DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to better understand the improvements made by the present invention relative to the prior art, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 3 , the foldable car seat that can be unfolded into a bed is mainly composed of a seat back 3, a seat cushion 5 and a foldable back 4. The top end of the foldable back 4 is hinged to the top end of the seat back 3.

[0038] like Figure 4As shown in FIG. 9 , the seat back 3 is mainly composed of a seat back frame assembly 3A and a front gear connecting rod 17, and the folding back 4 is mainly composed of a folding back frame assembly 4A, a rear gear connecting rod 24, a lower connecting rod 25, and a flip-open floor lock assembly 9, wherein the seat back frame assembly 3A and the folding back frame assembly 4A are hingedly connected through a front and rear back connecting frame assembly 23, and a support tube 10 is provided at the bottom end of the front and rear back connecting frame assembly 23, serving as the middle support when the seat back 3 and the folding back 4 are unfolded into a bed. At the same time, a recliner 15 is provided at the hinge of the seat back 3 and the seat cushion 5, so that the seat back 3 can be adjusted in angle relative to the seat cushion 5, and a back torsion spring 19 is mounted on the hinged rotating shaft of the seat back 3 and the seat cushion 5.

[0039] A first locking assembly is provided between the seat back 3 and the folding back 4. When locked, the seat back 3 and the folding back 4 rotate relative to each other around the seat cushion 5 as a whole for comfort adjustment. When unfolded into a bed, the first locking assembly and the recliner 15 are unlocked by the first unlocking assembly. The first locking assembly is mainly composed of a backrest lock 13 and a backrest lock buckle 14, which cooperate to lock the folding back 4 and the seat back 3 together. Fig.10 As shown, the backrest lock buckle 14 and the backrest lock 13 are respectively arranged at the bottom ends of the seat backrest frame assembly 3 and the folding backrest frame assembly 4A, and the backrest lock 13 adopts a lock hook structure and is hinged on the folding backrest frame assembly 4A.

[0040] The first unlocking assembly is mainly composed of a first unlocking active member 2, a recliner unlocking cable 18, a back lock unlocking cable 20, and a floor lock unlocking cable 21. The first unlocking active member 2 is preferably an unlocking pull belt, one end of which is exposed and provided with a pulling portion, and the other end is connected to the recliner unlocking cable 18, the back lock unlocking cable 20, and the floor lock unlocking cable 21. The first unlocking active member 2 unlocks the recliner 15, the first locking assembly, and the floor lock assembly 9 respectively through the recliner unlocking cable 18, the back lock unlocking cable 20, and the floor lock unlocking cable 21.

[0041] like Fig.12As shown in FIG. 13, the car seat is also provided with a second locking component and a second unlocking component, which are preferably arranged on the seat cushion 5. The second unlocking component is mainly composed of a second unlocking active member 6, a recliner unlocking cable 11 and a lying flat latch unlocking cable 12. The second locking component is mainly composed of a lying flat latch 16 arranged on the seat cushion 5 and a pin hole arranged on the front gear connecting rod 17. The lying flat latch 16 is inserted into the pin hole on the front gear connecting rod 17 as a hinge shaft between the front gear connecting rod 17 and the seat cushion 5. The second unlocking active member 6 unlocks the recliner 15 through the recliner unlocking cable 11, and unlocks the second locking component through the lying flat latch unlocking cable 12, so that the lying flat latch 16 withdraws from the pin hole on the front gear connecting rod 17 to unlock. The second unlocking active member 6 is preferably an unlocking handle.

[0042] like Fig.14 As shown in FIG. 16 , the seat back frame assembly 3A, the front and rear back connection frame assembly 23, the front gear link 17 and the seat cushion 5 are hinged in sequence to form a front parallelogram linkage mechanism A, and the folding back frame assembly 4A, the front and rear back connection frame assembly 23, the rear gear link 24 and the lower connection link 25 are hinged in sequence to form a rear parallelogram linkage mechanism B. A pair of relatively meshing transmission gears 22 are arranged between the front parallelogram linkage mechanism A and the rear parallelogram linkage mechanism B, and a back connection frame torsion spring 26 is arranged between the front gear link 17 and the rear gear link 24 to provide a return auxiliary force when the folding backrest 4 is folded. The transmission gears 22 are respectively arranged at the upper ends of the front gear link 17 and the upper ends of the rear gear link 24.

[0043] When the car seat needs to be folded into a bed, no matter where the backrest assembly is, the unlocking active member 2 is pulled, and the seat back 3 can rebound to the preset initial angle under the action of the backrest torsion spring 19 to ensure that the lying flat pin 16 can be inserted into the pin hole of the front gear connecting rod 17, and at the same time ensure that there is enough space behind the seat back 3 when the folding backrest 4 is unfolded. Therefore, the preset initial angle is generally 80° to 90°. At this time, the car seat is in a pre-expanded state, and the backrest torsion spring 19 can also provide a return auxiliary force to the seat back 3 when the folding backrest 4 is folded. While the car seat is in the pre-expanded state, the first unlocking active member 2 pulls the backrest angle adjuster unlocking cable 18, the backrest lock unlocking cable 20 and the floor lock unlocking cable 21 to move upward, the adjuster 15 is unlocked, the backrest lock buckle 14 rotates to disengage from the backrest lock 13 to achieve unlocking, and the floor lock assembly 9 flips open. Thus, the seat back frame assembly 3A can rotate relative to the seat cushion 5 and the lower end of the seat back 3 is separated from the lower end of the folding seat 4. The seat back frame assembly 3A is turned by manual pressing or motor driving to turn over, driving the front parallelogram linkage A to turn over, and the rear parallelogram linkage B is turned over in linkage with the mutually meshing transmission gears 22, thereby realizing the seat back turning linkage folding back 4 to unfold or fold. When the folding back 4 is laid flat to form a bed, the floor lock assembly 9 is fixed to the floor lock buckle 8 set on the body carpet 7, and the support tube 10 is supported on the carpet 7. In order to improve the comfort after forming a bed, the seat cushion 5 is provided with a lifting component at one end close to the seat back 3. When unfolding to form a bed, the seat cushion 5 is lifted and flush with the flattened seat back 3.

[0044] like Fig.17 As shown, when comfort adjustment is required, the seat back 3 and the folding back 4 are fastened as a whole through the first unlocking group, and the second unlocking active member 6 is pressed. The second unlocking active member 6 can simultaneously pull the recliner unlocking cable 11 and the lie-flat latch unlocking cable 12 to unlock the recliner 15 and the lie-flat latch 16. If the seat back 3 is at a preset initial angle at this time, the lie-flat latch 16 withdraws from the pin hole on the front gear connecting rod 17 to unlock, and the seat back 3 and the folding back 4 rotate as a whole around the recliner 15 relative to the seat cushion 5 for comfort adjustment, and the lie-flat latch 16 can slide on the surface of the front gear connecting rod 17. When performing comfort adjustment and bed-making operations, a mechanism is provided for locking to ensure seat stability and safety.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
