The positive significance of configuring a leg rest is at least the following aspects: relieving waist fatigue and tiredness; improving driving safety; improving riding comfort; embodying good individualized support; improving waist support to help reduce lumbar pressure and play a health protection role; improving the interior decoration effect of the vehicle, and the like.

[0003] In the disclosed Chinese and foreign patent documents, there are technical information related to leg rests, such as CN212386376U recommending "a leg rest adjusting structure of an automobile seat", CN210011655U providing "an improved structure of an automobile leg rest", TW201538363A introducing "a quick type foot lifting device for a vehicle", CN117382514B announcing "a leg rest device of an automobile seat", and German patent DE202019103838U1 disclosing "an electric sofa frame", and the like.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 The aforementioned drive mechanism 5 includes a motor 51, a worm gear box 52, a worm gear box holder 53, and a worm gear box holder fixing frame 54. The motor 51 is cantilevered and mounted on the right side of the worm gear box 52. The worm (not shown in the figure) on the motor shaft of the motor 51 meshes with the worm wheel (not shown in the figure) located in the worm gear box 52. The worm gear box 52 is disposed in the worm gear box holder receiving cavity 531 of the worm gear box holder 53. The worm gear box holder 53 and the worm wheel... The rod holder mounting bracket 54 is fixed, and the worm gear holder mounting bracket 54 is fixed to the rear side of the middle of the length direction of the connecting support beam 13 of the aforementioned fixed plate. The rear end of the aforementioned drive beam actuating screw 6 is engaged with the worm wheel center hole formed on the worm wheel, and the front end of the drive beam actuating screw 6 is provided with a screw fixing lug 61. The screw fixing lug 61 is fixed to the screw fixing lug seat 612 by a screw fixing lug screw 611. The screw fixing lug seat 612 is fixed to the middle of the length direction of the aforementioned drive beam 2. Since the structure and working mechanism of the aforementioned drive mechanism 5 are existing technologies, for example, see CN111660901A (a leg support drive device for an automobile seat), the applicant has only provided a brief description.

[0034] In this embodiment, the aforementioned motor is a DC motor with forward and reverse rotation functions, and the motor is electrically connected to the vehicle power supply.

[0035] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 And combined Figure 1 and Figure 2The user operates the control switch located on the side of the seat, for example, when the structure of this utility model is to be in a certain position... Figure 1 and Figure 2 When in the unfolded state, the aforementioned operation switch is activated, causing the motor 51 of the drive mechanism 5 to operate. The worm gear thread on the motor shaft drives the worm gear in the worm gear box 52 to move. The movement of the worm gear drives the drive beam actuating screw 6, which has a worm gear shaft effect, to rotate clockwise. Since the front end of the drive beam actuating screw 6 is fixed to the screw fixing lug 61 by means of the screw fixing lug screw 611 and the screw fixing lug seat 612, and since the screw fixing lug seat 612 is welded to the middle of the aforementioned drive beam 2 in the length direction, the drive beam actuating screw 6 drives the drive beam 2 to rotate. The drive beam 2 drives the drive connecting rod 31. Under the action of the drive connecting rod 31, the upper end of the rear hinge connecting rod 32 of the base leg bracket tilts forward, while the lower end of the rear hinge connecting rod 32 of the base leg bracket drives the follower connecting rod 34 and causes the follower connecting rod 34 to move backward. During the forward tilting or displacement of the aforementioned rear hinged link 32 of the foundation leg bracket, since the upper end of the rear hinged link 32 is hinged to the rear end of the foundation leg bracket support arm 35 via the upper hinge shaft 321, it causes the foundation leg bracket support arm 35 to move forward. During this forward displacement, since the aforementioned middle hinged link 33 is hinged to the foundation leg bracket support arm 35 via the upper hinge shaft 331, the foundation leg bracket support arm 35 causes the upper end of the middle hinged link 33 to also tilt forward, thus causing the foundation leg bracket support arm 35, along with the aforementioned foundation leg bracket 4, to unfold. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the front side of the right fixing plate 12 of the car seat frame, the rear end of the drive link 31, the follower link 34, and the lower end of the rear hinge link 32 of the base leg bracket together form a parallelogram relationship. Furthermore, the front end of the drive link 31, the upper end of the rear hinge link 32 of the base leg bracket, the rear end of the support arm 35 of the base leg bracket, and the middle hinge link 33 of the base leg bracket together form another parallelogram relationship, thus enabling them to move together.

[0036] As a key technical feature of this invention, the additional pair of re-extension mechanisms 7 are arranged in a left-right correspondence, with their rear ends hinged to the front ends of the base leg bracket support arms 35 of the structural system of the pair of base deployment mechanisms 3, and to the upper ends of the aforementioned rear end hinged connecting rods 32 of the base leg bracket. Specifically, the rear end of the additional support frame main connecting rod 71 of the structural system of the pair of re-extension mechanisms 7 is hinged to the upper end of the rear end hinged connecting rod 32 of the base leg bracket via the rear end hinge shaft 711 of the additional support frame main connecting rod, while the front end is hinged to the rear end of the additional support frame transition connecting rod 72 via the front end hinge shaft 712 of the additional support frame main connecting rod, and the middle part of the additional support frame transition connecting rod 72 is hinged to the earlobe-shaped extension 351 of the base leg bracket support arm 35. The front end of the leg frame transition link 72 is hinged to the rear end of the additional leg frame fixed arm traction link 73 via the front hinge shaft 722 of the additional leg frame transition link. The front end of the additional leg frame fixed arm traction link 73 is hinged to the lower middle part of the additional leg frame fixed arm 74 via the front hinge shaft 731 of the traction link. The rear end of the additional leg frame fixed arm 74 is hinged to the front end of the base leg bracket support arm 35 via the rear hinge shaft 742 of the additional leg frame fixed arm. Therefore, during the deployment of the aforementioned basic deployment mechanism 3, the rear hinged connecting rod 32 of the basic leg bracket drives the main connecting rod 71 of the additional leg bracket, and the support arm 35 of the basic leg bracket simultaneously drives the transition connecting rod 72 and the fixing arm 74 of the additional leg bracket. During the aforementioned process, the traction connecting rod 73 of the fixing arm of the additional leg bracket is also linked, causing the pair of re-extension mechanisms 7 together with the additional leg bracket 8 fixed between the cantilever ends 741 of the pair of fixing arms to deploy, forming... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The current state.

[0037] Therefore, compared with existing technologies, this utility model ingeniously adds a connecting rod that is easy to fold / unfold and has a small size. With just one action (the action of the drive mechanism 5), the unfolding of a pair of basic unfolding mechanisms 3 and a pair of re-extension mechanisms 7 can be completed, without the need for two sets of drive mechanisms 5. In particular, the fact that only one drive mechanism 5 with one motor 51 is required fully demonstrates the technical effects described by the applicant in the above technical effect column, and also demonstrates good energy-saving effect.

[0038] When this utility model is to be in a non-expanded or unused state, the passenger reverses the operation switch, causing the motor shaft of the motor 51 in the drive mechanism 5 to rotate in the opposite direction, completing the folding process and presenting a shape... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The state shown.

[0039] In summary, the technical solution provided by this utility model makes up for the shortcomings of the prior art, successfully completes the invention task, and faithfully realizes the technical effects described by the applicant in the above technical effect column.
