The utility model provides a car seat's embodiment 1:
as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the car seat in this embodiment includes a seat 1 and a backrest 2, the seat 1 is located at the front side of the backrest 2, and both form an L-shaped structure, which is convenient for passengers to sit on.
The width direction of the backrest 2 is defined as the left-right direction, the backrest 2 is formed by two fixed backrest parts 22 and two movable backrest parts 21, the two fixed backrest parts 22 and the seat 1 are relatively and fixedly assembled together for the passengers to normally lean on, and of course, the fixed backrest part 22 can still be adjusted in pitch and back relative to the seat 1 to improve the comfort.
The two movable backrest portions 21 are positioned in the middle of the two fixed backrest portions 22 in the left-right direction and are movably hinge-fitted together with the respective outer fixed backrest portions 22 through vertical hinge shafts 3 in one-to-one correspondence so that each movable backrest portion 21 can rotate relative to the respective fixed backrest portion 22.
The movable backrest part 21 has a fixed position on the rotation stroke, and the movable backrest part 21 and the fixed backrest part 22 in the fixed position are fixedly assembled relatively to form the backrest 2 in an assembling way, so that passengers can conveniently lean on the backrest.
In addition, the movable backrest part 21 has an avoidance stroke of swinging backward from the fixed position on a rotation stroke thereof, and the movable backrest part 21 swings backward on the avoidance stroke to form an avoidance space for avoiding an article carried on the back of the passenger. That is to say, the two movable backrest parts 21 swing backwards relatively to open to form a corresponding avoiding space for the articles carried by the passengers to enter, so that the articles can be accommodated conveniently, the normal leaning of the passengers on the fixed backrest parts 22 is not influenced, the passengers are supported sufficiently, the comfort is ensured, meanwhile, the front and back movement space of the passengers is effectively ensured, and the safe driving can be effectively ensured.
Since the two movable backrest portions 21 are located between the two fixed backrest portions 22, for the convenience of fixing, an openable and closable connecting structure is provided between the two movable backrest portions 21 to form a half-open structure for fixing the two movable backrest portions 21 in a fixed position.
