[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an adjustable elastic support frame for a car seat includes a frame body 7. An elastic support assembly is provided on the frame body 7. The elastic support assembly includes two suspension steel wires 1 symmetrically arranged along the center line of the frame body 7 and a pull rope 3 wrapped in a cross shape around the two suspension steel wires 1. The upper and lower ends of the suspension steel wires 1 are respectively connected to the frame body 7. An adjustment assembly for adjusting the elastic support assembly is provided on the frame body 7. Both ends of the pull rope 3 are connected to the adjustment assembly. The adjustment assembly includes a mounting plate 5 fixedly connected to the frame body 7 and an adjustment knob 6 provided on the mounting plate 5 for adjusting the tension or reset of the pull rope 3. The adjustment knob 6 is provided with a tightening structure for adjusting the tension of the pull rope 3 and a reset structure for resetting the pull rope 3.

[0021] The tightening structure includes a ratchet 601 housed within an adjustment knob 6 and a rotating rod 602 fixedly connected to the ratchet 601. One end of the rotating rod 602 passes through a fixed plate 4 and is fixedly connected to a knob cover 603, while the other end is rotatably connected to the adjustment knob 6. The adjustment knob 6 also contains a pawl 604 that matches the ratchet 601. Both ends of the pull rope 3 are fixedly connected to the ratchet 601. By fixing both ends of the pull rope 3 to the ratchet 601, the rotating rod 602 drives the ratchet 601 to rotate, and the pawl 604 then fixes the ratchet 601 in place. Tightening the pull rope 3 is achieved when the knob cover 603 is rotated.

[0022] The reset structure includes a fixed sleeve 605 disposed in the adjustment knob 6 and a sliding sleeve 606 slidably connected in the fixed sleeve 605. One end of the sliding sleeve 606 is connected to the rotating rod 602 bearing. The sliding sleeve 606 is provided with a mounting groove for mounting the bearing. At least one locking block 607 is provided on the outer periphery of the sliding sleeve 606 to restrict the rotation of the sliding sleeve 606 in the fixed sleeve 605. The fixed sleeve 605 is provided with a sliding groove 608 for the locking block 607 to slide up and down. By connecting the tightening structure to the bearing of the sliding sleeve 606, and with the bearing installed inside the sliding sleeve 606, the sliding sleeve 606 is limited by the sliding groove 608 inside the fixed sleeve 605 and the locking block 607 on the sliding sleeve 606, preventing the sliding sleeve 606 from rotating inside the fixed sleeve 605 when the tightening structure rotates. The sliding sleeve 606 slides back and forth inside the fixed sleeve 605, thereby causing the tightening structure to slide back and forth inside the adjusting knob 6. When it is necessary to loosen the pull rope 3 to put it in a relaxed state, pull the twist cover 603 backward, so that the ratchet teeth of the ratchet 601 disengage from the pawl 604. When the pawl 604 can no longer restrain the ratchet 601, the two ends of the pull rope 3 pull the ratchet 601 to reset, and the pull rope 3 enters a relaxed state.

[0023] The suspension wire 1 is made of elastic steel wire bent into a wave shape. A rope fixing sleeve 2 for fixing the pull rope 3 is set on the crest of the wave on the side where the two suspension wires 1 are close to each other. Making the suspension wire 1 into a wave shape increases the strength of the suspension wire 1, and setting the rope fixing sleeve 2 on the crest of the wave on the side where it is close to each other makes it easier to install the pull rope 3 and wrap it around the suspension wire 1.

[0024] The pull rope fixing sleeve 2 includes an "L"-shaped sleeve portion 201 located at the crest of the suspension steel wire 1 and an "L"-shaped mounting portion 202 connected to the sleeve portion 201. The mounting portion 202 and the sleeve portion 201 are arranged opposite each other to form a rhombus. One end of the mounting portion 202 is fixedly connected to the sleeve portion 201, and a gap is left between the other end and the sleeve portion 201 for the pull rope 3 to be inserted. The outer surface of the sleeve portion 201 is smooth. The pull rope fixing sleeve 2 is injection molded. The smooth outer surface of the sleeve portion 201 and the injection molding of the pull rope fixing sleeve 2 can reduce the friction force on the pull rope 3 when the pull rope 3 is tightened or reset. The sleeve portion 201 is made of smooth high-strength plastic or metal. The pull rope fixing sleeve 2 is injection molded by bending the suspension steel wire 1 into a wave shape and placing it into the mold. The one-piece injection molding ensures a firm connection between the pull rope fixing sleeve 2 and the suspension steel wire 1.

[0025] The pull rope 3 is made of high-strength, elastic, and wear-resistant fiber. During installation, the pull rope 3 can be inserted into the gap left on the pull rope fixing sleeve 2 by external force due to its own elasticity. When the pull rope 3 is wrapped around the suspension steel wire 1, it will not fall off the pull rope fixing sleeve 2 due to its own weight.

[0026] The frame body includes sheet metal frames symmetrically arranged on both sides and a "U"-shaped steel pipe connector welded to the upper end of the sheet metal frames. A mounting rod 8 is arranged horizontally on the connector, and the upper end of the suspension wire 1 is connected to the mounting rod 8.

[0027] The upper and lower ends of the suspension wire 1 are welded to the mounting rod 8 and the frame body 7 respectively via a fixing plate 4. The fixing plate 4 is formed by bending sheet metal. The sheet metal bending ensures the strength of the fixing plate 4 itself, and then the suspension wire 1 is welded to the fixing plate 4 to ensure the strength of the suspension wire 1.

[0028] Adjustable elastic support frames can be used on seat backs or seat cushions to ensure seating comfort.

[0029] The tension of the pull rope 3 is controlled by the adjustment mechanism, thus keeping it taut on the suspension wire 1. The adjustment knob 6 also has a reset mechanism, which can reset the pull rope 3 after it is tightened, so that the pull rope 3 is in a slack state on the suspension wire 1. By adjusting the tension or slack of the pull rope 3, the different needs of passengers of different body types can be met. Moreover, the pull rope 3 is lightweight and its state can be manually controlled, which can ensure the long-term use of the car seat's elastic support frame.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
