[0055] As mentioned above, in the current seat solutions, the backrest of the seat is generally not replaceable separately, that is, the backrest generally remains unchanged during the service life of the seat, and if the backrest is damaged, the entire seat is generally replaced directly. Therefore, the existing solutions are difficult to meet the personalized needs of users.

[0056] Based on the above, the inventor of the present application has conducted in-depth research and proposed a new seat back module and seat to address the above problems. The first part 2121 and the second part 2122 of the frame connection part 212 are respectively located on the first side and the second side opposite to the frame connection part 11, forming a clamping structure of the first part 2121 and the second part 2122 on the frame connection part 11, so that the connection between the seat back frame 1 and the seat back module 2 is more reliable, meeting the connection strength requirements of the seat, especially the vehicle seat, and the clamping structure is also easy to disassemble, so that the user can easily replace the seat back module 2, meeting the personalized needs of the user. .

[0057] The seat back module described in the following embodiments is applicable to automobile seats to meet the personalized needs of users to replace the back module, but is not limited to this. For example, it can be applied to other transportation applications, such as engineering machinery, railway trains, ships, airplanes, etc. In addition, the application scenarios of seats are not limited to transportation, for example, they can also be applied to seats in fixed places, such as venues, auditoriums, cinemas, etc., as long as the seat can be applied to the seat back module disclosed in the embodiments of this application.

[0058] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the seat 100 includes a seat back frame 1 and a seat back module 2, wherein Figure 1 As shown, the seat back module 2 can be integrally and detachably connected to the seat back frame 1 to form the backrest portion of the seat 100. In addition, the seat 100 generally also includes a cushion portion, but this is not the focus of this application, so it will not be introduced in detail here.

[0059] References Figure 2 , Figure 3A , Figure 3B as well as Figure 4A , Figure 4B As shown, the seat back module 2 includes a frame 21, and the frame 21 includes a frame body 211 and a frame connecting portion 212. The frame body 211 is located within the area 101 defined by the seat back frame 1; the frame connecting portion 212 can be connected to the frame connecting portion 11 of the seat back frame 1, so that the seat back module 2 can be detachably connected to the seat back frame 1.

[0060] The frame connection portion 212 includes a first portion 2121 and a second portion 2122 connected to the first portion 2121. The first portion 2121 and the second portion 2122 are respectively located at a first side and a second side opposite to the frame connection portion 11. For example, the second side may be the front side facing the user of the seat, and the first side may be the back side facing the user of the seat.

[0061] Continue to refer Figure 3A , Figure 3B as well as Figure 4A , Figure 4B As shown, the first part 2121 includes a first connection structure 21211, and the skeleton connection part 11 includes a second connection structure 111. Figure 4A as well as Figure 4B As shown, the first connection structure 21211 can be connected in cooperation with the second connection structure 111 , so that the frame connection portion 212 is connected to the frame connection portion 11 of the seat back frame 1 .

[0062] It can be understood that the frame 21 of the seat back module 2 and the seat back frame 1 are two different components. The seat back frame 1 refers to the main body support of the seat. In addition, the seat back module 2 generally also includes a surface cover 22, which provides the surface of the backrest of the seat.

[0063] The beneficial effects of the embodiments described above include, but are not limited to, that by setting the seat back module, the seat back module can be replaced as a whole to meet the user's personalized needs for replacing the back module, and that the first part 2121 and the second part 2122 of the frame connection part 212 are respectively located on the first side and the second side opposite to the skeleton connection part 11, forming a clamping structure of the first part 2121 and the second part 2122 to the skeleton connection part 11, so that the connection between the seat back frame 1 and the seat back module 2 is more reliable, meeting the connection strength requirements of the seat, especially the vehicle seat, and the clamping structure is also easy to disassemble, so that the user can easily replace the seat back module 2, meeting the user's personalized needs.

[0064] Continue to refer Figure 3A as well as Figure 3B ,as well as Figure 4A , Figure 4B As shown, in some embodiments, the first connection structure and the second connection structure may be in the form of: the first connection structure 21211 includes a latch 21212, the second connection structure 111 includes a first opening 1111, and the latch 21212 can be latched and connected to the first opening 1111. The structure of the opening-catch connection is easy to assemble and the connection is reliable.

[0065] Preferably, continue to refer to Figure 3A as well as Figure 3B In some embodiments, the specific structure of the latching member 21212 can be that the latching member 21212 includes a first elastic tongue 21213 and a second elastic tongue 21214 that are arranged opposite to each other, and the first elastic tongue 21213 and the second elastic tongue 21214 are respectively in contact with the first opening edge 1112 and the second opening edge 1113 corresponding to the first opening 1111 through elastic force. For example, as shown in the figure, the first elastic tongue 21213 and the second elastic tongue 21214 are arranged in relative up and down directions, and the corresponding first opening edge 1112 and the second opening edge 1113 are the upper and lower edges of the first opening 1111. Figure 3A as well as Figure 3B The unconnected state shown is Figure 4A , Figure 4BDuring the connection state shown, the hook portion 21215 at one end of the elastic tongue is squeezed by the first opening edge 1112 and the second opening edge 1113 when passing through the first opening 1111, so that the elastic tongue accumulates elastic force. After the hook portion 21215 passes through the first opening 1111 from the first side to the second side, the first opening edge 1112 and the second opening edge 1113 release the squeezing of the hook portion 21215, so that the elastic tongue releases the elastic force, so that the first elastic tongue 21213 and the second elastic tongue 21214 are in contact with the first opening edge 1112 and the second opening edge 1113 through elastic force. In this way, the clamping effect of the clamping member 21212 can be made more reliable through the elastic force and / or the limiting action of the hook portion 21215.

[0066] Continue to refer Figure 3A as well as Figure 3B ,as well as Figure 4A , Figure 4B As shown, the structure of the first part 2121 and the second part 2122 to clamp the skeleton connection part 11 may be that the first part 2121 includes a first part body 21216, the latch 21212 is disposed on the first part body 21216, and the first part body 21216 can rotate relative to the second part 2122, so that the first connection structure 21211 can be connected or disconnected with the second connection structure 111. Preferably, in some embodiments, the structure for achieving relative rotation may be that the first part body 21216 and the second part 2122 are connected through a thinning part 2123, the thickness of the thinning part 2123 is thinner than that of the first part body 21216, and the first part body 21216 can rotate relative to the second part 2122 with the thinning part 2123 as a rotation axis. It is understandable that the rotating structure can also be provided with a special pivot connection, but the inventors have found that the thinned portion 2123 can meet the strength requirements of the seat, and compared with a special pivot connection, it saves the number of parts and simplifies the assembly manufacturing process.

[0067] Continue to refer Figure 3A as well as Figure 3B ,as well as Figure 4A , Figure 4B As shown, in some embodiments, the second portion 2122 and the frame connection portion 11 are both plate-like structures. The plate-like structure described here is not a strict flat plate structure. For example, as shown in the figure, the plate-like structure may also have a partial concave structure. The beneficial effect of the second portion 2122 and the frame connection portion 11 being both plate-like structures is that the clamping effect can be better, making the connection between the seat back module 2 and the seat back frame 1 more reliable.

[0068] In some embodiments, as described above, the seat back module 2 further includes a surface cover 22, and part of the surface cover 22 is located between the first side of the skeleton connection part 11 and the first part 2121, so that when the first connection structure 21211 can be connected with the second connection structure 111, part of the surface cover 22 is located between the first connection structure 21211 and the second connection structure 111, so that the first connection structure 21211 is arranged in non-direct contact with the second connection structure 111. In this way, the first connection structure 21211 and the second connection structure 111 can have less noise during the connection and assembly process, and the use noise can be reduced during the use of the seat after the connection, further improving the user experience.
