[0060] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0061] Referring to Fig. 1, the present application provides an in-vehicle bracket component that can be provided in a car and cooperates with a car seat. The in-vehicle bracket component can provide, for example, a leg rest function, a foot rest function, a knee rest function, and a table function, has strong expandability, and can explore different use scenarios. The in-vehicle bracket component has independently adjustable height and angle, has more free adjustment angle, and has more extensive support. The in-vehicle bracket component of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 1, a structural schematic diagram of a first embodiment of the in-vehicle bracket component is shown. Referring to FIG. 2, an exploded structural schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the in-vehicle bracket component is shown. The in-vehicle bracket component will be described below in combination with FIG. 1 and FIG. 2.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the in-vehicle bracket component includes a bracket body 20, a rotating mechanism 30, and a lifting mechanism 40. The rotating mechanism 30 is connected with the bracket body 20 to achieve rotatable adjustment of the bracket body 20. The rotating mechanism 30 is arranged on the lifting mechanism 40 to achieve height adjustment of the bracket body.

[0064] In use, the in-vehicle bracket component can be arranged or moved in front of the seat of the vehicle, and then the height of the lifting mechanism 40 and the arrangement angle of the rotating mechanism 30 are adjusted to meet the use requirements. The in-vehicle bracket component can be used as a leg rest to support the legs of the occupant, as a foot rest for the occupant to step on, as a knee rest to support the knees of the occupant, and as a table. The independent in-vehicle bracket component has strong expandability and can explore different use scenarios.

[0065] Further, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the rotating mechanism 30 can include a rotating shaft 31 hinged with the bracket body 20 and a first driving mechanism 32 drivable to rotate the bracket body 20 relative to the rotating shaft 31.

[0066] The bracket body 20 is driven by the first driving mechanism 32 to rotate relative to the rotating shaft 31, so as to adjust the arrangement angle of the bracket body 30 to meet the use requirements.

[0067] The first driving mechanism 32 can be rotatably connected with the rotating shaft 31 and the bracket body 20, respectively. The first driving mechanism 32 can be configured to change the distance between the connection part of the first driving mechanism 32 and the rotating shaft 31 and the connection part of the first driving mechanism 32 and the bracket body 20, so as to realize the rotation of the bracket body 20 relative to the rotating shaft 31. The connection part of the first driving mechanism 32 and the rotating shaft 31 (or the rotation axis of the first driving mechanism 32 relative to the rotating shaft 31) is radially offset relative to the axis of the rotating shaft 31 itself (or the rotation axis of the bracket body 20 relative to the rotating shaft 31). Here, “radial” can be understood as the radial direction with the rotating shaft 31 as the reference, which is perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 31.

[0068] Further, in the illustrated example, the first driving mechanism 32 can include a first screw rod 321 rotatably connected with one of the rotating shaft 31 and the bracket body 20, and a first motor 322 hinged with the other one of the rotating shaft 31 and the bracket body 20. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the first motor 322 is connected with the bracket body 20, and the first screw rod 321 is connected with the rotating shaft 31. In FIGS. 3 and 4, the hinged part of the first motor 322 with the bracket body 20 is indicated by reference numeral 323. In other examples, the first motor 322 can be connected with the rotating shaft 31, and the first screw rod 321 can be connected with the bracket body 20. The first motor 322 and the first screw rod 321 can be relatively moved to drive the bracket body 20 to rotate relative to the rotating shaft 31.

[0069] The first driving mechanism 32 can be configured as a screw rod motor, in which the screw rod is fixed, and the motor is moved along the screw rod.

[0070] Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the rotating mechanism 30 can further include a support arm 33 fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 31, and one of the first screw rod 321 and the first motor 322 (here, the first screw rod 321) is hinged with the support arm 33. The first motor 322 and the first screw rod 321 can be connected through a worm gear.

[0071] As shown in FIG. 5, the first motor 322, the first screw rod 321, the support arm 33, and the corresponding part of the bracket body 20 form a triangle. The length of the side of the triangle in which the first motor 322 and the first screw rod 321 are located can be adjusted. One end of the first screw rod 321 is hinged with the support arm 33, and the other end is suspended. The first motor 322 is sleeved on the first screw rod 321, and the other end of the first motor 322 is hinged with the front part of the bracket body 20 (or the first screw rod 321 is hinged with the front part of the bracket body 20, and the end of the first motor 322 is hinged with the support arm 33). When the first motor 322 moves to the right (or downward) along the first screw rod 321 as shown in FIG. 5, the length of the side in which the first motor 322 and the first screw rod 321 are located becomes shorter. The rotating shaft 31 can be fixedly connected at the top of the lifting mechanism 40, the rotating shaft 31 is fixed, and the support arm 33 is also fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 31 (such as by welding). Here, the first screw rod 321 rotates counterclockwise through the hinged part with the support arm 33, and the first motor 322 rotates relative to the bracket body 20 through the hinged part with the front part of the bracket body 20, so as to pull the bracket body 20 to rotate counterclockwise relative to the rotating shaft. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the rear support 22 of the bracket body 20 rotates upward. Conversely, the reverse adjustment of the first motor 322 can make the rear support 22 of the bracket body 20 rotate downward.

[0072] It is appreciated that the first driving mechanism 32 can have various configurations. For example, the first driving mechanism 32 can be any mechanism capable of achieving linear motion, i.e., linear motion between the connection part of the first driving mechanism 32 and the rotating shaft 31 and the connection part of the first driving mechanism 32 and the bracket body 20. Alternatively to the example shown, the first driving mechanism can be configured, for example, as a telescopic cylinder (preferably pneumatic or hydraulic) or a linear motor, etc.

[0073] Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the bracket body 20 can include a front support 21, a rear support 22, a left support 23, and a right support 24. The rear support 22 can be in a U shape, and the rear support 22 can be rigidly connected with the left support 23 and the right support 24 by fasteners such as bolts, self-tapping screws, etc. The left support 23 and the right support 24 can also be rigidly connected with the front support 21 by fasteners such as bolts, self-tapping screws, etc. The front support 21 is hinged with the first motor 322 or the first lead screw 321. The left support 23 and the right support 24 are provided with extension supports 231, 241 extending towards the rear support 22 at the end connected with the front support 21, the extension supports 231, 241 are oppositely arranged and provided with through holes, the extension supports 231, 241 are sleeved on the rotating shaft 31 through the through holes, and the extension supports 231, 241 can rotate around the rotating shaft 31. The front support 21 is partially disposed between the extension supports 231, 241 and can be rigidly connected with the extension supports 231, 241 by fasteners such as bolts, self-tapping screws, etc. The outer contour of the bracket body 20 formed by the connection of the front support 21, the rear support 22, the left support 23, and the right support 24 can be substantially rectangular or square, and the extension supports 231, 241 are disposed at the middle part of the bracket body 20.

[0074] The rotating shaft 31 can be sleeved with a bushing 34, and the bracket body 20 can be sleeved with two bushings 34, the extension supports 231, 241 are sleeved on the corresponding bushings 34 through the through holes, and the extension supports 231, 241 can rotate relative to the bushings 34. The two ends of the rotating shaft 31 can be provided with a square structure with holes for fixed connection with the top of the lifting mechanism 40, such as fixed connection by fasteners such as bolts, self-tapping screws, etc.

[0075] In one specific embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the lifting mechanism 40 can include a lifting base 41, a support 42, and a second driving mechanism 43. The support 42 can be slidably disposed on the base 41, and the support 42 can be adjusted to move up and down relative to the base 41. The second driving mechanism 43 is installed on the base 41, and the second driving mechanism 43 is drivingly connected with the support 42, and the second driving mechanism 43 can drive the support 42 to move up and down relative to the base 41 to adjust the support height of the lifting mechanism 40.

[0076] The two ends of the rotating shaft 31 can be fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 42, so that the bracket 42 drives the cradle body 20 to lift or drop when sliding relative to the base 41.

[0077] In the first embodiment, the second driving mechanism 43 can include a second screw rod 431 and a second motor 432. The second screw rod 431 can be fixedly arranged on the base 41, and the second motor 432 can be connected to the second screw rod 431 through a worm gear, for example, and the second motor 432 is fixedly connected to the bracket 42. As shown in FIG. 10, the second motor 432 can move up and down along the second screw rod 431, thereby driving the bracket 42 to move up and down together, achieving the sliding of the bracket 42 relative to the base 41.

[0078] The second driving mechanism 43 is a screw rod motor, and the function of the screw rod motor is that the screw rod is stationary, and the motor moves along the screw rod for adjustment.

[0079] Further, the second screw rod 431 can be arranged substantially vertically, and the second motor 432 drives the bracket 42 to move up and down along the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the height of the bracket 42 and achieving the adjustment of the installation height of the rotating mechanism 30.

[0080] Still further, the bracket 42 can include oppositely arranged left and right lifting frames 422 and 421, and the bottom of each of the left and right lifting frames 422 and 421 can be provided with a second motor mounting portion for mounting the second motor 432. The top of each of the left and right lifting frames 422 and 421 can be provided with a rotating shaft mounting portion for mounting the rotating shaft 31.

[0081] Still further, the second screw rod 431 can be provided with two. The two second screw rods 431 can be arranged near the left and right lifting frames 422 and 421, respectively.

[0082] Still further, as shown in FIGS. 8, 9 and 10, the lifting mechanism 40 can further include a third sliding rail 44, which includes a third fixed rail 441 and a third movable rail 442 sliding relative to the third fixed rail 441. The base 41 can be fixedly connected to the third fixed rail 441, and the bracket 42 can be fixedly connected to the third movable rail 442. The third sliding rail 44 plays a guiding role in the up and down movement of the bracket 42, and the third sliding rail 44 also increases the vertical strength of the bracket 42. The third sliding rail 44 is a double sliding rail arranged on the left and right sides of the base 41.

[0083] The base 41 can include a bottom plate 411 and a pair of side plates 412 erected on the bottom plate 411, and the third fixed rails 441 can be connected to the inner sides of the pair of side plates 412 respectively and be arranged in an inclined manner towards the front or the back of the base 41. The third movable rails 442 can be arranged on the outer sides of the left lifting frame 422 and the right lifting frame 421 respectively, so that the third sliding rails 44 can be located between the left lifting frame 422 and the corresponding side plate 412 and between the right lifting frame 421 and the corresponding side plate 412 respectively. The bottom plate 411 can be provided with a clearance groove 4111 corresponding to the third movable rails 442, so that part of the third movable rails 442 is placed in the clearance groove 4111 when the third movable rails 442 move to the bottom of the third fixed rails 441.

[0084] The third fixed rails 441 can be arranged in an inclined manner, realizing the function of the lifting mechanism 40 lifting in an inclined manner. In use, the lifting mechanism 40 can be lifted in an inclined manner towards the direction close to the car seat or the direction away from the car seat. Further, to match the inclined arrangement of the third fixed rails 441, the side plates 412 can also be arranged in an inclined manner. Correspondingly, the second lead screw 431, the left lifting frame 422 and the right lifting frame 421 can also be arranged in an inclined manner.

[0085] In the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 13-15, the second driving mechanism 43 can include a pair of forked arm assemblies 433 connected between the base 41 and the support 42, a third motor 434, and a third lead screw 435 connected with the third motor 434, for example, through a worm gear. One of the third motor 434 and the third lead screw 435 can be hinged with the base 41, and the other one of the third motor 434 and the third lead screw 435 can be hinged with the pair of forked arm assemblies 433. The third lead screw 435 and the third motor 434 can move relatively to drive the pair of forked arm assemblies 433 to extend or fold so that the support 42 slides relative to the base 41, in particular, slides up and down. The hinging of one of the third motor 434 and the third lead screw 435 with the pair of forked arm assemblies 433 means the hinging with the corresponding two forked arms of the pair of forked arm assemblies 443, realizing that the third motor 434 and the third lead screw 435 can drive the pair of forked arm assemblies 433 to extend or fold synchronously. Here, the hinging of the third motor 434 and the third lead screw 435 with the base 41 and the forked arm assemblies 433 respectively can advantageously reduce the requirements for the machining precision and assembly precision of each component. This structural design has good tolerance adaptability and can maintain stable and reliable cooperation between each component within the actual manufacturing tolerance range.

[0086] Further, the pair of fork arm assemblies 443 can include two fork arm assemblies symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the base 41. By arranging the fork arm assemblies on the left and right sides of the base 41 respectively, the stability of the lifting mechanism 40 can be improved, so that the lifting mechanism 40 has stronger carrying capacity. Here, each fork arm assembly 443 can include at least one fork arm 4331, which can include a top end fixed point 4332 hinged to the bracket 42 and a top end moving point 4333 slidably arranged relative to the bracket 42, and a bottom end fixed point 4335 hinged to the base 41 and a bottom end moving point 4334 slidably arranged relative to the base 41.

[0087] One of the third motor 434 and the third screw rod 435 can be hinged to the top end moving point 4333 or the bottom end moving point 4334 in the pair of fork arm assemblies 433, and then move with the top end moving point 4333 or the bottom end moving point 4334 (relative to the top end fixed point 4332 or the bottom end fixed point 4335), so as to realize the extension or folding of the fork arm assembly 433.

[0088] Further, each fork arm 4331 includes a pair of fork rods hinged in the middle, and the number of fork arms 4331 arranged can be set according to the height adjustment requirements of the in-vehicle bracket components. The structure shown in FIG. 13 selects two fork arms 4331, and the ends of the corresponding fork rods on the adjacent fork arms 4331 are hinged. At this time, the top end moving point 4333 is one end of the top of the upper fork arm 4331, the top end fixed point 4332 is the other end of the top of the upper fork arm 4331, the bottom end moving point 4334 is one end of the bottom of the lower fork arm 4331, and the bottom end fixed point 4335 is the other end of the bottom of the lower fork arm 4331.

[0089] Driving the bracket 42 to move up and down by using the fork arm 4331 has the advantages of large lifting stroke and small folding size.

[0090] Further, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the top end moving point 4333 can be arranged on the bracket 42 by the first slide rail 437 in the front-rear direction, and the bottom end moving point 4334 can be arranged on the base 41 by the second slide rail 436 in the front-rear direction. Here, the "front-rear direction" can be understood as the direction in which the top end moving point 4333 or the bottom end moving point 4334 approaches or moves away from the corresponding top end fixed point 4332 or bottom end fixed point 4335. The second slide rail 436 can include a second fixed rail and a second moving rail sliding relative to the second fixed rail, and the two second moving rails can be connected by a connecting rod 45, and the third motor 434 or the second screw rod 435 is hinged to the connecting rod 45. The connecting arm 451 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the connecting rod 45, and the third motor 434 or the second screw rod 435 can be hinged to the connecting arm 451.
