[0051] The present invention also provides a vehicle, comprising the zero-gravity adaptive adjustable headrest.
[0052] Embodiment 1
[0053] First, as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a zero-gravity adaptive headrest, which is used to be installed on a seat on a vehicle that can achieve a zero-gravity state. The zero-gravity adaptive headrest includes a headrest body 1 arranged on a sliding mechanism, a guide mechanism arranged on the headrest body 1, a limiter 6 arranged on the sliding mechanism, and a gravity ball 7 movably arranged on the guide mechanism for limiting the limiter 6 when the headrest body 1 is in a first position. The gravity ball 7 is arranged to be separated from the limiter 6 so that the headrest body 1 can move downward from the first position to the second position.
[0054] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sliding mechanism mainly includes a guide rod 3 and a fixed base 2, a stopper 6 is installed on the fixed base 2, the fixed base 2 is installed on the seat back, the fixed base 2 is sleeved on the guide rod 3, the guide rod 3 is fixedly connected to the headrest body 1, the headrest body 1 is used for the head of the occupant in the car to lean on, when the headrest body 1 moves relative to the fixed base 2, the headrest body 1 can adjust the distance between the headrest body 1 and the seat back, in this process, the headrest body 1 drives the guide rod 3 to slide on the fixed base 2. The distance between the headrest body 1 and the seat back in the first position is greater than the distance between the headrest body 1 and the seat back in the second position.
[0055] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a guide groove 8 for guiding the gravity ball 7 to move is provided on the guide mechanism. The guide groove 8 is V-shaped, and includes a first groove and a second groove. The first groove and the second groove are connected, and there is an angle between the length direction of the first groove and the length direction of the second groove, and the angle is an obtuse angle. The first groove is located between the second groove and the headrest body 1. When the headrest body 1 is in the first position, the gravity ball 7 is located in the first groove, and the gravity ball 7 contacts the top of the stopper 6, which can prevent the headrest body 1 from moving downward, so that the headrest body 1 remains in the first position; when the seat back tilts backward, the gravity ball 7 can roll from the first groove to the second groove, and the gravity ball 7 is separated from the top of the stopper 6. At this time, the stopper 6 cannot prevent the headrest body 1 from moving downward, and the headrest body 1 can move downward under the action of its own gravity, and the headrest body 1 automatically moves from the first position (the headrest body 1 at this position is in an unlocked state) to the second position.
[0056] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the guide mechanism includes a guide element 4, which is connected to the headrest body 1, and a guide groove 8 is provided on the guide element 4. The guide element 4 is a V-shaped structure in the interior. The guide element 4 includes a first guide section and a second guide section, and there is an angle between the length direction of the first guide section and the length direction of the second guide section, and the angle is an obtuse angle, and the first guide section is located between the second guide section and the headrest body 1. One end of the first guide section in the length direction is fixedly connected to the headrest body 1, and the other end of the first guide section in the length direction is fixedly connected to one end of the second guide section in the length direction, and the other end of the second guide section in the length direction is a closed end, the first groove is provided inside the first guide section and the first groove extends along the entire length direction of the first guide section, the second groove is provided inside the second guide section and the second groove extends along the length direction of the second guide section, and the second guide section extends obliquely toward the rear and upper side of the first guide section.
[0057] Preferably, the headrest body 1 and the guide element 4 are both made of plastic, and the headrest body 1 and the guide element 4 are integrally injection-molded, which is convenient to process and low in cost.
[0058] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the guide mechanism also includes a cover plate 5 disposed on the guide element 4 and used to limit the gravity ball 7, and the cover plate 5 is tightly matched with the guide element 4. An opening is provided at one end of the guide element 4 in the width direction (the width direction of the guide element 4 is parallel to the length direction of the headrest body 1, and is vertical to the length direction of the guide rod 3 in space), and the other end of the guide element 4 in the width direction is a closed end. The cover plate 5 is used to close the open end of the guide element 4, so that the gravity ball 7 is kept in the guide groove 8, to prevent the gravity ball 7 from falling off, to improve reliability, and to facilitate installation. In addition, in the width direction, the gap between the gravity ball 7 and the closed end of the cover plate 5 and the guide element 4 is relatively small, so that the gravity ball 7 can accurately match the limiter 6.
[0059] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the cover plate 5 includes a first limiting portion and a second limiting portion connected to each other, the second limiting portion is embedded in the guide groove 8, the first limiting portion is located outside the guide element 4, the first limiting portion is used to control the depth of the second limiting portion inserted into the guide groove 8, and the second limiting portion faces the closed end in the width direction of the guide element 4.
[0060] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion are V-shaped structures. The first limiting portion includes a first front limiting section 501 and a first rear limiting section 502. There is an angle between the length direction of the first front limiting section 501 and the length direction of the first rear limiting section 502, and the angle is an obtuse angle. The angle between the length direction of the first front limiting section 501 and the length direction of the first rear limiting section 502 is the same as the angle between the length direction of the first guide section and the length direction of the second guide section. The first front limiting section 501 is located between the first rear limiting section 502 and the headrest body 1. The cover plate 5 is installed on the guide element 4. The first front limiting section 501 is in contact with the surface of the first guide section and the length directions of the two are parallel. The first rear limiting section 502 is in contact with the surface of the second guide section and the length directions of the two are parallel. The second limiting portion includes a second front limiting section 503 and a second rear limiting section 504. The length direction of the second front limiting section 503 and the length direction of the second rear limiting section 504 have an angle, and the angle is an obtuse angle. The size of the angle between the length direction of the second front limiting section 503 and the length direction of the second rear limiting section 504 is the same as the size of the angle between the length direction of the first guide section and the length direction of the second guide section. The cover plate 5 is installed on the guide element 4, the second front limiting section 503 is embedded in the first groove, and the second rear limiting section 504 is embedded in the second groove. The length direction of the second front limiting section 503 is parallel to the length direction of the first front limiting section 501, and the length of the second front limiting section 503 is less than the length of the first front limiting section 501. The length direction of the second rear limiting section 504 is parallel to the length direction of the first rear limiting section 502, and the length of the second rear limiting section 504 is less than the length of the first rear limiting section 502. The width of the second front limiting section 503 is smaller than that of the first front limiting section 501, and the width of the second rear limiting section 504 is smaller than that of the first rear limiting section 502. The widths of the first front limiting section 501 and the first rear limiting section 502 are the same, the widths of the second front limiting section 503 and the second rear limiting section 504 are the same, the width direction of the first front limiting section 501 is perpendicular to the length direction and thickness direction of the first front limiting section 501, the width direction of the first rear limiting section 502 is perpendicular to the length direction and thickness direction of the first rear limiting section 502, the width direction of the second front limiting section 503 is perpendicular to the length direction and thickness direction of the second front limiting section 503, and the width direction of the second rear limiting section 504 is perpendicular to the length direction and thickness direction of the second rear limiting section 504. The thickness directions of the first front limiting section 501, the first rear limiting section 502, the second front limiting section 503 and the second rear limiting section 504 are parallel to the thickness direction of the cover plate 5, and the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion are arranged in sequence along the thickness direction of the cover plate 5, and the thickness direction of the cover plate 5 is parallel to the length direction of the headrest body 1.
[0061] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, the cover plate 5 also includes a third limiting portion 505 connected to the second limiting portion, the third limiting portion 505 is embedded in the guide groove 8, the third limiting portion 505 is located between the gravity ball 7 and the headrest body 1, and the second limiting portion is located between the third limiting portion 505 and the first limiting portion. The third limiting portion 505 is fixedly connected to the second front limiting section 503, and the third limiting portion 505 is inserted into the first groove. The third limiting portion 505 is used to limit the initial position of the gravity ball 7. When the headrest body 1 is in the first position, the gravity ball 7 is in contact with the third limiting portion 505, and the third limiting portion 505 prevents the gravity ball 7 from rolling toward the position of the headrest body 1, ensuring that the gravity ball 7 and the limiting member 6 always maintain a contact state.
[0062] like Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the limiting member 6 is fixedly arranged on the top of the fixed base 2, and an avoidance hole is arranged on the guide element 4 for the limiting member 6 to pass through. After passing through the avoidance hole, the limiting member 6 can contact the gravity ball 7 in the upper guide groove 8.
[0063] When the seat is unfolded in zero gravity, the backrest and the headrest tilt backwards, and the gravity ball 7 rolls from the first groove to the second groove. After the gravity ball 7 is separated from the top of the limiter 6, the limiter 6 cannot prevent the headrest body 1 from moving downward. The headrest body 1 can move downward under the action of its own gravity. The headrest body 1 automatically moves from the first position to the second position, and the limiter 6 passes upward through the avoidance hole.
[0064] Through the cooperation of the cover plate 5 and the guide element 4 and the gravity ball 7 and the stopper 6 of the above structure, the downward adjustment stroke of the headrest position can be increased. This automatic adaptability improves the comfort and convenience of the passengers, and there is no need to manually adjust the position of the headrest. In addition, this implementation method has a simple structure and is easy to process, which can reduce costs. By accurately designing the shape of the guide groove 8 and the cover plate 5, the accurate cooperation between the gravity ball 7 and the stopper 6 is ensured. This precise control makes the conversion of the headrest between different positions smoother and more reliable.
[0065] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a vehicle, comprising a zero-gravity adaptive headrest of the above structure, wherein the zero-gravity adaptive headrest is installed on a seat of the vehicle. The specific structure of the zero-gravity adaptive headrest can be referred to Figures 1 to 9 Since the vehicle of the present invention includes the zero-gravity adaptive headrest in the above embodiment, it has all the advantages of the above zero-gravity adaptive headrest.
[0066] Embodiment 2

[0070] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the headrest body includes a headrest frame 3 and a foam matrix connected to the headrest frame 3; the headrest frame 3 plays a good supporting role, ensuring the overall structural strength of the headrest body, and the foam matrix is made of soft material as a whole, which can provide soft support for the head of the occupant and ensure the riding comfort of the occupant.
[0071] In the embodiment of the present invention, the ventilation mechanism 12 is arranged on the headrest frame 11 . Such an arrangement facilitates the installation and arrangement of the ventilation mechanism 12 on the headrest body.
[0072] At the same time, in an embodiment of the present invention, the foaming base and the ventilation mechanism 12 are arranged on opposite sides of the headrest frame 11; ventilation holes 19 are provided on the headrest frame 11; a ventilation channel 18 is provided on the foaming base, and the ventilation holes 19 are connected with the ventilation channel 18; the gas provided by the ventilation mechanism 12 passes through the ventilation holes 19 and enters the ventilation channel 18 of the foaming base, and the gas can be discharged through the channel, so that the gas passes through the headrest body and blows to the head of the occupant.
[0073] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the foaming base includes a headrest base 10 and a headrest foam 1. The headrest base 10 and the headrest foam 9 can both be made of foam material. The headrest base 10 as a whole is an arc-shaped block structure, and the headrest foam 9 is a rectangular block structure.

During the actual connection, the headrest base 10 is fixed on the headrest frame 11, and the connection method between the two is various, which can be selected according to needs, such as gluing and the like. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the connecting through hole 15 and the ventilation hole 19 are arranged relative to each other, which facilitates the gas supplied by the subsequent ventilation mechanism 12 to enter the ventilation channel 18 on the headrest foam body 9; thereby facilitating the subsequent air outlet operation.
[0075] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the headrest foam body 9 is embedded in the headrest base 10; an embedded groove 17 is provided on the headrest base 10, and the headrest foam body 9 is arranged in the embedded groove 17; the embedded groove 17 provided on the headrest base 10 plays a storage role, which facilitates the placement of the headrest foam body 9 on the headrest base 10. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the embedded groove 17 is located in the middle area of the headrest base 10; so that the inner side wall of the embedded groove 17 can limit the circumferential position of the headrest foam body 9, and the headrest foam body 9 can be bonded to the headrest base 10 by glue; based on such a setting, the stability of the headrest foam body 9 in the headrest base 10 is guaranteed.
[0076] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the ventilation channel 18 includes an air duct groove 23 and a through hole group 24 arranged on the headrest foam body 9; the air duct groove 23 and the through hole group 24 are interconnected; the through hole group 24 is arranged on the side of the headrest foam body 9 away from the headrest base 10, that is, when used subsequently, it is arranged on the side close to the occupant, and the air duct groove 23 is close to the side of the headrest base 10. When used subsequently, the ventilation mechanism 12 supplies gas into the air duct groove 23, and the gas then flows from the air duct groove 23 to the through hole group 24, and then is discharged to the outside through the through hole group 24 to blow on the occupant's head, thereby realizing ventilation and cooling of the occupant's head.
[0077] In the embodiment of the present invention, the depth of the air duct groove 23 is less than the thickness of the headrest foam body 9; such a setting makes the air duct groove 23 equivalent to being set on one side of the headrest foam body 9, so that the flatness of the headrest foam body 9 close to the passenger side can be ensured as much as possible, ensuring the comfort of the passenger.
[0078] In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the through hole group 24 includes a plurality of single through holes 16, each of which extends from the air duct groove 23 on the headrest foam body 9 to a side away from the air duct groove 23; the plurality of single through holes 16 ensure the ventilation of the headrest foam body 9, and the embodiment of the present invention can ensure that the gas blown out of the ventilation mechanism 12 can pass through and blow to the head area of the occupant through the coordinated use of the air duct groove 23 and the plurality of single through holes 16, thereby improving the riding comfort of the occupant.
[0079] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the air duct sink 23 includes a plurality of spaced-apart, parallel-distributed single sinks 21, the single sinks 21 being a part of the air duct sink 23, the single sinks 21 being inclined, and two or more adjacent single sinks 21 being connected by at least one connecting sink 22; such an arrangement enables the headrest foam body 9 to form a grid-like structure close to the foaming substrate side, which facilitates the subsequent flow of gas.

Such a setting can achieve the connection between the single body sinks 21 at the shortest distance. At the same time, at the intersection of the connecting sink and the single body sink 21, it is required to use an arc surface transition. Such a setting can reduce the running resistance of the gas in the air duct sink 23, which is beneficial to ensure the diffusion range of the gas in the headrest body.

[0082] In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the wind-blocking layer 14 is provided with ventilation holes 25 ; the ventilation holes 25 , the connecting holes 15 and the ventilation holes 19 are connected in sequence; such an arrangement facilitates the gas supplied by the ventilation mechanism 12 to enter the headrest foam body 9 .
[0083] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the headrest frame 11 is a plastic frame; the provision of the plastic frame can reduce the overall weight of the headrest body while ensuring the headrest body.
[0084] In an embodiment of the present invention, the headrest also includes a headrest rear decorative cover 5; the headrest rear decorative cover 5 is hollow to form a placement cavity; the headrest rear decorative cover 5 plays a shielding and protective role, and at the same time, an internal cavity can be formed to facilitate the placement of the headrest body; the headrest rear decorative cover 5 is connected to the headrest frame 11; the two can be connected by bolts or by snap-fitting.
[0085] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the ventilation mechanism 12 includes a ventilation pump, and the operation of the ventilation pump can supply air to the headrest body, and the ventilation pump includes a pump housing, and the setting of the pump housing facilitates the installation of the ventilation pump on the headrest frame 11.
[0086] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the ventilation pump is connected to the headrest frame 11 through a fastening component; the provision of the fastening component facilitates the connection between the ventilation pump and the headrest frame 11. Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the fastening component includes a support column provided on the headrest frame 11; the pump housing is overlapped on the support column; and subsequently, the pump housing is connected to the support column by bolts passing through the pump housing. Such a provision facilitates the installation and use of the ventilation pump on the headrest frame 11.
[0087] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the ventilated headrest assembly includes two ventilation mechanisms 12, and the two ventilation mechanisms 12 are spaced apart on the headrest frame 11, and the ventilation pumps in the two ventilation mechanisms 12 are connected through the same wiring harness assembly 20; such a configuration can reduce the use of the wiring harness assembly 20 while ensuring the air supply. The two ventilation mechanisms 12 disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention are symmetrically arranged on the headrest frame 11, and the wiring harness assembly 20 is arranged on the headrest frame 11 through wiring harness buckles; the headrest frame 11 of the embodiment of the present invention has an arc-shaped structure as a whole, so the two ventilation mechanisms 12 are arranged at the upper end of the headrest frame 11, and the air outlet directions of the two ventilation mechanisms 12 are arranged to intersect, and such a configuration can better ensure the diffusion of gas in the air duct sink 23.
[0088] In the embodiment of the present invention, the headrest foam body 9 and the headrest base 10 are mainly made of foam material, and the headrest frame 11 is mainly supported by plastic. Generally, high-strength plastic material is selected, which has the characteristics of lightness and high strength; the headrest frame 11 is required to be able to effectively bear the headrest and its accessories to ensure structural stability.
[0089] In an embodiment of the present invention, the headrest foam body 9 and the headrest base 10 are made of foam material; in an embodiment of the present invention, the texture on the headrest foam body 9 can adopt a variety of shapes, such as wave shape, grid shape, honeycomb shape, etc., and the ventilation channel 18 is arranged through the clever design of these textures, and different textures can be adopted according to different shapes.
[0090] The grid-shaped pattern disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention is mainly formed by ventilation channels 18, which are formed by the intersection of multiple single grooves 21 and connecting grooves 22. The grid-shaped pattern forms multiple small channels, which increases the air circulation speed and further improves the heat dissipation effect; and the pattern foaming helps to reduce the pressure point between the head and the headrest, increase the occupant's head intrusion and improve comfort.
[0091] The mesh pattern also has the following characteristics:
[0092] 1. Significant ventilation effect: The grid-shaped pattern forms an effective air circulation path through the staggered arrangement of multiple small channels; hot air can be quickly discharged through these small channels to achieve efficient heat dissipation.
[0093] 2. Uniform pressure distribution: The grid-shaped structure can evenly disperse the head pressure, reduce single-point pressure, and improve riding comfort; uniform pressure distribution can also reduce fatigue caused by long-term riding;
[0094] 3. High structural strength: The staggered structure of the grid-shaped pattern has high strength and stability, which can provide sufficient support while ensuring ventilation effect, thereby enhancing the overall durability of the headrest.
[0095] Adapts to various head shapes: The grid-shaped pattern can adaptively adjust according to different head shapes, providing better fit and support, further improving the comfort of the occupants.
[0096] Compared with other texture shapes:
[0097] Wave pattern: Although the wave pattern has certain advantages in ventilation and comfort, it is not as good as the grid pattern in terms of uniform pressure distribution and structural strength. In addition, the manufacturing process of the wave pattern is relatively complicated, which increases the cost.
[0098] Honeycomb pattern: Honeycomb pattern has outstanding performance in strength and lightness, but its complex structural design may increase manufacturing difficulty and cost. At the same time, honeycomb pattern is slightly inferior to grid pattern in terms of uniform pressure distribution.
[0099] Taking all the above factors into consideration, choosing a grid-shaped pattern as the preferred option can not only significantly improve the ventilation effect and ride comfort, but also ensure the structural strength of the headrest and the controllability of manufacturing costs. It is an ideal choice.
[0100] In addition, since the ventilation channel 18 is relatively wide, the embodiment of the present invention also requires that a wind-blocking layer 14 be pasted on the headrest foam 9; the wind-blocking layer 14 is mainly non-woven fabric; when used, the non-woven fabric is pasted on the headrest foam 9 to close the ventilation channel 18 to prevent air leakage. When the headrest foam 9 is installed, the two reserved 40mm ventilation holes 25 are aligned with the ventilation holes 19 on the headrest frame 11; specifically, the non-woven fabric is required to open two 40mm diameter circular ventilation holes 25 at the ventilation mechanism 12 position.
[0101] Ventilation mechanism 12: A small air suction mechanism is built in; the mechanism is fastened to the plastic of the headrest with screws, and has the characteristics of low noise and high efficiency; the ventilation mechanism 12 is connected to the seat power supply through a wiring harness, and the user can control the ventilation effect through a switch.
[0102] During the specific installation, the headrest frame 11 is first assembled with the ventilation mechanism 12 and the wiring harness to form a first small assembly, the non-woven fabric and the headrest foam 9 are connected, and then glued and installed on the headrest base 10 to form a second small assembly, and then the first small assembly and the second small assembly, the face cover and the headrest rear trim cover 5 are assembled into a headrest, the headrest is installed on the seat and connected to the wiring harness, and the occupant starts the ventilation mechanism 12 through the switch to start the headrest for use.

The specific structure of the zero-gravity adaptive headrest can be referred to Figures 1 to 19 Since the vehicle of the present invention includes the zero-gravity adaptive headrest in the above embodiment, it has all the advantages of the above zero-gravity adaptive headrest.
[0104] The present invention is described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
