AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, vehicle seats can only move in the forward and backward directions and cannot be rotated in autonomous vehicles, resulting in insufficient convenience of seat use, especially in limited indoor spaces where it cannot meet the needs of multiple people communicating and enjoying the external scenery.

Method used

By setting drive motors and gear structures on the guide rails of the vehicle seat, the movement of each guide rail can be independently controlled, enabling partial rotation of the seat in two directions. Utilizing the design of gear meshing and fixing components, the seat can rotate along a predetermined angle with the central axis as a reference.

Benefits of technology

In the limited space of autonomous vehicles, seats can rotate in multiple directions without interfering with surrounding components, improving ease of use, simplifying the structure, and reducing the number of parts and costs.
