Detailed Implementation
[0040] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0041] Reference Figure 1-15 This invention provides a seat, which may include a speaker assembly 1, a headrest bracket 2, a backrest frame 3, a wiring harness adapter 4, and a seat wiring harness assembly 5, wherein:
[0042] The speaker assembly 1 may include a speaker body 101 and a speaker wiring harness 102 electrically connected to the speaker body 101. The headrest bracket 2 is fixed to the speaker body 101; for example, the headrest bracket 2 and the speaker body 101 can be fixed by threaded connection, welding, or other methods. The headrest bracket 2 has a through hole 2021 for the speaker wiring harness 102 to pass through. The backrest frame 3 includes a conduit 301, and the headrest bracket 2 passes through the conduit 301. The conduit 301 has a locking structure; when the locking structure is locked, the headrest bracket 2 is fixed to the conduit 301; when the locking structure is unlocked, the headrest bracket 2 can slide freely within the conduit 301. The wiring harness adapter 4 is located at the bottom of the conduit 301 and engages with the side of the headrest bracket 2 that extends out of the conduit 301, wherein the wiring harness adapter 4 engages with the speaker wiring harness 102. In one example, refer to… Figure 5 As shown, the headrest bracket 2 may include a mounting bracket 201 and a headrest rod 202 extending below the mounting bracket 201, wherein the speaker body 101 is fixed on the mounting bracket 201, and the through hole 2021 is formed on the headrest rod 202.
[0043] The speaker wiring harness 102 extends from the side away from the speaker body 101 to the inside of the wiring harness adapter 4 and engages with the speaker wiring harness 102. The seat wiring harness assembly 5 engages with the wiring harness adapter 4, and forms an electrical connection with the speaker wiring harness 102 through the engagement with the wiring harness adapter 4. This allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the speaker headrest (which includes the speaker assembly 1 and the headrest bracket 2) without the aid of any tools, while simultaneously considering both mechanical structure and electrical connections, thus improving the user experience.
[0044] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the headrest bracket 2 has a lower headrest notch 2022 on its side away from the speaker body 101. The outer side of the wiring harness adapter 4 is provided with an adapter clip 401. During assembly, the adapter clip 401 deforms and enters the through hole 2021 in the headrest bracket 2. When the adapter clip 401 passes through the lower headrest notch 2022, the adapter clip 401 deforms and returns to its original shape, thereby engaging with the lower headrest notch 2022 to form a snap-fit.
[0045] In one example, the width of the adapter 401 gradually increases along the wiring harness adapter 4 from top (or towards the speaker body 101) to bottom (or towards the seat wiring harness assembly 5). Thus, the end face of the adapter 401 away from the wiring harness adapter 4 forms a guide surface, making it easier for the adapter 401 to deform and enter the through hole 2021 in the headrest bracket 2 when assembling the wiring harness adapter 4 from bottom to top.
[0046] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 11 as well as Figure 12 As shown, the wiring harness adapter 4 is provided with a lower adapter notch 402 on the side away from the headrest bracket 2. The lower adapter notch 402 extends radially from the inside to the outside of the wiring harness adapter 4. The seat wiring harness assembly 5 has a first component locking part 501 near the end of the wiring harness adapter 4. The first component locking part 501 engages with the lower adapter notch 402 from the outside of the wiring harness adapter 4 to form a locking connection. When the first component locking part 501 is assembled from the lower end of the wiring harness adapter 4, it deforms and remains in contact with the outside of the wiring harness adapter 4 during movement. When the first component locking part 501 passes the lower adapter notch 402, its deformation returns to its original shape, thus engaging with the lower adapter notch 402 to form a locking connection. This application does not impose excessive limitations on the number of lower adapter notches 402 and first component locking parts 501. For example, the number of the transition notch 402 and the corresponding component first card portion 501 can be two, etc.
[0047] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 as well as Figure 14As shown, the end of the conduit 301 away from the speaker body 101 is provided with an arc-shaped portion 302. Correspondingly, the end of the first locking portion 501 of the component facing the arc-shaped portion 302 is an inclined portion, and the height of the inclined portion gradually decreases inward along the outer side of the seat wiring harness assembly 5. Therefore, when the headrest bracket 2 is stretched upward along the conduit 301, the first locking portion 501 of the component can abut against the arc-shaped portion 302 and deform in a direction away from the lower notch 402 of the adapter (which can also be understood as radially outward along the seat wiring harness assembly 5) to release the locking relationship between the first locking portion 501 of the component and the lower notch 402 of the adapter. This allows the user to completely detach the seat wiring harness assembly 5 and the wiring harness adapter 4 without the need for other auxiliary tools.
[0048] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 7 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 as well as Figure 15 As shown, the seat wiring harness assembly 5 is further provided with a second locking part 502 near the end of the wiring harness adapter 4. The structure of the second locking part 502 can be the same as that of the first locking part 501, wherein the axial extension length of the second locking part 502 along the seat wiring harness assembly 5 is greater than that of the first locking part 501 along the axial extension length of the seat wiring harness assembly 5. Furthermore, a guide groove 303 is provided on the conduit 301. Thus, when the headrest bracket 2 is pulled upward along the conduit 301, completely disengaging the seat wiring harness assembly 5 and the wiring harness adapter 4, the second locking part 502 abuts and falls back along the outer side of the conduit 301. When the second locking part 502 passes through the guide groove 303, the second locking part 502 deforms and recovers, thereby allowing the second locking part 502 to engage with the guide groove 303 on the outer side of the conduit 301 to form a locking connection. This application does not impose excessive limitations on the number of guide slots 303 and the corresponding second component locking portions 502. For example, the number of guide slots 303 and the corresponding second component locking portions 502 can be two, etc. Thus, after the speaker headrest is removed, the seat wiring harness assembly 5 can be fixed to the conduit 301 to facilitate the next installation of the speaker headrest.
[0049] In one example, when the speaker headrest is installed again, the assembled headrest bracket 2 and wiring harness adapter 4 are first passed through the conduit 301. Under the downward thrust, the second locking part 502 of the component deforms and disengages from the guide slot 303. Under this action, when the first locking part 501 of the component enters the lower notch 402 of the adapter through the arc-shaped part 302, the first locking part 501 of the component recovers its deformation and thus cooperates with the lower notch 402 of the adapter to form a locking connection.
[0050] Therefore, users can easily remove the speaker headrest from the backrest frame 3, and after inserting the headrest bracket 2, it can automatically connect to the seat wiring harness assembly 5 via the wiring harness adapter 4. This allows for subsequent cyclical removal and insertion without requiring any auxiliary wiring harness connection, improving user convenience. Furthermore, without the need for any auxiliary tools for assembling or removing the speaker headrest, it can be used outdoors via an external audio input, increasing the product's versatility.
[0051] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 4 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 10 The speaker wiring harness 102 is provided with a wiring harness clip 1022 on its side away from the speaker body 101, wherein the wiring harness clip 1022 is inclined from bottom to top along the speaker wiring harness 102. Furthermore, an inner adapter groove 403 is provided on the inner side of the wiring harness adapter 4, and the wiring harness clip 1022 extends to the inner side of the wiring harness adapter 4 and engages with the inner adapter groove 403 to form a snap-fit connection. When the wiring harness clip 1022 is assembled from above the wiring harness adapter 4, the wiring harness clip 1022 deforms upon contact with the inner side of the wiring harness adapter 4. As the wiring harness clip 1022 passes through the inner adapter groove 403, the deformation of the wiring harness clip 1022 returns to its original shape, thereby allowing the wiring harness clip 1022 to engage with the inner adapter groove 403 to form a snap-fit connection.
[0052] In one optional embodiment of the invention, a wire harness insert 1021 is provided on the end of the speaker harness 102 away from the speaker body 101, and a wire harness socket 503 for inserting the wire harness insert 1021 is provided on the end of the seat harness assembly 5 near the wire harness adapter 4. The first locking portion 501 and the second locking portion 502 of the assembly are respectively arranged around the periphery of the wire harness socket 503. Therefore, after the seat harness assembly 5 is engaged with the wire harness adapter 4, the electrical connection between the speaker harness 102 and the seat harness assembly 5 can be completed simultaneously. This allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the speaker headrest (which includes the speaker assembly 1 and the headrest bracket 2) without the aid of any tools, while simultaneously considering both mechanical structure and electrical connection during assembly and disassembly, thereby improving the user experience.
[0053] This invention also provides a vehicle that may include a seat as described in any of the foregoing embodiments.
[0054] In summary, this invention discloses a seat and a vehicle. The seat may include a speaker assembly 1, a headrest bracket 2, a backrest frame 3, a wiring harness adapter 4, and a seat wiring harness assembly 5. The speaker assembly 1 includes a speaker body 101 and a speaker wiring harness 102 electrically connected to the speaker body 101. The headrest bracket 2 is fixed to the speaker body 101, and has a through hole 2021 for the speaker wiring harness 102 to pass through. The backrest frame 3 includes a conduit 301, and the headrest bracket 2 passes through the conduit 301. The wiring harness adapter 4 is located at the bottom of the conduit 301 and engages with the side of the headrest bracket 2 that extends out of the conduit 301. The wiring harness adapter 4 engages with the speaker wiring harness 102. The seat wiring harness assembly 5 engages with the wiring harness adapter 4, and forms an electrical connection with the speaker wiring harness 102 through this engagement. This allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the speaker headrest without the aid of any tools, improving the user experience.
