Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive seat technology, specifically a modular automotive sofa seat. Background Technology

[0002] With the diversification of the automotive consumer market, users' demand for car seats has shifted from the traditional "seat support" to "multi-functional adaptation, customized experience, and convenient maintenance." In particular, the increasing popularity of scenarios such as self-driving tours, business receptions, and family travel further highlights the technological limitations of existing car seats.

[0003] During long-distance road trips, users need to rest in the car and camp and cook outdoors. However, most existing seats are fixed and cannot be transformed into beds, requiring users to carry additional camping bedding, which increases the burden of travel. At the same time, there is a lack of dedicated storage space for outdoor supplies in the car, making it difficult to neatly store equipment such as induction cookers and camping tables. Furthermore, traditional seats do not have a removable table structure, which cannot meet the needs of outdoor cooking and temporary storage.

[0004] When receiving business guests or traveling with family, users need to communicate in the car. However, most of the existing seats are arranged in one direction and lack the function of "seat facing each other to meet guests", which makes the interaction inconvenient. In addition, the utilization rate of the interior space is low. There are gaps between the seats and the front and rear rows, making it impossible to achieve seamless space connection and making it difficult to expand the "rest area" or "storage area" in the limited interior space.

[0005] Existing car seats only offer basic adjustments for backrest angle and seat cushion position, lacking features such as length extension and multi-posture switching. They cannot meet the comfort needs of users of different heights, nor can they flexibly adapt to scenarios such as temporary rest or placement of items. A modular car sofa seat has been invented to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

The outer surface of the third round rod 503 is rotatably connected to the cavity seat plate 101 through a bearing, and the outer surface of the fourth round rod 509 is rotatably connected to the arc-shaped support plate 506 through a bearing.

[0035] Specifically, it facilitates the rotation and extension of the extension frame 403 from the cavity opened in the cavity seat plate 101, thereby increasing the usable length of the seat frame mechanism 1.

[0036] Please see Figures 2 to 8 The bottom of the extension frame 403 abuts against the top of the cavity seat plate 101, and the inner wall of the extension frame 403 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped support plate 506.

[0037] In use, one sits on the hollow seat panel 101 and leans back on the hollow backrest panel 102. The seat cover 2 enhances comfort, and the seat cover 2 can be removed from the hollow seat panel 101 and hollow backrest panel 102 via Velcro, making it easy to replace or wash the seat cover 2. The hollow backrest panel 102 can be easily laid flat or folded. When the hollow backrest panel 102 is flat, the hollow seat panel 101 and hollow backrest panel 102 are horizontal, and the extension frame 403 can be rotated and extended out of the interior of the hollow seat panel 101, easily transforming it into a bed or table for user convenience. When the hollow backrest panel 102 is folded, it is very close to the hollow seat panel 101, facilitating the use of the second... Items are placed on the second tabletop 402; the second tabletop 402 is moved so that it moves along the guide rail on the hollow backrest 102, making it easy to expose the cavity on the hollow backrest 102 for easy access to items; when the hollow backrest 102 is laid flat or folded, the first servo motor 301 in the seat angle adjustment mechanism 3 drives the first drive gear 302 to rotate, and the first drive gear 302 meshes with the first driven gear 304, causing the first driven gear 304 to drive the first round rod 303, the mating plate 103, and the hollow backrest 102 to rotate around the center of the first round rod 303; at the same time, the second servo motor 305 drives the second drive gear 306 to rotate, and the second drive gear 306 meshes with the first driven gear 304. The second driven gear 308 engages, causing the second driving gear 306 to rotate around the center of the second round rod 307 and the second driven gear 308. Since the second round rod 307 is fixed to the mating plate 103, the rotation of the second driving gear 306 can drive the cavity backrest 102 to rotate relative to the mating plate 103, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the tilt angle of the cavity backrest 102 and realizing the flattening or folding of the cavity backrest 102. When extending and adjusting the length of the seat, the third servo motor 501 in the seat extension adjustment mechanism 5 drives the third driving gear 502 to rotate. The third driving gear 502 engages with the third driven gear 504, causing the third driven gear 504 to drive the third round rod 508 around the center of the third round rod 503. The rod 503, adjusting plate 505, and extension frame 403 rotate to facilitate the extension frame 403 extending out of the cavity opened in the cavity seat plate 101. At the same time, the fourth servo motor 507 drives the fourth drive gear 508 to rotate. The fourth drive gear 508 meshes with the fourth driven gear 510, causing the fourth drive gear 508 to rotate around the center of the fourth round rod 509 and the center of the fourth driven gear 510. Since the fourth round rod 509 is fixed to the adjusting plate 505, the rotation of the fourth drive gear 508 can drive the arc support plate 506 and the extension frame 403 to rotate relative to the adjusting plate 505, so that the extension frame 403 is kept horizontal with the cavity seat plate 101, which facilitates the extension and increases the length of the seat frame mechanism 1.The first table 401 can be easily moved along the length of the guide rail on the extension frame 403. After the extension frame 403 extends outward, it is easy to move the first table 401 above the cavity seat panel 101. The cavity inside the cavity seat panel 101 is convenient for placing items. The rotating disc 6 at the bottom of the cavity seat panel 101 facilitates the rotation of the seat frame mechanism 1, enabling face-to-face communication with the passengers behind, thus improving ease of use.
