AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies require redesigning and manufacturing lock body parts when matching latches of different diameters, resulting in high development costs, long development cycles, more parts, increased error prevention costs, and limited tolerance between latches and lock bodies. There is also a risk that the latch diameter may be too small to lock properly, making it difficult to meet customer requirements and lacking market competitiveness.

Method used

A car seat lock body with good adaptability is designed. By setting an expansion component on the ratchet, including first and second expansion parts, the ratchet and the anti-return pawl are used to adapt to locks of different diameters, avoiding the need to redesign the entire lock body. The expansion component extends and enlarges the shape on the upper surface of the ratchet to ensure the locking effect.

Benefits of technology

It enables the adaptation of locks with different diameters without changing the meshing surface of the ratchet and pawl, reducing development costs, improving the adaptability and security of the lock body, and ensuring the stability and security of the lock body.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of automobile accessories, in particular to an automobile seat lock body with good adaptability. BACKGROUND

[0002] The automobile seat lock is an important component of automobile seat design, and mainly functions to ensure the stability and safety of the seat. The design of the automobile seat lock needs to consider multiple factors, including the spatial arrangement and performance requirements of the lock body. However, due to different vehicle models and load conditions of different customers, different diameters of lock catches need to be matched, which brings certain challenges to the design and manufacturing of the lock body.

[0003] In the prior art, when dealing with the matching problem of lock catches with different diameters, it is usually necessary to redesign and manufacture lock body parts that match them, which can cause problems such as high development cost and long cycle. In addition, due to the large number of parts, the mistake-proofing cost is also increased. Moreover, due to the limited tolerance range of the lock catch and the lock body, if the diameter of the lock catch is too small, there may be a risk of being unable to lock, which makes the existing lock body structure unable to meet the requirements of customers and lack of market competitiveness. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the embodiments of the application is to provide an automobile seat lock body with good adaptability, which can solve the technical problems that in the prior art, when dealing with the matching of lock catches with different diameters, it is usually necessary to redesign and manufacture lock body parts, resulting in high development cost and long cycle, and the large number of parts also increases the mistake-proofing cost. Moreover, due to the limited tolerance range of the lock catch and the lock body, if the diameter of the lock catch is too small, there may be a risk of being unable to lock, which makes the existing lock body structure difficult to meet the requirements of customers and lack of competitiveness.

[0005] The embodiments of the application provide an automobile seat lock body with good adaptability, which comprises a bottom plate, a ratchet wheel and a non-return pawl. The ratchet wheel and the non-return pawl are both rotationally arranged on the bottom plate. The ratchet wheel can be used in cooperation with the non-return pawl. An expansion assembly is arranged on the ratchet wheel, and the expansion assembly can abut against a lock catch.

[0006] The expansion assembly comprises a first expansion piece. An installation hole is formed in the ratchet wheel. The first expansion piece is sleeved on the ratchet wheel, and a first mounting block is fixedly arranged on the first expansion piece. The first mounting block is limitingly matched with the installation hole.

[0007] The expansion assembly further comprises a second expansion piece. An installation slot is formed in the ratchet wheel. The second expansion piece is sleeved on the ratchet wheel, and a second mounting block is fixedly arranged on the second expansion piece. The second mounting block is limitingly matched with the installation slot.

[0008] The base plate is riveted with a first rivet and a second rivet, the ratchet is rotatably sleeved on the first rivet, and the anti-return pawl is rotatably sleeved on the second rivet.

[0009] The second rivet is rotatably fitted with a driving pawl, the driving pawl has a limit hole, and the anti-return pawl is riveted with a limit pin, the limit pin passing through the limit hole;

[0010] A first torsion spring is fitted on the first rivet, one end of the first torsion spring is connected to the base plate, and the other end of the first torsion spring is connected to the ratchet.

[0011] A second torsion spring is fitted onto the second rivet. One end of the second torsion spring is connected to the base plate, and the other end of the second torsion spring is connected to the drive pawl.

[0012] The drive pawl is equipped with an unlocking lever.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This utility model provides a highly adaptable car seat lock body. When locking is required, the operator applies force to the seat, causing the lock buckle to move into the U-shaped groove of the base plate. The lock buckle pushes the ratchet to rotate counterclockwise, and the ratchet pushes the anti-return pawl to rotate clockwise until the ratchet and anti-return pawl engage. At this point, the expansion component abuts against the lock buckle, and the ratchet and anti-return pawl work together to lock and fix the lock buckle. This car seat lock body, without changing the meshing surface of the ratchet and pawl, extends and enlarges the ratchet's shape on the upper surface of the ratchet by setting an expansion component. It can adapt to lock buckles of different diameters without redesigning and manufacturing the entire lock body, resulting in low development costs, improved lock body adaptability, and ensured lock body safety.
