[0002] In MPV models, particular attention is paid to the comfort and functionality of the second-row aviation seats, and at the same time, the EZE (entry and exit convenience) performance of the third-row passengers must be ensured.

[0003] The armrest structures on vehicle seats are diverse. However, in existing vehicle seats, the dual requirements of multifunction and sufficient passage space cannot be fully met. For armrests with complex functions: they are wide enough to ensure sufficient support space for the arms, and at the same time, they integrate complex functions such as cup holders, control buttons, and table boards inside the armrests. However, they occupy a large amount of space and affect the passengers' entry and exit to the third-row seats. For armrests configured with sufficient middle-row space, sufficient passage and third-row vision space should be reserved between the second-row aviation seats to ensure the EZE and open vision of the third-row passengers and relieve the sense of depression. However, their volume is generally small, and there is no space to configure complex functions. That is, it is difficult for the armrests of existing vehicle seats to achieve both full functionality and a large enough passage space on the side. Summary of the Utility Model

[0054] Embodiment 1:

[0055] As Figures 1-9 shown, a vehicle seat with a multifunctional armrest 2 mainly includes: a seat part 1, an armrest 2, and a locking mechanism 3.

[0056] A backrest (not marked in the figure) is provided on the seat part 1, and the backrest can be rotationally adjusted relative to the seat part 1.

[0057] The armrest 2 is movably arranged on the side of the seat part 1. Specifically, the armrest 2 is rotatably adjustable and arranged on the side of the seat part 1. The armrest 2 has an armrest mode and a bar mode, and the armrest 2 can be switched between the armrest mode and the bar mode. When the armrest 2 is in the armrest mode, the armrest 2 is vertically docked on the side of the seat part 1. At this time, the armrest 2 can support the arms of the passengers. At this time, the basic function of the armrest 2 is in the armrest mode. When the armrest 2 is switched from the armrest mode to the bar mode, the armrest 2 rotates and flips so that one side surface of the armrest 2 faces upward, and the armrest 2 is horizontally docked on the side of the seat part 1. The side area of the armrest 2 is much larger than the top surface area of the armrest 2. In the bar mode, the side surface of the armrest 2 faces upward, providing sufficient layout space. In the actual manufacturing process, generally, a cup holder and a lifting table board are integrated on the outer side surface 21 of the armrest 2 in this embodiment. When in the armrest mode, the cup holder and the lifting table board are on the outer side surface 21 of the armrest 2; when switched to the bar mode, the cup holder and the lifting table board are rotated to face upward, and at this time, they can be shared by the passengers on two adjacent vehicle seats.

[0058] During the actual use process, when the armrest 2 is in the armrest mode, the output rotating shaft 110 drives the armrest 2 to rotate 180 degrees in the first direction to switch to the bar mode. When the armrest 2 is in the bar mode, the output rotating shaft 110 drives the armrest 2 to rotate 180 degrees in the second direction to switch to the armrest mode. The first direction is opposite to the second direction. For example, the first direction is clockwise and the second direction is counterclockwise.

[0059] Preferably, the side of the armrest 2 close to the seat part 1 is the inner side surface 22, and the side far from the seat part 1 is the outer side surface 21. The cup holder and the lifting table board of this embodiment are integrated on the outer side surface 21 of the armrest 2, and the inner side surface 22 of the armrest 2 is covered with a soft material, such as leather. By contacting the passengers through this soft material, the comfort of the passengers can be improved. When the armrest 2 is switched to the bar mode, the outer side surface 21 faces upward and is a hard surface, and the inner side surface 22 faces downward and is a soft surface.

[0060] Such as Figures 3-9As shown in the figure, the vehicle seat of this embodiment further includes a locking mechanism 3, which is disposed on the armrest 2 and used to lock the armrest 2. During use, when the armrest 2 is switched to the armrest mode, the locking mechanism 3 can lock the armrest 2 in the armrest mode. When the armrest 2 is switched to the bar mode, the locking mechanism 3 can lock the armrest 2 in the bar mode. The armrest mode and the bar mode are two extreme positions of the rotation of the armrest 2, and the locking mechanism 3 can lock the armrest 2 at the two extreme positions. Among them, there is a mounting bracket 10 on the seat part 1, and a switching motor 11 is provided on the mounting bracket 10. The switching motor 11 is used to drive the armrest 2 to switch between the armrest mode and the bar mode. The switching motor 11 has an output rotating shaft 110, and the output rotating shaft 110 is inclined. The armrest 2 is connected to the output rotating shaft 110. When the armrest 2 switches between the armrest mode and the bar mode, the armrest 2 rotates around the output rotating shaft 110 as the rotation center.

[0061] Specifically, an arc-shaped groove 100 is provided on the mounting bracket 10. The locking mechanism 3 includes a locking member 31, an unlocking motor 32 and a wire 33. The unlocking motor 32 is disposed on the armrest 2. Specifically, there is an armrest bracket 20 on the armrest 2, and the unlocking motor 32 is installed on the armrest bracket 20. The locking member 31 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 100 and is also movably installed on the armrest bracket 20. The locking member 31 is a locking pin, and a tension spring is provided on the locking pin. When the locking pin reaches the wedge-shaped groove, the locking member 31 will automatically lock and lock into the wedge-shaped groove. When the armrest 2 switches between the armrest mode and the bar mode, the locking member 31 slides along the arc-shaped groove 100 to ensure that the locking member 31 does not interfere with the rotation of the armrest 2. Locking position structures 101 are provided at both ends of the arc-shaped groove 100. Specifically, the locking position structure 101 is a wedge-shaped groove. When the armrest 2 is in the armrest mode, the locking member 31 locks into one locking position structure 101. When the armrest 2 is in the bar mode, the locking member 31 locks into the other locking position structure 101. Ensure that the armrest 2 has a stable structure whether in the armrest mode or the bar mode. The unlocking motor 32 is connected to the locking member 31 through the wire 33, and the unlocking motor 32 can pull the wire 33 to disengage the locking member 31 from the locking position structure 101 and unlock the locking member 31. After the unlocking motor 32 unlocks the locking member 31, the armrest 2 can move between the armrest mode and the bar mode, and the locking member 31 slides along the arc-shaped groove 100.

[0062] During actual use, under normal use conditions, the armrest 2 is in the armrest mode. The armrest 2 is vertically docked on the side of the seat part 1. The locking member 31 is in the locking structure 101 (i.e., the wedge-shaped groove) at one end of the arc-shaped groove 100, ensuring that the armrest 2 is locked in the vertical state. At this time, the armrest 2 can support the arms of the passengers on the car seat. When the unlocking motor 32 pulls the wire 33, causing the locking member 31 to disengage from the locking structure 101, the armrest 2 is unlocked. The switching motor 11 rotates, causing the armrest 2 to obliquely rotate 180 degrees relative to the center of the rotating shaft, and the armrest 2 is laid down in a horizontal position. The outer side surface 21 of the armrest 2 faces upward, and the armrest 2 is switched to the bar mode. The locking member 31 is locked into the locking structure 101 (wedge-shaped groove) at the other end of the arc-shaped groove 100, ensuring that the armrest 2 is locked in the horizontal state. At this time, the bar formed by the armrest 2 can be used by the passengers on two car seats.

[0063] Embodiment 2:

[0064] As Figures 10-11 shown, an automotive seat system. It can be understood that the automotive seat system in this embodiment is the second-row seat of an MPV, mainly including:

[0065] The first automotive seat 4 and the second automotive seat arranged side by side and at intervals; wherein, the first automotive seat 4 is configured as the automotive seat with the multifunctional armrest 2 in Embodiment 1. When the armrest 2 is in the armrest mode, there is a passage for passengers to pass through between the first automotive seat 4 and the second automotive seat. When the armrest 2 is in the bar mode, the armrest 2 can be shared by the passengers on the first automotive seat 4 and the passengers on the second automotive seat. Therefore, there is no need to additionally set the multifunctional armrest 2 in Embodiment 1 on the second automotive seat.

[0066] In summary, when the armrest 2 is in the armrest mode, the armrest 2 is vertically docked on the side of the seat part 1. At this time, the armrest 2 can support the arms of the passengers, performing the function of the armrest 2, and at this time, the armrest 2 does not occupy the space on the side of the adjacent car seat, facilitating the entry and exit of passengers. When the armrest 2 is rotated and flipped so that one side surface (outer side surface 21) of the armrest 2 faces upward and the armrest 2 is horizontally docked on the side of the seat, the armrest 2 is switched to the bar mode. In this bar mode, the armrest 2 can be shared by the passengers on two car seats, that is, the functions such as the cup holders and table boards integrated on the side of the armrest 2 can be shared by the passengers on two car seats, effectively reducing costs. This automotive seat can not only ensure the functions of the complex armrest 2 but also ensure that it does not occupy a large space to facilitate the entry and exit of passengers. Moreover, the armrest 2 and the seat part 1 can achieve function switching only by rotating around a single rotating shaft, and there are very few interference surfaces between the armrest 2 and the seat part 1 and the backrest during the rotation and switching process of the armrest 2, without affecting the shape of the automotive seat.
