TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile seat, specifically relates to a car rear row handrail locking mechanism. BACKGROUND
[0002] The car rear row handrail is a device for providing arm support, increasing comfort and convenience for passengers, which is usually hidden in the middle of the backrest of two independent seats in the second row (or the middle position of a three-seat bench). When in use, it can be folded down to open and form a platform between the two seats to realize arm support, cup holder placement and other functions.
[0003] Most conventional handrails use damping blocks to achieve folding or unfolding, but as the service life increases, the damping blocks will age, resulting in the inability to fold. In order to solve the above problems, handrail structures with locking function appear on the market, but the locking and unlocking mechanisms of common handrail structures are complex in structure, have many parts, and require high production and process requirements. If not handled properly, problems such as locking jamming, abnormal noise, etc. may occur. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0006] The unlocking mechanism comprises a locking block vertically rotating arranged on the left side or the right side of the unlocking bracket, the locking block is used for limiting the stop shaft in a section of the limiting hole relative to the end head to realize folding of the handrail framework, an elastic member is connected between one end of the locking block and the unlocking bracket, the other end of the locking block rotates and covers the limiting hole under the action of the elastic member, a positioning stop edge for abutting of the locking block is horizontally arranged on the unlocking bracket, an unlocking pull belt extending forward and backward is arranged on the locking block, the front end of the unlocking pull belt extends out of the shell of the handrail, and the unlocking pull belt is used for rotating the locking block to move away from the limiting hole.
[0007] In the above scheme: the other end of the stop shaft also passes through the mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket is provided with a clearance notch corresponding to the stop shaft, and when the handrail framework is rotated to the horizontal state, the stop shaft is just abutted in the clearance notch. The mounting bracket and the unlocking bracket on both sides can be supported, and the stress on both sides is more balanced, thereby ensuring the support stability of the handrail framework.
[0008] In the above scheme: the stop shaft is arranged at the end of the handrail framework, and the rotation point of the locking block is arranged behind the limiting hole, the top of one end of the locking block is provided with a protrusion, the top of the protrusion is located above the limiting hole, the top of the protrusion is provided with a mounting groove for mounting the unlocking pull belt, and the end of the unlocking pull belt is fixed in the mounting groove. The stop shaft is arranged at the end, and the locking block is arranged at the rear, i.e. the locking block is arranged outside the arc of the limiting hole, so that the stop shaft can be avoided from being stuck as much as possible, the arrangement is reasonable, and the space of the rear part of the unlocking bracket can be fully utilized.
[0009] In the above scheme: the side of the locking block for abutting against the stop shaft is a circular arc edge, and the center of the circular arc edge is the rotation point of the locking block. The rotation requirement is met, and the locking block cannot be stuck.
[0010] In the above scheme: the in-position blocking edge is arranged around the limiting hole.
[0011] In the above scheme: the mounting bracket and the unlocking bracket are provided with a horizontal pipe extending leftward and rightward, and the mounting bracket and the unlocking bracket are fixedly connected with the horizontal pipe, so that the support strength between the mounting bracket and the unlocking bracket is improved.
[0012] In conclusion, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: only one horizontal rod, a locking block, an elastic member and an unlocking pull belt need to be arranged, compared with the traditional damper mode, the structure is simple, the cost is low, and the locking mechanism has a longer service life due to the fact that the damper is easy to wear. The stop rod in combination with the limiting hole can limit the rotation range and meet the conversion between the folding and use states of the handrail framework. The locking block can lock the stop rod and avoid the handrail framework from falling down after being rotated downward in the non-use state. The unlocking pull belt is arranged on the side of the handrail framework in combination with the hinge bracket, and the arrangement position is low, so that passengers with different heights can unlock.
