Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle cockpits, in particular to a vehicle cockpit change structure. Background Art

[0002] The automotive industry is entering a new node, and various technological changes are helping the industry move from electrification to a new era of intelligence. The automotive market has increasingly higher requirements for electrification and intelligence, and end customers are becoming more and more picky about the overall interior design and the comfort level of their interior space, requiring the diversity of space utilization to be developed as much as possible within the limited space in the car.

[0003] In the cockpit layout structure of most cars, the main consideration is the car's riding space, using a 2-3 layout, i.e. two seats in the front row and three seats in the back row. The expandability of the interior space is poor and lacks a sense of luxury. Some manufacturers have developed foldable rear seats, which allows the car to change from five seats to two seats, expanding the use space of the trunk. However, the market lacks a design that transforms a traditional five-seater car into a four-seater business car. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the utility model provides a vehicle cabin change structure, the purpose of which is to realize the design of transforming a traditional five-seater vehicle into a commercial four-seater vehicle and improve the flexibility of vehicle use.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A vehicle cabin change structure includes a cabin body, the main points of which are: a main seat, a secondary seat, a rear left seat, a rear middle seat and a rear right seat are arranged in the cabin body, an armrest box is provided between the main seat and the secondary seat, the rear middle seat includes a seat frame frame and a seat cushion adjustably mounted on the seat frame frame, and the seat cushion can be converted from a normal sitting state to a docking state with the rear end of the armrest box by adjusting the seat cushion.

[0007] By adopting the above structure, the car cabin layout can be switched between the traditional five-seater and the business four-seater at will, taking into account the riding space while expanding the usable area of ​​the armrest box, making the vehicle smarter and more advanced.

[0008] As a preference, the front part of the seat cushion is rotatably connected to the front part of the seat frame frame via a support shaft, and the seat cushion can be turned forward relative to the seat frame frame by manual or electric control. With the above structure, the seat cushion can be connected to the front armrest box.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the lower end surface of the seat cushion is set to a horizontal shape, and the upper end surface is inclined from the rear to the upper side. With the above structure, the lower end surface of the seat cushion after flipping is the use surface, which is made horizontal for easy use, and a comfortable riding space can be guaranteed when the middle seat in the rear row is used.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the seat cushion can be raised after flipping forward, and its lower end surface is flush with the upper end surface of the armrest box. With the above structure, the seat cushion and the armrest box are spliced ​​to increase the usable area of ​​the armrest box.

[0011] As a preference: a position limiting support structure is provided on the rear end surface of the armrest box, and the seat cushion cooperates with the position limiting support structure after being turned over to fix and support the seat cushion. The above structure is simple in design and can fix the turned-over seat cushion without adding any extra components.

[0012] Preferably, the position-limiting support structure is a stepped structure, and the lateral support portion of the position-limiting support structure is an inclined plane, the inclination of which is adapted to the inclination of the upper end surface of the seat cushion. The above structure is adapted to the shape of the seat cushion and firmly supports the flipped seat cushion.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the seat cushion is movably mounted on the seat frame frame through a connecting rod, one end of the connecting rod is hinged to the front of the seat frame frame, and the other end is hinged to the bottom of the seat cushion, and the rear end of the seat cushion is rotatably and slidably connected to the seat frame frame. With the above structure, the seat cushion can be automatically connected to the armrest box without manual flipping.

[0014] Preferably, a driving mechanism is provided on the seat frame, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the connecting rod to rotate or drive the seat cushion to slide, so as to realize the seat cushion to move forward and connect with the armrest box. The above structure is adopted to provide power for the seat cushion movement.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, a small table is integrated on the seat cushion, and the seat cushion can be rotated forward to a vertical position. When the seat cushion is fixed in a vertical position, the small table can be connected to the armrest box. The above structure can increase the usable area of ​​the armrest box.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0017] 1. Flip the rear middle seat forward and connect it to the front armrest box to change the cabin layout from 2-3 to 2-2, that is, from a conventional five-seat structure to a four-seat business structure.

[0018] 2. After the seat cushion is flipped forward, it is raised and the lower end surface is flush with the upper end surface of the armrest box, which expands the use area of ​​the armrest box.

[0019] 3. When the in-vehicle layout is changed by manually flipping the seat cushion, a stepped limit support structure is provided at the rear end of the armrest box. The stepped shape is adapted to the rear end of the seat cushion and is used to fix and support the seat cushion. The design is simple and the cost is low. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
