AI Technical Summary
In traditional leg support extension mechanisms, the end of the lead screw is prone to interference with the seat cushion foam, resulting in changes in the shape of the seat cushion and a foreign body sensation. In addition, the nut is difficult to return to its original position, causing abnormal noise.
A leg support extension protection mechanism was designed, which uses a shielding plate to cover the end of the lead screw, and uses a support column and guide groove structure to ensure the smooth movement of the extension plate. Combined with a reinforcing plate to enhance the strength of the support, it prevents the cushion foam from tangling and making abnormal noises.
This effectively avoids interference between the seat cushion foam and the lead screw, ensuring the nut returns to its original position smoothly, improving riding comfort and quietness, and maintaining the seat's aesthetics and structural stability.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile seat, especially relates to a leg support extension protection mechanism. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of design and manufacture of automobile seats, as an important component to improve the comfort of passengers, the performance and structure optimization of leg support has always been the focus of the industry. The main function of the leg support is to provide support for the legs of passengers. By adjusting the extension length of the leg support, it can adapt to the leg length requirements of different passengers, thereby effectively relieving leg fatigue during long-distance travel and improving the overall riding experience.
[0003] At present, the traditional leg support extension mechanism usually adopts a driving system composed of a motor, a lead screw and a nut to realize the extension and contraction function of the leg support. Specifically, the motor is installed on the seat basin support and connected with the lead screw transmission, and the nut is installed on the extension plate which can move forward and backward. The lead screw and the nut cooperate with each other. When the motor operates, the extension plate moves forward and backward by the rotation of the lead screw, thereby realizing the extension and contraction of the leg support. However, this traditional leg support extension mechanism has many problems in actual use. When the extension plate moves forward, the end of the lead screw will be exposed on the surface of the extension plate. Because the passenger will exert downward pressure on the seat cushion when sitting, the seat cushion foam is easy to interfere with the exposed lead screw. The B surface of the seat cushion foam (i.e. the surface in contact with the lead screw) is easy to adhere or entangle on the lead screw, which not only affects the normal reset of the seat cushion foam, causes the shape of the seat cushion to change, affects the appearance and comfort of the seat, but also the passenger will feel obvious foreign body sensation during the ride, which greatly reduces the riding experience. In addition, the return problem of the nut also brings trouble to the traditional leg support extension mechanism. When the extension plate moves back to reset, the seat cushion foam adhered or entangled on the lead screw will hinder the nut, making it difficult for the nut to reset smoothly. In this case, the nut will squeeze the seat cushion foam, thereby producing abnormal noise, UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
