[0025] The specific working process and principle of the present invention are as follows: when the leg mechanism is retracted, the front ends of the leg links one and two rotate downward, and the leg link three rotates around the pivot axis with the leg link two while moving toward the rear side. The large footrest moves toward the side of the seat frame mounting plate along with the leg link. At the same time, the leg link four pulls the large footrest to rotate downward around the axis of the leg link two and the pivot axis of the large footrest. Since the distance between the pivot axes of the front ends of the leg links three and four is shortened, the rotation angle of the large footrest during retraction can be increased, thereby increasing the distance between the footrest and the ground when it is retracted, avoiding scraping the ground and improving the user experience.
