[0015] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 2As shown, the locking structure of this car seat slide rail includes an upper rail 100, a lower rail 200, a tension spring 300, a locking pawl 500, a gap elimination assembly 600, and a sliding bearing assembly 700. Toothed windows are arranged on both sides of the upper rail 100. The locking pawl 500 is connected to the upper rail 100 through the tension spring 300, and the sliding bearing assembly 700 is connected to the upper rail 100. Toothed windows 203 are arranged on both sides of the lower rail 200. The teeth of the locking pawl 500 can move up and down in the toothed windows 203 of the lower rail 200. When the locking pawl 500 is kept stationary by the upward force of the tension spring 300, the teeth of the locking pawl 500 enter the toothed windows 203 on both sides of the lower rail 200 to achieve locking.

[0016] Specifically, to achieve locking and unlocking, this embodiment uses two tension springs 300. The upper rail 100 and the locking pawl 500 are connected by two tension springs 300. The gap-eliminating component 600 is connected to the upper rail 100 by riveting. The sliding bearing assembly 700 is also connected to the upper rail 100 by riveting. After the upper rail 100 is assembled with the tension springs 300, the gap-eliminating component 600, the sliding bearing assembly 700, and the locking pawl 500, it is slidably installed into the cavity of the lower rail 200. Here, the upper rail 100 includes an upper rail body 101 with a U-shaped cross-section and upper bent portions 102 located on both sides of the upper rail body 101 and bent outwards. U-shaped locking pawls 500 are arranged on both sides of the upper rail body 101. The locking pawls 500 are connected to the upper rail 100 by tension springs 300. The teeth of the locking pawls 500 can move up and down in the side toothed windows 103 of the upper rail 100.
