Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle seats, in particular to a footrest mechanism in the middle of a vehicle seat backrest. Background Art

[0002] Today, zero-gravity seats are an innovative type of comfort seats. During the use of zero-gravity seats, the occupant can adjust the seat to achieve a large-angle lying posture, bringing a more comfortable sitting position. The traditional vehicle seat footrest is arranged at the lower part of the seat cushion skeleton or the lower part of the backrest skeleton. However, as zero-gravity seats are gradually used in the rear seats of vehicles, the traditional footrest mechanism cannot meet the demand for placing the feet in the zero-gravity posture of the second-row occupants. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a footrest mechanism in the middle of a vehicle seat backrest to meet the demand for placing the feet in the zero-gravity posture of the second-row occupants and overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art.

[0004] A footrest mechanism in the middle of a vehicle seat backrest provided by the utility model includes a footrest mechanism installed at the middle position of the backrest skeleton. The footrest mechanism includes a driving motor, a footrest connecting rotating shaft, a footrest link bracket, a footrest support plate, and a driving toothed plate. The driving motor is fixedly connected to the backrest skeleton through a motor bracket. The footrest connecting rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the middle position of the backrest skeleton in the transverse direction. The footrest link bracket is fixedly connected to the footrest connecting rotating shaft. The footrest support plate is installed on the footrest link bracket. The driving toothed plate is fixedly connected to one side of the footrest connecting rotating shaft. The teeth of the driving toothed plate mesh with the driving gear of the driving motor. The driving motor drives the driving toothed plate to rotate. The driving toothed plate drives the footrest connecting rotating shaft to rotate. The footrest connecting rotating shaft drives the footrest support plate installed on the footrest link bracket to rotate, so that the footrest support plate makes a retracting and extending movement relative to the backrest skeleton.

[0005] As a preference of the utility model, a set of torsion springs is sleeved on the footrest connecting rotating shaft. A spring bracket fixedly connected to the backrest skeleton is arranged below the footrest connecting rotating shaft. Two connecting ends of the torsion spring are respectively fixedly connected to the footrest connecting rotating shaft and the spring bracket. The torsion spring is used to assist the driving motor to drive the footrest support plate to retract and extend.

[0006] As a preference of the utility model, the footrest link bracket is L-shaped.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0008] 1. The footrest mechanism installed at the middle position of the backrest skeleton of the utility model can solve the problem that the Z-directional drop between the first-row seat and the second-row seat is large and cannot meet the demand for placing the feet in the zero-gravity posture of the second-row occupants.

[0009] 2. The pedal assembly of the present utility model is arranged in the middle position of the backrest frame, avoiding other functional components of the seat back. During operation, the opening and closing of the pedal are controlled by a motor driving a toothed plate, which cooperates with the zero-gravity posture of the second-row occupants to lift the feet.
