Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle seat technology, and in particular to a conversion connection mechanism, conversion component, and seat. Background Technology

[0002] In the prior art, electric vehicle seats can slide and rotate, as shown in the patent with publication number CN117104091A entitled "A Rotating Device, Drive Mechanism and Seat Drive Assembly", which realizes the rhythmic coordination of sliding and rotating of electric seats. However, this structure can only realize the rotation of a single seat, and when the seat slides to a position close to the aisle, space must be reserved for the seat to rotate, which occupies a lot of space, and the structure is relatively complex and costly. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problems of high cost and large space occupation of individual seat operation in existing technologies, this invention provides a low-cost conversion connection mechanism, conversion component, and seat that enables simultaneous operation of two seats.

[0008] A fixed guide rail is fixed to the base;

[0009] The first slide rail is slidably connected to the fixed guide rail, and the first seat assembly is rotatably connected to the first slide rail;

[0010] The second slide rail is slidably connected to the fixed guide rail, and the second seat assembly is rotatably connected to the second slide rail.

[0011] Furthermore, the first slide rail includes a first main slide rail that slides along a fixed guide rail and a first secondary slide rail that slides along the first main slide rail, and the first seat assembly is rotatably connected to the first secondary slide rail. The second slide rail includes a second main slide rail that slides along a fixed guide rail and a second secondary slide rail that slides along the second main slide rail, and the second seat assembly is rotatably connected to the second secondary slide rail.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting block is provided between the first seat assembly and the second seat assembly. A first shaft fixedly connected to the first seat assembly and a second shaft fixedly connected to the second seat assembly are rotatably connected within the connecting block. A transmission structure is provided between the first shaft and the second shaft. The transmission structure includes a first gear fixedly or keyedly connected to the first shaft and a second gear fixedly or keyedly connected to the second shaft. The first gear and the second gear mesh.

[0014] An auxiliary guide assembly includes a first guide rail disposed on a base, a second guide rail disposed on a first seat assembly and / or a second seat assembly, and a slider disposed between the first guide rail and the second guide rail, wherein the slider is slidably connected to one of the first guide rail and the second guide rail and rotatably connected to the other.

[0015] Furthermore, both the first seat assembly and the second seat assembly are provided with second guide rails, and the second guide rails include a first rail and a second rail. The base is provided with an auxiliary fixed guide rail corresponding to the first rail and an auxiliary sliding guide rail corresponding to the second rail. The auxiliary sliding guide rail slides along the auxiliary fixed guide rail. A first slider assembly is provided between the first rail and the auxiliary fixed guide rail. The first slider assembly includes a first oblique slider slidably disposed on the first rail and a first main slider slidably disposed on the auxiliary fixed guide rail.

The second oblique slider and the second main slider are rotatably connected.

[0016] Furthermore, the first and second tracks are arranged in parallel. The parallel sliding components also have parallel movement trajectories, which increases strength while reducing the likelihood of jamming.

[0017] Furthermore, the angle between the first and second rails and the length direction of the corresponding first or second seat assembly is 30° to 50°. Setting this angle ensures both support and smooth movement.

[0018] A seat, including the aforementioned conversion assembly, further includes:

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention or its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0037] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0038] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is generally based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this invention; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0039] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0040] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this invention.
