Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle seat headrest technology, and in particular to a vehicle seat headrest, a vehicle seat headrest control method, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Seat headrests have become a mandatory national standard, requiring all vehicle models to have headrests installed in both the front and rear seats. Strict regulations govern the material, strength, energy absorption, position, and size of these headrests. In a rear-end collision, the occupant's head is thrown backward instantly. Seat headrests effectively mitigate the impact of the collision, preventing neck injuries caused by excessive head tilting backward. Traditional headrests, while a safety feature, often neglect user comfort, resulting in poor comfort. Furthermore, varying head shapes and hairstyles among occupants can lead to inconsistent head positioning and discomfort with the headrest.

[0003] In order to solve this problem, various neck pillows and aftermarket soft pillows have emerged in related technologies. Although they have increased comfort to a certain extent, both neck pillows and soft pillows have increased the distance between the head and the real headrest, which undoubtedly increases the risk of neck injury in the event of a collision.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0035] The following is for reference. Figures 1-11 The present invention describes a vehicle seat headrest 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and also provides a control method for having the vehicle seat headrest 100, and a vehicle having the vehicle seat headrest 100.

[0036] Combination Figures 1-10 As shown, the vehicle seat headrest 100 of this embodiment includes: a headrest frame 1, a plurality of surface adjustment components 11, a reset component and a locking component. The headrest frame 1 has a headrest surface. The plurality of surface adjustment components 11 are movably disposed within the headrest frame 1. The reset component is disposed on one side of the plurality of surface adjustment components 11 and selectively abuts against the plurality of surface adjustment components 11. The locking component is disposed within the headrest frame 1.

[0037] Specifically, under normal circumstances, the vehicle seat headrest 100 can effectively alleviate the huge impact force on the occupant's head during a safety accident. By setting the second limiting plate 6, the surface adjustment component 11 can be prevented from moving excessively inward during a collision and failing to support the occupant's head, thereby preventing neck injury caused by excessive head tilting.

[0038] Specifically, the headrest frame 1 is covered with a skin, which looks the same as a regular headrest. Adjustments to the internal structure do not affect the overall appearance of the headrest frame 1. The headrest surface refers to the surface of the skin that contacts the occupant's head.

[0039] The shape adjustment component 11 forms an adjustable shape through one end face. In use, the occupant's head is placed against the headrest shape. When pressed by the force of the head, the shape adjustment component 11 will move inward to a certain extent. The distance of inward movement varies depending on the area in contact with the head. For example, the back of the head is generally arc-shaped. The center of the back of the head will cause the corresponding shape adjustment component 11 to move inward a larger distance, while the edge area of ​​the back of the head will cause the corresponding shape adjustment component 11 to move inward a smaller distance. This achieves a close fit between the head and the shape adjustment component 11. The locking component locks the shape adjustment component 11 in this state, so that the end of the shape adjustment component 11 forms a shape that is approximately the same as the shape of the head.

[0040] Specifically, the locking assembly includes: a first limiting plate 4, multiple snap-fit ​​pieces 5, and a second limiting plate 6. The profile adjustment assembly 11 passes through the first limiting plate 4. The multiple snap-fit ​​pieces 5 are disposed on one side of the first limiting plate 4, and the end of the snap-fit ​​piece 5 facing away from the first limiting plate 4 selectively engages with the profile adjustment assembly 11. The second limiting plate 6 is disposed on one side of the first limiting plate 4 and has multiple limiting holes. The multiple profile adjustment assemblies 11 correspond one-to-one with the multiple limiting holes, and the end of the snap-fit ​​piece 5 selectively engages within the limiting hole. That is, the snap-fit ​​piece 5 selectively engages with the end of the profile adjustment assembly 11. Specifically, when the second limiting plate 6 and the snap-fit ​​piece 5 engage, i.e., when the snap-fit ​​piece 5 engages within the limiting hole, the snap-fit ​​piece 5 is limited by the second limiting plate 6. At this time, the snap-fit ​​piece 5 is locked onto the profile adjustment assembly 11, thus preventing the profile adjustment assembly 11 from moving forward or backward. Furthermore, when the second limiting plate 6 does not engage with the snap-fit ​​member 5, that is, when the snap-fit ​​member 5 is not engaged within the limiting hole, the snap-fit ​​member 5 is in a free state, that is, the profile adjustment assembly 11 can move forward or backward.

[0041] The head shape of the occupants includes at least flat head and round head, and some occupants are female, who may have a bun, ponytail, or updo with a local protrusion on their head. By adjusting the shape adjustment component 11, a comfortable shape can be found so that the headrest shape can fit the occupant's head, improving support and comfort.

[0042] Therefore, by setting the structure of the adjustable components, a headrest shape that fits the occupant's head is formed, increasing the contact area between the head and the headrest. Regardless of the occupant's head shape or hairstyle, they can find a comfortable position by adjusting the shape adjustment components 11, which not only improves the safety of the occupant but also enhances the comfort of the head.

[0043] Among them, combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second limiting plate 6 has an unlocked position and a locked position. When the second limiting plate 6 is in the unlocked position, the end of the latching member 5 is positioned outside the limiting hole. When the second limiting plate 6 is in the locked position, the end of the latching member 5 is positioned inside the limiting hole. (Refer to...) Figure 6As shown, when the second limiting plate 6 is in the unlocked position, the second limiting plate 6 is away from the first limiting plate 4, that is, the second limiting plate 6 is disengaged from the profile adjustment assembly 11. At this time, the latching member 5 cannot be limited by the second limiting plate 6, so that the latching member 5 and the end of the profile adjustment assembly 11 cannot be locked. This allows the profile adjustment assembly 11 to move inward under force, or the profile adjustment assembly 11 can move outward under the abutment of the reset assembly, thereby resetting the profile adjustment assembly 11. Furthermore, when the second limiting plate 6 is in the locked position, since the latching member 5 is located inside the limiting hole, the latching member 5 is limited by the second limiting plate 6. This results in a limiting fit between the latching member 5 and the end of the profile adjustment assembly 11, thereby fixing the profile adjustment assembly 11. That is, it can maintain the state of the profile adjustment assembly 11 after it fits the head, which helps to maintain the headrest profile that matches the occupant's head and improve the comfort of the occupant's head.

[0044] Combination Figures 1-3 As shown, the profile adjustment assembly 11 includes a profile component 2 and a mating component 3. One end of the mating component 3 is fixedly connected to the profile component 2. A snap-fit ​​part 51 is provided at the end of the snap-fit ​​component 5 facing away from the first limiting plate 4. The other end of the mating component 3 selectively engages with the snap-fit ​​part 51 for limiting. Specifically, the profile component 2 is used to receive the force of the head. The head squeezes the profile component 2 and pushes the mating component 3 to move. By setting the mating component 3, the arrangement of the profile adjustment assembly 11 can be facilitated, and it is also convenient to cooperate with the locking assembly to lock and fix the profile adjustment assembly 11.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple profiled components 2 are arranged in an array, corresponding to the central or overall area of ​​the headrest profile. Specifically, the shape of the profiled components 2 is not limited to square, circular, or rhomboid shapes, and the material can be conventional materials such as plastic, metal, or rubber. By arranging the profiled components 2 in an array, it is beneficial to divide the size of the profiled components 2, which facilitates the uniform arrangement of the profiled adjustment components 11.

[0046] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the profile part 2 is detachably mounted on the mating part 3. Specifically, when the profile adjustment assembly 11 is damaged, the profile part 2 and the mating part 3 can be disassembled and separated, thereby reducing maintenance costs and facilitating maintenance and repair.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the engaging part 51 is a hook, and the mating part 3 is provided with multiple protrusions 31 spaced apart in the axial direction of the profile adjustment component 11. The hook and the protrusions 31 selectively engage. That is, when the engaging part 51 is located within the limiting hole, the engaging part 51 cannot open due to the restriction of the limiting hole; that is, the hook is engaged with the protrusion 31, thereby locking the profile adjustment component 11. And when the engaging part 51 is not located within the limiting hole, the hook opens and closes with the protrusions 31 as the profile adjustment component 11 moves forward or backward.

[0048] The device includes at least two hooks, which are located on both sides of the profile adjustment component 11. The profile adjustment component 11 has at least two protrusions 31 in the radial direction, with each hook and protrusion corresponding to the other. This arrangement provides protrusions 31 on both radial sides of the mating part 3, and at least two engaging parts 5. This allows each mating part 3 to be engaged by at least two engaging parts 5, improving the limiting stability of the mating part 3 and making the engaging parts 5 more stable when engaging with the mating part 3. This reduces friction between the mating part 3 and the second limiting plate 6, extending the service life of the vehicle seat headrest 100.

[0049] And, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the mating part 3 also includes a first limiting part 32 and a second limiting part 33. The first limiting part 32 is disposed at the other end of the mating part 3, and the second limiting part 33 is disposed at the end of the mating part 3 opposite to the first limiting part 32. The engaging part 51 selectively engages with either the first limiting part 32 or the second limiting part 33. Due to the size limitations of the vehicle seat headrest 100, the profile adjustment assembly 11 cannot move forward or backward without restriction. Specifically, when the reset assembly resets the profile adjustment assembly 11, the reset assembly abuts against the profile adjustment assembly 11, causing the profile adjustment assembly 11 to move forward. If the mating part 3 does not have the first limiting part 32, the profile adjustment assembly 11 will disengage from the second limiting plate 6, affecting the next use of the vehicle seat headrest 100. Furthermore, when a user needs to adjust the shape of the vehicle seat headrest 100, the user's head will press against the shape adjustment component 11, causing the shape adjustment component 11 to move backward. Without a second limiting part 33 on the mating part 3, on the one hand, the shape adjustment component 11 will continue to move backward, causing the vehicle seat headrest 100 to become too concave, affecting the user experience; on the other hand, because the backward movement of the shape adjustment component 11 is too large, the latching protrusion 31 cannot abut against the latching part 51, thus preventing the shape adjustment component 11 from being locked when the locking component is in the locked position. Therefore, by providing a first limiting part 32 and a second limiting part 33 on the shape adjustment component 11, the movement threshold of the shape adjustment component 11 can be limited, facilitating subsequent adjustment of the vehicle seat headrest 100.

[0050] Among them, reference Figure 1 As shown, the locking assembly further includes a first driving member 8, which is disposed below the second limiting plate 6. The first driving member 8 drives the second limiting plate 6 to move. With this configuration, when the second limiting plate 6 moves between the locked position and the unlocked position, the first driving member 8 can move the second limiting plate 6 away from or closer to the first limiting plate 4, thus enabling control of the locking assembly.

[0051] And, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the reset assembly includes a reset plate 7 and a second driving member 10. The second driving member 10 is located below the reset assembly and selectively drives the reset assembly and the profile adjustment assembly 11 to abut against each other. Specifically, when the profile adjustment assembly 11 needs to be reset by the reset assembly, the second driving member 10 will drive the reset plate 7 to move towards the side closer to the headrest profile. Here, the reset plate 7 can adopt a plate-like structure, and then push the tail of the profile adjustment assembly 11 through the plate surface to restore the formed head profile to a flat shape. This structural design facilitates the realization of the reset function.

[0052] Furthermore, a slide rail 9 is provided below the reset plate 7 and the second limiting plate 6, wherein the first driving member 8 and the second driving member 10 both slide within the slide rail 9, which facilitates the movement of the reset plate 7 and the second limiting plate 6. Also, the reset plate 7 and the second limiting plate 6 share the slide rail 9, which can save on the usage cost of the vehicle seat headrest 100.

[0053] The control method for adjusting the vehicle seat headrest 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0054] First, adjust the reset component to the initial position, and then adjust the second limiting plate 6 to the unlocked position. That is, first, the second limiting plate 6 is driven to the unlocked position by the first driving component 8, at which point the second limiting plate 6 cannot lock the profile adjustment component 11.

[0055] Next, the profile adjustment component 11, under pressure, moves backward until it can no longer move, and the end of the latching member 5 engages with the profile adjustment component 11. That is, when the user leans back, pressing the vehicle seat headrest 100, the pressure on the profile adjustment component 11 causes the engaging member 3 to move backward, and the end of the latching member 5 opens and closes with the latching protrusion 31 until the engaging member 3 no longer moves, and the latching member 5 returns to the closed state near the position of the latching protrusion 31.

[0056] Finally, the second limiting plate 6 is adjusted to the locked position, and the locking member 5 and the profile adjustment assembly 11 are engaged. That is, after the vehicle seat headrest 100 is adjusted to fit the user's head, the first driving member 8 drives the second limiting plate 6 to the locked position, at which point the profile adjustment assembly 11 is locked.

[0057] Combination Figures 7-10 This invention describes a control method for resetting the vehicle seat headrest 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0058] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the reset component is adjusted to the initial position, and the second limiting plate 6 is adjusted to the locked position. That is, the second limiting plate 6 is first driven to the unlocked position by the first driving member 8, at which point the second limiting plate 6 cannot lock the profile adjustment component 11.

[0059] Next, as Figure 9 As shown, the adjustment reset assembly moves toward the profile adjustment assembly 11. Under the pressure of the reset assembly, the profile adjustment assembly 11 moves toward the headrest profile until it returns to its initial state. That is, the second drive member 10 is activated, and the second drive member 10 drives the reset plate 7 to move toward the profile adjustment assembly 11. The reset plate 7 will abut against the profile adjustment assembly 11 and push the profile adjustment assembly 11 to the front. At this time, the first limiting part 32 and the locking part 51 on the profile adjustment assembly 11 abut against each other.

[0060] like Figure 10 As shown, the reset assembly returns to its initial position, the second limiting plate 6 is adjusted to the locking position, and the snap-fit ​​5 and the profile adjustment assembly 11 are locked in place. Thus, after the profile adjustment assembly 11 is reset, the second driving member 10 drives the reset assembly to its initial position, and the first driving member 8 drives the second limiting plate 6 to the locking position, at which point the profile adjustment assembly 11 is locked.

[0061] According to a third aspect of the present invention, a vehicle includes a vehicle seat headrest 100.
