[0002] It should be apparent that the material described in this section is merely provided as background information for the present invention and may not constitute prior art.
[0003] Generally, a seat used in a vehicle can include a seat frame including a cushion portion that supports the buttocks of a passenger from below, and a seat back that supports the back of the passenger from behind.
[0004] The seat frame of the vehicle seat moves forward and backward or moves up and down on a rail portion, and the seat back can be provided on the seat frame so that its angle can be adjusted so that it can be tilted or raised.
[0005] A vehicle seat needs to be able to simultaneously adjust the height and rotate the seat frame for the convenience of the occupant. However, to date, a seat frame that allows for height adjustment and rotation while also stably meeting load conditions such as a collision has not been developed.

[0105] The reinforcing bead 451 can be disposed on the underside of the rotating plate 320 on a flat surface.
[0106] The left-right length of the front region of the rotating plate 320 on a plane may be longer than the left-right length of the rear region. Furthermore, the left-right ends of the rotating plate 320 in the front region may be disposed above the reinforcing beads 451.
[0107] Since the rotating plate 320 is disposed above the reinforcing bead 451 on a flat surface, when the rotating plate 320 deforms, the rotating plate 320 is caught on the reinforcing bead 451, and the lower part of the rotating plate 320 is supported, thereby preventing the rotating plate 320 from deforming excessively.
[0108] By shortening the length of the rear region of the rotation plate 320 in the left-right direction on a plane, the size of the rotation plate 320 can be reduced, which has the effect of achieving a lighter weight of the part.
[0109] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 14a to 15b, the effect of installing the bracket reinforcement member 450 and the reinforcing bead 451 of the bracket reinforcement member 450 in the embodiment of the present invention will be compared with that of a comparative example.
[0110] 14a and 14b show the results of deformation analysis of the seat frame 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 14a shows the results of deformation analysis of the embodiment at an early stage, and Fig. 14b shows the results of deformation analysis of the embodiment at a later stage.
[0111] Figures 15a and 15b show the results of deformation analysis of the comparative example seat frame 10. Figure 15a shows the results of deformation analysis of the comparative example in the early stage, and Figure 15b shows the results of deformation analysis of the comparative example in the later stage.
[0112] The comparative example differs from the working example in that it does not include components such as the reinforcing bead 451 of the bracket reinforcing member 450, and there are also some differences in the shape of the bracket plate 410.
[0113] In the embodiment of the present invention, the bracket reinforcement member 450 is formed to extend in the front-to-rear direction along the rail 510, and has a reinforcing bead 451 that protrudes upward in front of the bracket reinforcement member 450. The reinforcing bead 451 is arranged below the rotating plate 320 on a plane, so that the rotating plate 320 of the rotating part 300 is stably supported without excessive deformation even in the later stage of deformation.
[0114] On the other hand, in the comparative example, unlike the examples of the present invention, the bracket reinforcement member 450 does not include components such as the reinforcing bead 451, and therefore excessive deformation occurs in the rotating plate 320 of the rotating part 300 in the later stages of deformation.
[0115] FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view of the seat frame 10 of the present invention taken along the line "7".
[0116] The bracket reinforcement members 450 may overlap and reinforce the upper side of the bracket plate 410, and the slide bracket 520 may be coupled to the lower side of the bracket plate 410.
[0117] The slide bracket 520, the bracket plate 410, and the bracket reinforcement member 450 are arranged in this order from bottom to top and may be coupled together using bolts.
[0118] A bracket plate patch 460 is coupled to the front lower end of the bracket plate 410 in the length direction to prevent the bracket plate 410 from being excessively deformed.
[0119] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations are possible within the scope that does not deviate from the technical idea of the present invention as set forth in the claims.
