[0024] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be thorough and complete.
[0025] This utility model provides an electric seat that can solve the problems of poor comfort and inability to meet various needs in related technologies.
[0026] The overall functions of the electric seat include: the electric seat can be placed against a wall, and the seat back, leg rest, and four-way lumbar support can be electrically adjusted.
[0027] 1. Seat and backrest linkage principle
[0028] The main structure includes a rotary motor 1, which is installed below the seat plate 16. The output end of the rotary motor 1 is equipped with a seat plate output gear 3 and a gearbox input gear 6; a rack 4, which is installed at the bottom of the seat plate 16 and meshes with the seat plate output gear 3; and an angle adjuster 8, which is installed on the backrest 17 and is connected to the gearbox input gear 6.
[0029] The power output of the rotating motor output shaft 2 simultaneously drives the backrest angle adjuster 8 and the seat plate output gear 3 to achieve linkage adjustment of the seat plate and backrest.
[0030] The seat plate 16 is mounted on the main frame 19. A side plate 20 is provided below the main frame 19. A sliding groove 18 is provided on the side plate 20. The sliding groove 18 extends along the moving direction of the seat plate 16. The main frame 19 is connected to the sliding groove 18 through a connecting block 21. The rack 4 is arc-shaped and gradually tilts downward along the moving direction of the seat plate 16.
[0031] The rotary motor 1 provides rotational power, and the rotation of the output shaft 2 of the rotary motor drives the output gear 3 of the seat plate to rotate. Through meshing with the rack 4, the rotational motion is converted into translational motion. Under the limit of the slide groove 18, the motion moves along a specified trajectory, realizing the forward or backward translation and angle adjustment of the seat plate 16.
[0032] A linkage reduction gearbox 5 is installed below the seat plate 16. A reduction gearbox output shaft 7 is installed at the output end of the linkage reduction gearbox 5. The angle adjuster 8 is installed on the reduction gearbox output shaft 7. The reduction gearbox output shaft 7 is connected to the reduction gearbox input gear 6. A first transmission gear 25 is installed at the output end of the rotary motor 1. A first transmission wheel 23 is installed on the reduction gearbox output shaft 7. The first transmission gear 25 is connected to the first transmission wheel 23 through a first transmission belt. A second transmission wheel 24 is installed on the reduction gearbox output shaft 7. The second transmission wheel 24 is connected to the reduction gearbox input gear 6 through a second transmission belt. The first transmission gear 25 meshes with the reduction gearbox input gear 6.
[0033] While the output shaft 2 of the rotary motor rotates and drives the output gear 3 of the seat plate to rotate, a portion of the output power of the rotary motor 1 drives the input gear 6 of the gearbox in the linkage gearbox 5 to rotate. Through the internal reduction transmission of the linkage gearbox 5, the output shaft 7 of the gearbox rotates. The output shaft 7 of the gearbox has a spline structure and cooperates with the spline hole of the angle adjuster 8 to drive the angle adjuster to rotate. The angle adjustment of the backrest 17 is achieved through the connection between the backrest 17 and the angle adjuster 8.
[0034] This feature allows users to customize the backrest angle to their specific requirements, such as semi-reclining, full reclining, or zero gravity. The structure is simple and reliable.
[0035] 2. Working principle of leg support
[0036] The main structure includes a leg support motor 9, which is connected to the leg support 12 via a lead screw 11. The leg support 12 is mounted on the main frame 19 via a leg support rotation shaft 10. The lead screw 11 is hinged to the leg support 12 via a rotating rod 22, which can rotate around the lead screw 11.
[0037] The power output of the leg support motor 9 is achieved through the lead screw 11 to realize linear motion. The lead screw 11 is connected to the leg support 12 through a connector. The forward movement of the lead screw 11 causes the leg support 12 to rotate along the leg support rotation axis 10, thereby achieving the angle adjustment of the leg support 12.
[0038] A sensor is provided between the leg rest 12, the seat plate 16, and the handle. The sensor signal is connected to the controller, and the controller signal is connected to the leg rest motor 9.
[0039] The leg support 12 can achieve anti-pinch function through the cooperation of sensors and controls. It will automatically stop operating after reaching a certain anti-pinch force value to prevent injury.
[0040] The leg rest angle can be customized according to user requirements, and can be used in conjunction with the backrest to achieve semi-reclining, full-reclining, and zero-gravity postures.
[0041] 3. Manual adjustment function
[0042] The main structure includes a manual conversion device 13 and a backrest manual clutch lever 15; the manual conversion device 13 includes a leg rest manual clutch lever 14, which is connected to the leg rest motor clutch gear of the leg rest motor 9, and can drive the leg rest motor clutch gear to disengage; the backrest manual clutch lever 15 is connected to the rotary motor clutch gear of the rotary motor 1, and can drive the rotary motor clutch gear to disengage.
[0043] The manual conversion device 13 enables manual adjustment of the backrest, seat, and leg rest, and is mainly used for seat reset in the absence of power and manual adjustment during maintenance.
[0044] Manually engage the leg support clutch lever 14 to disengage the clutch gear inside the leg support motor 9 via the cable. At this time, the leg support 12 can be manually moved to achieve adjustment in the absence of power. After releasing the lever, the clutch gear automatically resets and re-engages to return to the normal electric adjustment state.
[0045] The manual adjustment of the seat backrest works similarly. Manually engage the manual clutch lever 15 on the backrest, and the clutch gear inside the rotary motor 1 will disengage via the cable. At this time, the seat backrest can be manually adjusted to achieve adjustment in the absence of power. After releasing the lever, the clutch gear will automatically reset and re-engage to return to the normal electric adjustment state.
