[0002] Currently, due to the increasing demand for long-distance travel and camping, many large SUVs have introduced a double bed mode so that users can lie down and rest during their travels.
[0003] However, in the current automotive industry, reclining and sleeping functions are typically achieved in the following ways: 1. Removing the headrests from the first-row seats, folding down the backrests, and connecting the backrests with the second-row seats to form a bed; 2. Folding the third-row seat backrests forward and then rotating them together with the second-row seats to form a bed; 3. Folding down the backrests of both the second and third-row seats and then connecting them with the trunk floor to form a bed.

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a deformable seat includes a base 1, a seat cushion assembly 2 disposed on the base 1, and a backrest assembly 3 disposed at the rear end of the seat cushion assembly 2, wherein the front end of the seat cushion assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1. Figure 4 As can be seen, the backrest assembly 3 has a front backrest 31 and a rear backrest 32 arranged in an overlapping manner. The lower part of the front backrest 31 is connected to the base 1 by a transmission mechanism A, which can flip back and forth. The rear backrest 32 can flip backward relative to the front backrest 31 to a horizontal state. The seat can be transformed from a sitting position to a reclining position. In the sitting position, the seat cushion assembly 2 is supported on the base 1 at a near-parallel angle, and the backrest assembly 3 is tilted and supported at the rear end of the seat cushion assembly 2; see reference. Figure 2 In the lying position, the seat cushion assembly 2 flips forward relative to the base 1 to a horizontal position. The front backrest 31 flips forward under the drive of the transmission mechanism A to be flush with the rear end of the seat cushion assembly 2. The rear backrest 32 flips backward relative to the front backrest 31 to a horizontal position. At this point, the seat cushion assembly 2, the front backrest 31 and the rear backrest 32 are connected to form a bed.
[0034] Based on the above structural design, and referring to Figure 9 and 10In the seated position, the front backrest 31 and rear backrest 32 overlap. When the user needs to lie down and rest, the front end of the seat cushion assembly 2 rotates 180 degrees forward around the base 1, so that the bottom of the seat cushion assembly 2 faces upward. Then, driven by the transmission mechanism A, the overlapping front backrest 31 and rear backrest 32 rotate forward as a whole, with the upper end of the front backrest 31 flush with the rear end of the rotated seat cushion assembly 2. Then, the rear backrest 32 rotates backward relative to the front backrest 31 to a horizontal position. At this point, the seat cushion assembly 2, front backrest 31, and rear backrest 32 are connected to form a bed. By manually or electrically rotating the seat cushion assembly 2, front backrest 31, and rear backrest 32, the seat can be converted into an independent bed, which has the advantages of convenient operation and high flatness after conversion, improving the overall intelligence of the vehicle. At the same time, the backrest adopts a double-layer structure design. By unfolding the rear backrest 32 backward to a horizontal position, the support area of the bed can be expanded, ensuring sufficient support length, thus accommodating users of different body types.
[0035] The following details an implementation structure for electrically controlling the transformation of a seat into a bed.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and 4 A front connecting rod B1 and a rear connecting rod B2 are provided between the seat cushion assembly 2 and the base 1. The upper and lower ends of the front connecting rod B1 are rotatably connected to the front end of the seat cushion assembly 2 and the base 1, respectively, and the upper and lower ends of the rear connecting rod B2 are rotatably connected to the rear end of the seat cushion assembly 2 and the base 1, respectively. A locking assembly C is provided at the position corresponding to the rotatable connection with the rear connecting rod B2 on the seat cushion assembly 2. The locking assembly C allows the seat cushion assembly 2 to switch between being rotatably connected to the rear connecting rod B2 and being disconnected. A locking assembly D is provided between the front connecting rod B1 and the base 1. The locking assembly D allows the front connecting rod B1 to switch between being rotatably connected to the base 1 and being fixedly connected. An actuator 4 is provided between the seat cushion assembly 2 and the front connecting rod B1. The actuator 4 is used to drive the seat cushion assembly 2 to rotate relative to the front connecting rod B1. In this embodiment, the actuator 4 is an electric angle adjuster. The rotation of the seat cushion assembly 2 relative to the front connecting rod B1 can be driven by controlling the electric angle adjuster with a motor.
[0037] Based on this, when the seat is in a seated position, the locking assembly C keeps the rear end of the seat cushion assembly 2 rotatably connected to the upper end of the rear link B2, and the locking assembly D keeps the lower end of the front link B1 rotatably connected to the base 1. At this time, under the self-locking action of the actuator 4, the front link B1, the base 1, the rear link B2, and the seat cushion assembly 2 form a stable four-bar linkage, and the seat cushion assembly 2 can be stably supported on the base 1. In addition, the seat cushion assembly 2 also has an independent forward movement function. In the seated position, the actuator 4 drives the seat cushion assembly 2 to rotate relative to the front link B1, which drives the four-bar linkage to move, thereby realizing the forward movement adjustment of the seat cushion assembly 2, freeing up space under the backrest assembly 3 for angle adjustment of the backrest, and improving the user's seating comfort. When the seat needs to be transformed into a bed, the locking assembly C disconnects the seat cushion assembly 2 from the rear link B2. Under the drive of the driver 4, the rear end of the seat cushion assembly 2 can move upward away from the upper end of the rear link B2, so that the seat cushion assembly 2 can flip forward and flatten around the front link B1. At the same time, the locking assembly D fixes the lower end of the front link B1 to the base 1, ensuring that the front link B1 is in a stable support state, thereby providing strong support for the flipping of the seat cushion assembly 2 and ensuring the feasibility of forming a bed.
[0038] Further, refer to Figure 7 and 8 A pin d is fixedly provided at the upper end of the rear connecting rod B2, and the pin d extends along the width direction of the seat cushion assembly 2. In this embodiment, the locking assembly C adopts a floor lock structure, which includes a base C3 fixedly disposed at the rear end of the seat cushion assembly 2, a locking hook C1 rotatably disposed on the base C3, and an unlocking component C2 for controlling the rotation of the locking hook C1. In the locked state, the locking hook C1 loops around the pin d, so that the pin d remains rotatably connected to the rear end of the seat cushion assembly 2; when unlocked, the unlocking component C2 pulls the locking hook C1 to rotate, the locking hook C1 releases the pin d, and the rear end of the seat cushion assembly 2 can move upward away from the pin d. Floor locks are a mature technology in the field of automotive seat technology, and will not be described in detail here.
[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the base 1 is equipped with a retaining mechanism F. When the upper end of the rear link B2 is disconnected from the seat cushion assembly 2, the retaining mechanism F can keep the rear link B2 locked relative to the base 1. With this design, after the locking assembly C is unlocked, when the rear end of the seat cushion assembly 2 flips forward away from the rear link B2, the rear link B2 can be held in the designed position under the action of the retaining mechanism F. When the seat returns to the sitting position, the seat cushion assembly 2 flips from front to back, and the rear end of the seat cushion assembly 2 can return to the position connected to the locking assembly C, so as to ensure that the locking assembly C can accurately lock the pin d.
[0040] Furthermore, combined Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the retaining mechanism F includes a first gear F1 and a second gear F2 rotatably mounted on the base 1. The lower end of the front connecting rod B1 is provided with a first arc-shaped tooth a that meshes with the first gear F1, and the lower end of the rear connecting rod B2 is provided with a second arc-shaped tooth b that meshes with the second gear F2. The lower end of the first gear F1 has a downwardly extending first extension F11, and the lower end of the second gear F2 has a downwardly extending second extension F21. A synchronizing rod F3 is provided between the lower parts of the first extension F11 and the second extension F21, and the two ends of the synchronizing rod F3 are rotatably connected to the lower parts of the first extension F11 and the second extension F21, respectively. With this design, when the seat transforms into a bed, the locking assembly D fixes the lower end of the front link B1 to the base 1. Specifically, the first arc-shaped tooth a at the lower end of the front link B1 is fixedly engaged with the first gear F1. Under the synchronous action of the synchronizing rod F3, the second arc-shaped tooth b at the lower end of the rear link B2 is also fixedly engaged with the second gear F2, thus locking the rear link B2 relative to the base 1. On the other hand, when the seat is in a seated position, the locking assembly D keeps the lower end of the front link B1 rotatably connected to the base 1. The driver 4 drives the seat cushion assembly 2 to rotate around the front link B1, which in turn drives the lower end of the front link B1 to rotate. This rotation drives the first gear F1 to rotate around the base 1. Under the synchronous transmission of the synchronizing rod F3, this sequentially drives the second gear F2 and the lower end of the rear link B2 to rotate, thereby achieving the forward movement of the seat cushion assembly 2.
[0041] In the above structural design, the function of the retaining mechanism F is as follows: 1. After the locking component C is unlocked, the seat assembly 2 flips forward. Under the action of the retaining mechanism F, the rear linkage B2 remains stationary, ensuring that when the seat assembly 2 flips back to a horizontal state, the locking component C can accurately engage with the pin d. 2. In the sitting posture mode, when the driver 4 drives the seat assembly 2 to move forward for adjustment, the retaining mechanism F, using the above transmission structure, will not affect the four-bar linkage composed of the front linkage B1, base 1, rear linkage B2, and seat assembly 2, thus ensuring that the seat assembly 2 can achieve the forward and backward adjustment function. 3. Through the meshing self-locking action between gears, in the locked state, the stability of the fixed support of the front linkage B1 and rear linkage B2 can be improved; in the unlocked state, through gear transmission, it has the technical advantages of high transmission efficiency and high motion precision.
[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a torsion spring 8 is provided between the lower end of the rear connecting rod B2 and the base 1. The torsion spring 8 can eliminate the gap between the lower end of the rear connecting rod B2 and the base 1, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure.
[0043] Reference Figure 5The locking assembly D includes a locking bracket D11, a locking rod D12 located above the locking bracket D11, and a zipper D13 connecting the locking bracket D11 and the locking rod D12. The locking bracket D11 is fixedly mounted on the base 1. The lower end of the front connecting rod B1 is rotatably connected to the locking bracket D11, and the middle part of the locking rod D12 is hinged to the front connecting rod B1. One end of the locking bracket D11 has a notch e, and one end of the locking rod D12 has a downwardly extending latching part f, which conforms to the notch e. When the locking assembly D is locked, the latching part f of the locking rod D12 latches downward onto the notch e. At this time, the locking bracket D11, the locking rod D12, and the front connecting rod B1 form a stable triangular frame, and the front connecting rod B1 can be fixedly supported on the base 1. When unlocking, the controller can be used to pull the locking lever D12 downward by controlling the pull lock D13. The locking part f can move upward away from the notch e. At this time, the lower end of the front connecting rod B1 can maintain a rotatable connection with the base 1.
[0044] In this embodiment, the front link B1, the rear link B2, the pin d, the locking assembly C, and the retaining mechanism F are each provided in two sets, and they correspond one to one. The two sets of front links B1 are located at the front ends of both sides of the seat assembly 2, and the two sets of rear links B2 are located at the rear ends of both sides of the seat assembly 2. The locking assembly D is located inside one of the front links B1.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 The transmission mechanism A includes a first connecting rod A1 and a second connecting rod A2 arranged on the side of the front backrest 31. The upper end of the first connecting rod A1 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the front backrest 31, and the lower end is hinged to the base 1. The upper end of the second connecting rod A2 is hinged to the lower end of the front backrest 31, and the lower end of the second connecting rod A2 is hinged to the base 1. Figure 1 As can be seen, an angle adjustment mechanism 5 is provided between the front backrest 31 and the upper end of the first connecting rod A1. The angle adjustment mechanism 5 can drive the front backrest 31 to rotate back and forth around the upper end of the first connecting rod A1. In the sitting position, the angle adjustment mechanism 5 drives the front backrest 31 to rotate within a small range, which can realize the angle adjustment of the backrest. When the seat is folded into a bed, the angle adjustment mechanism 5 can drive the front backrest 31 to tilt forward and flatten around the upper end of the first connecting rod A1 (see reference). Figure 6 At this point, the support of the two links enables the front backrest 31 to be stably kept in a horizontal state.
[0046] Revisit Figure 4 and 6In this embodiment, the first link A1 and the second link A2 are arranged from front to back. In the height direction of the side of the front backrest 31, the rotation center of the upper end of the first link A1 is located above the rotation center of the upper end of the second link A2. To avoid interference between the movement of the first link A1 and the second link A2, the upper part of the first link A1 has an arc-shaped structure. Considering this, the first link A1, the base 1, the second link A2 and the front backrest 31 form a four-bar linkage. During the process of the angle adjustment mechanism 5 driving the front backrest 31 to flip forward and flatten around the upper end of the first link A1, the upper end of the second link A2 can pull the lower end of the front backrest 31 to move backward. The basis for this design is that the design length of the seat cushion is usually less than the length of the backrest. When the seat cushion assembly 2 is flipped forward, the space between the rear end of the seat cushion assembly 2 and the front backrest 31 is less than the length of the front backrest 31. Therefore, during the forward flipping process of the front backrest 31, the upper end of the second link A2 pulls the lower end of the front backrest 31 to move backward, which can ensure that the flipping of the front backrest 31 is not interfered with, and the front backrest 31 can be connected to the rear end of the seat cushion assembly 2.
[0047] In this embodiment, there are two sets of first link A1 and two sets of second link A2, which correspond one to one. The two sets of first link A1 are located on both sides of the front backrest 31 in the width direction.
[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, a flipping drive mechanism E is provided between the front backrest 31 and the rear backrest 32, which can drive the rear backrest 32 to flip backward relative to the front backrest 31, so that when the seat is transformed into a bed, the rear backrest 32 can automatically flip backward relative to the front backrest 31 to a horizontal state.
[0049] Furthermore, for example Figure 3 As shown, the flipping drive mechanism E includes a drive assembly, a fixed gear E1 fixedly mounted at the rear end of the front backrest 31, and a revolving gear E2 disposed at the rear end of the rear backrest 32. Here, "rear end" refers to the orientation of the front backrest 31 and the rear backrest 32 in their forward-folded-flat state. The revolving gear E2 is engaged with the fixed gear E1. The drive assembly can drive the revolving gear E2 to rotate circumferentially around the fixed gear E1, thereby causing the rear backrest 32 to flip backward around the rear end of the front backrest 31 to a horizontal state. After flipping, the upper side of the rear backrest 32 is flush with the upper side of the front backrest 31, ensuring the flatness of the surfaces of the rear backrest 32 and the front backrest 31 after the rear backrest 32 is unfolded.
[0050] For details, please refer to the following: Figure 3The drive assembly includes a driver E4 and a retainer E3 rotatably connected between the rear ends of the front backrest 31 and the rear backrest 32. The two ends of the retainer E3 are respectively rotatably sleeved on the axis of the planetary gear E2 and the fixed gear E1. The driver E4 is used to drive the retainer E3 to rotate around its rotation center with the front backrest 31, thereby driving the planetary gear E2 to rotate around the fixed gear E1 in a circumferential direction, thereby enabling the rear backrest 32 to flip backward relative to the front backrest 31 to a horizontal state.
[0051] In this embodiment, there are two sets of fixed gears E1, revolving gears E2 and retainers E3, which correspond one to one. In the sitting position, the two sets of fixed gears E1 are fixed on both sides of the lower end of the front backrest 31, and the two sets of revolving gears E2 are rotatably set on both sides of the lower end of the rear backrest 32.
[0052] Please refer to Figure 4 and 6 The upper end of the front backrest 31 is equipped with a headrest 6 that can fold forward. The front backrest 31 is equipped with a drive mechanism H, which can drive the headrest 6 to rotate back and forth relative to the upper end of the front backrest 31. During the transformation of the seat into a bed, the drive mechanism H drives the headrest 6 to fold forward 90 degrees, which can prevent the front backrest 31 from interfering with the seat cushion assembly 2 during the forward flipping process. At the same time, after the front backrest 31 is folded forward and flattened, the headrest 6 can contact the vehicle floor, providing strong support for the front end of the front backrest 31, further improving the reliability and stability of the seat bed structure.
[0053] Combination Figure 9 and 10 As shown, a cover plate 7 is rotatably installed on the upper back side of the front backrest 31. After the front backrest 31 is folded forward and connected to the seat cushion assembly 2, the cover plate 7 can rotate forward to cover the gap between the seat cushion assembly 2 and the front backrest 31, ensuring that the surface of the bed is simple and flat and improving the overall aesthetics of the seat.
[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
