[0002] Whether it is a car seat or an office seat, it directly affects the riding comfort and safety of the user.

[0003] Existing seats usually have various adjustment functions, such as front-back sliding, height adjustment, backrest angle adjustment, etc., so that users can adjust the seat position according to their own needs and body characteristics. Therefore, the electrification of seat adjustment functions is a major trend. Through electrification, users can adjust the seat tilt angle, front-back position, etc. just by pressing or pulling the corresponding button. However, different numbers of internal teeth are often used on both sides of the common adjustment hinge mechanism, and it is still difficult for the current hinge mechanism to achieve concentric relative rotation.

A first shaft hole that can be connected to an external output member is opened inside the central shaft. The number of teeth of the first tooth plate and the second tooth plate is different. The first tooth plate and the second tooth plate are movably attached to the inner wall of the mounting ring. The central axis of the first tooth plate coincides with the central axis of the second tooth plate. The first tooth plate is arranged at one end of the central shaft, and a driving component for driving the second tooth plate to perform concentric relative rotation with the first tooth plate is arranged at the other end of the central shaft.

[0008] The further setting of the utility model is: The driving member is a toothed ring, and the inner side of the driving member is tightly attached to the bushing.

[0009] A further setting of the present utility model is that: the first toothed plate includes a first plate body and a first deepening portion provided on a side of the first plate body away from the second plate body. A second shaft hole adapted to the central axis is opened at the center of the first toothed plate. First tooth blocks are uniformly arranged on the outer wall of the first deepening portion along the circumferential direction.

[0010] A further setting of the present utility model is that: the second toothed plate includes an annular second plate body and a second deepening portion provided on a side of the second plate body away from the first toothed plate. Second tooth blocks are uniformly arranged on the outer wall of the second deepening portion along the circumferential direction. A third shaft hole coaxial with the second shaft hole is opened on the second deepening portion. An internal tooth groove engaged with the driving member is opened on the inner wall of the second plate body.

By providing a central axis, a driving assembly, etc., when the number of teeth of the first toothed plate and the second toothed plate on both sides of the hinge mechanism is different, the second toothed plate is driven by the driving assembly. When the central axis rotates, the central axis drives the first toothed plate to rotate synchronously, and the driving assembly drives the second toothed plate to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the first toothed plate and the second toothed plate rotate concentrically and relatively within the mounting ring, meeting the transmission and cooperation requirements of the hinge mechanism.
