The first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 are integrally disposed along the seat height direction h, and the third connecting portion 23 is integrally disposed at an angle to the seat height direction h. The first connection portion 21, the third connection portion 23, and the second connection portion 22 are sequentially disposed along the seat height direction h, forming a Z-shaped structure. The first connecting portion 21 is connected with the support plate 1 and can rotate relative to the support plate 1, and the first locking mechanism is used for fixing the first connecting portion 21 and the support plate 1. The second connecting part 22 is connected with the swing rod seat 3 and can rotate relative to the swing rod seat 3, and the second locking mechanism is used for fixing the second connecting part 22 and the swing rod seat 3. The swing rod 2 of the embodiment is a Z-shaped round rod, and has simple structure and easy manufacture. In other embodiments of the present utility model, the swing link 2 may have other shapes, and only three portions forming a Z-shaped structure are required, so that the distance between the support plate 1 and the swing link seat 3 along the width direction w of the seat is adjustable.
The first locking mechanism comprises a first pressing plate 41 and two first locking bolts 42, in order to realize the stable connection between the first locking bolts 42 and the supporting plate 1, the supporting plate 1 is internally provided with a metal insert 11, the structure of the metal insert 11 is shown in fig. 4, and a plurality of through holes are formed, so that the injection molding material and the metal insert 11 can be combined more firmly during injection molding. The first connecting portion 21 is sandwiched between the first pressing plate 41 and the support plate 1, and the first locking bolt 42 is sequentially screwed with the first pressing plate 41 and the metal insert 11.
The swing rod seat 3 is provided with a jack 31 along the seat height direction h corresponding to a second connecting part 22, the second connecting part 22 is inserted into the corresponding jack 31, the second locking mechanism comprises four second locking bolts 51 and corresponding locking nuts 52, the swing rod seat 3 is also provided with a through hole 32 along the seat height direction h, the through hole 32 is communicated with the two jacks 31, the second locking bolts 51 penetrate through the through hole 32 along the seat width direction w and penetrate through the swing rod seat 3 at the same time, and the second locking mechanisms are connected with the corresponding locking nuts 52.
In order to improve the stability of the lateral seat support device, a third locking mechanism is further provided, the third locking mechanism comprises two third locking bolts 63, a locking seat 62 and two second pressing plates 61 which are oppositely arranged, the second connecting portion 22 is clamped between the two second pressing plates 61, and the third locking bolts 63 sequentially penetrate through the two second pressing plates 61 along the width direction w of the seat and are in threaded connection with the locking seat 62. To reduce manufacturing costs, the first platen 41 and the second platen 61 are identical in structure. For ease of assembly, the first and second pressure plates 41, 61 are symmetrical in both the seat height direction h and the seat depth direction d.
In this embodiment, the unexpected rotation of the swing link 2 is prevented by the friction force of the first pressing plate 41 and the supporting plate 1 to the first connecting portion 21, the friction force of the two second pressing plates 61 to the second connecting portion 22, and the friction force of the swing link seat 3 to the second connecting portion 22. The friction force of the first pressing plate 41 and the supporting plate 1 to the first connecting portion 21 prevents the supporting plate 1 from being separated from the swing rod 2 along the height direction h, and the friction force of the swing rod seat 3 to the second connecting portion 22 prevents the swing rod 2 from being separated from the swing rod seat 3 along the height direction h.
After the first locking bolt 42, the second locking bolt 51 and the third locking bolt 63 are unscrewed, the supporting plate 1 is grasped to exert force, the distance between the supporting plate 1 and the swing rod seat 3 in the width direction w of the seat can be adjusted, the width of the seat can be adjusted, the included angle between the supporting plate 1 and the swing rod seat 3 can be adjusted, the special requirements of a user can be met, more proper support is provided for the buttocks and/or thighs of the user, the wrapping performance of the seat is improved, and for example, the left supporting plate 1 and the right supporting plate 1 can be adjusted to be in a forward-opening "\/" structure, see fig. 5.
When the distance between the support plate 1 and the swing link seat 3 in the seat width direction w is adjusted, the position of the support plate 1 in the seat depth direction d also changes. Therefore, the seat lateral support device further comprises a sliding rail 7 and a fourth locking mechanism, the sliding rail 7 is arranged along the seat depth direction d, the two swing rods 2 are arranged at intervals along the seat depth direction d, the swing rod seat 3 can move along the sliding rail 7, and the fourth locking mechanism is used for fixing the swing rod seat 3 and the sliding rail 7.
