Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to a shielding structure for a seat cushion folding lock. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of automotive technology, the rear seats of MPV and SUV models need to be able to fold flat to create a double bed configuration and align the luggage compartment with the vehicle body. When the seats are in normal use, the locking mechanism at the bottom of the seat cushion is connected to the vehicle body; when the seats are folded back, the locking mechanism retracts into the seat cushion. However, existing seat folding mechanisms often have exposed frames after folding, which not only affects aesthetics but may also cause damage under pressure.
[0003] Therefore, a structure is needed that can effectively conceal the locking mechanism while remaining flush with the seat cushion after the seat is folded down, ensuring a flat and seamless overall surface. Utility Model Content
