Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of leg supports for automobile seats, in particular to a four-way leg support with a multi-link mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Among the currently available leg support mechanisms for car seats, most are two-way leg support mechanisms that can only be unfolded and cannot be further extended after unfolding, so that the passenger's calf cannot be fully supported, resulting in poor comfort and a poor experience.

[0003] To address this technical problem, some structures in which the leg rests can move forward and backward have appeared on the market, so that the leg rests can be lifted and moved forward and backward at the same time to achieve four-way adjustment.

[0004] For example, the new multifunctional leg rest disclosed in the Chinese invention patent with patent publication number CN115027337A, the leg rest can be moved forward and backward and is arranged on the lower slide, and a guide structure is provided between the corresponding leg rest and both sides of the lower slide, and a concave cavity is provided in the middle of the lower slide, and synchronous wheels arranged front and back are provided in the concave cavity, and a synchronous belt is wound around the synchronous wheel, and a first power source is provided. The first power source is combined with the guide structures arranged on both sides of the lower slide to realize the forward and backward movement of the leg rest, but the guide structures on the side that connect the leg rest and the lower slide through the side tracks are prone to deformation when the leg rest bears weight, and the middle of the leg rest cannot be effectively supported and is prone to deformation, and the load-bearing capacity is poor. At the same time, the guide structures on both sides are prone to getting stuck with debris, and the leg rest makes a lot of noise when moving. Therefore, a four-way leg rest with a multi-link mechanism is needed that can improve the load-bearing capacity, is not easy to get stuck with debris, and has low noise. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a four-way leg support of a multi-link mechanism, comprising a motor bracket, a drive assembly 1 is installed on the motor bracket, the output end of the drive assembly 1 is hinged with a hinge, the hinge is fixedly connected to a balancing push rod, both ends of the balancing push rod are hinged with a group of connecting rod assemblies, the connecting rod assemblies are connected to the motor bracket, a support plate assembly supporting the leg is installed on the connecting rod assembly, a drive assembly 2 is installed below the support plate assembly, the output end of the drive assembly 2 is threadedly connected with a connecting frame, the connecting frame is fixed to the supporting platform, and the pedal is driven to slide along the supporting platform by the screw motor 2;

By arranging the slide rail assembly between the pedal and the supporting platform, the structure is made more stable, and at the same time, it is less likely for debris to enter the interior of the slide rail assembly to block the sliding of the pedal.

[0009] Furthermore, the slide rail assembly includes a slide installed on the supporting platform, a ball bracket is provided on the slide, a rollable ball is provided on the ball bracket, a sliding core is provided on the slide, the sliding core is supported by the ball and can slide along the slide, the sliding core is fixed on the reinforcing bracket, and the reinforcing bracket is installed on the pedal. The supporting platform and the pedal can be extended obliquely upward through the connecting rod mechanism, and at the same time cooperate with the pedal slidably connected to the supporting platform to achieve four-way adjustment. The use of ball bearings to support the sliding core makes the movement lighter and quieter.

[0010] Furthermore, a first limit block is fixed on the upper side of both ends of the slide, a second limit block is fixed on the lower side of the reinforcement bracket, a reinforcement plate is fixed on the bottom of the slide, and a limit plate is fixed on the reinforcement plate to limit the moving distance of the pedal to prevent the pedal from moving too far and becoming out of fit.

[0011] Furthermore, the reinforcing bracket and the slide are respectively connected to the pedal and the supporting platform through first bolt threads, which facilitates the disassembly of the slide and the reinforcing bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, support bars are clamped on the two sixth connecting rods to provide support and protection, making the structure of the connecting rod assembly more stable.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
