Abstract

Electric Rotation and Sliding Mechanism for a Child Safety Seat. The invention relates to an electric rotation and sliding mechanism for a child safety seat, comprising a first worm gear and a gear disc. The first worm gear is located inside the seat base (1) and engages with the gear disc. The first worm gear drives the rotation of the gear disc, allowing infinite adjustment of the rotation angle, and locks the mechanism once the adjustment is complete. The gear disc is inclined relative to the first worm gear. Thanks to this inclined design, there is no mutual compressive pressure between the gear disc and the first worm gear, thus reducing the engagement pressure at the connection point and, consequently, minimizing wear.
