail reinforcement plates 4 are arranged in parallel. The two slide rail reinforcement plates 4 are fixed on the surface of the car floor, and two five-link rotating shaft brackets 5 slide on the corresponding slide rail reinforcement plates 4 respectively. Electric screw rod structures are respectively installed inside the two slide rail reinforcement plates 4. By driving of the electric screw rod structures, the five-link rotating shaft brackets 5 slide on the slide rail reinforcement plates 4 to adjust the front-back position of the entire seat.

[0029] Specifically, two groups of five-link mechanisms 7 are provided. Each group of five-link mechanisms 7 is pivotally connected to the five-link rotating shaft bracket 5 respectively. The five-link rotating shaft bracket 5 serves as the support body of the entire seat and is used to adjust the angle and state of the seat. The rear cross-tube bracket 8 is connected to the rear cross-tube 9 and the five-link mechanism 7. The rear cross-tube 9 and the five-link rotating shaft 10 are connected to the two five-link rotating shaft brackets 5. With the rear cross-tube 9 and the five-link rotating shaft 10 as the fulcrums, the five-link mechanism 7 moves to adjust the angle of the seat cushion, and in cooperation with the backrest, the inclination angle of the entire seat is adjusted.

[0030] Specifically, the leg rest mounting interface 6 is installed on the five-link mechanism 5. The leg rest mounting interface 6 provides rich functional interfaces as a functional component. The headrest mounting elbow 1 is fixed at the top of the backrest connected to the five-link rotating shaft bracket 5. The headrest mounting elbow 1 provides a mounting point for the headrest. The seat cushion seat belt bracket 3 is fixed on the five-link rotating shaft bracket 5, and the backrest seat belt lock bracket 2 is fixed on the backrest connected to the five-link rotating shaft bracket 5. Both provide mounting positions for the safety of the entire seat.

[0031] In this embodiment, two triangular prisms are symmetrically arranged on the five-link rotating shaft 10, and the connection between the triangular prism and the five-link rotating shaft 10 has a circular arc transition. By designing the structure of the five-link rotating shaft 10, the performance of the five-link rotating shaft is improved.

[0033] Specifically, the first slide rail includes an L-shaped plate, and the upper part of the vertical plate of the L-shaped plate is bent inward to form a first bent plate parallel to the vertical plate. The second slide rail includes a C-shaped plate, and the upper parts of both sides of the C-shaped plate are bent inward to form second bent plates parallel to both sides thereof. The sliding plates on the five-link rotating shaft bracket 5 are in sliding fit with the first bent plate and the second bent plate on the slide rail reinforcement plate 4 respectively.

[0034] In this embodiment, the headrest mounting elbow 1 includes a C-shaped elbow. Both ends of the elbow form connecting pipes that deviate from the elbow and are arranged in parallel. The connecting pipes are used to connect with the backrest. Two flat mounting parts are symmetrically formed at the top of the elbow, and two square pipes are arranged on the mounting parts for the installation of the headrest.

[0035] This embodiment designs the front seat frame, seat belt fixing points, five-link mechanism and backrest head. Front seat frame design: A low BLOCK design is adopted to make the upper plane of the seat cushion closer to the installation surface, thereby achieving more compact space utilization. Seat belt fixing point design: Seat belt fixing points are provided on the backrest frame, and a reinforced structure is adopted to cope with the huge force during impact, meeting higher safety standards. Unique five-link mechanism: In view of the high chassis characteristics of electric vehicles, a method is specially designed to minimize the height space occupied by the five-link mechanism, ensuring that the required seat cushion tilt function can be achieved under low BLOCK conditions. Backrest head design: It is directly bent and welded to the upper crossbeam frame, with a simple structure and one-piece molding, achieving low cost and high efficiency. In addition, the backrest assembly adopts a hanging design, which simplifies the subsequent installation process of the headrest.

[0036] The working principle of the five-link structure of the tilt-angle adjustment seat with small space in this embodiment is as follows:

[0037] 1. With the rear cross tube 9 and the five-link rotating shaft 10 as the fulcrum, the five-link 7 moves to adjust the seat angle, and cooperates with the backrest to achieve the inclination adjustment of the entire seat; 2. The frame structure composed of the rear cross tube bracket 8, the five-link rotating shaft bracket 5, and the slide rail reinforcement plate 4 is the main body, which is a part of the connecting rod structure and carries various functional parts at the same time; 3. The headrest mounting elbow 1 provides a mounting point for the headrest; the backrest seat belt lock bracket 2 and the seat cushion seat belt bracket 3 provide an installation position for the safety of the entire chair; the leg support mounting interface 6 provides a rich functional interface as a functional part.
