Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of slow-return structure technology, and in particular to a slow-return structure for an automotive seat pedal. Background Technology
[0002] In the development of slow-return seat pedals with cushioning technology, the slow-return structure of car seat pedals is usually designed to allow the pedal to return to its initial position slowly and smoothly after use, thereby improving the user experience.
[0003] Patent document CN219312590U discloses a slow-return structure for a car seat footrest, including a footrest bracket, a footrest extension plate, and a footrest pedal. The footrest pedal is hinged to the bottom front end of the footrest extension plate via a rotating sheet metal. The bottom front end of the footrest bracket has a limiting sheet metal that pushes the rotating sheet metal to rotate when the footrest extension plate retracts. This utility model has a reasonable design for the car seat leg rest pedal structure. The linkage between the footrest pedal and the footrest extension plate enables the footrest pedal to retract automatically, avoiding manual retraction, making it convenient to use, and improving comfort and user experience.
[0004] However, existing slow-return structures have shortcomings in their functional design. They cannot massage the user's feet, nor can they reliably fix and limit the foot pedal body, resulting in poor comfort and weak structural stability during use. Therefore, a slow-return structure for car seat pedals is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to improve the shortcomings of the existing slow return structure in terms of functional design, which is that it cannot perform massage on the user's feet and it is difficult to reliably fix and limit the foot pedal body, resulting in poor comfort and weak structural stability during use, this application provides a slow return structure for automobile seat pedals.
[0006] The slow-return structure for a car seat pedal provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A slow-return structure for a car seat pedal includes: a pedal body;
[0008] A massage device is located on the top of the foot pedal body and is used to massage the user's feet.
[0009] The slow return device is located on the rear side of the foot pedal body and is used to drive the foot pedal body to perform slow rebound operation.
[0010] A limiting and fixing device is located on the front side of the slow return device and is used to temporarily limit the foot pedal body.
[0011] The fixing device is located on the rear side of the slow return device and is used to fix the entire slow return structure.
[0012] Preferably, the massage device includes four rubber blocks, which are fixedly connected to the four corners of the foot pedal body. Massage rollers are rotatably connected inside each of the four rubber blocks. When the user places their foot on the foot pedal body, the pressure of the foot will cause the massage rollers to rotate inside the rubber blocks. The rotation of the massage rollers can massage the user's feet and relieve foot fatigue. The rubber blocks play a certain role in cushioning and support, while also ensuring the stable rotation of the massage rollers.
[0013] Preferably, the slow return device includes a fixed rod and a connecting rod. The connecting rod is fixedly connected to the rear side of the pedal body. A fixed shaft is fixedly connected inside the connecting rod. Multiple return springs and dampers are installed on the front side of the fixed shaft. The multiple return springs and dampers are all fixedly connected to the rear side of the fixed rod. The pedal body drives the fixed shaft to rotate around the fixed rod through the connecting rod. At this time, the return spring is compressed, and the damper starts to work. When the foot leaves the pedal body, the return spring releases the stored energy, pushing the fixed shaft to rotate in the opposite direction around the fixed rod, thereby driving the pedal body to slowly return to its original position. The damper provides damping force to slow down the release speed of the return spring, making the return of the pedal body more stable and slow.
[0014] Preferably, the limiting and fixing device includes a support plate, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting rod. A locking block is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, and a locking groove is opened at the bottom of the fixing rod. The locking groove is slidably connected to the locking block. Spring plates are symmetrically connected to both sides of the locking block, and buckles are fixedly connected to one side of each of the two spring plates. Four notches are opened on the inner wall of the locking groove, and two buckles are respectively engaged with two of the four notches. When the foot pedal body is pressed down to a certain position, the locking block on the support plate will insert into the locking groove at the bottom of the fixing rod. At the same time, the spring plates will undergo elastic deformation, causing the buckles to engage with the notches on the inner wall of the locking groove, thereby temporarily limiting and fixing the foot pedal body to keep it in the current position. When the foot pedal body needs to return to its original position, the foot pedal body is released, causing the two buckles to disengage from the two notches at the bottom. Then, under the action of the slow return device, the foot pedal body begins to slowly return to its original position.
[0015] Preferably, the fixing device includes two connecting plates, both of which are rotatably connected to the connecting rod. The two connecting plates are symmetrically distributed around the longitudinal central axis of the connecting rod. Multiple fixing bolts are rotatably connected to the front side of each of the two connecting plates, which can fix the two connecting plates to the corresponding positions of the car seat, thereby fixing the entire slow return structure to the car seat and ensuring the stability and reliability of the pedal slow return structure during use.
[0016] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0017] 1. When the foot pedal body is pressed down to a certain position, the locking block on the support plate will insert into the locking groove at the bottom of the fixing rod. At the same time, the spring plate will undergo elastic deformation, causing the buckle to engage in the recess on the inner wall of the locking groove, thereby temporarily limiting and fixing the foot pedal body to keep it in the current position. When the foot pedal body needs to return to its original position, the foot pedal body is released, causing the two buckles to disengage from the two recesses at the bottom. Then, under the action of the slow return device, the foot pedal body begins to slowly return to its original position.
[0018] 2. When the user places their foot on the foot pedal, the pressure of the foot will cause the massage roller to rotate inside the rubber block. The rotation of the massage roller can massage the user's foot and relieve foot fatigue. The rubber block plays a certain role in cushioning and support, while also ensuring the stable rotation of the massage roller. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Example 1
[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 The first embodiment of this application will be described in further detail.
[0026] A slow-return structure for a car seat pedal includes: a pedal body 7;
[0027] A massage device is located on the top of the foot pedal body 7 and is used to massage the user's feet.
[0028] The slow return device is located on the rear side of the foot pedal body 7 and is used to drive the foot pedal body 7 to perform slow rebound operation.
[0029] A limiting and fixing device is located on the front side of the slow return device and is used to temporarily limit the foot pedal body 7.
[0030] The fixing device is located on the rear side of the slow return device and is used to fix the entire slow return structure.
[0031] Reference Figures 2-4 The massage device includes four rubber blocks 8, which are fixedly connected to the four corners of the foot pedal body 7. Massage rollers 6 are rotatably connected inside each of the four rubber blocks 8. When the user places their foot on the foot pedal body 7, the pressure of the foot causes the massage rollers 6 to rotate within the rubber blocks 8. The rotation of the massage rollers 6 massages the user's feet, relieving foot fatigue. The rubber blocks 8 provide cushioning and support, while also ensuring the stable rotation of the massage rollers 6.
[0032] The slow return device includes a fixed rod 1 and a connecting rod 3. The connecting rod 3 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the foot pedal body 7. A fixed shaft 4 is fixedly connected inside the connecting rod 3. Multiple return springs 15 and dampers 16 are installed on the front side of the fixed shaft 4. The multiple return springs 15 and dampers 16 are all fixedly connected to the rear side of the fixed rod 1. The foot pedal body 7 drives the fixed shaft 4 to rotate around the fixed rod 1 through the connecting rod 3. At this time, the return spring 15 is compressed and the damper 16 starts to work. When the foot leaves the foot pedal body 7, the return spring 15 releases the stored energy and pushes the fixed shaft 4 to rotate in the opposite direction around the fixed rod 1, thereby driving the foot pedal body 7 to slowly return to its original position. The damper 16 provides damping force to slow down the release speed of the return spring 15, making the return of the foot pedal body 7 more stable and slow.
[0033] The limiting and fixing device includes a support plate 10, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting rod 3. A locking block 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 10. A locking groove 11 is opened at the bottom of the fixing rod 1, and the locking groove 11 is slidably connected to the locking block 14. Spring plates 13 are symmetrically connected to both sides of the locking block 14. A buckle 12 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two spring plates 13. Four recesses 9 are opened on the inner wall of the locking groove 11. The two buckles 12 are respectively engaged with two of the four recesses 9. When the foot pedal body... When the foot pedal body 7 is pressed down to a certain position, the locking block 14 on the support plate 10 will insert into the locking groove 11 at the bottom of the fixing rod 1. At the same time, the spring plate 13 will undergo elastic deformation, causing the buckle 12 to engage in the recess 9 on the inner wall of the locking groove 11, thereby temporarily limiting and fixing the foot pedal body 7 to keep it in the current position. When the foot pedal body 7 needs to return to its original position, the foot pedal body 7 is released, causing the two buckles 12 to disengage from the two recesses 9 at the bottom. Then, under the action of the slow return device, the foot pedal body 7 begins to slowly return to its original position.
[0034] The fixing device includes two connecting plates 2, both of which are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 3. The two connecting plates 2 are symmetrically distributed with the longitudinal central axis of the connecting rod 3 as the center. Multiple fixing bolts 5 are rotatably connected to the front side of each of the two connecting plates 2, which can fix the two connecting plates 2 to the corresponding positions of the car seat, thereby fixing the entire slow return structure to the car seat and ensuring the stability and reliability of the pedal slow return structure during use.
[0035] The implementation principle of the slow-return structure of a car seat pedal in this embodiment is as follows: When the user places their foot on the pedal body 7, the pressure of the foot causes the massage roller 6 to rotate within the rubber block 8. The rotation of the massage roller 6 massages the user's foot, relieving foot fatigue, while the rubber block 8 provides cushioning and support, and also ensures the stable rotation of the massage roller 6. The pedal body 7 drives the fixed shaft 4 to rotate around the fixed rod 1 via the connecting rod 3. At this time, the return spring 15 is compressed, and the damper 16 starts to work. When the foot leaves the pedal body 7, the return spring 15 releases its stored energy, pushing the fixed shaft 4 to rotate in the opposite direction around the fixed rod 1, thereby causing the pedal body 7 to slowly return to its original position. The damper 16 provides damping force to slow down the release of the return spring 15. The speed makes the return of the foot pedal body 7 more stable and slow. When the foot pedal body 7 is pressed down to a certain position, the locking block 14 on the support plate 10 will insert into the locking groove 11 at the bottom of the fixing rod 1. At the same time, the spring plate 13 will undergo elastic deformation, causing the buckle 12 to engage in the recess 9 on the inner wall of the locking groove 11, thereby temporarily limiting and fixing the foot pedal body 7 to keep it in the current position. When the foot pedal body 7 needs to return to its original position, the foot pedal body 7 is released, causing the two buckles 12 to disengage from the two recesses 9 at the bottom. Then, under the action of the slow return device, the foot pedal body 7 begins to slowly return to its original position.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that: fixed plates are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the foot pedal body 7, and the inside of each fixed plate is rotatably connected to a second massage roller, which massages the side of the user's foot through multiple second massage rollers.
[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
