Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to a drive structure for adjusting automotive seats. Background Technology
[0002] As automobiles are a widely used means of transportation, and as people's living standards improve, automobile manufacturers are also placing greater emphasis on comfort, especially in the area of car seats. The drive structure of existing car seats usually consists of a lead screw and a drive block connected to the outer wall of the lead screw. The seat movement is achieved through the interaction between the slider and the lead screw.
[0003] The published patent document CN209654531U discloses a horizontal drive reduction gearbox for automotive seats. This patent reduces noise by setting a wear-resistant ring to reduce friction between the worm gear teeth and the inner wall of the reduction gearbox, and by setting a shim to separate the wheel body from the wear-resistant ring to prevent the end face of the wheel body from scratching the wear-resistant ring and causing wear. However, the inner wall of the worm gear still makes noise when it is in use due to the engagement with the lead screw thread. Therefore, an improvement is now made to the drive structure for adjusting automotive seats. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this application provides a drive structure for adjusting automobile seats, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and aims to solve the problems in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a drive structure for adjusting an automotive seat, comprising a mounting base, a reduction gearbox, and a lead screw. The reduction gearbox contains a drive block and a worm gear. The drive block includes a worm wheel meshing with the worm gear. Internal threads are centrally arranged on the inner wall of the worm wheel. A retaining ring is fixedly connected to both sides of the worm wheel. A lead screw hole is provided on the outer wall of the reduction gearbox for the lead screw to pass through. The lead screw hole is coaxial with the worm wheel. The lead screw passes through the lead screw hole and engages with the internal threads on the inner wall of the worm wheel. A sound-absorbing ring is fixedly bonded to the inner wall of the retaining ring, and a gap is left between the inner wall of the sound-absorbing ring and the outer wall of the lead screw.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the internal threads are concentrated in the middle area of the inner wall of the worm gear, so that the meshing action between the internal threads and the lead screw is concentrated in the center position, reducing the vibration and noise generated by friction at both ends of the drive block. By setting blocking rings and sound-absorbing rings, the noise generated during the sliding process of the drive block is blocked and absorbed, thereby reducing noise.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer wall of the blocking ring is fitted with a gasket that abuts against the end face of the worm gear teeth, and a wear-resistant ring is fitted on the outer wall of the blocking ring on the other side of the gasket. The wear-resistant ring is composed of a radial support ring and an axial support ring, and the outer wall of the axial support ring is symmetrically provided with protrusions.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the worm gear and the wear ring are separated by a shim to avoid wear between them. The radial support ring of the wear ring is used to bear the radial force when the drive block rotates, and the axial support ring is used to bear the axial force generated when the drive block rotates and drives the seat forward and backward. This effectively disperses stress, reduces wear, and lowers noise.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the inside of the gearbox is provided with grooves symmetrically opened on the outside of the lead screw hole, and the protrusions are adapted to the grooves.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the wear-resistant ring is fixed inside the gearbox through the cooperation between the protrusion and the groove.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the sound-absorbing ring is made of rubber material.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, rubber materials, due to their high density and good elasticity, can absorb the energy of sound waves, thereby reducing the propagation of noise.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, both ends of the gearbox are fitted with buffer sleeves, and the buffer sleeves are provided with through holes coaxial with the lead screw hole. The gearbox is fixedly installed inside the mounting base through the buffer sleeves.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a buffer sleeve is set to create elastic contact between the gearbox and the mounting base, which can absorb impact and reduce operating noise.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the gearbox is composed of a housing 1 and a housing 2, which are fixedly connected by assembly bolts. Both housing 1 and housing 2 are provided with mounting holes that are threadedly engaged with the assembly bolts.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to install or disassemble the gearbox, so that staff can inspect the parts inside the gearbox.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] 1. In this utility model, by concentrating the internal threads in the middle area of the inner wall of the worm gear, the meshing action of the internal threads and the lead screw is concentrated in the center position, reducing the vibration and noise generated by friction at both ends of the drive block. By setting a blocking ring and a sound-absorbing ring, the noise generated during the sliding process of the drive block is blocked and absorbed, thereby reducing noise.
[0019] 2. In this utility model, a shim is used to separate the worm gear and the wear ring to avoid wear between them. The radial support ring of the wear ring is used to bear the radial force when the drive block rotates, and the axial support ring is used to bear the axial force generated when the drive block rotates and drives the seat forward and backward. This effectively disperses stress, reduces wear, and lowers noise.

[0027] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a drive structure for adjusting a car seat, including a mounting base 1, a reduction gearbox 2, and a lead screw 12. The reduction gearbox 2 contains a drive block 4 and a worm gear 5. The drive block 4 includes a worm wheel 401 meshing with the worm gear 5. The inner wall of the worm wheel 401 is provided with internal threads 403. Both sides of the worm wheel 401 are fixedly connected with retaining rings 402. The outer wall of the reduction gearbox 2 has a lead screw hole 8 for the lead screw 12 to pass through. The lead screw hole 8 is coaxially arranged with the worm wheel 401. The lead screw 12 passes through the lead screw hole 8 and meshes with the internal threads 403 on the inner wall of the worm wheel 401. The thread 403 is threaded, and the inner wall of the blocking ring 402 is fixedly bonded with a sound-absorbing ring 404. There is a gap between the inner wall of the sound-absorbing ring 404 and the outer wall of the lead screw 12. In use, by concentrating the internal thread 403 in the middle area of the inner wall of the worm gear 401, the meshing action of the internal thread 403 and the lead screw 12 is concentrated in the center position, reducing the vibration and noise generated by friction at both ends of the drive block 4. By setting the blocking ring 402 and the sound-absorbing ring 404, the noise generated during the sliding process of the drive block 4 is blocked and absorbed, thereby reducing the noise.
[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, a gasket 6 is fitted onto the outer wall of the blocking ring 402, abutting against the tooth end face of the worm gear 401. A wear-resistant ring 7 is fitted onto the outer wall of the blocking ring 402 on the other side of the gasket 6. The wear-resistant ring 7 consists of a radial support ring 701 and an axial support ring 702. The outer wall of the axial support ring 702 is symmetrically provided with protrusions 703. In use, the gasket 6 separates the worm gear 401 from the wear-resistant ring 7 to prevent wear between them. The radial support ring 701 of the wear-resistant ring 7 is used to bear the radial force when the drive block 4 rotates, and the axial support ring 702 is used to bear the axial force generated when the drive block 4 rotates and drives the seat forward and backward, so that the stress is effectively distributed, reducing wear and noise.
[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the inside of the gearbox 2 is symmetrically provided with grooves 9 on the outside of the lead screw hole 8. The protrusion 703 is adapted to the groove 9. In use, the wear-resistant ring 7 is fixed inside the gearbox 2 by the cooperation between the protrusion 703 and the groove 9.
[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the sound-absorbing ring 404 is made of rubber material. When in use, the rubber material, due to its high density and good elasticity, can absorb the energy of sound waves, thereby reducing the propagation of noise.
[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and 2As shown, buffer sleeves 3 are fitted on both ends of the gearbox 2. The buffer sleeves 3 have through holes coaxial with the lead screw hole 8. The gearbox 2 is fixedly installed inside the mounting base 1 by the buffer sleeves 3. In use, the buffer sleeves 3 make elastic contact between the gearbox 2 and the mounting base 1 to absorb impact and reduce working noise.
[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the gearbox 2 is assembled from a housing 1 201 and a housing 2 202. The housing 1 201 and the housing 2 202 are fixedly connected by assembly bolts 11. Both housing 1 201 and housing 2 202 are provided with mounting holes 10 that are threaded into the assembly bolts 11. During use, it is convenient to install or disassemble the gearbox 2 so that the staff can inspect the parts inside the gearbox 2.
[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using the driving structure for adjusting a car seat according to this application, by arranging the internal thread 403 in the middle area of the inner wall of the worm gear 401, the meshing action of the internal thread 403 and the lead screw 12 is concentrated in the center position, reducing the vibration and noise generated by friction at both ends of the drive block 4. By setting the blocking ring 402 and the sound-absorbing ring 404, the noise generated during the sliding process of the drive block 4 is blocked and absorbed, thereby reducing the noise.
