Technical field
The present invention relates to the angle regulator of seat adjustment technical field, particularly seat.The invention still further relates to the seat that is provided with described adjusting device.
Background technology
In the prior art, device for regulating chair angle mainly is divided into two kinds: a kind of is the handle type adjusting device of ratchet and pawl arrangement principle, and another kind is the gear type adjusting device of Planetary Gear Transmission principle.
For the regulator for chair back angle of click principle, must be provided with the motion fit clearance between slide block (or ratchet) and the chute, the smooth and easy slip of guarantee slide block, take angular adjusting device for automobile seat backrest as example, the rolling momentum increased before and after the existence in gap can cause backrest, can produce obvious angle and change, and seat comfort reduces, in the Vehicle Driving Cycle process even can produce noise, cause client or end user's experience sense relatively poor.
Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the structural representation of a kind of click regulator for chair back angle in the prior art.
As shown in the figure, Granted publication number discloses a kind of device for regulating chair angle for the utility model patent specification of CN 201026016Y, in release and locking process, its slide block 1 ' must translation in the chute of coulisse 2 ', to realize engagement and the disengagement of slide block tooth and hook tooth, reach the purpose of angular adjustment, slide block 1 ' and chute all arrange certain gap in a lateral direction.When the device for regulating chair angle locking, this gap still exists, and will be exaggerated when this gap is reacted to the backrest top, can produce obvious angle and change or noise, and fit clearance is larger, the backrest of generation rock or noise larger.
Be the fit clearance of control slide block and chute, present major control method is to improve the part accuracy of manufacture, to reduce fit clearance, rocks thereby reduce backrest, and doing like this to increase manufacturing cost, and can not eliminate the gap fully.In addition, usually adopt welding manner to connect between the core component of such angle regulator and the gusset piece, solder joint generally designs at the chute back side, behind assemble welding, because the impact of welding deformation, causes slide block to slide and have some setbacks, or slide block is by the chute folder phenomenon of waiting indefinitely, finally cause adjusting device slip teeth, release resistance large, can't release and can't locking etc. the serious consequence of afunction.
Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the structural representation of another kind of click regulator for chair back angle in the prior art.

As shown in the figure, in a kind of specific embodiment, device for regulating chair angle provided by the invention is the ratchet wheel pawl type structure, mainly be comprised of parts such as coulisse 1, ratchet 2, slide block 3, wedge 4, release cams 5, coulisse 1 is disc substantially, and ratchet 2 is sleeved in the inner ring of coulisse 1, the quantity of slide block 3 is two, in the upper and lower vertical chute that is symmetrically arranged in coulisse 1, the quantity of wedge 4 also is two, in the left and right horizontal concrete chute that is symmetrically arranged in coulisse 1.
Be reserved with the gap between slide block 3 and the chute, after the locking process is finished, the existence in this gap is harmful to stability and comfortableness, for addressing this problem, the present invention further strengthens slide block 3 and the gap of chute, and the elimination clearance mechanism of being controlled by release cam 5 is set therein, to reach the purpose of eliminating the gap.
The critical piece of eliminating clearance mechanism is voussoir 6 and flexible member 7, voussoir 6 is arranged in the gap of slide block 3 and its chute, this gap is wedge shape, consisted of by the straight flange of slide block 3 and the hypotenuse of chute, voussoir 6 can slide between slide block 3 and chute, there are the angle of certain angle in the first side 6-1 that voussoir 6 matches with slide block 3 and chute and the second side 6-2, angle inwardly and angle less than 15 °, voussoir 6 is provided with boss 6-3.
Flexible member 7(is shell fragment for example) an end embed in the tangential opening on the chute wall, the other end embeds in the groove relative with opening on the slide block 3, voussoir 6 can radially motion in the gap under the effect of flexible member 7.
Release cam 5 is provided with curved surface 5-1, curved surface 5-1 is positioned at the outer rim place of release cam 5 cut-out circular arcs, its height raises gradually first take outer rim as benchmark and reduces gradually, and meet to the gradient of boss 6-3 greater than the gradient of boss dorsad, in the lock position, first paragraph curved surface cardinal principle is perpendicular to the line in the center of circle and the mechanism center of circle of boss 6-3, and keep a determining deviation with boss 6-3, at unlocked position, second segment curved surface cardinal principle is perpendicular to the line in the center of circle and the mechanism center of circle of boss 6-3, boss 6-3 this moment outwards motion under the support of second segment curved surface, be that the vertical range in second segment curved surface and the mechanism center of circle is greater than the vertical range in first paragraph curved surface and the mechanism center of circle, and connect by the inclined-plane rounding off between the two, the whole curved surface of final formation, curved surface 5-1 is in release, participate in the position of control voussoir in the locking process, to realize release, eliminate the sequencing of gap action in the locking process.
The sequencing of above-mentioned slide block and wedge block movement refers to: in releasing process, curved surface 5-1 drives voussoir 6 by boss 6-3 and inwardly outwards moves before the motion at slide block 3, make voussoir 6 and slide block 3 and chute produce in the horizontal the gap, move to unlocking direction with rear slider 3 beginnings; In the locking process, voussoir 6 under the effect of flexible member 7 slide block 3 first with ratchet 2 mesh fully stop outwards motion after, voussoir 6 continues inwardly motion, until eliminate fully in voussoir 6 and slide block 3 and chute gap in the horizontal.
Its releasing process is as follows:
When external torque is delivered on the release cam 5 by hollow shaft 8; the boss 4-1 that cam path 5-2 on the release cam 5 drives two wedges 4 outwards moves; the boss 6-3 that curved surface 5-1 on release cam 5 outer rims promotes voussoir 6 outwards moves; voussoir 6 produces the gap in a lateral direction with slide block 3 and chute, guarantees that slide block 3 can slide in chute.Subsequently two cam path 5-3 on the release cam 5 with the boss 3-1 on the movable slider 3 to the center translation, until slide block ratchet 3-2 and ratchet ratchet 2-1 throw off fully, at this moment, ratchet 2 can freely rotate relative to the mating surface 9 of coulisse 1 around both, thereby realizes the adjusting of backrest angle.
Its locking process is as follows:
When backrest angle is adjusted to suitable position, remove external torque (release handle), under the driving of back-moving spring 10, the cam path 5-2 of release cam 5 drives wedge 4 to the center translation, voussoir 3 inwardly moves along the curved surface on the release cam 5 under the effect of flexible member 4, the contacting from locking face from locking face and slide block 3 of wedge 4, and promote slide block 3 along the outside translation of the chute of coulisse, until slide block ratchet 3-2 and ratchet ratchet 2-1 mesh fully.This moment, voussoir 3 was under the effect of flexible member 4, continue inwardly motion until in a lateral direction gap between voussoir 6 and slide block 3 and the chute is eliminated fully, slide block 3, voussoir 6 and chute are combined together closely, reach the purpose of eliminating the device for regulating chair angle axial clearance.
