Abstract

An electric push rod includes a drive motor, an outer tube, a threaded rod, a screw nut and a slider block. The outer tube is fixed to the drive motor, the threaded rod and the screw nut are located in the outer tube, the screw nut is in a threaded connection with the threaded rod, the drive motor is connected with the threaded rod to drive the threaded rod, and the slider block is sleeved on the outer tube and supported on the screw nut. When the threaded rod is rotated inversely to actuate the screw nut to move downwards, the slider block will not move downwards or trend to move downwards due to the screw nut fails to fix on the slider block, thus hands or fingers will not be jammed by the headrest even if the hands or fingers are rested beneath the headrest.

Claims (11)

1. An electric push rod, comprising a drive motor, an outer tube, a threaded rod, a screw nut and a slider block, wherein the outer tube is fixed to the drive motor, the threaded rod and the screw nut are located in the outer tube, the screw nut is in a threaded connection with the threaded rod, the drive motor is connected with the threaded rod to drive the threaded rod, and the slider block is sleeved on the outer tube and supported on the screw nut.

2. The electric push rod according to claim 1 , further comprising a fixed base, wherein the outer tube and the drive motor are fixed on the fixed base respectively, and output axis of the threaded rod and the drive motor are extended into the fixed base.

3. The electric push rod according to claim 1 , wherein a limiting cover is provided at a top of the outer tube to limit the slider block.

4. The electric push rod according to claim 1 , wherein a side wall of the outer tube is provided with a guiding slot that is extended from up to down, and the screw nut is provided with a guiding rib that is slid within the guiding slot.

5.
