[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a testing fixture suitable for automotive seat pivots, including a base 1, with adjustment grooves 2 at both ends of the top of the base 1. Adjustment blocks 3 are slidably connected inside each adjustment groove 2, and the adjustment blocks 3 can move up and down inside the adjustment groove 2 to adjust their position. A rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected inside each adjustment block 3 via damping; the position of the rotating shaft 4 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the adjustment blocks 3 inside the adjustment groove 2.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one aspect of this embodiment, two fixing components are provided on the top of the base 1 for fixing the car seat. The fixing components include a first electric telescopic rod 5 and a fixing plate 6. The first electric telescopic rod 5 is installed on both sides of the base 1, and the piston rods of the first electric telescopic rod 5 extend into the interior of the base 1. The fixing plate 6 is fixed to the piston rods of the first electric telescopic rod 5. The operation of the first electric telescopic rod 5 drives the fixing plate 6 to move within the base 1, thereby clamping and fixing the car seat placed inside the base 1. The bottom of the fixing plate 6 is slidably connected to the base 1, allowing the fixing plate 6 to move stably within the base 1.
[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one aspect of this embodiment, a shaft center adjustment assembly is provided at both ends of the top of the base 1. The shaft center adjustment assembly is used to adjust the position of the rotating shaft 4. The shaft center adjustment assembly includes a second electric telescopic rod 7 and a U-shaped rod 8. The second electric telescopic rod 7 is installed at both ends of the top of the base 1. The piston rod of the second electric telescopic rod 7 extends into the interior of the corresponding adjustment groove 2 and is fixedly connected to the top of the adjustment block 3. By operating the second electric telescopic rod 7, the adjustment block 3 can be driven to move up and down inside the adjustment groove 2, thereby adjusting the position of the adjustment block 3. The U-shaped rod 8 is fixedly installed between the two rotating shafts 4. By using the action of the U-shaped rod 8, the two adjustment blocks 3 can rotate and move up and down simultaneously.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In one aspect of this embodiment, each of the rotating shafts 4 is equipped with an angle alignment component, which is used to align the angle of the rotating shaft 4 with the angle of the car seat rotating shaft. The angle alignment component includes an alignment plate 9, a scale ring 10, a pointer 11, a third electric telescopic rod 12, and a positioning block 13. The alignment plate 9 is installed on the adjacent ends of the two rotating shafts 4. The third electric telescopic rod 12 is installed on the outside of the alignment plate 9, and the piston rod of the third electric telescopic rod 12 passes through the alignment plate 9. The positioning block 13 is installed on the piston rod of the third electric telescopic rod 12. By operating the third electric telescopic rod 12, the positioning block 13 can be moved, thereby clamping and fixing the car seat backrest with the positioning block 13, so that the angle of the alignment plate 9 can be kept consistent with that of the car seat backrest. Both the fixing plate 6 and the positioning block 13 are made of rubber, which can better protect the car seat from damage. A scale ring 10 is installed on the outside of one of the adjusting blocks 3, and a pointer 11 is installed on the outside of one of the rotating shafts 4 and inside the scale ring 10. The cooperation between the pointer 11 and the scale ring 10 allows for better indication of the angular position of the rotating shaft 4 relative to the alignment plate 9. A handle 14 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 4 where the pointer 11 is not installed, allowing the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The first electric telescopic rod 5, the second electric telescopic rod 7, and the third electric telescopic rod 12 are all electrically connected to external control equipment, enabling better control of the overall operation of the equipment.
[0033] Working principle:
[0034] When in use, first place the car seat that needs to be tested for angle inside the base 1, and at the same time make the car seat pivot and the rotation axis 4 located at the connection between the car seat cushion and the backrest in the same vertical position, that is, the two axes can be coincided by moving up and down.
[0035] Then, by controlling the second electric telescopic rod 7 to work, the adjusting block 3 moves up and down inside the adjusting groove 2, thereby adjusting the position of the adjusting block 3 and the rotating shaft 4 so that the axis of the rotating shaft 4 coincides with the axis of the car seat rotating shaft.
[0036] Next, the throttle 14 drives one of the rotating shafts 4 to rotate, thereby using the U-shaped rod 8 to simultaneously drive the other rotating shaft 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the two alignment plates 9 to rotate. The two alignment plates 9 are then rotated to the sides of the car seat back. At this time, the third electric telescopic rod 12 is controlled to work, driving the positioning block 13 to move, thereby using the positioning block 13 to clamp and fix the car seat back, so that the alignment plate 9 can keep the angle consistent with the car seat back.
[0037] Finally, by adjusting the angle of the car seat back, the alignment plate 9 can be rotated, which in turn drives the two rotating shafts 4 to rotate. At the same time, through the cooperation between the pointer 11 and the scale ring 10, the angle position of the rotating shaft 4 and the alignment plate 9 can be better indicated, that is, the angle position of the car seat back. This makes it convenient to test the adjustable angle of the car seat back and observe whether there is a case where the maximum adjustable angle is not up to standard.
[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
