[0028] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0031] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features limited to "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, if "and / or" or "and / or" appears in the full text, its meaning includes three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, solution B, or solutions that satisfy both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0032] With the development of the automobile industry, more and more models are equipped with zero-gravity seats, which continuously improve the riding experience of users. However, the zero-gravity reclining mode often requires a larger interior space to achieve. In the related technology, due to the convexity of the side trim at the rear wheel cover, the interior space becomes smaller, which affects the rearward sliding travel of the zero-gravity seat and is not convenient for the zero-gravity seat to be deployed.

[0033] In the related art, the influence of the convex side trim at the rear wheel arch is usually avoided by reducing the width of the zero-gravity seat, but reducing the width of the zero-gravity seat will also reduce its comfort.

[0034] The main purpose of the present invention is to propose a vehicle seat structure and a vehicle, aiming to at least solve the technical problem in the related art that the convexity of the side trim at the rear wheel cover will cause the space inside the vehicle to become smaller, affect the rearward sliding stroke of the zero-gravity seat, and make it inconvenient to unfold the zero-gravity seat.

[0035] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle seat structure 100 includes a vehicle floor 1 and a seat assembly, the seat assembly includes a first row of seats 2 and a second row of seats 3 arranged on the vehicle floor 1 along a first direction, the second row of seats 3 include two adjustable seats 31 arranged along a second direction, the adjustable seats 31 can be movably arranged along the first direction relative to the vehicle floor 1, and at least one of the two adjustable seats 31 can be movably arranged along the second direction relative to the other.

[0036] In the technical solution of the present invention, the seat assembly includes a row of seats 2 and a second row of seats 3 arranged on the vehicle floor 1 along a first direction, and the second row of seats 3 include two adjustable seats 31 arranged along a second direction, and the adjustable seats 31 can be movably arranged along the first direction relative to the vehicle floor 1, and at least one of the two adjustable seats 31 can be movably arranged along the second direction relative to the other; with such an arrangement, before the adjustable seats 31 need to be adjusted to the unfolded state, at least one of the adjustable seats 31 is operated to move along the second direction toward the other, so that the overall size of the second row of seats 3 in the second direction is smaller, that is, the influence of the convex side trim at the rear wheel cover on the space can be reduced, thereby ensuring the movable range of the adjustable seats 31 along the first direction and facilitating unfolding.

[0037] The row of seats 2 includes a driver's seat and a co-driver's seat.

[0038] It should be noted that the adjustable seat 31 refers to a car seat in which the leg support and / or backrest can be adjusted to an unfolded position so that the user can lie down, thereby improving riding comfort; the adjustable seat 31 can have only the leg support adjustable, or only the backrest adjustable, or both the leg support and the backrest adjustable; for example, the adjustable seat 31 can be an aviation seat, whose leg support and backrest are both adjustable.

[0039] In order to realize that the two adjustable seats 31 can move relative to the vehicle floor 1 in a first direction and in a second direction, in the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 2 The seat assembly further includes a first slide rail 4 and a second slide rail 5, wherein the first slide rail 4 is arranged on the vehicle floor 1 and extends in the first direction, and the second slide rail 5 is slidably arranged on the first slide rail 4 in the first direction and extends in the second direction; both of the two adjustable seats 31 move relative to the vehicle floor 1 in the first direction through the first slide rail 4, and at least one of them is slidably arranged on the second slide rail 5. In this embodiment, at least one of the adjustable seats 31 is arranged on the second slide rail 5, that is, it can move relative to the second slide rail 5, thereby changing the spacing between the two adjustable seats 31, so that the size of the entire second row of seats 3 in the second direction can be reduced; at the same time, the second slide rail 5 is slidably arranged on the first slide rail 4, so that the second slide rail 5 itself can move in the first direction, thereby driving the adjustable seat 31 to move in the first direction to move away from the first row of seats 2, thereby facilitating the unfolding of the adjustable seat 31; as for the other adjustable seat 31, it can be movably arranged in the second direction, or it can be kept fixed relative to the vehicle floor 1.

[0040] The first direction is the length direction of the vehicle, and the second direction is the width direction of the vehicle.

[0041] The present design is not limited to this. In another embodiment, the second slide rail 5 can be directly set on the vehicle floor 1, and the first slide rail 4 is set on the second slide rail 5, and the adjustable seat 31 is set on the corresponding first slide rail 4. The first slide rail 4 realizes movement in the second direction through the second slide rail 5, thereby driving the adjustable seat 31 to move in the second direction; if only one adjustable seat 31 moves along the second direction, one of the first slide rails 4 is slidably set on the second slide rail 5, and the other first slide rail 4 is fixed on the second slide rail 5. If both of the adjustable seats 31 can move along the second direction, both of the first slide rails 4 can be slidably set on the second slide rail 5 along the second direction.

[0042] It should be noted that the number of the first slide rail 4 can be one or more. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the number of the first slide rails 4 corresponding to each of the adjustable seats 31 is set to be multiple, so as to improve the sliding stability of the adjustable seats 31; similarly, the number of the second slide rails 5 corresponding to each of the adjustable seats 31 can also be set to one or multiple.

[0043] The sliding and locking between the first slide rail 4 and the second slide rail 5 can be achieved by a manual locking structure or an automatic linear drive structure. The automatic one is more convenient to use, while the manual one is less expensive. You can choose one according to your needs during actual design. Similarly, the sliding and locking between the adjustable seat 31 and the second slide rail 5 can also be manual or automatic. The locking structure is a well-known prior art in the technical field, and this application does not limit it.

[0044] As can be seen from the above, as long as one of the adjustable seats 31 can move along the second direction, the size of the entire second row of seats 3 in the second direction can be reduced before the adjustable seat 31 is unfolded; but if only one of the adjustable seats 31 can move along the second direction, for example, one of the two adjustable seats 31 is slidably set on the second slide rail 5, and the other is fixed on the second slide rail 5 or directly slidably set on the first slide rail 4, but this will cause certain differences in the skeleton structure of the two adjustable seats 31, which is more troublesome during production. Therefore, in this embodiment, the two adjustable seats 31 are both slidably set on the second slide rail 5. Such a setting allows the skeletons of the two adjustable seats 31 to be set the same, which reduces the cost during production. When in use, through the movement of the two adjustable seats 31 along the second direction, the two adjustable seats 31 move relatively to get closer, thereby reducing the size in the second direction.

[0045] For some vehicles, it is not limited to only the first row of seats 2 and the second row of seats 3, but also includes three rows of seats 6 or more seats; when the two adjustable seats 31 slide along the second direction through the second slide rail 5, the two adjustable seats 31 may share one second slide rail 5, or the two adjustable seats 31 may respectively realize the movement in the second direction through two second slide rails 5. It can be understood that if the two adjustable seats 31 share one second slide rail 5 for sliding, it means that the second slide rail 5 will also exist in the gap between the two adjustable seats 31. Since the second slide rail 5 is arranged on the first slide rail 4, that is, the second slide rail 5 will protrude from the vehicle floor 1, when the user moves from the gap between the two adjustable seats 31 to the third row of seats 6, the second slide rail 5 may be tied to the user, causing inconvenience to the user. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the seat assembly also includes a third row of seats 6 arranged on the side of the second row of seats 3 away from the first row of seats 2, the second slide rail 5 is set to two, and the two adjustable seats 31 are respectively slidably arranged on the two second slide rails 5. With such an arrangement, when both of the adjustable seats 31 can be movably arranged along the second direction, it is achieved through the two second slide rails 5, that is, the second slide rail 5 does not exist in the gap between the two adjustable seats 31, making it convenient for the user to move from the gap between the two to the three-row seat 6.

[0046] When the adjustable seat 31 is unfolded, it moves in the direction approaching the three-row seat 6, that is, the existence of the three-row seat 6 may affect the sliding stroke of the adjustable seat 31 along the first direction, thereby hindering the unfolding of the adjustable seat 31. In order to reduce the influence of the three-row seat 6 on the adjustable seat 31, in an embodiment of the present invention, the three-row seat 6 can be movably arranged along the first direction relative to the vehicle floor 1, that is, the three-row seat 6 can move in the direction approaching or away from the second-row seat 3. Before unfolding the adjustable seat 31, the three-row seat 6 can be adjusted to move in the direction away from the second-row seat 3, thereby providing more sufficient space for the unfolding of the adjustable seat 31, so as to reduce the influence of the three-row seat 6 on the adjustable seat 31.

[0047] The three rows of seats 6 can move in the first direction through a separately arranged slide rail. In an embodiment of the present invention, the three rows of seats 6 are slidably arranged on the first slide rail 4. In this way, the three rows of seats 6 can move in the first direction through the first slide rail 4, and there is no need to set up a separate slide rail. This makes production and installation easier.

[0048] This design does not limit the specific form of the three-row seat 6. Figure 1and attached Figure 3 As shown, there are three rows of seats 6 . Of course, there may also be two or more rows of seats 6 .

[0049] It is understandable that when the adjustable seats 31 are deployed, they are usually used when no one is in the three rows of seats 6. When the user needs to deploy the adjustable seats 31, the user needs to first slide the three rows of seats 6 in a direction away from the two rows of seats 3, then slide the two adjustable seats 31 in the second direction until they are close together, and then slide the two adjustable seats 31 in the first direction to a suitable position, and finally deploy the adjustable seats 31, especially when the seats in the three rows of seats 6 are separately arranged. In order to simplify the entire process, in an embodiment of the present invention, the three rows of seats 6 are arranged in an integrated manner, that is, no matter whether the specific number of seats in the three rows of seats 6 is two or three, they are all arranged in an integrated manner. In this way, the overall sliding of the three rows of seats 6 can be achieved by one sliding, without the need for multiple sliding, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0050] In order to improve the comfort of the adjustable seat 31, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The two adjustable seats 31 are both provided with armrest side panels 311 on the opposite sides thereof. When a user sits on the adjustable seats 31 , the armrest side panels 311 can support the user's arms, thereby improving comfort.

[0051] Of course, the armrest side panel 311 may also be provided on one side opposite to the two adjustable seats 31 .

[0052] It is understandable that, when the width of the adjustable seat 31 itself remains unchanged, the provision of the armrest side panel 311 will undoubtedly increase the size of the second row seat 3 in the second direction, which may cause the armrest side panel 311 to collide with the rear wheel envelope 11 when the adjustable seat 31 moves in the first direction, affecting the deployment of the adjustable seat 31. In order to reduce the influence of the armrest side on the sliding stroke of the adjustable seat 31 in the first direction, in the embodiment of the present invention, the rear wheel envelope 11 is provided on the vehicle floor 1 at the position corresponding to the rear wheel cover; the armrest side panel 311 is concavely formed with an avoidance portion 3111 to avoid the rear wheel envelope 11 during its moving stroke in the first direction. In this way, when the adjustable seat 31 moves in the first direction, the rear wheel envelope 11 is avoided by the avoidance portion 3111, so that the sliding formation of the adjustable seat 31 in the first direction can be guaranteed, and at the same time, the width of the adjustable seat 31 does not need to be reduced, thereby ensuring its riding comfort.

[0053] The present invention also proposes a vehicle, which includes a vehicle seat structure 100. The specific structure of the vehicle seat structure 100 refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the vehicle adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here one by one.

[0054] In the technical solution of the present invention, the seat assembly includes a row of seats 2 and a second row of seats 3 arranged on the vehicle floor 1 along a first direction, and the second row of seats 3 include two adjustable seats 31 arranged along a second direction, and the adjustable seats 31 can be movably arranged along the first direction relative to the vehicle floor 1, and at least one of the two adjustable seats 31 can be movably arranged along the second direction relative to the other; with such an arrangement, before the adjustable seats 31 need to be adjusted to the unfolded state, at least one of the adjustable seats 31 is operated to move along the second direction toward the other, so that the overall size of the second row of seats 3 in the second direction is smaller, that is, the influence of the convex side trim at the rear wheel cover on the space can be reduced, thereby ensuring the movable range of the adjustable seats 31 along the first direction and facilitating unfolding.

[0055] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
