[0002] Car seats are one of the essential components of cars and are also important components that provide driving support and safety protection for passengers. With the expansion of the automobile market, customers have higher and higher requirements for the intelligence and comfort of cars, especially the comfort of rear seats. Therefore, some front seats are equipped with footrests on the back side so that the feet of rear passengers can be supported on the footrests.

[0003] In the prior art, the footrest mechanism is usually arranged in a gooseneck-type mechanism or a drawer-type mechanism. The gooseneck-type mechanism means that the footrest is folded behind the back of the front seat, and the footrest is connected to the backrest by a gooseneck rod. When in use, the footrest can be rotated outward to unfold. However, such a structure will expose the gooseneck rod inside the footrest when unfolded, affecting the appearance. At the same time, the feet of the rear passengers are also easily touched and interfered with it, affecting the comfort of the passengers. The drawer-type mechanism is to arrange the footrest in parallel to the lower end of the seat frame, and slide it out in parallel to the rear when in use. Such a structural design has a single function and cannot meet the foot support needs of passengers in different postures. In addition, such a structural arrangement will also occupy the space under the front seat cushion, affecting the foot space of the rear passengers.

[0004] Therefore, it is very necessary to design a pedal mechanism that can provide multi-angle support and has good aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0008] With the above structure, the driving component drives the angle adjustment component to rotate, which can drive the footrest to flip around the connecting bracket to any angle to meet the foot support needs of rear passengers in different sitting postures. At the same time, the driving component and the angle adjustment component are integrated into the mechanism assembly, and the footrest can be installed without modifying the backrest frame of the front seat, which has the advantages of simple structure, reasonable layout and good overall appearance.

[0009] Preferably, the angle adjustment assembly comprises two angle adjusters arranged on both sides of the footrest, and a synchronization rod connected between the two angle adjusters, and the driving assembly drives the synchronization rod to rotate, which can drive the two angle adjusters to rotate.

[0010] Preferably, the pedal is constructed into a rectangular structure, and comprises a pedal frame and a cover covering the surface of the pedal frame. The above structure is adopted so that the internal structure of the pedal is not exposed.

[0011] Preferably, the driving assembly is a motor, and the motor is integrated and assembled on the pedal frame.

[0012] Preferably, the pedal frame comprises an N-shaped support tube, both ends of the support tube are fixed with connecting components, and the two connecting components are respectively connected to the angle adjusters on both sides. The above structure is adopted to facilitate assembly.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, a reinforcing rod is fixedly arranged at the lower part of the support tube. The above structure improves the support strength of the pedal frame.

[0024] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, an electric footrest for a car seat includes a backrest frame 3 and a footrest 2. Two sets of connecting brackets 1 are fixedly arranged at the lower rear side of the backrest frame 3. The footrest 2 is rotatably assembled on the two sets of connecting brackets 1 through an angle adjustment component 4. A driving component 5 is integrated on the footrest 2, and the driving component 5 can drive the angle adjustment component 4 to rotate, so as to drive the footrest 2 to flip around the connecting bracket 1. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the footrest 2 is constructed in a rectangular structure.

[0026] Based on the above structure, when the rear passengers use the pedal function, the driving component 5 drives the angle adjustment component 4 to rotate, which can drive the pedal 2 to flip around the connecting bracket 1 to any angle, such as Figure 4 The occupant can support his legs on the footrest 2 at the parallel angle shown in the figure. At this time, the mechanism plays the role of a footrest; or the footrest 2 can be flipped to an angle tilted backward and downward (refer to Figure 5 ), the passenger's feet can be placed on the footrest 2, thereby meeting the rear passengers' foot support requirements in different sitting positions and improving the riding comfort. In addition, by externally integrating the drive assembly 5 and the angle adjustment assembly 4 on the mechanism assembly, the footrest can be installed without modifying the backrest frame 3 of the front seat, which has the advantages of simple structure, reasonable layout, and good overall appearance, and does not infringe on the foot space under the front seat cushion, ensuring the moving space for the rear passengers' feet.

[0027] Furthermore, Figure 2 As shown, the angle adjustment assembly 4 includes two angle adjusters 41 and a synchronization rod 42 connected between the two angle adjusters 41. The two angle adjusters 41 are arranged on both sides of the pedal 2. The driving assembly 5 drives the synchronization rod 42 to rotate. Under the transmission action of the synchronization rod 42, the two angle adjusters 41 can be driven to rotate at the same time, thereby realizing the rotation adjustment of the pedal 2.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 2 and 3 The pedal 2 includes a pedal frame 21 and a cover 22 covering the surface of the pedal frame 21, so that the internal structure of the pedal 2 is not exposed. At the same time, a flexible foam is provided between the pedal frame 21 and the cover 22, which ensures the comfort of the surface of the pedal 2 and improves the user's feeling of use.

[0029] In this embodiment, the driving assembly 5 is a motor, which is integrated and assembled on the pedal frame 21. The motor drives the synchronous rod 42 to rotate, thereby driving the angle adjuster 41 to rotate. This is a mature technology in the field and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] Re-attend Figure 2 The pedal frame 21 includes an N-shaped support tube 211, that is, the support tube 211 is composed of a horizontal section and vertical sections at both ends of the horizontal section, and a connecting member 212 is fixedly provided at the lower part of the two vertical sections. The "lower part" described here is the attached Figure 1 The initial state of the middle pedal 2 is used as a reference, and the two connecting parts 212 are respectively connected to the angle adjusters 41 on both sides. This design facilitates assembly. In this embodiment, the support tube 211 can be made of a metal material such as aluminum alloy. In order to enhance the stability and support strength of the pedal frame 21, a reinforcing rod 213 is fixedly connected between the lower parts of the two vertical sections.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the two connecting brackets 1 are provided with mounting holes 12 that match the angle adjusters 41, and the two angle adjusters 41 are welded on the two mounting holes 12 respectively. The ends of the two connecting brackets 1 have a bending portion 11 extending outward, and the bending portion 11 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the backrest frame 3. In this embodiment, the bending portion 11 and the rear side of the backrest frame 3 can be fixed by a screw assembly. In order to ensure the reliability of the connection between the connecting bracket 1 and the backrest frame 3, the lower sides of the two bending portions 11 are fixedly connected to the mounting plates 6, and then fixedly assembled on the backrest frame 3 through the mounting plates 6. The advantage of this design is that users can select and install footrests according to their needs, which has the advantage of strong versatility and improves the richness and practicality of the seat functions.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can make a variety of similar expressions without violating the purpose and claims of the present invention, and such changes fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
