[0025] It also includes a backrest frame assembly, which includes a backrest side panel 4, a backrest panel 5, and a backrest U-shaped tube 6. The backrest side panel 4 is rotatably connected to the seat cushion side panel 1. The backrest panel 5 is connected between the backrest side panels 4. The two ends of the backrest U-shaped tube 6 are fixedly connected to the backrest side panels 4. The backrest U-shaped tube 6 is provided with an upper horizontal connecting wire 16, and the backrest side panels 4 are provided with a lower horizontal connecting wire 17.
[0026] Side panel 1: Provides lateral support and boundary definition for the seat cushion. Together with the cross panel 2, it forms the basic frame structure of the seat cushion, helps maintain the shape of the seat cushion, and provides a connection base for other components.
[0027] Seat cushion horizontal plate 2: It connects the two seat cushion side plates 1 laterally, enhances the stability of the seat cushion frame, and provides a connection point for the seat cushion suspension spring 3, bearing the pressure transmitted from the seat cushion suspension spring 3 and the weight applied by the human body.
[0028] Seat cushion suspension spring 3: As an elastic element, it mainly plays the role of cushioning and shock absorption. When a person sits on the seat cushion, it can produce elastic deformation according to the changes in body weight and sitting posture, providing comfortable support and reducing the impact force on the human body.
[0029] Backrest side panel 4: Rotatably connected to seat cushion side panel 1, allowing the backrest to rotate at a certain angle relative to the seat cushion to adapt to different sitting postures. Simultaneously, it connects the back panel 5 and the backrest U-shaped tube 6, providing lateral support and overall structural stability for the backrest.
[0030] Backrest 5: Connected between the two backrest side panels 4, it provides large-area support for the human back, ensuring back comfort and helping to distribute the pressure of the human back evenly to the backrest side panels 4 and other support components.
[0031] Backrest U-shaped tube 6: Its two ends are fixedly connected to the backrest side panel 4, enhancing the overall strength and stability of the backrest frame. The upper horizontal connecting wire 16 on the tube and the lower horizontal connecting wire 17 between the backrest side panel 4 further reinforce the backrest structure. It can also be used to install other auxiliary components, such as decorative fabric or padding for the backrest, making the backrest more sturdy and aesthetically pleasing.
[0032] Specifically, the connecting mechanism includes a locking assembly and a connecting plate 7. The connecting plate 7 is fixedly connected to both ends of the seat cushion suspension spring 3. A connecting groove 8 is provided on the seat cushion cross plate 2 for connecting the connecting plate 7 and the seat cushion suspension spring 3. The connecting plate 7 is locked and fixed in the connecting groove 8 by the locking assembly. The locking assembly includes a return spring 9, a moving plate 10 and a locking rod 11. An installation groove 12 is provided on the seat cushion cross plate 2 for installing the return spring 9. The other end of the return spring 9 is connected to the moving plate 10.

[0033] When installing the seat cushion suspension spring 3, first push the push plate 14. The push plate 14 can drive the moving plate 10 to move in the mounting groove 12. The moving plate 10 squeezes the return spring 9. The push plate 14 can drive the locking rod 11 to move. Then, the connecting plates 7 at both ends of the seat cushion suspension spring 3 are locked into the connecting groove 8 on the seat cushion horizontal plate 2. Then, the push plate 14 is released. The return spring 9 releases its elastic potential energy and pushes the moving plate 10 to move. The locking rod 11 on the moving plate 10 is locked into the locking groove 13 on the connecting plate 7. Thus, the connecting plate 7 is locked and fixed in the connecting groove 8, thereby fixing the seat cushion suspension spring 3 to the seat cushion horizontal plate 2.
[0034] When disassembling the seat cushion suspension spring 3, move the push plate 14 to move the moving plate 10 and drive the locking rod 11 to move, so that the locking rod 11 is moved out of the locking groove 13, and then the connecting plate 7 can be taken out of the connecting groove 8.
[0035] The entire disassembly process does not require complicated disassembly steps. Compared with the traditional complicated connection method, this design greatly shortens the replacement time of the seat cushion spring 3, which significantly improves the maintenance efficiency of the seat and lays a solid foundation for ensuring the continuous and stable performance of the seat.
[0036] In this embodiment, the seat cushion side panel 1 and seat cushion cross panel 2 are made of aluminum-magnesium alloy, and the backrest side panel 4 and back panel 5 are made of QP980 material. The seat cushion side panel 1, seat cushion cross panel 2, backrest side panel 4 and back panel 5 are all provided with a zinc phosphate coating 18, and a polyurethane coating 19 is provided on the outside of the zinc phosphate coating 18.
[0037] The seat cushion side panels 1 and the cross panel are made of aluminum-magnesium alloy, which is lightweight and easy to move and install, reducing transportation costs and energy consumption. It is also strong enough to support the weight of the human body, highly corrosion resistant, and can adapt to various usage environments such as humidity, thus extending its service life.
[0038] The QP980 material used for the backrest side panels 4 and backrest 5 has excellent yield strength and tensile strength, giving the backrest super rigidity and ensuring the safety of the passenger's back under impact. Its good formability can also precisely fit the ergonomic design and improve comfort.
[0039] The zinc-based phosphate coating 18 forms a dense phosphate film on the metal surface, enhancing the adhesion between the metal and the polyurethane coating 19, preventing peeling, and significantly improving corrosion resistance, thus providing dual protection. It also has micro-lubricity, which is beneficial for component assembly.
[0040] The polyurethane coating 19 has excellent wear resistance, resisting daily friction and scratches and protecting seat components; it has good flexibility, adapting to deformation caused by temperature and vibration, and preventing the coating from cracking; it has strong weather resistance, withstanding ultraviolet rays and extreme temperatures, keeping the seat's appearance as good as new for a long time.
