Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile seat frames, in particular to a lightweight frame structure of an automobile seat. Background Art

[0002] There are many types of car seat frame structures, including steel frame, steel tube frame, steel plate frame, plastic frame, carbon fiber frame and combined structure frame. Each frame has its own advantages and disadvantages, mainly in terms of weight and price. For some economy cars, steel frame, steel tube frame, steel plate frame and combined structure frames of the above structures are more commonly used. These frames are made of steel and have a certain degree of high structural strength, but they are also heavy. For economy cars, durability and fuel economy are particularly important. Economy cars generally have at least five seats. As the weight of the seat frame on the car increases, the overall weight of the car increases. Although for cars with tons as the weight unit, adding a few pounds or more than ten pounds is not too much, the long-term use of the car still has a great impact on its fuel consumption and fuel costs. Therefore, many car seat manufacturers will study lightweight car frame structures.

[0003] The existing common lightweight automobile frame structure generally uses steel pipes instead of thick steel bars, and punched steel plates instead of whole steel plates, which reduces the weight while ensuring the local volume of the frame. However, it is difficult to further lightweight it. In response to the vast market demand, our company has designed and proposed a new lightweight frame structure for automobile seats.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a lightweight frame structure of a car seat, including a cushion frame 1, a cushion fixing plate 2, a backrest adjustment plate 3, a backrest frame 4 and a headrest connecting pipe 5, the cushion fixing plate 2 and the backrest adjustment plate 3 are both steel plate structures, the overall structure of the cushion frame 1 and the backrest frame 4 are both U-shaped, and the seat cushion frame 1 is laterally fixedly connected with a hip support connecting steel pipe 6 and a leg support connecting steel pipe 7;

[0025] A seat cushion support rib 8 is fixedly connected between the leg support connecting steel pipe 7 and the hip support connecting steel pipe 6, and a backrest support rib 9 is fixedly connected to the backrest frame 4 transversely. The seat cushion support rib 8 and the backrest support rib 9 are both set to three, and the existing ones are usually three to five to ensure that the quality of the raw materials is qualified. Using three can achieve sufficient strength;

[0026] The seat frame 1, the headrest connecting pipe 5 and the hip support connecting steel pipe 6 are all round steel pipe structures. The hip support connecting steel pipe 6 and the leg support connecting steel pipe 7 are both provided with a socket 11 for inserting the seat support rib 8.

The seat cushion support rib 8 and the backrest support rib 9 are both straight rib structures, which mainly play the role of supporting the seat filling. There is no need for a large number or large size. The diameter is selected to be thin rather than thick, and the shape is straight rather than curved, so as to achieve lightweight.

[0029] Working principle: The load of car seats is mainly borne on the buttocks rather than the legs and back. The seat cushion frame 1 and the hip support connecting steel pipe 6 of the utility model adopt a round tube steel pipe structure, while the backrest frame 4 and the leg support connecting steel pipe 7 adopt a semi-circular tube steel pipe structure. The seat cushion support ribs 8 and the backrest support ribs 9 adopt a thin straight steel bar structure to ensure the structural strength of the load-bearing parts, reduce the steel material in the non-load-bearing parts, and further lightweight on the basis of existing technology. The seat frames of the entire vehicle adopt the same or similar method to reduce weight, achieving a significant overall lightweight effect.
