Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a rotating shaft type anti-clamping mechanism for a touch-pressure plate. Background Art

[0002] At present, some types of massage chairs, leisure chairs, car chairs, etc. include leg rest components, which can be used to support the user's legs and improve the user's comfort when sitting or lying. The leg rest component usually adopts a retractable or flip-up design and can be folded when not in use. On some electrically driven chairs, the folding action of the leg rest component needs to be achieved by an actuator. This leads to the risk of pinching pets or children at home during the folding process of the leg rest component, or the actuator being damaged due to excessive load.

[0003] A Chinese utility model patent discloses an anti-pinch leg rest structure and a car seat with the structure (CN220314809U). In the patent scheme, an extension section is provided between the foam seat cushion and the leg rest foam. The extension section and the seat cushion foam are integrally formed. The extension section can block the gap between the leg rest foam and the seat cushion foam, thereby preventing the user's limbs from being pinched in the gap and improving safety during use.

[0004] The above patent discloses a leg rest component with a flip-up design, which can prevent the user from being pinched when the leg rest is folded. However, since the leg rest is folded in a flip-up manner, there is also a gap between the back side and the front side of the chair body. When pets, children or larger objects in the home enter the gap and the leg rest happens to be folded, these pets, children and other objects may be pinched or damaged, and the actuator may also be damaged. Summary of the invention

[0005] The utility model provides a leg rest anti-clip device which can prevent objects from being clamped or actuators from being overloaded and damaged when objects are present in the gap between the back side of the leg rest and the front side of the chair body when the leg rest is folded.

[0007] When the leg rest is driven by the electric actuator to flip in the folding direction, if there is an object in the gap between the back of the leg rest and the front of the chair body, the touch plate of the leg rest touches the object and is pushed by the object to move in the direction of the leg rest bracket, and the push switch is triggered. The controller controls the electric actuator to stop working, thereby preventing objects from being pinched (including pets, children and other living things), and preventing the electric actuator from being damaged due to overload, thereby improving the safety of the leg rest when folding. When the object leaves the gap, the touch plate moves in the direction away from the leg rest bracket under the action of the elastic reset member, and the push switch is reset. The controller can re-control the electric actuator to work, which is more convenient to use.

[0008] Furthermore, the leg support bracket is arranged at the lower front end of the flexible cushion layer, and the rear end of the flexible cushion layer constitutes a seat cushion. The rear end of the flexible cushion layer can also be used as a seat cushion. This design is not only simple in structure and convenient in processing, but also can cover the gap between the leg support bracket and the seat cushion bracket to prevent the user from being pinched when the leg support component is folded.
