[0025] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more readily understood by those skilled in the art. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is for the purpose of aiding understanding the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation thereof.

[0026] In this article, the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "rear," indicating directions or positional relationships, are defined with reference to the orientation observed by the occupant when the vehicle seat is installed in the vehicle and facing the direction of travel. See details... Figure 1 The symbols used are illustrative and are intended only for the purpose of describing this application and simplifying the description. They are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed or operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 6The vehicle seat shown includes a base 1 and a support seat 2 movably connected to the base 1. A first sitting portion 11 is provided on the base 1, and a second sitting portion is provided on the support seat 2. The support seat 2 moves between the first position and the second position on the base 1, thereby enabling the seat to have different usage states. Specifically, when the support seat 2 is in the first position, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the support base 2 covers the first sitting part 11, and the second sitting part is arranged upwards for sitting; when the support base 2 is in the second position, as Figure 2 As shown, the first sitting part 11 is exposed and cooperates with the support seat 2 to form a child seat for a child to sit in. Thus, when an adult needs to sit in the seat, the support seat 2 is switched to the first position, and the adult can sit directly on the second sitting part of the support seat 2; while when a child needs to sit in the seat, the support seat 2 is switched to the second position, so that the first sitting part 11 is exposed, and the child sits on the child seat formed by the cooperation of the support seat 2 and the first sitting part 11.

[0028] In this way, the position of the support seat 2 can be switched according to the passenger's riding needs, so that it can be transformed into different usage states to provide different passengers with riding. There is no need to install an additional child safety seat in the vehicle, which can effectively protect children when riding in the car, improve the safety of children riding in the car, and at the same time, reduce the cost of purchasing child safety seats for users, as well as many problems such as the inconvenience caused by installing and removing child safety seats.

[0029] Specifically, when the support 2 is in the second position, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support seat 2 extends forward and upward from the front of the base 1. At this time, the first sitting part 11 provides a seat for the child, and the support seat 2 provides a backrest to support the child's back. The child can sit facing backward, meaning the child can sit rear-facing in the vehicle, which more effectively protects the child's safety during the ride. Specifically, the first sitting part 11 extends from front to back and upward, allowing the child to sit in a semi-reclining, rear-facing position in the child seat for greater comfort.

[0030] See Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the support seat 2 has a first side 21 and a second side 22 disposed on two sides with different thickness directions. The second side 22 constitutes a second sitting part. When the support seat 2 is in the second position, the first side 21 is arranged facing upward and forms the back support surface of the child seat.

[0031] The support base 2 is also provided with a protective member 23, which is fixed to the first side 21 and extends away from the second side 22 along the thickness direction of the support base 2. The protective member 23 has at least two side wings 23a spaced apart along the width direction of the support base 2. Here, the protective member 23 is U-shaped, with two side wings 23a formed on each side. When the support base 2 is in the second position, and the child is lying down supported on the support base 2, their body is located between the two side wings 23a, which can provide protection for the left and right sides of the child's body. When the support base 2 is in the first position, such as Figure 1 As shown, the protective component 23 can also be supported on the first seat 11 by two side wings 23a, so that the support seat 2 can be stably supported on the base 1 and the second side 22 provides load-bearing support.

[0032] In this embodiment, one end of the support base 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1 about the rotation center line X. When the support base 2 rotates relative to the base 1, it switches between the first position and the second position. That is, by simply flipping the support base 2, it can be switched between the first position and the second position, thereby giving the seat different usage states.

[0033] Specifically, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, one end of the support base 2 is rotatably connected to the front of the base 1. The rotation center line X extends along the width direction of the support base 2 and the base 1, that is, it extends along the left and right direction. The base 1 is also provided with a side plate 12 extending in the vertical direction. The side plate 12 has two sets of side plates 12 arranged at intervals along the width direction of the base 1. The first sitting part 11 is located between the two sets of side plates 12. The support base 2 also has two lugs 24 respectively arranged on two sides opposite to each other in its width direction. The two sets of side plates 12 are located between the two sets of lugs 24 and are arranged one-to-one. The lugs 24 on the same side are rotatably connected to the side plate 12 through a rotating shaft.

[0034] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a support part 13 is also provided on the base 1. The support part 13 is located outside the side plate 12 along the width direction of the base 1, and the upper surface of the support part 13 is on the same plane as the upper surface of the side plate 12. When the support seat 2 is in the first position, the support seat 2 is supported on the side plate 12 and the support part 13, which makes the base 1 provide good and stable support for the support seat 2.

[0035] A recess 14 is also provided on the front side of the support 13. The shape of the recess 14 is similar to that of the lug 24. The lug 24 is rotatably disposed in the recess 14 and connected to the side plate 12. When the support 2 is in the first position, the lug 24 can cover the recess 14, making the seat look more complete and beautiful from the side.

[0036] In this embodiment, the vehicle seat primarily serves as the rear seat of a car. The vehicle seat has multiple seat portions arranged sequentially along its width, specifically a first seat portion 10, a second seat portion 20, and a third seat portion 30 arranged from left to right. All seat portions are connected to a backrest. The first seat portion 10 is provided with the aforementioned base 1 and support seat 2. The upper surface of the second seat portion 20 is the second seat surface 20a, and the upper surface of the third seat portion 30 is the third seat surface 30a. When the support seat 2 is in the first position, the second side 22, which serves as the second seat support, is at the same height as the second seat surface 20a and the third seat surface 30a, resulting in good overall consistency of the rear seat.

[0037] Of course, in other embodiments, the base 1 and the support 2 can be disposed on the second seat 20 or the third seat 30, or the base 1 and the support 2 can be disposed on two or more seats at the same time.

[0038] In other embodiments, the vehicle seat can also be installed in vehicles other than automobiles, so that when a child needs to be carried, the support seat 2 can be converted to a second position to form a child seat to support the child, thereby improving the safety of children when riding in vehicles.
