Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric seat technology, and in particular to a seat thigh support mounting structure. Background Technology
[0002] As living standards improve, consumers are demanding higher levels of comfort from their seats. Currently, both vehicle and home seating commonly incorporates electrically adjustable leg rests that automatically extend to support the user's thighs, thereby enhancing seating comfort.
[0003] The electric thigh support for a seat, patent number CN210707038U, includes: a slide, a connecting block, a push block, a leg support plate, a drive motor, and a lead screw. The slide is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the seat basin and has two parallel sliding slots. The connecting block includes a lead screw connection portion and protrusions extending upwards at both ends of the lead screw connection portion. The lead screw connection portion is located on the lower side of the slide, and the protrusions can move back and forth within the corresponding sliding slots. The push block is slidably mounted on the slide and fixedly connected to the protrusions. The leg support plate is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the push block. The drive motor is connected to the lower surface of the seat basin via a motor bracket. The lead screw is mounted on the output end of the drive motor and threadedly engages with the lead screw connection portion. The drive motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the leg support plate to slide back and forth on the seat basin, thus automatically unfolding and retracting the leg support. The leg rest has a relatively simple structure, high positioning accuracy between its components, and is easy to assemble. The leg rest slides smoothly, effectively improving the reliability and comfort of the product.
[0004] However, the aforementioned leg supports are all metal parts, which require high manufacturing processes, have a significant impact on geometric tolerances due to welding, are relatively heavy, and are not conducive to low-carbon and environmental protection. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a seat thigh support installation structure that simplifies the thigh support installation components, optimizes the assembly method, promotes low carbon emissions and environmental protection, reduces manufacturing processes, and is suitable for mass production.
[0006] A seat thigh support mounting structure includes a seat basin, the key feature of which is that a leg support support plate is installed above the seat basin, and a connecting block is installed below the leg support support plate; a drive motor is installed below the seat basin, and a lead screw is threaded onto the output end of the drive motor.
[0007] The seat basin has a sliding groove, and the connecting block passes through the sliding groove and is connected to the lead screw.
[0008] With the above structure, the drive motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the leg support plate to slide back and forth on the seat, thereby realizing the automatic unfolding and retraction of the leg support. The leg support plate is assembled on the upper front surface of the seat, ensuring that the leg support plate and the seat cushion share the same cover. When the leg support is unfolded, there is no gap at the front of the seat, ensuring comfort and improving the user experience.
[0009] This utility model simplifies the installation components and optimizes the assembly method.
[0010] Meanwhile, except for the motor and fasteners, all other components of this invention are made of low-carbon and environmentally friendly recycled or bio-based materials, which makes the manufacturing process less demanding and reduces the weight of this invention.
[0011] Furthermore, at least one base is installed between the seat basin and the leg support plate, and each base is fixedly connected to the seat basin by rivets;
[0012] The leg support plate is movably connected to the base and seat basin by anti-slip bolts; and the leg support plate has an anti-slip groove parallel to the sliding groove.
[0013] The anti-loosening bolt includes an anti-loosening screw, the teeth of which pass through the anti-loosening strip groove and the seat in sequence, and are threadedly connected to the anti-loosening nut.
[0014] The diameter of the head of the anti-loosening screw is greater than the width of the anti-loosening groove.
[0015] The base supports the leg rest support plate, optimizing support strength. Furthermore, this structure prevents the leg rest support plate from flying off the seat in the event of a vehicle collision, thus improving the safety performance of the leg rest.
[0016] Furthermore, the base has a spring plate mounting groove, and a spring plate is installed above the spring plate mounting groove, which contacts the lower surface of the leg support plate.
[0017] The spring absorbs tolerances from both sides, allowing for flexible adjustment of the sliding force of the leg support plate.
[0018] Furthermore, the leg support plate, connecting block, and base are all made of recycled plastic or bio-based materials.
[0019] The leg support plate, connecting block and base are made of low-carbon and environmentally friendly recycled plastic or bio-based materials, which not only reduces the weight of this utility model, but also makes it more low-carbon and environmentally friendly, actively responding to the national energy conservation and carbon reduction action.
[0020] Meanwhile, the rigidity strength of recycled plastics and bio-based materials, as determined by FEA analysis, is no weaker than that of metals. Furthermore, recycled plastics and bio-based materials have lower requirements for manufacturing processes, making them more suitable for mass production.
[0021] Furthermore, the connecting block includes a support plate connecting part, which is fixedly connected to the leg support plate. A lead screw connecting part is installed below the support plate connecting part, which passes through the sliding strip groove and is connected to the lead screw.
[0022] Furthermore, the support plate connecting part and the lead screw connecting part are integrally formed.
[0023] Furthermore, the leg support plate is provided with positioning holes, and the connecting part of the support plate is provided with positioning blocks, which engage with the positioning holes.
[0024] Furthermore, the support plate connecting part is integrally formed with the leg support plate.
[0025] Furthermore, the lead screw connection part clamps the lead screw, and the lead screw connection part and the lead screw are fixedly connected by a pin.
[0026] Furthermore, a motor bracket is installed below the seat, the motor bracket including an integrally formed seat fixing part and a motor mounting part, and the two are perpendicular to each other.
[0027] The basin fixing part is fixedly connected to the basin;
[0028] A reducer is installed at the output end of the drive motor. The housing of the reducer is fixedly connected to the motor mounting part. The bearing of the reducer is fitted onto the lead screw, and the two are threaded together.
[0029] Both the seat fixing part and the motor mounting part are plate-shaped structures, which facilitates processing and assembly.
[0030] Beneficial effects: The drive motor rotates the lead screw, causing the leg support plate to slide back and forth on the seat, thus achieving automatic unfolding and retraction of the leg support. The leg support plate is mounted on the upper front surface of the seat, ensuring that the leg support plate and seat cushion share a single cover. When the leg support is unfolded, there are no gaps at the front of the seat, ensuring comfort and improving the user experience. At the same time, it simplifies installation components and optimizes the assembly method.
[0031] The leg support plate, connecting block, and base are made from low-carbon and environmentally friendly recycled plastics or bio-based materials. This not only reduces the weight of the invention but also makes it more low-carbon and environmentally friendly, actively responding to the national energy conservation and carbon reduction initiatives. Furthermore, the rigidity strength of recycled plastics and bio-based materials, as determined by FEA analysis, is no weaker than that of metals. Moreover, recycled plastics and bio-based materials have lower requirements for manufacturing processes, making them more suitable for mass production.
[0032] In the event of a vehicle collision, the anti-slip grooves prevent the leg support plate from flying off the seat, thus improving the safety performance of the leg support.
[0033] The spring absorbs tolerances from both sides, allowing for flexible adjustment of the sliding force of the leg support plate. Attached Figure Description
