[0019] The seat supporting device 3 is arranged corresponding to the fixed plate 22 and can be clamped into or out of the fixed plate 22 and the fixed shaft 23 to limit or release the rotation of the seat cushion lower support 21 around the rotating shaft assembly 4. The seat supporting device 3 comprises a fixed seat 31, two guide screws 32, a limiting hanging buckle 33, a movable shaft 34 and a pulling switch 35. The fixed seat 31 is fixedly connected to the seat support 1. An upper screw connecting part 311 is extended upward from one end of the fixed seat 31 away from the seat cushion lower support 21. Two guide screws 32 are symmetrically arranged on the screw connecting part 311. Limiting plates 312 are extended upward from both sides of the fixed seat 31. Limiting grooves 3121 are formed in the limiting plates 312. The limiting hanging buckle 33 is arranged in a cavity surrounded by the screw connecting part 311 and the limiting plates 312 and is connected to the other end of the guide screw 32. A spring 36 is sleeved on the guide screw 32 and is arranged between the limiting hanging buckle 33 and the screw connecting part 311. A movable shaft hole 332 is formed in the middle of the limiting hanging buckle 33. The movable shaft 34 is arranged in the movable shaft hole 332 and the movable shaft 34 is arranged in the limiting grooves 3121 at both ends. The limiting hanging buckle 33 has a supporting part 331 at one end close to the fixed plate 22. The pulling switch 35 is fixedly connected to the limiting hanging buckle 33 and can drive the supporting part 331 of the limiting hanging buckle 33 to be clamped into or out of the fixed plate 22 and the fixed shaft 23.

[0021] The use principle of the seat folding supporting mechanism is as follows:
[0022] When the seat needs to be folded, the pulling switch 35 is pulled away from the seat cushion lower support 21 to drive the limiting hanging buckle 33 to move away from the seat cushion lower support 21 in the fixed seat 31, so that the supporting part 331 of the limiting hanging buckle 33 is out of the fixed plate 22 and the fixed shaft 23. At this time, the seat cushion lower support 21 is in an unsupported state. The seat cushion lower support 21 and the seat on the seat cushion lower support 21 are turned forward and downward around the rotating shaft assembly 4, and the folding is completed. When the seat needs to be restored to the use state, the seat cushion lower support 21 is only needed to be turned reversely to the initial position. The limiting hanging buckle 33 is bounced back under the action of the spring 36. The supporting part 331 of the limiting hanging buckle 33 is clamped into the fixed plate 22 and the fixed shaft 23 again, and the seat cushion lower support 21 is supported, so that the reset and unfolding are completed.
[0023] In the above process, the movable shaft 34 can well limit the displacement distance of the limiting hanging buckle 33, and ensure that the supporting part 331 is accurately disengaged or clamped between the fixed plate 22 and the fixed shaft 23.
