Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile accessories, in particular to a hand-adjustable seat rear row adjustment tool based on a connecting rod mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The number of cars in my country has exceeded 450 million, and the market share of private cars has continued to rise. Cars have become an indispensable means of transportation in people's production and life. Private cars, from entry-level to flagship models, are equipped with different levels of manual adjustment seat mode and electric adjustment seat mode, and the highest-configuration flagship model is equipped with a boss button, that is, passengers in the back seat can use the boss button to adjust the displacement and backrest angle of the front seat to expand the legroom and vision space in the back row, while the second-highest configuration and below models are not equipped with this function, especially the entry-level models are only equipped with manual adjustment seats, and the number of manual adjustment seats in the current market is huge. Figure 1 A pull rod is set between the front side of the seat cushion and the slide rail. When the pull rod is manually pulled up, the seat and the slide rail can slide freely forward and backward, which makes it convenient for passengers to adjust the front seat forward or backward. This type of structure is generally used by mainstream car companies to implement manual seat adjustment.

[0003] However, in real life, the legroom of rear passengers is still affected by the rearward movement of the front driver or passenger seat, resulting in a poor rear riding experience. A typical example is: when an online car-hailing vehicle is carrying passengers, the legroom in the rear is too small, and the driver is expected to adjust the front passenger seat forward, but the front passenger seat can only be adjusted by manually controlling the lever from the passenger seat. Even if the driver has adjusted the passenger seat forward in advance, when the online car-hailing vehicle is shared, the passenger seat will still sit on the passenger seat, and the seat will still be adjusted backward. The driver has to frequently manually adjust the passenger seat, which is extremely inconvenient.

[0004] There are still many vehicles in the society that do not have adjustable front seats in the rear row. Moreover, the scheme of modifying the electric seats with wired or wireless remote control will damage the electric control circuit of the seats, resulting in the modification of the electronic control of the vehicle, which directly affects the vehicle warranty and lifetime three-electric warranty. Therefore, private car owners in the market rarely choose to modify the electric adjustment seats. They can only buy special models at a high price. The second-highest configuration, mid-range configuration and low-end configuration models cannot allow the rear passengers to adjust the front seats. The market needs to promote a solution that is convenient for the rear passengers to adjust the front manual adjustment seats.

[0005] Based on the above reasons, our company has previously designed and submitted a patent application for a rear seat lifting adjustment based on the lever principle, see application number: 2023229029801, patent application document named A manual seat rear adjustment tool based on a connecting rod mechanism, but after measuring the space of the front seats of the actual vehicle, it was found that the gap between the seat cushion and the vehicle panel of the front seat was small, and due to the obstruction of the rear air outlet, it was difficult to rotate the mechanical arm to the angle that could lift the unlocking pull rod. The range of the mechanical arm's up and down swing in the narrow space is not enough to lift the pull rod, and it is difficult to adapt to such models with small gaps, and the rear passengers cannot unlock the locks of the front seats on the slide rails. For this reason, it is necessary for us to further design and improve the adjustment tool so that the mechanical arm can swing sufficiently in the narrow space under the seat cushion, which is sufficient to adapt to all models of manually adjustable seats on the market, so that the rear passengers can enjoy the spatial freedom brought by the boss chair. Riding experience. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is: to facilitate the rear passengers to adjust the front manual seats to move forward or backward, and to allow the mechanical arm to swing sufficiently large in the narrow space under the seat cushion, enough to allow the mechanical arm to rotate to an angle and height that can lift the unlocking lever, so as to obtain a larger legroom and sight space in the rear row. We have designed and proposed a manual seat rear adjustment tool based on a connecting rod mechanism, which greatly improves the riding space for the rear passengers, reduces the sense of space oppression, and expands the field of vision.

[0007] The technical solutions adopted to solve the above problems are:

[0008] A manual seat rear adjustment tool based on a connecting rod mechanism includes a connecting rod mechanical arm for controlling the lifting and lowering action of a pull rod of a front manual seat by a rear passenger, the connecting rod mechanical arm including a lifting arm movably hinged to the pull rod, a force-applying arm to which the rear passenger applies force, a first supporting arm and a second supporting arm hidden in a gap between a seat cushion and a vehicle floor, the first supporting arm being used to provide a rotational support point for the lifting arm, and the second supporting arm providing a thrust force for the lifting arm to realize rotation.

[0009] The pushing force of the second support arm is provided by the force applying arm, and the positioning support point of the force applying arm is provided by the first support arm. The connecting rod mechanical arm is provided with a sliding support point between the pull rod and the force applying end of the rear passenger. The sliding support point provides a lever fulcrum for the connecting rod mechanical arm, and the connecting rod mechanical arm can slide freely forward and backward in the gap between the seat cushion and the vehicle floor, and enables the connecting rod mechanical arm to slide forward or backward synchronously with the front manual adjustment seat.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting arm, the first supporting arm, the force applying arm and the second supporting arm are adjacent to each other in sequence and movably hinged to form a quadrilateral.

[0011] Furthermore, at least one hinge ring is provided between the lifting arm and the pull rod, so that the lifting arm can stably rotate on a plane parallel to the rotation planes of the pull rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the first support arm or the second support arm is provided with a connecting rod, and the connecting rod can freely move up and down and forward and backward in the gap between the seat cushion and the vehicle floor without interference.

[0013] Furthermore, at least one roller rolling in a direction parallel to the slide rail is arranged on the connecting rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the roller is at least arranged on any one side of the air outlet below the front manually adjustable seat.

[0015] Furthermore, a pressure block is provided at the rear end of the force-applying arm to facilitate the force-applying by rear passengers.

[0016] Furthermore, the length of the connecting rod mechanical arm is adjustable.

[0017] Furthermore, the connecting rod mechanical arm is provided with a torsion spring at least at the hinge of two adjacent arms, so that the force arm applies force, the lifting arm lifts the pull rod to achieve unlocking, and after the seat is adjusted, the connecting rod mechanical arm is restored to its original position under the action of the torsion spring elastic force.

[0018] Furthermore, the roller and the pressure block are made of soft materials to reduce shock, noise and collision.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0020] 1. The manual seat rear adjustment tool based on the linkage mechanism can be controlled by the rear passengers with the help of the linkage mechanical arm to adjust the height of the front seat pull rod upward or downward, making it convenient for the rear passengers to move the front seats forward or backward, which is convenient and practical;

[0021] 2. The adjustment tool is installed under the front seat. The swing range of the connecting rod mechanical arm is large enough in the narrow space under the seat cushion, which is enough to make the connecting rod mechanical arm turn to the angle and height that can lift the unlocking lever. It is well concealed. The force arm can avoid the gap for the rear passengers to put their feet. The hinge seat at the front end of the lifting arm does not affect the riding experience of the front seat passengers, so as to obtain more legroom and sight space in the back row.

[0022] 3. A soft material pressure block is set at the rear end of the mechanical arm, which can facilitate the rear passengers to apply force with their feet and hold the backrest with both hands to move the seat forward or backward.
