[0019] First embodiment like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the folding seat of the car seat provided in this embodiment includes a cushion frame 1, a backrest frame 2 and a side guard plate 3. The bottom end of the backrest frame 2 is rotatably connected to the side guard plate 3, and the bottom of the side guard plate 3 is connected to the seat bottom cross beam 4. The cushion frame 1 is rotatably connected to a No. 1 connecting rod 5 near one end of the backrest frame 2, and the other end of the No. 1 connecting rod 5 is hinged to the backrest frame 2. The cushion frame 1 is hinged with a No. 2 connecting rod 6, and the other end of the No. 2 connecting rod 6 is rotatably connected to the seat bottom cross beam 4. An arcuate slide groove 7 is provided on the surface of the side guard plate 3, and a sliding block 8 is provided at the connection point between the cushion frame 1 and the No. 1 connecting rod 5. The sliding block 8 is inserted into the arcuate slide groove 7. A locking assembly 9 is provided at the lower end of the backrest frame 2. The locking assembly 9 includes a chuck 901, a locking pin 902 and a No. 1 spring 903. The chuck 901 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cushion frame 1, and the surface of the chuck 901 A locking groove 10 is provided, and a locking pin 902 is inserted into the locking groove 10. A No. 1 spring 903 is used to resist the locking pin 902. The locking groove 10 is arc-shaped, and the two sides of the locking groove 10 are evenly arranged with multiple arcs. The arcs fit the outer surface of the locking pin 902. When the locking pin 902 is inserted into the chuck 901, the backrest frame 2 is locked and cannot rotate. The locking pin 902 is pulled out of the chuck 901 and then the backrest frame 2 is pushed. The backrest frame 2 rotates around the rotation connection point with the side guard plate 3. The No. 1 connecting rod 5 hinged to the backrest frame 2 pushes the backrest frame 2 to move along the arc slide groove 7, and at the same time drives the seat cushion frame 1 to sink along the arc slide groove 7 near one end of the backrest frame 2 to make room for the folding of the backrest frame 2, thereby reducing the overall height of the car seat after the backrest is folded, realizing the smooth folding and unfolding of the seat back, while reducing the occupied space.

[0020] Among them, the inner shell 11 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the side guard plate 3, the locking pin 902 is inserted into the inner shell 11 and is slidably connected to the inner shell 11, the No. 1 spring 903 is located between the locking pin 902 and the inner shell 11, and a release button 12 is provided on the outer side of the side guard plate 3. The bottom of the release button 12 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 13, the locking pin 902 passes through the connecting plate 13 and is slidably connected to the connecting plate 13, and a No. 2 spring 14 is provided between the connecting plate 13 and the inner shell 11. The No. 2 spring 14 is used to resist The contact plate 15 is connected to the outer side of the side guard plate 3 in a sliding manner. The contact plate 15 is used to limit the release button 12. When the backrest needs to be folded, the release button 12 is pressed, and the release button 12 drives the connecting plate 13 to move downward, and the connecting plate 13 drives the locking pin 902 to move downward. At this time, the seat back can be adjusted. When the seat back needs to be folded, after pressing the release button 12, the contact plate 15 is slid to make the contact plate 15 prevent the release button 12 from rebounding, thereby folding the seat back at a large angle.

[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the principle of the folding seat of the car seat provided in this embodiment is as follows: a rotational connection is adopted between the backrest frame 2 and the side guard plate 3. When the backrest frame 2 rotates, the No. 1 connecting rod 5 will push one end of the cushion frame 1 to displace along the arc-shaped slide groove 7, thereby causing the cushion frame 1 to sink along the arc-shaped slide groove 7 close to one end of the backrest frame 2, making room for the folding of the backrest frame 2, thereby reducing the overall height of the car seat after the backrest is folded. After pressing the release button 12, the release button 12 drives the connecting plate 13 and the locking pin 902 to move downward synchronously, so that the locking pin 902 is pulled out of the chuck 901. At this time, the seat back angle can be adjusted. After pressing the release button 12, the seat back can be folded at a large angle by sliding the contact plate 15 to prevent the release button 12 from rebounding.

[0022] Second embodiment This embodiment also provides a vehicle comprising the aforementioned folding seat. The vehicle is a device or tool used to achieve spatial displacement of people and objects. The vehicle in this application includes, but is not limited to, automobiles, airplanes, trucks, trains, and ships. By arranging the aforementioned folding seat in the vehicle, the overall height of the vehicle seat after folding can be reduced, enabling smooth folding and unfolding of the seat back, while also reducing occupied space and optimizing the interior space layout.

[0023] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
