The leg rest skeleton includes a leg rest skeleton assembly 1, a deployment motor 2, a telescopic link assembly 3, a support plate 4, a width adjustment motor 5, and a plastic guide sleeve 6. The deployment motor 2 is assembled with the leg rest skeleton assembly 1 through a rivet 1013, and the width adjustment motor 5 is assembled with the telescopic link assembly 3 and the support plate 4 through screws. The three-dimensional view of the support plate 4 is as Figure 8 shown, and the three-dimensional view of the width adjustment motor 5 is as Figure 9 shown.

[0029] The telescopic link assembly 3 is assembled and connected with the leg rest skeleton assembly 1 through the plastic guide sleeve 6. The three-dimensional view of the deployment motor 2 is as Figure 6 shown. The adjustment of the deployment angle of the leg rest is realized through the deployment motor 2, and the adjustment of the support width of the leg rest is realized through the width adjustment motor 5 and the telescopic link assembly 3.

[0030] As Figure 2 shown, the leg rest skeleton assembly 1 includes a support link riveting assembly 101. The number of the support link riveting assemblies 101 is two and they are symmetrically arranged. Between the two support link riveting assemblies 101, a motor fixing seat sub-assembly 102, a driving reinforcement tube assembly 103, a reinforcement tube 105, and a fixing seat 104 are successively fixed from left to right.

[0031] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, the support link riveting assembly 101 includes a link base 1011, a first link 1012, a rivet 1013, a support plate fixing seat 1014, an insertion tube fixing seat 1015, a second link 1016, a third link 1017, and a fourth link 1018.

The second link 1016 is connected to the first link 1012 and the support plate fixing seat 1014 by the rivet 1013.

[0032] As Figure 4 shown in the figure, the motor fixing seat sub-assembly 102 includes a motor fixing seat 1021 and a link base reinforcing tube 1022. The motor fixing seat 1021 and the link base reinforcing tube 1022 are welded and assembled.
