Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle seats, in particular to a vehicle seat storage structure.

[0002] The utility model also relates to a vehicle seat provided with the vehicle seat storage structure. Background Art

[0003] Vehicle seats are one of the main components inside a vehicle, for drivers or passengers to sit on. For the vehicle industry, seats are an important design point. Since passengers are in direct contact with the seats, the seats have a significant impact on the quality of vehicle use. With the development of the vehicle industry, the functions of vehicle seats have been fully explored, and are not limited to improving riding comfort. There have also been corresponding innovations in improving seat safety and increasing storage space in the car, which have also become the research and development direction of vehicle technicians of various brands.

[0004] As the space inside the vehicle is limited, people attach great importance to the space utilization rate inside the vehicle, and the storage function inside the vehicle is also a prerequisite for consumers to purchase vehicles. The development of storage space in vehicle seats can effectively utilize every inch of space inside the vehicle without affecting the riding space.

[0005] In the related art, common ways of setting up seat storage space include: hanging a storage bag on the back of the seat, setting a storage box under the seat, and setting a rotatable storage armrest box on the middle seat in the back row, etc. Passengers can put some small items such as mobile phones, wallets, keys, etc. into the storage container, so that the items are within reach and can be easily taken at any time.

[0006] However, if a storage bag is hung on the back of the seat and items are placed in the storage bag, the activity space in front of the rear passengers will be occupied, and the vehicle will shake when it is driving, which poses a certain safety hazard. If a storage box is set under the seat, it will take up a large lower space, resulting in a reduction in the activity space for the feet of the rear passengers. If a storage structure is set on the rotatable armrest in the rear row, the armrest must be rotated when you want to take or put items, resulting in the middle seat in the back row being unable to be sat, and also occupying the available space for passengers in the car. When actually used, the above three seat storage structures will occupy the available space of the occupants, resulting in a reduction in the quality of the vehicle seats. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of this, the utility model aims to provide a vehicle seat storage structure to improve the use quality of the vehicle seat.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the utility model is implemented as follows:

[0009] A vehicle seat storage structure is installed on a preset recessed portion of a seat backrest, and the storage structure comprises:

[0010] An open storage container is flipped and arranged on the seat back; the storage container has a storage state in which it is accommodated and held in the recessed portion, and an open state in which it is flipped and exposed to the opening;

[0011] In the storage state, the outer surface of the storage container follows the surface of the seat back.

[0012] Furthermore, a retaining assembly is provided between the storage container and the seat back, and in the storage state, the retaining assembly serves to accommodate and retain the storage container within the seat back.

[0013] Furthermore, the retaining component includes a first component that follows the storage container and a second component that is retained on the seat back; when the storage container switches from the open state to the storage state, the first component gradually approaches the second component to form a magnetic attraction.

[0014] Furthermore, the first component is configured as a magnet, and the second component is configured as an iron plate.

[0015] Furthermore, a soft finishing layer is attached to the outer surface of the storage container.

[0016] Furthermore, an access hole is provided through the outer wall of the storage container facing the front of the vehicle.

[0017] Furthermore, a tightening device is provided in the storage container, and the tightening device is configured to apply a tightening force to the object accommodated in the storage container so as to keep the object in the storage container.

[0018] Furthermore, the storage container is provided with a handle, and in the storage state, at least a portion of the handle is exposed outside the storage container.

[0019] Furthermore, a decorative panel facing the front of the vehicle is provided in the recessed portion, a pair of brackets extending toward the front of the vehicle are fixedly mounted on the decorative panel, and two side walls of the storage container are pivotally connected to the corresponding brackets.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0021] The vehicle seat storage structure described in the utility model, by arranging a recessed portion on the seat back and arranging a flip open storage container in the recessed portion, excavates the space inside the vehicle seat as a storage space, so that the storage space inside the vehicle is increased without occupying the available space of the passengers in the vehicle; the storage structure does not destroy the original structure of the seat back, and the storage container follows the shape of the vehicle seat when in the storage state, so that the passengers are not easy to feel the foreign body when leaning against the vehicle seat, the integrity is better, and the comfort of using the seat is not affected.

[0022] In addition, the holding component can maintain the storage state of the storage container. When the vehicle is bumpy during driving, the storage container is not easily accidentally opened due to vibration, and has good use stability. By arranging the first component on the storage container and the second component on the seat back, the storage containers will be close to each other and adsorbed due to magnetic force during the closing process, which has a certain labor-saving effect and makes the storage structure have better use quality.

[0023] Secondly, the first component uses magnets and the second component uses iron plates, which can reduce manufacturing costs while ensuring the magnetic attraction effect and are easy to process. The soft finishing layer applied to the outer surface of the storage container can optimize the touch feel, giving the storage container a high-end texture and improving the quality of use. After setting the access hole, when the storage container is in the storage state, the occupants can directly take out smaller items through the access hole, which improves the convenience of the storage structure when in use.

[0024] Furthermore, a tightening device is provided in the storage container to compress the items in the storage container, so that the items are not easy to jump in the storage container when the vehicle is bumpy, which can protect the storage container and the items. A hand pull is provided on the storage container to facilitate the occupants to pull to open the storage container. The decorative panel can cover the relevant seat structure behind the recessed part. When the storage container is open, the occupants will not see the internal seat structure, which improves the overall appearance quality of the seat. The bracket can facilitate the installation of the storage container, and the structure of the storage container pivotally connected to the bracket is simple and reliable.

[0025] Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle seat, wherein the vehicle seat is equipped with the above-mentioned vehicle seat storage structure.

[0041] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0042] Embodiment 1

[0043] The present embodiment relates to a vehicle seat storage structure, which is used to tap and utilize the internal space of the vehicle seat, increase the storage space in the vehicle without occupying the existing available space in the vehicle, and improve practicality.

[0044] In terms of overall structure, the vehicle seat storage structure of the utility model is installed on a preset recessed portion of the seat back 7, and the storage structure includes an open storage container 1, which is flipped and arranged on the seat back 7. The storage container 1 has a storage state in which the storage container 1 is accommodated and maintained in the recessed portion, and an open state in which the storage container 1 is flipped and exposed. In the storage state, the outer surface of the storage container 1 follows the surface of the seat back 7.

[0045] As described above, by providing a recessed portion on the seat back 7 and providing a reversible open storage container 1 in the recessed portion, the present embodiment can exploit the space inside the vehicle seat as storage space, thereby increasing the storage space inside the vehicle without occupying the available space for the passengers in the vehicle. At the same time, the storage structure does not destroy the original structure of the seat back 7, and the storage container 1 follows the vehicle seat when in the storage state, so that the passengers are not likely to feel a foreign body when leaning against the vehicle seat, which does not affect the comfort of the seat and can make the seat have better integrity.

[0046] Based on the above overall introduction, specifically, the above-mentioned seat back 7 is the part of the seat for the passenger to lean on when sitting. The storage structure of this embodiment can be set in any number on any seat back 7, and it is only necessary to set a corresponding recessed portion on the corresponding seat back 7.

[0047] Taking the storage container 1 as an example, the storage container 1 is arranged on the middle seat back 7 of the rear row of the vehicle. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the storage container 1 is configured as a bucket-shaped box body with an open top, and the side wall located at the front is the appearance side wall 103. When the storage container 1 is in the storage state, the outer surface of the appearance side wall 103 is the outer surface of the storage container 1 conforming to the seat back 7. In this embodiment, the recessed portion is provided at the bottom of the seat back, and the appearance side wall 103 conforms to the bottom of the seat back and is in the shape of a cylindrical curved surface. Both ends of the appearance side wall 103 are extended in the vehicle width direction, and can shield other components on both sides of the storage container 1 when the storage container 1 is in the storage state. A small gap is provided between the appearance side wall 103 and the inner wall of the recessed portion of the seat back 7, so that the appearance side wall 103 does not rub against the recessed portion when the storage container 1 is turned over, and it is more labor-saving when the storage container 1 is turned.

[0048] It should be noted that the storage container 1 may also be other forms of containers, such as configuring the other parts except the exterior side wall 103 as a flexible bag body. It is only necessary to ensure that the exterior side wall 103 follows the shape of the seat back 7 when the storage container 1 is closed, and there are no other restrictions.

[0049] In order to improve the convenience of using the storage container 1, a taking hole 101 is provided through the outer wall of the storage container 1 facing the front of the vehicle. Figure 1 The outer wall of the storage container 1 facing the front of the vehicle is the aforementioned exterior side wall 103. The provision of the access hole 101 allows the occupant to take out smaller items inside, such as data cables, tissues, etc., without opening the storage container 1, thereby improving the convenience of using the storage container 1. The access hole 101 can be set to any shape according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the access hole 101 is set to be an oblong hole extending along the width direction of the vehicle, which can facilitate the passage of items such as tissues through the hole.

[0050] In order to improve the use quality of the storage structure, a decorative plate 6 facing the front of the vehicle is provided in the recessed portion, a pair of brackets 4 extending toward the front of the vehicle are fixedly mounted on the decorative plate 6, and two side walls of the storage container 1 are pivotally connected to the corresponding brackets 4. Specifically, a rotating shaft 401 is fixedly provided on each bracket 4, and two opposite side walls of the storage container 1 along the length direction of the outer side wall 103 are rotatably connected to the corresponding rotating shaft 401, so that the storage container 1 can be rotated along the rotating shaft 401, and the structure of the storage container 1 pivotally connected to the bracket 4 is simple and reliable.

[0051] The decorative panel 6 can shield the relevant seat structure behind the recessed part, such as the frame and sheet metal parts of the seat. When the storage container 1 is opened, the occupant can only see the decorative panel 6 inside through the recessed part of the seat back 7, but not the seat structure inside, which improves the overall appearance quality of the seat. The rear bottom of the storage container 1 will approach the decorative panel 6 during the opening process of the storage container 1, and the maximum opening angle is reached when the rear bottom of the storage container 1 contacts the decorative panel 6. Based on this, the present embodiment provides a rounded corner 104 at the rear bottom of the storage container 1, which can increase the angle of the storage container 1 when it is flipped open, and improve the convenience of taking things from the storage container 1 when it is in use.

[0052] For the installation form of the storage structure, the specific structure of the bracket 4 can be designed according to the actual situation of the seat back 7. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, two brackets 4 with different structures are used, one bracket 4 is a metal piece with a "Z"-shaped cross section, and the other bracket 4 is a metal piece with an "L"-shaped cross section. One end of the "Z"-shaped metal piece is fixedly connected to the decorative plate 6, and the other end is fixedly provided with a rotating shaft 401. The "L"-shaped metal piece passes through the decorative plate 6, and the "L"-shaped opening faces the storage container 1. Another rotating shaft 401 is fixedly provided at one end of the "L"-shaped metal piece, and a connecting portion 402 is provided at the other end. The connecting portion 402 is connected to the frame in the seat back 7 to form a reversible connection between the storage container 1 and the seat back 7. The connection method of the connecting portion 402 and the frame can be welding, bolt connection or riveting, etc. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 402 is bolted to the frame, and a plurality of mounting holes 4021 are correspondingly provided on the connecting portion 402 for the bolts to pass through.

[0053] In order to improve the practicality of the storage container 1, a retaining assembly 5 is provided between the storage container 1 and the seat back 7. In the storage state, the retaining assembly 5 constitutes the storage container 1 in the seat back 7. The retaining assembly 5 can maintain the storage state of the storage container 1. When the vehicle is bumpy during driving or when the centrifugal force is generated during turning, the storage container 1 is not easily accidentally opened due to vibration, and has better use stability.

[0054] Specifically, in order to make the holding component 5 have better use quality, the holding component 5 includes a first component 501 that follows the storage container 1, and a second component 502 that is held on the seat back 7. In the process of switching the storage container 1 from the open state to the storage state, the first component 501 gradually approaches the second component 502 to form a magnetic attraction. By setting the first component 501 on the storage container 1 and the second component 502 on the seat back 7, in the later stage of the closing process of the storage container 1, the first component 501 will actively approach the second component 502 due to the magnetic attraction and maintain the storage state of the storage container 1, which has a certain labor-saving effect and improves the use quality of the storage structure when in use.

[0055] It is understandable that the retaining component 5 can also adopt other structures with locking and retaining functions, such as a spring snap structure, a spring reset structure, etc., which can also play a retaining role when the storage container 1 is in the storage state when in use. However, compared with the magnetic structure of this embodiment, the above structure has a poor feel during actual use and a lower quality of use.

[0056] Furthermore, the first component 501 is configured as a magnet, and the second component 502 is configured as an iron plate. The manufacturing process of the combination of the magnet and the iron plate is relatively simple, which can save manufacturing costs. Of course, it is also possible to configure the first component 501 as an iron plate and the second component 502 as a magnet. This is just an equivalent replacement in a simple position and does not affect the specific function realization.

[0057] In this embodiment, an extension column 102 is provided on any side wall of the storage container 1 that is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 401, and the first component 501 is fixed to the end of the extension column 102. The extension column 102 can shorten the distance between the first component 501 and the second component 502, thereby increasing the magnetic attraction. The second component 502 is pre-embedded in the foam structure of the seat back 7, which has a better fixing effect.

[0058] It is worth noting that the magnetic attraction structure of the first component 501 and the second component 502 can also be set to a form in which two magnets attract each other, which has a stronger adsorption ability than the combination of the above-mentioned magnet and iron plate. In specific implementation, it can be flexibly selected from the two forms according to needs.

[0059] The items in the storage container 1 may shake or collide when the vehicle is driving. In order to reduce the shaking of the items, a tightening device 2 is provided in the storage container 1. The tightening device 2 is configured to apply a tightening force to the objects contained in the storage container 1 so that the objects are kept in the storage container 1. The tightening device 2 can press and fix the objects in the storage container 1, so that when the vehicle is bumpy or turns, the compressed objects are not easy to move in the storage container 1 and collide with the inner wall of the storage container 1, which can protect the storage container 1 and the contained objects. In addition, when placing tissue paper in the storage container 1, the tightening device 2 can fix the tissue paper box and pull the tissue paper out of the extraction hole 101, so that the occupant can continuously or repeatedly extract tissue paper in the storage state of the storage container 1 without the tissue paper box being pulled and moved.

[0060] In this embodiment, the tightening device 2 is a whole elastic band, and both ends are connected to the inner wall of the storage container 1, and the objects are pressed against the inner wall of the storage container 1 by its own elasticity. It can be understood that the tightening device 2 can also adopt other structural forms, such as structural forms similar to binding ropes, pin buckle belts, etc., as long as the contained objects can be detachably pressed against the inner wall of the storage container 1.

[0061] In order to facilitate opening of the storage container 1, a hand pull 3 is provided on the storage container 1. When in the storage state, at least part of the hand pull 3 is exposed outside the storage container 1. The occupant can quickly open the storage container 1 by pulling the part of the hand pull 3 outside the storage container 1, making the use of the storage structure of this embodiment more convenient. The hand pull 3 can be a handle, a pull ring or a flexible belt, etc. In this embodiment, the hand pull 3 is a flexible belt, one end of which is fixed to the inner wall of the storage container 1, and the other end passes through the open part of the storage container 1. When the storage container 1 is in the storage state, the part of the flexible belt outside the storage container 1 is not easy to cause a foreign body sensation on the back of the occupant, and does not reduce the comfort of the seat back 7.

[0062] As a further improvement of the use quality of the storage structure, a soft finishing layer is attached to the outer surface of the storage container 1. The finishing layer has a good feel and can be made of materials such as genuine leather or artificial leather, which can effectively improve the use quality of the seat back 7. The finishing layer can also be made of the same material as the surface of the seat back 7, so that the appearance of the storage container 1 is more integrated than the seat back 7.

[0063] Embodiment 2

[0064] This embodiment relates to a vehicle seat, which is equipped with the vehicle seat storage structure in the first embodiment.

[0065] By adopting the vehicle seat storage structure in the first embodiment, the space inside the vehicle seat can be used for storage, thereby improving the functionality and convenience of the vehicle seat, and further improving the quality of use of the vehicle seat. When the storage container 1 is closed, the storage structure is completely accommodated in the seat back 7, does not occupy the available space of the vehicle occupants, improves the utilization rate of the vehicle space, and improves the quality of use of the vehicle seat.

[0066] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
