Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile seats, in particular to an automobile seat that can be turned over and hidden, and a car with the automobile seat. Background Art

[0002] To improve rear-seat space utilization, more and more car rear seats are being designed with flippable design. By creating a corresponding recess in the vehicle body, when the rear seat is not occupied, the backrest can be rotated onto the seat cushion. The backrest and the seat cushion then flip back into the recess together, freeing up the space previously occupied by the rear seat for storage. However, existing rear seats, due to limitations such as their hinged structure, cannot be fully retracted into the recess. A portion of the structure remains exposed, preventing the seat from being completely concealed, and the increased rear-seat space remains limited. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention aims to provide a car seat that can be flipped and hidden and a car having the car seat, so as to solve the problem that the existing car seat cannot be completely put into the pit as a whole.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention proposes a car seat that can be flipped and hidden, including a seat cushion frame and a backrest frame, the backrest frame is rotatably arranged on the seat cushion frame, the seat cushion frame is equipped with a floor lock, the backrest frame is equipped with a backrest lock, the floor lock and the backrest lock are controlled by the same cable-type unlocking assembly, the handle of the cable-type unlocking assembly is installed on the back of the backrest frame, and also includes two symmetrically arranged folding links, the top ends of the two folding links are respectively hinged to the two sides of the rear end of the seat cushion frame, the bottom ends of the two folding links are respectively hinged to the front side walls of the storage pit, and the middle and lower parts of the folding links are both located in the storage pit. The storage pit is arranged on the vehicle body floor at the rear side of the seat cushion frame, and the length of the folding connecting rod is greater than the length of the seat cushion frame in front of it. When the handle is pulled backward, the floor lock and the backrest lock can be unlocked, and after unlocking, the handle can also drive the seat cushion frame to flip forward relative to the folding connecting rod for folding, and at the same time drive the folding connecting rod to flip backward relative to the hinge point on the storage pit. At this time, after releasing the handle, the backrest frame can flip forward under the action of its own gravity until it is folded with the seat cushion frame, so that the seat cushion frame, backrest frame and folding connecting rod can be rotated into the storage pit together, and after entering the pit, the top surface of the backrest frame is flush with the vehicle body floor or is located below the vehicle body floor.

[0005] In the above embodiment, a return spring is installed between the bottom end of the folding link and the storage recess. When the folding link rotates into the storage recess, the return spring is compressed. When the seat needs to be flipped outward from the storage recess, the return spring provides assistance, requiring only 80-100N of force to pull the seat out.

[0006] In the above solution, the folding link has a forward-facing bent section at its top end, and the folding link is hinged to the seat frame at the front end of the bent section. This simple structure allows for easy forward adjustment of the hinge point, creating an L-shape for the folding link. This further ensures the folding connection between the folding link and the seat frame (helping to prevent the two from being on the same plane, allowing them to overlap after folding).

[0007] In the above scheme: the floor lock includes a lock body hinged to the bottom end of the seat cushion frame and a lock bolt fixed to the bottom plate of the vehicle body, the lock body is equipped with a storage cable, the storage cable passes from the top surface of the seat cushion frame around the rear end of the seat cushion frame and is fixed to the rear end of the bending section, and the storage cable is in a taut state. When the seat cushion frame is flipped forward relative to the folding connecting rod for folding, the rear end of the seat cushion frame is farther away from the rear end of the bending section, so that the storage cable can pull the lock body to flip backward relative to the seat cushion frame, thereby folding and storing it on the seat cushion frame.

[0008] Existing rear seats are usually equipped with floor locks. When the rear seats are folded and stored, the floor locks cannot be folded, which seriously affects the overall storage effect of the rear seats, or a separate power mechanism is required to fold the floor locks, which has a relatively complicated structure. However, the lock body of the floor lock of the utility model can be automatically folded when the seat cushion frame is folded, and no additional power mechanism is required. It has a simple structure and an ingenious design.

[0009] The utility model also provides a car, comprising a pit cover and the above-mentioned car seat that can be flipped and hidden. When the car seat is flipped into the pit, the pit cover can cover the top surface of the storage pit.

[0010] The beneficial effect of the present utility model is that by arranging folding links between the two sides of the rear end of the seat cushion frame and the storage pit, when the buckle is pulled backward, the floor lock and the backrest lock are unlocked, and the buckle can also drive the seat cushion frame to flip forward relative to the folding links for folding, and at the same time drive the folding links to flip backward relative to the hinge point on the storage pit. At this time, after the buckle is released, the backrest frame can flip forward under the action of its own gravity until it is folded with the seat cushion frame, so that the seat cushion frame, the backrest frame and the folding links can be rotated into the storage pit together; this design makes the car seat free from restrictions such as the hinge structure, and can be completely rotated into the storage pit as a whole, and the storage pit can be covered by the pit cover plate, so that the car seat can be completely hidden, greatly expanding the usable space of the rear row of the car.

[0015] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the storage cable.

[0016] Figure 5 yes Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the back. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 5, a car seat capable of being flipped and hidden is primarily composed of a seat frame 1, a backrest frame 2, and two symmetrically arranged folding links 4. The backrest frame 2 is rotatably mounted on the seat frame 1. The seat frame 1 is equipped with a floor lock 3, and the backrest frame 2 is equipped with a backrest lock. The floor lock 3 and the backrest lock are controlled by the same cable-type unlocking assembly, the handle of which is mounted on the back of the backrest frame 2.

[0018] The top ends of the two folding links 4 are hinged to the two sides of the rear end of the seat cushion frame 1, and the bottom ends of the two folding links 4 are hinged to the front side walls of the storage pits, and the middle and lower parts of the folding links 4 are both located in the storage pits. The storage pits are arranged on the bottom plate of the vehicle body on the rear side of the seat cushion frame 1. The length of the folding link 4 is greater than the length of the seat cushion frame 1 in front of it.

[0019] When the handle is pulled backward, the floor lock 3 and the backrest lock can be unlocked, and after unlocking, the handle can also drive the seat cushion frame 1 to flip forward relative to the folding link 4 for folding, and at the same time drive the folding link 4 to flip backward relative to the hinge point on the storage pit; after releasing the handle at this time, the backrest frame 2 can flip forward under the action of its own gravity until it is folded with the seat cushion frame 1, so that the seat cushion frame 1, the backrest frame 2 and the folding link 4 can be turned into the storage pit together, and after entering the pit, the top surface of the backrest frame 2 is flush with the bottom plate of the vehicle body or is located below the bottom plate of the vehicle body.

[0020] Preferably, a return spring 5 is provided between the bottom end of the folding link 4 and the storage recess. When the folding link 4 is rotated into the storage recess, the return spring 5 is compressed. When the seat needs to be flipped outward from the storage recess, the return spring 5 can provide assistance, and only 80-100N of force is required to pull the seat out and open.

[0021] Preferably, the top end of the folding link 4 is provided with a bent section 41, and the folding link 4 is hinged to the seat frame 1 at the front end of the bent section 41. This structure is simple and convenient for adjusting the hinge point forward, that is, the folding link 4 is L-shaped, which can better ensure the folding effect of the folding link 4 and the seat frame 1 (helping to avoid the two being on the same plane, so that they can overlap after folding).

[0022] Preferably, the floor lock 3 includes a lock body 31 hinged to the bottom end of the seat cushion frame 1 and a lock bolt fixed to the bottom plate of the vehicle body. The lock body 31 is equipped with a storage cable 6. The storage cable 6 passes from the top surface of the seat cushion frame 1 around the rear end of the seat cushion frame 1 and is fixed to the rear end of the bending section 41. The storage cable 6 is in a taut state. When the seat cushion frame 1 is flipped forward relative to the folding link 4 for folding, the distance between the rear end of the seat cushion frame 1 and the rear end of the bending section 41 becomes farther, so that the storage cable 6 can pull the lock body 31 to flip backward relative to the seat cushion frame 1, thereby folding and storing it on the seat cushion frame 1.

[0023] Existing rear seats are usually equipped with floor locks 3. When the rear seats are folded and stored, the floor locks 3 thereon cannot be folded, which seriously affects the overall storage effect of the rear seats, or a separate power mechanism is required to fold the floor locks 3, which has a relatively complicated structure. However, the lock body 31 of the floor lock 3 of the utility model can be automatically folded when the seat cushion frame 1 is folded, and no additional power mechanism is required. The structure is simple and the design is ingenious.

[0024] A car comprises a pit cover and the above-mentioned car seat that can be flipped and hidden. When the car seat is flipped into the pit, the pit cover can cover the top surface of the storage pit.
