[0074] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely for explaining the technical principles of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0075] Secondly, it should be noted that in the description of the embodiments of this application, the terms "inner" and "outer" and other terms indicating the direction or positional relationship are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0076] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0077] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0078] As described in the background section, the cover in the related technology is easily opened by children. The applicant's research found that the reason for this problem is that the cover in the related technology is hinged to the seat. Applying a small external force to the cover can rotate it outward and open the cover, exposing the insertion interface. The cover is easy to open, which makes it easy for children to open the cover and insert their hands into the insertion interface, thus reducing the safety of the seat.

[0079] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a connection structure, a seat, and a vehicle. A driving member is provided in the cover assembly. When engaged with a bracket, the driving member slides along a second direction, pushing a locking member to slide along a first direction and move out of the slot in the cover seat. The locking member is then released from the cover seat. The bracket continues to push the cover forward, causing it to rotate and open the communication port. By using the bracket to drive the driving member, and thus controlling the opening of the communication port, the difficulty for a child to open the cover by hand is increased, making it less likely for a child to insert their hand into the communication port, thereby improving the safety of the seat.

[0080] The principles and features of the embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of the embodiments of this application.

[0081] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, "front" refers to the direction the user faces when sitting in the seat, and "back" refers to the direction the user faces away from when sitting in the seat.

[0082] This embodiment provides a vehicle that may include a body and seats. The seats are disposed within the body.

[0083] The seat may include a seat body. The seat body may include a frame, a seat cushion, and a backrest. The frame may include a generally horizontal seating section and a backrest section at a predetermined angle to the seating section. The seat cushion is provided on the seating section, and the backrest section covers the backrest. The shape of the seat cushion and the backrest is adapted to the human body to distribute the pressure between the human body and the seat reasonably, so that the passenger can sit firmly and comfortably on the seat cushion and lean against the backrest.

[0084] refer to Figure 1 The seat body can also be constructed with a snap-fit ​​structure 60. The snap-fit ​​structure 60 can be embedded in the backrest to prevent the snap-fit ​​structure 60 from protruding outside the backrest and occupying the space behind the backrest.

[0085] The seat may also include a connecting structure. (See reference) Figure 1 The connection structure may include a cover seat 10, a cover assembly 20, and a bracket 50.

[0086] The cover holder 10 can be attached to the backrest. (See reference) Figure 1A back panel 70 can be provided on the rear side of the backrest, and the back panel 70 can roughly fit against the rear side of the backrest. The back panel 70 can have mounting openings, which can be positioned opposite and spaced apart from the connecting structure. (Reference) Figure 1 The cover seat 10 can be connected to the back plate 70 and installed in the mounting port.

[0087] refer to Figure 1 The cover seat 10 may be configured with a connecting port 110, and the axis of the connecting port 110 may be approximately parallel to the axis of the mounting port.

[0088] Ankao Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cover assembly 20 can be rotatably connected to the cover seat 10 to open or block the communication port 110.

[0089] refer to Figure 1 The bracket 50 can be used to push the cover assembly 20 forward so that the cover assembly 20 rotates forward, thereby opening the communication port 110. Figure 1 In the diagram, the positive direction of D1 is forward, and the negative direction of D1 is backward.

[0090] refer to Figure 1 The bracket 50 may have a snap-fit ​​end 501. The snap-fit ​​end 501 may move forward via the communication port 110 to snap onto the snap-fit ​​structure 60, thereby fixing the bracket 50 to the seat body.

[0091] The seat may also include functional components, such as an entertainment screen, fragrance diffuser, or tissue box. These functional components can be mounted on a bracket 50 and connected to the seat body via the bracket 50. These functional components enhance the seat's functionality and meet the user's needs while traveling.

[0092] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cover assembly 20 may have a hinged end 201 and a locking end 202. (See reference) Figure 3 When the cover assembly 20 blocks the communication port 110, the hinge end 201 and the locking end 202 can be located at opposite ends of the cover assembly 20 along the first direction D1. The hinge end 201 is rotatably connected to the cover seat 10 so that the locking end 202 can rotate approximately around the hinge end 201, thereby opening or blocking the communication port 110.

[0093] The first direction D1 can be any direction perpendicular to the axis of the connecting port 110.

[0094] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 When the cover assembly 20 blocks the communication port 110, the hinge end 201 can be located above the locking end 202.

[0095] When the cover assembly 20 blocks the communication port 110, the locking end 202 rotates forward relative to the cover seat 10 to open the communication port 110 (see reference). Figure 4 When the cover assembly 20 opens the communication port 110, the locking end 202 rotates rearward relative to the cover seat 10 to block the communication port 110 (see reference). Figure 3 In other words, the cover assembly 20 does not extend beyond the rear side of the cover seat 10, so as to reduce the space occupied behind the seat when the cover assembly 20 rotates to the rear side of the cover seat 10.

[0096] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 5 The front side of the cover seat 10 may be provided with a receiving groove 130, the opening 131 of the receiving groove 130 facing forward, and the bottom 132 of the receiving groove 130 located behind the opening 131 of the receiving groove 130. The bottom 132 of the receiving groove 130 is provided with a connecting port 110, which penetrates a portion of the bottom 132 of the receiving groove 130.

[0097] The first part of the cover assembly 20 passes through the connecting opening 110, and the second part of the cover assembly 20 is received in the receiving groove 130 and is stopped by the bottom 132 of the receiving groove 130. The bottom 132 of the receiving groove 130 can stop the cover assembly 20, so that the cover assembly 20 can only rotate forward to open the connecting opening 110, preventing the cover assembly 20 from moving to the rear side of the cover seat 10, thereby reducing the space occupied behind the seat when the cover assembly 20 rotates to the rear side of the cover seat 10.

[0098] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 3 The connecting structure may also include a second elastic element 40, which may be a torsion spring (such as...). Figure 3 (as shown) or other elastic structures. The second elastic element 40 is elastically connected to the cover seat 10 and the cover assembly 20 respectively, and applies a rearward elastic force to the cover assembly 20 so that the cover assembly 20 blocks the communication port 110.

[0099] refer to Figure 3 In the implementation where the second elastic element 40 is a torsion spring, the torsion spring may include a spring body, a first spring arm, and a second spring arm. The spring body is helical. The spring body can be inserted through the rotating shaft 30 to fix the spring body via the rotating shaft 30. The first spring wall and the second spring arm are respectively connected to both ends of the spring body. The first spring wall and the second spring arm can be elastically connected to the cover seat 10 and the cover assembly 20, respectively. The torsion spring is used to apply a rearward elastic force to the cover assembly 20, so that the cover assembly 20 rotates backward and blocks the communication port 110.

[0100] As the support 50 pushes the cover assembly 20 to rotate forward, the torsion spring undergoes elastic deformation, and the degree of deformation gradually increases. During this process, the torsion spring gradually stores energy.

[0101] After the bracket 50 separates from the cover assembly 20, or after the bracket 50 moves backward from the communication port 110, the thrust of the bracket 50 on the cover assembly 20 is released, the torsion spring releases energy, and the torsion spring applies a backward elastic force to the cover assembly 20, so that the cover assembly 20 rotates backward and blocks the communication port 110.

[0102] The torsion spring causes the cover assembly 20 to automatically rotate backward and block the communication port 110 after it is separated from the bracket 50, preventing foreign objects from entering the snap-fit ​​structure 60 through the communication port 110.

[0103] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cover assembly 20 may include a cover 210, which is rotatably connected to the cover seat 10. The connection structure may also include a rotation shaft 30, the extension direction of which may be parallel to the surface of the back plate 70 and perpendicular to the first direction D1. The rotation shaft 30 passes through the cover seat 10 and the cover 210 so that the cover 210 can rotate relative to the cover seat 10 about the rotation shaft 30.

[0104] The second elastic element 40 can be connected to the cover 210 and the cover seat 10 respectively. The second elastic element 40 causes the cover 210 to automatically rotate backward and block the communication port 110 after it is separated from the bracket 50, so as to prevent foreign objects from entering the snap-fit ​​structure 60 through the communication port 110.

[0105] refer to Figure 7 The first part of the cover 210 can be inserted into the connecting port 110, and the second part of the cover 210 can be accommodated in the receiving groove 130 and cooperate with the bottom 132 of the receiving groove 130.

[0106] refer to Figure 8 The cover 210 may include a cover body 212 and a protrusion 213. The protrusion 213 is disposed on the rear side of the cover body 212. (See reference) Figure 5 and Figure 7 The protrusion 213 passes through the connecting opening 110, and part of the cover body 212 is accommodated in the receiving groove 130 and is stopped by the bottom 132 of the receiving groove 130. The bottom 132 of the receiving groove 130 can stop the cover body 212, so that the cover 210 can only rotate forward to open the connecting opening 110, preventing the cover 210 from moving to the rear side of the cover seat 10, thereby reducing the space occupied behind the seat when the cover 210 rotates to the rear side of the cover seat 10.

[0107] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The cover assembly 20 may also include a support member 220, which is disposed on the front side of the cover 210. The support member 220 may be snapped onto the cover 210 or connected by fasteners (fastening bolts, or retaining pins, etc.).

[0108] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cover seat 10 can be constructed with multiple slots 120, the opening of the slots 120 facing the axis of the connecting port 110, and the multiple slots 120 can be distributed around the periphery of the connecting port 110.

[0109] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cover assembly 20 may also include multiple locking elements 230, each of which corresponds to a slot 120. (See reference) Figure 6 and Figure 7 The locking member 230 can be slidably disposed on the support member 220 along the first direction D1 to be inserted into or removed from the corresponding slot 120.

[0110] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 Multiple slots 120 can be arranged at intervals on the side of the connecting port 110 away from the hinge end 201 to lock and engage with the locking end 202 of the cover assembly 20, thereby improving the locking strength of the cover assembly 20.

[0111] In other embodiments, multiple slots 120 may be distributed on opposite sides of the communication port 110 along a third direction. This third direction may be parallel to the surface of the back plate 70 and form an angle with the direction from the hinge end 201 to the locking end 202.

[0112] It is understood that in other embodiments, some of the slots 120 may be located on the side of the communication port 110 away from the hinge end 201, and the other slots 120 may be distributed on opposite sides of the communication port 110 along a third direction.

[0113] refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The locking member 230 may have a connecting portion 232 and a locking portion 233. The connecting portion 232 is slidably disposed on the support member 220. The locking portion 233 is connected to the end of the connecting portion 232 that is away from the hinge end 201.

[0114] The locking element 230 may have a locked position and an unlocked position.

[0115] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7When the locking member 230 is in the locked position, the locking part 233 moves into the corresponding slot 120. At this time, the cover 210 blocks the connecting port 110 and cannot rotate.

[0116] When the locking member 230 is in the unlocked position, the locking part 233 moves out of the corresponding slot 120. At this time, when the cover 210 is pushed forward, the cover 210 can rotate inward and open the communication port 110.

[0117] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The rear side of the locking part 233 may have a third guide surface 234, and the distance between the third guide surface 234 and the rear side of the cover seat 10 increases from the end closer to the connecting part 232 to the end farther away from the connecting part 232.

[0118] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cover seat 10 may have a fourth guide surface 140, which is located in front of the slot 120. The fourth guide surface 140 is used for sliding engagement with the third guide surface 234.

[0119] After the bracket 50 separates from the cover assembly 20, or after the bracket 50 moves backward from the communication port 110, the pushing force of the bracket 50 on the cover assembly 20 is released. The second elastic member 40 applies a backward elastic force to the cover assembly 20, so that the cover assembly 20 rotates backward. When the cover assembly 20 rotates to the point where the third guide surface 234 contacts the fourth guide surface 140, the fourth guide surface 140 guides the locking part 233 to guide the locking part 233 to move upward while rotating backward, so as to pass over the cover seat 10 in front of the slot 120 and move into the slot 120. This reduces the resistance of the cover seat 10 to the locking part 233, making it easier for the locking part 233 to move into the slot 120.

[0120] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cover assembly 20 may also include multiple driving members 240, each driving member 240 corresponding to a locking member 230. The multiple driving members 240 are slidably disposed on their corresponding locking members 230 along the second direction D2.

[0121] The second direction D2 can be approximately parallel to the axial direction of the connecting port 110, or have a small angle with the axial direction of the connecting port 110.

[0122] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The locking member 230 has a first guide surface 231, and the driving member 240 has a second guide surface 241. The second guide surface 241 is slidably disposed with the first guide surface 231 so that when the driving member 240 slides forward along the second direction D2, it pushes the locking member 230 to slide away from the slot 120 along the first direction D1, so that the locking member 230 moves out of the slot 120.

[0123] refer to Figure 1 The latching end 501 of the bracket 50 is used to cooperate with multiple driving members 240 to drive the multiple driving members 240 to slide forward along the second direction D2. When the driving members 240 slide forward along the second direction D2, they push the locking member 230 to slide away from the slot 120 along the first direction D1, so that the locking member 230 moves out of the slot 120, that is, the locking member 230 is in the unlocked position. At this time, the latching end 501 of the bracket 50 continues to push the cover 210 forward, and the cover 210 can rotate inward and open the communication port 110. After passing through the communication port 110, the latching end 501 moves forward to engage with the latching structure 60, thereby fixing the bracket 50 to the seat body.

[0124] The bracket 50 drives the drive component 240, which in turn controls the cover 210 to open the connection port 110, increasing the difficulty for children to open the cover 210 by hand, thus making it less likely for children to insert their hands into the connection port 110 and improving the safety of the seat.

[0125] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The cover assembly 20 may further include a plurality of first elastic elements 250, each of which is correspondingly provided with a locking element 230. The first elastic element 250 is disposed between the corresponding locking element 230 and the support element 220, and the first elastic element 250 is used to apply a spring force toward the locking element 230 toward the slot 120.

[0126] After the bracket 50 separates from the cover 210, or in other words, after the bracket 50 moves backward from the communication port 110, the torsion spring applies a backward elastic force to the cover 210, causing the cover 210 to rotate backward and block the communication port 110.

[0127] When the cover 210 blocks the connecting opening 110, after the push force of the bracket 50 on the drive member 240 is released, the first elastic member 250 applies a spring force towards the slot 120 to the locking member 230, so that the locking member 230 moves into the slot 120 along the first direction D1, and the locking member 230 returns to the locked position. When the locking member 230 moves towards the slot 120 along the first direction D1, the first guide surface 231 slides into the second guide surface 241, and pushes the drive member 240 backward along the second direction D2 to the position before engaging with the bracket 50, so that the locking member 230 can be unlocked by the bracket 50 next time.

[0128] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 9 The support member 220 may be constructed with a first sliding cavity 221, and the locking member 230 is slidably disposed in the first sliding cavity 221, with a portion of the locking member 230 extending outside the first sliding cavity 221.

[0129] refer to Figure 9 The locking element 230 may be configured with an assembly channel 235.

[0130] refer to Figure 9 The support member 220 may have a stop portion 222, which may be plate-shaped or sheet-shaped, etc. (See reference) Figure 6 The stop part 222 can be inserted into the assembly channel 235. The stop part 222 divides the assembly channel 235 into a first channel 236 and a second channel 237. The first channel 236 is located on the side of the stop part 222 away from the slot 120, and the second channel 237 is located on the side of the stop part 222 close to the slot 120.

[0131] refer to Figure 6 The driving component 240 is slidably disposed within the first channel 236 along the second direction D2.

[0132] refer to Figure 6 The first elastic element 250 is disposed within the second channel 237.

[0133] The second channel 237 has a first limiting structure in the channel wall structure opposite to the stop 222. The first limiting structure can be a first limiting post 238 (see reference). Figure 10 (or the first limiting groove, etc.)

[0134] The stop portion 222 has a second limiting structure on the side opposite to the second channel 237. The second limiting structure can be a second limiting post or a second limiting groove 239 (see reference). Figure 10 )wait.

[0135] The two ends of the first elastic element 250 in the telescopic direction are respectively limited and engaged with the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure.

[0136] The first limiting structure and the second limiting structure can reduce the radial degree of freedom of the first elastic element 250, making it less likely for the first elastic element 250 to come out of the second channel 237, thereby improving the stability of the connection structure.

[0137] The following is for reference Figures 1-10 The cooperation method between the bracket 50 and the drive component 240 is described.

[0138] The cover 210 may be constructed with multiple through holes 211. The through holes 211 are configured one-to-one with the drive unit 240.

[0139] The driving component 240 can be a button, with each button corresponding to a through hole 211. The button passes through the corresponding through hole 211, and the button portion is located behind the cover 210 to facilitate abutting engagement with the snap-fit ​​end 501 of the bracket 50. The side of the button facing away from the slot 120 has a second guide surface 241, and the distance between the second guide surface 241 and the axis of the button decreases along the direction away from the cover 210.

[0140] The latch end 501 is used to simultaneously cover multiple buttons and push the multiple buttons to slide forward along the second direction D2. When the buttons slide forward along the second direction D2, they push the locking member 230 to slide away from the slot 120 along the first direction D1, so that the locking member 230 moves out of the slot 120, that is, the locking member 230 is in the unlocked position.

[0141] Pressing some of the buttons only unlocks some of the locking parts 230, while opening the cover 210 requires pressing all the buttons simultaneously to unlock all the locking parts 230, which increases the difficulty for children to open the cover 210.

[0142] After the locking member 230 is removed from the slot 120, the snap-fit ​​end 501 of the bracket 50 continues to push the cover 210 forward, allowing the cover 210 to rotate inward and open the communication port 110. After passing through the communication port 110, the snap-fit ​​end 501 moves forward to engage with the snap-fit ​​structure 60, thereby fixing the bracket 50 to the seat body.

[0143] The following is for reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 The cooperation method between the bracket 50 and the drive component 240 is described.

[0144] The driving component 240 can be a magnetic slider; the magnetic slider has a second guide surface 241 on the side away from the slot 120, and the distance between the second guide surface 241 and the slot 120 increases along the direction away from the cover 210.

[0145] The snap-fit ​​end 501 has a second magnetic element, which is magnetic and can be a magnet. The second magnetic element is used to attract multiple magnetic sliders.

[0146] When the cover 210 needs to be opened, the second magnetic element of the latch end 501 is brought close to and attracts all the magnetic sliders, causing all the magnetic sliders to move backward simultaneously along the second direction D2. During the backward movement of the magnetic sliders, since the second guide surface 241 slides relative to the first guide surface 231, the magnetic sliders push the locking element 230 to slide away from the slot 120 along the first direction D1, so that the locking element 230 moves out of the slot 120, that is, the locking element 230 is in the unlocked position.

[0147] The second magnetic component on the bracket 50 drives multiple magnetic sliders to move backward along the second direction D2, thereby unlocking all locking components 230 and increasing the difficulty for children to open the cover 210.

[0148] In some possible implementations of this application, the magnetic slider may include a housing 242 and a first magnetic element 243 disposed within the housing 242. The first magnetic element 243 is magnetic and may be a magnet or a ferromagnetic element. The housing 242 has a second guide surface 241 on the side opposite to the slot 120. Compared to constructing the second guide surface 241 on the first magnetic element 243, constructing the second guide surface 241 on the housing 242 is easier to manufacture and simplifies the processing difficulty of the connection structure.

[0149] The second magnetic element is used to attract the first magnetic element 243. Exemplarily, in an implementation where the first magnetic element 243 is a magnet, the rear end of the first magnetic element 243 can be an N pole, and the side of the second magnetic element facing the cover 210 can be an S pole. When the second magnetic element approaches the cover 210 or the first magnetic element 243, the S pole of the second magnetic element attracts the N pole of the first magnetic element 243, thereby attracting the magnetic slider backward along the second direction D2.

[0150] It is understandable that in some other implementations where the first magnetic element 243 is a magnet, the rear end of the first magnetic element 243 can be an S pole, and the side of the second magnetic element facing the cover 210 can be an N pole. When the second magnetic element approaches the cover 210 or the first magnetic element 243, the N pole of the second magnetic element attracts the S pole of the first magnetic element 243, thereby attracting the magnetic slider backward along the second direction D2.

[0151] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
