[0009] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, more than two through holes for installing the cushion are provided on the cross beam of the cushion base, and three countersunk holes arranged in a triangle on the upper rear side of the cushion base, one of the countersunk holes is used to install the first hinge shaft and the fixed gear, and the other two countersunk holes are used to fix the fixed gear.

[0010] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, two through holes for installing the backrest square tube are provided above the backrest base.

[0011] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, a rotating arm is hinged above the locking tooth through a third hinge shaft, and the cantilever portion of the rotating arm is inserted into the pull groove above the locking tooth. A third torsion spring is mounted on the third hinge shaft, and the third torsion spring always applies force to the rotating arm so that it moves in the direction of engagement between the locking tooth and the fixed gear. The action of the pull wire terminal of the adjustment component can drive the rotating arm to rotate and thereby drive the locking tooth to disengage from the fixed gear and unlock it.

[0012] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment handle or adjustment button installed on the armrest, a pull wire terminal and a rotating arm, one end of the pull wire terminal is fixed on the adjustment handle or adjustment button, and the other end is fixed to the middle of the rotating arm. The adjustment handle or adjustment button is toggled, and the rotating arm is driven to rotate through the pull wire terminal, thereby driving the locking tooth to disengage from the fixed gear and unlock it. The angle of the backrest base can be adjusted by rotating the backrest base. The adjustment handle or adjustment button is released, and under the action of the third torsion spring installed on the rotating arm, the locking tooth is engaged with the fixed gear to lock the adjusted angle.

[0013] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the seat cushion base, backrest base, first hinge shaft, fixed gear, second hinge shaft, locking tooth, and first torsion spring are symmetrically installed in two sets. The two seat cushion bases are connected by seat cushion square tubes to install the seat cushion, and the two backrest bases are connected by backrest square tubes to install the backrest and rotate synchronously when the backrest angle is adjusted.

[0014] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the other end of the pull wire terminal connected to the adjustment handle or adjustment button on the armrest is connected to one end of the branch joint, and the other end of the branch joint is connected to two pull wire terminals, and the two pull wire terminals are respectively fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating arms on both sides.

[0015] The outstanding advantages of the utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0016] 1. The utility model only uses a fixed gear and a locking tooth as the main parts for adjusting the angle, so the thickness can be made larger and the strength is high, which can meet the strength requirements of the aircraft seat when it encounters impact.

[0017] 2. The utility model adopts three torsion springs as the original reset element, which occupies a small space, makes the structure compact, and is easy to install and use on the vehicle seat.

[0018] 3. The utility model adopts a pull wire terminal to control the unlocking or locking of the locking teeth and the fixed gear on both sides, which has a simple structure and is easy to install on the seat.

[0019] 4. This utility model abandons the traditional gas spring adjustment method and adopts gear adjustment as the adjustment method, which makes the backrest adjustment angle range larger and does not cause the seat cushion to move, making the riding experience more comfortable.

[0020] 5. The structure of this utility model is more integrated, the parts are smaller in size and weight, which better meets the weight requirements of airlines. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
