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.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-11As shown, a seat chassis motion mechanism includes a pitch linkage mechanism, which comprises a backrest assembly 1, a threaded bolt 2, a first step pin 4, a pitch guide rail 6, a first spring 7, a second spring 12, a lower seat chassis frame 13, an upper seat chassis frame 20, and a seat cushion assembly 21. The backrest assembly 1 is connected to the upper seat chassis frame 20 via the threaded bolt 2, and the backrest assembly 1 is connected to the lower seat chassis frame 13 via the first step pin 4. The pitch guide rail 6 is fixedly connected to the lower seat chassis frame 13, and the upper seat chassis frame 20 is connected to the pitch guide rail 6 via the first step pin 4. The two ends of the second spring 12 are respectively connected to the pitch guide rail 6 and the upper seat chassis frame 20. A sliding unlock handle 17 is provided on the upper seat chassis frame 20, and a third spring 16 and a spring pin 14 are fixedly installed on the sliding unlock handle 17. The sliding unlock handle 17 is connected to the upper seat chassis frame 20 via the second step pin 15.

[0033] Specifically, the spring pin 14 passes through the upper frame 20 of the seat chassis, the seat cushion sliding guide rail 19, and the seat sliding groove 18. The seat cushion assembly 21 is equipped with a pitch unlock handle 10 and a pitch unlock handle mounting seat 11. The pitch unlock handle 10 and the pitch unlock handle mounting seat 11 are connected by a second step pin 15. The pitch unlock handle 10 is limited and locked by a positioning bead 22 on the pitch unlock handle mounting seat 11. The upper frame 20 of the seat chassis is equipped with a pitch locking pin 8 and a pitch unlock pin mounting seat 5. The pitch locking pin 8 and the pitch unlock pin mounting seat 5 are connected by a first spring 7 and a pin. One end of the pitch locking pin 8 is connected to a pitch unlock connecting rod 9, and the pitch unlock connecting rod 9 is connected to the pitch unlock handle 10 by a pin. One side of the seat cushion assembly 21 is equipped with a seat cushion base decoration 3, which is connected to the seat cushion assembly 21 by screws.

[0034] Specifically, the backrest assembly 1 has an arc-shaped cross-section, and its surface is made of a non-slip material. The seat cushion base decoration 3 is made of a lightweight material and has several threaded holes. The number of seat sliding grooves 18 and seat cushion sliding guides 19 corresponds, and they are symmetrically designed. The seat cushion assembly 21 is inclined, with a lower section near the backrest assembly 1 and a higher section away from it.

[0035] During operation, the upper frame 20 of the seat chassis slides along the fixed direction of the pitch guide rail 6, thereby achieving the linkage function of the backrest assembly 1 tilting backward and the seat cushion assembly 21 moving forward. During the forward movement of the upper frame 20 of the seat chassis, the second spring 12 is compressed to store energy, providing energy for the backrest assembly 1 to return to its original position. The extension of the bolt is adjusted to compress and store energy for the first spring 7, thus accommodating different body weights. The spring pin 14 passes through the upper frame 20 of the seat chassis, the seat cushion sliding guide rail 19, and the seat sliding groove 18, thereby locking the seat cushion sliding guide rail 19 with the seat sliding guide groove. By pressing the pitch unlocking handle 10, the positioning bead 22 is compressed and disengaged from the limiting groove. Under the action of the compressed first spring 7, the pitch unlocking connecting rod 9 slides, causing the pitch locking pin 8 to enter the locking hole of the upper frame 20 of the seat chassis, thus locking the pitch unlocking mechanism.

[0036] Pulling up the pitch unlocking handle 10 causes the pitch unlocking connecting rod 9 to slide, causing the pitch locking pin 8 to disengage from the locking hole of the upper frame 20 of the seat chassis. During the disengagement of the pitch locking pin 8, the first spring 7 is compressed to store energy. As the pitch unlocking handle 10 is lifted, the positioning bead 22 is compressed and enters the limiting groove of the pitch unlocking handle 10, thus completing the unlocking of the pitch unlocking mechanism. Lifting the sliding unlocking handle 17 rotates it around the second step pin 15 on the upper frame 20 of the seat chassis, causing the spring pin 14 to disengage from the seat sliding groove 18, thus completing the unlocking of the seat cushion sliding guide rail 19 from the seat sliding groove 18.

[0037] The structure designed in this application enables the seat chassis to link the backrest assembly 1 and the seat cushion assembly 21. It also incorporates unlocking and locking mechanisms, as well as the forward and backward sliding function of the seat cushion assembly 21, allowing different individuals to find their comfortable seating position. The compression characteristics of the first spring 7 provide support for the tilting linkage mechanism; when the backrest assembly 1 is pressed backward by a person, the first spring 7 stores energy, providing support for the return of the person and the backrest assembly 1 to its original position; adjusting the extension of the bolt compresses and stores energy in the second spring 12, thus adapting to different body weights. Simultaneously utilizing the compression characteristics of the third spring 16 and the elasticity of the spring pin 14, the sliding unlocking handle 17 is raised and rotated around the second step pin 15 on the upper frame 20 of the seat chassis. The third spring 16 is compressed and stores energy, causing the third spring pin 14 to disengage from the seat sliding groove 18, thus unlocking the seat cushion sliding guide rail 19. Releasing the sliding unlocking handle 17, under the action of the third spring 16, causes the sliding unlocking handle 17 to rotate around the second step pin 15 on the upper frame 20 of the seat chassis, causing the spring pin 14 to enter the seat sliding groove 18, thus locking the seat cushion guide rail. The compression characteristics of the third spring 16 are also utilized. Pulling up the pitch unlocking handle 10 causes the pitch unlocking connecting rod 9 to slide, causing the pitch locking pin 8 to disengage from the locking hole of the upper frame 20 of the seat chassis. During the disengagement of the pitch locking pin 8, the first spring 7 is compressed and stores energy. During the lifting of the pitch unlocking handle 10, the positioning bead 22 is compressed and enters the limiting groove of the pitch unlocking handle 10, thus unlocking the pitch unlocking mechanism.

[0038] Working principle: During the seat chassis upper frame 20 movement, it slides along the fixed direction of the pitch guide rail 6, thereby realizing the linkage function of the backrest assembly 1 tilting backward and the seat cushion assembly 21 moving forward. During the forward movement of the seat chassis upper frame 20, the second spring 12 is compressed to store energy, providing energy for the backrest assembly 1 to return to its original position. The extension of the bolt is adjusted to compress and store energy for the first spring 7, thus adapting to different body weights. The spring pin 14 passes through the seat chassis upper frame 20, the seat cushion sliding guide rail 19, and the seat sliding groove 18, thereby locking the seat cushion sliding guide rail 19 with the seat sliding guide groove. By pressing the pitch unlock handle 10, the positioning bead 22 is compressed and disengaged from the limiting groove. Under the action of the compressed first spring 7, the pitch unlock connecting rod 9 slides, causing the pitch lock pin 8 to enter the lock hole of the seat chassis upper frame 20, thus locking the pitch unlock mechanism.
