This means achieving greater utilization within limited space to meet users' demands for greater interior space. Customers are also increasingly demanding greater luggage compartment volume, and they desire more space. However, existing technologies lack a flip mechanism that can fold seats flat. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a flip mechanism suitable for horizontally folding down a car seat backrest, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a flipping mechanism suitable for horizontally folding down a car seat back, comprising a backrest mounting bracket, an inner fixing bracket and an outer fixing bracket, the backrest mounting bracket being adapted to be mounted with a reinforcing plate, the side of the backrest mounting bracket being fixedly mounted with a protruding rotating shaft, the other end of the rotating shaft being fixedly mounted to the inner fixing bracket, the end of the rotating shaft being threaded with a coaxial bolt, the bolt passing through the outer fixing bracket and being movably connected thereto, the inner fixing bracket and the outer fixing bracket being provided with a torsion spring a and a torsion spring b sleeved on the bolt, the diameter of the torsion spring a being larger than the diameter of the torsion spring b, and the outer fixing bracket being driven to reset by the torsion springs a and b after being flipped relative to the inner fixing bracket.

[0005] Preferably, the reinforcing plate, the backrest mounting bracket, the inner fixing bracket and the outer fixing bracket are all formed by sheet metal stamping and bending.

[0006] Preferably, the torsion spring b is located in the inner cavity of the torsion spring a, a cylindrical shaft support a is provided between the torsion spring b and the torsion spring a, the shaft support b is installed on the side of the inner fixed support, and the shaft support b constrains the outer side of the torsion spring a.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the present invention is suitable for completely horizontally folding down the backrests of three-row automobile seats, increasing the luggage compartment space, adopting a torsion spring recovery mechanism to improve passenger comfort, and having a lower cost than an electric mechanism. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0008] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the utility model;

[0009] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the explosion structure of the utility model.

[0010] In the figure: 1. Reinforcement plate; 2. Back mounting bracket; 3. Rotating shaft; 4. Inner fixing bracket; 5. Shaft bracket b; 6. Torsion spring a; 7. Torsion spring b; 8. Outer fixing bracket; 9. Bolt; 10. Shaft bracket a. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0011] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0012] See also Figure 1-2 The present invention provides a technical solution: a flip mechanism suitable for horizontally folding a car seat backrest, comprising a backrest mounting bracket 2, an inner fixing bracket 4, and an outer fixing bracket 8. The reinforcing plate 1, backrest mounting bracket 2, inner fixing bracket 4, and outer fixing bracket 8 are all formed by sheet metal stamping and bending, and are each provided with mounting holes. The reinforcing plate 1 is adapted to be mounted on the backrest mounting bracket 2. A protruding rotating shaft 3 is fixedly mounted on the side of the backrest mounting bracket 2, and the other end of the rotating shaft 3 is fixedly mounted to the inner fixing bracket 4. The reinforcing plate 1, backrest mounting bracket 2, and inner fixing bracket 4 are used to connect to the seat back, and the outer fixing bracket 8 is used to connect to the sheet metal of the vehicle body.
