During use, the front-back position of the seat is adjusted as needed to increase the use comfort of the automotive seat. The existing automotive seat slide rail assembly generally consists of an upper rail, a lower rail, balls and a locking assembly. The balls are generally installed at the connection of the side surfaces of the upper rail and the lower rail. The structure is simple and the use cost is low. However, there is generally a lack of connection and support at the upper and lower connections of the upper rail and the lower rail. Only the side balls are used for connection, and the contact area is small. Therefore, it is easy to cause wear and generate gaps, which in turn causes the seat to shake, affecting its own service life. For the locking unit of its slide rail, the locking part generally needs to be rotated and moved to release the lock. During the removal process, vertical and horizontal displacements are required. Therefore, during the process of adjusting the seat, it is necessary to push the seat to make a small horizontal displacement. It is rather laborious to open the locking assembly, affecting the convenience during use. Summary of the Utility Model

Specific embodiments

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1-6, this embodiment provides a technical solution: an automotive seat slide assembly, including a lower rail 1. There are two lower rails 1. The upper rails 2 are slidably connected to the inside of each lower rail 1. The lower rail 1 is connected to the automotive carriage, and the automotive seat is installed on the upper rail 2. The upper surfaces of the two upper rails 2 are fixedly connected by two connecting plates 3. The connecting plates 3 connect and position the two upper rails 2. At the left and right ends of the bottom wall of the lower rail 1, there are first cages 11. Inside the circular holes on the upper surface of the first cages 11, evenly distributed first balls 12 are installed. On the left and right inner sidewalls of the lower rail 1, there are second cages 14. Inside the second cages 14, evenly distributed second balls 15 are installed. At the upper ends inside the lower rail 1, there are third cages 17. Inside the third cages 17, evenly distributed third balls 18 are installed. The third balls 18 are located between the lower rail 1 and the upper rail 2. The upper rail 2 slides under the support of the first balls 12, the second balls 15, and the third balls 18, reducing the friction between the upper rail 2 and the lower rail 1. At the same time, multiple groups of balls have a good support and positioning effect on the upper rail 2. Arc-shaped grooves 13 are provided on the lower surface of the upper rail 2 and the bottom wall of the lower rail 1. The first balls 12 are all located between two vertically corresponding arc-shaped grooves 13. Arc-shaped grooves 16 are provided on the left and right inner sidewalls of the lower rail 1 and the left and right inner side surfaces of the upper rail 2. The second balls 15 are all located between longitudinally adjacent arc-shaped grooves 16. The arc-shaped grooves 13 and 16 increase the contact area between the upper rail 2 and the lower rail 1 and the balls, thereby reducing wear and extending the service life. On one side of the upper end of the lower rail 1 near the horizontal center of the connecting plate 3, evenly distributed card slots 7 are opened. On the lower surface of the front connecting plate 3, symmetrically distributed sliding columns 4 are provided. A support bar 5 is slidably connected between the two sliding columns 4. The support bar 5 moves upward along the sliding columns 4. At the left and right ends of the support bar 5, there are clamping columns 6. The clamping columns 6 are all movably clamped with the vertically corresponding card slots 7. Rotating rollers 10 are rotatably connected to the outer arc surfaces of the clamping columns 6. The rollers 10 are located inside the card slots 7. The clamping columns 6 drive the rollers 10 to separate from the card slots 7, and then the upper rail 2 can be slid to adjust the position of the seat. Inside the grooves on the upper surface of the support bar 5, there are spring pieces 8. The upper ends of the spring pieces 8 are slidably connected to the upper sidewall of the front connecting plate 3. The support bar 5 drives the spring pieces 8 and the clamping columns 6 to move upward. The spring pieces 8 are elastically deformed under extrusion. The ends of the spring pieces 8 slide relative to the upper sidewall of the connecting plate 3. It also includes a day-shaped handle 9. The rear end of the day-shaped handle 9 is rotatably connected to the front connecting plate 3. The middle part of the day-shaped handle 9 is slidably connected to the long sliding hole in the middle of the support bar 5. When the day-shaped handle 9 is lifted upward, the day-shaped handle 9 rotates around the rotation hole at the rear end of the front connecting plate 3. The cross bar in the middle of the day-shaped handle 9 slides relative to the long sliding hole in the middle of the support bar 5. Positioning plates 19 are provided at the front and rear ends of the upper rail 2. A positioning column 20 is provided in the middle of the lower rail 1. The positioning column 20 is located between two longitudinally corresponding positioning plates 19. The positioning plates 19 limit the movement range of the upper rail 2 through the positioning column 20.

[0023] The working principle of the vehicle seat slide rail assembly provided by the present utility model is as follows: The lower rail 1 is connected to the vehicle compartment, and the vehicle seat is installed on the upper rail 2. When adjusting the seat, the "day"-shaped handle 9 is lifted upward. The "day"-shaped handle 9 rotates around the rotation hole at the rear end of the connecting plate 3 on the front side. The cross bar in the middle of the "day"-shaped handle 9 and the long sliding hole in the middle of the support bar 5 slide relative to each other, thereby driving the support bar 5 to move upward along the sliding column 4. The support bar 5 drives the spring piece 8 and the clamping column 6 to move upward. The spring piece 8 is squeezed and undergoes elastic deformation. The end of the spring piece 8 slides relative to the upper side wall of the connecting plate 3. The clamping column 6 drives the roller 10 to separate from the card slot 7. Then, the upper rail 2 can be slid to adjust the position of the seat. The upper rail 2 slides under the support of the first ball 12, the second ball 15, and the third ball 18, reducing the friction between the upper rail 2 and the lower rail 1. At the same time, multiple groups of balls have a good support and positioning effect on the upper rail 2. The first arc groove 13 and the second arc groove 16 increase the contact area between the upper rail 2 and the lower rail 1 and the balls, thereby reducing wear and extending the service life.

[0024] The above are only the embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model accordingly. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be similarly included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
