[0089] The following description will describe the content of the present application more comprehensively with reference to the accompanying drawings. The exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the exemplary embodiments set forth herein. These exemplary embodiments are provided to make the present application thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art. Similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components. The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing particular exemplary embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well. Further, when used herein, "comprising" and / or "including" and / or "having", integers, steps, operations, components and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, components and / or groups thereof. Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. Further, terms such as those defined in a general dictionary should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the relevant art and the content of this application, and will not be interpreted as idealized or overly formal meanings.

[0090] Generally, based on comprehensive considerations such as ride comfort, the multi-row seats in a vehicle are usually configured to allow occupants to sit in the same direction. However, with the continuous expansion of in-vehicle usage scenarios, there are also scenarios where vehicle occupants need to sit face to face. And due to in-vehicle space limitations and safety considerations, the seats in a vehicle are usually set to not be rotatable as a whole. How to solve the above problems, while considering space utilization and actual usage convenience, and meeting the needs of vehicle occupants to sit face to face, is what those skilled in the art need to consider.

[0091] Correspondingly, the present application provides a folding stool and a seat assembly and a vehicle applying the same. The folding stool is applied to the seat assembly of a vehicle, and the folding stool includes an adapter plate, a bearing plate, and a support plate. The adapter plate is used to connect to the seat assembly of the vehicle; the bearing plate is rotatably connected to the adapter plate; the support plate is disposed on the same side of the adapter plate and the bearing plate, the support plate includes a first end and a second end, the first end is slidably connected to the bearing plate, and the second end is rotatably connected to the adapter plate. The seat assembly includes a seat body and the folding stool as described in any one of the foregoing embodiments, and the folding stool is fixed to the seat body. The vehicle includes a main body portion, and the folding stool or the seat assembly as described above, and the folding stool or the seat assembly is installed on the main body portion.

[0092] Furthermore, the adapter plate and the carrier plate are rotatably connected in sequence, enabling the folding stool to rotate and switch between the storage state and the unfolded state, thereby achieving the demand for a face-to-face seating scenario while maintaining a high space utilization rate. And the carrier plate is rotatably connected to the adapter plate. Driving the carrier plate can cause the carrier plate to rotate relative to the adapter plate, and driving the carrier plate can achieve the folding of the folding stool, making the folding stool highly convenient to use. The rotatable connection between the carrier plate and the adapter plate can endow the carrier plate with the ability to rotate and be stored, taking into account both space utilization efficiency and ease of use. The support plate is disposed on the same side of the adapter plate and the carrier plate. By driving the carrier plate, the carrier plate and the support plate can be synchronously driven to rotate relative to the adapter plate respectively, making the use process convenient and efficient. The first end is slidably connected to the carrier plate, and the second end is rotatably connected to the adapter plate. The support plate can rotate through the second end and be connected to the adapter plate while maintaining a relatively fixed connection position. The support plate is connected to the carrier plate through the first end and can slide to change their relative position relationship. When the carrier plate rotates relative to the adapter plate, the support plate rotates following the rotation of the carrier plate, which can not only avoid negative interference with the rotation of the carrier plate but also enable the support plate to cooperate with the carrier plate and the adapter plate to form a stable support structure to support the rotated carrier plate, enabling the carrier plate to effectively support the vehicle occupants. The seat assembly and the vehicle are applied with the folding stool, effectively expanding the usage scenarios of the seat assembly and the vehicle, enabling the seat assembly to have more diverse functions, and enabling the vehicle to provide more diverse usage scenarios.

[0093] Those skilled in the art can understand that a "folding stool" refers to a structure that can rotate and switch between a storage state and an unfolded state and can be used to provide support for an occupant.

[0094] Those skilled in the art can understand that "rotatably connected" means that at least two structures are in a connected state rather than a spaced state, and at the same time, one of the at least two structures can rotate a certain angle relative to the other along at least one direction.

[0095] Those skilled in the art can understand that "slidably connected" means that one of at least two structures can slide relative to the other along at least one direction, and at the same time, there is at least one instantaneous state or continuous state during the sliding process such that the at least two structures can be connected as a stressed whole.

[0096] The following content will describe exemplary embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the components depicted in the reference drawings are not necessarily shown to scale; and the same or similar components will be given the same or similar reference numerals or similar technical terms.

[0097] The following will further describe in detail the specific implementation manners of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0098] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a folding stool 10, which is applied to the seat assembly 1 of a vehicle 2. The folding stool 10 includes a connecting plate 14, an adapter plate 13, a bearing plate 12, and a support plate 11. The adapter plate 13 is connected to one end of the connecting plate 14 facing away from the seat body 19 of the seat assembly 1. The bearing plate 12 is connected to the end of the adapter plate 13 away from the connecting plate 14. The support plate 11 is disposed between the adapter plate 13 and the bearing plate 12, and the support plate 11 is respectively connected to the adapter plate 13 and the bearing plate 12.

[0099] In one embodiment, the connecting plate 14 is used to connect to the seat assembly 1 of the vehicle 2; the adapter plate 13 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 14 and is connected to the seat assembly 1 of the vehicle 2 through the connecting plate 14; the bearing plate 12 is rotatably connected to the adapter plate 13; the support plate 11 is disposed on the same side of the adapter plate 13 and the bearing plate 12. The support plate 11 includes a first end 111 and a second end 112. The first end 111 is slidably connected to the bearing plate 12, and the second end 112 is rotatably connected to the adapter plate 13.

[0100] It can be understood that the connecting plate 14, the adapter plate 13, and the bearing plate 12 are sequentially rotatably connected, enabling the folding stool 10 to rotate and switch between the storage state and the unfolded state, thereby meeting the requirement of the face-to-face sitting scenario while maintaining a high space utilization rate; and the bearing plate 12 is connected to the connecting plate 14 through the adapter plate 13. Driving the bearing plate 12 can not only make the bearing plate 12 rotate relative to the adapter plate 13, but also drive the adapter plate 13 to rotate relative to the connecting plate 14; that is, driving the bearing plate 12 can realize the folding of the folding stool 10, making the folding stool 10 have a high degree of use convenience.

[0101] Furthermore, the adapter plate 13 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 14, which can be used to expand the seating space of the folding stool 10 and reduce the height of the bearing plate 12, thereby improving the seating comfort. The bearing plate 12 is rotatably connected to the adapter plate 13, which can endow the bearing plate 12 with the ability to rotate and be stored, taking into account both the space utilization efficiency and the usage convenience. The support plate 11 is arranged on the same side of the adapter plate 13 and the bearing plate 12. By driving the bearing plate 12, the bearing plate 12 and the support plate 11 can be synchronously driven to rotate relative to the adapter plate 13 respectively, making the usage process convenient and efficient. The first end 111 is slidably connected to the bearing plate 12, and the second end 112 is rotatably connected to the adapter plate 13. The support plate 11 can rotate through the second end 112 and the adapter plate 13 and can keep the connection position relatively fixed. The support plate 11 is connected to the bearing plate 12 through the first end 111 and can slide to change the relative position relationship between the two. When the bearing plate 12 rotates relative to the adapter plate 13, the support plate 11 rotates following the rotation of the bearing plate 12, which can not only avoid negative interference with the rotation of the bearing plate 12 but also enable the support plate 11 to cooperate with the bearing plate 12 and the adapter plate 13 to form a stable triangular support structure to support the rotated bearing plate 12, so that the bearing plate 12 can provide effective support for the driver and passengers.

[0102] In this embodiment, the first end 111 and the second end 112 respectively correspond to the two spaced ends of the support plate 11.

[0103] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 14, the adapter plate 13, the bearing plate 12, and the support plate 11 are all shown as being generally plate-shaped. Among them, one end of the connecting plate 14 in the length direction is used to connect the skeleton 191 of the seat assembly 1, and the other end is used to connect the adapter plate 13. The two ends of the adapter plate 13 spaced in the length direction are respectively used to connect the bearing plate 12 and the connecting plate 14, and one side of the bearing plate 12 in the width direction is connected to the adapter plate 13.

[0104] In this embodiment, the rotation angle range between the adapter plate 13 and the connecting plate 14 can be approximately 5° to 15°, specifically 10°. The rotation angle range between the adapter plate 13 and the bearing plate 12 can be approximately 75° to 85°, specifically 80°. The rotation angle range between the adapter plate 13 and the support plate 11 can change accordingly.

[0105] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, it is a schematic diagram of the folding stool 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application in the storage state. In the storage state, the support plate 11, the bearing plate 12, and the adapter plate 13 are arranged to extend in substantially the same direction, or it can be understood that the support plate 11, the bearing plate 12, and the adapter plate 13 are in a substantially parallel state to save the arrangement space. At the same time, the adapter plate 13 and the connection plate 14 are arranged at an angle, and the adapter plate 13 is inclined as much as possible towards the end close to the connection plate 14 for connecting the frame 191 of the seat assembly 1, so that the support plate 11, the bearing plate 12, and the adapter plate 13 arranged in substantially the same direction can be stored in a manner parallel to and as close as possible to the backrest of the seat assembly 1.

[0106] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown in the figure, it is a schematic diagram of the folding stool 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application in the unfolded state. In the unfolded state, the adapter plate 13 and the connection plate 14 are arranged at an angle, and the adapter plate 13 is inclined as much as possible towards the end away from the connection plate 14 for connecting the frame 191 of the seat assembly 1; the bearing plate 12 is connected to the adapter plate 13 and arranged at an angle, so that the bearing plate 12 extends to a state of being substantially horizontal in the actual use state, thereby ensuring that the bearing plate 12 can be used for sitting; the support plate 11 is arranged at an angle with the adapter plate 13 and the bearing plate 12 respectively, the support plate 11 is connected to the adapter plate 13 and the bearing plate 12 respectively, and the support plate 11, the bearing plate 12, and the adapter plate 13 cooperate with each other to form a triangular support structure.

[0107] As Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown Figure 3 is a partial enlarged schematic diagram of the folding stool 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application in the storage state, Figure 6 is a partial enlarged schematic diagram of the folding stool 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application in the unfolded state.

[0108] In this embodiment, the folding stool 10 has an arrangement direction L, an extension direction T, and a rotation direction R. In the storage state, the arrangement direction L corresponds to the width direction of the bearing plate 12, and / or the length direction of the support plate 11, and / or the length direction of the adapter plate 13; in the storage state and the unfolded state, the extension direction T corresponds to the length direction of the bearing plate 12, and / or the width direction of the support plate 11, and / or the width direction of the adapter plate 13, and / or the width direction of the connecting plate 14; the rotation direction R corresponds to the direction in which the bearing plate 12 can rotate relative to the adapter plate 13, and / or the direction in which the support plate 11 can rotate relative to the adapter plate 13, and / or the direction in which the adapter plate 13 can rotate relative to the connecting plate 14. Wherein, the arrow direction of the rotation direction R is the rotation path when the folding stool 10 changes from the storage state to the unfolded state; those skilled in the art can understand that along the reverse direction of the arrow of the rotation direction R, the bearing plate 12 can also rotate relative to the adapter plate 13, and / or the support plate 11 can also rotate relative to the adapter plate 13, and / or the adapter plate 13 can also rotate relative to the connecting plate 14.

[0109] In one embodiment, the bearing plate 12 includes a third end portion 123, the adapter plate 13 includes a fourth end portion 131, and the third end portion 123 is rotatably connected to the fourth end portion 131. The third end portion 123 and the fourth end portion 131 are located between the first end portion 111 and the second end portion 112 along the connection line direction of the first end portion 111 and the second end portion 112.

[0110] It can be understood that in the storage state, the third end portion 123 and the fourth end portion 131 are located between the first end portion 111 and the second end portion 112 along the arrangement direction L, that is, the first end portion 111 is higher than the third end portion 123 and the fourth end portion 131 by a certain distance along the arrangement direction L. In the unfolded state, since the bearing plate 12 rotates by a certain angle relative to the adapter plate 13 along the rotation direction R, the first end portion 111 is driven to rotate with the bearing plate 12 and thus shift toward the side of the third end portion 123 and the fourth end portion 131, so that after the first end portion 111 slides with the bearing plate 12, it can cooperate with the bearing plate 12 and the adapter plate 13 to form a triangular support structure.

[0111] In this embodiment, the first end portion 111 and the bearing plate 12 are slidably connected through the cooperation of the guide member 115 and the guide structure 126, the second end portion 112 and the adapter plate 13 are rotatably connected through the second rotating shaft assembly 16, and the third end portion 123 and the fourth end portion 131 are rotatably connected through the first rotating shaft assembly 15.

[0112] It can be understood that the first rotating shaft assembly 15, the second rotating shaft assembly 16 and the guide member 115 are all extended in the extension direction T, so that the rotatably connected adapter plate 13 and the support plate 11 and the similarly rotatably connected carrier plate 12 and the adapter plate 13 can rotate in the same rotation direction R.

[0113] In one embodiment, the carrier plate 12 is provided with a first receiving groove 125 extending to the third end 123, and the first end 111 is located in the first receiving groove 125. The adapter plate 13 is provided with a second receiving groove 134 extending to the fourth end 131, and the second end 112 is located in the second receiving groove 134. The first receiving groove 125 and the second receiving groove 134 are configured to be connected to each other for accommodating the support plate 11.

[0114] In this embodiment, the folding stool 10 is in the storage state as an example for demonstration, the third end 123 extends from one side of the supporting plate 12 along the arrangement direction L, and the first accommodating groove 125 extends from the middle of the supporting plate 12 toward the side where the third end 123 is located along the arrangement direction L to pass through the third end 123; the fourth end 131 is located at one end of the adapter plate 13 close to the supporting plate 12, and the second accommodating groove 134 extends from the middle of the adapter plate 13 toward the side where the fourth end 131 is located along the arrangement direction L to the fourth end 131.

[0115] It can be understood that the first receiving groove 125 can be formed by the depression of the carrier plate 12, and the second receiving groove 134 can be formed by the depression of the adapter plate 13, and the first receiving groove 125 and the second receiving groove 134 can be connected at the connection between the third end 123 and the fourth end 131. In the storage state, the first receiving groove 125 and the second receiving groove 134 can be connected along the arrangement direction L to form a cavity sufficient to accommodate the support plate 11 to be embedded. When the folding stool 10 is in the storage state, different parts of the support plate 11 can be respectively accommodated in the first receiving groove 125 and the second receiving groove 134, so that the support plate 11 can be accommodated inside the carrier plate 12 and the adapter plate 13, thereby improving space utilization.

[0116] In this embodiment, the length of the cavity formed after the first accommodating groove 125 is connected with the second accommodating groove 134 along the arrangement direction L is greater than the length of the support plate 11 along the arrangement direction L; specifically, a redundant space is provided at one end of the first accommodating groove 125 away from the second accommodating groove 134 for the support plate 11 to slide relative to the supporting plate 12.

[0117] It can be understood that when the folding stool 10 is transformed from the stored state to the unfolded state, the first end 111 can slide a distance from the side close to the third end 123 to the side away from the third end 123 to achieve the unfolding of the folding stool 10.

[0118] In one embodiment, the carrier plate 12 rotates relative to the adapter plate 13 in the rotation direction R, and the guide member 115 is disposed in the chute 127 along the extension direction T, and the extension direction T intersects the plane where the rotation direction R is located.

[0119] In this embodiment, taking the case where the extension direction T is perpendicular to the plane where the rotation direction R is located as an example for illustration, in other embodiments, the plane where the extension direction T and the rotation direction R are located may also intersect at other angles.

[0120] It can be understood that the guide member 115 disposed along the extension direction T cooperates with the chute 127 recessed along the extension direction T to ensure that the guide member 115 is always in sliding connection with the guide structure 126 during the rotation of the folding stool 10 and does not fall out.

[0121] In one embodiment, the adapter plate 13 further includes a fifth end portion 132, and the connecting plate 14 includes a sixth end portion 141. The fifth end portion 132 is located on one side of the sixth end portion 141 and is rotatably connected to the sixth end portion 141.

[0122] Further in combination with Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the carrier plate 12 includes a second plate body 120, and the second plate body 120 is configured to provide support for the driver and passengers. The third end portion 123 protrudes and extends from one side of the second plate body 120. The second plate body 120 includes opposite first surface 121 and second surface 122. The first surface 121 and the second surface 122 are the two surfaces with the largest areas in the second plate body 120. The first surface 121 is the seating surface for the driver and passengers, and the second surface 122 is recessed toward the first surface 121 to form a first receiving groove 125.

[0123] In one embodiment, the carrier plate 12 includes a guide structure 126. The guide structure 126 is provided with a chute 127, and the chute 127 extends from the side of the carrier plate 12 close to the adapter plate 13 to the side of the carrier plate 12 away from the adapter plate 13. The guide structure 126 is disposed in the first receiving groove 125, and the chute 127 is recessed along the extension direction T toward the side away from the first receiving groove 125.

[0124] In one embodiment, the guide structure 126 is provided with two spaced chutes 127. The first end portion 111 is located between the two chutes 127. The two chutes 127 are respectively located on opposite sides of the first receiving groove 125, and each chute 127 can be respectively used to receive one end of the guide member 115 along the extension direction T.

[0125] In this embodiment, two first mounting holes 124 are further formed in the third end portion 123. The two first mounting holes 124 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the first receiving groove 125. The two first mounting holes 124 are used to receive the first rotating shaft assembly 15 to realize the rotational connection between the third end portion 123 and the fourth end portion 131.

[0126] Further in combination with Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the support plate 11 includes a first plate body 110 which is configured to provide support for the adapter plate 13 and the carrier plate 12. The first end portion 111 and the second end portion 112 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the first plate body 110. The guide member 115 penetrates through the first end portion 111 and the end portion of the guide member 115 protrudes from the first plate body 110. The second rotating shaft assembly 16 penetrates through the second end portion 112 and the end portion of the second rotating shaft assembly 16 protrudes from the first plate body 110. Two ends of the guide member 115 along the extending direction T are configured to be respectively disposed in a sliding groove 127.

[0127] In this embodiment, the end portion of the guide member 115 that protrudes from the first end portion 111 is a sliding end 116. The two sliding ends 116 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the support plate 11. An assembly ring 114 can be sleeved on each sliding end 116.

[0128] Further in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the guide member 115 is connected to the first end portion 111, and the end portion of the guide member 115 is movably disposed in the sliding groove 127. Two ends of the guide member 115 extend and protrude toward two sides of the first end portion 111 along the extending direction T for extending into the sliding groove 127. That is, the first end portion 111 is received in the first receiving groove 125, and the end portion of the guide member 115 is received in the sliding groove 127.

[0129] In this embodiment, the two sliding ends 116 are respectively disposed in the two sliding grooves 127 to improve the stability of the sliding connection between the support plate 11 and the carrier plate 12 and realize guiding.

[0130] In this embodiment, taking the folding stool 10 in the storage state as an example for display, the sliding groove 127 and the first receiving groove 125 both extend along the arrangement direction L, and the sliding groove 127 is disposed corresponding to the redundant space at one end of the first receiving groove 125 away from the second receiving groove 134 for the support plate 11 to slide relative to the carrier plate 12.

[0131] In one embodiment, the end portion of the guide member 115 disposed in the sliding groove 127 is connected to the sliding groove 127 by an interference fit. In this embodiment, the sliding end 116 is connected to the sliding groove 127 by an interference fit.

[0132] In this embodiment, "interference fit" may mean that the outer diameter of the sliding end 116 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the sliding groove 127, or the outer diameter of the sliding end 116 is substantially the same as the inner diameter of the sliding groove 127, so that the outer peripheral edge of the sliding end 116 abuts against the inner wall of the sliding groove 127 and there is mutual friction. Alternatively, "interference fit" may also mean that the length of the guiding member 115 along the extending direction T is slightly larger than the distance between the opposite side walls of the two sliding grooves 127 along the extending direction T, or the length of the guiding member 115 along the extending direction T is substantially the same as the distance between the opposite side walls of the two sliding grooves 127 along the extending direction T, so that the top surface of the sliding end 116 can abut against the side wall of the sliding groove 127 and there is mutual friction.

[0133] It can be understood that by making there be a frictional resistance between the sliding end 116 and the sliding groove 127, the self-rotation of the bearing plate 12 relative to the adapter plate 13 can be avoided. Without adding additional fixing devices, the folding stool 10 can be kept stably in the storage state, reducing the space occupied by the folding stool 10 and making the structure of the folding stool 10 more concise.

[0134] In one embodiment, the bearing plate 12 further includes an assembly ring 114. The assembly ring 114 is sleeved on the guiding member 115. The assembly ring 114 is clamped between the supporting plate 11 and the guiding structure 126 and is in abutting contact with the supporting plate 11 and the guiding structure 126 respectively.

[0135] It can be understood that by introducing the assembly ring 114, the frictional resistance between the supporting plate 11 and the bearing plate 12 can be increased, and the self-rotation of the bearing plate 12 relative to the adapter plate 13 can be avoided. Thus, without adding additional fixing devices, the folding stool 10 can be kept stably in the storage state, reducing the space occupied by the folding stool 10 and making the structure of the folding stool 10 more concise. In this embodiment, the sliding end 116 and the sliding groove 127 can be configured to be in a non-contact state for easy assembly.

[0136] It should be explained that when the user drives the bearing plate 12 with a slightly greater force, the frictional resistance between the sliding end 116 and the sliding groove 127 or the frictional resistance between the supporting plate 11 and the bearing plate 12 can be overcome, and the transformation of the folding stool 10 between the storage state and the unfolded state can be completed.

[0137] Further in combination with Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in one embodiment, the adapter plate 13 further includes a third plate body 130, and the fourth end portion 131 and the fifth end portion 132 are respectively located on opposite sides of the third plate body 130.

Parts of the first rotating shaft member 151 and the second rotating shaft member 152 are connected to the fourth end portion 131, and the other parts of the first rotating shaft member 151 and the second rotating shaft member 152 extend into the first accommodation cavity 133 for connecting with the third end portion 123 through the first mounting hole 124, so as to realize the rotational connection between the third end portion 123 and the fourth end portion 131.

[0139] In this embodiment, the second accommodation groove 134 extends along the arrangement direction L from the middle of the rotation connection plate 13 towards the side where the fourth end portion 131 is located until it communicates with the first accommodation cavity 133.

[0140] In this embodiment, weight-reducing structures 137 are formed on both opposite sides of the second accommodation groove 134. The weight-reducing structures 137 are formed by thinning the third plate body 130 and are used for weight reduction.

[0141] In one embodiment, an assembly groove 139 is provided on the side of the second accommodation groove 134 away from the fourth end portion 131 and close to the fifth end portion 132. The depression depth of the assembly groove 139 is greater than that of other areas of the second accommodation groove 134.
