Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive seat technology, specifically to an automotive backrest frame structure. Background Technology

[0002] The car seat frame is the core load-bearing component of a car seat, and its strength and safety directly affect the comfort and safety of the occupants. As the main load-bearing structure, the backrest frame of the front seats is crucial to the overall performance of the seat. Especially in the event of a collision, the backrest frame needs to withstand enormous impact forces to prevent occupant injury and ensure the integrity of the seat.

[0003] Traditional automotive backrest frames are typically constructed by welding tubing and sheet metal. While this structural method is technologically mature, it suffers from insufficient bending stiffness, making it prone to bending deformation and resulting in a decrease in the overall rigidity of the backrest frame. To compensate for these strength and stiffness deficiencies, traditional structures often require increasing the sheet metal thickness or welding multiple reinforcing plates, which increases the weight of the backrest frame and hinders lightweight automotive design. Therefore, developing a new automotive backrest frame structure to address these issues is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a car backrest frame structure that can solve the problems of insufficient bending stiffness, stress concentration, heavy weight, and high cost of existing backrest frame structures made of welded tubular and sheet materials.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a car backrest frame structure, including opposing side panel frames, a chassis frame at the lower end of the side panel frames, and a U-shaped tube between the upper ends of the side panel frames. The side panel frame includes a side panel body, the width of which gradually increases from top to bottom. A connecting portion is provided at the lower end of the side panel body, and an inwardly recessed groove is provided in the middle of the side panel body.

[0010] As a supplement to the technical solution described in this utility model, both ends of the chassis frame are integrally formed with overlapping edges. The inner sidewalls of the overlapping edges are closely fitted to the outer sidewalls of the first flange and the second flange and fixed by welding, resulting in good connection strength.

[0011] As a supplement to the technical solution described in this utility model, a third reinforcing rib is provided on the overlapping edge of the rear side of the chassis frame, which improves the structural stability of the overlapping edge and avoids deformation.

[0012] As a supplement to the technical solution described in this utility model, the upper end of the side plate body is provided with two rectangular recesses, and the upper end of the first flange is provided with a rectangular recess. The rectangular recesses are provided with openings for welding. The structural strength of the butt joint is improved by providing rectangular recesses, and the openings facilitate rapid welding.

[0013] As a supplement to the technical solution described in this utility model, two concave portions are arranged side by side at the upper middle part of the U-shaped tube, and the concave portions are used to install the headrest connector.

[0014] As a supplement to the technical solution described in this utility model, the two ends of the chassis frame are provided with arc-shaped ribs on both sides of the second reinforcing rib. The arc-shaped ribs are arranged along the arc-shaped outer side wall of the chassis frame. The addition of arc-shaped ribs is used to improve the overall structural strength of the chassis frame.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] The gradual width design of the side panel, the folded extension, the reinforcing ribs, and the flanges significantly improve bending stiffness, thus enhancing the structure's strength, rigidity, and stability. This provides better support, and the rectangular concave inner wall forms a positioning surface, facilitating the positioning and welding of the U-shaped tubes. This design addresses the problems of insufficient bending stiffness, stress concentration, heavy weight, and high cost inherent in existing backrest frame structures made of welded tubing and sheet metal.
