DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0061] The application will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are intended to be illustrative only and are not limiting of the application. In addition, it should be noted that, for the sake of brevity, only the portions of the drawings that are necessary for an understanding of the application will be described.

[0062] It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments in the present application can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0063] Reference should be made to Figures 1-2 A structure diagram of a seat ventilation system provided by the present application, comprising:

[0064] A fan mechanism, the fan mechanism having an air inlet 1 for absorbing air volume and an air outlet 2 for discharging air volume;

[0065] A first connecting piece 3, the first connecting piece 3 having a first connecting port 31 and a second connecting port 32 in communication with the first connecting port 31 (for reference Figure 9The first connecting piece 3 has an air inlet position and an air outlet position; when the first connecting piece 3 is switched to the air inlet position, the first connecting port 31 is in communication with the air inlet port 1; when the first connecting piece 3 is switched to the air outlet position, the first connecting port 31 is in communication with the air outlet port 2;

[0066] At least one driving mechanism, which is connected with the first connecting piece 3, is used to drive the first connecting piece 3 to switch to the air inlet position or the air outlet position;

[0067] The second connecting piece 4 is a foldable structure, and a first end of the second connecting piece 4 is in communication with the second connecting port 32;

[0068] A seat ventilation structure, which is in communication with a second end of the second connecting piece 4, is used for seat ventilation.

[0069] It can be understood that when the first connecting piece 3 is in the air inlet position, the first connecting port 31 is in communication with the air inlet port 1, so that the air flow in the seat ventilation structure flows from the air inlet port 1 to the fan mechanism and is discharged from the air outlet port 2; when the first connecting piece 3 is in the air outlet position, the first connecting port 31 is in communication with the air outlet port 2, so that the air flow in the fan mechanism flows to the seat ventilation structure;

[0070] In the prior art, a ventilation function is usually integrated on a seat, and a ventilation mechanism is used to blow air to the surface of the seat or suck air from the surface of the seat to achieve cooling and air circulation. However, in the blowing mode, it is easy to blow the cold and wet air to the human body, and the human body is prone to discomfort in the waist and back after long-term use; in the sucking mode, the cooling efficiency is low, and it takes a long time to achieve the cooling effect; a single fan cannot be arranged in the blowing and sucking modes at the same time.

[0071] Therefore, the present application discloses a seat ventilation system which first discards the traditional ventilation mode (i.e., the single blowing and sucking mode), and combines the blowing and sucking modes, so that the fan can perform the sucking process to discharge the cold and wet air, and then perform the blowing process to avoid the discomfort of the human body; secondly, the structure is optimized, so that the fan has the functions of sucking and blowing, and has the advantages of simple structure, low space occupancy and convenient control.

[0072] The working principle of the seat ventilation system provided in the present application is as follows:

[0073] The first connecting piece 3 is switched to the air inlet position by controlling the driving mechanism, at this time, the first connecting port 31 is in communication with the air inlet port 1, as shown in FIG. 2; Figure 11 、 Figure 14 、 Figure 19As shown in the figure; turn on the fan mechanism, the system switches to the air suction mode, that is, the air from the seat surface close to the human body (the surface of the seat in contact with the human body) is sequentially introduced into the first connecting port 31 along the seat ventilation structure, the second connecting member 4, and then discharged to the seat surface away from the human body through the first connecting member 3, the air inlet 1, the fan mechanism, and the air outlet 2.

[0074] By controlling the driving mechanism to drive the first connecting member 3 to switch to the air outlet station, at this time the first connecting port 31 is in communication with the air outlet 2, as shown in the figure. Figure 10 、 Figure 13 、 Figure 18 As shown in the figure; turn on the fan mechanism, the system switches to the air suction mode, that is, the air from the seat surface close to the human body (the surface of the seat in contact with the human body) is sequentially introduced into the first connecting port 31 along the seat ventilation structure, the second connecting member 4, and then discharged to the seat surface away from the human body through the first connecting member 3, the air inlet 1, the fan mechanism, and the air outlet 2.

[0075] Among them, the second connecting member 4 is arranged as a foldable structure, thereby ensuring that the first connecting member 3 realizes stable switching when switching between stations.

[0076] As can be seen from the above, the use of a single fan in the system realizes both blowing and air suction modes, that is, by the cooperation of the fan mechanism, the first connecting member 3, the second connecting member 4, the driving mechanism, and the seat ventilation structure, the air path relationship between the fan mechanism input and output to the seat ventilation structure is switched, and only one fan mechanism is needed to realize the air suction and blowing functions, which is simple in structure, low in space occupancy, and easy to control.

[0077] More importantly, the seat ventilation system combines the air suction mode and the air blowing mode, can first extract the wet and cold air, and then blow the air; on the basis of improving the air circulation between the seat surface and the human body, reduces the influence of the wet and cold air on the human body, avoids the human body (especially the waist and back) from being uncomfortable, and improves the comfort of the passenger. In the above process, the system can also be controlled to continuously switch between the air suction mode and the air blowing mode (control the first connecting member 3 to continuously switch between the air inlet station and the air outlet station), further avoiding the wet and cold air from being immersed in the human body for a long time.

The plurality of connecting units 41 are sequentially hinged at the head and tail (as shown in the figure). Figure 3As shown), this forms a chain air duct between the various air ducts, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of air in both workstation states and during the switching process; furthermore, the first end of the connecting unit 41 is provided with a first interface 42 for connecting to the second connecting port 32, and the second end of the connecting unit 41 is provided with a second interface 43 for connecting to the seat ventilation structure.
