Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seating, and more specifically to a rotating mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of MPVs, commercial vehicles, and autonomous driving models, the demand for flexible interior space has significantly increased. Rotating seats, as the core mechanism enabling 360° seat rotation and various seating arrangements, have become a key area for optimization in automotive interior design in recent years.

[0003] Traditional swivel seats mostly use ball bearing turntables for their rotating mechanism. This structure has rigid contact and strong local pressure, which can easily cause indentations, leading to increased gaps and various noises over time. The rotation also becomes increasingly difficult. Another fatal problem with traditional swivel mechanisms is that the overall thickness exceeds 50mm, which seriously affects the seat's ground clearance and makes it unsuitable for low-suspension seats such as those used in light trucks.

[0078] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present invention and simplifying the description, and 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.

[0081] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of the present invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0082] Example 1:

[0083] According to one aspect of the present invention, a rotating mechanism 1 is designed. Figure 1 A perspective view of a rotating mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 A perspective view of a rotating mechanism without a top cover according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 3 An exploded view of a rotating mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating mechanism 1 includes an upper cover plate 2, a lower cover plate 3, a rotating disk 4, a rotating pad 5, a first limiting disk 6, a second limiting disk 7, a third limiting disk 8, a locking disk 9, a fourth limiting disk 10, an upper fixing plate 11, a lower fixing plate 12, a locking mechanism 13, a detection mechanism 16, and a fixing bolt 17.

[0084] Specifically, the top of the upper cover plate 2 is provided with multiple upper fixing holes 2-1, and the bottom of the lower cover plate 3 is provided with multiple lower fixing holes 3-1. The design of the upper fixing holes 2-1 and the lower fixing holes 3-1 can ensure that the rotating mechanism 1 can be applied to most environments and connected to any component.

[0085] Specifically, the third limiting disk 8 has a special Z-shaped structure. The top of the third limiting disk 8 presses against a part of the rotating disk 4. This design not only restricts the two from separating, but also increases the compactness of the rotating mechanism 1 and reduces the overall thickness. It can save costs without adding a new structure.

[0086] Specifically, the top of the locking disc 9 is provided with multiple limiting holes 9-1, the specific number of which can be set according to actual needs. The side of the locking disc 9 is provided with multiple arc-shaped sliders 9-2, which can buffer the direct collision between the locking disc 9 and the first limiting disc 6 when the rotating mechanism 1 is subjected to horizontal impact force.

[0087] Specifically, the fourth limiting disk 10 is provided with a plurality of wear-resistant elastic sliders 10-1. The design of the elastic sliders 10-1 not only has a lubricating effect, but also reduces the frictional loss between the fourth limiting disk 10 and the second limiting disk 7.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the rotating pad 5 is C-shaped and made of elastic and wear-resistant material. The rotating pad 5 is inserted into the surface of the rotating disk 4 and slides freely between the rotating disk 4 and the third limiting disk 8. The rotating pad 5 not only lubricates the rotating disk 4 and the third limiting disk 8, but also reduces frictional wear between them. Also, because it is made of elastic material, it can absorb the axial impact force suddenly received by the rotating mechanism 1 and extend its service life.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention Figure 4 A top connection diagram of an upper cover plate according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 5 A bottom connection diagram of an upper cover plate according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, as follows. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper cover plate 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 4 by the fixing bolt 17, the upper cover plate 2 is fixedly connected to the first limiting disk 6 by the fixing bolt 17, the upper cover plate 2 is fixedly connected to the second limiting disk 7, and the upper cover plate 2 is fixedly connected to the upper fixing plate 11 by the fixing bolt 17.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention Figure 6 A diagram showing a lower cover plate connection according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided, as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the lower cover plate 3 is fixedly connected to the third limiting plate 8 by the fixing bolt 17, the lower cover plate 3 is fixedly connected to the locking plate 9, the lower cover plate 3 is fixedly connected to the fourth limiting plate 10, and the lower cover plate 3 is fixedly connected to the lower fixing plate 12 by the fixing bolt 17.

[0091] It is evident that this connection method not only ensures a tight connection between the upper and lower cover plates and each component, but also facilitates subsequent disassembly, replacement, and maintenance.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present invention Figure 7 A cross-sectional view of a rotating mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the rotating disk 4 and the third limiting disk 8 move relative to each other, and when they rotate, they push the rotating pad 5 to rotate between them. The first limiting disk 6 and the locking disk 9 rotate relative to each other.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the second limiting disk 7 and the fourth limiting disk 10 are C-shaped. Each of the second limiting disk 7 and the fourth limiting disk 10 has one end located inside the groove of the other. The second limiting disk 7 and the fourth limiting disk 10 rotate relative to each other, and the second limiting disk 7 and the fourth limiting disk 10 restrict each other from making axial movements.

[0094] It is evident that this structural design can ensure that both parts can rotate in the horizontal direction, and also ensure that they are mutually restricted and cannot separate when subjected to axial impact force, thereby improving the impact resistance and stability of the entire rotating mechanism.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present invention Figure 8 A connection diagram of a mechanical locking mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, as follows. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the locking mechanism 13 can be a mechanical locking mechanism 14, which includes a locking seat 13-1, a latch 13-2, a rotating shaft 13-3, a first return spring 13-4, a second return spring 14-1, a control rod 14-2, a limit pin 14-3, and a locking pin 14-4.

[0096] Specifically, the locking seat 13-1 is fixedly connected to the upper cover plate 2 by the fixing bolt 17. The rotating shaft 13-3 passes through the latch 13-2 and the first return spring 13-4 and is adaptively connected to the locking seat 13-1. The control rod 14-2 passes through the second return spring 14-1 and the limit pin 14-3 and is adaptively connected to the upper fixing plate 11. One end of the locking pin 14-4 is connected to the control rod 14-2 and the other end is located on the latch 13-2. When locked, the latch 13-2 is located in the limit hole 9-1 provided on the locking disc 9.

[0097] As can be seen, the design of the locking seat 13-1 can ensure that the entire mechanical locking mechanism 14 rotates together with the upper cover plate 2 when it is unlocked. The design of the first return spring 13-4 is mainly for the lock 13-2 to automatically reset after it is unlocked and popped up. The design of the second return spring 14-1 is mainly for the control lever 14-2 to automatically reset after it is unlocked and rotated.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present invention Figure 9 A perspective view of a gas valve according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 10 A cross-sectional view of a gas valve according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, such as Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the locking mechanism 13 can be a pneumatic locking mechanism 15, which includes a locking seat 13-1, a latch 13-2, a rotating shaft 13-3, a first return spring 13-4, and an air valve 15-1.

[0099] Specifically, the air valve 15-1 includes a valve body 15-2, a valve stem 15-3, a third return spring 15-4, a sealing ring 15-5, and an air nozzle 15-6;

[0100] Specifically, the locking seat 13-1 is fixedly connected to the upper cover plate 2 by the fixing bolt 17, and the rotating shaft 13-3 passes through the latch 13-2 and the first return spring 13-4 and is adaptively connected to the locking seat 13-1;

[0101] Specifically, when locked, the latch 13-2 is located within the limiting hole 9-1 provided on the locking disc 9;

[0102] Specifically, the valve body 15-2 has a hollow structure in the middle and through holes on both sides. The valve body 15-2 is fixedly connected to the upper fixing plate 11 by the fixing bolt 17. One end of the valve body 15-2 is fixedly connected to the air nozzle 15-6 through hole.

[0103] Specifically, one end of the valve stem 15-3 is located inside the valve body 15-2, and the other end of the valve stem 15-3 passes through the through hole of the valve body 15-2 and is located on the latch 13-2;

[0104] Specifically, the third return spring 15-4 and the sealing ring 15-5 are disposed on the valve stem 15-3. The third return spring 15-4 is mainly used for the reset of the valve stem 15-3, and the sealing ring 15-5 can isolate the valve body 15-2 into two independent cavities.

[0105] It is evident that the rotating mechanism can be unlocked either mechanically or via a pneumatic valve.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the detection mechanism 16 is fixedly connected to the lower cover plate 3 by the fixing bolt 17. The detection mechanism 16 is located directly below the limiting hole 9-1 provided on the locking plate 9. The detection mechanism 16 can detect at all times whether the latch 13-2 inside the limiting hole 9-1 has popped out. If the latch 13-2 is detected to have left the limiting hole 9-1, a warning will be issued to the user.

[0107] It is evident that this design can prevent damage caused by users forgetting to lock the rotating mechanism in time, which could result in the rotating mechanism suddenly rotating under external force.

[0108] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the working principle of the rotating mechanism 1 using the mechanical locking mechanism 14 is as follows:

[0109] When the user controls the control lever 14-2 to rotate, the locking pin 14-4 presses down on the latch 13-2, the latch 13-2 disengages from the limiting hole 9-1 provided on the locking disc 9, and the locking mechanism 13 enters the unlocked state. At this time, the user can rotate the upper cover plate 2 or the lower cover plate 3.

[0110] When the user does not control the rotation of the control lever 14-2, the control lever 14-2 returns to its initial position under the elastic force of the second return spring 14-1. At this time, the latch 13-2 falls onto the locking disc 9 under the elastic force of the first return spring 13-4. As the user continues to rotate the upper cover plate 2 or the lower cover plate 3, when the latch 13-2 falls into the limiting hole 9-1 provided on the locking disc 9, the mechanical locking mechanism 14 enters the locking state. At this time, the user cannot rotate the upper cover plate 2 or the lower cover plate 3.

[0111] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the working principle of the rotating mechanism 1 using the pneumatic locking mechanism 15 is as follows:

[0112] When the air nozzle 15-6 is inflated, the valve stem 15-3 moves outward due to air pressure, which in turn pushes the latch 13-2 to pop up. The latch 13-2 disengages from the limiting hole 9-1 provided on the locking disc 9, and the locking mechanism 13 enters the unlocked state. At this time, the user can rotate the upper cover plate 2 or the lower cover plate 3.

[0113] When the air nozzle 15-6 vents air, the valve stem 15-3 returns to its initial position under the elastic force of the third return spring 15-4. At this time, the latch 13-2 falls onto the locking disc 9 under the elastic force of the first return spring 13-4. As the user continues to rotate the upper cover plate 2 or the lower cover plate 3, when the latch 13-2 falls into the limiting hole 9-1 provided on the locking disc 9, the mechanical locking mechanism 14 enters the locking state. At this time, the user cannot rotate the upper cover plate 2 or the lower cover plate 3.

[0114] Example 2:

[0115] According to another aspect of the present invention, an automobile seat 18 is designed. Figure 11 A diagram illustrating a seat assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, such as... Figure 11 As shown, the car seat 18 includes any one of the rotating mechanisms 1 described above. Other components of the car seat 18 can be fixedly connected to the rotating mechanism 1 through the upper fixing hole 2-1 and the lower fixing hole 3-1. The rotating mechanism 1 can be located in the middle of the car seat 18 or at the bottom of the car seat 18. The user can choose the connection position according to his or her driver's needs.

[0116] In summary, this rotating mechanism effectively solves the problems of traditional ball bearing structures, such as indentation and deformation of the balls due to excessive local pressure, increased gaps, uneven rotation, and increased noise. Simultaneously, its unique design effectively buffers impacts from all directions, reducing damage to connected components like seats. The mechanism's special design results in a total thickness of only about 30mm, making it suitable for environments where traditional rotating mechanisms cannot be installed, such as light truck seats. The simple design of the upper and lower covers allows for seamless operation in practical use, further enhancing its ability to handle special environments, such as top-mounted, bottom-mounted, or simultaneous top-bottom connections of the slide rails. The rotating mechanism incorporates two locking mechanisms to meet various user needs, and the detection mechanism prevents potential injury from sudden rotation during use if the user fails to lock the mechanism properly.

[0117] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
