[0043] Furthermore, the friction surface 343 is located in the slot, and the friction surface 343 contacts the arc-shaped convex edge 311 .

[0044] It can be seen from the above description that arranging the friction surface 343 in the slot can make the locking assembly 3 more compact and reduce the production consumables of the clamping block 34 .

[0045] Furthermore, the first groove 321 on the clamping block 34 is a U-shaped groove.

[0046] It can be seen from the above description that the U-shaped groove can guide a partial area of ​​the locking block 32 to extend into the first groove 321 , and at the same time allow the locking hole to better lock the seat bow 11 .

[0047] The vehicle seat mechanism comprises the locking assembly 3 mentioned above.

[0048] It can be seen from the above description that the seat cushion 1 in the vehicle seat mechanism can at least be adjusted in pitch.

[0050] It can be seen from the above description that the seat cushion 1 in the seat mechanism can be adjusted to slide forward and backward.

[0051] Furthermore, the locking mechanism 6 includes a matching T-nut 61 and a locking screw 62, a through hole 51 is provided on the slide rail 5, the slider 4 has a straight groove 41 arranged along its sliding direction, one end of the locking screw 62 passes through the through hole 51 and the straight groove 41 to connect the T-nut 61, and the T-nut 61 presses the slider 4.

[0052] It can be seen from the above description that the locking mechanism 6 has a simple structure and good working stability.

[0053] A fitness bicycle comprises the above-mentioned seat mechanism.

[0054] It can be seen from the above description that the fitness bike at least has the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned seat mechanism.
