Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicle accessories, and in particular relates to an actively driven automobile seat adjustment slide rail and also to the automobile seat thereof. Background Art
[0002] As is known in the industry, the car seat slide rail is an important part of the car seat, which is not only related to the fixation of the car seat, but also plays a role in adjusting the car seat and is also related to many factors such as the safety of passengers. As for the macroscopic structure of the car seat slide rail, it is mainly composed of a lower slide rail (also called "outer slide rail"), an upper slide rail (also called "inner slide rail") and a driving mechanism for driving the upper slide rail to move along the lower slide rail as required (such as forward or backward displacement) to achieve adjustment. Since the car seat is fixed to the upper slide rail through its seat pan, when the upper slide rail is driven by the driving mechanism to move forward or backward, it drives the seat pan and the car seat to move accordingly.
[0003] From the above description, it can be seen that since the lower slide rail is a static slide rail, that is, once installed on the vehicle, it is fixed to the vehicle floor (also called the "carriage floor"), so the reliable fixation between it and the vehicle floor is relatively strict, and in particular, it is necessary to ensure that during daily use, there will be no problems such as even slight movement, looseness, deformation, and sticking (deformation and sticking will affect the normal function of the upper slide rail or even make it impossible to adjust). Since the upper slide rail is a dynamic slide rail, once it is combined with the lower slide rail to form a sliding pair, the corresponding technical requirements are also relatively strict. For example, it is required that there is no abnormal noise during the sliding process (usually the sliding resistance of the assembly is 30-225N when it is subjected to a downward load of 75kg), there is no sticking point within the sliding adjustment stroke range, the sliding is smooth, the synchronous locking and unlocking are reliable, the adjustment accuracy is accurate, the durability and strength are excellent, etc.
[0004] A large amount of technical information related to automotive seat slides can be found in publicly available Chinese patent documents. Typically, for example, the "high-strength independent electric slide rail" recommended by CN215204537U has the following structure: It includes an upper slide rail (i.e., the "inner slide rail"), a lower slide rail (i.e., the "outer slide rail"), an electric drive mechanism installed on the upper slide rail, a worm and worm gear transmission mechanism and a lead screw and nut transmission mechanism installed inside the upper slide rail. Among them, the worm in the worm and worm gear transmission mechanism is connected to the output shaft of the electric drive mechanism (substantially a motor with forward and reverse functions). The worm meshes with the worm gear to transmit power (the worm drives the worm gear). The nut in the lead screw and nut transmission mechanism is formed by the internal thread configured inside the worm gear or is separately a nut configured inside the worm gear. The internal thread or nut inside the worm gear rotates with the worm gear. The lead screw passes through the internal thread inside the worm gear or through the nut inside the worm gear and meshes with the thread to receive power from the worm gear driven by the worm. The lead screw is connected to the lower slide rail (specifically, refer to paragraphs 0006 to 0009 of the specification of this patent); its working principle can be specifically referred to in paragraph 0094 of the specification.
[0005] According to the description of the above patent and in combination with the corresponding figures given therein, it can be seen that since the lead screw (which can also be called "ball screw" or "screw rod") is fixed in the lower slide rail groove of the lower slide rail, that is, the lead screw is arranged along the length direction of the lower slide rail groove and both ends of the lead screw are fixed to the bottom wall (bottom plate) of the lower slide rail groove through a lead screw support seat (referred to as "lead screw bracket" in the patent <paragraph 0094 of the specification>), the thread inside the aforementioned worm gear or the nut forms a thread pair with the lead screw. Therefore, this structural form has the following deficiencies: Firstly, since the lead screw is fixed and immovable, the displacement of the upper slide rail relative to the lower slide rail is essentially achieved by changing the position on the lead screw. Specifically, the flexible shaft of the electric drive mechanism installed on the upper slide rail drives the worm gear and worm transmission mechanism installed inside the upper slide rail, and the worm gear and worm transmission mechanism moves along the lead screw, causing the upper slide rail to drive the seat pan and the vehicle seat to displace accordingly. Therefore, this adjustment method of the vehicle seat displacement belongs to a passive drive method or a negative drive method. It is difficult to obtain the desired stability during the moving adjustment process in a negative drive method. For example, when the matching error between the thread inside the worm gear or the nut arranged inside the worm gear and the thread pair of the lead screw exceeds the range required by the process design, there will often be a situation of wobbling and imbalance. Secondly, due to being greatly restricted or influenced by traditional design thinking, the lead screw is installed in the lower slide rail through the aforementioned lead screw brackets corresponding to its two ends. Therefore, the installation requirements for the lead screw, such as the horizontal height in the length direction, are extremely strict. And due to the particularity of the structure of the lower slide rail itself, for example, the groove width of the lower slide rail groove is relatively narrow. Under the current equipment and technical conditions, it is still impossible to complete the installation of the lead screw in an automated manner. Therefore, it is usually installed manually by workers. Manual installation is likely to be affected by factors such as the experience, responsibility, and mood of the workers, thus affecting the installation (assembly) quality. Thirdly, since the lead screw is installed in the lower slide rail groove of the lower slide rail, it is inevitable that foreign objects, especially dust and impurities, will enter and accumulate during daily use. As a result, the thread inside the aforementioned worm gear or the nut inside the worm gear will be stuck or adhesively worn.
[0006] The carrier for the movement of the upper slide rail (referred to as "inner slide rail" in the patent) disclosed in "An Electric Slide Rail Driving Mechanism for Vehicle Seats" provided by CN116022040B is also a lead screw arranged inside the lower slide rail (referred to as "outer slide rail" in the patent). Therefore, to a certain extent, it also has the same deficiencies as those of CN215204537U mentioned above. Utility Model Content

The concept of making the upper slide rail cavity 21 communicate with the outside world mentioned here means that the upper slide rail cavity 21 is in communication with the lower slide rail groove 11 at a position corresponding to the screw rod clearance cavity 22, that is, the part of the screw rod clearance cavity 22 of the upper slide rail cavity 21 is in communication with the lower slide rail groove 11.
[0027] The applicant needs to explain in particular that: according to professional common sense, the structure of the actively driven car seat adjustment slide rail described in the utility model undoubtedly has a pair of identical structures. Figures 1 to 3 Although only one of the pair is mentioned in the text, it will not confuse the understanding of those skilled in the art. Further understanding can be obtained by reading CN113320450B (an electric slide rail for a car seat), CN113335151B (an electric slide rail device for a car seat) and CN11602240B (a driving mechanism for an electric slide rail for a vehicle track) and combining the principle of analogy.
[0028] Please focus on Figure 1 , the left end, right end, and upper part in the length direction of the aforementioned lower slide rail groove 11 are open; the left end, right end, and lower part in the length direction of the aforementioned upper slide rail 2 are open; the space between the front folding edge 12 of the lower slide rail 1 of the aforementioned lower slide rail 1 and the front side wall of the lower slide rail 1 constitutes the front roller cavity 14a of the upper slide rail, and the space between the rear folding edge 13 of the lower slide rail 1 of the aforementioned lower slide rail 1 and the rear side wall of the lower slide rail 1 constitutes the rear roller cavity 14b of the upper slide rail; in the lower part of the front side wall in the length direction of the aforementioned upper slide rail 2 and in the middle area in the length direction of the upper slide rail 2, there is formed an upwardly folded upper slide rail front folding edge 23 that is parallel to the front side wall of the upper slide rail 2. The space between the upper slide rail front folding edge 23 and the front side wall of the upper slide rail 2 constitutes a lower slide rail front folding edge insertion cavity 231 for the aforementioned lower slide rail front folding edge 12 to penetrate.

The upper slide rail rear folding edge 24 corresponds to the aforementioned upper slide rail front folding edge 23 and the space between the upper slide rail rear folding edge 24 and the rear side wall of the upper slide rail 2 constitutes a lower slide rail rear folding edge cavity 241 for the aforementioned lower slide rail rear folding edge 13 to penetrate.

The upper slide rail rear roller 242 corresponds to the aforementioned upper slide rail front roller 232 and forms a rolling pair with the bottom wall of the aforementioned rear roller cavity 14b of the upper slide rail.
[0029] As shown by Figure 1 , the space between the opposite sides in the length direction of the aforementioned front and rear folding edges 12 and 13 of the lower slide rail constitutes an active drive type lead screw mechanism insertion cavity 15. The active drive type lead screw mechanism 4 provided in the aforementioned upper slide rail cavity 21 corresponding to the position of the aforementioned lead screw relief cavity 22 is simultaneously engaged with the aforementioned front and rear lead screw thread engagement cavities 121 and 131 at the position corresponding to the aforementioned active drive type lead screw mechanism insertion cavity 15; the aforementioned electric mechanism 3 is provided at the central position in the length direction of the aforementioned upper slide rail 2.
[0030] Continue to see Figures 1 to 3, the top of the upper slide rail cavity 21 of the upper slide rail 2 is closed by the top wall 211 of the upper slide rail cavity. At a position on the top wall 211 of the upper slide rail cavity corresponding to the left end of the above-mentioned positive drive screw mechanism 4, a driving motor shaft relief hole 2111 is provided; the above-mentioned electric mechanism 3 includes a driving motor 31, a driving motor fixing seat 32 and a gear driving screw 33. The driving motor 31 is a motor with forward and reverse functions. The driving motor 31 is fixed to the driving motor fixing seat 32 through driving motor fixing ears 312 spaced circumferentially around the lower part of the driving motor 31 and by means of driving motor fixing ear screws 3121. The driving motor shaft 311 of the driving motor 31 faces downward and extends into the above-mentioned upper slide rail cavity 21 through the above-mentioned driving motor shaft relief hole 2111. The driving motor fixing seat 32 carries the above-mentioned driving motor 31 and is inserted and embedded in the upper part of the above-mentioned upper slide rail 2 and is preferably fixed to the upper slide rail 2 by welding.

The gear driving screw 33 is in transmission cooperation with the above-mentioned positive drive screw mechanism 4.
[0031] The applicant needs to clarify that: if the above-mentioned gear driving screw 33 is processed into an independent component and then fixed to the driving motor shaft 311 by means of a flat key fixing method or other similar methods, then it should be regarded as an equivalent form rather than a substantial change, and still belongs to the technical connotation scope disclosed by the present utility model. In addition, the above-mentioned gear driving screw 33 can be understood as a worm, and accordingly, the front and rear screw bevel gears 432 and 442 mentioned below can be understood as worm wheels. Also, if a gear is reasonably arranged at the end of the driving motor shaft 311, that is, a motor shaft gear is arranged, and the two gears evolved from the front and rear screw bevel gears 432 and 442 with slight modifications are simultaneously driven by this one motor shaft gear, then it is also possible.
[0032] As Figure 1 shown, lubricating oil injection holes 2112 with a quantity not limited by the quantity shown in the figure are also spacedly provided on the above-mentioned top wall 2111 of the upper slide rail cavity.
[0033] The power supply of the aforementioned drive motor 31 is provided by the vehicle on-board power supply of the automobile. This power supply converts the electrical energy of the automobile into the DC power supply required by the drive motor 31, has stable voltage and current characteristics, and can provide reliable power support for the drive motor. In addition, the design of the electric seat takes into account various factors such as safety and functionality. For a pair of positive drive type automobile seat adjustment slide rails, there is a pair of drive motors 31. Each drive motor 31 has its specific functions and control circuits, and can detect and process in a timely manner. Generally speaking, in general, the drive motors 31 of each of a pair of automobile seat slide rails are not connected in series in terms of power supply, but precise control is achieved through independent power supplies and control circuits.
[0034] Please pay special attention to Figure 2 and in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 3 As described above, the positive drive type lead screw mechanism 4 includes an upper cover 41, a lower cover 42, a front lead screw 43 and a rear lead screw 44. The upper and lower covers 41 and 42 are horizontally and face-to-face cooperated with each other and are preferably fixed to each other by screws (not shown in the figure). Together with the front lead screw 43 and the rear lead screw 44, they are arranged in the upper slide rail cavity 21 at a position corresponding to the aforementioned lead screw relief cavity 22. The front lead screw 43 and the rear lead screw 44 correspond to each other front and back. Among them, the front lead screw heads 431 (i.e., the front lead screw heads) at the left and right ends of the front lead screw 43 are respectively supported by a front lead screw head support member 4311 at the left and right ends of the lower cover 42. At the left end of the front lead screw head 431, that is, at a position on the left end of the front lead screw head 431 and on the right side of the aforementioned front lead screw head support member 4311, there is a front lead screw helical gear 432.

[0037] After the aforementioned front lead screw 43 and the rear lead screw 44 are rotatably supported on the aforementioned lower cover 42 (which can also be called "lead screw support seat"), then the upper cover 41 (which can also be called "lead screw limiting seat") is opposed to the lower cover 42 (i.e., face-to-face mating), and then the upper and lower covers 41, 42 are fixed to each other by cover fixing screws (not shown in the figure) fitted at the central positions of the left end and the right end of the upper cover 41.
[0038] According to professional common sense, the pitch (distance between adjacent threads) of the aforementioned front lead screw thread 433 is adapted to the distance between the aforementioned two adjacent front lead screw thread engagement cavities 121. Of course, the width of the front lead screw thread 433 and the width of the front lead screw thread engagement cavity 121 are also adapted to each other. Since the respective distances between the rear lead screw 44 and the rear lead screw thread engagement cavity 131 and the width of the rear lead screw thread 443 are the same by analogy, they will not be elaborated here.

In the use state, the vehicle seat is fixedly connected to the foregoing seat basin connection nut seat 25 through a seat basin.
[0041] The vehicle seat described in the present utility model has an actively driven vehicle seat adjustment slide rail equipped with the foregoing structure.
[0042] When the position of the car seat not shown in the figure is to be adjusted, such as moving it to the right, the passenger operates the control button usually arranged on the side or below the car seat to operate the drive motor 31, and the drive motor shaft 311 drives the gear drive screw 33 with a worm effect. Since the gear drive screw 33 is engaged with the front screw bevel gear 432 with a worm gear effect and the rear screw bevel gear 442 with a worm gear effect at the same time, when the gear drive screw 33 drives the front and rear screw bevel gears 432 and 442 at the same time, the front and rear screws 43 and 44 rotate. Specifically, the front and rear screw threads 433 and 443 are respectively in engagement with the front and rear screw thread engagement cavities 121 and 131, and move along the front and rear folding edges 12 and 13 of the lower rail 1, thereby driving the upper rail 2 and the drive mechanism 3 and the seat basin connecting nut seat 25 provided with the upper rail 2 as a carrier to move to the right accordingly, and the seat basin connecting nut seat 25 drives the seat basin (not shown in the figure) and the car seat provided with the seat basin as a carrier to move to the right accordingly, and after moving to the right to the appropriate degree that the seat occupant feels or requires, the aforementioned control button is released, and the car seat stays at the adjusted position. If the upper rail 2 needs to be adjusted in the opposite direction, such as to the left, then the aforementioned control button is operated in the opposite direction (such as toggling in the opposite direction) to make the rotation direction of the aforementioned drive motor 31 opposite to the aforementioned, and the opposite process is followed until the car seat is adjusted to the left to the degree that the seat occupant feels comfortable. Assuming that the aforementioned rightward adjustment is the forward adjustment and the leftward adjustment is the backward adjustment, the car seat can then be adjusted forward or backward as required.
[0043] In summary, the technical solution provided by the utility model makes up for the shortcomings of the existing technology, successfully completes the invention task, and faithfully realizes the technical effects stated by the applicant in the technical effect column above.
