[0024] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0025] In the field of vehicle design, passengers' requirements for seats are no longer limited to safety and functionality, but have begun to pay attention to appearance and comfort. In the design of vehicle seats, foam can provide comfort for passengers and provide better seat support. In related technologies, seats are usually equipped with multiple fixed steel wires for shaping and supporting foam. However, the setting of multiple fixed steel wires can easily cause foam tearing and damage during seat assembly.

[0026] Reference below Figure 1 A seat assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0027] The seat assembly according to the utility model comprises an outer frame skeleton and inner supporting ribs. The outer frame skeleton is arranged around and defines an installation space. The inner supporting ribs are arranged in the installation space and the ends of the inner supporting ribs are connected to the outer frame skeleton.

[0028] According to the seat assembly of the utility model, an outer frame skeleton is provided, and the outer frame skeleton is arranged around and defines the installation space, providing a stable basic frame for the seat assembly. The inner support ribs are arranged in the installation space and connected to the outer frame skeleton, further enhancing the overall structural stability of the seat assembly. This design enables the seat to withstand the weight of the passengers and various forces and vibrations during driving, ensuring the safety and comfort of the passengers. The outer frame skeleton and the support ribs are connected to each other and can be used for the plasticity and support of the seat foam (or other buffer structures). Here, the outer frame skeleton and the support ribs can be fixed steel wires in the related art. However, compared with the solution of multiple fixed steel wires in the background art, the outer frame skeleton and the support ribs are connected to each other to form a complete steel wire, which can reduce the scratching of the steel wire on the seat foam and other buffer structures during the assembly of the seat assembly, prevent the seat foam from being torn during assembly, and avoid the single steel wire from coming out, thereby improving the safety and aesthetics of the seat assembly.

[0029] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the seat assembly further includes a buffer layer and an outer cover, wherein the outer frame skeleton and the inner supporting ribs are respectively embedded in the buffer layer; and the outer cover is sleeved on the outer periphery of the buffer layer. The buffer layer is designed mainly to absorb and disperse the impact force and vibration generated by passengers during the ride. When passengers sit down or the vehicle is driving, the buffer layer can effectively reduce the direct impact of these forces on the passenger's body, thereby improving the ride comfort. In addition, the buffer layer can also reduce noise and vibration to a certain extent, creating a quieter riding environment. The buffer layer can also be simply understood as the foam in the above embodiment.

[0030] As the outer covering of the seat assembly, the cover not only protects the internal structure, but also beautifies the appearance of the seat through different materials, colors and patterns. This helps to improve the overall aesthetics of the vehicle and enhance the riding experience of passengers. The cover is usually made of easy-to-clean materials such as leather and fabric. This design makes it easier to keep the seat assembly clean and hygienic during long-term use. At the same time, if the cover is worn or damaged, it can also be easily replaced and maintained.

[0031] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the free end of the inner support rib is provided with a first annular buckle 1211. The first annular buckle 1211 can prevent the free end of the inner support rib from directly contacting and scratching the foam of the seat, thereby ensuring the safety of the foam.

[0032] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the inner support rib includes: a first section 121, a second section 122 and a third section 123, the first section 121 and the second section 122 respectively extend in the width direction of the seat assembly and are spaced apart in the height direction of the seat assembly; the third section 123 is respectively connected to the first section 121 and the second section 122, and a bending portion 1231 is formed on the third section 123; wherein a first annular buckle 1211 is provided at the free end of the first section 121, and the second section 122 is connected to the outer frame skeleton.

[0033] The seat assembly divides the inner support ribs into a first section 121 and a second section 122 extending in the width direction, and is arranged at intervals in the height direction, which can effectively disperse the load borne by the seat. At the same time, the third section 123 serves as a connecting section, firmly connecting the first section 121 and the second section 122 together to form a stable support structure. This design significantly enhances the support strength of the seat assembly, allowing the seat to withstand greater pressure and vibration. The design of the bending portion 1231 on the third section 123 enables the inner support ribs to better adapt to the shape and force requirements of the seat. The bending portion 1231 can be customized according to the curve or concave part of the seat to ensure that the support ribs fit closely with the seat surface, thereby optimizing the force distribution. This helps to reduce local stress concentration and extend the service life of the seat. In addition, the bending portion 1231 can also increase the matching area between the inner support ribs and the seat foam, which can better plasticize and support the foam.

[0034] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the distance between the first section 121 and the second section 122 is d, and satisfies: 100mm≤d≤120mm. By precisely controlling the distance d between the first section 121 and the second section 122, the weight of the seat assembly can be optimized while ensuring the structural strength. A shorter distance can enhance the interaction force between the support ribs and improve the stability and durability of the overall structure. However, a too short distance may result in material waste and increased processing difficulty. Therefore, limiting d to between 100mm and 120mm is a reasonable compromise, which not only ensures sufficient support strength but also avoids unnecessary weight increase.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the utility model, a plurality of mutually spaced reinforcement parts are formed on the outer frame skeleton. The provision of the reinforcement parts significantly enhances the overall structural strength of the outer frame skeleton. The reinforcement parts can serve as additional support points to disperse and withstand various forces and vibrations to which the seat is subjected during use, thereby reducing deformation or damage caused by excessive force on a single point, and ensuring the long-term stability and safety of the seat. Reasonable arrangement of the reinforcement parts on the outer frame skeleton can optimize the distribution of stress. When subjected to external loads, the reinforcement parts can guide the stress flow to a more reasonable path, avoiding the concentration of stress in certain weak areas, thereby extending the service life of the seat.

[0036] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the outer frame skeleton includes: a first beam 111, a second beam 112 and a third beam 113, the first beam 111 and the second beam 112 respectively extend in the height direction of the seat assembly and are spaced from each other in the width direction of the seat assembly; the third beam 113 is respectively connected to the first beam 111 and the second beam 112 to define an installation space, and the connection positions of the third beam 113 and the first beam 111 and the second beam 112 are respectively provided with a first reinforcement portion 131 and a second reinforcement portion 132.

[0037] The seat assembly is provided with a first beam 111 and a second beam 112 extending in the height direction of the seat assembly. The first beam 111 and the second beam 112 are spaced apart from each other in the width direction and connected by a third beam 113, defining an installation space and forming a stable support frame. This design not only enhances the overall stability of the seat assembly, but also ensures that the forces in different directions can be effectively dispersed and borne. The third beam 113, as a key component connecting the first beam 111 and the second beam 112, not only defines the installation space, but also realizes effective stress transmission through its design, especially the first reinforcement part 131 and the second reinforcement part 132 provided at the connection position, which can further strengthen the structural strength of the connection point, ensuring that when subjected to external force, the stress can be smoothly transmitted to the entire outer frame skeleton, thereby avoiding damage caused by local stress concentration.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first beam 111 is provided with a plurality of third reinforcing portions 133 spaced apart from each other in the extension direction; the second beam 112 is provided with a plurality of fourth reinforcing portions 134 spaced apart from each other in the extension direction; wherein the third reinforcing portions 133 are symmetrical to the fourth reinforcing portions 134 .

[0039] The plurality of third reinforcements 133 and the plurality of fourth reinforcements 134 are arranged at intervals in the extension direction of the first beam 111 and the extension direction of the second beam 112, respectively, to enhance the structural strength and rigidity of the outer frame skeleton, so that the outer frame skeleton can better resist various external forces and vibrations, and maintain the stability and safety of the seat assembly. The symmetrical arrangement of the third reinforcements 133 and the fourth reinforcements 134 helps to optimize the distribution of stress. When subjected to external forces, the symmetrical third reinforcements 133 and the fourth reinforcements 134 can guide the stress to be evenly distributed along the symmetry axis, avoid stress concentration in certain areas, and thus reduce the risk of structural damage.

[0040] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the first beam 111 is connected to the second section 122, and the free end of the second beam 112 is provided with a second annular buckle 1121. The first beam 111 is connected to the second section 122 of the inner support rib, thereby realizing the connection between the outer frame skeleton and the inner support rib. The second annular buckle 1121 can prevent the free end of the outer frame skeleton from scratching the foam, thereby ensuring the safety of the foam.
