Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive seat technology, and in particular to a high-profile automotive seat. Background Technology
[0002] Many car seats need to have height adjustment functions. For example, the driver's seat needs to adjust the height of the seat cushion to adjust the position of the passenger's legs so that the passenger can easily press the brake or accelerator / electric pedals.
[0003] Many existing height-adjustable car seats use a four-bar linkage. The front end of the seat cushion assembly is hinged to the base via a front link, and the rear end is hinged to the base via a rear link. The base is equipped with a height adjustment drive (such as a lead screw motor), which is connected to the rear link. The extension and retraction of the height adjustment drive causes the rear link to rotate, which in turn drives the four-bar linkage, causing the seat cushion assembly to rise and fall. However, since the height adjustment drive is connected to the rear link, it swings with the swing of the rear link. When it swings to the rear end of the seat cushion, it can easily affect the legroom for rear passengers. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to propose a car seat with a simple structure that does not affect the legroom of the rear passengers.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is to propose a car seat with a high profile, comprising:
[0006] Base;
[0007] The seat cushion assembly comprises a front link and a rear link. The seat cushion assembly is movably mounted on the base. The front link is located at the front end of the seat cushion assembly, and its upper end is rotatably connected to the seat cushion assembly, while its lower end is movably mounted on the base. The rear link is located at the rear end of the seat cushion assembly, and its upper end is rotatably connected to the seat cushion assembly, while its lower end is rotatably connected to the base.
[0008] A high-adjustment drive component is provided, one end of which is rotatably connected to the seat cushion assembly and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the base. The high-adjustment drive component is also telescopic, which adjusts the position of the seat cushion assembly by raising and lowering it.
[0009] Furthermore, the base has a downwardly extending connecting bracket on its side, and the high-adjustment drive is rotatably connected to the connecting bracket.
[0010] Furthermore, the high-adjustment drive is configured as a lead screw motor, which is located near the front end of the seat assembly, and the output lead screw of the lead screw motor is provided with a first lead screw sleeve that can telescopically move relative to the output lead screw;
[0011] The end of the first lead screw sleeve away from the lead screw is rotatably connected to the connecting bracket.
[0012] Furthermore, the base includes a front seat and a rear seat, the lower end of the front connecting rod is movably disposed on the front seat, the lower end of the rear connecting rod is rotatably connected to the rear seat, and the connecting bracket is disposed on the rear seat.
[0013] Furthermore, a zero-gravity adjustment motor and a zero-gravity adjustment linkage are provided on the base near the front end of the seat assembly. The zero-gravity adjustment linkage is rotatably mounted on the base and rotatably connected to the zero-gravity adjustment motor. The lower end of the front linkage is hinged to the zero-gravity adjustment linkage.
[0014] The zero-gravity adjustment motor is configured as a lead screw motor, and a second lead screw sleeve is provided on its output lead screw, the second lead screw sleeve being rotatably connected to the base.
[0015] Furthermore, when adjusting to a high position, the zero-gravity adjustment motor restricts the hinge point between the front linkage and the zero-gravity adjustment linkage to the base.
[0016] The front link rotates relative to the hinge point.
[0017] Furthermore, the base is provided with an upward-facing limiting groove;
[0018] When adjusting to a high position, the hinge point between the front link and the zero-gravity adjustment link is confined within the limiting groove.
[0019] Furthermore, a motor bracket is provided on the zero-gravity adjustment linkage, and the zero-gravity adjustment motor is mounted on the motor bracket and rotatably connected to the motor bracket.
[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a backrest, which is rotatably disposed at the rear end of the seat cushion assembly, and an angle adjuster is provided between the backrest and the seat cushion assembly, the angle adjuster being able to drive the backrest to tilt.
[0021] Furthermore, the bottom of the car seat is provided with an electric slide rail, which includes a lower slide rail and an upper slide rail slidably disposed on the lower slide rail. The base is disposed on the upper slide rail and is fixedly connected to the upper slide rail.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0023] In this invention, one end of the high-adjustment drive component is rotatably connected to the seat cushion assembly, and the other end of the high-adjustment drive component is rotatably connected to the base, but not connected to the rear linkage. When adjusting the height, the high-adjustment drive component will not swing with the swing of the rear linkage, which can effectively prevent it from encroaching on the legroom of the rear passengers, and its stability is better.
[0024] In this invention, the car seat not only features a height adjustment function but also integrates a zero-gravity adjustment function. During zero-gravity adjustment, the zero-gravity adjustment motor drives the zero-gravity adjustment linkage to rotate, which in turn drives the front linkage to rotate, raising the front end of the seat cushion assembly and switching the car seat to zero-gravity mode. Compared to existing car seats that integrate both zero-gravity and height adjustment functions, its overall structure is simpler and its cost is lower.
[0025] In this invention, a limiting groove with an upward opening is provided on the base. When the car seat is adjusted to a higher position, the zero-gravity adjustment motor plays a locking role, which restricts the hinge point between the front linkage and the zero-gravity adjustment linkage in the limiting groove, forming a four-bar linkage mechanism, which ensures the stability of movement when the seat is adjusted to a higher position.

[0048] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the car seat in this embodiment features a zero-gravity adjustment function and a seat cushion height adjustment function. When the car seat is in zero-gravity mode, it can simulate the weightlessness experienced by astronauts in space, allowing passengers to recline on the seat and feel close to a zero-gravity state. This promotes relaxation, improves comfort, ensures sufficient rest, and enhances the overall experience. The seat cushion height can be adjusted to suit passengers of different heights and body types, further improving comfort.
[0049] The car seat with height adjustment in this embodiment mainly includes: a base 100, a seat cushion assembly 200, a front link 300, a rear link 400, a height adjustment drive component 500, a zero-gravity adjustment motor 600, a zero-gravity adjustment linkage 700, a backrest 800, and an electric slide rail 900. In the seat cushion assembly 200, the front link 300, and the rear link 400, the seat cushion assembly 200 is movably mounted on the base 100. The front link 300 is located at the front end of the seat cushion assembly 200, and a front link 300 is provided on each side of the seat cushion assembly 200. The upper end of the front link 300 is rotatably connected to the seat cushion assembly 200, and the lower end of the front link 300 is movably mounted on the base 100. The rear connecting rod 400 is located at the rear end of the seat cushion assembly 200, and its upper end is rotatably connected to the seat cushion assembly 200, while its lower end is rotatably connected to the base 100. One end of the height adjustment drive 500 is rotatably connected to the seat cushion assembly 200, and its other end is rotatably connected to the base 100. In actual use, the height adjustment drive 500 can extend and retract to adjust the position of the seat cushion assembly 200.
[0050] The backrest 800 is rotatably mounted at the rear end of the seat cushion assembly 200, and an adjuster 80 is provided between the backrest 800 and the seat cushion assembly 200. The adjuster 80 can drive the backrest 800 to adjust its tilt angle. When it is necessary to switch the car seat to zero-gravity mode, the tilt angle of the backrest 800 also needs to be adjusted. Under normal use, passengers can also adjust the tilt angle of the backrest 800 relative to the seat cushion assembly 200 according to their actual needs.
[0051] In this embodiment, one end of the high-adjustment drive component 500 is rotatably connected to the seat cushion assembly 200, and the other end of the high-adjustment drive component 500 is rotatably connected to the base 100, but not connected to the rear linkage 400. When adjusting the height, the high-adjustment drive component 500 will not swing with the swing of the rear linkage 400, which can effectively prevent it from encroaching on the legroom of the rear passengers, and its stability is better.
[0052] The high-adjustment drive component 500 drives the seat cushion assembly 200 to adjust its height through telescopic movement. Therefore, telescopic movement components such as gas springs, cylinders, and hydraulic cylinders can all achieve this. Optimally, in this embodiment, the high-adjustment drive component 500 is configured as a lead screw motor, which is positioned close to the front end of the seat cushion assembly 200 to fully utilize the space at the front of the car seat. The output lead screw of the lead screw motor is equipped with a first lead screw sleeve 50 that can telescopically move relative to the output lead screw. The side of the base 100 has a downwardly extending connecting bracket 10, and the high-adjustment drive component 500 is rotatably connected to the connecting bracket 10. Specifically, the end of the first lead screw sleeve 50 furthest from the lead screw is rotatably connected to the connecting bracket 10. By extending the connecting bracket 10 downwardly from the side of the base 100, the first lead screw sleeve 50 is easily hinged, and the lower hinge position provides better stability.
[0053] The base 100 in this embodiment includes a front seat 11 and a rear seat 12. The front seat 11 and the rear seat 12 can be separately arranged or fixedly connected as one unit by a bracket. Choosing a separate arrangement is convenient for installation and saves raw materials. Specifically, a front seat 11 is provided on each of the front two sides of the seat cushion assembly 200, and a rear seat 12 is provided on each of the rear two sides of the seat cushion assembly 200. The lower end of the front connecting rod 300 is movably disposed on the front seat 11, and the lower end of the rear connecting rod 400 is rotatably connected to the rear seat 12. The connecting bracket 10 is disposed on the rear seat 12.
[0054] Specifically, a zero-gravity adjustment motor 600 and a zero-gravity adjustment linkage 700 are provided on the base 100 near the front end of the seat cushion assembly 200. The zero-gravity adjustment linkage 700 is rotatably mounted on the base 100 and rotatably connected to the zero-gravity adjustment motor 600. The lower end of the front linkage 300 is hinged to the zero-gravity adjustment linkage 700. A motor bracket 70 is mounted on the zero-gravity adjustment linkage 700, and the zero-gravity adjustment motor 600 is mounted on and rotatably connected to the motor bracket 70. The zero-gravity adjustment motor 600 is configured as a lead screw motor, and a second lead screw sleeve 60 is mounted on its output lead screw. The second lead screw sleeve 60 is rotatably connected to the base 100. During high-adjustment, the zero-gravity adjustment motor 600 restricts the hinge point between the front link 300 and the zero-gravity adjustment link 700 onto the base 100, allowing the front link 300 to rotate relative to the hinge point. In other words, the zero-gravity adjustment motor 600 acts as a locking mechanism, restricting the hinge point and ensuring the stability of the four-bar linkage during high-adjustment.
[0055] More specifically, the base 100 is provided with an upward-opening limiting groove 1, which is approximately V-shaped. When adjusting for height, the hinge point between the front connecting rod 300 and the zero-gravity adjustment connecting rod 700 is confined within the limiting groove 1.
[0056] In practical use, the car seat not only features a height adjustment function but also integrates a zero-gravity adjustment function. During zero-gravity adjustment, the zero-gravity adjustment motor 600 drives the zero-gravity adjustment linkage 700 to rotate, which in turn drives the front linkage 300 to rotate, raising the front end of the seat cushion assembly 200 and switching the car seat to zero-gravity mode. Compared to existing car seats that integrate both zero-gravity and height adjustment functions, its overall structure is simpler and its cost is lower.
[0057] Furthermore, the base 100 is provided with an upward-facing limiting groove 1. When the car seat is adjusted to a higher position, the zero-gravity adjustment motor 600 plays a locking role, which restricts the hinge point between the front link 300 and the zero-gravity adjustment link 700 in the limiting groove 1, forming a four-bar linkage mechanism to ensure movement stability when the seat is adjusted to a higher position.
[0058] In this embodiment of the car seat, the bottom of the car seat is provided with an electric slide rail 900. The electric slide rail 900 includes a lower slide rail 91 and an upper slide rail 90 slidably disposed on the lower slide rail 91. The base 100 is disposed on the upper slide rail 90 and fixedly connected to the upper slide rail 90. The electric slide rail 900 is generally driven by a motor to slide the upper slide rail 90 along the lower slide rail 91. During use, the motor drives the upper slide rail 90 to slide along the lower slide rail 91, and the car seat is disposed on the upper slide rail 90 and slides along with the upper slide rail 90 to adjust its fore-and-aft position.
[0059] This embodiment integrates a car seat with high-adjustment and zero-gravity functions. Compared to adjusters and dual-screw solutions, it has a simpler structure and lower cost. The high-adjustment screw motor does not swing with the swing of the rear connecting rod 400, resulting in better legroom for rear passengers, allowing the seat cushion to be made lower and better adaptable to the vehicle's environment.
