DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a movable seat left-right swing driving mechanism includes a relatively fixed swing base 1, and a swing base 2 is movably installed on the upper end of the swing base 1, which can swing left-right relative to the swing base 1. A rotating connection component 3 is provided between the swing base 1 and the upper end of the swing base 2 as a movable node, and a swing limit component 4 is provided between the swing base 1 and the lower end of the swing base 2 to guide the swing base 2 to move along an arc trajectory. The swing limit component 4 serves as another movable node to limit the range of movement of the swing base 2, and at the same time provides support for the swing base 2 and leaves enough space for movement. The swing limit component 4 is equipped with a driving component 5 that drives the swing base 2 to swing. When the driving component 5 is started, the driving component 5 rotates relative to the fixed central axis, and its rotation angle is limited by the swing limit component 4 and swings within a fan-shaped area.

[0023] Specifically, in order to provide sufficient installation space for the yaw limit assembly 4 and the drive assembly 5, a pair of support plates 11 extending in the vertical direction are provided at the lower end of the swing base 1, and the support plates 11 are connected and fixed to the internal support structure of the swing base 1. The support plates 11 are symmetrically arranged and parallel to each other, and a support sheet 12 extending in the vertical direction and having an arc-shaped edge is provided at the lower end of the yaw base 2. The support sheet 12 is movably installed between the support plates 11 through the yaw limit assembly 4, and a slot body for the yaw base 2 to move is reserved between the swing bases 1.

[0024] In depth, unlike conventional limiting structures, the deflection limiting assembly 4 in the present application includes a limiting plate 41 arranged at the lower end of the support plate 12 and in an arc shape, and the curvature of the lower end of the limiting plate 41 is consistent with the curvature of the motion trajectory of the deflection base 2. A first limiting roller 42 that rolls with the upper end of the limiting plate 41 is installed between the support plates 11, a second limiting roller 43 that rolls with the lower end of the limiting plate 41 is installed between the support plates 11, and a third limiting roller 44 that rolls with both sides of the support plate 12 is installed between the support plates 11. The limiting rollers are arranged in pairs to achieve the vertical and horizontal limiting of the deflection base 2, and at the same time do not interfere with the movement trajectory of the limiting plate 41 and the support plate 12.

[0025] Furthermore, openings 45 are respectively formed on both sides of the swing base 1 and are opposite to the cavity between the support plates 11. The support sheet 12 and the limit sheet 41 at its lower end pass through the openings 45. A protruding structure for assembling the yaw limit assembly 4 is provided at the bottom of the swing base 1. The opening 45 is provided on the protruding structure and extends from the top to both sides, ensuring that the support sheet 12 and the limit sheet 41 are movably installed in the opening 45.

[0026] Furthermore, in order to limit the maximum swing angle of the yaw base 2, a limit block 46 is arranged at the junction of the support plate 12 and the limit plate 41. The limit block 46 is opposite to the limit roller in the yaw limit assembly 4. When the yaw base 2 swings excessively, the limit block 46 blocks it. The limit block 46 is usually also equipped with corresponding sensor elements and the drive assembly 5 for feedback control.

[0027] In addition, the driving assembly 5 includes a driving rack 51 installed at the lower end of the yaw base 2, the driving rack 51 is fixed to the support plate 12, and a driving motor 52 and a speed change gear set 53 meshing with the driving motor 52 are installed on the side of the support plate 11. The speed change gear set 53 is transmission-connected to a driving gear 54 located between the support plates 11, and the driving gear 54 meshes with the driving rack 51 for transmission.

[0028] At the same time, in order to improve the structural strength of the support plate 12 and ensure that it is arranged vertically relative to the horizontal plane, the support plate 12 is fixed to the yaw base 2 through the support seat body 13, a reinforcing rib 14 is fixed at the junction of the support seat body 13 and the support plate 12, and a threaded part is fixed between the support seat body 13 and the yaw base 2.

[0029] It can be seen that the rotating connection assembly 3 includes a rotating seat 31 fixed to the upper end of the yaw base 2, and a rotating table 32 is provided on the upper end of the swing base 1 for the rotating seat 31 to be plugged and rotatably connected. The central axis of the rotating seat 31 and the rotating table 32 coincides with the arc center of the moving track of the yaw base 2. When the yaw base 2 swings left and right relative to the swing base 1, the central axis of its rotating connection extends in the horizontal direction, and its rotation central axis is perpendicular to the plane where the swing track of the yaw base 2 is located.

[0030] Obviously, there is a gap between the swing base 1 and the deflection base 2, and there is a movable space between the lower end and the back to ensure that the deflection base 2 will not collide with the swing base 1 during the swinging process.

[0031] Preferably, since the deflection base 2 is usually matched with a seat cushion to contact the human body, the backs of the deflection base 2 and the swing base 1 are respectively arc-shaped to adapt to the physiological curve of the human body.

[0032] To sum up, the principle of this embodiment is that the yaw base 2 is movably installed above the swing base 1, and its swing trajectory is limited by the rotating connection component 3 and the yaw limit component 4. The driving component 5 provides a driving torque for the yaw base 2 to make it yaw left and right relative to the swing base 1. Since the yaw base 2 has two upper and lower movable supporting structures, the yaw base 2 remains stable when swinging over a large range.

[0033] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. A person skilled in the art of the present invention may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in a similar manner, but this will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0034] Although this article uses more terms such as swing base 1, support plate 11, support sheet 12, support base body 13, reinforcing rib 14, deflection base 2, rotating connection assembly 3, rotating seat 31, rotating platform 32, deflection limit assembly 4, limit sheet 41, first limit roller 42, second limit roller 43, third limit roller 44, opening 45, limit block 46, drive assembly 5, drive rack 51, drive motor 52, speed gear set 53, drive gear 54, etc., it does not exclude the possibility of using other terms. The use of these terms is only to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the utility model; interpreting them as any additional restrictions is contrary to the spirit of the utility model.
