AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing car seat footrest mechanism is linked to the front seat, making it difficult for rear passengers to obtain stable and comfortable foot support. In addition, the space competition is severe when the front seat is equipped with a small table and footrest mechanism.

Method used

Design a footrest mechanism hidden under the seat. Utilize the gap between the seat bottom and the vehicle floor to achieve stable support independent of the seat back through an extension, folding, and locking mechanism. Combined with a slide rail, drive motor, and multi-link hinge structure, ensure that the footrest mechanism is not affected when the seat is adjusted.

Benefits of technology

It provides stable and comfortable foot support, solves the space competition problem, improves the utilization of interior space, reduces production costs, and enhances the riding experience.

Abstract

The utility model provides a kind of foot support mechanism hidden in the bottom of seat, there is gap between the bottom of seat and car body floor, foot support mechanism is laid in the gap, foot support mechanism includes extension mechanism, fold mechanism and locking mechanism;Extension mechanism includes driving mechanism, bridge support and mounting bracket, driving mechanism is fixed on mounting bracket, bridge support is slidably connected on mounting bracket, fold mechanism includes support sheet metal and turnover assembly, support sheet metal is installed on bridge support by turnover assembly, and it is in flat state, driving mechanism is connected with support sheet metal and can drive it and bridge support move back together, when support sheet metal is completely extended from seat, locking mechanism can realize the backward sliding locking of bridge support, at this time, driving mechanism continues to work and can drive support sheet metal to fold upwards, so that it forms the support state of front high and rear low.The utility model can provide comfortable, stable foot support for rear passenger, while optimizing the space utilization of front seat.
