[0045] Referring Figures 1 to 4 , this application provides a vehicle 100. The vehicle 100 includes a vehicle body 1 and a seat assembly 2. The seat assembly 2 includes a seat structure 21 and a support structure 22. The seat structure 21 includes a seat cushion portion 211. The support structure 22 includes a fixing portion 221 and a link portion 222. The fixing portion 221 extends in a first direction X and is connected to the vehicle body 1 of the vehicle 100. The link portion 222 includes a first end 2221 and a second end 2222. The first end 2221 is pivotally connected to the fixing portion 221. The second end 2222 is pivotally connected to the seat cushion portion 211. Wherein, when the link portion 222 rotates relative to the fixing portion 221, the second end 2222 drives the seat structure 21 to move, so as to change the position of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X and the distance between the seat structure 21 and the fixing portion 221 in a second direction Y.

[0046] In Figure 5 the perspective shown, when the link portion 222 rotates relative to the fixing portion 221, the second end 2222 of the link portion 222 drives the seat structure 21 to move rightward in the first direction X and upward in the second direction Y away from the fixing portion 221, so that the seat assembly 2 can be switched to Figure 6 the usage state shown. And inFigure 6 In the shown perspective, when the connecting rod portion 222 rotates relative to the fixed portion 221, the second end 2222 of the connecting rod portion 222 drives the seat structure 21 to move leftward in the first direction X and downward in the second direction Y close to the fixed portion 221, so that the seat assembly 2 can be switched to Figure 5 the shown use state.

[0047] By such arrangement, the seat assembly 2 can realize the synchronous movement of the seat structure 21 in two different directions through the rotation of the connecting rod portion 222 relative to the fixed portion 221. Compared with the technical solution of separately driving the seat structure 21 to move in the first direction X and the second direction Y, the present application simplifies the movement of the seat assembly 2 from the storage state to the use state. In addition, when the seat assembly 2 is switched from the storage state to the use state, the connecting rod portion 222 can drive the seat structure 21 to move away from the fixed portion 221 in the second direction Y, and the height difference between the seat cushion portion 211 and the fixed portion 221 can provide a placement space for the legs of the passengers, improving the riding comfort. When the seat is in the storage state, the seat cushion portion 211 and the fixed portion 221 are close to each other, minimizing the size of the seat assembly 2 in the second direction Y and facilitating storage.

[0048] In each embodiment of the present application, the first direction X is different from the second direction Y. In Figure 1 the shown embodiment, the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y. However, in other embodiments, the first direction X and the second direction Y can form any angle, and the present application does not limit this.

[0049] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the vehicle body 1 includes a luggage compartment 11, a tailgate 12 closing the luggage compartment 11, and a bottom plate 13 provided in the luggage compartment 11. In some embodiments, the fixed portion 221 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 13. Among them, the connecting rod portion 222 includes a forward rotation state and a reverse rotation state:

[0050] When the connecting rod portion 222 rotates forward, the second end 2222 drives the seat structure 21 to move, so that the seat structure 21 moves toward the tailgate 12 in the first direction X and moves away from the fixed portion 221 in the second direction Y, that is, from the state shown in Figure 5 to the state shown in Figure 6 shown.

[0051] When the connecting rod portion 222 rotates reversely, the second end 2222 drives the seat structure 21 to move, so that the seat structure 21 moves away from the tailgate 12 in the second direction Y and moves close to the fixed portion 221 in the second direction Y, that is, from the state shown in Figure 6 to the state shown in Figure 5 shown.

[0052] In this embodiment, the seat assembly 2 is used as a seat fixedly installed in the luggage compartment 11. When needed, passengers can sit on the seat assembly 2 in the luggage compartment 11 to enjoy outdoor scenery, go camping, fishing and other activities. Compared with the cockpit, the space in the luggage compartment 11 is more spacious, which not only facilitates the activities of passengers, but also enables passengers to conveniently pick up and place camping supplies, food and other items.

[0053] When the connecting rod portion 222 of the seat structure 21 of the present application rotates forward, it moves away from the fixing portion 221 in the second direction Y. Therefore, it can be applied to the luggage compartment 11 of, for example, a sedan model, and the seat structure 21 can be lifted from the bottom plate 13 of the luggage compartment 11 for passengers to sit on. Alternatively, the seat assembly 2 is also applicable to some vehicles 100 with a lower backrest. Compared with the technical solution that requires the lower backrest to cooperate with the seat assembly 2, the seat structure 21 of the present application can be lifted from the bottom plate 13 of the luggage compartment 11 in the second direction Y. Therefore, the lower backrest of the vehicle 100 does not need to be opened, and the vehicle 100 can also meet the seating requirements at the luggage compartment 11, simplifying the operation process for passengers to deploy the seat assembly 2. When the lower backrest is opened, the lower backrest can also be used as a footrest for passengers, improving the seating comfort of passengers. In other words, passengers can choose to open or close the lower backrest according to actual usage needs.

[0054] Compared with the embodiment in which the seat assembly 2 needs to rely on the lower backrest to support passengers, the fixing portion 221 of the present application is connected to the bottom plate 13 of the luggage compartment 11, which is beneficial to improving the bearing capacity and connection stability of the seat assembly 2, while reducing the need for the supporting force of the lower backrest and eliminating the need to optimize the structure of the lower backrest. In addition, since the seat structure 21 can also move toward the rear tailgate 12 in the first direction X when the connecting rod portion 222 rotates forward, passengers sitting on the seat structure 21 can be as close as possible to the space outside the vehicle 100, providing a more open visual experience.

[0055] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the vehicle body 1 includes a roof 15. In some embodiments, the rear tailgate 12 is pivotally connected to the roof 15 to open or close the luggage compartment 11. The connection between the rear tailgate 12 and the roof 15 can improve the opening and closing degree of the rear tailgate 12 to a certain extent. At the same time, when passengers are sitting on the seat assembly 2 and facing the outside of the vehicle 100, the rear tailgate 12 will not block the horizontal line of sight of passengers. The lifting of the rear tailgate 12 can also play a role in shading and rain protection to a certain extent, improving the seating comfort. In addition, the connection between the rear tailgate 12 and the roof 15 of the vehicle 100 means that the spaces of the luggage compartment 11 and the passenger compartment are connected. Therefore, it can improve the visual permeability of the vehicle 100 in the first direction X, and also facilitate passengers in the luggage compartment 11 to pick up and place items in the passenger compartment, or facilitate communication between passengers in the passenger compartment and the luggage compartment 11.

[0056] It is true that the tailgate 12 can also be in forms such as a pair of doors or a single-side opening door with the pivot axis parallel to the second direction Y, and the present application does not limit this.

[0057] To avoid the seat assembly 2 occupying the space of the luggage compartment 11 when not in use, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, the floor panel 13 includes a receiving groove 131. The fixing portion 221 is disposed in the receiving groove 131. Wherein, when the link portion 222 is reversed to the limit position, the seat assembly 2 is received in the receiving groove 131. The provision of the receiving groove 131 provides a fixed storage space for the seat assembly 2 to minimize the occupation of the space of the luggage compartment 11 by the seat assembly 2 in the second direction Y as much as possible. It should be noted that only a part of the seat assembly 2 can be received in the receiving groove 131, so as to reduce the requirement for the size of the floor panel 13 in the second direction Y. Alternatively, the seat assembly 2 can be completely received in the receiving groove 131, so as to further hide the seat assembly 2.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the seat assembly 2 is received in the receiving groove 131, the surface of the seat structure 21 away from the fixing portion 221 can be flush with the floor panel 13, so that the floor panel 13 of the luggage compartment 11 is a flat surface, which is convenient for placing and taking items. Alternatively, in some embodiments, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the vehicle body 1 further includes a cover plate 14. The cover plate 14 is detachably connected to the floor panel 13 and is used to cover or expose the receiving groove 131. In this embodiment, the surface of the seat structure 21 away from the fixing portion 221 can still be flush with the floor panel 13 to support the cover plate 14 in the second direction Y. Alternatively, the surface of the seat structure 21 away from the fixing portion 221 is also completely received in the receiving groove 131 to improve the flatness when the cover plate 14 covers the receiving groove 131.

[0059] The provision of the cover plate 14 can make the floor panel 13 of the luggage compartment 11 a complete and flat surface, prevent small items from falling into the receiving groove 131, and improve the consistency and coherence of the floor panel 13 of the luggage compartment 11, thereby enhancing the aesthetics. The detachable connection between the cover plate 14 and the floor panel 13 can be by magnetic adsorption connection, electromagnetic connection, snap connection or the cover plate 14 only abuts against the floor panel 13, and the present application does not limit this.

[0060] To further improve the adjustability of the position of the seat assembly 2, in some embodiments, the bottom plate 13 includes a turntable (not shown). The turntable is capable of rotating about a rotation axis. The rotation axis extends along the second direction Y. The fixing portion 221 is fixedly connected to the turntable. The setting of the turntable enables the passenger to adjust the direction of the seat assembly 2 according to actual needs, that is, when the passenger is sitting on the seat assembly 2, there is no need to face directly the first direction X towards the outside of the luggage compartment 11, but can form an arbitrary angle, such as 5°, 10°, 30°, 45°, etc. with the first direction X. Thus, when the parking position of the vehicle 100 is limited and the scenery that the passenger wants to view deviates from the first direction X, the seat assembly 2 can be rotated to make the seat assembly 2 face the scenery directly.

[0061] In some alternative embodiments, the fixing portion 221 is slidably connected to the bottom plate 13 in the form of a slide rail. In other words, in this embodiment, the position of the fixing portion 221 in the first direction X is adjustable, so that the passenger can adjust the position of the seat assembly 2 in the first direction X according to his expectation, for example, getting closer to the outside of the vehicle 100 to obtain a better visual experience, or getting closer to the inside of the luggage compartment 11 to avoid wind, rain, sun exposure, etc.

[0062] It should be noted that the seat assembly 2 can actually be arranged at any position of the vehicle 100. For example, it can be assembled in the passenger compartment of the vehicle 100 as a temporary rest seat, etc. The present application does not limit this.

[0063] In the above various embodiments, the relative pivoting between the link portion 222 and the fixing portion 221 can be achieved, for example, by arranging a motor at the first end 2221 of the link portion 222 to drive the rotation of the link portion 222. The motor can be locked after rotating a certain number of turns, so as to fix the angle between the link portion 222 and the fixing portion 221.

[0064] Or, the relative pivoting between the link portion 222 and the fixing portion 221 can be manually achieved by the passenger by pulling the seat structure 21. In this embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, in order to be able to fix the angle between the link portion 222 and the fixing portion 221, the support structure 22 further includes a support member 223. The support member 223 includes a fixed end 2231 and a connection end 2232. The fixed end 2231 is pivotally connected to a portion of the fixing portion 221 away from the first end 2221. The connection end 2232 is connected to a portion of the link portion 222 away from the first end 2221. As Figure 4 shown, this connection method forms a triangular structure among the fixing portion 221, the link portion 222 and the support member 223, so as to form a stable support for the seat structure 21.

[0065] In this embodiment, the connecting rod portion 222 may be provided with a plurality of spaced-apart structures such as jacks. The connecting end 2232 adjusts the included angle between the connecting rod portion 222 and the fixing portion 221 by selectively inserting into different jacks, thereby adjusting the position of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X and the second direction Y. In other words, in this embodiment, the connection between the connecting end 2232 and the connecting rod portion 222 is a detachable connection.

[0066] In an alternative embodiment, the support member 223 is provided as a hydraulic telescopic rod. The hydraulic telescopic rod can change the distance between the fixed end 2231 and the connecting end 2232 to push the connecting rod portion 222 to rotate relative to the fixing portion 221. In this embodiment, the connection between the connecting end 2232 and the connecting rod portion 222 is a pivotable connection. The setting of the hydraulic telescopic rod enables the position of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X and the second direction Y to be finely adjusted without manual adjustment by the passenger, which is beneficial to realizing the intelligence of the adjustment of the seat assembly 2. In addition, the power provided by the hydraulic telescopic rod can improve the supporting force of the support member 223 on the connecting rod portion 222, thereby further improving the stability of the seat assembly 2 during riding and the weight that the seat assembly 2 can bear.

[0067] In an alternative embodiment, the connecting rod portion 222 can also be provided as a hydraulic telescopic rod. In other words, the change in the position of the seat structure 21 in the second direction Y can be achieved not only through the relative pivoting between the connecting rod portion 222 and the fixing portion 221, but also through the telescoping of the connecting rod portion 222. In this way, passengers of different heights can further adjust the height of the seat structure 21 in the second direction Y according to their own needs, which is beneficial to further improving the adjustability of the seat assembly 2, thereby improving the use experience and satisfaction of the passengers. For example, when the passenger is a child, the connecting rod portion 222 extends, so that an adult passenger standing on the ground can look directly at the child passenger sitting on the seat assembly 2.

[0068] To adjust the position of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the seat assembly 2 further includes a translation structure 23. The translation structure 23 extends along the first direction X and includes a first translation member 231 and a second translation member 232. The first translation member 231 is connected to the second end 2222. The second translation member 232 is connected to the seat cushion portion 211. The first translation member 231 cooperates with the second translation member 232 to change the position of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X. Comparing Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 7 the seat structure 21 of Figure 6The seat structure 21 is closer to the exterior of the vehicle 100, enabling passengers sitting on the seat assembly 2 to be closer to the exterior space of the vehicle 100 and enhancing the experience of outdoor activities. The provision of the translation structure 23 allows passengers to adjust the position of the seat assembly 2 in the first direction X according to their preferences, the type of outdoor activity, and weather conditions, etc., further improving the adjustability and playability of the seat assembly 2 and enabling the seat assembly to meet the requirements of different types of passengers. In addition, the fixing portion 221 extending along the first direction X can maintain the force balance of the seat assembly 2 when the seat structure 21 is close to the exterior space of the vehicle 100 and keep the seat assembly 2 stable.

[0069] In the way of setting the first translation member 231 and the second translation member 232, in some embodiments, the first translation member 231 and the second translation member 232 are set as slide rails. The first translation member 231 and the second translation member 232 are slidably connected to change the position of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X. The form structure of the slide rail cooperation is simple, cost-friendly, and does not excessively increase the weight of the seat assembly 2. At the same time, the way of slide rail cooperation is convenient for passengers of different ages and genders to manually adjust, and the adjustment of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X can be achieved without applying too much force.

[0070] Furthermore, the slide rails can be provided with a plurality of positions at intervals along the first direction X, that is, the position of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X can have multiple gears, thereby further improving the adjustability of the position of the seat structure 21.

[0071] In some other embodiments, one of the first translation member 231 and the second translation member 232 is set as a rack and the other is set as a gear. The first translation member 231 and the second translation member 232 are meshed and connected to change the position of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X. Passengers can adjust the moving distance of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X by adjusting the number of rotation turns of the gear, so that the fine adjustment of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X can be achieved compared with the way of the slide rail.

[0072] In the above embodiments, further, the translation structure 23 can also include a translation motor (not shown). The translation motor is used to drive at least one of the first translation member 231 and the second translation member 232 to drive the translation structure 23 to change the position of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X. In the embodiment where the first translation member 231 and the second translation member 232 are slide rails, the translation motor can drive only the first translation member 231, or only the second translation member 232, or drive both the first translation member 231 and the second translation member 232 simultaneously to achieve the movement of the seat structure 21. In the embodiment where the first translation member 231 and the second translation member 232 are in gear-rack meshing, the translation motor drives the rotation of the gear, thereby achieving the movement of the seat structure 21.

[0073] By setting the translation motor, the position adjustment of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X does not need to be manually performed by the passengers, which not only improves the intelligence of the vehicle 100, but also takes care of groups with less strength such as the elderly, children or women, enabling each passenger to adjust the position of the seat structure 21 according to actual needs.

[0074] With reference to Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , in order to improve the comfort of the seat, in some embodiments, the seat structure 21 further includes a cushion part 212 pivotally connected to the seat cushion part 211. The cushion part 212 includes a leaning surface 2121. The seat cushion part 211 includes a sitting surface 2111. The seat structure 21 includes an open state and a folded state: when the seat structure 21 is in the open state, the leaning surface 2121 and the sitting surface 2111 extend in different directions, that is, there is an included angle between the leaning surface 2121 and the sitting surface 2111 at this time, and the included angle can be 90°, 100°, 120°, etc. When the seat structure 21 is in the folded state, the leaning surface 2121 and the sitting surface 2111 are parallel and opposite, that is, in the state as Figure 7 shown.

[0075] The setting of the cushion part 212 enables the passengers to lean on the leaning surface 2121 when sitting on the seat assembly 2, further improving the riding comfort of the seat assembly 2. At the same time, when the seat structure 21 is in the folded state, the leaning surface 2121 and the sitting surface 2111 are opposite and parallel, so the size of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X and the second direction Y can be minimized, which is beneficial to achieve storage. At the same time, the cushion part 212 and the seat cushion part 211 are pivotally connected, enhancing the integrity of the seat assembly 2. When the seat assembly 2 is in the storage state, the cushion part 212 and the seat part can be stored in, for example, the receiving groove 131 at the same time, and the passengers do not need to find another storage place for the cushion part 212.

[0076] Furthermore, the seat structure 21 may further include a seat motor. The seat motor is used to drive the relative pivoting between the cushion part 212 and the seat cushion part 211 to switch the seat structure 21 between the open state and the folded state. The setting of the seat motor further improves the intelligence of the seat assembly 2 and is beneficial to enhancing the use experience of the passengers. In the embodiments where the vehicle 100 is provided with both a translation motor and a seat motor, the translation motor and the seat motor can be set as one, that is, the same motor drives the translation structure 23 and the seat structure 21, thereby simplifying the structure of the seat assembly 2 and the space requirements.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, the seat assembly 2 is provided with a translation motor, a seat motor, and a support member 223, and the support member 223 is configured as a hydraulic telescopic rod. In this embodiment, when a passenger clicks a switch button disposed, for example, on the instrument panel, in the luggage compartment 11, etc., the vehicle 100 drives the support member 223 to extend, thereby driving the link portion 222 to rotate forward. At this time, the seat structure 21 moves in the first direction X toward the rear tailgate 12 and moves away from the fixing portion 221 in the second direction Y. Subsequently, the translation motor drives the translation structure 23 to operate, so that the seat structure 21 further moves in the first direction X toward the rear tailgate 12. At the same time, the seat motor drives the cushion portion 212 to pivot, so that the leaning surface 2121 moves away from the seating surface 2111, so that the seat structure 21 is switched to the open state.

[0078] When the passenger clicks the switch button again, the seat motor drives the cushion portion 212 to pivot, so that the leaning surface 2121 and the seating surface 2111 face each other. At the same time, the translation motor drives the translation structure 23 to operate, so that the seat structure 21 moves in the first direction X toward the luggage compartment 11. Subsequently, the support member 223 shortens, thereby driving the link portion 222 to flip, realizing the storage of the seat assembly 2.

[0079] In this embodiment, the seat assembly 2 can be enabled and stored with one key, improving the intelligence of the vehicle 100 and the simplicity of calling the seat assembly 2, which is beneficial to improving the use experience of passengers. In this embodiment, when the link portion 222 rotates forward, the motor of the rear tailgate 12 of the vehicle 100 can also rotate synchronously. In other words, in this embodiment, the passenger does not need to manually open the rear tailgate 12 first, but can open the rear tailgate 12 and open the seat assembly 2 with one key by means of a switch button disposed in the passenger compartment, further simplifying the use process of the seat assembly 2.

[0080] It should be noted that Figures 1 to 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the seat structure 21 is configured as an integrated double seat, but this should be exemplary rather than restrictive. The seat structure 21 can actually be configured as a single seat or an integrated triple seat according to the size of the vehicle 100. Alternatively, the vehicle 100 may include two seat assemblies 2, and each seat assembly 2 is configured as a single seat. In this way, passengers sitting on different seat assemblies 2 can adjust the position of the seat assembly 2 according to their own needs.

[0081] In addition, in, for example Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the number of the support member 223, the link portion 222, and the fixing portion 221 should also be exemplary rather than restrictive. For example, the number of the fixing portions 221 of the seat assembly 2 in the form of a single seat can be reduced to two. The number of the support members 223 can also be increased or decreased according to its specific performance parameters, and the present application does not limit this.

[0082] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of this application. Those skilled in the art to which this application pertains can make various modifications, supplements, or use similar methods to replace the described specific embodiments, but will not deviate from the spirit of this application or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0083] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered to be within the scope described in this specification.
