[0029] For the seat assembly of an automobile, the armrest often needs to rotate relative to the seat to facilitate the passenger's entry and exit. Therefore, the armrest is provided with an armrest rotating shaft 2. Some armrest rotating shafts 2 are connected to the seat through bolts and bushings, but the damage rate of the seat armrest is relatively high, and the disassembly and assembly are complicated with such a setting. Figure 1 A perspective view of the seat assembly according to an embodiment of the present application. Please refer to Figure 1The present application provides a seat assembly, including a seat (not shown), an armrest and a connector 3, wherein the seat includes a shell 1 and a seat body (not shown) covered by the shell 1, the shell 1 is provided with an armrest fixing hole 11, and the armrest fixing hole 11 is used to fix the armrest to the seat through the connector 3. The armrest includes an armrest body (not shown) and an armrest shaft 2 connected to the armrest body (not shown), and the armrest shaft 2 includes a shaft first end 21 connected to the armrest fixing hole 11 and a shaft second end 22 fixed to the armrest body. In some embodiments, the armrest body is perpendicular to the armrest shaft 2 and fixed to the armrest shaft 2, and rotates with the armrest shaft 2. In some embodiments, the armrest is fixed to one or both sides of the seat. In the first position, the armrest is perpendicular to the seat back to improve the passenger's riding experience. In the second position, the armrest is stored parallel to the seat back to facilitate the passenger's entry and exit. The connector 3 connects the first end 21 of the shaft with the armrest fixing hole 11. The connector 3 between the armrest and the seat of the seat assembly of the present application includes a cylindrical connector body 31, which is clamped in the armrest fixing hole 11, and the first end 21 of the shaft is inserted into the connector body 31. In some embodiments, the armrest is fixed to the shell 1 of the seat only on one side through the first end 21 of the armrest shaft 2, which saves materials, is easy to disassemble and assemble, and has a beautiful appearance. Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the connecting member 3 is cylindrical, the inner ring is connected to the armrest shaft 2, and the outer ring is connected to the shell 1 of the seat, so that the armrest shaft 2 is connected to the seat and can rotate relative to the seat.

[0030] Figure 2 for Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the connector 3 of the seat assembly shown; Figure 3 for Figure 1 A sectional view of the connector 3 of the seat assembly shown along section AA; Figure 4 for Figure 1 The sectional view of the connector 3 of the seat assembly along the BB section is shown. Figures 2 - 4 The seat assembly of the present application, its connector 3 includes an undercut 32, and the undercut 32 includes an undercut extension 321 extending from the side wall of the connector body 31 and an undercut limiter 322 located at the free end of the undercut extension 321; when the first end 21 of the rotating shaft is inserted into the connector body 31, the undercut limiter 322 radially protrudes outside the connector body 31 and snaps into the side of the armrest fixing hole 11 away from the armrest. In this way, the undercut limiter 322 axially limits the housing 1 and the connector 3, and when disassembly is required, the first end 21 of the rotating shaft is moved out of the connector body 31 to separate the connector 3 from the armrest fixing hole 11; when installation is required, the connector 3 only needs to be inserted into the armrest fixing hole 11. In this way, the seat assembly of the present application is realized, and the seat and armrest are easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0031] In the illustrated embodiment, the connector body 31 includes a reverse buckle groove 324 extending from one end of the connector body 31 away from the armrest body to the other end, and the reverse buckle extension 321 extends from the bottom of the reverse buckle groove 324 close to the armrest body. Thus, the reverse buckle 32 extends from the bottom of the connector body 31 close to the armrest body, the reverse buckle extension 321 extends within the reverse buckle groove 324, and the reverse buckle limiting portion 322 does not exceed the length of the connector body 31 in the axial direction. Therefore, the connector 3 of the present application is structurally compact, reasonably designed, and material-saving.

[0032] In the illustrated embodiment, when the first end 21 of the rotating shaft is not inserted into the connector body 31, the reverse buckle limiting portion 322 radially protrudes outside the connector body 31 and is buckled to the side of the armrest fixing hole 11 away from the armrest. When the connector 3 is not inserted into the armrest fixing hole 11, the radial dimension of the reverse buckle 32 thereof is also larger than the dimension of the armrest fixing hole 11. Thus, when the connector 3 needs to be inserted into the armrest fixing hole 11 of the seat, the reverse buckle 32 needs to be closed inward first, then the connector 3 is inserted into the armrest fixing hole 11, and finally the position of the reverse buckle 32 is restored, so that the reverse buckle limiting portion 322 of the reverse buckle 32 radially protrudes outside the connector body 31 and is buckled to the side of the armrest fixing hole 11 away from the armrest. In this way, the connector 3 can be pre-fixed to the armrest fixing hole 11 of the seat first.

[0033] In this embodiment, a reverse buckle guiding surface 323 is provided at the top end of the reverse buckle 32 of the connector 3. During the insertion of the connector 3, the armrest fixing hole 11 can cause the reverse buckle 32 to close inward, facilitating the direct insertion of the reverse buckle 32 into the armrest fixing hole 11 of the seat.

[0034] In other embodiments, when the first end 21 of the rotating shaft is not inserted into the connector body 31, the free end of the reverse buckle extension 321 bends and extends into the connector body 31 relative to the other end of the reverse buckle extension 321, and a part of the reverse buckle limiting portion 322 is radially located within the connector body 31. This facilitates the entry and exit of the connector 3 in the armrest fixing hole 11, realizing the easy disassembly and assembly function of the seat and the armrest of the seat assembly of the present application.

[0035] In the illustrated embodiment, the reverse buckle 32 is rigidly connected to the connector body 31, and when an external force is applied, the reverse buckle extension 321 bends inward through the elasticity of the material. Thus, the connector 3 can be integrally manufactured, the manufacturing process is simple, and the connection between the connector 3 and the armrest fixing hole 11 is closer. In other embodiments, the bottom of the reverse buckle 32 is rotatably connected to the connector body 31. For example, the bottom of the reverse buckle 32 and the connector body 31 are connected by a rotating shaft, and the reverse buckle limiting portion 322 can rotate relative to the connector body 31, improving the service life of the connector 3.

[0036] In some embodiments, the connecting member 3 is fixedly connected to the armrest shaft 2 so that when the first end 21 of the shaft is inserted into the connecting member body 31, the undercut 32 cannot fall out of the armrest fixing hole 11. There is no limitation on the specific axial fixing method of the connecting member 3 and the armrest shaft 2.

[0037] In the illustrated embodiment, the connector 3 further includes a limiting protrusion 33 movably disposed on the side wall of the connector body 31 in the radial direction, the limiting protrusion 33 at least partially protrudes from the connector body 31, the first end 21 of the rotating shaft is provided with a limiting groove 23 recessed radially inward, the limiting groove 23 includes a first groove wall and a second groove wall opposite to each other in the length direction of the armrest rotating shaft 2, when the first end 21 of the rotating shaft is inserted into the connector body 31, the limiting protrusion 33 is clamped in the limiting groove 23, and clamped between the first groove wall and the second groove wall. In this way, the armrest rotating shaft 2 and the connector 3 are connected and fixed in the axial direction. There is no restriction on the shape of the limiting protrusion 33 as long as it can abut against the side wall of the limiting groove 23. In some embodiments, the limiting groove 23 is a groove surrounding the first end 21 of the rotating shaft. In this way, no matter how the armrest rotating shaft 2 is rotated relative to the seat at different angles, the limiting protrusion 33 can ensure the axial limitation of the limiting groove 23, so that the armrest and the connecting member 3 remain fixedly connected during the rotation of the armrest.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, when the first end 21 of the rotating shaft is inserted into the connecting member body 31, the first end 21 of the rotating shaft pushes the undercut limit portion 322 radially outward. In some embodiments, the first end 21 of the rotating shaft further includes a self-locking portion 211, the self-locking portion 211 is away from the second end 22 of the rotating shaft relative to the limit groove 23, the self-locking portion 211 protrudes radially outward relative to the limit groove 23, and the maximum diameter of the self-locking portion 211 is greater than the minimum radial dimension of the undercut 32 when the first end 21 of the rotating shaft is not inserted into the connecting member body 31, and when the first end 21 of the rotating shaft is inserted into the connecting member body 31, the self-locking portion 211 pushes the undercut 32 radially outward. The self-locking portion 211 of the first end 21 of the rotating shaft abuts against the inner wall of the undercut 32, so that the undercut 32 cannot be closed inward, so that the first end 21 of the rotating shaft can ensure that the undercut limit portion 322 does not fall out of the armrest fixing hole 11 after the rotating shaft is inserted into the connecting member body 31, thereby realizing the self-locking connection between the seat and the armrest of the present application. In this embodiment, the seat and the armrest are self-lockingly connected, and the first end 21 of the shaft is finally inserted into the connector body 31 during installation, and the first end 21 of the shaft is first pulled out of the connector body 31 during disassembly, thereby realizing the easy disassembly and assembly function of the seat assembly and the armrest of the present application.

[0039] In the illustrated embodiment, the length of the reverse buckle 32 is less than or equal to the depth of the reverse buckle groove 324 in the axial direction of the connector body 31, and the reverse buckle limiting portion 322 is closer to the end of the connector body 31 away from the armrest body relative to the limiting protrusion 33. On the armrest rotating shaft 2, the self-locking portion 211 of the first end 21 of the rotating shaft is closer to the end point of the first end of the armrest relative to the limiting groove 23. In this way, the connector 3 has a compact structure and a reasonable design.

[0040] In the illustrated embodiment, a limiting protrusion guiding surface 231 is provided at the top end of the armrest rotating shaft 2. The limiting protrusion includes a limiting protrusion mating guiding surface 331. The limiting protrusion guiding surface 231 and the limiting protrusion guiding surface 231 can abut against each other when the armrest rotating shaft 2 is inserted into the connector body 31, causing the limiting protrusion 33 to displace outward from the connector body 31 so as to be caught in the limiting groove 23. In this way, it is convenient to directly insert the armrest rotating shaft 2 into the connector body 31.

[0041] In some embodiments, the limiting protrusion 33 includes a disassembly ear 332 protruding outside the connector body 31, and the disassembly ear 332 is provided with a tool mating hole 3321 for mating with a disassembly tool. In the illustrated embodiment, the tool mating hole 3321 is a through hole on the disassembly ear 332 protruding outside the connector body 31. In other embodiments, it is a blind hole. In this way, a disassembly tool, such as a pair of needle-nose pliers, is inserted into the through hole or blind hole of the disassembly ear 332, and an external force is applied to make the limiting protrusion 33 move out of the limiting groove 23, so that the disassembly of the armrest rotating shaft 2 and the connector 3 can be realized. In this way, the easy disassembly function of the armrest of the seat assembly of the present application and the seat is realized.

[0042] The installation process of the seat and the armrest of the present application in the illustrated embodiment is as follows: First, insert the connector 3 into the armrest fixing hole 11 of the seat shell 1 until the reverse buckle limiting portion 322 is caught on the side of the shell 1 away from the armrest. Then, insert the first end 21 of the rotating shaft of the armrest into the connector body 31 until the limiting protrusion 33 is caught in the limiting groove 23. At this time, the self-locking portion 211 located at the front end of the limiting groove 23 abuts against the reverse buckle limiting portion 322 so that the reverse buckle limiting portion 322 cannot be disengaged from the armrest fixing hole 11, and finally the fixed connection between the armrest and the seat is realized.

[0043] The installation process of the seat and the armrest of the present application in the illustrated embodiment is as follows: First, use a disassembly tool to pull the disassembly ear 332 outwards so that the limiting protrusion 33 moves out of the limiting groove 23. Then, pull out the armrest rotating shaft 2 from the connector body 31. At this time, the reverse buckle 32 loses the abutment of the self-locking portion 211. Then, use a disassembly tool to bend the reverse buckle 32 inwards, and the connector 3 can be pulled out of the armrest fixing hole 11. In this way, the disassembly of the armrest and the seat is realized.

[0044] In summary, the seat assembly of the present application not only realizes reliable and simple self-locking in the axial direction, but also is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0045] In order to realize the rotation function of the armrest relative to the seat, in the illustrated embodiment, the armrest shaft 2 can rotate in the connecting member body 31, and the connecting member body 31 is fixed circumferentially relative to the seat. In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting member 3 also includes a rotation limit member 34 extending outward from the side wall of the connecting member body 31, and the outer shell 1 also includes a rotation limit hole 12 located outside the armrest fixing hole 11, and the rotation limit member 34 is inserted in the rotation limit hole 12. The connecting member 3 is fixed circumferentially relative to the seat, and the armrest shaft 2 can rotate circumferentially relative to the connecting member 3.

[0046] In other embodiments, the armrest shaft 2 is fixed in the circumferential direction relative to the connecting member body 31, and the connecting member body 31 is rotatable relative to the seat. The armrest shaft 2 includes a shaft rotation limiter 34 located on the outer wall of the armrest shaft 2, and the connecting member 3 also includes a shaft rotation limiter mating member extending outward from the side wall of the connecting member body 31, so that the armrest can also be rotated relative to the seat. Correspondingly, if the armrest needs to be fixed and cannot rotate, the above two limiters can be set at the same time, and the armrest shaft 2 is fixed in the circumferential direction relative to the connecting member body 31 and the connecting member 3 is fixed in the circumferential direction relative to the seat.

[0047] In some embodiments, the connector 3 further includes a limiting protrusion 33 movably disposed on the side wall of the connector body 31 in the radial direction. When the first end 21 of the rotating shaft is inserted into the connector body 31, the limiting protrusion 33 radially limits the first end 21 of the rotating shaft, and the undercut 32, the limiting protrusion 33 and the rotation limiting member 34 are staggered in the circumferential direction of the connector body 31. In this way, the undercut 32, the limiting protrusion 33 and the rotation limiting member 34 are reasonably arranged, and the mutual staggering allows the three to be arranged in a close position in the axial direction, making the connector 3 compact. In some embodiments, the undercut 32, the limiting protrusion 33 and the rotation limiting member 34 may be arranged relative to each other or not.

[0048] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the connector 3 further includes a first axial stopper 35 disposed at one end of the connector body 31 close to the armrest body, the first axial stopper 35 protrudes radially outward relative to the connector body 31, the armrest shaft 2 further includes a second axial stopper 36 protruding outward from the outer wall of the armrest shaft 2, and the first axial stopper 35 is clamped between the second axial stopper 36 and the armrest fixing hole 11. In this way, the connector 3 is limited by the undercut stopper 322 in the first direction along the axial direction of the connector 3 relative to the seat shell 1, and by the first axial stopper 35 in the second direction; the armrest shaft 2 is limited by the stopper protrusion 33 in the first direction along the axial direction of the armrest shaft 2 relative to the connector 3, and by the second axial stopper 36 in the second direction. In this way, when the armrest is connected to the seat, the armrest shaft 2 is axially fixed relative to the connector 3 and the connector 3 is axially fixed relative to the seat shell 1, and the seat and the armrest of the seat assembly of the present application are firmly connected.

[0049] On the other hand, the present application also provides an automobile (not shown), which includes the aforementioned seat assembly. Since the seat assembly of the present application is used in the automobile of the present application, the riding experience of passengers is good, and when the armrest of any seat assembly is damaged, since the armrest of the seat assembly is easily detachable, it can be replaced in time.
