The plurality of elastic elements 5 are installed between the seat chassis 1 and the soft breathable device 6. The elastic elements 5 can support and buffer the soft breathable device 6. When a user sits on the soft breathable device 6, the user can rely on his own weight to compress the elastic elements 5, so that the soft breathable device 6 descends but maintains a certain safety distance from the seat chassis 1.

[0029] The micro motor 2 and the shaft mounting bracket 14 are mounted on the side panels of the seat chassis 1. The semiconductor module 3 is flat and has a rotating shaft on both sides. The driving output end of the micro motor 2 is connected to one side of the semiconductor module 3 through a coupling. The other side of the semiconductor module 3 is fixed in a rotating groove on the shaft mounting bracket 14. The micro motor 2 can be driven to rotate by the control system, thereby driving the semiconductor module 3 to rotate in a circle in the seat chassis 1. After the semiconductor module 3 is powered on, it can realize cooling on one side or heating on the other side.

[0030] A fan 8 is installed on the top of the seat chassis 1, a plurality of side air outlets 4 are provided, and the side air outlets 4 are opened on the side wall of the seat chassis 1. A plurality of temperature sensors 7 are provided, and the plurality of temperature sensors 7 are respectively installed around the seat chassis 1 and at the bottom of the soft breathable device 6. By providing the fan 8 and the side air outlets 4, the hot air or cold air generated by the semiconductor module 3 in the seat chassis 1 can be drawn to the soft breathable device 6 and blown to the passenger's buttocks through the air holes, thereby realizing the temperature adjustment function of the seat. Hot air or cold air can be blown from the side air outlets 4 to cool down or heat up the passenger's legs and feet, thereby providing the user with the best riding environment and improving the passenger comfort. By providing the temperature sensor 7, the temperature sensor 7 ensures the temperature of the semiconductor module 3 for cooling or heating, and the surrounding environment can be monitored in real time.

[0031] The electric telescopic device 13 is installed inside the backrest assembly 10, and the rotating motor 12 serves as an intermediate medium to connect the electric telescopic device 13 and the massager 11 in series. By setting the electric telescopic device 13 and the rotating motor 12, on the one hand, the electric telescopic device 13 is controlled to realize the vertical lifting and lowering of the massager 11 to play the back-beating function. On the other hand, the rotating motor 12 can be controlled to rotate, driving the massager 11 to rotate accordingly, thereby achieving the rotational massage function. The manipulator 9 is set on the seat chassis 1. By setting the manipulator 9, the manipulator 9 can control the temperature of the semiconductor module 3 and the operating state of the massager 11, and has strong flexibility and controllability.

[0032] The surface of the massager 11 is in the shape of circular protrusions. By providing the circular protrusions on the surface of the massager 11, a comfortable feeling and a concave-convex feeling are given when the massager 11 contacts the user's back.

[0033] The present invention also provides a control system for a temperature-variable seat, the control system comprising a detection module 100, a seat temperature adjustment module 200 and a massage module 300;

[0034] The detection module 100 includes a visual detection unit 110, a temperature detection unit 120 and an information interconnection unit 130, the seat temperature adjustment module 200 includes an automatic adjustment unit 210 and a manual adjustment unit 220, and the massage module 300 includes a mode control unit 310. By setting the detection module 100, the seat temperature adjustment module 200 and the massage module 300, the detection module 100 composed of the visual detection unit 110, the temperature detection unit 120 and the information interconnection unit 130 can combine the temperature detection and visual detection in the vehicle, perform real-time monitoring and information interconnection of the surrounding environment and passenger characteristics, and realize automatic adjustment of the seat temperature of different objects in different areas. The seat temperature adjustment module 200 composed of the automatic adjustment unit 210 and the manual adjustment unit 220 can facilitate automatic / manual adjustment of the seat temperature.

[0035] When the bus is running, the visual detection unit 110 in the detection module 100 can detect the status inside the bus and determine whether there are passengers in a certain area. When there are no passengers, the visual detection unit 110 monitors in real time. When it is identified that there are passengers in a certain area and the characteristics of the passengers are deeply identified, including the elderly, children, pregnant women, young men and women, etc., the seat temperature adjustment module 200 can adjust the temperature according to scientific theories and the characteristics of the passengers based on the temperature detection of the temperature detection unit 120, including ABC, and the three temperature values ​​corresponding to cold climate and hot climate are different. This can create the best temperature environment for the passengers. At the same time, the massager 11 is controlled to run synchronously to massage the passengers. The default massage mode is that both back beating and rotation are turned on. When the ambient temperature makes the passenger feel uncomfortable, the passenger can manually adjust the temperature and the operation mode of the massager 11 according to the manipulator 9 on the seat, including single back beating, single rotation, etc.

[0036] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
