Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of zero-gravity seats, in particular to a zero-gravity seat collapse mechanism based on occupant protection. Background Art

[0002] Today's zero-gravity seats are innovative comfort seats. When using zero-gravity seats, passengers can adjust the seats to achieve a large-angle reclining position, which brings a more comfortable sitting position. However, due to the large lifting angle of the seat cushion of the zero-gravity seat, the passengers are in a lying position, and the adjustment range of the seat belt is limited. In an emergency, the restraint force of the seat belt on the body is not enough to fully protect the passengers, which poses a safety hazard. Now there is an urgent need for a zero-gravity seat collapse mechanism based on passenger protection, so that the zero-gravity seat can achieve an optimized sitting position after a collision to improve the restraint protection of the passengers.

[0012] 1. The present invention adds a cushion collapse mechanism to the zero-gravity seat cushion so that after a collision occurs, the lower end of the cushion in the zero-gravity position can collapse and absorb energy through the cushion collapse mechanism, so that the cushion frame can quickly return to its initial position.

[0013] 2. The seat cushion collapse mechanism of the present invention adopts a hard rubber sleeve to realize the displacement at the hinge, that is, a hard rubber sleeve is installed on the hinge shaft of the two connecting rods.

However, it is apparent that these embodiments may also be implemented without these specific details. In other examples, for ease of describing one or more embodiments, known structures and devices are shown in the form of block diagrams.

[0019] See also Figure 1-3 The present embodiment provides a zero-gravity seat collapse mechanism based on occupant protection, comprising: a seat pan frame 1, a cushion frame 2, a connecting rod cushion angle adjustment mechanism 3, and a cushion collapse mechanism 4. The bottom of the seat pan frame 1 is fixedly connected to the chassis of the automobile, the rear end of the cushion frame 2 is hinged to the rear end of the seat pan frame 1, the front end of the cushion frame 2 is installed on the front end of the seat pan frame 1 through the connecting rod cushion angle adjustment mechanism 3, the connecting rod cushion angle adjustment mechanism 3 is used for adjusting the angle of the cushion frame 2, the cushion collapse mechanism 4 is installed on the angle adjustment mechanism 3, and the cushion collapse mechanism 4 is used to quickly return the cushion frame 2 to its initial position after a car collision (the seat pan frame is impacted by the occupant).

[0020] The connecting rod cushion angle adjustment mechanism 3 in this embodiment includes: a screw motor 301, a motor bracket 302, a synchronization rod 303, and two two-link mechanisms 304, the free end of the screw 305 of the screw motor 301 is hinged on the seat basin frame 1, the motor end of the screw motor 301 is hinged on the motor bracket 302, the motor bracket 302 is welded on the synchronization rod 303, both ends of the synchronization rod 303 are rotatably connected to the seat basin frame 1, one end of the two two-link mechanisms 304 is welded to the synchronization rod 303, and the other end of the two two-link mechanisms 304 is hinged on the cushion frame 2, the two-link mechanism 304 is composed of a first connecting rod 306, a second connecting rod 307 hinged to the first connecting rod 306, and a hinge shaft 308 connecting the first connecting rod 306 and the second connecting rod 307, the free end of the first connecting rod 306 is welded to the synchronization rod 303, and the free end of the second connecting rod 307 is hinged at the front end position of the bottom of the seat cushion frame 2. The motor bracket 302, the synchronous rod 303, and the first connecting rod 306 are welded together. When the screw motor 301 is started, the screw 305 of the screw motor 301 is extended and pushed the motor bracket 301, and the motor bracket 301 drives the two first connecting rods 306 to move synchronously through the synchronous rod 303, and the two first connecting rods 306 drive the seat cushion frame 2 to be lifted or lowered through their respective second connecting rods 307;

[0021] The seat cushion collapse mechanism 4 in this embodiment is installed on the two-link mechanism 304. After a car collision (the seat pan frame is impacted by the occupant), the seat cushion collapse mechanism 4 drives the two-link mechanism 304 to collapse and deform, so that the seat cushion frame 2 returns to the initial position.

[0022] The seat cushion collapse mechanism 4 in this embodiment includes: a hard rubber sleeve 401 installed on the hinge shaft 308 of the two-link mechanism 304 (the hard rubber sleeve 401 has the same principle as the rubber sleeve of the automobile chassis swing arm), the first link 306 and the second link 307 are hinged on the hard rubber sleeve 401, the middle hole of the hard rubber sleeve 401 is sleeved on the hinge shaft 308, and shielding shoulders are arranged at both ends of the hard rubber sleeve 308.

When the seat cushion frame 2 is impacted by the occupant, the hard rubber sleeve 401 at the hinge of the first link 306 and the second link 307 is deformed by force (using rubber deformation), so that the hinge of the first link 306 and the second link 307 is displaced, thereby causing the seat cushion frame 2 to dive.

Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
