Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a seat assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Nowadays, many people enjoy spending their weekends camping or fishing in the mountains or by rivers with family and friends to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and slow down their pace of life. When people want to enjoy the outdoor scenery, they usually need to leave their vehicles. If they want to fish or sit and chat quietly, they need to find a place to sit or bring their own chairs to relax while enjoying the outdoor scenery.

[0003] Typically, people drive to their destinations when engaging in outdoor activities. Therefore, if a vehicle can provide outdoor seating for passengers, it greatly enhances their experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a seat assembly and a vehicle to address at least some of the shortcomings of the related art.

[0005] The first aspect of this application provides a seat assembly for use in a vehicle, comprising:

[0006] Seat structure, including the seat cushion.

[0007] The support structure includes a fixing part and a connecting rod part. The fixing part extends along a first direction for connection with the vehicle. The connecting rod part includes a first end and a second end. The first end is pivotally connected to the fixing part. The second end is pivotally connected to the seat cushion part.

[0008] When the connecting rod rotates relative to the fixed part, the second end drives the seat structure to move, thereby changing the position of the seat structure in the first direction and the distance between the seat structure and the fixed part in the second direction. The first direction is different from the second direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the support structure also includes:

[0010] The support member includes a fixed end and a connecting end. The fixed end is pivotally connected to the portion of the fixing part away from the first end. The connecting end is connected to the portion of the connecting rod part away from the first end.

[0011] Furthermore, the support member is configured as a hydraulic telescopic rod. The hydraulic telescopic rod can change the distance between the fixed end and the connecting end to drive the connecting rod portion to rotate relative to the fixed portion.

[0012] Furthermore, the seat assembly also includes:

[0013] A translational structure, extending along the first direction, includes a first translational member and a second translational member. The first translational member is connected to the second end. The second translational member is connected to the seat cushion portion. The first and second translational members cooperate to change the position of the seat structure in the first direction.

[0014] Furthermore, the first and second translational members are configured as slide rails. The first and second translational members are slidably connected to change the position of the seat structure in the first direction.

[0015] Furthermore, one of the first and second translational members is configured as a rack and pinion, and the other as a gear. The first and second translational members are meshed together to change the position of the seat structure in the first direction.

[0016] Furthermore, the translation structure also includes a translation motor. The translation motor is used to drive at least one of the first translation member and the second translation member to drive the translation structure to change the position of the seat structure in the first direction.

[0017] Furthermore, the seat structure also includes:

[0018] A backrest portion is pivotally connected to the seat cushion portion. The backrest portion includes a support surface. The seat cushion portion includes a seating surface. The seat structure includes an open state and a folded state.

[0019] When the seat structure is in the open state, the backrest surface and the seating surface extend in different directions.

[0020] When the seat structure is in the folded state, the backrest surface and the seating surface are parallel and opposite to each other.

[0021] Furthermore, the seat structure includes a seat motor. The seat motor is used to drive relative pivoting between the backrest portion and the seat cushion portion, so that the seat structure switches between an open state and a folded state.

[0022] A second aspect of this application provides a vehicle, including a body and the seat assembly described in the foregoing embodiments. The fixing part is fixedly connected to the body.

[0023] Furthermore, the vehicle body includes a luggage compartment, a tailgate that closes the luggage compartment, and a floor plate disposed in the luggage compartment. The fixing part is fixedly connected to the floor plate. The linkage part includes a forward rotation state and a reverse rotation state.

[0024] When the connecting rod rotates forward, the second end drives the seat structure to move, so that the seat structure moves toward the tailgate in the first direction and moves away from the fixed part in the second direction.

[0025] When the linkage reverses, the second end drives the seat structure to move, so that the seat structure moves away from the tailgate in the second direction and moves closer to the fixing part in the second direction.

[0026] Furthermore, the base plate includes a receiving groove. The fixing part is disposed in the receiving groove. When the connecting rod is reversed to its extreme position, the seat assembly is received in the receiving groove.

[0027] Furthermore, the vehicle body also includes a cover plate. The cover plate is detachably connected to the bottom plate and is used to cover or expose the receiving groove.

[0028] Furthermore, the vehicle body also includes a roof. The tailgate is pivotally connected to the roof to open or close the luggage compartment.

[0029] Furthermore, the base plate includes a turntable. The turntable is rotatable about a rotation axis. The rotation axis extends along the second direction. The fixing part is fixedly connected to the turntable.

[0030] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application may include the following beneficial effects:

[0031] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the seat assembly of this application can achieve synchronous movement of the seat structure in two different directions through the rotation of the connecting rod relative to the fixed part, simplifying the movement of the seat assembly from the storage state to the use state. The connecting rod can drive the seat structure to move away from the fixed part in the second direction, so the height difference between the seat cushion and the fixed part can provide legroom for the passenger, improving riding comfort. When the seat is in the storage state, the seat cushion and the fixed part are close together, reducing the size of the seat assembly in the second direction, making it easier to store.

[0045] refer to Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a vehicle 100. The vehicle 100 includes a 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 connecting rod portion 222. The fixing portion 221 extends along a first direction X and is connected to the body 1 of the vehicle 100. The connecting rod 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. When the connecting rod portion 222 rotates relative to the fixing portion 221, the second end 2222 drives the seat structure 21 to move, thereby changing 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 the second direction Y.

[0046] exist Figure 5 In the view shown, when the connecting rod 222 rotates relative to the fixed part 221, the second end 2222 of the connecting rod 222 drives the seat structure 21 to move to the right in the first direction X, and to move upward away from the fixed part 221 in the second direction Y, so that the seat assembly 2 can be switched to Figure 6 The usage status shown. And... Figure 6 In the view shown, when the linkage 222 rotates relative to the fixed part 221, the second end 2222 of the linkage 222 drives the seat structure 21 to move to the left in the first direction X, and to move downward toward the fixed part 221 in the second direction Y, so that the seat assembly 2 can be switched to Figure 5 The usage status is shown.

[0047] With this configuration, the seat assembly 2 can achieve synchronous movement of the seat structure 21 in two different directions through the rotation of the link 222 relative to the fixed part 221. Compared to technical solutions that separately drive the seat structure 21 to move along the first direction X and the second direction Y, this application simplifies the movement of the seat assembly 2 from the storage state to the use state. Furthermore, since the link 222 can drive the seat structure 21 to move away from the fixed part 221 in the second direction Y when the seat assembly 2 switches from the storage state to the use state, the height difference between the seat cushion 211 and the fixed part 221 provides legroom for the passenger, improving seating comfort. When the seat is in the storage state, the seat cushion 211 and the fixed part 221 are close together, minimizing the size of the seat assembly 2 in the second direction Y, facilitating storage.

[0048] In various embodiments of this application, the first direction X is distinct from the second direction Y. Figure 1 In the illustrated 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 this application is not limited in this regard.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle body 1 includes a luggage compartment 11, a tailgate 12 that closes the luggage compartment 11, and a floor 13 disposed on the luggage compartment 11. In some embodiments, the fixing part 221 is fixedly connected to the floor 13. The linkage part 222 includes a forward rotation state and a reverse rotation state.

[0050] When the linkage 222 rotates clockwise, 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 part 221 in the second direction Y, that is, from Figure 5 The state shown has switched to Figure 6 The state shown.

[0051] When the linkage 222 reverses, the second end 2222 drives the seat structure 21 to move, causing the seat structure 21 to move away from the tailgate 12 in the second direction Y and to move closer to the fixing part 221 in the second direction Y, that is, from Figure 6 The state shown has switched to Figure 5 The state 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 in the seat assembly 2 in the luggage compartment 11 to enjoy outdoor scenery, camping, fishing, and other activities. Compared to the cockpit, the luggage compartment 11 is more spacious, which not only facilitates passenger movement but also makes it easier for passengers to retrieve and store camping supplies, food, and other items.

[0053] The seat structure 21 of this application moves away from the fixing part 221 in the second direction Y when the linkage 222 rotates forward, thus it can be applied to the luggage compartment 11 of, for example, a car model. The seat structure 21 can be lifted from the floor 13 of the luggage compartment 11 for passenger seating. Alternatively, the seat assembly 2 can also be applied to some vehicles 100 with a lower backrest. Compared to technical solutions that require a lower backrest to work with the seat assembly 2, the seat structure 21 of this application can be lifted from the floor 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 still provide seating in the luggage compartment 11, simplifying the passenger's operation process for accessing the seat assembly 2. When the lower backrest is opened, it can also be used as a footrest for passenger use, improving passenger comfort. In other words, passengers can choose to open or close the lower backrest according to their actual needs.

[0054] Compared to embodiments where seat assembly 2 relies on a lower backrest for passenger support, the fixing part 221 of this application is connected to the bottom plate 13 of the luggage compartment 11. This improves the load-bearing capacity and connection stability of seat assembly 2, while reducing the support required for the lower backrest, eliminating the need for structural optimization of the lower backrest. Furthermore, since seat structure 21 can move towards the tailgate 12 in the first direction X when the linkage part 222 rotates forward, passengers sitting on seat structure 21 can be as close as possible to the external space of the vehicle 100, providing a more spacious visual experience.

[0055] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle body 1 includes a roof 15. In some embodiments, the tailgate 12 is pivotally connected to the roof 15 to open or close the luggage compartment 11. The connection between the tailgate 12 and the roof 15 can improve the opening and closing range of the tailgate 12 to a certain extent, while the tailgate 12 does not obstruct the passenger's horizontal line of sight when the passenger is sitting on the seat assembly 2 and facing the outside of the vehicle 100. The tailgate 12 can also provide some sun and rain protection, improving passenger comfort. In addition, the connection between the tailgate 12 and the roof 15 of the vehicle 100 means that the luggage compartment 11 and the passenger compartment are connected, thus improving the visual transparency of the vehicle 100 in the first direction X, and also facilitating the passenger in the luggage compartment 11 to retrieve and place items in the passenger compartment, or facilitating communication between the passengers in the passenger compartment and the luggage compartment 11.

[0056] Admittedly, the tailgate 12 can also be in the form of a double door or a single-side door with its pivot axis parallel to the second direction Y, and this application does not limit this.

[0057] To avoid the seat assembly 2 occupying space in the luggage compartment 11 when not in use, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the base plate 13 includes a receiving groove 131. A fixing part 221 is disposed in the receiving groove 131. When the connecting rod part 222 is reversed to its extreme position, the seat assembly 2 is received in the receiving groove 131. The receiving groove 131 provides a fixed storage space for the seat assembly 2, minimizing the space occupied by the seat assembly 2 in the second direction Y. It should be noted that the seat assembly 2 may only be partially received in the receiving groove 131, thereby reducing the dimensional requirements of the base plate 13 in the second direction Y. Alternatively, the seat assembly 2 may be completely received in the receiving groove 131, further concealing the seat assembly 2.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the seat assembly 2 is accommodated in the receiving slot 131, the surface of the seat structure 21 away from the fixing part 221 can be flush with the bottom plate 13, thereby making the bottom plate 13 of the luggage compartment 11 a flat surface, facilitating the loading and unloading of items. Alternatively, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle body 1 also includes a cover plate 14. The cover plate 14 is detachably connected to the base plate 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 part 221 can still be flush with the base plate 13 to support the cover plate 14 in the second direction Y. Alternatively, the surface of the seat structure 21 away from the fixing part 221 can also be completely accommodated in the receiving groove 131 to improve the flatness of the cover plate 14 when covering the receiving groove 131.

[0059] The cover 14 ensures that the bottom plate 13 of the luggage compartment 11 is a complete and flat surface, preventing small items from falling into the receiving slot 131 and improving the consistency and continuity of the bottom plate 13 of the luggage compartment 11, thereby enhancing its aesthetics. The detachable connection between the cover 14 and the bottom plate 13 can be achieved through magnetic adsorption, electromagnetic connection, snap-fit ​​connection, or the cover 14 simply abutting against the bottom plate 13; this application does not limit this.

[0060] To further improve the adjustability of the seat assembly 2, in some embodiments, the base plate 13 includes a turntable (not shown). The turntable is rotatable about a rotation axis. The rotation axis extends along a second direction Y. A fixing part 221 is fixedly connected to the turntable. The turntable allows passengers to adjust the orientation of the seat assembly 2 according to their actual needs. That is, when passengers sit on the seat assembly 2, they do not need to face directly towards the outside of the luggage compartment 11 in the first direction X, but can form any angle with the first direction X, such as 5°, 10°, 30°, 45°, etc. Thus, when the parking space of the vehicle 100 is limited, and the view that the passenger wants to see is deviated from the first direction X, the seat assembly 2 can be rotated to face the view.

[0061] In some alternative embodiments, the fixing part 221 is slidably connected to the base plate 13 in the form of a slide rail. In other words, in this embodiment, the position of the fixing part 221 in the first direction X is adjustable, so that passengers can adjust the position of the seat assembly 2 in the first direction X according to their wishes, such as moving it closer to the outside of the vehicle 100 for a better view, or moving it 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 installed in any position of the vehicle 100, such as in the passenger compartment of the vehicle 100 as a temporary rest seat, and this application does not limit it in this regard.

[0063] In the above embodiments, the relative pivoting between the connecting rod portion 222 and the fixed portion 221 can be achieved, for example, by providing a motor at the first end 2221 of the connecting rod portion 222 to drive the rotation of the connecting rod portion 222. The motor can rotate a certain number of revolutions and then lock, thereby fixing the angle between the connecting rod portion 222 and the fixed portion 221.

[0064] Alternatively, the relative pivoting between the link 222 and the fixing part 221 can be manually achieved by the passenger by moving the seat structure 21. In this embodiment, as... Figure 4 As shown, in order to fix the angle between the connecting rod 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 connecting end 2232. The fixed end 2231 is pivotally connected to the portion of the fixing portion 221 away from the first end 2221. The connecting end 2232 is connected to the portion of the connecting rod portion 222 away from the first end 2221. Figure 4 As shown, this connection method forms a triangular structure between the fixing part 221, the connecting rod part 222 and the support member 223, thereby providing stable support for the seat structure 21.

[0065] In this embodiment, the connecting rod portion 222 may be provided with multiple spaced-apart socket structures, such as insertion holes. The connecting end 2232 adjusts the included angle between the connecting rod portion 222 and the fixing portion 221 by selecting different insertion holes, 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 optional embodiment, the support member 223 is configured as a hydraulic telescopic rod. The hydraulic telescopic rod can change the distance between the fixed end 2231 and the connecting end 2232 to drive the connecting rod portion 222 to rotate relative to the fixed portion 221. In this embodiment, the connection between the connecting end 2232 and the connecting rod portion 222 is a pivotable connection. The hydraulic telescopic rod allows for fine adjustments to the position of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X and the second direction Y, without requiring manual adjustment by the passenger, thus facilitating intelligent adjustment of the seat assembly 2. Furthermore, the power provided by the hydraulic telescopic rod enhances the support force of the support member 223 on the connecting rod portion 222, thereby further improving the stability of the seat assembly 2 during seating and the weight that the seat assembly 2 can withstand.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, the linkage 222 can also be configured as a hydraulic telescopic rod. In other words, the change in position of the seat structure 21 in the second direction Y can be achieved not only through the relative pivotal line of sight between the linkage 222 and the fixed part 221, but also through the extension and retraction of the linkage 222. Thus, 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 helps to further improve the adjustability of the seat assembly 2, thereby improving the passenger's user experience and satisfaction. For example, when the passenger is a child, the linkage 222 extends, allowing an adult passenger standing on the ground to look at the child passenger sitting on the seat assembly 2 at eye level.

[0068] In order 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 a first direction X and includes a first translation member 231 and a second translation member 232. The first translation member 231 is connected to a second end 2222. The second translation member 232 is connected to the seat cushion portion 211. The first translation member 231 and the second translation member 232 cooperate to change the position of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X. (Comparison) Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 7 The seat structure 21 compared to Figure 6The seat structure 21 is positioned closer to the exterior of the vehicle 100, allowing passengers to feel closer to the external space of the vehicle 100 when seated in the seat assembly 2, thus enhancing the experience of outdoor activities. 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, further improving the adjustability and usability of the seat assembly 2 and enabling it to meet the needs of different types of passengers. Furthermore, the fixing part 221 extending along the first direction X maintains the force balance of the seat assembly 2 when the seat structure 21 is close to the external space of the vehicle 100, ensuring the stability of the seat assembly 2.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first translation member 231 and the second translation member 232 are configured 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 slide rail configuration is simple in structure, cost-effective, and does not excessively increase the weight of the seat assembly 2. Furthermore, the slide rail configuration facilitates manual adjustment by passengers of different ages and genders, allowing for adjustment of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X without applying excessive force.

[0070] Furthermore, the slide rail can be provided with multiple locking 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 positions, thereby further improving the adjustability of the position of the seat structure 21.

[0071] In other embodiments, one of the first translation member 231 and the second translation member 232 is configured as a rack and pinion, and the other as a gear. The first translation member 231 and the second translation member 232 are meshed together to change the position of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X. The passenger can adjust the movement distance of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X by adjusting the number of rotations of the gear, thereby enabling fine-tuning of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X compared to a slide rail method.

[0072] In the above embodiments, the translation structure 23 may further include a translation motor (not shown). The translation motor drives 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 embodiments where the first translation member 231 and the second translation member 232 are slide rails, the translation motor may drive only the first translation member 231, or only the second translation member 232, or both simultaneously to achieve movement of the seat structure 21. In embodiments where the first translation member 231 and the second translation member 232 are gear and rack meshing, the translation motor drives the rotation of the gear, thereby achieving movement of the seat structure 21.

[0073] By setting up a translation motor, the position adjustment of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X does not require manual operation by the passenger. This not only improves the intelligence of the vehicle 100, but also caters to groups with less strength, such as the elderly, children, or women, allowing each passenger to adjust the position of the seat structure 21 according to their actual needs.

[0074] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 To improve seat comfort, in some embodiments, the seat structure 21 further includes a backrest portion 212 pivotally connected to the seat cushion portion 211. The backrest portion 212 includes a support surface 2121. The seat cushion portion 211 includes a seating 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 support surface 2121 and the seating surface 2111 extend in different directions, i.e., there is an angle between the support surface 2121 and the seating surface 2111, which can be 90°, 100°, 120°, etc. When the seat structure 21 is in the folded state, the support surface 2121 and the seating surface 2111 are parallel and opposite to each other, i.e., as shown in the figure. Figure 7 The state shown.

[0075] The cushion portion 212 allows passengers to lean against the backrest surface 2121 when seated in the seat assembly 2, further improving the seating comfort of the seat assembly 2. Simultaneously, when the seat structure 21 is folded, the backrest surface 2121 and the seating surface 2111 are opposite and parallel, thus minimizing the dimensions of the seat structure 21 in the first direction X and the second direction Y, facilitating storage. Furthermore, the cushion portion 212 and the seat cushion portion 211 are pivotally connected, enhancing the overall integrity of the seat assembly 2. When the seat assembly 2 is in the folded state, the cushion portion 212 and the seat portion can be simultaneously stored in, for example, the receiving slot 131, eliminating the need for passengers to separately locate the cushion portion 212.

[0076] Furthermore, the seat structure 21 may also include a seat motor. The seat motor is used to drive relative pivoting between the backrest portion 212 and the seat cushion portion 211, so that the seat structure 21 switches between an open state and a folded state. The inclusion of a seat motor further enhances the intelligence of the seat assembly 2, which is beneficial to improving the passenger's user experience. In embodiments where both a translation motor and a seat motor are provided in the vehicle 100, the translation motor and the seat motor can be integrated, 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 reducing 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, wherein the support member 223 is a hydraulic telescopic rod. In this embodiment, when a passenger presses a switch button located, for example, in the dashboard or luggage compartment 11, the vehicle 100 drives the support member 223 to extend, thereby driving the linkage 222 to rotate forward. At this time, the seat structure 21 moves toward the tailgate 12 in the first direction X and away from the fixing part 221 in the second direction Y. Subsequently, the translation motor drives the translation structure 23 to operate, so that the seat structure 21 moves further toward the tailgate 12 in the first direction X. At the same time, the seat motor drives the backrest 212 to pivot, so that the backrest surface 2121 moves away from the seating surface 2111, thereby switching the seat structure 21 to the open state.

[0078] When the passenger presses the switch button again, the seat motor drives the backrest 212 to pivot, causing the backrest surface 2121 and the seating surface 2111 to face each other. At the same time, the translation motor drives the translation structure 23 to work, causing the seat structure 21 to move towards the luggage compartment 11 in the first direction X. Subsequently, the support member 223 shortens, thereby driving the linkage 222 to flip, realizing the storage of the seat assembly 2.

[0079] In this embodiment, the seat assembly 2 can be activated and retracted with a single button, improving the intelligence of the vehicle 100 and the ease of using the seat assembly 2, thereby enhancing the passenger experience. In this embodiment, when the linkage 222 rotates forward, the motor controlling the tailgate 12 of the vehicle 100 also rotates synchronously. In other words, in this embodiment, passengers do not need to manually open the tailgate 12 first; instead, they can use a switch button located in the passenger compartment to open the tailgate 12 and the seat assembly 2 with a single button press, further simplifying the usage 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 two-seater, but this should be considered exemplary and not limiting. The seat structure 21 can actually be configured as a single seat or an integrated three-seater depending on the size of the vehicle 100. Alternatively, the vehicle 100 may include two seat assemblies 2, each configured as a single seat. Thus, passengers seated in different seat assemblies 2 can adjust the position of the seat assemblies 2 according to their own needs.

[0081] Furthermore, in, for example Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the number of support members 223, connecting rods 222, and fixing parts 221 should be considered exemplary rather than limiting. For example, the number of fixing parts 221 in a single-seat seat assembly 2 can be reduced to two. The number of support members 223 can also be increased or decreased depending on their specific performance parameters, and this application does not limit this.

[0082] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples of the spirit of this application. Those skilled in the art to which this application pertains may make various modifications, additions, or use similar methods to replace the described specific embodiments, without departing from the spirit of this application or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0083] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, 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, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
