Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle interior technology, and in particular to umbrella storage devices, seat assemblies, and vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] As the automotive industry continues to develop, people are no longer satisfied with just the basic needs of riding in a car; they expect cars to have more and more functions and be more applicable to various in-car usage scenarios.

[0003] For example, on rainy days, drivers or passengers may use umbrellas before getting into the car, and after getting in, the umbrellas will be covered with a lot of rainwater or mud. After closing the umbrellas, the water dripping from them will wet the car interior or clothing. When the car is moving, there will be shaking, and even if the umbrella is placed in a corner or under the feet, it may move around and get wet in more areas. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an umbrella storage device, a seat assembly, and a vehicle to address at least one of the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] On the one hand, this application provides an umbrella storage device, which includes: a side panel, the side panel including a mounting groove and a front connecting plate, the front connecting plate being fixed to the mounting groove and used to connect a seat; and an umbrella tube, which is detachably disposed in the mounting groove.

[0006] By incorporating a side panel, the umbrella storage device can be fixed to the side of the seat, thereby securing the umbrella tube to the side of the seat. The mounting groove allows for detachable connection between the umbrella tube and the seat, enabling the tube to be removed after use to remove water, while also securing the tube during use. This also prevents the umbrella tube from wobbling when adjusting the seat back, thus preventing rainwater from splashing off the umbrella or its tube. The umbrella storage device of this application allows for clean and tidy umbrella storage and includes drainage features.

[0007] In some implementations, the umbrella tube is inserted into a mounting slot.

[0008] This design allows for quick installation of the umbrella tube and easy removal of the tube to drain water. The umbrella storage device is simple in structure, stable in construction, and easy to use.

[0009] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the cylinder is a rounded rectangle.

[0010] This design ensures smooth installation and disassembly of the cylinder, preventing jamming from sharp corners. When installed in the mounting slot, the cylinder's non-circular shape prevents rotation around its own axis, maintaining stability after installation. Furthermore, the cylinder can be installed in various ways, such as by reversing its front and back sections while still remaining stable. This allows operators greater flexibility and convenience in installing the cylinder, reducing the risk of incomplete or unstable installation due to misalignment between the cylinder and the mounting slot.

[0011] In some embodiments, the umbrella tube includes a flared opening connected to the tube body.

[0012] This design results in a larger flared opening, making it easier for users to insert the umbrella into the umbrella tube and guide it into the tube. Furthermore, the difference between the flared opening and the tube itself allows the operator to more easily identify the structural orientation of the umbrella tube, enabling more accurate installation into the mounting slot.

[0013] In some embodiments, the front connecting plate extends along a first direction, and the dimension of the umbrella tube along the first direction is greater than the dimension of the umbrella tube along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0014] This design results in a flatter overall shape for the umbrella storage device. When placed next to the seat, the device is smaller in size along the left and right sides, taking up less space. Furthermore, the shape of the umbrella tube helps users distinguish between the front-to-back and left-to-right directions, facilitating installation; it also helps prevent the umbrella tube from rotating within the mounting slot.

[0015] In some embodiments, the umbrella storage device further includes at least one moisture-absorbing element disposed within a mounting groove, the umbrella tube having a through hole communicating with the mounting groove.

[0016] This design allows the moisture-absorbing component to absorb moisture, helping to prevent water accumulation inside the umbrella tube. The moisture-absorbing component can be easily removed from the shallow mounting slot, quickly removing a large amount of moisture from the slot.

[0017] In some embodiments, the side panel also includes a connecting shell that connects to the front connecting plate and accommodates a mounting slot; the opening of the mounting slot faces upward; the umbrella storage device also includes a connecting cover disposed on the side of the connecting shell and used to connect the seat.

[0018] This design allows the side panels to be more securely attached to the seat, and the structural strength of the mounting slots is higher, preventing the umbrella tube from vibrating.

[0019] On the other hand, this application provides a seat assembly, which includes: a seat; and the aforementioned umbrella storage device, the umbrella storage device being disposed on one side of the seat, and the side panel being connected to the seat.

[0020] By incorporating an umbrella storage device into the seat, passengers can conveniently and neatly store their umbrellas, preventing them from getting wet, and the storage device does not interfere with the use of the seat. The seat assembly of this application meets the needs of passengers for storing umbrellas, providing excellent and comprehensive functionality.

[0021] On the other hand, this application provides a vehicle that includes the aforementioned seat assembly.

[0022] The vehicle in this application can store umbrellas, ensuring the cleanliness of the interior and the clothing of the passengers. The vehicle has sufficient interior space and can drain water after use.

[0023] In some implementations, the seat assembly is a front seat assembly, with the umbrella tube located at the back of the seat assembly in the fore-aft direction.

[0024] This design allows both front and rear passengers to use the umbrella holders, maximizing the use of interior space. Attached Figure Description

However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0031] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0032] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0033] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0034] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a flexible connection or a rigid connection along at least one direction; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a direct connection with an intermediate medium present; and they can also refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] For ease of description, this application establishes a spatial rectangular coordinate system XYZ, where the X-axis can point to the front-back direction, the Y-axis can point to the left-right direction, and the Z-axis can point to the up-down direction.

[0036] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 An umbrella storage device according to this application is shown. In an exemplary embodiment, the umbrella storage device 100 includes a side plate 1 and an umbrella tube 2. The side plate 1 can extend generally along the X-axis direction, and the side plate 1 and the umbrella tube 2 can be correspondingly arranged along the Z-axis direction.

[0037] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the side panel 1 includes a mounting groove 12 and a front connecting plate 11. The front connecting plate 11 is fixed to the mounting groove 12, and the two can be arranged along the X-axis direction. The front connecting plate 11 can be located in front of the mounting groove 12. Figure 3 As shown, the front connecting plate 11 of the side panel 1 is used to connect the seat 200, and the side panel 1 can be located on one side of the seat 200 along the Y-axis direction. By setting the side panel 1, the umbrella storage device 100 can be fixed to the side of the seat 200. For example, the groove of the mounting groove 12 is upward along the Z-axis direction, and may also have a certain inclination, such as an inclination in the XZ plane.

[0038] The umbrella tube 2 is disposed in the mounting groove 12, so that the umbrella tube 2 for storing the umbrella is fixed next to the seat 200. By providing a detachable connection between the mounting groove 12 and the umbrella tube 2, the umbrella tube 2 can be removed after use to remove accumulated water. In an optional embodiment, the umbrella tube 2 has a base plate, or the through hole of the umbrella tube 2 communicates with the mounting groove 12. After the umbrella tube 2 with a base plate is removed, the accumulated water can be poured out, and then it may be necessary to clean the stains on the inner wall of the umbrella tube 2. After the umbrella tube 2 with a through hole is removed, the accumulated water in the shallower mounting groove 12 needs to be removed.

[0039] When in use, the umbrella storage device 100 uses the mounting slot 12 to secure the umbrella tube 2. Passengers often adjust the backrest 220 of the seat 200 according to their size or needs; the umbrella tube 2 can avoid the backrest 220 to facilitate this adjustment. The mounting slot 12 also prevents the umbrella tube 2 from wobbling when the passenger adjusts the backrest 220, thus preventing rainwater from splashing onto the umbrella or the umbrella tube 2.

[0040] refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the umbrella storage device 100 may further include at least one moisture-absorbing element 3 disposed within the mounting groove 12. When the umbrella tube 2 is installed within the mounting groove 12, the moisture-absorbing element 3 corresponds to the bottom of the umbrella tube 2. The moisture-absorbing element 3 may be located inside the umbrella tube 2, or the moisture-absorbing element 3 may be pressed under the umbrella tube 2.

[0041] For example, the umbrella tube 2 has a through hole communicating with the mounting groove 12. This could be a perforated plate at the bottom, or the through hole in the umbrella tube 2 could be completely open from top to bottom. When the umbrella is placed inside the umbrella tube 2, rainwater flows downwards into the mounting groove 12, where the moisture-absorbing component 3 absorbs the moisture, helping to prevent water accumulation inside the umbrella tube 2. After removing the umbrella tube 2, the moisture-absorbing component 3 can be easily removed from the shallow mounting groove 12. The moisture-absorbing capacity of the component 3 also prevents water accumulation in the mounting groove 12, thus removing the component 3 quickly removes a large amount of moisture from the mounting groove 12.

[0042] Optionally, the moisture-absorbing component 3 can be reused after drying, or a new moisture-absorbing component 3 can be replaced. The material of the moisture-absorbing component 3 can be a water-absorbing material. The moisture-absorbing component 3 can have a porous structure. The moisture-absorbing component 3 can be water-absorbing filter paper. For example, the umbrella storage device 100 includes two layers of water-absorbing filter paper. The lower layer of water-absorbing filter paper enhances the moisture absorption capacity of the upper layer of water-absorbing filter paper. The two layers of water-absorbing filter paper can absorb more water, effectively preventing water accumulation in the mounting groove 12.

[0043] In some embodiments, the umbrella tube 2's body 22 is inserted into the mounting groove 12. The insertion method is simple and quick, allowing users to easily assemble and disassemble the umbrella tube 2. The outer surface of the body 22 can completely fit the inner surface of the mounting groove 12, which stably fixes the body 22. The body 22 can be inserted and removed within the mounting groove 12 along the Z-axis. The umbrella storage device 100 has a simple structure, stable construction, and is easy to use.

[0044] Optionally, the cross-section of the cylinder 22 and the cross-section of the mounting groove 12 are non-circular. When the cylinder 22 is installed in the mounting groove 12, the non-circular shape of the cylinder 22 can prevent it from rotating around its own axis, so that the installed cylinder 22 can remain stable.

[0045] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the cylinder 22 is a rounded rectangle, specifically a rounded elongated rectangle. The cylinder 22 is easy to install and disassemble, avoiding jamming at sharp corners; in addition, the cylinder 22 can be installed in different ways, such as being able to be installed stably after being swapped front to back, allowing operators to install the cylinder 22 more flexibly and conveniently, reducing the possibility of installation failure or insecure installation caused by misalignment between the cylinder 22 and the mounting groove 12.

[0046] In some embodiments, the umbrella tube 2 includes a flared opening 21. The flared opening 21 is connected to the tube body 22 and is located on the tube body 22, with the flared opening 21 being wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The user can more easily insert the umbrella into the larger-diameter flared opening 21, and then the umbrella will stably enter the tube body 22 under the guidance of the flared opening 21.

[0047] The flared mouth 21 cannot be inserted into the mounting slot 12. The difference between the upper and lower ends of the umbrella tube 2 also makes it easier for the operator to distinguish the structural posture of the umbrella tube 2, and then naturally install the tube body 22 into the mounting slot 12.

[0048] The dimension of umbrella tube 2 along the first direction is larger than the dimension of umbrella tube 2 along the second direction perpendicular to the first direction, for reference. Figure 1 The first direction can be roughly parallel to the X-axis, and the second direction can be roughly parallel to the Y-axis. The umbrella storage device 100 has a relatively flat overall shape, roughly L-shaped in the XZ plane, and its size in the Y-axis direction is small. When the umbrella storage device 100 is placed next to the seat 200, its size in the left and right directions is small, occupying less space. The umbrella tube 2 has a relatively flat shape, which helps the user distinguish the front-back direction and the left-right direction of the umbrella tube 2, making it easier to install the umbrella tube 2; it also helps to prevent the umbrella tube 2 from rotating in the mounting groove 12.

[0049] For example, the umbrella tube 2 can accommodate one or two umbrellas. Multiple umbrellas can be arranged side by side in the umbrella tube 2 along the X-axis.

[0050] The front connecting plate 11 may include a connecting portion 111 for connecting to the seat 200. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the front connecting plate 11 extends along a first direction. The front connecting plate 11 may include a first baffle 112 extending along the XZ plane and having a longitudinal shape along the X-axis direction. The first baffle 112 can be used to prevent foreign objects from falling under the seat 200.

[0051] The side panel 1 may also include a connecting shell 13, which is connected to the front connecting plate 11 and is used to accommodate the mounting groove 12. The opening of the mounting groove 12 faces upward, and the connecting shell 13 can be connected to the opening of the mounting groove 12. When the mounting groove 12 is in the process of installing the umbrella tube 2, the connecting shell 13 provides an upward pulling force to the mounting groove 12 to ensure the stability of the mounting groove 12. The side panel 1 has a lightweight structure but good stability.

[0052] The umbrella storage device 100 also includes a connecting cover 14, which can be assembled with the side panel 1 to form a side panel assembly 10. Exemplarily, both the connecting cover 14 and the side panel 1 are integral structures. Specifically, the connecting cover 14 is disposed on the side of the connecting shell 13 and is used to connect the seat 200. The connecting cover 14, in conjunction with the front connecting plate 11, allows the side panel 1 to be more securely connected to the seat 200, resulting in higher structural strength at the mounting groove 12 and preventing the umbrella tube 2 from vibrating.

[0053] For example, the connecting cover 14 includes a cover body 141, a horizontal plate 143, and a second baffle 142. The cover body 141 is fastened to the connecting shell 13 and can cover the mounting groove 12. The horizontal plate 143 can protrude from the cover body 141 along the Y-axis direction. The second baffle 142 is connected to the horizontal plate 143 and can be connected to the first baffle 112. The overall shape of the connecting cover 14 is conducive to improving structural rigidity.

[0054] refer to Figure 3This application provides a seat assembly 300, which includes a seat 200 and an umbrella storage device 100.

[0055] For example, the seat 200 may include a seat cushion 210 and a backrest 220. The backrest 220 is adjustable relative to the seat cushion 210, specifically rotatable in the XZ plane. The seat 200 may also include a slide rail 230 that extends along the X-axis. The seat cushion 210 is slidably connected to the slide rail 230, thus allowing the position of the seat cushion 210 to be adjusted along the X-axis.

[0056] The umbrella storage device 100 is the aforementioned umbrella storage device 100. The umbrella storage device 100 is disposed on one side of the seat 200, and the side panel 1 is connected to the seat 200, for example, it can be connected to the seat cushion 210. The position of the umbrella tube 2 along the X-axis direction can approximately correspond to the backrest 220.

[0057] The umbrella storage device 100 is securely and stably fixed without affecting the use of the seat 200. Passengers can easily access their umbrellas when getting in and out of the vehicle, and then place or retrieve them. When getting into the vehicle on rainy days, passengers can neatly store their umbrellas before and after sitting down, thus maintaining a clean and tidy interior environment. The seat assembly 300 of this application meets the needs of passengers for storing umbrellas and effectively absorbs and cleans rainwater.

[0058] This application provides a vehicle including the aforementioned seat assembly 300. When passengers enter the vehicle with umbrellas in the rain, the umbrella storage device 100 can store the umbrellas, ensuring the cleanliness of the vehicle interior and the occupants' clothing. The vehicle interior has sufficient space and can also drain accumulated water after use.

[0059] In some implementations, the seat assembly 300 is a front seat assembly, and the umbrella tube 2 is located at the backrest 220 in the fore-aft direction. The umbrella tube 2 can be used by both front and rear passengers, resulting in high utilization of vehicle interior space. Figure 3 In some embodiments, the umbrella storage device 100 may be located on the left side of the seat 200. In other embodiments, the umbrella storage device 100 may be located on the right side of the seat 200.

[0060] The technical features of the above-disclosed embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0061] The embodiments disclosed above merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of patent protection of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of patent protection claimed by this application.
