Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seat technology, and specifically to a multi-link adjustment mechanism for seats. Background Technology
[0002] Seat adjustment is a crucial aspect of passenger comfort. High comfort levels ensure that passengers do not experience fatigue during long journeys, and a comfortable resting posture can alleviate fatigue and allow for sufficient rest. The multi-link adjustment mechanism of the seat, through one-button operation, can quickly and efficiently adjust passengers to a comfortable resting posture. This invention aims to solve the above series of practical problems.
[0003] In the existing technology, there are two adjustment methods. One method is to use three adjustment mechanisms to adjust the backrest angle, seat cushion angle, and footrest position and angle respectively. To achieve human posture adjustment, the above three mechanisms need to be adjusted separately. In this case, a controller is also needed to realize the linkage adjustment of the three mechanisms. The disadvantages of this seat adjustment method are that the system is complex, heavy, costly, and occupies a lot of space.
[0004] Another type is the seat with linked adjustment of the seat cushion and backrest disclosed in patent number CN102871387A, which can adjust the seat cushion and backrest at the same time. Or it is the multi-position adjustable seat disclosed in patent number CN108523495B, which can adjust the backrest and footrest at the same time.
[0005] Neither of the above two adjustment methods can simultaneously adjust the backrest, seat cushion, and footrest, resulting in poor comfort and failing to meet the requirements for a comfortable resting posture. Utility Model Content
[0006] This invention provides a multi-link adjustment mechanism for seats to address the problems of existing technologies.
[0007] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a multi-link adjustment mechanism for a seat, including: a base, a seat frame and a backrest assembly, wherein the backrest assembly includes a backrest link and a backrest mounting link, and also includes a footrest assembly and a connecting assembly that are hinged to each other;
[0008] The footrest assembly includes a footrest link, a rear link, an upper link, a middle link, a lower link, and a footrest;
[0009] The connecting assembly includes a lower connecting rod and an upper connecting rod;
[0010] The base, seat frame, backrest assembly, and footrest assembly are hinged together by connecting components.
[0011] In a further improvement, the two ends of the footrest connecting rod are respectively hinged to the backrest mounting rod and the rear rod; the upper end of the rear rod is hinged to the seat frame and the lower end is hinged to the upper connecting rod; the upper end of the middle rod is hinged to the bottom frame and the middle and lower ends of the middle and lower connecting rods are respectively hinged to the middle and lower connecting rods; the upper end of the footrest is hinged to the upper connecting rod and the lower end is hinged to the lower connecting rod; the two ends of the lower connecting rod are respectively hinged to the footrest and the lower end of the middle rod; the upper end of the upper connecting rod is hinged to the footrest and the middle and lower ends of the middle and rear rods are respectively hinged to the middle rod and the rear rod.
[0012] In a further improvement, the base includes vertical beams and horizontal beams that are fixed to each other. A first rotating seat is fixedly provided on both sides of the vertical beam. A second rotating seat and a third rotating seat are fixedly provided on the upper and lower sides of the end of the seat frame, respectively, and a fourth rotating seat is fixedly provided at the front end. The first rotating seat and the third rotating seat are hinged together. The second rotating seat is hinged together with the backrest mounting rod, and the fourth rotating seat is hinged together with the rear rod.
[0013] In a further improvement, the upper and lower ends of the seat frame are respectively hinged to the backrest mounting rod and the base, and the front upper connecting rod is hinged to the front end.
[0014] In a further improvement, a rotating rod is provided between the backrest mounting rods, and the end of the backrest connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the rotating rod and its front end is hinged to the connecting assembly.
[0015] In a further improvement, a drive motor is provided on the side of the crossbeam away from the vertical beam, and the output end of the drive motor is connected to the lower end of the lower connecting rod.
[0016] As a further improvement, the footrest is provided with a mounting groove.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: In actual use, when the seat frame is unfolded, the lower front connecting rod rotates counterclockwise and moves upward, driving the upper front connecting rod to move through the hinge. The upper front connecting rod, through its hinge with the seat frame, causes the seat frame to lift upward. Since one end of the backrest connecting rod is hinged to both the lower and upper front connecting rods, when the lower front connecting rod rotates counterclockwise, it will drive the backrest connecting rod to move forward together. The backrest connecting rod, through its hinge, will then drive the backrest rod to rotate clockwise around the seat frame, causing the backrest rod to tilt. The clockwise rotation of the backrest rod, through the hinge, pushes the footrest connecting rod forward. The footrest linkage drives the rear rod to move clockwise around the seat frame via a hinge. The clockwise movement of the rear rod pushes the upper linkage forward via the hinge, thereby driving the middle rod to rotate clockwise. The clockwise movement of the middle rod also pushes the upper and lower linkages forward via the hinge, thereby driving the footrest to rotate clockwise to support the user's legs, as shown in the figure. When the seat frame is folded up, the lower front connecting rod rotates clockwise and moves downward. The above movements are reversed and cycled. The structure is simple, occupies little space, and allows for simultaneous adjustment of the angle and position of the backrest, seat cushion, and footrest, thereby achieving seat posture adjustment to allow the human body to reach a comfortable resting posture.
