Abstract

This utility model discloses an angle-adjustable seat cushion frame, relating to the field of automotive seat technology. It includes a base and a seat frame. The rear of the seat frame is connected to the base via a slider through a groove. A crank is connected to the front of the seat frame, with the other end of the crank connected to the base. A drive unit connects to both the base and the seat frame to drive the seat frame to move. Compared to a five-bar linkage structure, this angle-adjustable seat cushion frame and seat have fewer parts, lower space occupancy, and a single motor drives multi-degree-of-freedom motion, achieving seat cushion angle adjustment, improving passenger comfort, reducing fatigue, and offering lower cost, smaller space occupation, and simpler layout. It also improves the overall coordination of seat adjustment. The crank-slider mechanism converts the linear motion of the motor into the composite motion of the seat cushion, simplifying the structure while achieving a zero-gravity sitting posture.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive seat technology, and in particular to an angle-adjustable seat cushion frame and seat. Background Technology

[0002] During the development of seats, mainstream five-link zero-gravity seats have limitations such as high price, complex structure, and large space occupation. Moreover, the complex linkage mechanism leads to a high failure rate, and the single rotation of the seat cushion cannot effectively support the thighs.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design an angle-adjustable seat frame and seat to improve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this utility model provides an angle-adjustable seat cushion frame and seat, which is low in cost, occupies little space, has a simple layout, and improves the seating comfort.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An angle-adjustable seat frame includes a base and a seat frame. The rear of the seat frame is connected to the base via a slider and a crank is connected to the front of the seat frame. The other end of the crank is connected to the base, and the two ends of the drive unit are connected to the base and the seat frame respectively to drive the seat frame to move.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the drive unit is a push rod motor.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the sliding grooves are symmetrically arranged at the rear of the base.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the drive unit is located in the middle of the base and the frame.

[0010] This utility model also proposes a seat, including the angle-adjustable seat cushion frame as described above.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0012] (1) The angle-adjustable seat frame and seat of this utility model have fewer parts and lower space occupancy compared to the five-link structure. A single motor drives multi-degree-of-freedom motion to realize the seat angle adjustment function, improve the comfort of human riding and reduce human fatigue.

[0013] (2) The present invention provides an angle-adjustable seat frame and seat, which is low in cost, occupies little space, has a simple layout, and improves the overall coordination of seat adjustment. The crank-slider mechanism converts the linear motion of the motor into the composite motion of the seat (forward lifting + backward sliding), which simplifies the structure and achieves zero-gravity sitting posture.
