Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of headrest support technology, and in particular to a headrest support assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the manufacturing process for headrest support assemblies is relatively mature. Their structural design effectively supports the headrest, meets the needs of different passengers, and to a certain extent, ensures compatibility with car seats. In actual production, to reduce the coefficient of friction between the moving parts of the headrest support assembly and improve its service life and performance stability, lubricating grease is typically applied.
[0003] However, the current method of lubricating headrest bracket assemblies is to place lubricating grease before the headrest bracket assembly is installed. This method is difficult to ensure the uniform distribution and full coverage of grease during subsequent installation. Once the installation is completed, due to the structural limitations of the headrest bracket assembly and the special location of the assembly, it is extremely inconvenient to lubricate it again. In order to solve this technical problem, a new headrest bracket assembly is proposed. Utility Model Content

The sealing member is movably disposed in the oil injection nozzle. The elastic member is disposed between the inner wall of the oil injection nozzle and the sealing member, so that the sealing member can naturally close the oil injection nozzle.
[0009] A grease gun, located at the bottom of the inner side of the bolster, is used to store grease;
[0010] And an oil-pressing structure connected to the grease gun, which allows the lubricating grease in the grease gun to overflow through multiple oil outlet structures, thereby reducing the relative sliding resistance between the pillow frame and the headrest assembly.
[0011] Furthermore, the oil injection nozzle is provided with an end facing the inner cavity of the bolster rod, and tapered holes are opened through both ends of the end. The sealing member fits into the tapered hole surface of the end to seal the end.
[0012] Furthermore, the sealing element is a spherical steel ball, the elastic element is a spring, one end of the spring is disposed outside the spherical steel ball, and pushes the spherical surface of the spherical steel ball to fit against the tapered hole wall of the end.
[0013] Furthermore, the diameter of the spherical steel ball is smaller than the inner diameter of the oil injection nozzle, a fixing plate is provided on the inner wall of the oil injection nozzle, one end of the spring is connected to the fixing plate, and a through hole for grease to pass through is provided in the middle of the fixing plate.
[0014] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the bolster rod is provided with multiple fillers, and adjacent fillers form an oil reservoir in the inner cavity of the bolster rod. The oil reservoir corresponds to the position of the oil injection nozzle, and the center of the filler has a hole for the flow of lubricating grease.

[0017] Furthermore, the sealing element includes a sealing bearing and a cover plate, the cover plate being connected to the opening end of the grease gun, and the sealing bearing being connected to the cover plate and the drive rod.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides a headrest support assembly, including a headrest rod frame 1, a headrest assembly 3, multiple oil outlet structures, a grease gun 11, and an oil pressurization structure.
[0034] The pillow rod frame 1 includes two pillow rods 101 and a connecting rod 2. The two ends of the connecting rod 2 are connected to the two pillow rods 101 respectively. Both pillow rods 101 have an inner cavity with an opening at the bottom. The outer wall of the pillow rod 101 is provided with multiple oil outlet holes 103. The multiple oil outlet holes 103 are connected to the inner cavity to facilitate the injection and distribution of grease.
[0035] Multiple oil outlet holes 103 are equidistantly distributed in a circle on the bolster rod 101, and oil outlet holes 103 are provided at two height positions in the vertical direction to improve the uniformity of lubricating grease distribution.
[0036] The headrest assembly 3 has a bushing 4 inside, which is slidably connected to the pillow frame 1 and can slide up and down along the pillow frame 1 to realize the headrest height adjustment function.
[0037] Furthermore, the inner wall of the bushing 4 is provided with a protrusion 401, and the bushing 4 contacts the pillow rod 101 through the protrusion 401. That is to say, there is a gap between the inner wall of the bushing 4 and the outer wall of the pillow rod 101, so that the overflowing lubricating grease can slide to form a film and avoid the lubricating grease from accumulating on the bushing 4.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, multiple oil outlet structures are disposed in the inner cavity of the pillow rod 101 and are connected to the oil outlet hole 103. Each oil outlet structure includes an oil injection nozzle 5, a sealing member 7, and an elastic member 8. The oil injection nozzle 5 is connected to the oil outlet hole 103. The sealing member 7 is movably disposed in the oil injection nozzle 5. The elastic member 8 is disposed between the inner wall of the oil injection nozzle 5 and the sealing member 7, so that the sealing member 7 can naturally seal the oil injection nozzle 5 to prevent grease from flowing out when not in operation.
[0039] Specifically, an end cap 9 is provided on one end of the oil injection nozzle 5 facing the inner cavity of the bolster rod 101. Conical holes are opened through both ends of the end cap 9. The sealing element 7 is a spherical steel ball, and the elastic element 8 is a spring. One end of the spring is located outside the spherical steel ball and pushes the spherical surface of the spherical steel ball to fit against the wall of the conical hole of the end cap 9 to achieve a seal on the oil injection nozzle 5.
[0040] In addition, the diameter of the spherical steel ball is smaller than the inner diameter of the grease nipple 5, so that when the spherical steel ball is far away from the opening of the end 9, it can provide space for the lubricating grease to move. The inner wall of the grease nipple 5 is provided with a fixing plate 6, one end of the spring is connected to the fixing plate 6, and the middle of the fixing plate 6 has a through hole for the grease to pass through.
[0041] When the hydraulic pressurization structure is working, the grease pressure overcomes the spring force, pushing the spherical steel ball to move, allowing the grease to enter the grease nozzle 5 and flow out through the oil outlet 103; when the hydraulic pressurization structure stops working, the spring pushes the spherical steel ball to reset, resealing the grease nozzle 5.
[0042] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the inner cavity of the pillow rod 101 is provided with a plurality of fillers 10, and adjacent fillers 10 form an oil storage chamber in the inner cavity of the pillow rod 101. The oil storage chamber corresponds to the position of the oil injection nozzle 5, and the middle of the filler 10 has a hole for the flow of lubricating grease.
[0043] In this embodiment, the grease gun 11 is located at the bottom of the inner side of the bolster 101 and is used to store grease. The oil pressing structure includes a drive rod 12, an oil pressing plate 14, and a seal.
[0044] Please see Figure 5In an optional embodiment, the drive rod 12 is rotatably mounted on the bottom end of the inner cavity of the bolster rod 101 via a support base, and the drive rod 12 extends into the grease gun 11. The pressure plate 14 is fitted against the inner wall of the grease gun 11 and threadedly connected to the drive rod 12, and a seal is connected to the drive rod 12 and the grease gun 11.
[0045] In the specific implementation process, by rotating the drive rod 12, the pressure plate 14 slides inside the grease gun 11, squeezing the lubricating grease from the outlet of the grease gun 11 into the pores of the filler 10.
[0046] One end of the pressure plate 14 is connected to a flexible pad 15, which slides against the inner wall of the grease gun 11 to ensure the sealing of the oil pressing process.
[0047] In an optional embodiment, the seal includes a sealing bearing 13 and a cover plate 17, the cover plate 17 being connected to the open end of the grease gun 11, and the sealing bearing 13 being connected to the cover plate 17 and the drive rod 12 to prevent grease from leaking from the connection between the drive rod 12 and the grease gun 11.
[0048] To prevent the pressure plate 14 from rotating with the drive rod 12, a guide strip 16 is provided on the inner wall of the grease gun 11. The pressure plate 14 is slidably connected to the guide strip 16 to ensure that the pressure plate 14 remains stable during sliding and does not deviate.
[0049] The headrest assembly 3 is equipped with multiple felts 18. The felts 18 can absorb excess oil and are evenly distributed on the sliding surfaces of the headrest assembly 3 and the pillow frame 1, further reducing sliding resistance and playing a certain role in dust prevention, reducing the intrusion of external impurities.
[0050] Meanwhile, in order to facilitate the control of the rotation of the drive rod 12, a rubber plug 102 is used to block the lower opening of the bolster rod 101.
[0051] In practical use, when the headrest bracket assembly needs to be lubricated after installation, the rubber plug 102 at the lower end of the headrest rod 101 is removed, and the drive rod 12 is rotated by an external device. Under the rotation of the drive rod 12, the oil pressure plate 14 moves and squeezes the grease in the grease gun 11 through the threaded engagement, so that the grease in the grease gun 11 is squeezed out and further enters the pores of the filler 10. Then it gathers in the oil storage chamber of the headrest rod 101 cavity. Under the continuous increase of pressure, the grease overcomes the elastic force of the elastic element 8 in the grease injection nozzle 5, and pushes the sealing element 7 away from the end 9 position. Thus, the grease flows through the grease injection nozzle 5 and the oil outlet 103 to the sliding surface of the headrest assembly 3 and the headrest rod 1, forming a lubricating film and reducing sliding resistance. The felt 18 absorbs the excess grease, making the lubrication more uniform and lasting. Then, under the action of the elastic element 8, the end 9 is closed again.

It should be understood that these are relative concepts and can vary depending on different methods of use and placement; the use of these directional terms should not limit the scope of protection claimed in this application.
