Description

Technical Field

[0002] The seat headrest is an important component that affects the driving comfort and safety of the car seat. As people's requirements for car comfort continue to increase, the demand for headrest functions by drivers and passengers is also increasing. When drivers and passengers sleep on car seats, since the neck muscles are in a relaxed state after entering the sleep state, they generally need to lean their heads against the side supports. Therefore, existing car headrests are usually set as sleeping headrests, that is, headrest side wings are set on both sides of the headrest frame to maximize the comfort requirements of passengers.

[0003] In the automotive industry, fatigue damage is the main cause of failure of most key components. Fatigue durability, as one of the core indicators to measure vehicle performance, not only directly affects the safety, reliability and economy of the vehicle, but also has a far-reaching impact on the brand image and market reputation of the vehicle. Therefore, both automobile manufacturers and consumers have paid unprecedented attention to this performance indicator. Especially for the seat headrest, which is a component that directly contacts the driver, the importance of its fatigue durability performance is self-evident. The traditional automobile seat headrest side wing fatigue durability test device uses a robotic arm to implement the seat headrest side wing fatigue durability test. Since the left and right wings of the headrest are tested separately, the time cycle is long and the cost is high. Utility Model Content

[0006] In the above scheme: the linear guide rail is provided with a front stop point and a rear stop point for limiting the forward and backward sliding stroke of the transverse bracket, thereby limiting the flip angle of the splint, and further limiting the folding angle of the left and right wings of the headrest. The front and rear stop points of the linear guide rail can be adjusted to control the running stroke of the left and right wings of the headrest, that is, the utility model can be applied to fatigue endurance tests of different headrest wings, which is conducive to saving the cost of the test.
