[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a car seat foot pedal transmission structure includes a backrest frame 1 and a foot pedal frame 2. The foot pedal frame 2 has a rotating shaft 21 at its inner end, and both ends of the rotating shaft 21 are rotatably mounted on the lower rear side of the backrest frame 1. (Combined with...) Figure 4 As shown, a second gear 3 is fixedly mounted at one end of the rotating shaft 21, and a first gear 4 is rotatably mounted on the backrest frame 1, which meshes with the second gear 3. A drive mechanism 5 is also provided on the backrest frame 1, which can drive the first gear 4 to rotate. When the drive mechanism 5 operates, under the transmission action of the first gear 4 and the second gear 3, it can drive the rotating shaft 21 to rotate, thereby realizing the flipping movement of the footrest frame 2 on the lower rear side of the backrest frame 1.

[0032] Based on the above structural design, through the meshing transmission of the first gear 4 and the second gear 3, the drive mechanism 5 can accurately and efficiently transmit power to the rotating shaft 21, ensuring the smooth rotation of the rotating shaft 21 and enabling the footrest frame 2 to remain stable during folding and unfolding. On the other hand, by rotatably mounting the rotating shaft 21 on the lower rear side of the backrest frame 1 and setting the drive mechanism 5 on the backrest frame 1, the space of the backrest frame 1 is rationally utilized. Without occupying interior space, it can take into account both the appearance of the seat and the transmission function of the footrest, and has the advantages of compact structure and good overall appearance.

[0033] Furthermore, by Figure 1 As can be seen, the foot pedal frame 2 also includes a connecting rod 22, one end of which is fixedly welded to the rotating shaft 21, and the other end extends radially outward along the rotating shaft 21. (Reference) Figure 7 When not in use, the footrest frame 2 is folded behind the backrest frame 1. For use, refer to... Figure 8 The foot pedal frame 2 unfolds downwards by driving the rotating shaft 21 to rotate. In this embodiment, there are at least two sets of connecting rods 22. The connecting rods 22 provide a stable foundation for the installation of the foot pedal, enhance the stability of the connection between the foot pedal and the rotating shaft 21, and provide the user with more stable foot pedal support.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 3The driving mechanism 5 comprises a power source 51 and a rocker arm 52, one end of the rocker arm 52 is fixedly connected to the first gear 4, and the power source 51 can drive the rocker arm 52 to swing around the rotation center of the first gear 4 to drive the first gear 4 to rotate. The power source 51 can accurately and stably output power, regardless of being an electric motor or a hydraulic device. The rocker arm 52 is connected to the first gear 4, which has the advantages of simple connection and high efficiency. The power source 51 drives the rocker arm 52 to swing, which can drive the first gear 4 to rotate, and further drive the pedal frame 2 to rotate.

[0035] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the power source 51 is a push rod motor, one end of which is rotatably connected to the backrest frame 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the rocker arm 52 away from the first gear 4. The push rod motor can drive the rocker arm 52 to swing around the rotation center of the first gear 4.

[0036] Further, the push rod motor has a push rod 511 that can be raised and lowered, and one end of the rocker arm 52 away from the first gear 4 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the push rod 511. The upward and downward movement of the push rod 511 can drive the first gear 4 to rotate under the linkage action of the rocker arm 52. In this structure, the push rod motor has the technical advantages of simple and accurate control and stable operation. At the same time, the push rod motor is arranged on the inner side of the backrest frame 1 along the height direction of the backrest, and the structure of the push rod motor and the rocker arm 52 is relatively compact, which does not occupy too much space on the inner side of the backrest frame 1, which not only ensures the effective operation of the driving mechanism 5, but also does not affect the layout of other components in the backrest.

[0037] From Figure 3 It can be seen that the second gear 3 is a cylindrical gear, the first gear 4 is provided with an arc-shaped tooth portion 41 on one side in the radial direction, and one end of the rocker arm 52 is fixedly welded on the side of the first gear 4 away from the arc-shaped tooth portion 41. The first gear 4 is designed with the arc-shaped tooth portion 41, which effectively reduces the overall size and weight of the gear while meeting the transmission requirements, and reduces the occupied space in the connection with the rocker arm 52, making the overall mechanism more compact.

[0038] Further, as Figure 5 shown, in this embodiment, the lower end of the push rod 511 is rotatably mounted with a connecting branch 512, which is perpendicular to the push rod 511 and extends outward in the radial direction of the push rod 511, and the extension end of the connecting branch 512 is fixedly connected to one end of the rocker arm 52 away from the first gear 4. When the push rod 511 of the push rod motor moves up and down, it can accurately transmit power to the rocker arm 52 through the connecting branch 512.

[0039] Combined Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in order to ensure the stability of the rotating installation of the pedal frame 2, the lower inner sides of both ends of the backrest frame 1 are fixedly provided with mounting brackets 11, at least part of the mounting brackets 11 protrude from the rear side of the backrest frame 1, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 21 are rotatably supported on the part of the two mounting brackets 11 protruding from the rear side of the backrest frame 1. Specifically, the front end of the mounting bracket 11 is fixed on the front side of the backrest frame 1 by bolts, the rear part of the mounting bracket 11 is fixed on the bottom of the backrest frame 1 by bolts, the mounting bracket 11 has an extension part 111 protruding from the rear side of the backrest frame 1, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 21 are rotatably connected to the extension parts 111 of the two mounting brackets 11. In this way, a stable triangular frame is formed between the mounting bracket 11 and the backrest frame 1, which enhances the overall strength and stability of the backrest frame 1, and also improves the stability of the mounting bracket 11 installation, so that the mounting bracket 11 can provide stable support for the rotating shaft 21 to ensure that the rotating shaft 21 can rotate smoothly.

[0040] By Figure 1 It can be seen that the connecting rod 22 is arranged between the two mounting brackets 11, and the first gear 4 and the second gear 3 are rotatably arranged on the outer side of one of the mounting brackets 11, so as to separate the mounting bracket 11 and the second gear 3, and ensure the appearance and overall structure of the seat. Referring to Figure 6 , the second gear 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 21 by a fastener a. The extension part 111 is provided with a connecting through hole 112, one end of the fastener a is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 21 by bolts, and the other end of the fastener a penetrates through the connecting through hole 112 and is fixedly connected to the second gear 3. The fastener a is rotatably supported on the connecting through hole 112 by a bushing a1. In this way, the stability of the fixed connection between the second gear 3 and the rotating shaft 21 can be improved.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 4 and 5 , a retaining frame 6 is arranged between the side of the first gear 4 and the second gear 3 away from the mounting bracket 11, which can ensure that the first gear 4 and the second gear 3 are always in meshing state.

[0042] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the first gear 4 is rotatably supported between the mounting bracket 11 and the retaining frame 6 by a first pin shaft b. The second gear 3 is rotatably connected to the retaining frame 6 by a second pin shaft c.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and those skilled in the art can make various similar expressions under the inspiration of the present application without violating the purpose and claims of the present application. Such changes fall within the scope of the present application.
