Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of small car seat technology, specifically a foldable seat back unlocking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Small car seats are movable seats with wheels. They are moved by a drive system that powers the wheels, thus moving the person in the seat. Small car seats are advantageous due to their small size and light weight, making them convenient for use in urban areas.

[0003] Currently, many small mobility scooters on the market have backrests that are difficult to fold, and even when folded, it is difficult to maintain the seat's posture, causing the backrest to bend easily due to pushing force. For example, when someone is sitting in a small mobility scooter, it is difficult for someone behind to push the scooter. Therefore, a foldable seat back unlocking mechanism is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and solve at least one of the technical problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model proposes a foldable seat back unlocking mechanism.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: The present utility model provides a foldable seat back unlocking mechanism, which includes an unlocking mechanism, a backrest, an unlocking plug, and a seat cushion frame. The backrest is connected to the seat cushion frame, and the seat cushion frame is connected to the seat cushion body. One end of the seat cushion frame is provided with an unlocking plug and a threaded bolt. A spring is fixedly installed inside the backrest, and the spring is located inside a sliding key. The backrest has a groove that matches the sliding key. The threaded bolt passes through the backrest, the seat cushion frame, and the spring to lock and fix it to the sliding key.

[0006] Furthermore, a gap is formed between the surface of the slide key and the inner plane of the hole in the backrest and seat cushion frame.

[0007] Furthermore, a rubber pad is fixedly installed inside the seat cushion frame, and the rubber pad abuts against the backrest.

[0008] Furthermore, the surface of the unlocking plug is provided with locking feet, and the unlocking plug is connected to the seat cushion frame by snap-fit.

[0009] Furthermore, the backrest is arc-shaped, and the surface of the seat cushion is made of a non-slip material.

[0010] Furthermore, both the backrest and the seat cushion frame are integrally molded.

[0011] Furthermore, the backrest has an irregular shape, and one side of the backrest has several grooves of varying depths.

[0012] Furthermore, the slide key has an irregular shape and protrusions are provided on it.

[0013] Furthermore, the backrest, seat frame, and seat body are all made of lightweight materials.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-8 As shown, a foldable seat back unlocking mechanism includes an unlocking mechanism comprising a backrest 1, an unlocking plug 2, and a seat cushion frame 3. The backrest 1 is connected to the seat cushion frame 3, and the seat cushion frame 3 is connected to the seat cushion body 4. One end of the seat cushion frame 3 is provided with an unlocking plug 2 and a threaded bolt 5. A spring 6 is fixedly installed inside the backrest 1, and the spring 6 is located inside a sliding key 7. The backrest 1 has a groove that matches the sliding key 7. The threaded bolt 5 passes through the backrest 1, the seat cushion frame 3, and the spring 6 and is locked and fixed to the sliding key 7.

[0030] Specifically, a gap is formed between the surface of the sliding key 7 and the inner plane of the holes in the backrest 1 and seat cushion frame 3. A rubber pad 8 is fixedly installed inside the seat cushion frame 3, and the rubber pad 8 abuts against the backrest 1. The surface of the unlocking cover 2 is provided with a locking foot, and the unlocking cover 2 is connected to the seat cushion frame 3 by a locking mechanism. The backrest 1 is arc-shaped, and the surface of the seat cushion body 4 is made of non-slip material. Both the backrest 1 and the seat cushion frame 3 are integrally molded designs.

[0031] Specifically, the backrest 1 has an irregular shape, with several grooves of varying depths on one side. The slide key 7 also has an irregular shape and protrusions. The backrest 1, seat frame 3, and seat body 4 are all made of lightweight materials. A flexible seat cushion is attached to the top of the seat body 4 via Velcro, and the seat cushion on the seat body 4 is angled.

[0032] During operation, it is important to note that: there is a very small gap between the end face of the slide key 7 and the inner face of the holes in the backrest 1 and seat cushion frame 3. This gap is designed to absorb machining and assembly errors, simplifying the overall structure and integrating it into the design, while also improving installation quality. The rubber pad 8 is installed on the backrest 1 to provide a reaction force for unlocking the backrest 1, further simplifying the structure. The unlocking plug 2 is installed on the seat frame via its own locking feet, simultaneously pressing the slide key 7. The overall structure is compact, with fewer parts, reducing assembly errors.

[0033] When a person presses the unlocking cap 2, it causes the sliding key 7 to move within the groove of the backrest 1. Under the action of the rubber pad 8, the backrest 1 is opened, and the backrest 1 is unlocked. During the rotation of the backrest 1 around the threaded bolt 5, the sliding key 7 is reset under the action of the spring 6, and the backrest 1 completes its folding and locking function. When the backrest 1 is folded, it interferes with the seat cushion body 4. When a person presses the unlocking cap 2, it causes the sliding key 7 to move within the groove of the backrest 1.

Furthermore, the sliding key 7 is screwed into the grooves of the backrest 1 and seat frame, using the boundary of the sliding key 7 to position the boundaries of the grooves of the backrest 1 and seat frame, improving positioning accuracy and reducing manufacturing difficulty. The compression characteristics of the spring 6 are also utilized; pressing the unlocking plug 2 causes the sliding key 7 to compress the spring 6, and the compressed spring 6 rebounds, moving the sliding key 7. Locking and unlocking are achieved by the sliding key 7 sliding within the grooves of the backrest 1 and seat frame.

[0035] Working principle: When a person presses the unlocking cap 2, it causes the sliding key 7 to move in the groove of the backrest 1. Under the action of the rubber pad 8, the backrest 1 is opened, and the backrest 1 is unlocked. During the rotation of the backrest 1 around the threaded bolt 5, the sliding key 7 is reset under the action of the spring 6, and the backrest 1 completes the folding and locking function. When the backrest 1 is folded, it interferes with the seat cushion body 4. When a person presses the unlocking cap 2, it causes the sliding key 7 to move in the groove of the backrest 1. Under the action of the seat cushion body 4, the backrest 1 is opened, and the backrest 1 is unlocked. During the rotation of the backrest 1 around the threaded bolt 5, the sliding key 7 is reset under the action of the spring 6, and the backrest 1 completes the unfolding and locking function.
