Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive seat technology, and in particular to an automotive seat that can integrate leg support and seat cushion extension functions. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of the automotive industry and the increasing demands of consumers for driving and riding experiences, the functionality and comfort of car seats have become key concerns for consumers. In scenarios involving long-distance driving or where high comfort is required, the presence of leg rests and seat cushion extension functions in car seats is particularly important. Leg rests provide effective support for passengers' legs, reducing leg fatigue. For those who travel long distances, proper leg support can improve blood circulation in the legs, reduce muscle tension and soreness, and enhance overall riding comfort. Especially for taller individuals or those with longer legs, leg rests can better conform to the leg curves, providing personalized support to meet the needs of different passengers. Seat cushion extension functions further increase the effective length of the seat cushion, providing passengers with more legroom. Tall and long passengers often feel that the seat cushion is not long enough when using ordinary seats, causing their legs to dangle and affecting riding comfort. Seat cushion extension functions can extend the seat cushion forward according to the actual needs of passengers, allowing their legs to receive ample support, thereby improving riding comfort and stability. However, traditional car seat designs typically do not include both leg rests and front seat cushion extensions simultaneously. The most prominent problem is that when the front seat cushion extension extends forward, it presses against the front leg rest, causing interference. This interference not only affects the normal use of the seat but may also damage the seat structure and reduce its lifespan. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a car seat that can integrate leg support and seat cushion extension functions, which can improve the comfort of the seat and avoid interference problems.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a car seat that integrates leg support and seat cushion extension functions, including a leg support assembly and a seat cushion assembly. The seat cushion assembly includes a seat frame frame, a seat basin support, and a seat cushion extension plate. The seat frame frame and the seat basin support are fixed to each other. A fixed bracket is fixedly mounted on the seat frame frame. A movable bracket is slidably connected to the fixed bracket. A driving mechanism is provided between the movable bracket and the fixed bracket. The driving mechanism can drive the movable bracket to slide back and forth along the fixed bracket. The rear end of the leg support assembly is fixed to the movable bracket. The seat cushion extension plate is arranged on the front end of the top of the seat basin support and is slidably connected to it. It passes through the seat basin support and is fixedly connected to the movable bracket. When the driving mechanism drives the movable bracket to slide forward, it can drive the seat cushion extension plate to slide forward to lengthen the seat cushion, and at the same time, it can drive the entire leg support assembly to move forward.
[0005] The leg support assembly is a foldable and flip-open electric leg support mechanism in the prior art. The rear end of the electric leg support mechanism is fixed to the movable bracket by two spaced-apart brackets on the left and right.
[0006] In the above solution: the seat cushion extension plate is provided with several guide grooves, and the seat basin support is fixed with limiting bolts at each guide groove. The limiting bolts slide and limit the movement within the corresponding guide grooves, thereby achieving a sliding connection between the seat cushion extension plate and the seat basin support. The guide grooves provide a clear track for the sliding of the seat cushion extension plate. The limiting bolts slide within the guide grooves, which restricts the movement direction of the seat cushion extension plate, ensuring that it can only slide back and forth along the path set by the guide grooves. This avoids deviation, shaking, or jamming during the sliding process, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the sliding.
[0007] In the above solution: a transverse support tube is fixed between the left and right sides of the upper front end of the seat frame, and the fixed bracket is fixed on the transverse support tube. The structure is simple and easy to install.
[0008] In the above solution: the fixed bracket is fixed to the horizontal support tube by mounting sheet metal, the mounting sheet metal and the horizontal support tube are welded together, and the fixed bracket and the mounting sheet metal are fixed by locking bolts. The structure is simple and the fixed bracket is easy to assemble and disassemble.
[0009] In the above scheme: the fixed bracket has a U-shaped structure, and two guide shafts are provided between the front and rear side walls of the fixed bracket. The two guide shafts are arranged alternately on the left and right sides. The movable bracket is slidably sleeved on the two guide shafts, thereby realizing a sliding connection with the fixed bracket. The alternate arrangement of the two guide shafts provides two stable support points and guide paths for the movable bracket. During the sliding process, the movable bracket can move smoothly back and forth along these two guide shafts, effectively avoiding shaking, offset, or jamming caused by single-point support or insufficient guidance.
[0010] In the above solution: the driving mechanism is a lead screw transmission mechanism, which includes a motor, a lead screw connected to the motor, and a nut threaded onto the lead screw. The motor is fixed to a fixed bracket, and the lead screw extends forward and backward, with its end rotatably connected to the corresponding side wall of the fixed bracket. The movable bracket has an "n"-shaped structure, and the nut is fixed in the middle of the inner cavity of the movable bracket. The power output by the motor can be efficiently converted into linear motion of the movable bracket, enabling the leg support assembly and seat extension plate to quickly respond to operating commands and achieve rapid extension and retraction, thus improving the convenience and efficiency of use.
[0011] In the above solution: the seat cushion extension plate is fixedly connected to the movable bracket by a fixing bolt passing through the seat support. The seat support is provided with a clearance hole for the fixing bolt to move back and forth. The structure is simple and easy to install. The design of the clearance hole ensures that the back and forth movement of the seat cushion extension plate will not be interfered with by the seat support.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By integrating the leg rest into the front extension plate of the seat cushion, and through ingenious structural design, the seat cushion extension plate and the leg rest assembly can move in tandem. When the drive mechanism moves the movable support, the seat cushion extension plate and the leg rest assembly can move forward synchronously, effectively avoiding interference between the two and achieving a perfect integration of the leg rest and seat cushion extension functions. This innovative design ensures that the leg rest opening and seat cushion extension functions can operate independently and stably. Passengers can freely adjust the seat cushion length and leg rest position according to their needs without worrying about conflicts between functions, thus improving the practicality and reliability of the seat.
