Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts, in particular to a two-gear backrest lock. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the automobile seat system, the backrest lock is an important part to ensure the comfort and safety of passengers. On the one hand, the hook of the traditional two-gear backrest lock is prone to shaking or loosening during the driving process, especially on bumpy roads, due to the vibration and impact of the road surface. The shaking of the hook not only produces an uncomfortable noise, affecting the passenger's riding experience, but also may cause the backrest angle to change unexpectedly, failing to provide stable support for passengers and reducing the safety of riding. On the other hand, with the increase of use time, the hook will inevitably wear out. The wear between the hook and other cooperating components will gradually increase the fitting clearance, causing the hook to loosen after long-term use. This not only affects the normal use of the backrest lock, but also may cause the backrest lock to fail, seriously threatening the safety of passengers. In addition, the damping design of the traditional backrest lock is usually fixed, which cannot be adjusted according to the actual use, and it is difficult to meet the diversified needs of different users for the backrest adjustment feel and stability. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a two-gear backrest lock to solve the problem of the hook of the traditional two-gear backrest lock shaking or loosening during the driving of the car and loosening due to wear after long-term use.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a two-gear backrest lock, which comprises a lock shell, the lock shell is provided with a lock slot for placing the external car lock bolt, the lock shell is movably provided with a lock hook and a locking piece, the lock hook is provided with a first slot for cooperating with the lock slot to form a first gear slot and a second slot for cooperating with the lock slot to form a second gear slot, the locking piece is provided at the end with a pull head for cooperating with the external car pull rod to release the locking of the lock hook when the pull rod drives the locking piece to swing, the lock shell is provided with a main shaft, the lock hook is movably arranged on the main shaft, the main shaft is provided with a damping structure for applying a damping force to the lock hook and an adjusting structure for cooperating with the damping structure to adjust the size of the damping force applied by the damping structure to the lock hook.
