[0035] The following further describes the present utility model in detail through specific embodiments in conjunction with the drawings.

[0036] Refer to Figures 1 to 9 , Figure 1 which is the perspective view of the present utility model, Figure 2 which is the exploded view of the present utility model, Figure 3 which is the exploded view of the present utility model with the housing removed, Figures 4 to 6 which is the perspective view of a partial structure of the present utility model; Figure 7 , Figure 8 which is the perspective view of a partial structure of the present utility model with the housing removed, Figure 9 which is the perspective view of the knob of the present utility model; An angle adjustment mechanism provided by the present utility model includes a housing 1, a rotating shaft 2, a first gear 3, a transmission part 4, a large claw 5, a knob 6, a lever 7, and a button 8. The rotating shaft 2 is disposed through the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to a component whose angle needs to be adjusted (such as a table board of an automobile seat back). The first gear 3 is disposed on the rotating shaft 2, and the transmission part 4 is connected to the first gear 3. The transmission part 4 includes a ratchet 41. The transmission part 4 can synchronously transmit the rotation of the rotating shaft 2 to the ratchet 41. The large claw 5 is connected to the transmission part 4. The large claw 5 is rotatable and is used to restrict the movement of the transmission part 4. The large claw 5 is provided with teeth 51 that mesh with the ratchet 41. The locking and unlocking of the rotating shaft 2 can be achieved through the meshing relationship between the large claw 5 and the ratchet 41. The knob 6 is connected to the large claw 5. The knob 6 can control the meshing or non-meshing of the large claw 5 and the ratchet 41. The lever 7 is connected to the knob 6, and the button 8 is connected to the lever 7.

[0037] In one embodiment, the transmission part 4 includes a plurality of transmission shafts 42. The transmission shafts 42 are provided with gears 43 for transmission. Different transmission shafts 42 are meshed and rotated with each other through the gears 43. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 2, the rotation speed is gradually transmitted from the first gear 3 and the plurality of gears 43 to the ratchet 41. In one embodiment, the rotation speed gradually increases from the first gear 3 to the plurality of gears 43, and finally reaches a transmission ratio of 1:4.

[0038] The knob 6 is formed with a first flat surface 61 and a first arc surface 62. When the first flat surface 61 contacts the bottom surface of the large pawl 5, the large pawl 5 meshes with the ratchet wheel 41, being in a locked state; when the first arc surface 62 contacts the bottom surface of the large pawl 5, the large pawl 5 disengages from the ratchet wheel 41, being in an unlocked state.

[0039] A large pawl spring 52 for pressing the large pawl 5 is provided on the large pawl 5 to ensure the stability of the locked state. One end of the large pawl spring 52 is clamped on a positioning pin 53 provided on the large pawl 5.

[0040] A key spring 81 is provided on the key 8. Preferably, two key springs 81 are provided, respectively on the key 8 above and below the lever 7, to provide bidirectional elastic force to the key 8, that is, one end of the key spring 81 abuts against the lever 7, and the other end abuts against the inner surface of the housing 1.

[0041] In an embodiment, it further includes a left side plate 10, a middle plate 11, and a right side plate 12 which are arranged inside the housing 1 for connecting and fixing related parts. One ends of the left side plate 10, the middle plate 11, and the right side plate 12 are all connected to the rotating shaft 2, that is, the rotating shaft 2 penetrates through one ends of the left side plate 10, the middle plate 11, and the right side plate 12. The other ends of the left side plate 10, the middle plate 11, and the right side plate 12 are all fixed by fasteners 13. The first gear 3 is located between the middle plate 11 and the left side plate 10. The ratchet wheel 41 and the large pawl 5 are located between the middle plate 11 and the right side plate 12. The ratchet wheel 41 is arranged on the transmission shaft 42 of the last stage of the transmission part 4. Two ends of the large pawl 5 are rotatably connected to corresponding holes of the middle plate 11 and the right side plate 12. One end of the large pawl spring 52 is clamped on a positioning pin 53 provided on the large pawl 5, and the other end abuts against a stop piece 121 extended from the right side plate 12. The knob 6 passes through the middle plate 11. Two ends of the knob 6 are rotatably connected to the left side plate 10 and the right side plate 12. A connecting piece 64 for connecting the lever 7 is provided on the knob 6. A guiding groove 101 is provided on the left side plate 10. The guiding groove 101 is used to guide the movement of the lever 7. The key 8 is arranged outside the left side plate 10 and penetrates through the housing 1. After pressing the key 8, the lever 7 moves up and down along the guiding groove 101, and then rotates the knob 6 to realize the unlocking and locking functions.

[0042] In one embodiment, it further includes a small claw 9 and a small claw spring 91. The small claw 9 is disposed opposite to the large claw 5 and connected to the dial 6, that is, the small claw 9 and the large claw 5 are respectively disposed on both sides of the dial 6. The small claw 9 is used to lock the dial 6. Both ends of the small claw 9 are rotatably connected to corresponding holes of the middle plate 11 and the right side plate 12. One end of the small claw spring 91 is clamped on a positioning pin 92 provided on the small claw 9, and the other end abuts against a stop piece 122 extending from the right side plate 12. A second plane 63 is formed on the dial 6. When the second plane 63 contacts the inner surface of the small claw 9, the small claw 9 locks the dial 6 under the drive of the small claw spring 91.

[0043] The following will refer to Figures 1 to 9 to illustrate the working principle of the present utility model.

[0044] Locking working principle:

[0045] The angle adjusting member is connected to the rotating shaft 2. During the flipping process of the angle adjusting member, the rotating shaft 2 rotates slowly. When the large claw 5 meshes with the ratchet wheel 41 under the drive of the large claw spring 52, the first plane 61 of the dial 6 contacts the bottom surface of the large claw 5, and the rotating shaft 2 is in a locked state, so that the angle adjusting member can be hovered.

[0046] Unlocking working principle:

[0047] The angle adjusting member is connected to the rotating shaft 2. After pressing the button 8, the button 8 drives the dial 6 to rotate. The first arc surface 62 of the dial 6 flips to lift the large claw 5, and the large claw 5 leaves the ratchet wheel 41. At this time, the ratchet wheel 41 is unlocked, and the angle adjusting member can be adjusted up or down arbitrarily. At the same time, after the second plane 63 rotates and abuts against the inner surface of the small claw 9, the small claw 9 and the second plane 63 are stationary under the drive of the small claw spring 91, and the dial 6 is in a locked state to prevent the dial 6 from automatically rotating back; pressing the button 8 again can make the rotating shaft 2 in a locked state to realize the hovering of the angle adjusting member.

[0048] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
