DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present invention will be further described below by way of embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 10 As shown, a zero gravity and high-profile mechanism for a car seat cushion is mainly composed of a seat frame 100, a slide rail assembly 200, a connecting rod assembly 300, a first drive assembly 400 and a second drive assembly 500. The structure of the slide rail assembly 200 is the prior art. To facilitate the arrangement of the connecting rod assembly, the seat frame 100 includes seat frame side panels 110 arranged at intervals on the left and right and a front cross tube 120 arranged at the front ends of the two seat frame side panels 110.

[0029] The seat frame frame 100 is arranged above the slide rail assembly 200 through the connecting rod assembly 300. A first driving assembly 400 is arranged between the connecting rod assembly 300 and the slide rail assembly 200. At the same time, a slide groove a for zero gravity adjustment is arranged in the connecting rod assembly 300. The first driving assembly 400 drives the connecting rod assembly 300 to achieve zero gravity adjustment of the seat. A second driving assembly 500 is arranged between the seat frame frame 100 and the connecting rod assembly 300. The second driving assembly 500 drives the connecting rod assembly 300 to achieve height adjustment of the seat. In order to facilitate the use of the seat space, the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the seat frame frame.

[0030] The specific structure of the connecting rod assembly 300 includes a first connecting rod assembly 310, a second connecting rod assembly 320, a connecting rod connecting assembly 350, a connecting rod front fixing member 330 and a connecting rod rear fixing member 340. The connecting rod front fixing member 330 and the connecting rod rear fixing member 340 are arranged on the slide rail assembly 200 at intervals in front and back, and two connecting rod front fixing members 330 and two connecting rod rear fixing members 340 are arranged opposite to each other on the left and right. One end of the first connecting rod assembly 310 is hinged to the front end of the seat frame frame 100, and the other end is arranged on the connecting rod connecting assembly 350, and each connecting rod front fixing member 330 is provided with a slide groove a. One end of the second connecting rod assembly 320 is hinged to the rear end of the seat frame frame 100, and the other end is hinged to the connecting rod rear fixing member 340.

[0031] One end of the first drive assembly 400 is hinged on the connecting rod rear fixing member 340, and the other end of the first drive assembly 400 is hinged on the first connecting rod assembly. One end of the second drive assembly 500 is hinged on the second connecting rod assembly 320, and the other end of the second drive assembly 500 is hinged on the front end of the seat frame frame 100. The first drive assembly and the second drive assembly are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the seat frame frame.

[0032] When the first drive assembly is working, it can drive the connecting rod assembly to move backward along the slide slot. Since the second drive assembly is locked, the front end of the entire seat cushion is lifted upward and the rear end is downward through the connecting rod assembly, the first connecting rod assembly, the seat frame frame and the second connecting rod assembly, thereby realizing zero gravity adjustment of the seat. Since the other end of the first connecting rod assembly 310 is hinged on the connecting rod assembly 350, when the seat is in high adjustment, the first connecting rod assembly rotates, while the connecting rod assembly 350 does not rotate, so the corresponding first drive assembly does not rotate, which can reduce the space occupied by the first drive assembly when working, thereby facilitating the arrangement of other parts of the leg support.

[0033] When the second driving assembly is working, it drives the second connecting rod assembly to rotate around the hinge point between the second connecting rod assembly and the rear fixing piece of the connecting rod. Since the first driving assembly is locked, the second connecting rod assembly, the seat frame skeleton and the first connecting rod assembly form a quadrilateral mechanism. Therefore, by driving the second connecting rod assembly to rotate, the height adjustment of the entire seat cushion can be achieved.

[0034] The first link assembly 310 includes two identical first links 311 arranged at intervals on the left and right. The link connection assembly 350 includes a front link tube 351 for mounting the two first links 311, the left and right ends of the front link tube 351 are arranged on the link front fixing member 330 on the corresponding side through corresponding mounting members 352, and the mounting members 352 can slide in the slide groove a, and a first driving bracket 353 for the first driving assembly 400 to be hinged is fixedly arranged at a position close to the left side on the front link tube 351. The second link assembly 320 includes a rear link tube 321 extending left and right and hinged to the rear end of the seat frame frame 100, and a left second link 322 and a right second link 323 are arranged at intervals on the rear link tube 321, and the second driving assembly 500 is hinged to the right second link 323, and the other end of the second driving assembly is hinged to the seat frame frame 100.

[0035] The slide groove is set as a horizontal straight slide groove, and the mounting member 352 is set as a special-shaped step bolt that passes through the slide groove from the outside and is fixed on the front linkage tube 351. Preferably, the cross section of the mounting member and the slide groove is set as a waist shape, such as Fig.11 As shown, the waist shape is composed of arc segments at both ends and straight line segments for connecting the arc segments at both ends. The setting of the waist-shaped stage of the mounting part can increase the force-bearing surface, thereby ensuring the stability of the overall movement.

[0036] The upper end of the first connecting rod assembly 310 can be hinged on the left and right outer sides of the seat frame frame 100 or on the left and right inner sides of the seat frame frame 100 as required. When hinged on the left and right outer sides of the seat frame frame 100, the first drive assembly and the first drive bracket are arranged closer to the slide rail, reducing the distance between the connection point of the first drive assembly and the slide rail, thereby reducing the bending moment of the first drive assembly and the first drive bracket, which is beneficial to the force stability of the seat structure. At the same time, the front end structure of the seat frame side panels on both sides can be retracted to reduce the width of the front end of the seat, which is beneficial to the layout and the design of the seat basin structure. When hinged on the left and right inner sides of the seat frame frame 100, it is convenient for the connecting rod connection assembly to cooperate with the connecting rod front fixing assembly, and the hinge position of the first connecting rod assembly and the seat frame frame can be selected as required.

[0037] In the present application, the first drive assembly 400 and the second drive assembly 500 use a motor screw assembly or a linear guide assembly, and of course other linear drive mechanisms can also be used.
