Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts, and specifically relates to an electric handrail and an automobile seat. BACKGROUND

[0002] Traditional automobile seat handrails are mainly of two forms, one of which is erected on the side of the seat backrest and can be manually turned forward, and the other of which is fixed on both sides of the seat. The two forms of traditional seat handrails have single functions and are not convenient to use, and cannot meet the increasingly varied in-vehicle application environment.

[0003] The above two handrail mounting structures will occupy the space on the side of the seat backrest when the handrails are not used. Therefore, hidden seat handrails have appeared on the market, for example, the patent document with the announcement number CN114407744A discloses an electric handrail telescopic rotating mechanism, which mainly comprises a toothed barrel cam, a fixed sleeve, pin A, pin B, a rotating shaft, and a motor. The toothed barrel cam cooperates with the fixed sleeve, the fixed sleeve cooperates with the stepped hollow shaft to limit the other degrees of freedom of the toothed barrel cam, and only the rotational degree of freedom of the toothed barrel cam is retained. The toothed barrel cam is provided with a displacement gear and a track groove C. The rotating shaft is provided with track grooves, which are track groove A, track groove B from right to left. Pin B is fixed on the rotating shaft, and pin B moves relative to the track groove C on the toothed barrel cam. Pin A is fixed on the fixed sleeve, and pin A moves linearly relative to the track groove A and rotates relative to the track groove B.

[0004] Based on the handrail telescopic rotating mechanism described in the above patent document, the handrail can be hidden and folded in the side of the seat backrest, and the space occupied on both sides of the seat when folding is reduced. However, it still has the following disadvantages: the extension movement and the rotation movement of the handrail are performed simultaneously, which is a compound movement. On the one hand, the handrail cannot rotate independently, and cannot meet the requirement of large-angle swinging.
