Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle seats and berths, and in particular to a berth-integrated middle seat for a commercial vehicle. Background Art

[0002] At present, the sales volume of the domestic commercial vehicle market has been growing steadily, and users have been increasingly demanding more comfortable riding space in the cab. Currently, about 30% of heavy truck cabs have a demand for middle seats. The additional middle seat is often limited by the space of the front instrument panel and the rear sleeper toolbox, resulting in a small riding space. The middle seat can only provide riding functions and the function of folding the backrest forward, which makes it less practical. In addition, due to the existence of the middle seat, the toolbox cannot be equipped with functional configurations such as drawers and refrigerators, which affects the heavy truck drivers' needs for life and dining during long-distance driving. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides an integrated middle seat which can provide a seating position and can be laid flat as a berth, aiming to solve the demand for a balance between seating and ensuring living and storage space in an existing truck cab.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0005] A middle sleeper-type seat of a commercial vehicle comprises a seat cushion frame, wherein the seat cushion frame comprises a middle flat rod, a group of legs are connected to the left and right sides of the middle flat rod, the lower ends of the legs are connected to the vehicle body floor, a group of rotating seats are provided at the upper ends of each group of legs, a horizontal connecting frame is provided between the two groups of legs, and the horizontal connecting frame is located behind the two rotating seats; the two rotating seats are respectively rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the backrest assembly, the middle part of the backrest bracket is provided with a locking hook, and the middle part of the horizontal connecting frame is provided with a locking buckle corresponding to the locking hook, and the front of the seat cushion frame is connected to the seat cushion assembly; when the backrest assembly is set vertically, it is positioned by inserting the locking hook into the locking buckle, and forms a middle seat structure with the seat cushion assembly; when the backrest assembly is folded horizontally, it is supported by the horizontal connecting frame, and forms a sleeper with the seat cushion assembly.

[0006] Preferably, a seat cushion connecting bracket is provided on the rear side of the seat cushion assembly, and the seat cushion connecting bracket is connected to the middle flat rod.

[0007] Preferably, a seat cushion mounting bracket is provided below the seat cushion assembly, and the seat cushion mounting bracket is connected to the seat cushion frame.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating seat is a U-shaped seat, and both ends of the backrest bracket are respectively installed in the middle cavity of the corresponding U-shaped seat.

[0009] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0010] (1) The middle seat of the present invention can provide a 10° backrest angle in the first use state, providing users with a spacious and comfortable riding space and improving the space utilization of the cab. After the backrest is unlocked, the seat can be rotated backward and merged with the berth to form a part of the berth, providing space for the user to rest.

[0011] (2) The seat is installed above the berth support frame and does not occupy the storage space below the berth. Drawers, refrigerators and other storage spaces can be set below to provide convenience for users.

[0012] (3) The rear seats of the present invention improve the versatility of the car interior, have a simple structure and high space utilization. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation of the present invention through the description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. In order to make the purpose, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in this specific embodiment. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this patent, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0021] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the berth frame is bolted to the vehicle floor (1100). The berth drawer (800) is mounted in the space below the backrest assembly (100) and the seat cushion assembly (200). It is unlocked via a front unlocking mechanism, and the drawer can accommodate functional amenities such as a refrigerator. The backrest assembly (100) consists of a U-shaped backrest frame (130) and a cushioning layer covering the backrest frame's exterior. A locking hook (110) is located in the center of the backrest frame. Backrest frame connecting brackets (120) are located on either side of the backrest frame's lower end. These brackets connect to the seat back mounting brackets (300) and the outer seat mounting brackets (400) via backrest mounting bolt assemblies (500). A locking catch (310) is located in the middle of the center flat rod of the seat cushion. From the flat position of the backrest assembly (100), the hook (110) is tilted forward and rotated 80°, causing the locking hook (110) to engage the locking catch (310), locking the backrest. When the backrest assembly (100) is raised, the occupant can sit normally.

[0022] By unlocking the lock hook 110 and the lock buckle 310, the backrest assembly can be rotated 100 degrees, flipped back 80 degrees and laid flat with the 900-degree sleeper cushion. When the backrest is laid flat, the passenger can lie down and rest.

[0023] like Figure 3 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the coordination of the backrest, seat cushion frame and berth support frame. A rotating seat is installed at each end of the left and right sides of the middle horizontal rod 320. The rotating seat is a U-shaped frame composed of a seat outer mounting bracket 400 and a seat inner mounting bracket 500. The two lower ends of the 130 backrest frame are inserted into the U-shaped frame and are rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame.

[0024] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the seat cushion assembly 200 includes a seat cushion mounting bracket 210 and a seat cushion connecting bracket. The seat cushion mounting bracket 210 is connected and fixed to the 700 berth frame through two M6 bolts, and the seat cushion connecting bracket 220 is inserted into the lower end of the backrest mounting bracket 300 to achieve Z-direction fixation.

[0025] The above embodiments of the present invention are merely illustrative and not exclusive. All changes within the scope of the present invention or equivalent to the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. The present invention is described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned manner. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the concept and technical solution of the present invention or the concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
