Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive seat technology, and in particular to a four-link structure for lifting automotive seat cushions. Background Technology

[0002] With users demanding higher levels of comfort and functionality from car seats, many automakers are focusing on in-car entertainment spaces, designing car seats to be able to fold down at a large angle. For the front passenger seat, many models feature backrests that can fold forward and flatten, using a seat cushion lifting mechanism to lower the cushion, creating a double bed-like configuration with the second-row seats, providing a more comfortable leisure and entertainment space.

[0003] In existing car seats, the seat cushion lifting mechanism mainly includes the following types: the slide type, which uses dual motors on the left and right sides of the seat frame to ensure the synchronization of the left and right sides, but it is costly, complex in structure, and the motor occupies the space at the bottom of the seat cushion, which can easily affect the installation of other components. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a four-link structure for lifting car seat cushions, which aims to solve the problem of high production costs of existing car seat lifting structures.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a four-link structure for lifting a car seat cushion, including a base, two front links, a seat cushion, a transmission rod, a rear link, and a rotating assembly. The two front links are rotatably connected to the base and are both located on the base. The seat cushion is rotatably connected to the two front links and is located on the two front links. The transmission rod is rotatably connected to the seat cushion and is located on the seat cushion. The rear link is rotatably connected to the base and also rotatably connected to the transmission rod, and is located between the base and the transmission rod. The rotating assembly is connected to the transmission rod and installed on the seat cushion.

[0006] The rotating assembly includes a handle, a rotating shaft, a gear, and a toothed plate. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the seat cushion and is located on the seat cushion. The handle is installed on one side of the rotating shaft. The gear is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and is located on one side of the rotating shaft. The toothed plate meshes with the gear and is fixedly connected to the transmission rod.

[0007] The handle includes a turntable, a connecting rod, and a rotating handle. The turntable is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and located on one side of the rotating shaft. The connecting rod is fixedly connected to the turntable and located on one side of the turntable. The rotating handle is fixedly connected to the connecting rod and located on the side of the connecting rod away from the turntable.

[0008] The four-link structure for lifting the car seat cushion also includes two mounting components, both of which are installed at the front end of the seat cushion.

[0009] The mounting assembly includes a connecting frame and a mounting plate. The connecting frame is fixedly connected to the seat cushion and is located at the front end of the seat cushion.
