[0029] The utility model further provides a kind of seat, including seat frame, chair back and chair pad, chair back and chair pad are installed on seat frame, and folding leg support for seat is installed on seat frame. Here, the both sides of seat frame are rotatably connected with the one end of two swing arms fixed point rotation, i.e. the both sides of the armrest end of seat frame, each is provided with a rotating shaft that can be rotated for swing arm and seat mounting point 11, swing arm 1 is sleeved on rotating shaft by swing arm and seat mounting point 11, and swing arm 1 can rotate around rotating shaft. When swing arm rotates to maximum amplitude, the position locking of swing arm is stopped. Stop function can be realized by setting spring buckle on swing arm or seat. Since lock catch stop function is prior art in the industry, it will not be described here.
[0030] Working principle:
[0031] Swing arm 1 is rotated to the front of seat, and base 2 and first supporting plate 3 are pushed forward. Since external fixed point 5 is fixed, when swing arm 1 swings forward and away from external fixed point 5, pull rope 23 is pulled out of rope ring 24, rope ring 24 rotates, and gear 21 is rotated on rack 31. Since gear 21 is fixed on base 2, and rack 31 is fixed on first supporting plate 3, when rack 31 is displaced relative to gear 21, first supporting plate 3 is moved relative to base 2 in the length direction of rack 31. When first supporting plate 3 moves relative to base 2, slider 33 slides along slide rail 26, to avoid trajectory deviation in the direct movement of first supporting plate 3 relative to base 2. When swing arm 1 is rotated to specified amplitude, swing arm 1 is stopped and locked to fixed position, and no longer moves. At this time, second supporting plate 4 can be manually opened, to realize foot support function.
[0032] When leg support needs to be retracted, the stop of swing arm 1 is unlocked, and inner rod 32 is pulled back to rod sleeve 25 due to the action of tension spring between inner rod 32 and rod sleeve 25. Rod sleeve 25 is fixed on base 2, and inner rod 32 is fixed on first supporting plate 3. Under the action of tension spring, first supporting plate 3 is pushed back to its initial position on base 2. Gear 21 returns to initial position along rack 31, and pull rope 23 is rewound into rope ring 24. At this time, second supporting plate 4 can be manually rotated towards first supporting plate 3, to retract second supporting plate 4 and close foot support function.
[0033] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, some improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered within the protection scope of the present application.
