Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically relating to an electric adjustment device for a car seat table. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional car seat backrest tray tables are manually adjustable, requiring users to manually unfold or fold them onto the backrest. This type of tray table is inconvenient to use and does not align with the demands of intelligent and electric vehicle technology. To improve ease of use, electric tray table structures have gradually emerged on the market. These use a motor as a power source, which drives the tray table to rotate via a transmission mechanism, thus unfolding and folding it. However, existing electric tray table structures in car seats involve significant modifications to the traditional tray table structure, generally resulting in higher costs. Furthermore, unfolding and folding them takes up considerable space on the backrest side, thus reducing interior space.

[0003] In general, traditional car seat tray tables typically use a manual folding structure, which is inconvenient to operate and takes up a lot of space; improved electric tray tables mostly use gear and rack or sector gear transmission, which, although achieving electrification, have the following drawbacks:

[0004] Complex structure: Gear transmission requires precise matching, increasing manufacturing costs;

[0005] Large space requirement: The transmission mechanism requires a large installation space, which affects the seat design;

[0006] Low reliability: Gears are prone to wear after long-term use, leading to transmission failure. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To overcome the above problems, the present invention provides an electric adjustment device for a car seat table. The present invention consists of a drive mechanism, a linkage mechanism, and a table, which can realize electric adjustment of the table. With the help of an electrical control system, it can realize the adaptive adjustment function of the seat table. It occupies little space, has a simple structure, and is low in cost.

[0008] An electric adjustment device for a car seat table includes a lead screw motor assembly 1, a motor bracket 2, a drive arm 3, a table frame 4, an L-shaped bracket 6, an upper connecting rod 7, a lower connecting rod 8, and a drive rod 9. The lead screw motor assembly 1 is fixed to the seat frame 5 via the motor bracket 2. L-shaped brackets 6 are fixed to the seat frame 5 at both ends above the motor bracket 2. One end of the drive arm 3 is hinged to the lead screw end of the lead screw motor assembly 1, and the other end is fitted with a drive rod 9. Both ends of the drive rod 9 pass through the corresponding L-shaped brackets 6 and are connected to one end of the corresponding lower connecting rod 8. The other end of the lower connecting rod 8 is connected to the lower outer side of the table frame 4. One end of the upper connecting rod 7 is movably connected to the upper outer side of the L-shaped bracket 6, and the other end is connected to the upper outer side of the table frame 4.

[0009] The upper connecting rod 7 is a bent rod.

[0010] The lower connecting rod 8 is a curved rod with an arc.

[0011] The lead screw motor assembly 1 includes a lead screw motor body 11 and a lead screw 12. The lead screw motor body 11 is fixed to the seat frame 5 by a motor bracket 2, and the lead screw 12 is connected inside the lead screw motor body 11 and can move up and down under the drive of the lead screw motor body 11.

[0012] The top of the lead screw 12 is provided with a fixed seat, and the drive arm 3 is hinged to the fixed seat.

[0013] The table frame 4 is covered with lightweight ABS plastic sheet.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0015] Compared to the gear and sector mechanism used in traditional electric tabletops, this invention uses a lead screw and connecting rod, which has fewer parts in its lead screw and slider mechanism, greatly reducing costs. Furthermore, this invention occupies less space, has a simple structure, and provides stable transmission. This invention aligns with the development needs of intelligent and electric systems and improves ease of use. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Example 1

[0028] An electric adjustment device for a car seat table includes a lead screw motor assembly 1, a motor bracket 2, a drive arm 3, a table frame 4, an L-shaped bracket 6, an upper connecting rod 7, a lower connecting rod 8, and a drive rod 9. The lead screw motor assembly 1 is fixed to the seat frame 5 via the motor bracket 2. L-shaped brackets 6 are fixed to the seat frame 5 at both ends of the motor bracket 2. One end of the drive arm 3 is hinged to the lead screw end of the lead screw motor assembly 1, and the other end is externally fitted with a drive rod 9. Both ends of the drive rod 9 pass through the corresponding L-shaped brackets 6 and are movably connected to one end of the corresponding lower connecting rod 8. The other end of the lower connecting rod 8 is connected to the lower outer side of the table frame 4. One end of the upper connecting rod 7 is movably connected to the upper outer side of the L-shaped bracket 6, and the other end is connected to the upper outer side of the table frame 4.

[0029] The upper connecting rod 7 is a bent rod with a bending angle of 110° to 130°.

[0030] The lower connecting rod 8 is a curved rod with an arc radius that matches the contour of the seat back.

[0031] The lead screw motor assembly 1 includes a lead screw motor body 11 and a lead screw 12. The lead screw motor body 11 is fixed to the seat frame 5 by a motor bracket 2, and the lead screw 12 is connected inside the lead screw motor body 11 and can move up and down under the drive of the lead screw motor body 11.

[0032] The top of the lead screw 12 is provided with a fixed seat, and the drive arm 3 is hinged to the fixed seat.

[0033] The table frame 4 is covered with lightweight ABS plastic sheet.

[0034] The motor bracket 2 is welded to the waist position of the seat frame 5; the top of the lead screw 12 is hinged to the drive arm 3 through a pin; the drive rod 9 is made of hollow steel pipe, and both ends are connected to the L-shaped bracket 6 through bearings.

[0035] When in use, when the table is folded up, the lead screw motor body 11 is turned on, which drives the lead screw 12 to move upward. The lead screw 12 drives the drive arm 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive rod 9 to rotate counterclockwise. Therefore, the lower connecting rod 8 is driven to move downward, and at the same time, with the cooperation of the upper connecting rod 7, the table frame 4 is folded up.

[0036] When the tabletop is opened, the lead screw motor body 11 is activated, which drives the lead screw 12 to move downward. The lead screw 12 drives the drive arm 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive rod 9 to rotate. Therefore, the lower connecting rod 8 is driven to move upward, and at the same time, with the cooperation of the upper connecting rod 7, the tabletop frame 4 is driven to open forward.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] 1. The drive mechanism is fixed to the seat frame 5.

[0039] 2. The drive mechanism consists of a lead screw motor assembly 1 and a motor bracket 2. The lead screw motor assembly 1 includes a lead screw 12 and a motor body 11. The lead screw 12 can slide relative to the motor body 11, and the motor body 11 can pivot on the motor bracket 2.

[0040] 3. The transmission mechanism for the unfolding of the table frame 4 is a linkage mechanism, which is fixed on both sides of the table frame 4. One end is hinged to the table frame 4, and the other end is hinged to the seat frame 5 through the L-shaped bracket 6.

[0041] 4. A drive arm 3 and a drive rod 9 are arranged between the drive mechanism and the transmission mechanism. One end of the drive arm 3 is fixedly connected to the lower connecting rod 8 on both sides of the table frame 4 to realize the rotation of the connecting rod. One end of the drive arm 3 is hinged to the lead screw 12 and the other end is fixedly connected to the lower connecting rod 8. When the lead screw 12 moves, the drive arm 3 rotates, which drives the drive rod 9 to rotate, thereby realizing the movement of the four-bar linkage and the movement of the frame 4.

[0042] 6. When the motor is running, the lead screw 12 drives the drive arm 3 and drive rod 9 to rotate, so as to open and close the table.

[0043] Deployment state: Lead screw 12 moves down → Drive arm 3 pushes drive rod 9 to rotate clockwise → Lower connecting rod 8 is lifted up → Table frame 4 is horizontally deployed under the linkage of the connecting rod;

[0044] Collapsed state: Lead screw 12 moves up → Drive arm 3 pulls drive rod 9 to rotate counterclockwise → Lower connecting rod 8 presses down → Table frame 4 folds and rests against the back of the seat.
