Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile seat backrest lock, specifically is a seat backrest lock. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the design of automobile seat, the seat backrest lock plays a key role, which guarantees that the seat backrest can be stably in the set position when using. When the external automobile lock bolt is placed into the lock port of the traditional seat backrest lock, due to the lack of effective buffer and protection mechanism, the automobile lock bolt is prone to excessive collision with the inner circumferential wall of the lock port and the lock leaf. Such violent collision will cause the lock port, lock leaf and other components to be damaged, such as wear and deformation, which shortens the service life of the seat backrest lock. On the other hand, the large noise generated by the collision will also bring adverse effects to the in-vehicle environment and reduce the riding comfort. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a seat backrest lock to solve the problem that the traditional seat backrest lock is prone to excessive collision with the lock port or the lock leaf when the automobile lock bolt is placed, resulting in component damage or large noise.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a seat backrest lock, which comprises a lock body, a lock leaf movably arranged in the lock body, and a locking plate for linkage cooperation with the lock leaf to limit the movement of the lock leaf. The lock body is provided with a lock port for placing the external automobile lock bolt, the lock leaf is bent towards the lock port and provided with a lock hook for closing the opening of the lock port, the locking plate is provided with a pressure rod for driving the locking plate to move when pressure is applied and releasing the movement restriction of the lock leaf, the lock body is provided with a reset structure for driving the lock leaf and the locking plate to move back to the original position, the outer wall of the lock body is provided with a linkage block near the lock port, the linkage block is provided with a buffer block for reducing the impact force of the automobile lock bolt and the collision strength between the automobile lock bolt and the inner circumferential wall of the lock port and the lock leaf when the external automobile lock bolt is placed into the lock port, and a reinforcing structure for improving the buffering degree of the buffer block to the external automobile lock bolt.

[0005] The above technical scheme has the advantages that: first, the lock leaf is precisely installed in the preset movable track in the lock body, ensuring that it can rotate flexibly, and the lock hook bending angle of the lock leaf meets the design standard to precisely close the lock opening; then, the locking plate is installed in place, ensuring that the linkage between the locking plate and the lock leaf is accurate, the pressure rod can smoothly respond to external force, the reset structure is installed at the corresponding position of the lock body, ensuring that it can provide stable reset elastic force for the lock leaf and the locking plate, finally, the linkage block is stably installed on the outer wall of the lock body near the lock opening, and the buffer block and the reinforcing structure are sequentially assembled on the linkage block, when the external automobile lock bolt is inserted into the lock opening, the buffer block on the linkage block is first contacted, the buffer block absorbs the initial impact force of the automobile lock bolt by means of its elastic deformation, reduces the collision strength, and avoids that the lock bolt directly and heavily impacts the inner peripheral wall of the lock opening and the lock leaf. At the same time, the reinforcing structure enhances the support force and the reaction force of the buffer block from the structure level, so that the buffer block can more stably resist the impact force when being pressed, and the seat backrest lock is protected in all directions, the damage caused by the collision is reduced, and the noise generated by the collision is also reduced; compared with the traditional seat backrest lock, the utility model adds the linkage block with the buffer block and the reinforcing structure near the lock opening, effectively solves the problem that the traditional seat backrest lock is easily collided with the lock opening or the lock leaf when the automobile lock bolt is inserted, causing the components to be damaged or generating a large noise, prolongs the service life of the seat backrest lock, and improves the comfort of the vehicle interior; the reset spring is connected between the inner wall of the lock cavity and the initial end of the pressure rod, the pressing direction in which the pressure rod drives the locking plate to swing is arranged in the same direction as the stretching direction of the reset spring, the limiting protrusion is arranged on the locking plate and faces the lock leaf, the limiting groove is arranged on the lock leaf and locally inserts and inserts the limiting protrusion, the reset torsion spring is connected between the lock leaf and the corresponding rivet of the lock leaf and is used for driving the lock leaf to swing and reset and exposing the lock hook at the opening of the lock opening, the reset torsion spring and the reset spring are the reset structure, the reset structure is the prior art, that is, the traditional backrest lock also has the reset structure, therefore, it will not be described in detail, and the cooperation of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove realizes the locking cooperation of the locking plate and the lock leaf, and the limiting of the locking plate to the lock leaf when the lock hook closes the lock opening avoids the swing or swing of the lock leaf, and the locking structure is also the prior art, therefore, it will not be described in detail.

[0006] The utility model further sets up: the buffer groove is set up in the height direction of the linkage block, the buffer groove opening is close to the lock opening position setting, the buffer block is set up in the buffer groove, the buffer block top wall horizontal plane and lock hook inner wall horizontal plane parallel setting, the interval between the buffer block top wall horizontal plane and lock hook inner wall horizontal plane is less than the interval between lock hook inner wall horizontal plane and lock opening bottom wall horizontal plane, the buffer block is made of rubber material.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the above technical scheme are that: the buffering groove opened in the height direction of the linkage block provides a specific movement space for the buffering block, and the opening of the buffering groove is close to the lock opening position, so that the buffering block can be accurately positioned on the path where the automobile lock bolt is placed. When the lock bolt enters the lock opening, it can first contact the buffering block to ensure that the buffering action is triggered in time, avoiding the lock bolt from impacting the components in the deep part of the lock opening without buffering. When the top wall horizontal surface of the buffering block is parallel to the inner wall horizontal surface of the lock hook, the parallel relationship makes the buffering block and the lock hook cooperate more tacitly in space. When the impact force of the lock bolt is transmitted, the buffering block can receive it at the most suitable angle to evenly disperse the impact force and prevent the buffering effect from being weakened due to angle deviation. Moreover, the distance between the top wall horizontal surface of the buffering block and the inner wall horizontal surface of the lock hook is smaller than the distance between the inner wall horizontal surface of the lock hook and the bottom wall horizontal surface of the lock opening. This design ensures that the lock bolt first contacts the buffering block and buffers by the rubber elasticity of the buffering block, rather than directly impacting the bottom wall of the lock opening or the lock hook, thereby providing comprehensive protection for the key structures of the lock opening and the lock hook.

[0008] The buffering block has a radial cross-section in the shape of a "T" and a reset block extending from the bottom wall towards the bottom wall of the buffering groove, and the reinforcing structure comprises a buffering spring arranged in the buffering groove.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the above technical scheme are that: the buffering block has a radial cross-section in the shape of a "T", which makes the movement of the buffering block in the buffering groove more stable and less likely to deviate or shake, ensuring that it can accurately receive the impact force of the automobile lock bolt each time. The reset block extending from the bottom wall is connected to the buffering spring, and when the impact force of the lock bolt presses the buffering block and the buffering spring is compressed, the buffering spring can quickly push the reset block and drive the buffering block to return to the initial position, preparing for the next buffering and maintaining the continuous and stable working state of the seat back lock. The buffering spring in the reinforcing structure is located in the buffering groove and connected to the bottom wall of the buffering groove at one end and to the bottom wall of the reset block at the other end. When the automobile lock bolt impacts the buffering block, the buffering spring works together with the rubber buffering block. The rubber buffering block preliminarily absorbs and disperses the impact force, and the buffering spring further compresses and stores energy, complementing each other and greatly enhancing the overall buffering force, which effectively reduces the impact force of the lock bolt and significantly reduces the collision strength between the lock bolt and the lock opening and the lock leaf. Since the buffering block and the bottom wall of the buffering groove are in clearance fit, a reasonable space is reserved for the movement of the buffering block, and excessive shaking and friction of the buffering block are avoided to prevent unnecessary wear. At the same time, the buffering spring shares part of the impact force, reducing the load on the buffering block alone, slowing down the wear of the buffering block, the buffering groove and related components, prolonging the service life of the entire seat back lock buffering structure and reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

[0010] This utility model further includes: detachable vertical plates on both sides of the linkage block; each of the two vertical plates is bent towards the opening of the buffer groove with a baffle; the bottom wall of the baffle is in contact with the top wall of the buffer block; the two baffles are fitted together to form an insertion gap for an external car lock bolt to contact the top wall of the buffer block; the reinforcing structure also includes two guide springs, each corresponding to one of the two baffles; guide holes are provided on the buffer block corresponding to the positions of the two guide springs; the end of the guide spring is connected to the bottom wall of the adjacent and corresponding guide hole; the beginning of the guide spring is connected to the bottom wall of the baffle; the guide spring and the buffer spring are offset; and the guide spring and the guide hole are adapted to each other.

[0011] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are: the detachable vertical plates on both sides of the linkage block and the bent baffles on the vertical plates together form a precise guiding structure. The insertion gap formed by the gap between the two baffles limits the path of the car bolt contacting the buffer block, ensuring that the bolt can accurately act on the top wall of the buffer block, avoiding weakening the buffering effect due to bolt position deviation, and making the buffering process more stable and reliable; in addition to the original buffer spring, the newly added guide spring further enriches the buffering system. When the car bolt is inserted, the guide spring and the buffer spring work together to disperse and absorb the impact force from different directions and dimensions. The buffer spring is responsible for the main buffering in the vertical direction, while the guide spring buffers and corrects the bolt's lateral offset or irregular impact force, reducing the energy generated by the collision in all directions and protecting key components such as the lock and the lock leaf to the greatest extent. One end of the guide spring is connected to the bottom wall of the baffle, and the other end is connected to the bottom wall of the guide hole of the buffer block. This connection method provides additional support for the buffer block, making it more evenly stressed when bearing impact force and reducing the risk of damage caused by local stress concentration. Meanwhile, the guide spring distributes some of the impact force, reducing the burden on the buffer block, which helps extend the service life of the buffer block, reduces the frequency of component replacement, and saves maintenance costs. The upright plate and the linkage block adopt a detachable connection method, which greatly improves the convenience of assembly and subsequent maintenance. Once a component (such as the baffle or guide spring) malfunctions or needs to be replaced or upgraded, the staff can easily disassemble the upright plate and quickly repair or replace the corresponding component without having to disassemble the entire seat back lock in a large-scale manner, shortening the repair time and improving the overall work efficiency.

[0012] The present invention further includes: a limiting hole through the reset block; a limiting shaft coaxially arranged on the bottom wall of the buffer groove corresponding to the position of the limiting hole for insertion into the limiting hole; the limiting shaft is made of wear-resistant rubber material and is adapted to the limiting hole; and a buffer spring is sleeved on the limiting shaft and is coaxially arranged with the limiting shaft.

[0013] The above technical scheme has the advantages that the limiting shaft is arranged to guide and limit the stretching direction of the buffer spring, so that the deformation and skew of the buffer spring can be avoided to prevent the buffer function from being invalid.

[0014] The utility model further sets up: the inside wall of lock hook is covered with sound-absorbing pad, sound-absorbing pad is made of rubber material.

[0015] The above technical scheme has the advantages that the sound-absorbing pad made of rubber material has excellent sound-absorbing and shock-absorbing characteristics, and it can convert mechanical energy generated by collision into heat energy or other forms of energy through elastic deformation in the moment of collision, thereby greatly reducing the impact sound, creating a more quiet and comfortable in-car environment, reducing the irritation of in-car personnel caused by noise, and providing a layer of protection for the lock hook while playing a sound-absorbing role. The automobile lock bolt frequently enters and exits the lock hook, which can easily scratch and wear the inner wall of the lock hook, and may affect the closing accuracy and service life of the lock hook over time. The rubber sound-absorbing pad is relatively soft and acts as a buffer layer, reducing the intensity of direct friction and collision between the lock bolt and the lock hook, effectively avoiding scratches, dents and other damage to the inner wall of the lock hook, maintaining the good mechanical properties of the lock hook, and prolonging the service life of the lock hook and even the entire seat back lock.
